Marital Woes-Ch 21
The next couple of weeks flew by as Emily was healing at home being constantly checked on by her husband and her BAU family, her nurse was an amazing older woman named Abby who treated Emily like the daughter she never had but always wanted. Emily was getting stronger and stronger everyday and she couldn't wait to get back to work.
Hotch and the team were gone on a case to Maryland and he had called several times that day to check on her and had missed her every time,
once she had been asleep, once she was having therapy and the third time she was gone for a doctors appointment. Emily looked at Abby when she saw that she had missed three calls from her husband and said, "I better call Aaron and let him know that I'm alright before he sends a search party out looking for us".
Abby laughed and said, "yeah you better honey because you know how much that man loves you"?, she nodded her head yes as she picked up her cell and dialed his number. Hotch was sitting at the table looking at crime scene pictures with Derek and Reid when his cell started to ring.
He pulled it off of his belt and said, "Hotchner", Emily laughed and said, "well hello Hotchner", he smiled and said, "I've been trying to call you all day Em, where have you been"?, she said, "well I've been asleep, I had therapy and we just got back from my doctors appointment at the hospital".
Hotch said, "what did the doctor say"?, she smiled and said, "my wounds are at 80% healed and I have one more therapy session and one more appointment with her before we see if I'm able to go back to work". Hotch smiled and said, "that sounds great Em, we all miss you and can't wait for you to come back to work.
She laughed and said, "I can't wait either Aaron, this sitting home with nothing to do is sooooo not me", Abby laughed and Emily turned around and said, "well you know it's true Abby". Abby nodded her head and said, "ohhhh I know it's true honey", Hotch said, "so how are you feeling today"?, she said, "I'm doing good but my arms are hurting a little from the therapy".
Hotch said, "maybe you should take something for pain and lay down and rest"?, she sighed and said, "I don't like taking those things Aaron and you know it". He said, "I know that you don't like taking them honey but they help you rest and rest is what you need right now", she took a deep breath and said, "that's what Abby said".
Hotch laughed and said, "well then why don't you listen to us and take the meds and lay down and rest", she said, "alright Aaron, alright I give up I'll take the meds and rest". He got up and walked over to the window and said, "I love you Em and I'll call back as soon as I can and check on you".
She smiled and said, "I know honey, just please be careful", he said, "always my love, always" before the call ended, Emily turned around and smiled when she saw Abby standing beside her with her pain meds in her hand. Abby said, "you take these and lay down and rest and I'll fix that pasta salad that you like so much".
Emily grinned and said, "you are so good to me Abby and I don't think that I will ever be able to thank you for taking such good care of me since you've been here". Abby smiled and said, "I'm just glad that you are getting better Emily and soon you will be able to go back to work with your family", she nodded her head as she laid down and Abby covered her up with the throw from the back of the couch.
Reid looks at Hotch and says, "how is Em doing"?, Hotch said, "one more doctors appointment and one more therapy session and then she will be rechecked to see when she can come back to work". Derek put his hand on Hotchs shoulder and said, "that's great man", he nodded his head in agreement and said, "and I can't wait, I miss her and she misses us and you know that she hates being at home all day".
Derek opened his mouth to say something when his cell started ringing, he reached down and took it off his belt and said, "please tell me that you've found something goddess". She laughed and said, "well of course I did hotstuff, the victims had all been at the same diner just hours before they were taken".
Hotch said, "can you give us the address"?, she said, "it's already been sent to your cells", Derek said, "you are the best", she laughed and said, "awwww handsome you're only saying that because it's true", everybody laughed and he said, "you got me there sweetness", she said,
"stay safe my super crimefighters, Garcie out", Derek smiled as he put the cell on his belt before they quickly made their way out of the police station.
