Just Like A Family

CHAPTER 7

Y/N POV:

There wasn't much I had left to pack at my fathers. I unpacked my summer stuff and packed up all my winter stuff. It was easier now that I had an actual suitcase rather than just my duffle bag. Looking around at the clothes I was planning to bring I realized I needed another small bag.

"Hey Dad? Do we have another small suitcase or duffle bag I can borrow? I'm running out of space already." I yell down the hallway into the kitchen. His house was warm. The inside was painted gray with dark floors. My room was painted the same way it's been since we moved in. 3 walls of purple and 1 wall of pink with dark wood furniture. It felt like home but not fully.

His heavy footfalls echo around the house and I can hear him digging for another bag. I pull some stuff out of the suitcase knowing it's overweight and I don't feel like getting charged extra for it.

"Here. I hope this will work. I still can't believe you're giving up BAU for NSA Switzerland. I know how much you wanted that post at Quantico." He said handing you a smaller suitcase that could probably fit overhead. You realized you never told him the real reasoning behind you leaving and thought now was a bad time to bring it up.

"I just wanted to explore and do something knew. I was getting comfortable at the BAU and it was day in and day out hunting serial killers, rapists, and other criminals. NSA is going to be mostly intelligence gathering for me. It's gonna be a change in pace too." You point out, folding your long sleeve shirts to put away. The alarm on your phone buzzes reminding you of your train in 1 hour.

"I'm proud of you, you know that right?"

"I know dad. I'm doing this for me."

He walks over with open arms, wrapping me into a tight embrace, letting go to let me finish packing. After a few minutes I lug both suitcases, my duffle bag and my backpack down the hall and out to the car. They're driving me to the airport instead because I have too many bags and it would suck trying to get them all on a train. I pull my phone out cancelling my seat on the train, swiping to my airline stub and opening the website for early check in. Typing out all my information I submit my check in so that when I get there all I have to do is check my bags and go through security and get on the plane. Easy enough right ?
