Births
Three months later they were due to have the twins any day now. He was on a case in Washington DC when his pager went off. He looked at it and worried. His wife had gone into labour. Here he was working on a case and his wife was in labour.
Rossi saw his face and said gently, "Aaron, what are you still doing here? Go, Emily's gone into labour. We can carry on here without you. You need to be by Emily's side as she gives birth to your twins."
"But Morgan? I'm not Unit Chief currently," he answered concerned.
"He'd be telling you to go like you will when it comes time for Penelope and Savannah's babies."
He nodded. Penelope and Savannah were both three months pregnant with Derek and Spencer's babies. He packed up his stuff and rushed to the hospital alerting Jessica he was on his way. He knew she would be taking her to hospital as planned. He was so thankful he wasn't in another state on this case though he would still have flown home to be with her and the twins.
When he got there he rushed to the reception desk in the maternity section. He rushed to the desk and said, "I'm Agent Hotchner," flashing his badge. "I was told my wife was brought in here."
"Oh yes Mr Hotchner this way," a nurse answered leading him to the private maternity room.
"Aaron," Emily called when she saw him vulnerably. She was feeling so many mixed emotions. Though she had two children she'd never actually given birth before. She was scared about the birth and worried something was going to go wrong. She was also excited they were finally coming out. She couldn't wait to meet her children.
He ran up to her side and held her hand stroking her hair. "It's going to be alright, Emmy," he soothed.
"I'm glad you're here now," she answered patting his hand then clutching her stomach as another contraction ripped through her. They were coming every few minutes and she just couldn't wait for this all to be over. The sooner it was the sooner all the pain would be over and she'd be holding her babies. She couldn't wait to see what they looked like.
Soon a midwife came in and checked how far she'd dilated. She was told she was dilated enough to be taken to the birthing room. They rushed her in there while Aaron ran beside her holding her hand and assuring her everything would be alright. They'd go through the birth together. There was no way he was going to leave her side while she had his babies.
When they were in the birthing room she felt the sudden urge to push. It was time! It was time these babies were born. He held her hand and encouraged her to push while stroking the sweaty hair off her face. With every push she got hotter and hotter. It was the most painful thing she'd ever been through and she was just so glad Aaron was here beside her to support her through it.
She gripped his hand every time she felt the pain surging though her body as she gave birth to their twins. After she gave birth to the first one she sunk back and decided she didn't want to push again but her baby didn't agree as five minutes later it started pushing the second twin out. He encouraged her once again.
She grabbed his hand even tighter as she gave birth to their other twin. It hurt even more now she was tired out from the first. She kept trying even though the effort drained the strength from her. Finally both their twins were out and she fell asleep.
Aaron looked at her worried as she closed her eyes.
"Don't worry, she's just sleeping," the midwife soothed. He nodded relieved. "Would you like to hold your twins?" he smiled and nodded.
They gave him the babies and he held them gently in his arms. One was wrapped up in a blue blanket while the other was wrapped in a pink. He smiled at them both falling madly for them. They were the most beautiful babies he'd ever seen. They both had dark hairs and dark eyes. He looked like him while she looked like her. He had tears in his eyes thinking a year ago he could have died and here he was a married ago he could have died and here he was a married father of four.
Emily woke up in the private maternity room to see Aaron sat there on the bed holding their twins. He looked the sweetest she'd ever seen him. He just looked so in love with their babies.
"Aaron," she said gently.
He looked over and smiled. He was so happy to see his wife awake again and couldn't wait to show her their twins. He knew she'd fall for them instantly. They were just perfect.
"Want to see them?" he smiled.
"Of course I do," she smiled back stroking his beard. She loved the soft feel of it on her fingers.
He sat up near her pillow and showed her both their twins. She smiled down at them with tears filling her eyes. She couldn't believe she'd finally given birth and to the man of her dreams' babies. Last year she was single and lookin life as a single mother. Now she was married to the love of her life with four children.
