Summary
She laughs and it hits him then, as the breath catches in his throat. I want to marry her.
His heart beats so fast he’s surprised she doesn’t hear it. He suddenly sees another child next to Jack on the swings; a girl, her hair dark and her eyes darker still, carbon copies of Emily’s. It settles in his lungs, a choking need to have this with her.Or, 5 times Aaron tries to propose to Emily, and the one time he finally does it.

Summary
"I should, uh," he begins, gesturing vaguely down the street. "I've got to..."
"Of course, of course, don't let us keep you," Kate says, her voice a little too bright. She fumbles in her leather bag and nudges out of it a white business card. "Here. Grab my card. Do call. Let's... catch up. Go out sometime."
He takes it, his fingers brushing her gloved ones. He doesn't look at it. He can't look away from Emily, who is staring with naked frown at the rectangle in his hand, her lip curled in a fraction of a sneer she thinks he can't see.
He shoves the card into the pocket of his coat.
"I will," he says. He nods at Kate, then forces his eyes to Emily. "A real pleasure meeting you, ma'am."

Summary
Then she speaks. "What's he talking about?"
He can't tell if she's talking to him or to the whole table. She has that way of speaking, broad, inclusive, a leader addressing the room. He waits, hoping someone else will jump in, just to buy his heart a second to slow down.
"Oh, you know exactly what he's talking about," Rossi says, waving a hand like he's shooing a fly.
"Come on, let's not put Aaron on the spot again," JJ chimes in, her voice gentle.
"Oh, right. That." Emily's sigh is perfectly casual. She sets her glass down. "Really, Aaron, don't sweat it. People say all kinds of things when they're drunk."

I didn’t know if you’d care if I came back (I have a lot of regrets about that) by em_prentiss

Summary
“You didn’t call. You didn’t text.” Her voice cracks and she shuts up, swallows until the shakiness in her throat disappears. Her whole body is jittery, trembling as she looks at him. Her pulse roars in her ears, drowning out the soft justifications that try to fall from his lips.
Aaron wets his dry lips. “I’m so sorry,” he whispers. He steps forward to close the distance between them. Emily looks away. Step back, she tells herself, but she can’t. She’s spent so long craving his presence, and now that he’s here her feet are frozen in place.
Scratch is finally down, but Aaron doesn't come home. Not until Emily runs into him by accident.

Summary
It's a bad idea to even consider something could happen between them. To weigh the odds would be playing with fire. To act upon it - they might as well just throw gas and watch it burn. Part 3 of 3.
