"Come on Jack" Jessica was pleading.
"No!" Jack screamed. " I don't want to" He replied. Jessica could be heard sighing.
"Come on" She said. Two seconds later she emerged with Jack over her shoulder. She placed him on the ground. He wouldn't look at Hotch.
"Jack buddy" Hotch smiled and walked over to him. "Come here." He held open his arms.
"No" He pouted and stomped his foot. The team watched, as Hotch looked worried. He approached the little boy and bent to his level.
"Jack, what's wrong?" he asked. Jack turned his head.
"You never called" He whined.
"I'm sorry buddy, the bad guys almost got me, uncle Dave and Miss Emily, my phone was broken. Then the snow came and knocked power out like it sometimes does here" Hotch explained in a soft voice.
"Miss Emmy was hurt?" Jack asked fearfully, looking his father in the eye.
"No buddy, miss Emily is fine, her hand is just black and blue and her ankle has an ouchie" Jack's little eyes widened. He searched the crowd.
"Miss EMMY!" He yelled and ran into her. She caught him and he sobbed into her shirt. "Miss Emmy, miss emmy" He repeated. Emily looked worried. She hugged the boy tightly and kissed his head.
"I'm okay Jack honey, i'm fine" She told him soothingly. "Jack look at me" She told him. He looked up at her with tears in his chocolate brown eyes. "What's wrong sweetie?" She asked.
"My first mommy left me, my other mommy can't leave me too" he said sadly. "Please don't leave Mama Emmy" Hotch gasped. Jack had never called her Mama Emmy before. The rest of the team looked heart broken and shocked.
"Jack, you're mommy loved you so much, she will always be your mom" She said gently.
"No, Jessie says a mommy is someone who loves you, and makes you breakfast, and kisses your ouchies. Mommy's also love daddies, and you love daddy, right? And you love me?" He asked, looking unsure.
"Of course i love you Jack, and your daddy too" She kissed his cheeks. "But your daddy loves you also and he hasn't gotten a hug or kiss in 10 days, can you please forgive daddy?" She asked. She ignored the gaping team mates. Jack nodded and sniffled. He jumped off her lap and ran to his dad. Hotch picked him up in a hug.
"I love you buddy" He told the young boy" Never forget that" Jack nodded.
"Love you too daddy" He kissed Hotch's cheek then wiggled to get down. He had to greet the whole team. Uncle Dave got a hand shake, Garcia and JJ got hugs and kisses, Morgan was tackled to the ground and lastly, Jack climbed into Spencer's lap, asking to see the magic trick. Spencer willingly showed him. After Henry had arrived and Mrs. Jareau had smacked Spencer, it was just the team and two sleeping boys.
"So, Emily and Hotch?" Garcia laughed. "How long?"
"About a year" Emily replied.
"We suck at profiling" Morgan proclaimed. Everyone laughed again. They all went home, ladened down with bags and tired as hell. Hotch drove Emily's car as her hand was bugging her and her ankle was messed up. She sat in the back with a sleeping Jack on her lap. She and Hotch carried him into Hotch's house and tucked him in, each kissing his cheek. They collapsed on their bed, both still dressed. Emily moaned and groaned before getting comfortable. She settled against his chest and they both fell asleep. The next morning Hotch was making pancakes when Emily rushed to the bathroom to throw up. She didn't tell Hotch, she needed to speak with JJ first. She texted the blonde telling her it was urgent, and she texted back, meet for coffee in ten. Emily threw on sweats and rushed out of the room. She pecked Hotch's cheek before dahsing out the door saying JJ needed her.
She met her two blonde friends at the coffee shop near work. JJ look better. She sat down and without greeting said what she needed to say.
"How effective are contraceptives?" She blurted. JJ and Garcia stared
"You think, you're?" Garcia asked. Emily nodded.
"Everything has the small percent chance of not working" JJ told. "Let's go buy a test" She said. Emily grabbed a tea to go and they rushed to the nearest drug store. Garcia bought three different types and they went to the office, to that bathroom, locking the door behind them.
Five minutes later, Emily Prentiss was sobbing. The little pink plus sign shone brightly against the whiteness of the back drop. Her friends wrapped her in a hug, assuring her it would be okay. Words were excahnged and Emily left the bathroom feeling better. She had every intention of telling Agent Hotchner of their addition of sorts.
Two days later, and Hotch still hadn't been told, Emily planned to do it tonight as he had invited her to dinner. She let JJ and Garcia dress her in a red dress, having sent Hotch a red matching tie. She was having trouble breathing. They pushed her into the taxi, telling her everything would work out fine.
She arrived at the place right on time. Hotch was already there of course, he too looked nervous. Maybe he was breaking up with her, she hoped not. Fear settled in the pit of her stomach. She struggled to breath, Hotch noticed.
"Are you okay Em?" He asked. She nodded. A single tear rolled down her cheek.
"Em, talk to me please" He begged. She shook her head.
"I love you Em, you know that right?" he asked. "I'de trust my life to you" He added.
"I'm pregnant" She blurted out. He stared with an open mouth.
"WhaT?" He asked.
"Pregnant, with your child" She repeated. He stared at her for a second before he smiled and left his chair to pick her up, swinging her around laughing. He was so excited, but now she was confused.
"You don't have to stay because of this" She told him. He broke apart quickly.
"Excuse me?" He asked.
"If you were going to break up with me, just do. I won't deny you the right to see your child" She told him, looking down. Tears threatened to fall.
"Emily Prentiss, you are absolutely insane. Do you think i would have asked you here to break up with you?" He asked. She nodded sadly.
"Well you are wrong." He bent down to see he eyes. She looked up, refusing to make eye contact. He got down on one knee, not that she could see him. "Emily Prentiss, I love you so much that it hurts. You are loved by my son, by my family. You make me smile and forget how crappy our lives can be. I never want to be without you. Breaking up with you has never ever crossed my mind, but marrying you has. Will you, Emily Prentiss, do me the honor of becoming my wife and legal mother to my son?" He asked. Emily gasped. She collapsed in his arms, saying she was sorry and of course she would marry him. They embraced as the other people eating their dinner clapped. He wiped away her tears with a smile.
"I love you" She whispered.
"I love you too Em, more then you could imagine"
