Separate Statements
"Aaron," he answered smiling at her holding Anais close to him.
"Aaron," she smiled back while the twins looked confused.
"Our children?" Anais asked confused.
"Anais and Leon, Aaron is your dad," Emily explained. "Remember how I always said I couldn't contact him..." They nodded innocently. "Well he happened to be the agent in charge of this case."
They smiled at him knowing how hard mummy had legally tried to finds him for them now the man they dreamed of was here. They'd always wondered what he was like and now he'd saved them from the scary man. He'd long been their hero as mum said he was in the FBI.
"Let's all travel back to the station together," Aaron said. She nodded. There was no way she was going to let them lose him again. She knew how long they'd dreamt of meeting him. He was the nurse for their bedtime stories. The strong FBI agent taking down the country's bad guys.
Also she knew they would have to give statements separately and she'd rather they were both with a parent even if they were their father's team. She didn't know the team she'd only just met them. Back when she and Aaron met they'd only slept together once and he was gone the next day as his assignment was over.
He drove them back to the station while she cared for the kids. Every now and again he'd look in the mirror thinking he couldn't lose this. How was it going to work though? He lived in Washington DC she lived in Missouri. He had to go back he had a baby son back in Washington. He couldn't believe he had three children already.
When they got there they separated to take their statements. Hotch took Leon while Emily took Anais.
"Mummy, why are we separating?" she asked.
"They just want to take separate statements from you two," she replied placing her hand on her shoulder.
She nodded and cuddled close to her mummy while Emily looked up to notice Leon was huddling close to his dad. She was happy to see he felt safe with his dad already. She really hoped things would sort themselves out between them. She'd even move closer to Washington if need be. Her father was about to move to New York; that would be closer. Maybe she could go with him and hoped her children would make new friends.
