Epilogue

Emily was at the Rossis preparing to get married finally. She had their ten year old daughter and two year old son while her sixteen year old stepson was with his father. Amy was to be bridesmaid as were Anna, Georgia, Jade and Eleanor. Dylan was going to be page boy. Jack was one of Aaron's groomsmen.

Hotch and Emily was the last two to be married now. Beth and Dave had shortly married after Philip was born. Ashley and Dane had married a year ago close to Georgia's first birthday. They'd decided they wanted to wait till Dylan was old enough to be involved in the wedding.

Dylan was such a delightful little boy. He was a bundle of energy and his brother and sister doted on him now. Some weeks after he'd been born she'd tried to run away claiming they didn't love her anymore but after her parents had failed to convince her and Jack had talked to her she came home and ever since tried to help with her baby brother. Jack had always doted on him. Dylan in turn doted on them both.

Emily sat at the dressing table while Beth was doing her hair. They'd curled her hair and she'd already changed into her wedding dress. She'd bought her wedding dress six months before. It was white silk with a big skirt. There was a lace overlay with glitter on it. The bodice was white velvet with gold embroidery. It had short sleeves.

Having curled her hair Beth placed the tiara on her head and the white lace veil over the top. She felt like a princess and thought for once she looked beautiful. She was so happy she was finally getting married. After eleven years she was finally marrying the love of her life.

"You look beautiful," Beth said.

"Thank you," she smiled back with tears in her eyes. She was so happy to finally be getting married.

Beth then left with the bridesmaids. Beth was maid of honour in gratitude for her reuniting the couple. Dave was Aaron's best man as he was Aaron's best friend. It was only natural for him to be Aaron's best man as he got married today. They'd been best friends for so long.

Soon after her father came to pick her up and take her to the park where they were getting married. Her mother had managed to close down the area of the park they were marrying in. They'd wanted to marry at the bandstand in the local park ever since they started taking Dylan to the park.

Aaron was already there pacing around nervous about this marriage. Emily was the woman of his dreams and he was now marrying her. It would kill him to lose his Emily again and they had two children together now and she'd taken on his eldest son. Jack just leaned against the bandstand watching his dad pace around.

"Dad, everything's going to be fine," he said but he wouldn't listen. He just kept pacing nervously.

Suddenly he saw Beth and the BAU daughters gather at the back of the chairs and her father get out of the car. Dave soon joined him and he faced the end of the make-shift aisle. Beth started heading the young girls up the aisle then Emily's father walked her up the aisle to him.

They smiled at each other nervously as she walked down the aisle. She couldn't believe she was getting married today. After all these years she'd found her soul mate and was now going to marry him. Her father looked at her proudly. He couldn't believe his little girl was going to marry her perfect match today.

When she reached the altar Amy and Dylan went to the side with the other bridesmaids and Beth. Emily's father handed Aaron her hand. There was no other man he wanted her to marry. He'd loved him like a son ever since he met him three years ago. Today his daughter would share the same surname as her wonderful children. He loved every hair on his granddaughter and grandsons' heads even Jack who he'd taken on as a grandson right at the beginning.

"You look amazing," Aaron smiled at her as her father stepped back.

"Thanks. So do you," she smiled back.

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

They then turned to the man who would be marrying them as he started the ceremony.

"Friends and family, we are here to witness the joyous union of Emily and Aaron in matrimony," he said.

They smiled at each other so happy to be marrying finally. Everyone else was so happy for them and supported this marriage all the way. They were so happy the couple were finally getting married after two years.

Shortly after they made their vows and exchanged rings. They'd bought white gold rings with rings circling the ring six months ago. They'd gone ring shopping and these were the only ones they'd agreed on. They'd managed to find moments to be alone.

They smiled at each other with tears in their eyes then made their vows and put the rings on each other's fingers. They couldn't believe from this day forward they would be Mr and Mrs Hotchner. They couldn't see the world without each other and their children.

Soon after the registrar said, "With the power invested in me by the state of Virginia I now pronounce you man and wife."

He lifted up her veil and placed it over her tiara then took her head into his hands and kissed her while running his fingers through her hair and she had hers on his head while everyone cheered the marriage. They were all so incredibly happy for the newly married couple and their three children. Yes everything would turn out alright for Aaron and Emily Hotchner.
