It was Saturday afternoon and Emily was in the kitchen making Hotch some chicken noodle soup. Hotch had come down with a bad head cold. Jack was outside playing in the backyard. Emily and Hotch had been together over a year now, and had moved in a little less then 6 months ago. Emily couldn't be happier. She stood at the stove stirring the soup when her phone started ringing, it was probably JJ with a case.
"Hey JJ, whats up?" Emily asked, with the phone pressed between her shoulder and her ear, trying to pour the soup for Hotch and Jack.
"We have a case in San Fransisco. 4 Murders, all 16 year old blonde girls. We will go over it more on the plane" JJ said
"Okay, what time?"
"Meet at the BAU in a half hour. So how is Hotch feeling" JJ asked with a concerned tone
"He's pretty sick, i don't think he will be able to make this case" Emily said. Saddened at the thought of Hotch staying behind
"Okay well send him my best and give little G-man a hug for me" she said smiling on the other end of the phone
"Will do" Emily said smiling "see you soon"
Emily brought the soup to Hotch, hoping that he would be well enough to watch Jack on his own "Hey sweetheart how are you feeling?" she asked as she placed the soup on the living room table.
"Definitely been better, but i am alright" Hotch coughed " thank you babe. Who was on the phone?" he said sitting up to wrap his arm around Emily's shoulders
"It was JJ. We have a case in San Fransisco, i have to leave in 15 minutes. Do you think your feeling well enough to stay back with Jack on your own?" Emily said looking at the floor, feeling guilty for asking Hotch if he was capable of watching his son.
"Of course" he smiled at her
"I'm going to go get my go bag and then call Jack in" Emily said getting up and kissing his forehead "I love you"
"I love you too" he said smiled, blowing on his soup.
10 minutes later Emily was standing at the front door about to say goodbye to Jack "So i have to go on a case buddy, but your going to stay here with daddy". Jack ran and gave her a hug, he hated it when his daddy and Emmy went away on a case. He loved Emmy like his mom.
"Okay Emmy" Jack said into the crock of Emily's neck as he hugged her
"And remember buddy, i love you do much and you mean so much to me. I'm always here for you no matter what" she said standing up kissing the boys head
"I love you too mommy, go get the bad guys!" Jack smiled, high fiving her. Emily smiled back.
"Bye babe" Emily yelled as she ran out the door.
It had been a never ending day for Emily. All she could think about was how Hotch was doing with Jack, and his cold. Emily was sitting on her hotel bed going over the case file, but she just couldn't focus.
Hotch was laying in bed, he had just put Jack down. He was exhausted, he didn't realize how much the cold would take out of him. He was watching some cheesy movie Emily had in the DVD player. It was some romantic chick flick. He started to doze off when his son's blood curdling screams woke him up, making him jump out of bed and run down the hall.
Hotch swung open his son's door open. He saw Jack tossing and turning, still asleep. He hurried over to the bed side shaking Jack "Jack wake up" he still didn't wake up " What's wrong! Jack wake up!" . Jack's eyes shot open, tears pouring down them.
"Daddy she died! Daddy Emmy died!" Jack said crying
"Jack, sweetheart no she didn't. She's on a case catching bad guys" Hotch said rubbing Jack's back
"No daddy" Jack cried "I need Emmy!"
"How about we go call her"
Jack nodded, tears still streaming down his face. Hotch picked him up and carried him downstairs.
Emily had just crawled into bed and closed her eyes, when her phone rang. Emily growled " Damn JJ, this better be good" she rolled her eyes "Hello"
"Mommy are you okay" Jack cried hysterical on the other end of the phone
"Baby I'm okay, what's wrong?" Emily asked frantically as her son sobbed and sobbed
"You died!" Jack yelled. It killed Emily that she couldn't hug him right now
"No sweetheart you had a bad dream. I'm okay, I'm at the hotel with auntie JJ, uncle Morgan, uncle Reid and uncle Rossi"
"No mommy. I need you" Jack wailed
"Baby what can i do" Emily said, tears forming in her eyes "I'm not there"
"You said you would be here for me" Jack yelled
"Baby i know but i..."
"You lied to me!" Jack cried
"No sweetie I'm catching..."
"I hate you" Jack yelled and hung up the phone. As soon as the line went dead Emily's tears began to fall, she sobbed and sobbed all night.
