** Two days later **

Rossi stared his phone like trying to make it ring with power of his mind. He was sitting on the Jet, on his way back home waiting a call from Hotch. Well, he hoped that he would call. It's been too long since he last time heard from him. He was very worried about his friend, who was almost like a son to him. They had heard anything about him since the funeral. Not more than few words. And he was starting to worry. His own advice started to sound so awful, that he didn't even by himself didn't believe it completely. "But the thing is, I know that when Hotch is ready to talk, we will be there. And he will need us calm. He need us to be there with him, but it's not time to that yet. " He said to himself to remind about staying calm. The same thing he said to calm JJ down two days ago.

" Hey. " Garcia sat in front of him. " You look very concentrated. What are you thinking? " She asked from the man who was just looking the clouds bellow them. " Is it about the case? I know it was a hard one, but just try to get it out of your head. Please. Don't beat yourself up for this. There were nothing you could have done. You know that right ? "

Everything went okay, until they went to arrest the UnSub. A 34 years old Percy Holmes. He had a hostage on his apartment. And he shot her, and himself right after that. There really was nothing he could have done, but that woman's face stuck in her head.

" Yeah, Kitten. I know. But that's not the thing. " Rossi turned to look at her, sighing. " It's Hotch. I'm worried about him. "

" I know. Me too. " Garcia said quietly. " I miss him. What should we do? Because we have to do something. I can't just sit here and see him suffer. Not anymore. We tried it on your way, now it's my turn to try out something. " Garcia said.

" I know. "

" Would you really break his door down? " Garcia asked with a little sparkle on her eye. Dave looked at his questioningly. " I mean, just in case. Hey, Derek! "

" Yeah? " Morgan voice echoed from the other side of the jet. " What? " He walked towards them.

" Are you ready to kick your boss' door in later today? For our plan B? " Garcia asked smirking.

Morgan smiled leaning to the chair. " I thought you'd never ask. "

" Hold your horses guys. Before you plan anything, let's just try that talking part, okay? " Rossi said with a little , worried, smile on his face.

** 20 minutes later **

The jet has just landed, and everyone were on their way back to BAU, all on their own thoughts and silent and tired.

" I'm just going to leave my stuff, and go then straight home. I miss my boys. " JJ said , smiling tiredly.

" Same here. " Alex said. "

" Anyone hungry? I could make something today. I mean I'm starving, and I'd really not care to eat alone. " Rossi said, caring his go bag and briefcase on his other hand. " But before I really have to try to talk to Hotch. "

" I'm in. " They all agreed.

Soon the elevator was on the sixth floor.

" Hey guys. There's someone on the conference room. " Reid said looking inside through the windows of the large conference room of theirs. They all went to the conference room, and saw someone they didn't expect to see.

" Hotch! " Garcia shouted and ran towards him her arms widely open ready to get his hug she's needed for days. " Hey. " She said softly to him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Few tears started to flow on her cheeks. " It's so damn good to see you. " She whispered to his ear.

" How are you? " Rossi asked.

Garcia pulled off of the hug, wiping first the tears on her own cheeks then weakly smiling to him, she wiped also that one on his cheek away.

" I have absolutely no idea. I'm managing, I guess. I'm kinda scared. " Hotch said quietly eyeing his team, his friends, his family.

" I'm so sorry. " Blake gasped.

" Alex. It's okay. Really." Aaron said softly to her. It was so good to see them. He had missed them, he had needed them. But he was too blind to see that they were always there for him.

" Guys… " He tried to talk. He's been thinking for almost two days what to say to them when he sees them next time, but he still doesn't know. It feels like nothing's enough. " I'm sorry if I've been a little… "

" Aaron. Don't. You don't have to. " Rossi said to him, giving him this convincing little smile.

JJ pushed through behind Rossi's and Morgan's backs which were blocking her way to him. " Aaron. " She gasped quietly, and ran to the other side of the conference room to him.

" There's the soldier of mine. " He gave her a little smile. But that made her laugh through her tears.

" Always. " She said, not sure if those words ever came out, and then wrapped her arms around Hotch neck. " Always. " She whispered to his ear, and she was not going to let go now. Others looked at them a little confused, not getting those few words between Hotch and JJ which made her cry, but they were extremely happy at the same time.

" Shh.. it's okay Jeyje. " He whispered when she cried silently to his shoulder.

It was more than good to see him, because she was pretty sure that he was going to give up. " I knew you would be curious enough to read it. " She laughed through her tears.

" Well, you know me. " He said. " Thank you. " He looked at her, then turning his head back to others. " For all of you. For everything. " He saw how JJ was opening her mouth to talk, but he didn't let her even begin. " Before you say anything. No, I do have to thank you. Because if there were no you, I would have never came out of that apartment. I was ready to give up. I really was. But you reminded me that it would not be worth it. That Jack…" He went quiet. It was hard for him to talk about it. And he knew that it will always be hard to talk about him. He let out a little sigh. " You reminded me that it would not be what Jack would have wanted me to do. " He said.

They all looked at him, trying to get inside his head. He looked awful. He had bags under his eyes, it looked like he hasn't slept at all for days. He also looked like he had lost some weight during those two weeks he spent alone.

And always so neat, professional and charming man who worked at the BAU every day, was right opposite of the man who was standing at the conference room at the moment. Always so calm and strong man was weak, and a wreck. So broken.

A man who usually wears an expensive suit and tie was wearing black shirt and jeans, whit his hair a little messy.

" Aaron. You don't have to be here, you know. Just take some time, as much as you need. We're not expecting you to just jump out of this. It takes time. You, if someone should know that. But you don't have to do this alone. We're here for you. " Rossi said warmly to his friend. To a man who was like a son to him.

" Like one wise man told me once after Maeve's death. " It's is going to take time. Don't be so hard on yourself, because it is not doing anything good, and because there was nothing you could have done nothing to change what happened. You just can't. Just let yourself grief, give yourself time. Because we're here for you, and we will always be here. " Reid said quoting Hotch himself. " I think it's your time to take your own advice. "

Every ending offers you a way to move on. But it's your decision
will you move on.
The loss of someone you deeply loved is devastating.
But the thing about love is that you want each other to be happy.
No matter where you together or not.
The person you love, will always be the part of your life, stealing the part of your heart
forever.
And when it's your time to leave this world, and move towards the light, your heart will be in one piece again, and you will be together.
Happy.

So here it is. It's now complete. The story is nice to end with your own quote. I hope you enjoyed. And thank you so much for all the reviews I got. I really appreciate every single one of them. It's been long, and sad journey again.
Thank you for sticking up with me. I know it took awhile to update once in awhile.
But just tell we what you thought about the whole story, about everything.

And a little announcement for everyone who is going to still stick up with me, read my stories and everything. I have few stories already on my mind. As soon as I've done with the story of mine called ' I'm Sorry ' I'm going to start a new series. So.. till then.
