Operations
When they got to the hospital Aaron was rushed to OR while they examined Jack. They decided his broken ribs were too close to his organs so decided he needed an operation too.
"Daddy Spencer," he said scared and vulnerably.
"It's going to be alright, buddy. They'll just operate to fix your ribs," he replied stroking his arm. "They'll just fix you up and make you all better."
"Will it hurt? Will I see them do it?"
"I can make sure they put you under anaesthetic which will knock you out so you won't feel or see anything during the operation."
He nodded. "I want you to come with me."
"I can't but I'll be right by your side when you come out."
"Promise?"
"Pinky promise," he answered linking his little finger with Jack's. He smiled up at him. "Be the little brave boy I know you are and when you come out you can show all your friends your battle scar."
He smiled even wider at that. "Yer, I can."
The anaesthetologist then strapped the mask on Jack's face and put on the anaesthetic while counting down. Once Jack's eyes had closed they took it off and took him to OR assuring his stepfather everything would be fine.
Spencer went to wait for them both in the waiting area while Jessica arrived with Lily Rose. When Lily saw her dad she smiled and opened her eyes wide for him. He smiled and took her off her gently and stroked her hair.
"How are they?" Jessica asked while he noticed the team come up behind her.
"They're both in OR. Aaron's gone into a coma with internal bleeding and still has glass in his eyebrow while Jack's broken ribs are too close to his lung so they decided to operate," he answered looking down.
"It's going to be alright. They'll come out of it fine. They've got the Hotchner fighting gene," Dave said patting his shoulder.
He nodded. "How did you find out?"
"Jessica told us," he replied.
"Danny paged me," Emily added.
"Oh it's Danny now, is it?" Derek replied raising an eyebrow.
"Why? You jealous?" she smiled back.
JJ stepped over to Spencer and rubbed his back then stroked Lily's hair. "You two alright?" she asked concerned.
"Yes, just a cut on the head for me and bumps and bruises for Lily Rose," he replied kissing his daughter's hair. "Lily, these are my and daddy Aaron's team, Dave, JJ, Emily, Derek and Penelope. Guys, this is our daughter, Lily Rose."
"Hi sweetie," Emily said stroking her hair feeling a little broody while the one year old smiled back at her.
She then replied, "Da...da...dad," and hid her face in Spencer's chest.
"It appears she's a little shy," he smiled slightly tenderly down at her.
"Aw bless her," Garcia replied. "She's beautiful."
"Thanks," he smiled slightly back at her. "I just hope I won't lose her other dad or her brother."
"You won't," Dave answered patting his arm. "You won't."
