After discovering that Kyle Murphy wasn't kidnapped, it came to light it was just a freak accident. Kyle wet the bed and his brother got so mad and pushed him. Kyle ended up hitting his head and the ladder, he didn't wake up. The parents were protecting a sociopath and didn't know it. The team agreed that since it was so later they were going to get dinner and head to the nearest hotel.

Emily and JJ had found a small Chinese place down the street from a hotel. Everyone sat around a big table. You listen to everyone discussing their views on the cases. Watching Spencer struggle with chopsticks made this whole day better. After laughing at Spencer for having to ask the waitress for a fork your eyes started to get heavy. You put your chopstick down and leaned back in your chair.

"Your that tired?" Emily watched you sink into your chair.

"Not enough coffee in the world can keep me awake right now." You hang your head over the chair.

"Well, you seem well-rested," Derek said, it wasn't towards you but it sound was coming in your direction.

You pick your head up and see Derek was looking at Aaron, who just so happened to be sitting next to you. Your eyes flicker from Derek to Aaron and back.

"What are you talking about?" He asked,

"I'm talking about the fact that you're the only one that stayed behind when we went out. Assuming you stayed at the office very late, shouldn't you be looking more tired then

Y/N?" Derek said as he waved his chopstick around.

You hated to admit it but he had a point. He was able to wake up at any hour and look as though he had been sleeping for 8 hours. Granted he would have at least 3 cups of coffee before leaving the house but still. You watched as Aarons's face fell slightly, not a lot for the team to notice though. You folded your lips together trying not to laugh, you knew exactly where this was going so sat back and watched.

"Ok, and what if I didn't stay?" He argued.

"Assuming you left after we did and estimating the amount of time it would take for you to get to the home that would put it around the time she got the phone call that got her to leave," Spencer spoke up. "Then taking into account how fast it would take her to get to get there and knowing the time she goes to bed-" You cut him off.

"Wait, why do you know the time I go to sleep?" You asked and sat up.

"That's what's concerning you." Aaron gives you a sideways look.

"Well yeah. I don't find it weird that he knows how long it takes me to get home, because I know everyone to get home." You shrugged.

"That is kind of weird, just so you know," Emily said.

"Sorry." You and Spencer said at the same time.

"Well, that's not the point." JJ finally chimed in. You looked around at everyone's face. They were all smiling.

"How long have you guys known?" You rest your hand on Aaron's leg.

"It's only been like 2 weeks," JJ said. "You guys were hugging a little too long when we got you and Emily out of the church.' JJ explained.

"That's when I found out, that's not fair," Emily whined like a 5-year-old.

"You knew?!" JJ swung her head to look at Emily. Emily's eyes widened when she realized what she had said.

"No." She strung out the word. JJ backhanded her arm. "Rossi's known for like months." Emily pointed across the table. JJ's jaw dropped.

"I know a lot of things, I don't want to know them but I do." Rossi threw his hands up and you all laughed.

"We were going to say something, we had a plan and everything, but the time was never right." You tried to explain. Everyone nodded along with understanding, something wasn't right. At that moment everyone had the same reaction.

"Penelope." You threw your face in your hands and felt Aaron put his hand on your back. "She's gonna kill me." Your voice was muffled by your hand but everyone still heard you.

"No, she's not." He rubbed circles on your back, you let your hand hang and look up to him.

"Have you met Penelope?" You asked sarcastically. You let out a nervous laugh.

"Well when we get back home, I say we have a little get-together at Rossi's to tell her," Emily said and everyone looked over at Rossi.

"I won't have it any other way," Rossi said.

~~~~~

When walking into the hotel room you kicked off your shoes and dropped your bag on the floor. Aaron had already taken off his jacket quickly went to remove the tie, his back was to you when you walked up to him.

"This is the first time I don't have to sneak into your room to see you." You walk up to Aaron and wrap your arms around him and smoosh your face into his back.

"Mhm." He slipped the tie over his head. He turned around and cupped your cheeks. He tilted your head up to pull you into a kiss. "What are we gonna do with our new found freedom?" He asked.

"Finally let me take in how warm you are." Your tighten your grip around him.

"It's cause of the layers I have to have on." He gestured to his shirt and his jacket.

"Well if it's worth anything, I think you look really good I them." You slightly bit your lower lip.

"Oh do you?" He asked.

"Mhm. I enjoy them even more now because I know what's under them." You had a huge grin across your face.

He opened his mouth to say something when you released him from your grip. You could feel his eye watch you as you made your way to the bathroom.

As you turned on the hot water you thought about the event that had happened that night. The team knew and it felt good. No more hiding. Even though they found out the way you didn't want them to, it was still good they knew. They all seemed happy for you two. Well almost all of them.

~~~~~

The next morning you woke up to an empty bed. You rub your eyes and sit up fo see the door of the bathroom cracked open. You could here the shower running. You swing your legs off the bed and follow the steam into the bathroom.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" You said.

"Well good morning." Aaron said through the shower curtain.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" You repeated.

"Because we're not leaving till later, and you were awake for 20 hours after only getting 4 hours of sleep." He poked his head out from the shower.

"Well so did you." That was the best you could come up with.

"Well I'm used to it, by the looks of it...you aren't." He shut off the water. When he came out he wrapped a towel around his lower half. You glared at him as he walked over to you.

When he reached you he kissed your forehead. "Get ready so we can go home." He walked out and closed the door.

You put in minimal effort to getting ready. After having this case everyone had a day off, that day would be used for Rossi house party. He had sent out a formal message to everyone with the time and dress code, semi-formal of course.

"Well you look a lot better." JJ said once you stepped out of your room.

"Thanks." You laughed and walked with her and Emily to the elevator.

"You and boss man have another long night?" Derek asked as he walked up. He point to you hair and glasses.

Today you hair was more put together, it covered the marks on your neck so you didn't have to wear the stupid scarf. You still had your glass, it was easier then putting contacts in. From that moment on you told yourself to where them more.

As for the rest of you outfit it was a long-sleeve shirt and black slacks and your boots. Normal for the most part.

"No just didn't feel like putting effort in today." You tell him and hear footsteps behind you. You turn and see it was the rest of the guys. Aaron is standing directly behind you. You quickly look at him up and down before turn back to Derek.

He had a smirk on his face, he watched the whole action. You roll your eyes and look straight forward. Everyone sat in silence. You laugh to yourself. The elevator dinged and you all step it. All that was heard was the shuffle of cloths and bags.

"Ok you guys need to say something." You said. You stood in the corner and watched as the all face you.

"What do you want us to say?" JJ asked.

"Literally anything."

"Well all the stuff I wanna ask will have to wait until he's not here." JJ nodded her head to Aaron who was now standing in front of you. You fight back a smile and nodded along.

Aaron was only going to talk to Rossi and that was common knowledge. That left you with everyone else. Except you didn't think Spencer cared for the details on your relationship. Then Morgan didn't want the explicit details.

It was just the girls, that you could handle. You were mostly close with Emily and Derek, but you loved everyone. Derek was then person you could talk about anything with. But when you first joined the team you and Emily hit it off really well. Ever since then they were your people. Now you have Aaron in the mix, it was awesome.

You all had decided it would only make sense to have Emily, JJ, Derek and you in one car. You sat in the back with JJ as Derek drove.

JJ went on and on about how she had put it together. For not being a profiler she noticed a lot of small details. Like how you and Aaron would subconsciously look up and each other to make sure the other was ok.

"He watched you like a hawk when you were in the hospital." She said.

"That was nothing compared to how he was when we got home. At least at the hospital he let me move at my own free will." The last part you said mostly to yourself.

"You seem very happy." JJ said and put her hand on yours.

"I am." You had a wide smile.

Derek stopped the car in front of the jet. Emily haven't really said anything when you all sat down. She hadn't said anything the whole car ride. She just watched as you talk endless about your boyfriend.

Halfway through the flight you had changed to a different topic. You and Emily listened as Derek and JJ talked about past cases. That somehow lead into the amount of time Derek had gotten hurt.

The conversation came to a stop when there was a very loud snore come from the front of the plane. You look out into the aisle and see Aaron fast asleep with an open file in front of him.

"Able to stay up with 4 hours of sleep my ass." You said and heard them laugh.

"Does he normally sore that loud?" Derek asked.

"Not really." You stood and walked over to him.

The problem became clear when you got closer. His head was hanging on top of his shoulder. You had noticed his head wasn't up right he snore. The more it hung the louder it got.

You touch your finger to his temple and push his head up right. Once his head was on the back of the seat the snoring stopped. You smiled at the work you had done and moved back to your seat. As you sat down you saw the surprise look and JJ and Dereks face.

"What?" You asked.

"How did you know to do that?" JJ asked.

"Oh come on, you can't tell me you don't know how to stop Will from snoring."

"I don't. I roll him over but it doesn't stop."

"Oh." You thought it was just something people knew how to do. You looked to Emily for conformation.

"I don't have a boyfriend, so I wouldn't know." You all look to Derek.

"Savannah doesn't snore." He said. You let out a breath.

"Well, I've slept next to him enough times to know." You shrugged.

"It's cute." Emily said. She could see how tense you had gotten. You let your shoulder slump.

~~~~~

It was barely noon when the plane touched down. You had spent the other half of your day with Aaron and Jack. You had gone to the park and went for ice cream.

The day seemed like it by too fast, cause next thing your getting ready to go to Rossi's.

You had pulled out one of your old cocktail dresses from the back of your closet. It was a dark shade of red and still fit like a glove.

"Oh your killing me." Aaron stood behind you. He wrapped his arms around you. You put in your arms on top of his. You learned forward as best as you could so you could finish putting on your lipstick.

"You'll be ok." You looked at him in the mirror.

"You look amazing." He dipped his head down and placed a kiss on you neck.

"You don't look half back yourself."

You tilt your head so he had more room. He pulls you closer to him. You haven't realized how tall he was until you hand to extend you arm to reach the back of his neck.

You turn around so his lips meet yours. He stepped forward so you were pinned to the counter. You let out a soft moan when counter comes into contact. He moved to lift you onto the surface. Before he had a chance you push him off.

"I already have to fix my lipstick, let's stop before I have to change my dress." You raised an eyes brow.

"Ok." He smiled and kissed you one more time before walking out. Turning to face the mirror you saw that you lipstick hadn't smudged a lot.

When you walk out to the living you room both Aaron and Jack are watch TV. They were wearing matching button ups.

"You guys look very handsome." You said. Jack eyes didn't leave the TV which was expected. Aaron stood for the couch and walked over to you. You smiled and he kissed you again.

"You ready to go buddy?" He turned to Jack. Jack laughed a the TV. Aaron walked over and turned it off, Jack look disappointing at his father action. You move to put you heels on.

~~~~~

As you pulled up to Rossi house, sorry mansion. Everyone car was there. Evening including Penelope. She would never turn down family time. You could feel yourself start to but the inside of your lip.

"Are you ok?" Aaron asked.

"My heart beats are getting faster and I don't know why." You looked out the window.

"Your nervous." He said. You exhale trying to relax yourself. He watches you for another minute.

The walk to the front door felt so long. Before you had a chance to knock Rossi opened the door.

"Welcome!" He throws his arms around you.

"Hello to you too." You walk further into the house. You watch has Jack runs past you go Henry. Everyone was scattered in the living room and the kitchen.

Derek had pulled Will away to have some conversation about sorts. The girls had stolen Savannah from Derek. They spotted you and waved you over. You walked over and sat next to Emily.

"You look very lovely tonight." Penelope said and you gave her a nice smile.

JJ and Emily looked over at you wondering with you were gonna drop the bomb. You and Aaron had talked about it on the car ride there. Before dinner, after Rossi makes his toast. You were going to say what you had planned to say. Hopefully.

You haven't really been paying attention to the conversation they were having. Something about Penelope finding a new guy. You feel a cold glass tap your arm. You look at see it was Rossi handing you a wine glass.

"Aaron asked me to bring this to you, and there's more if you need it." He whispered to you.

"Thank you." You took the glass from his hand. You look up and see Aaron was watching. You wink at him and a smirk creeps up. You try not to smile as you listen back into the conversation.

"He wasn't a good guy anyway." Emily said. Penelope nodded along visibly hurt.

"Ok I'm gonna say something you not gonna like it, your gonna be mad no one told you but it needs to be said." Emily and JJ exchanged glances. "No one really liked him, we wanted to see you happy so we dealt with it." You said bluntly. Emily and JJ bodies relaxed. Penelope expression haven't changed.

"Well maybe if you said something, I wouldn't have to go through this." She was right and you all knew it. You guys were supposed to protect each other.

"The only person you would've listened to was Derek, and he didn't have the heart to say it." JJ said.

In response she threw back the rest of her drink. Maybe her being tipsy could make tonight easier. You reached out for her glass silently offering to refill it. You took hers and Emily back the kitchen.

"You drink scotch now?" Derek walked up to you.

"It's for Emily." You laughed.

"That's makes sense." He paused. "It's the gay in her." You stopped in your tracks.

"You did not just say that."

"Yes I did."

"I thought I was the only one who knew." You whispered.

"Come on Sugar, I've been Emily partner for 4 years now. Of course I know." He smiled big.

"How'd you find out?" You asked.

"She never talked about a guy." He stepped a little closer so only you could hear. "And she seems to take special interest in JJ when she's wearing her black dress."

"She sure does."

"How'd your find out?" He asked.

"She called me one very late night, I didn't answer but when I woke up there was a voicemail from her saying how JJ was the one she always wanted. The next day I asked her about it and she explained." You poured Penelope's drink.

"She also told me that she hated seeing her and Will together but as long as JJ's happy, she's happy." You finished.

"We need to set her up." Derek said.

"I've tried, but maybe you can." You walked passed him back to the girls.

They were still talking about Kevin and the things they didn't like. Before you had a chance to point out the things you didn't like Rossi said it was time to eat. Fuck.

You all sat at a very large round table. There was pasta and bread scattered across the table. You spot Aaron on the other side. You move past everyone to find a seat next to him.

"You ready?" He asked and ran his hand up and down your leg. You nod.

Rossi stood from the other side of Aaron. "I just wanted to say thank you all for coming even though to was a last minute invitation."

"Who could say no to a home-cooked meal?" Derek asked.

"Only the crazy." Everyone laughed. "But there is a reason we are all gathered here today." Rossi looked over to you and you stood.

"I have an announcement, well most of you already know-"

"Are you pregnant?" Penelope interrupted.

"No no no no." You lost your train of thought. But soon regain it when Aaron hand was in your lower back. Give you that extra push you needed. "It not very significant anymore because most of you already know but... Aaron and I have been in a relationship for 6 months."
