Prentiss knocked on Hotch's office door, with the exception of Rossi they were the last two in the office. "Can I come in?" She asked.
"Sure Prentiss, why havn't you gone home yet? It's late." He responded as she walked into his office and sat down on the couch.
"I'm scared." She told him honestly; Doyle was dead but she had been in the BAU long enough to know that there were other bad people out there. "Scared of being in that big space alone…"
"Well come round mine tonight; you can have my bed. I'll take the couch." He told her. "I'm sure Jack won't mind."
"You sure Hotch?" She responded pausing, Hotch hoped she would accept his offer to come round, it hadn't looked like Prentiss had had a decent nights sleep since the whole Doyle fiasco and he hoped she could atleast have one. "I'll take the couch, it's not a problem." She continued.
Arriving at Hotch's place she was greeted warmly by Jessica; who had been looking after Jack. Hotch thanked her before she left to head back to her place.
Laying down on his couch she sighed, it was true that she hadn't had a decent nights sleep since the whole Doyle fiasco. It was either nightmares or being too scared to sleep. "Your couch isn't half bad." She told him.
"Glad you like it." He responded before getting her a blanket and sitting down next to her, gently massaging her back. "Get some sleep." Hotch told her gently, he did not plan on leaving her side until he knew she was asleep and would be ok.
About half an hour later he noticed she was sound asleep and ran his fingers through her soft hair, gently kissing her on the cheek and whispering goodnight before heading to bed himself.
Being Awoken at 1am by a scream. Due to his just awoken state he first thought it was Jack; Cheking in his room he noticed Jack was sound asleep, then he realised - Emily.
She was sitting up, looking frightened. Sitting himself down next to her he put his arm round her and pulled her close; holding her firmly and comfortingly. "It's alright Em." He told her reassuringly.
Emily sobbed and instincivly buried her head into his chest. It was so warm and made her feel safe. "I'm sorry I woke you." She apologized, sheepishly.
"It's alright Emily…" He replied comfortingly and engulfed both of his arms around her. "Your safe now." He reassured."Come sleep in my room with me." He invited, noticing how she had calmed down significantly in the last couple of minutes.
"Sure" She responded too tired to argue however she was slightly warey as she did not want to become overly attached to him again.
Laying down in bed the two had their arms round eachother, Aaron soothing Emily once more; helping her to sleep. This time he wouldn't let go.
