Skype

The next morning Hotch was lying on his bed with his laptop open in front of him and Jack laid beside him on his front. Eloise was in the cot by his bed. He didn't want to lose sight of his daughter now she was here. He just wished he had his other daughter with him but surely the time would fly and he would be in London soon enough. He was on compassionate leave and really looking forward to reuniting with his Emily and meeting Jenny.

Suddenly Emily came on the screen and he beamed. He'd really missed her beautiful face and now she was his. She squealed, "You've got a beard!"

"Yer sorry I forgot to shave this morning," he answered stroking his beard and about to get up and shave when she called out.

"No!" he turned back. "Please keep it. I love it. It suits you. I was just surprised that's all."

"If you love it I'll keep it," he smiled. "Anything to make you happy."

"Aw Aaron." She was touched by his action.

"It's the least I can do for all the suffering I've caused you."

"It was never your fault and she'd gone now. You don't need to carry the guilt."

"Hi Emmy," Jack smiled excitedly waving his hand wildly at the web camera.

"Hey buddy," she answered. "Have you been looking after daddy like you promised?" he nodded wildly. It was then she heard crying from the nursery and she rolled her eyes. Damn she must have woken up Jenny when she called to stop her father from shaving. "I'm sorry Jenny's woken up early. I'll be back in a minute."

"Sure," Hotch smiled hoping she'd bring their daughter back with her. He really wanted to see her. She was his but he couldn't be with her for six weeks.

Emily went up to the nursery and saw her baby crying in her cot. She picked her up and shushed her cradling her. "Hey sweetie, it's ok. It's ok. Want to meet daddy? He's on Skype right now."

She smiled up at her mother and she smiled back feeling her heart warm. There was hope they would be a family now. She took her down to show her her father and for Hotch to see his daughter. She stroked her hair walking in with her.

She then sat down in front of her computer and he smiled back at her holding his child in her arms. It was the most beautiful sight he'd ever seen. The woman he loved was cradling the baby they'd created together.

"Aaron, Jack, this is Jenny," she smiled at them. "Jenny, this is your father and your big brother, Jack."

She smiled at her and she could see he was getting choked up while his son was beaming. "She's beautiful," he smiled.

"Isn't she?" she smiled proudly at their baby.

"Eloise," Jack called jumping up from the bed wanting to show her to Emily. "Eloise."

"Jack," Hotch said firmly. "No, you'll wake her," but it was too late as he heard his other daughter wake up crying. "I guess it's my turn now. Sorry about this, honey."

"Its fine, babe," she smiled at the fact he'd called her honey. Yes everything was going to be great now. She finally had him and a family.

He came back holding his daughter and she smiled at them. He looked so sweet sitting there with his baby and Jack smiling at her. She knew they were going to make a great family and they would love Jenny as much as Eloise.

A few days later Rossi came over to find how Hotch was doing and why no-one had heard from him. He had a spare key so let himself in only to find Hotch sitting at his desk talking to Emily. He was so happy for them and asked about the baby. He was pleased to know Jenny was doing well.
