Penelope Garcia: Say it Charlie!

Me: I do not…. I can't it's too painful!

Garcia: I can make it look like you were never born... now SAY IT!

Me: Ok, Ok, I do not own Criminal Minds or any of its counterparts…. There happy now? You just ripped out a part of my soul.

Garcia: Extremely, my little cupcake.

Emily Hotchner walked into her spotless house. Having been married for 15 years it was quite surprising to see the house clean. That's when she saw it, the hallway closet was half open with all her kids junk spilling out onto the floor. 'Well, at least they tried to clean up a bit' she thought as she set her briefcase and jacket next to the door.

"Aaron? Jack? Grace?" She called as she moved further into the house.

She found her 3 year old Grace Marie asleep on the sheepskin rug in the middle of the living room floor. Suddenly she heard crashing upstairs and a speeding ball of red came barrelling down the stairs on a collision course with her. "MOOOOOOOOM!" Jack cried as he collided with Emily. She stumbled back and they both crashed to the floor. "Hey buddy" Emily said as she rubbed the back of her head "where's your dad?"

"Dad? He's changing Oliver's diaper." Jack replied with a wrinkled nose. Jack had never liked the smell of a dirty diaper even when he was 3 and it was his own. He always screamed and either Emily or Aaron had to change him immediately otherwise their son would scream until he lost his voice.

Emily walked back into the living room and picked up her 3 year old. She couldn't believe she was the mother of a 9 year-old, a 3 year-old and a month old baby.

Emily and Aaron got secretly married in Vegas when they were 18 just before college. It was sort of their final rebellion against their parents. Jackson Peter Hotchner came along 4 years later just as they were finishing training with the FBI. They worked well in the BAU for 6 years under SSAIC Jason Gideon and Section Chief David Rossi. When Gideon left Aaron was promoted to Unit Chief while Emily was the second in command. That's when Emily found out she was pregnant again and so they worked out a work schedule and 9 months later Grace Marie Hotchner arrived. They worked well for the next 2 years, alternating days so that one of them could be with the children until almost a year ago Emily came home with the news that she was pregnant again… and nine months later Oliver James Hotchner entered the world.

Emily was pulled out of her thoughts by chuckling and turned to see her husband standing in the doorway with their youngest against his shoulder. She walked over to them. "Hey Ollie baby" she smiled as Aaron kissed her cheek.
"How was work today Em?" he asked as he set Oliver into the rocker next to the couch.
"Same old, same old. I did a phone consult for Philadelphia. We'll probably have to head out there early next week, he kills every second Thursday"

They sat on the couch and talked about work for the next half hour before Jack came and pulled Emily away to help him with his homework. As she was being dragged upstairs Emily knew she would never have it any other way.
