A Criminal Minds Fanfic

Disclaimer: I defiantly don't own Criminal Minds. If I did it would e Reid's baby instead and everyone would be with their mates. But as you can see I don't own it. Oh well.

Pairings are Hotch/Emily, Reid/JJ, and Penelope/Derek

"Mommy?" Asked a sleepy little 4 year old Emmy Hotchner waking her mother up as she walked into her parent's room.

"What is wrong baby? Come here," Asked a now concerned three months pregnant with twins Emily Hotchner.

"Mommy, Brenny kicked me while I was sleeping. She woke me up and now I will only be able to sleep if I can sleep with you. When is Daddy coming home?" A very tired Emmy asked regarding her four year old younger sister and her father who was on a case.

"Sweet heart. Why were you in Brenny's bed again? Daddy said he was coming home tomorrow okay? We can go meet his jet. Now tonight you can come up into bed with me okay?"

"Thanks Mommy. I want to go see Daddy tomorrow. I wasn't in her bed. She was in mine this time. But what is going to happen with more little kids running around? When Brenny was born you didn't pay attention to me anymore. Mommy I want to still visit my aunts and uncles and cousins, and I want time with you and Daddy. You said I would always be your princess but I heard you say that to Brenny yesterday. Mommy, why are you replacing me?" Asked a very hurt little 6 year old girl with tears in her eyes looking up at her mommy like she was going to cry and breakdown.

"Sweetie, Brenny had just hurt her arm with a serious cut on it and it looked like it was almost infected. Sweet heart no matter what you will be my princess. You are my favorite little girl and I need you to calm down. I don't want to have to take you to the hospital again. Not without Daddy. Emmy listen to me baby. You are the one here in my arms. You are the special one. Mommy and you almost died. But Daddy held us both together. He looked into our room everyday and didn't leave or go home. Not even for Jack, but he got Jack to come in for days to. They love us and made sure we survived. Without you I wouldn't have been able to live. You and I together saved us. I love you more then anything, you are my miracle. So don't doubt for a second that these to or Brenny will take your place ever okay!" Said a crying Emily Hotchner taking her also sobbing little girl into her arms and holding her tightly to her chest as they fell asleep together like this and when Aaron got home the next morning to surprise his girls he found them like that, with reminisce of tears on their faces and their wet pillow.

"Morning Daddy," Said Brenny when she came into her parent's room hoping to ask her mom when her dad was coming home but instead running into her dad.

"Hey Brenny, any idea what happened here?"

"Daddy, Last night I got scared and my arm was hurting so I climbed into bed with Emmy and I guess I probably kicked her again and then she probably went to Mommy. When I got back into my bed this morning I heard crying from your room and it was probably them. Can you make me pancakes?"

"Brenny not today, do you think you could call Auntie Jen to see if she could bring you over her house today, or Auntie Penny, whichever one you want. Okay?" Aaron asked the obvious concern for his wife and daughter in his voice oblivious to his four year old daughter.

"Okay Daddy, can I sleep over Auntie Penny and Uncle Derek's house tonight?"

"Only if they say so, now go and call them okay?"

"Yes Daddy, I love you and them!" She said as she kissed her dad on the cheek and skipped out of the room to go into her room to call her aunt, oblivious to anything wrong in her household.

"Em wake up," Aaron said as he kneeled down beside his wife and daughter seriously concerned about their health.

"Hmm, Wait Aaron?" She said as she opened her eyes to see if he was really there.

"Yes baby, how about I take Brenny over to her Aunts house and then I can spend a long needed apparently day with you and Emmy. How does that sound?"

"Thank you Aaron, We really need it. She came in crying almost hyperventilating again last night because I accidentally called Brenny my little princess. Please take Brenny. I don't want to have to worry about her okay?"

"Yes Emily," He started by giving her a kiss on the lips, "But please don't do anything until I come back home. I need you to be relaxing. I am going to call the office and have David excuse the team for a long needed weeks vacation okay?"

"Was the case that bad?"

"Not bad but it involved kids. One almost didn't make it out of the four but they are thankfully all home and safe now. Emily, I was so worried about you and the girls while I was gone. Please tell me Brenny's arm isn't that bad. It looked really deep and I know with or girls we can't risk infections. Emily I want what is best for you guys. I think we need this week, and then we can decide okay? Actually after today I had an idea I brought to the team but I am not sure how you are going to react," Said a slightly strange looking Aaron to his ever observant wife.

"Aaron it isn't infected and I took her to the hospital and they fixed it. And what on earth do you have in mind for our team?"

"Well Pen originally came up with the idea. How about, the Reid's, the Morgan's, David, and The Hotchner's go on a cruise?"

"Oh, Aaron I would love it. And that way Brenny could go play with her cousins and not have to be seemingly not cared for as much by her parents. Along with Mary's problems, Jen and Spence would be able to look after her and not have to worry about Kylie or Jeremy. And Pen has been wanting some time without the triplets and just her and Derek. When you call David make sure you tell him to make the arrangements okay? And if he can do you think he could make it the Disney cruise? And maybe have a two week vacation and spend more time in the park or something. I know we deserve it. Please Aaron?" Asked a obviously in need of her plea Emily.

"Okay sweat heart. Now get some sleep while I go drop off our daughter okay?"

"Yes Aaron," She said almost in a whisper as she was already falling asleep while he was walking out the door.
