JJ came up to my family's home on the 30th, having Henry stay with Will. I was worried about what my family would say about me, about us. I needed her there.

Seventeen years ago, Emily Prentiss was headed off to Yale when Aaron Hotchner was running her mother's security. The truth is, they had met, while Aaron was off-duty and by chance saw Emily at the bar, both of them blackout drunk when Emily started flirting with him. Emily was leaving for New Haven the next day, they would never see each other again. Perfect for meaningless sex. Nine months later, Emily gave birth to Bridget Prentiss, never thinking to tell Aaron. How would she even go about that? Bridget had asked about her father growing up, and Emily had told her more as she got older. Finally, when she's sixteen and flat-out asks who her father is, Emily's faced with the decision to tell her first about their one-night stand seventeen years ago, and second to reveal the recent rekindling of their relationship.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: child sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, mentions of violence Molly had been holding it in for so long. She was only ten. She broke down in front of her fifth-grade homeroom teacher when she stayed after school one day. The teacher called CPS, who found Emily. Molly loved her sister. Molly's mother died when Molly was two, and Brian - Emily and Molly's father - got back together with Elizabeth, Emily's mother. Elizabeth resented Molly, a reminder of Brian's past relationship, and hated the girl. Brian, in the same vein, saw Molly as an extension of her mother. Molly's childhood was spent as a plaything to fulfill her father's sexual needs. Emily, who had been in a relationship with JJ for two years at that point, took her sister as her dependent and did all she could to rehabilitate the child and give her the love she deserved those eight years.

Galina Karimova and Emily Prentiss worked together ages ago, at Interpol. During those roughly two years, Emily and Galina were best described as "colleagues with benefits". Around the time of Doyle, Galina also went undercover, and when she came out of that mission, Galina quit Interpol and joined the FBI. Just after Emily leaves the BAU, Galina joins, replacing the agent they missed. When Emily rejoins the BAU after Morgan leaves, she reconnects with Galina, and they hide their blossoming romantic relationship. started: june 6, 2021 finished: ongoing
