Hotch glanced at Emily as they drove back from the hospital after talking with Judy Hannity and her son. Emily had a look on her face since they'd left and Hotch was concerned and slightly curious.
"What's bothering you Emily?" Hotch asked.
Emily sighed. "She was just having a bad day and now she's never going to walk again."
Hotch nodded. He understood why that was bothering her but for the life of him, couldn't think of anything to help her.
"You don't have to say anything Aaron." Emily said seeing the look on Hotch's face. "It helps that you asked."
Hotch smiled and squeezed Emily's hand.

Emily sat beside Hotch on the plane ride home. "Remind me to never ride with Morgan and Reid during a high speed chase again."
Hotch smiled. "That bad?"
"Reid gives directions as we reach the turn and Morgan likes the gas pedal more then the break." Emily said.
"Hey, I didn't get us kill." Morgan said sitting across from the pair.
"And we were driving too fast for me to give directions any sooner then when we hit the turns." Reid said.
"All I'm saying is you took ten years off my life." Emily said. "And you can both drive with Dave from now on."
Dave snorted. "I don't think so. I've got JJ and Henry back home." he looked at Hotch. "You drive with them."
Hotch gave his friend and mentor a look. "Hey, I've got Jack and Emily."
Emily smiled as the Dave and Hotch bickered over who would drive with Reid and Morgan while the other two tried to point out there was nothing wrong with driving with them. Turning, Emily noticed Jordan sitting alone and got up, moving over to her. Thankfully she was sitting far enough away where she didn't hear Dave and Hotch refer their their relationships with JJ and Emily.
"You ok?" Emily asked, sitting across from the other woman.
Jordan pulled her attention away from the window. "Just trying to take everything in that happened."
"You know this isn't your fault right?" Emily asked. "He killed them long before we got there."
Jordan sighed. "I know. Agent Rossi explained it to me. I guess I'm just trying to get used to all of this. I knew what the BAU did before JJ approached me, I just never imagined,"
Emily nodded. "Neither did I before I joined the team. Other agents outside the BAU think that our job can't be that hard but once they see exactly what it is that we deal with, most can't handle it."
"Do you ever get used to it?" Jordan asked.
Emily exhaled. "Ah, I wouldn't say you get used to it but some of it does become easier to handle after a while. There are some things though that no one should ever get used to and if you find yourself getting used to it, get out. No good can come of it."
Jordan smiled slightly. "Thanks."
Emily nodded as she stood. "You're welcome."
Hotch looked at Emily as she returned to his side. "Everything ok?"
"Yeah, everything's ok." Emily confirmed.

JJ leaned against Dave's side as the team took turns rocking and holding Henry. Both found wide smiles spreading across their faces as Emily took Henry and Hotch stood in front of her, a hand on her elbow, the other on Henry's head.
"Now there's a sight." Dave said softly.
JJ nodded. "Just what I was thinking. Think they'll ever get there?"
Dave shrugged. "I don't know. I don't even think they know. We'll just have to wait and see."
JJ rested her head on Dave's shoulder and continued to watch the soft smiles Emily and Hotch exchanged as Emily laid Henry in Hotch's arms.
