Last chapter! Here we go! I still don't own Criminal Minds
Two years later
Emily was nervous. She felt her body go numb as the music began. The looked down at her dress one last time, then began to move forward. When she entered the chapel, her eyes locked on the only man she had truly loved, Spencer Reid. As she walked down the aisle, her mind flashed back to one of the happiest moments of her life.
Emily had decided to visit Doyle's grave. She didn't even understand her own purpose for visiting the grave. Was it to find peace? Maybe the fact that she still felt responsible for what happened to Reid? The scars still remain visible, even though he tries to cover them up. She was wondering when the restlessness would end. All of a sudden, she heard the crunching of leaves.
"Did I scare you?"
"No, Spencer, you didn't. How did you know where to find me?"
"I'm a profiler, remember," he chuckled, "You aren't that hard to figure out."
She turned around to see him holding a blanket, a bottle of wine, and two glasses. They sat down and talked for hours, about anything, from books to previous cases. The sun was beginning to set. They got up and took one last look at the grave.
"We've been through a lot, haven't we Spencer?" Emily reflected.
"We have had our fair share of terrifying experiences," Reid began, "And I was hoping we could go through one more, one more terrifying and nerve-racking than anything we've experienced since working for the BAU."
She looked at him with a confused expression.
"Garcia in charge of our wedding planning."
She tried to compose her shocked expression, but she was pretty sure her ability to hide her emotions was failing her at this moment. He got down on one knee and pulled out a small box and opened it.
"Emily Prentiss, will you marry me?"
Words could not describe the emotions she was feeling. Tears were streaming down her face. She looked him in the eyes.
"Yes."
He pulled her into a hug and they stood there as the sun set beyond the horizon.
Her mind came back to reality when she realized she was almost down the aisle. She looked to one side and saw Garcia and JJ in their beautiful bridesmaid dresses, both having huge smiles on their faces. She glanced to the other side and saw Hotch, Rossi, and Morgan. She was surrounded by her family, about to marry the love of her life. Nothing could make this day more perfect. She stopped walking and faced Spencer. As the Justice of the Peace began to speak, her mind tuned out all of his words. A light from heaven seemed to shine on her soon-to-be-husband.
Before her, stood the man that went through torture at the hands of, who she considered to be, one of the most dangerous criminals of all time. The man who was willing to die, just so she could keep a promise she had made to herself and a boy he didn't even really know. The only man to love her for who she truly was. She didn't even need to hear for her cue from the Justice to know when it was time to say the two most important words of her life. She looked Spencer in the eye, and gathered up all of the emotion and meaning within her.
"I do."
