Mis stood at the graveside as she attended Haley funeral. She looked as Hotch stood up front. He looked an almost broken man as he grieved over the mother of his son. Grace stood next to Mia as Mia held her hand and smiled. Mia knew that things were tense with them

"W.S. Gilbert wrote, "It's love that makes the world go 'round." And if that's true, then the world spun a little faster with Haley in it. Haley was my best friend since we were in high school. We certainly had our struggles, But if there's one thing we agreed on unconditionally, It was our love and commitment to our son jack. Haley's love for jack was joyous And fierce. That fierceness is why she isn't here today. A mother's love is an unrivaled force of nature. And we can all learn much from the way haley lived her life. Haley's death causes each of us to stop And take stock of our lives. To measure who we are And what we've become. I don't have all those answers for myself, But I know who haley was. She was the woman who died Protecting the child we brought into this world together. And I will make sure that jack grows up Knowing who his mother was and how she loved and protected him And how much I loved her. If haley were with us today, She would ask us not to mourn her death But to celebrate her life. She would tell us... She would tell us to love our families unconditionally... And to hold them close, Because in the end, they are all that matter. I met haley at the tryouts Of our high school's production of "the pirates of penzance." I found our copy of the play And was looking through it the other night, And I came upon a passage that seemed... Appropriate for this moment. "oh, dry the glistening tear "that dews that martial cheek. "thy loving children hear, "in them thy comfort seek. "with sympathetic care "their arms around thee creep, "for, oh, they cannot bear To see their father weep." Hotch said as he delievered the eulogy

Mia looked to Morgan as he held her hand. Mis knew that she was crying. She was crying for Jack the young boy that had lost his mom in such a traumatising way. Mia placed a white rose on the coffin as she walked over to Morgan leaving Grace and hotch to stare each other as he lifted Jack up so he drop the rose on the coffin

"Ok, you can go ahead. Blow mommy a kiss." Hotch said as Grace walked over to where Mia and Morgan were

"Are you okay?" Mia asked Grace as she shock her head

"No it's a lot. I don't know what to do" Grace said as mia pulled her into a hug and smiled

"I know they tour scared but I'm here for you and so is Derek your not alone in this I promise" Mia said as grace smiled

The team sat at the wake. They looked as Rossi went outside with hotch with a glass of whiskey each. Mia was worried over grace. She knew grace was pregnant and she hadn't told hotch and she knew how she felt. She was the same when she felt pregnant but she knew this was a whole  different situation

"What do we do? " Emily asked

"There's nothing we can do. We just gotta wait him out" Morgan said as Mia looked to him and smiled

" You think he'll ever come back? " Reid asked

"Would you? " jj asked

"He'll come back. I just don't know what he's gonna look like when he does. " Morgan said

"We just need to be there for him when he's ready." Jj said as Morgan's phone rang as mia groaned

"They can't be calling us in, not tonight. " Morgan said

"I'm on it. " jj said checking her phone
