She stared at herself in the mirror, smoothing out the ivory lace wedding dress. She could feel the butterflies dancing in her stomach, she heard the door open. She turned and saw Jack walk into the room, he was talking on the phone.

"Jack, what are you doing here?" Jack looked up at her smiling at her.

"Dad, she looks beautiful! OK." Jack hands Izzy the phone, she take it from him.

"Aaron Hotchner, you should be ashamed of yourself, sending our son to spy!"

"Come to the door of your suite."

"Aaron..."

"Just stick your hand out."

"What are you doing?" She walked to the door of her hotel suite, opening the door a crack, she stuck her arm out. He grabbed her han, kissing it, he slipped a bracket on her wrist.

"I love you Izzabelle Nicole Cooper, in forty-five minutes you'll walk down the aisle to be my wife. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

"I love you too. See you in forty-five minutes." He kissed her hand before leaving. She went back into her room. She squatting in front of Jack, he hugged her and kissed her.

"You look beautiful mom'"

"Thank you son."

He left the room, to go be with his dad. She turned as the door opened again, her dad was standing in front of her, with tears in his eyes.

"You look beautiful."

"Thanks dad."

The door opened, JJ and Penelope came in smiling at her, the three women hugged. The four of them walked into the hall, to take their places. Reid and JJ walked down first, then Morgan and Penelope, the doors shut. Dave and Izzy took their place in, the music started to play, she started down the aisle towards Aaron.

She smiled as she saw him, there were tears in his eyes. Her dad put her hand into Aaron's, his eyes never left her face. They stepped in front of the pastor, exchanging vows, once they were pronounced husband and wife. Aaron pulled her close kissing her, they ran out of the church to the waiting limo.

As it pulled away from the curb, Aaron pulled her into his arms. "I love you, Mrs. Hotchner."

She smiled at him, cupping his face, looking into his eyes. "I love you Aaron." She leaned in for a kiss, his hands started to unzip her dress.

"Aaron!"

"I can't help myself!" He smiled at her with a mischievous smile, he pulled her on to his lap.

The limo came to an abrupt stop, he pulled back from her, to look out the window, he cursed under his breathe and threw her on the floor of the limo, covering her body with his. The limo was sprayed with gunfire.

She sat up gasping for air, reaching for his side of the bed. It was empty, she sat up blinking and rubbing her eyes. She walked out into the kitchen, the rest of the BAU team was eating reception food, they looked up as she walked in.

"How are you feeling?" David said.

"Like I've been shot." She said quietly. "Where's Jack?"

"He's laying down resting." JJ said, looking at her sadly.

Izzy grabbed herself a plate and fixed herself something to eat, she needed to keep her strength up if for no one else, then for Jack. She picked over the food, eating v little as possible. Dave walked up wrapping his arm around her waist, being careful to not hurt her shot arm.

"We're going to find out who did this!"

"I know dad, I know." She closed her eyes, letting fresh tears stream down her cheeks. Thinking about how the happiest day of her life, had turned so quickly. She pushed her plate away, not wanting to eat. She looked at the stack of wedding gifts that were piled up in the apartment, she just wanted to curl up and cry.

"We'll take care of thos for you." Penelope said, putting her arm arounf her.

"It's okay, I'll take care of them, myself. She smiled weakly.

JJ and Penelope cleared away the food, while then men cleaned the kitchen, Izzy hugged them each, thanking them. They left her alone, except for her dad, he sat down on the couch with her. The pain medication made her fall asleep, Dave carried her to the bedroom, laying her down in bed. He walked down to the guestroom to lay down and sleep, today was a long, emotional day and tomorrow promised to be even longer.

She woke up at two am, she couldn't stand it anymore, she got up from her and Aaron's bed. She touched the empty side of the bed, tearing up, she got dressed, leaving the bedroom, she left her dad a note telling him where she'd gone. She quietly left the apartment, taking a cab to the hospital, she quietly went into his room. He was still out of it from surgery, he'd taken several bullets, two in the side, and one in the abdomen. She bushed the hair off his forehead, kissing him gently, the doctors had pushed her out the door that night, telling her he'd be out all night.

She had wanted to stay by his side, but her dad drug her out of the hospital, insisting she also needed rest, she had gotten a minor gunshot wound to the fore arm. Leaving him was the hardest thing she'd ever done, but she also needed to take care of Jack. He'd been scared to death, finding out both of them had been hurt, Jack was still worried about his dad. Dave would bring him to the hospital later in the morning.

She curled up in the chair next to Aaron's bed, her arm was bothering her a little bit, she shifted positions trying to get comfortable, she finally dozed off to sleep.

She woke up laying next to him in his hospital bed, his brown eyes staring into hers. "Good morning." He whispered kissing her.

"How'd I get up here?"

"I had one of the Agents guarding me put you in bed with me. You looked so uncomfortable in that chair, besides I wanted to wake up next to my wife."

"Aaron..I could have hurt you."

"How's your arm?"

"It's fine."

He kissed her again."I love you."

"I love you too."

She started to get up, he stopped her. "Where are you going? I'm not done holding you yet."

She carefully laid back down in his arms, for a man that had been shot three times he was still strong. She closed her eyes, relieved that he was still alive and safe.
