A Broken Trust

Chapter 16

A few minutes later, the reception was in full swing. JJ, Garcia, Emily, and Kate were sitting together at a round table in Rossi's back yard. The babies were both asleep. Not too far away, Morgan, Chris, Will, and Hotch were also having a conversation. Reid and Ronnie were talking to her former interpol coleagues over in the Gazeebo while Markayla and Meg kept Jack and Henry entertained. Rossi was currently talking with Reid's mother, Diana and her Dr from Bennington. Dianna was doing really well these days, having more and more good days. Dr. Norman agreed to accompany her to Virginia for the wedding.

"Em, I can't beleive you're actually flying back to London tomorrow." said, JJ, as she rocked Rindy.

"Yeah, it's too soon.", added Garcia with a slight moan."

"I know. I'll miss you guys too, but it's time. JJ's starting back on Monday and my Interpol team needs me.", replied Emily, gently sqeezing Garcia's hand.

"I hope you'll come back to visit again as much as possible though. Meg and I will miss you too. It's been fun hanging out with you and becoming friends. I can't ever thank you enough for getting my little girl back to me.", said Kate, tears forming in her eyes as she remembered what they had all been through not so long ago. Emily just shrugged it off saying,

"Don't mention it. It's part of my job to keep people safe and rid the streets of sickos. The BAU is family even though I'm working for Interpol now. Family protects family. You and your family are now a part of that family."

"Thankyou.", Kate said softly, " Meg is completely facinated by you and your job. No offence but I am honestly hoping she doesn't choose that line of work when she grows up. It's way too dangerous!" JJ chuckled and said,

"Spoken like a true mom. If Meg's anything like you, though, I expect she will go into that line of work. Don't worry though. She's alot like you. She'll be great at her job and be able to take care of herself." Kate just sighed at that and patted little J who had started crying. Rindy was awakened by the noise and started crying as well, so the conversation ended there. A few minutes later, Rossi came over and announced it was time for the toasts from the Best Man and Maid of Honor. Every one gathered in a group and Morgan stepped forward and took the handheld wireless Microphone that Rossi handed him.

"I have known Pretty Boy for over ten years now, and he is like a little brother to me. We have both been through alot, though Reid has been through more than anyone should have to go through. It was a long road, but Reid finally found Ronnie about a year ago and I have never seen him look happier. Ronnie, you have been really good for the kid. We are blessed to have you on our team and in our family! Love you both. I know you will have a wonderful life together." Reid and Morgan both had tears in their eyes when the speach was finished. Morgan haned the microphone back to Rossi and went over to Reid and Ronnie. The older man embraced the younger man in a big, brotherly hug, then reached out to include Ronnie. Next,it was Emily's turn to make a toast.

"I have known Reid for a total of about eight and a half years. When I first joined the team I was totally impressed by him and to tell the truth, he scared me a little bit, too." This brought gentle chuckles from the group. Emily continued,

"Through the years, his uncanny ability to make his way through tragedy stronger than ever has never ceased to amaze me. Ronnie, I haven't known you quite as long but you are a great Agent and and one of the sweetest and optimistic people I know besides Garcia. And one of the most couragouse. You make Reid happy, and he deserves to finally be happy in life. You both do. I wish you both nothing but the best as you embark on this new Journey; your life together. Love you guys." With that, Emily handed off the microphone and went over to pull Reid and Ronnie into a bug hug and give Reid a kiss on the cheek. Then it was time for the first dance between the bride and groom. Reid lead Ronnie onto the dance floor where they danced to "I can hear Music" by the Beach Boys. After that Reid danced the mother/son dance with his mother to the Bob Dylan song, "Mr Tamborine man."

"Son, I just want you to know, I'm glad you finally found someone to make you happy and make your life complete.", said Dianna as she danced with her son.

"Thanks, mom. Don't worry though. You haven't lost me. I'll always be your little boy.", Reid replied. Dianna shook her head and said,

"But you aren't a little boy. You're a man now. I'm sorry for the horrendous nightmare I made of your childhood. But, I am so proud of the wonderful successful man you've become."

"Mom, don't apologize. It wasn't your fault. You couldn't help getting the illness. I'm just glad you are well enough to share this important day with me. I wrote to dad but never heard back." ,said Reid, kissing his mom on the cheek as the song ended. Dianna embraced her son and said, firmly,

"That's your father's loss. It's your wedding, Spencer. I wouldn't have missed this for the world. I love you, Son.",

"I love you, too, mom.", Reid responded, then he and his mom yielded the dance floor to Ronnie and Rossi who danced to "Mambo Italliano" by Rosemary Clooney. After that, the others joined in the dancing until it was time to cut the cake. Ronnie and Reid soon went into Rossi's house to change clothes. about an hour later, it was time to see the bride and groom off on their honeymoon. Reid and Ronnie kissed and hugged all their friends and family and then rushed to the limo(courtasy of Rossi) in a sea of bubbles. After that Dr Norman took Dianna back inside the house so she could get some rest. The rest of the group decided to hang out and talk for awhile.

"Chief, It's good to see you having fun.", Inspector Mccormick said to Emily. Emily looked a bit offended.

"What's that supposed to mean, Mccormick?"

"Well, it's just that you seem so different when your're around your old team.", said Andrews.

"Happier.", added Simmons. Then, it suddenly dawned on Emily where this conversation was going.

"Oh, are you guys afraid that now that I've been back hear for a few months, you've lost me?"

"Well, Ronnie left and is staying here in Quantico.", said Andrews, quietly.

"Guys, I love my BAU team. They're my family. But, I left for a good reason. I can't do that job anymore. At least not regularly. I'm not leaving Interpol anytime soon. You guys are stuck with me." The three men grinned and Mccormick said,

"That's good. However, I do think you need more fun in your life. And I know just the guy."

"Ooh no! Mccormick, you are NOT setting me up on a blind date!"

"It's not a blind date. You've met him. It's my brother Sean."

"The one that works for Scotland Yard?"Emily asked,and Mccormick nodded.

"That's the one. My wife and I will even double with you the first time. It'll be fun." Emily sighed, then said,

"Ok. He seems nice and he's great at his work. I'll go on one date and we'll see how it goes from there."

"That's all I ask. Give the man a chance.", agreed Mccormick.

"That's all I am agreeing to. You better not try and push it.", Emily replied. Mccormick held up his hands in an "I promise sign. They said goodbye, then, and the three inspectors said goodbye to the others before heading back to their hotel to allow Emily some time with her BAU family before she had to leave.

Chris and Will took Meg, Markayla, Henry, and the babies home, and Jessica took Jack. That left just the team members, minus Ronnie and Reid. Despite the two missing members, It was nice to be able to spend some time together as a team. About two hours later, everyone headed to their own homes. That night,as the BAU members went their separate ways, they were all thinking the same thing; Family. This included both old members and new; Both their immediate families and the wonderful, extended family they had surrounded themselves with. They all knew they could never hope for a better family then the one they were blessed with right now!
