Ashley's POV~

"Your fans are great, Joey." I whispered.

"I know. They're the best." Joey nodded. I smiled and leaned down to kiss his cheek.

I watched as a few fans smiled at us. Some of them chanted out to us, saying that we were goals and whatever.

As the meet and greet was nearing towards an end, the atmosphere got really tense. I didn't know how to exactly explain it. Like it was awkward and heavy. Joey shifted uncomfortably in his seat as another fan came to him. He quickly signed her things and listened to her.

The last fan came to us. They chatted with them and signed their things as always.

"Joey, I'll be right back." I stated, unsurely.

"Okay, be careful. I love you." He smiled.

"I love you too." I whispered, kissing him quickly. I turned to Emily and Morgan. "Guys, we need to go." I whispered.

"What's up?" Morgan asked.

"Just; come on." I mumbled.

"Yes ma'am." He nodded.

Emily and Morgan followed me. Although, they looked at me when I stopped outside the restroom door. "Get your gun. Be ready." I stated quietly. They nodded and did as I said.

"You be careful. Don't hurt that baby." Morgan warned. I nodded back. I quietly, but quickly opened the door.

Behind the door was two young women on the floor. The blonde was above the redhead, the redhead was in a chokehold and had a knife just barely poking her stomach. I quickly aimed my gun at the attacker. "FBI! Put the knife down." I demanded.

The blonde smirked before plunging the knife into the redhead's stomach. Emily shot at the attacker, it wasn't fatal, but enough to disable her. Emily and Morgan went to help the victim, as I pulled the attacker up, cuffing her.

"I see you finally found me." She smirked.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against in the court of law. You may hire a lawyer, and if cannot afford one, one will be appointed by the city." I recited.

"Ashley, Hotch is on his way, along with paramedics and the police." Emily informed.

"Thank you." I nodded.

"We're gonna come back. I told you, I will get Joey." She snickered. I ignored the girl, and led her out to the foyer.

Once the police and paramedics were here, the girl was taken away. The young redhead, who I later learned as Harper, was taken to the hospital and would lead a speedy recovery.

Hotch came over and placed his hand on my shoulder. It was still slightly awkward between us. He gave me a small smile, "You did good, Stamper."

"Thank you." I nodded.

"Are you Agent Stamper?" A paramedic asked me.

"Yes. Who needs to know?" I replied.

"Uh. Ms. Stevens would like to speak to you." He stated.

"Sure. Where is she?" I ask.

"Follow me." He motioned. I looked at Hotch, who was already talking to Morgan and Emily. I nodded to the paramedic, who then took me to Harper.

Harper's face lit up when she saw me. She spoke as I stood in front of her. "I just wanted to say thank you."

"It's not a problem. It's what I do." I smiled.

"Just a question, but how did you know she was in there?" She asked.

"Instinct. We've been tracking her." I answer.

"How many?" She asked.

"Murders?" I responded. Harper nodded. I sighed, "Three."

"Wow. Thank you." She mumbled. She pulled me closer and gave me a hug.

"You're welcome. Now, be careful." I demanded lightly.

"Wait. I have another question." She stated.

"Go ahead." I nodded.

"If I were to join the FBI, could you be my mentor?" She asked.

"Of course. You know who I am, just ask when you get there." I smiled.

"Bye Mrs. Stamper." Harper waved.

"Bye Ms. Stevens." I waved back.

~*~*~

Joey looked relieved as I walked into the room. He jumped up from where he was sitting and gave a tight hug.

"Joey, you squeeze me any tighter and I might give birth right here." I laugh.

"Oh. Sorry." He mumbled, releasing from the hug.

"It's over." I smiled.

"What is?" He asked.

"We caught her." I grinned.

"Baby, I knew you could do it." He whispered, kissing me. "How'd you do it?"

"Harper, she was attacked. We saved her before she was seriously injured." I answered.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Harper has a few stitches from a stab wound, but she'll recover quickly." I nodded.

"That's great! I'm so proud of you!" He exclaimed.

"I love you." I laughed.

"I love you too." He replied.

"You guys ready to go home?" I ask.

"Let's go! I wanna see my girls." Alan yelled excitedly.

"Come on." I laugh.

"Wait. I know this unexpected, but I need a place to stay." Kane states hopefully.

"You could stay with us." Joey offers, looking at me for permission.

I nodded, "Yeah. If you need too."

"You sure?" Kane asked.

"Yeah." I smiled, "We've got plenty of room."

~*~*~

As we walked through the front door, Joey dropped his bags and flopped onto the couch.

He sighed happily, "Never thought I'd be so happy to see this couch!"

"Could be seeing it more often." I said slyly. I smirked as Joey jumped up and wrapped in another tight hug.

"No! I love you, baby." He pouts.

"I love you too." I smile, kissing his cheek.

"I'm tired." He whines.

"We all are, Joe." Kane laughs.

"Come on. I'll show you your room." I motioned. Kane nodded and followed me upstairs. I showed him his room, where our room was and where the bathroom was.

Once Kane was settled in, I then went to bed.

Joey snuggled into me as I laid down. "Now you finally join me." He mumbled.

"I was showing Kane his room. Calm down." I whispered.

"I'm kidding. I love you." He smiled.

"I love you too." I muttered, quickly kissing him.

Joey buried his face into my neck and was out within minutes. It wasn't long until I was asleep too.

•A/N•

Woohoo! Took me forty six chapters to get through a tour and catch an UnSub! What's gonna happen now?

Oo! Before I forget, I want to ask a question. I've been stuck on this for a while. Which nursery theme? \/

Or,

Like I said, I'm stuck. Which ever gets the most votes will be the nursery.

Vote and Comment!
