Fractured Thoughts

Reminiscing

A/N

Sorry if there's grammar or punctuation or capitalization errors, my nook sucks at that stuff, when I'm on my iPod or computer I can make it pretty. By the way, I still don't own Criminal Minds, CBS seems reluctant to give it to me.

"We could just go home right now or we could stick around for just one more drink oh yeah. Here's to is here's to love all the times that we messed up fill the glass cuz the last few days have kicked my ass"

We get to the restaurant and JJ comes up to me and yells at me the same usual stuff about irresponsibility. We sit down at the table and as the conversations start, the pain lessens. I laugh, and smile, and talk and for a little I feel alive. I watch my family and remember how they came to be my family.

Flashback

" When you get to the BAU tell them that Aaron Hotchner is expecting you." My mother says. I nod my head. She smiles sadly at me " remember baby, momma always loves you." I smile and hug her. " I love you too momma." I get in the elevator and arrive at the BAU floor. I climb the stairs looking for Aaron Hotchner. I find his office and sit on the couch, sucking my thumb. I fall asleep. JJ walks in. She calls, " guys? C'mere!" The team walks in. " what the hell?" Morgan says. " whose kid is that?" I look at them. " my momma said you would look after me." Garcia comes down next to me. " Hey doll, who's your mum?" I look at her. "Elle Greenaway" Morgan bend down and takes my hand. " What's your name baby doll?" I smile at him and giggle, " I'm not a doll. My names Georgia Ella Greenaway." He smiles, " Did your momma give you anything?" I pull out a note. Morgan takes it and gives it to hotch. He looks at the team. " Elle left her in my care." He asks JJ to take me to the conference room while he takes care if a few things. I smile and run into JJ's arms. She says, " lets go meet spencer." She scoops me up and Carries me to the conference room. Spencer is sitting at a table reading. " Spence? This is... What do you wanna be called sweetie?" She asks looking at me. " Ellie." I say. Spencer looks up from his book. " I'm spencer." I smile, " I'm Ellie." I asks him said smiling. He smiles at me and asks, "do you wanna see a magic trick."

with that I am pulled out of my reverie. I laugh I realize everyone was staring at me. Garcias eyes fill with tears

she gets up and hugs me. " Hey PG, why so emotional?" She sobs " You laughed, you're back." my own eyes fill with tears. " im so sorry for everything I put you through, I know that you guys missed her too." I whisper. Rossi smiles at me, and even Hotch gives me a small smile, very uncommon for him. JJ smiled too, but avoids my eyes. I glance at her, and she looks away. I turn away, into Hotch's embrace. He buries his face in my hair, and whispers,

" If you ever do that again, I will ground you until you're 18." I tighten my arms around him.

" I'm sorry Ho- Dad." He squeezes me, and said, " I told Jack you'd be home tonight." I smile.

" Then let's go." I give hugs to my family, and then drive home with Hotch. Jack runs to the door, I can hear him calling, " Daddy and Belly are home!" I open the door, and scoop him up. " Hey JAck-o, how's it hanging little man?" Jack smiles at me, but then his face goes somber. " I miss Auntie Emily." I smile sadly.

" So do I big guy." Hotch comes in, and puts an arm around us . " Hey G-man, it's time for bed" Jack says

" Okay Daddy." I kiss him on the forehead, " Night love." He responds.

" I love you too Belly."
