Sorry everyone. I thought that I had already posted this chapter.

"Mama, are you up yet?" Emily heard the careful whisper of her son drawing her from her nap as he climbed up onto the bed. Deciding not to answer him just yet, she faked still being asleep.

"She not up yet," John explained to someone else in the room.

"Mommy sleeping too," Lila's soft voice reached her ears.

"Let them sleep," Michael Prentiss told his grandchildren.

"But I miss them," the little boy admitted.

Her heart strings being pulled, Emily quickly scooped the little boy into her arms and dragged him into a big hug, "I missed you too." She peppered his face with kisses as John squirmed and laughed. Emily looked over and saw Lila resting on JJ's legs. "And I missed you too." Reaching over she pulled Lila into her arms, tickling Lila just as she had her brother.

"We just saw Hope, Mama. Why is she so far away?" asked Lila.

"The nurse took her to a room filled with other babies so that they can look after her while your Mommy and I took a nap," explained Emily.

"They are giving her back, right?" John asked.

Hugging both of her twins, Emily placed a kiss onto both of their heads and assured them that they will indeed see their baby sister again. "How are you feeling Em-bear."

"Still a bit sore, but I'm okay, Dad. Where's Mom?"

"Emergency meeting at the capital." Michael shakes his head as he sends a wide grin to his daughter. "You should have heard her on the phone when they called her about the meeting. She is definitely a changed woman. Your mother told them that if it wasn't a direct request from the President for her to be there, she was not going, that she had to take care of her grandchildren while their parents were in the hospital."

Emily chuckled and deduced correctly, "and the President requested her there."

"He called her personally, Em," Michael confirmed. Emily's eyes rose at the comment, but she didn't respond. It was not the first time her mother received a personal phone call from the President. Emily remembers the frequent calls her mother took as a US Ambassador while they were in the various countries of the world.

"Everything okay?" a noticeably still sleepy voice asked from the bed beside them.

"Mommy!" both children called out in excitement at seeing their mother awake.

Smiling and giving out a soft, 'Thank you,' to Michael as he took the time to carefully place the twins on JJ's bed, the mother greeted both of them with a kiss and a timid hug, "Were you two good for Grandma and Grandpa?"

Lila quickly nodded her head, "Uh-huh. We went to the park and we got ice cream."

"That sounds like a fun," said JJ. She looked up to her father-in-law and repeated her previous question, "The President called Elizabeth? Is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine, Jennifer," Michael replied. "They knew that the only way to drag into work was to call in the big guns. Lizzie left the room, muttering not-so-ladylike words in several languages as she prepared to leave. It was actually quite funny to witness."

Taking a good look at her father, Emily was ready to call him out on the lie she saw hiding in his eyes. She knew something was wrong, but let it go for the moment. Instead, Emily smiled at the new nickname her father used for her mother and decided to tease him about it. It seemed the relationship between Emily and Elizabeth was not the only one to grow stronger in the recent years. Deciding to tease her father, Emily said, "Lizzie? Has she heard you call her that, yet?"

"It took some time to get used to it, but eventually she has learned to like hearing it," Michael responded.

"Who is Lizzie?" asked a curious John.

JJ a hand through her son's hair, "Your grandmother. Lizzie is a nickname for Elizabeth."

Emily stood from her bed and sat in the visitor's chair next to JJ. "It's grandpa's special name for her."

"Like Em-bear," said Lila, referring to her grandfather's nickname for Emily.

"Yes," said Emily. "You two are so smart." Emily reached over and tickled both of her children. She loved hearing their giggles. It was better at healing her then any medicine she would find in the hospital.

Hotch knocked on the closed conference room door and waited until he heard the words inviting him to enter. Once he closed the door behind him, Hotch saw who the other visitors were in the room. Putting on his professional mask as the dread of what now was he expected a business, rather than personal meeting, Hotch entered the room and moved to sit at the table in front of him. Sitting at the table were Congresswoman Prentiss and the Director of the FBI, James Morrison.

"Agent Hotchner, I am guessing by now that you have realized this is not a personal visit," said the Congresswoman.

Nodding, Hotch replied, "You are correct. What is going on?"

"Several members in Congress have received threats against their children. We need your team to look into these threats to see how viable they are," explained the Director.

"Of course," replied Hotch, "but, Director I am sure that you are aware that we are two agents down."

"I am," the Director replied. "This is a sensitive issue that includes the two agents you mentioned and their children."

Hotch's eyes widened as Elizabeth passed over the hand-written note she received. His fist clenched as he read the note for all in the room to hear. "Innocent children should not grow up in the homes of sinners. They need to be saved."

"There are four other notes all with the same message. All were delivered to a member of Congress who has grandchildren living with same-sex parents," informed Morrison.

"Michael has gone to the hospital to stay with the girls and inform the security staff there about a possible threat," offered Elizabeth. "The President, having strong views in support of same-sex couples, asked the secret service to assign a protection detail to each of the couples threatened. They should arrive later tonight. Hopefully, that will give you enough time to convince my daughter that it is needed."

Hotch cracked a slight smile at the joke filled jab to his stubborn agent. "I will do my best. We will need to run the backgrounds of everyone involved – the threatened parents, and their parents," informed Hotch.

"I can assure that you will have their full cooperation," assured Elizabeth.

"Okay. I will assemble the team now and inform them on what is happening," said Hotch. He stands and leaves the room quickly after receiving the file with copies of the letters and a listing of all those threatened. Dialing and raising the phone to his ear, "Dave, get everyone to the BAU," could be heard as the elevator doors closed.

At the BAU, Hotch looked around the room at the four members of his team. He knew this was the last thing his team needed after the joy of their family growing just occurred, but he also knew that it was for that same reason his team will work their hardest to end the threat.

"I take it Elizabeth didn't call you over for a social visit," Rossi observed.

"No, no she didn't," was Hotch's only reply before he began to relay the information he received to those in the room. Passing the letters over to the others for them to read, he started assigning tasks. "Garcia, we need backgrounds on the couples threatened and their parents - that includes the Prentiss' there could be something in common. Reid, go over the letters see if there is anything you can tell about our Unsub and then start looking through the backgrounds along with Morgan once Garcia's search is finished. Dave, you and I are going to the hospital to double check security and make sure that Emily will cooperate with the Secret Service once they arrive." The group all nodded as they stood from their seats. Determination was set on their faces as a threat to one of their own lies in the air.

Updates should be weekly from now on, I promise.
