Chapter 10
It was late and each of the other Hotchner-rossi kids had gone to bed. Aaron was nervously sitting at the kitchen table, watching his phoe, waiting for a message from dave. Nothing yet.
A small girl dressed in bright pink pyjamas quietly tiptoed into the kitchen.
"Daddy, what's going on? Wheres pappa and spencer?" says Penelope, as she anxiously approaches her father.
"Hey kiddo" aaron replies. "Spence is just a little bit sick, papa is taking him to go see a doctor to help him feel better".
"He's not gonna die is he" the 8 year old proclaimed.
"No, no sweetheart of course not" Aaron says picking the young girl up in his arms and walking over to the couch where he sat down with her on his lap. She curled into him, her head resting on his chest. They sat like that for a while before aaron noticed her breathing had evened out, and she was fast asleep. He slowly stood up with her in his arms and walked upstairs to her bed, gently laying her down in her bed. He placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"Goodnight pen, love you"
