Dr Tara Lewis could not contain her excitement, she almost giggled at the feeling of the frantic butterflies in the pit of her stomach. She worked her entire life to get here, in the Behavioural analysis unit, Tara had spent her entire career up to this point studying serial killers' every move trying to understand their sick and twisted minds and now she was finally going to help catch them
Within a second the elevator doors peeled open to reveal the gateway to her dreams, as the short-haired brunette picked up her bag from the ground, she marched her way to the double glass doors, stopping before she opened them.
“I got this”. She reminded herself before taking one last deep breath before entering.
She was met with an extremely large room, with desks placed in line with one another, one being home to a lanky brunette man, Tara didn't need to see the man to know who he was it was Dr Spencer Reid. One of the smartest doctors in the FBI and one of Taras's role models on the job.
“Umm Sorry but are you looking for someone?”
Lewis was snapped out of her daze and met with the sight of a beautiful blonde woman roughly the same height as her holding her badge out for Tara to see.
“I'm SSA Jareau, if you're looking for anyone or anything I'm here to help”. The woman said with a friendly smile on her face.
“Hi, I'm Doctor Tara Lewis, I'm here because it's my first day on the job”.
“Oh! You're the new agent, taking over from Agent Seaver, Hotch's office is the first door once you go up those little stairs over there” The blonde agent informed pointing at the little stairs at the back of the room.
“Oh thank you agent Jareau”.
“Please call me JJ, Everyone else does and you are part of the team now,” Jj said walking away leaving Tara once again standing there alone before she strolled her way to the office up the stairs.
“Agent Hotchner?” Tara questioned as she sheepishly knocked on the large wooden door.
“How many times do I have to tell you to call me Hotch?” The profiler said standing up and pushing his chair into the desk before making his way over to the smaller woman.
“I think it's time you meet the team”
Tara was led down a large hallway that seemed like it would never end, She couldn't explain why she was this nervous but maybe that's why she was nervous, she couldn't explain and see human behaviour like these guys could. I guess she would have to learn.
Once they finally reached the little room Tara was met with a bunch of eyes staring at her, two pairs she instantly recognised: Dr Reids and JJ who she has met earlier, the other two she didn't know.
“Team, this is doctor lewis our newest agent”
Tara had not even a chance to speak when a very colourful woman came jogging over in her neon pink platform shoes, Tara loved her already.
“Lewis, This is Penelope Garcia our technical analyst” Hotch stated nodding his head toward the woman in front of them.
“Pleasure to meet you, Penelope” Tara greeted holding her hand out for the blonde hair woman to shake.
“The pleasure is all mine” The woman beamed, taking Lewis's hand and pulling her into a hug.
“Welcome to the family” Penelope whispered in her ear before breaking the hug, only to be met with a scold from Hotch.
Hotch didn't reply instead he just began introducing the next member of the team.
“Dr Reid, the smartest doctor the FBI has ever known” Tara finished for him staring adoringly at the lanky brunette man who just uncomfortably fixed his satchel over his shoulder.
“Nice to meet you, Dr Lewis,” The man said his vowels extended in his speech before walking over and sitting in the front seat.
“Nice to see you again Tara,” Jj said taking a seat beside Reid.
“And this is SSA Derek Morgan,” Hotch said pointing at the taller bald man who emerged from the back of the room.
“Tara Lewis”. Derek said grabbing Sara's hand and bringing it up to his lips giving it a quick kiss.
“Be careful or Penelope will hit you with her new heels Morgan”. JJ quipped from her chair when the room burst out laughing, Tara didn't quite get the joke but she knew she would soon, eventually.
Once everyone sat in their seats, Penelope began briefing the new leads they had on the case the team of profilers had been working on for quite a while now, luckily Hotch had briefed Tara a few days before so the doctor was all caught up.
A few minutes into bouncing theories, two more agents round the corner. One petite older man is much older than any of the other team members and the other... The other.
Tara felt a lump form in her throat as the two just stared at each other for what felt like hours. Amelie. She's here. Why is she here?
“Dave, perfect timing, Agent Lewis this is SSA David Rossi, Rossi. This is the new agent I was telling you about”
“Ah yes, the car collector, nice to meet ya kid”. Rossi said shaking Taras's sweaty hand.
“Ni-Nice to meet you too”. Hotch looked visibly confused at Tara's sudden change in demeanour, but then again she had an excuse.
“Ame-” Tara says under her breath starting at the brunette standing in front of her. Damn God she hasn't changed at all, her facial features are the same the only thing different is her hair colour is significantly different, at first it threw her off but she's sure it's her, the love of her life.
“Emily Prentiss” The older woman cut Tara off before rushing past her and sitting down next to Hotch.
Lewis couldn't focus on the rest of the case instead she was too focused on the intoxicating woman in front of her and the memories that came with her.
The two lovers sat on the roof of the apartment complex, Amelie having set LED Fairy lights all around the edges, creating a perfect romantic scene.
“Amelie, you didn't have to do all of this” Tara said reaching over to touch her girlfriend's cheek. God, she can't remember a time when she was this happy, little did she know... Neither could ‘Amelie.
“I didn't have to but I wanted to because you deserve it Tara Lewis you deserve the world”. Emily confessed closing the gap between the two.
The kiss was soft, and tender. Just like their kisses always we're. So full of passion and love.
“I love you Amelie” Tara whispered, their foreheads leaning against each other.
“I love you too Tara”. Emily said standing up and brushing her palms on the blue and white patterned dress she was wearing at dinner earlier before holding her hand out for Tara to use to get up.
“Now let's go home” Emily smirked kissing Tara, this time quicker, and lustier. Tara grabbed Emily's hand laughing at Amelie's eagerness to get home, while also questioning how she got so good damn lucky.
The memory almost brings a tear to Taras's eye as she zoned out of the conversation happening in front of her. That was the last time she had ever heard from Amelie, or now Emily Prentiss. Tara didn't care what lengths she had to go to she was going to find out what was going on because Tara was smart and she had been here before surprisingly. This was going to put a strain on her work she had worked too hard to get this job, and Tara Lewis was not going to lose it to any woman. Even if that woman is her whole reason for still being here...
That was the last thing Tara heard before everyone began to pack up their files and leave the room. Within a second it was just Emily and Tara left in the room, both just staring intensely at one another from opposite sides of the table. Emily eventually took off her jacket to reveal a sleeveless red top, folding her arms across her chest.
After the two were positive everyone left. Emily decided to break the silence, this time it was only in French.
“Je suppose que tu veux parler de choses” (I assume you want to talk about things) Emily muttered her French accent returning flawlessly after all these years.
“Je ne veux pas parler, je veux des réponses Amélie ou devrais-je dire Emily” (I dont want to talk, I want answers Ameile, or should i say Emily?) Tara snapped back.
“Posez vos questions Tara” (ask your questions tara)
“Pourquoi as-tu menti” (why did you lie?)
“j'ai eu des commandes” (I had orders)
“Pourquoi m'as-tu quitté ce matin” (Why did you leave me that morning?)
“ je devais revenir ici Tara” (I had to come back here Tara)
“m'as-tu déjà aimé Emily?” ( did you ever love me Emily)
“oui, Tara, crois-moi, mais j'aime aussi ce travail et honnêtement, j'aimais ce travail bien avant de t'aimer, alors quand j'ai eu le choix, j'ai dû prendre le travail.” (Yes Tara, believe me, I did, but I also love this job and honestly, I loved this job long before I loved you so when given the choice, I had to take the job)
Emily took a few steps forward grasping her ex-lover's cheeks in her hands, wiping the single tear that fell, savouring the feeling of Taras's dark skin in her hands. After all, it was the last time she would ever feel it, even though it would kill her... She had to.
“je t'aime Tara, je t'aime toujours et je t'aimerai toujours.. je promets et peut-être dans un univers foutu.. je ne t'ai pas menti et nous vivons heureux pour toujours mais dans cet univers… nous sommes juste censés être des collègues alors au revoir Tara”
(i love you Tara, i always have and I always
will.. i promise and maybe in some fucked up
universe.. i didn't lie to you and we live
happily ever after but in this universe... we are just meant to be collogues so goodbye Tara)
Emily leaned up kissing Taras lips one last time before packing her bag and heading for the door.
“See you on the jet Dr lewis”
Tara leaned up to wipe the tears falling from her face, her eyes glued to where Emily had last walked from.
As Emily walked out of the office and onto the jet she was met with the smile of her long-term friend Spencer.
“Hey you okay Emily?” Reid questioned as the pair climbed onto the jet.
She was lying and Reid knew it, in fact, Reid knew something was off between Lewis and Prentiss the minute Emily stepped into the room, hence why Reid stayed back at the round table room door. Reid knew how much they cared for each other and luckily for the pair.
