The Hotchner Men
(EPOV)
We got to Hotch's house and as I opened up the car door he said "Don't you think about it Prentiss. Give me one minute and I will come around and help you out." I sat back and sighed. If he was going to be like this the whole time I am going to go insane I thought to myself. He came over and helped me out of his car and then he wrapped his arm around my waist and helped me walk up to his door. Before he could even open it himself Spencer had it opened and came to the side that Hotch was not on and helped Hotch get me inside. Once we were in the door I said "I can make it to the front room you know. I don't need the help." Hotch and Spencer looked at each other and then continued helping me into the front room. I let out a groan of frustration.
Once Hotch and Spencer had me seated he said "Stay put and I will go out and get your things. Morgan come help me." I watched Derek nod and then he walked out of the living room with Hotch. I closed my eyes and sighed and Spencer said "Are you okay Em? Do you need something?" I shook my head and said "I am fine sweetie. Please do not worry about me." He looked at me and said "Of course I am going to worry about you. You are family Em and I love you." I felt tears gather in my eyes and said "I love you too Spencer but right now all this hovering is going to drive me insane. I promise to let you know if I'm not okay or if I need something. Okay?" He smiled at me and nodded. Hotch and Derek came back in with my stuff and set it down. Hotch came over to sit beside me and Derek sat on my other side. I looked around and saw JJ with Spencer and Dave talking to the Nurse that would be staying here. I looked at Hotch and said "Where is Penelope? I do not see her any where."
"She will be here shortly. She wanted to stop and get Chinese food for everyone so nobody had to cook tonight" Hotch said. I leaned back against the couch and nodded. My eyes closed but jerked back open when the doorbell rang. At once Dave, Derek, JJ, Spencer, and Hotch all had their guns drawn. Hotch jumped off of the couch and went to the door. He looked outside and then sighed and said "Put the guns away guys. Hailey is here with Jack." Everyone quickly put their guns away and Spencer, Dave, and Derek all gathered around me. I did not get to question why they were doing this before Hotch had the door opened.

I sighed in irritation as I holstered my gun. I had told Hailey that I would pick Jack up this evening. I knew she was not going to take it good that Emily would be staying here at my home. I really could care less though. She has no room to talk and if she starts in to much I will just have to remind her of it. I took in a deep breath and then opened up the front door. I said "Hailey I told you I would pick him up this evening. What are you doing here?" She looked at me in shock and said "Well Aaron I have plans tonight so I thought I would drop him off. What is with all the cars out front? Are you going to invite me in or just talk to me on the doorstep?" I let out a breath and stepped back to allow her in. Jack said "Daddy!" I picked him up and hugged him and said "Hey buddy." He smiled at me as I carried him into the front room.
I put him on the floor and he made a bee line for Emily. Emily smiled at him and Dave picked him up and sat him on his lap and said "Now remember Jack you have to be careful with Emily." He nodded and said "Miss Em'ly I am happy that you are out of that place. Now I can sit next to you on Daddy's couch and we can watch T.V." I heard Emily laugh as she replied "I will watch T.V. with you if that is want you want Jack." Jack nodded his head enthusiastically and I laughed. I looked at Hailey and saw that she was glaring at me. I said "Is there a problem Hailey?" She looked at Emily and glared even harder and said in a loud voice "What in the hell is that bitch doing here?" I heard Emily gasp and then she tried to stand up. I hurried over to her and said "Sit down sweetheart." She shook her head no at me and said "I can stay at my place Hotch." I turned around and looked at Hailey and said "What in the hell is the matter with you? Do I need to remind you that you have no say so in my life anymore? You gave that right up the minute you cheated on me and the minute you left me!"
Hailey's mouth dropped open but before she could say anything I said "She is staying here and I do not care what you say. She just got out of the hospital today and she had almost died. You just had to go and be a bitch didn't you Hailey? You can leave now that Jack is here. I will have him back to you on Sunday by 8:00. Now get out of my house!" Hailey just kept looking at me and then she said angrily "She probably got what she deserved. Aaron how you can be so blind? You are a profiler for God's sake! She has been in love with you for a long while now." I looked at Hailey and said "If she has then that is our business not yours. And nobody deserves what happened to her. Now get out of here!" She still stood there and said "She is a slut Aaron. How can you not see that!" By this time I was getting even more pissed but JJ had stomped over to where Hayley was standing and actually slapped her.
I looked over at the couch where Jack was sitting watching us and trying to get Emily to quit crying. Jack may only be five years old but he understood what was being said. He looked at his mom with anger on his face and came over to me. What he said surprised me and then angered me. He said "Daddy I want to stay and live with you. Mommy is always bringing men home and doing stuff with them where I can see." Hailey gasped and said "You little terror you weren't supposed to tell him. What did I tell you would happen if you told him?" I could not stop her quick enough and she had smacked Jack. I took a step towards her and then stopped because suddenly Emily had her hand around Hailey's wrist and said "I believe you were told to leave. You can say anything you damn well please about me but I will not tolerate you hitting your own child. If Aaron does not see that Jack comes to live with him permanately I will. You ever come near that little boy again and I will hurt you. Do I make myself fuckling clear?" I watched as Hayley paled and then she jerked her hand out of Emily's grasp and ran from my house.
Jack ran over to me and hugged my legs crying. I lifted him up and said "It is okay Buddy. You can live with me alright? She will never touch you again." I felt him nod into my shoulder and then I felt Emily wrap the hand that was broken around me as she gently rubbed Jack's back with the other while whispering to him. I looked around my family and saw Reid comforting JJ and Dave was standing close behind Emily. The Nurse even came over to check on us. I carried Jack to the couch as Dave guided Emily and then helped her sit down. Jack crawled over and sat on Emily's lap but before I could get him off of her lap she said "He's fine Aaron. I will tell you if I start to hurt. For now let me hold him. Please?" I nodded at her and she wrapped her arms around him holding him close. I felt my heart swell with love and pride for this woman. I knew then that I was never going to be able to let her go but I also knew that I would have to go slow. I looked at Dave and he nodded and smiled at me. It looks like Emily has both Hotchner men wrapped around her finger.
A/N: I know I made Hailey bad but I really didn't like her. This was the way that I wanted to write it. I'm sorry if I offended anybody.
