JJ gasped. She didn't know what to do or say. She saw how a tear drop flowed down his cheek.
It was just wrong. It weren't fair. After all he's been going through, after Haley's death after everything, and now he has to deal with this.
And she weren't even sure if he can deal with this.
She were speechless, she has absolutely nothing to say.
" What happened? " Rossi asked quietly. It was terrifying to see his best friend like that. He were crying , he looked scared, so vulnerable, so broken.
Hotch couldn't speak. He were in shock. That all just hit him now , and he had no idea what to think.
" Hotch? " JJ asked softly and wiped that falling teardrop from his cheek.
She hugged him, and she didn't want to never let go. Hotch tries to put his thoughts together and hugs her back. He's afraid that if she lets go, he would fall down.
JJ felt how his hands were shaking , how a few tear drop fell to her shirt.
She can only imagine how he felt right now.
" Please. Talk to me. " She said quietly while leaning her head to his chest.
He couldn't talk. He couldn't move. He just stand there.
" This is your captain , and we are landing, so , please , sit down and fasten your seat belt. " They heard the voice from the plain's speakers.
They went to their seat, and so did Hotch , but he were so in his own thoughts that he weren't even sure what happened at that moment.
When they landed and they got out of the plain it was raining. It felt all so dark, so cold, so lonely. Exaclty how Hotch felt at the moment.
" JJ ? " Hotch said quietly.
" Yeah? " JJ turned on Hotch.
" Could you… " Hotch started but regretted it already.
" Could I what? Hotch? "
Hotch sighs. " Could you give me a ride to hospital? I don't think I should drive. "
She nods. " Of course. "
**** At the Hospital ****
" Hotch? " JJ said quietly before Hotch got out of the car.
" Yes? "
" Can I… Could I come with you? " She looked away. She just could watch his sad eyes. It just weren't fair. She felt like crying, she just wanted to hug him and never let go.
He didn't deserve this. No one does. But he's been going through too much.
" But I totally understand if you want to be with him alone. Yeah. Of course. I'm sorry… "
" It's okay. You can come if you want to. I think Jack would love to see you. " Hotch said and looked at her.
They both got out and walked to the Hospital.
" Hey. How can I help you? " Said the young woman on the hall of the ER.
" I'm here to see Jack Adam Hotchner. " Hotch said. He tried to stay strong , but that thing he's seeing inside his head about Jack right now , were pushing him so badly that he felt like giving up.
Woman nodded and started typing.
" ICU room 13 " she said and they walked towards those big doors and they came to Intensive Care Unit.
" Room 13. "
They walked in.
Jack were sleeping. What could be more cute thing than watch a little 9 years old boy sleeping. He looked calm and happy. And he looked a lot like his father.
Hotch sat to a side of his bed and just watch. He smiled weakly to him.
JJ took a chair to another side of the bed.
Maybe few minutes later , he woke up. He were pale , and looked tired, exhausted actually. He looked sick , but still happy.
" Daddy! " He shouted and hugged his dad tight. That brought a tears to his eyes. He hugged him back.
" Hey Buddy. Easy. How are you feeling? " He asked quietly. He were so happy to see him, but also so sad at the same time.
" I'm super tired. I'm feeling a little bit like you when you come back home after rough case. " Jack said.
Hotch smiled.
" JJ! " Jack turned to her, and hugged her too.
" Hey. It's nice to see you. " She said and tried to keep her mind straight. It was hard even for her, so she can't even imagine how Hotch felt.
" Daddy. Could you give me that paper. I want to draw. " He said. He loved drawing.
" Of course. "
Jack started draw and they had a good time together and for a moment they forgot everything bad. They lived on the moment, and only it mattered.
" Hey. How are you guys feeling here. " Male doctor came to them maybe hour later.
" Little tired. " Jack said and smiled. He were happy.
" Yeah, I bet. But I have to ask you two to leave for awhile. We must do a few tests. Maybe half and hour and you can come back. Just a few routine test. Nothing more. " He said and Hotch and JJ got up.
" Okay. Sure. " Hotch said , but before leaving he went to Jack and kissed him to his forehead.
" I'll be right back, okay? "
" Okay. I love you , Daddy. " Jack said.
" I love you too , Buddy. "
I'm sorry. I've been really busy with my school, but I try to update as soon as I can.
