Chapter 1

Emily paced at the hall of the hospital trying to collect her thoughts. He doesn't remember anything. He doesn't remember our life together. He eyes started to water when she thought of the way he talked to her. Prentiss. Not even Emily, but Prentiss. God. What would happen from now? She remembered the doctor saying that it was only temporary, but for how long? How she supposed to act in front of him? How do you act in front of your husband when he doesn't remember he's married with you? When he doesn't remember he loves you?

She thought about their story, trying to recollect how they evolved to something more than friends. She thought about the years he had forgotten. By her math he was some place right after Haley's death. Christ, she couldn't even begin to understand how his head must be confused. For him, his ex-wife has just been murdered and he was a single father of a four-year-old. Shit. Jack was ten-years-old right now! How the hell he was going to react when he'd seen his little boy? And how she supposed to explain this to Jack?

She sat down at a chair in one of the waiting rooms and let the tears fall. She thought about all their moments together, how they got closer after Haley's death, how she went to his place at least twice a week and they would talk for hours. She got really close to Jack and started to join them at playdates and movie nights often. And then, when the whole Doyle fiasco, he did everything on his power to protect her and keep her safe, risking his own career, going against the Bureau and lying to the whole team to keep her secret.

And when she came back, he stood by her side, taking all the blame for her and putting himself between her and the Bureau and her and the team, to protect her from anything and anyone. And finally, finally, at that same night he took her to his office and once the door was closed he involved her in his arms and kissed her, so passionately and lovingly that she actually cried, trying to believe that he was really showing her that her feelings were reciprocated.

Since then they were together, every single day, building their lives together with Jack, as a family, first just dating, then living together, then engaged and finally married, as her own fairy tale coming true. And now everything was turned upside down.

God. She closed her eyes and sighed, before getting up and going towards the exit. She got into her car and left to her mother-in-law's place, to get her son. Suddenly a thought came into her head. What if Aaron's memory doesn't come back? She wouldn't just loose her husband, but also her son. She forced herself to stay calm because she had to stay strong for them. He would need her, more than ever. She just hoped he would let her help.

Parking in front of the house she stayed at the car for a few minutes, controlling her breathing and her tears. She got off the car and went to the front door just in time it swung it open to reveal a ten-years-old boy with a big grin on his face. "Mom!" He launched himself on her arms and she held him tight, trying to get some of the strength she knew she would need.

"Hi honey. Did you were good for grandma?"

"Of course he was, darling". She looked up to Anna, watching them from the living room. "How is my son?"

She winced inwardly before taking a deep breath to answer. "He's good, awake. He's very eager to see his young boy!" She said, looking at Jack. "How about you go get ready for us to go see your father?"

"Right!" He raced upstairs to get ready, excitedly.

Anna looked at her knowingly and asked. "Okay, what's wrong?"

Emily looked at her mother-in-law and couldn't prevent the tears forming. "He doesn't remember". She said with a sob. At Anna's frown she continued. "He doesn't remember the last six years. He doesn't remember marring me or anything!"

"Oh sweetheart!" Anna pulled Emily into her arms and held her while she sobbed on her shoulder.

"He called me Prentiss, Anna. Prentiss! He was so cold and… and… What am I going to do? He doesn't remember anything! He doesn't love me!" She said, the last part as a pain whisper. Anna closed her eyes and soothed her for a few minutes.

"I'm so sorry Em. What the doctors said?"

"They said it's just temporary, that he will remember things with time. But what if he doesn't? What if he doesn't remember our life together anymore?"

"You can't think like this, sweetie. He will get better, and you have to stay by his side every step of the way".

Jack came running to them, dressed in jeans and a shirt. "I'm ready. Let's go see daddy!"

"Let me just get my purse, baby". Anna said going upstairs. Emily knew she had to warn Jack about Aaron's condition so she took him to the couch.

"C'me here baby, I need to talk to you" They sat down and she looked to him. "Look, I need to explain something to you. You remember I said that your daddy hit his head really hard?" The boy nodded and she continued. "Well, because of this, when he woke up he was a little confused. He doesn't remember some things".

"Like what made him go to the hospital?"

"No baby, it's a little more than that. He doesn't remember some stuff about our life together, like when I started to live with you guys, how we got married, you know. So, when you say some things to him he maybe be a little confused and don't understand".

"But he won't remember anymore?" The boy's eyes widened.

"No baby, he will. But it might take a while".

"Okay, we'll help him to remember. It'll be like when he told me stories before sleep, right?" He asked with a smile.

"Right, buddy". She saw Anna coming down stairs. "Let's go, let's see daddy".

"Yeah! Let's see daddy!"

Hotch was lying awake, still trying to understand some things when the door opened and a much older version of his little boy run into the room.

"Daddy!" He looked at him with wide eyes while the boy raced to his side and gave him a one side hug.

"Jack?" He asked looking at the door to see his mother and Prentiss watching them.

"I missed you, dad!" He said on his shoulder.

"Me too, buddy. You're so big." He said in awe, looking at the young boy. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm staying with grandma while mom is here with you. She's really cool! We made cookies last week and yesterday we watched movies the whole night!" His brain stopped to process anything when his son said 'mom'. He really called Prentiss as mom? Oh God, what was happening? He forced a smile at his boy.

"That's good, buddy." He looked at both women again. "Hi mom. Prent-Emily". He winced visibly at his slip and saw her flinch and his mother put a supportive hand on her shoulder and squeeze it.

"Hi honey. I'm so glad you're awake". Anna said approaching to give him a kiss on his forehead.

Emily looked at the scene in front of her and felt a sharp pain on her chest. Clearing her throat awkwardly she said. "I.. I think I'm going to look for the doctor to ask some questions, I'll come back later".

"But mom, why do you have to go?"

She winced at the look on Hotch's face when Jack called her mom. "It's just for a little bit, honey. I'll be right back. Be good for daddy and grandma, okay?"

"You want me to go with you, darling?"

"No Anna, that's not necessary. Look at Jack, don't let him touch Aaron's IV".

"Okay. Don't take too long." She nodded and left the room, leaning against the door, tears falling on her face. I just want my husband back.
