Penelope Garcia found out about them and it'll be only a matter of time until everybody knows. Emily's heart races and her vision gets blurry. The thing with Hannah is something totally new for her too and she doesn't even know what it is. What she is... if she's a lesbian or bisexual or straight... Hannah is the first woman to who she feels attracted to. So she's basically bi, right? Before Prentiss could think about it further everything goes black for a moment, but she doesn't fall down. Hannah holds her with two steady hands on the waist and helps her sit down on a desk nearby. Then she turns to Penelope and Emily tries to understand what she's saying to the tech-geek. „Penelope, promise me you will keep your chatty mouth shut about this. We'll tell you all soon enough, if we're a thing...understood?"
Garcia swallows hard as Hannah's squishing her arms even harder. „I promise", she answers and looks at Emily. „Will she be okay?", Penelope continues worried.
„Yeah, I'm driving her home. We'll see you tomorrow Garcia", Hannah says and kneels next to Emily. Penelope understood the message and leaves. They're finally alone again.
She takes Prentiss's hands and tries to calm her down. „Emily, breath with me...in...and out...and again"
The brunette's breathing gets calmer and there's even a bit of happiness in her eyes. „You called me Emily..."
Hannah chuckles. „Yes, I did... Come on, I'll drive you home"
She nods and the blonde helps her to the mustang. Inside it smells like Hannah and cigarettes. Emily raises an eyebrow as she never would have thought, that Agent Reid is a smoker. She herself - thank god - quit a few years ago, but the smell reminds her of all the wild memorys as a teenager and makes her smile. They drive out of the garage and Prentiss lays her head on Hannah's shoulder. The blonde smiles and before she knew the words have flown out of her mouth. „I love you".
Emily looks up and Hannah doesn't dare to take her eyes of the street. Not if she could basically feel the shock of the brunette beside her. But Prentiss doesn't answer. How could she? She doesn't even know the answer herself yet. The silence only lasts for a minute as she finally answers and Hannah's heart stops for a beat. „I-...I think I love you too. Don't get me wrong... It's just-... You're the first woman I feel attracted to and-", Prentiss stops and almost whispers, „it scares me".
Hannah sighs relieved. „I know exactly how you're feeling right now. Believe me... It frightened the shit out of me the first time I'd fallen for a woman."
Emily looks surprised. „Really? You? Scared??"
The blonde chuckles. „Yes, frightened."
„How did you overcome it?", Emily asks curiously and starts playing with the rings on Hannah's right hand, which is resting next to the driver seat while the other hand is holding the steering wheel. The blonde sighs. „I accepted the fact, that I am a lesbian and love women. You don't choose who you fall in love with. Besides there are many women who realize as an adult, that they're queer."
Emily nods. The blonde is right. She's bisexual and she'll accept that. In the end she didn't choose to fall for Hannah Reid, but she did and it makes her happy to spend time with her.
They park in front of the building the brunette lives in. „Thank you for giving me a ride. I wouldn't have been able to drive myself..." Emily stops talking and lays her hand on the side of the blonde's face, who's heart beats faster because of the gentle touch. „Emily-...". She gets interrupted by the lips of the brunette on her own. The kiss is soft and not as hot as the one at the BAU, but still as good. Emily pulls away and Hannah keeps her eyes shut for another three seconds. She really loves the feeling of Emily's lips on her own. As she opens her eyes Prentiss sits in front of her looking at her amazed. Hannah smiles. She definitely has the brunette on the hook, but this time she's also on the hook. It's perfect.
„What?", the blonde asks with a smirk, knowing damn well the effect she has on women. And even though Emily seems to doesn't notice yet, she has the same effect on women.
„I love you, too", the brunette says. The blonde didn't expect this answer, but it makes her so happy. She pulls the brunette in another kiss and the joy she feels is something she'd missed for the last year. She missed smiling. She missed letting someone in her heart. She missed a Emily... And now she has it all, thanks to her job. Maybe there's still hope for the BAU and others will find their love on this daily devastating and traumatic job.

So this is the next chapter. Thank you for your patience. The next part will be published on Tuesday next week. Love y'all.
Yours
