Where it all began

At the Pool

(Rossi's POV)

"Excellant." I said to my pasta as it simmered in the pan. Alex walked up and hugged me from behind.

"Are you talking to your pasta again?" She said with a laugh.

"Maybe." I said drawing out the word. She laughed again. I personally thought she had a very beautiful laugh. That could be 'cause we were dating but that's alright. Now back to my beautiful pasta.

"Can you bring me the shaker cheese?" I asked Alex as I poured the pasta in a giant serving bowl. She handed me the shaker cheese. The team will be here soon and although we will all be extremely sober for that fact that all the ladies are pregnant I'm sure a lot of shenanigans will go down. Especially since we will all be swimming. I heard the doorbell of my beautiful mansion ring.

"I'll get it Alex called as she walked towards the door. I really did love her. Even more then my other three wives. Not that she's my wife. Yet.

"It's Derek and Elle. She yelled from the door."

I went over to the door and shook Morgan's hand and then Elle waddled over and wrapped her arms around my neck for a hug leaning close to my ear so only I could hear what she was going to say.

"Things are better. I'm back at therapy. I attribute that to you. Morgan is aware and you can tell Alex but try and not broadcast it to the entire team. I don't want them to think any less of me." I nodded my head as we broke from the hug and she started small talk with Alex as if nothing had happened. Derek fell in line walking beside me and whispered, "Therapy?" He said motioning to what Elle had whispered. I nodded my head. The women of our lives were already back in the kitchen when Derek stopped and turned to face me.

"You know I love her and I'd do anything to make her happy, but she thinks of you as a father and she really needs you so try and keep in contact with her. I feel like she's not telling me everything and she needs to someone." He said thoughtfully.

"I'll keep in touch with her Morgan and if we went by thoughts I have six kids one on the way and a needy younger brother." Morgan laughed and we walked into the kitchen. We all sat at the table and waited for everyone to arrive. Next was Penelope with Kevin. We never see much of Kevin and often wonder if they are even together anymore. After that was Aaron with Emily and Jack who proudly announced that he could now swim without floaties. Everyone set their swimming bags by the back door and sat at the table. Spencer notified me to start eating because they were going to be a half an hour late. We were all about halfway finished when Spencer and JJ showed up with a sleeping Henry.

"Were you seriously late to show up to this beautiful party with your wonderful family just because Henry was sleeping?" Garcia announced exasperated.

"Kind of..." Said Spencer. "We thought he would wake up awhile ago." Proclaimed JJ. Everyone laughed.

"Well put him on the couch until he wakes up." I see Aaron sitting at the table laughing with Emily and Jack. I haven't seen him the happy since Haley and I haven't seen him this emotionally vulnerable since he first joined the BAU. Back then he was a lot like Spencer. Besides the genius part of course. He was quite innocent considering his childhood. He was also very adamant to talk about his past but when he finally did it seemed like a weight was lifted off of him. That was until late '99 when his personality completely changed and he became the hardass we know and love today. Henry was asleep peacefully on the couch and everyone was at the table hysterically laughing.

"Swimming?" I questioned after everyone had finished eating. The men nodded and all the women looked quite questionable of the idea.

"I'll put my swimsuit on but I'm not going in." Proclaimed Emily. JJ and Elle agreed with her statement when they got up to change Aaron, Spencer and Derek all exchanged a look that very clearly said, "We'll see about that." They we all wearing their swim trunks as pants, including myself. Aaron and Spencer gave me a laugh with that though because they were both wearing black swim trunks, white button downs, suit jackets and ties with socks and dress shoes. Morgan was a normal human being and had on his swim trunks with a t-shirt and flip-flops. Kevin left. Well the women kind of pushed him away for being too boring. The women came back in their swimsuits. Elle in her signature green two piece and JJ and Emily in matching plain blue one-pieces. Penelope wore a one piece with a frilly pink skirt attached and unicorns all over the body of it. I laughed to myself about that. I personally was wearing my custom made spaghetti patterned swim trunks. Alex came back into the kitchen wearing a stunning red one piece swimsuit. I had seen it many times. I had seen all of the clothes she owned many times but I always thought she was beautiful. As if on cue all of the other men and hugged our girlfriends from behind Aaron mischievously tickling Emily. That led Spencer to do the same to JJ. Morgan almost attempted it when Elle grabbed his wrist and twisted around to face him telling him, "Don't even try it." before she tickled him. Alex and I stood back and watched all of our more-youthful-then-us teammates.

A few moments later everyone was outside. Morgan and Spencer were swimming with Penelope. Alex and Elle were sitting on the edge of the pool. Jack was on Spencer's back. Henry much to everyone's surprise was still sleeping. For a second I couldn't find Emily and Aaron, then I saw them standing beside a table.

"Emily I can't, no one wants to see my ugly scars." Aaron with a slight dent in the guard he always put up against us.

"Aaron, I'm not letting you swim in a dress shirt. That can't be comfortable I saw you last time we were here." She replied playing with his hair.

"Emily, it's fine. I don't need to be comfortable." Another piece of his barrier chipped away with this statement.

"I'll take if off you myself." She said boldly.

"You won't." Aaron said. I personally knew she wasn't kidding.

"Oh but I will." She said as she began to unbutton his dress shirt. He tried to argue with her until he eventually gave up and stood uncomfortably at the front of the pool as she sat down next to Alex. I jumped in the pool and swam around splashing everyone. This started an entire splashing war in which Morgan pulled Elle in the pool while she screamed that he would pay for this. Aaron followed suit with Emily and she screamed and yelled, "I did not build your confidence for this!"

Sorry for ending it here. I have to leave to babysit and wanted to update. There will be a part 2 to this tmrw.
