100 Theme Challenge

by hannah.grahamlecter

I'm really challenging myself to write 100 short fanfictions based on 100 themes. This won't be in 100 days because I'm probably gonna write when the muse strikes and when I have the time. But the plan is to complete it. I also want to try and focus on Blake and Kate because I don't write them much but no promises there.

"Emily you need to eat darling." Hotch told her, once he'd got back from work that night and had asked her what she wanted for dinner. Fortunately the BAU had no cases that needed visits accross country all week because Emily was having a really hard time with her chemotherapy and Hotch needed to be there to look out for her.

"Aaron I really don't feel good." She answered honestly. The kids both in their rooms so she didn't need to worry about scaring them.

"I know Emily. Is there anything you can try?" He asked her. He was growing worried about his wife. She was already slim but now she was growing increasingly skeletal.

"No Aaron. I'm really nauseous." She answered. She was so nauseous she could barley sit up. While they were having the conversation she was curled up in the foetal position with her head in his lap.

"Okay Em." He answered sadly. "I'm going to make chicken nuggets and chips for the boys then." He continued, allowing Emily to take her head off of him before he stood up. "I'm going to bring you some more Gatorade." It would at least provide her with a few more calories.

"Thankyou Aaron." She answered before laying herself back down.

"It's okay Em." He replied. H efelt like he really needed to protect Emily and look after her. Normally she was strong enough to look after herself but right now she really wasn't and he knew it was his role to keep her safe.

Hotch came back with gatorade and to provide Emily with comfort once he'd put the food in the oven, letting her rest her head on his lap once more. "How about I take some time off? I have a lot of vacation time." He offered. Wanting to be with her while she was really struggling.

"Aaron…" Emily whined. She didn't want him taking time off because of her. She didn't want to be a burden.

He sighed. Knowing he shouldn't have even given her the option. "Em.I'm not taking no as an answer."

Emily groaned. Not feeling well enough to argue with him. It was true he did have a lot of vacation time, and it was pretty sweet that he wanted to use it just so he could look after her.
