"Where are Lynn and Jacob?" Hotch asked as he walked into the waiting area located off the hospital's main lobby. "I understand that the doctors want to keep us here overnight and I want to make sure we are all together."
He checked the bandage on the inside of his left elbow. "They drew some blood as well as giving me a tetanus shot," he explained with a grimace.
"JJ and Garcia have Lynn outside, trying to calm her down," Morgan told him. "It appears that her visit with the doctor was rather traumatizing."
"Reid has Jacob and I believe they are off somewhere examining some medical equipment," Rossi added. "Taking advantage of a 'teaching moment', I assume. It would appear that 'Professor Reid' has a way with the young fellow. Not only did he oversee the doctor's visit but he also convinced him to let the nurse give him multiple vaccinations and draw some blood."
"Even after spending all that time in the classroom, he still has the energy left to take on yet another student," Morgan shook his head in amazement.
"Lynn is okay, isn't she?" Hotch questioned as he headed towards the door. "Nothing's wrong is it?"
"Nothing that a quick kick to the seat of the pants of that doctor wouldn't fix," Lewis, coming in through the door, answered Hotch's question. "As I understand it, Lynn made it through the initial health screening with no real problem but when the doctor started in on her about not getting any prenatal care and about not being vaccinated, and then went on to complain that she can't be vaccinated now because of her pregnancy - That did it. Your wife was less that comfortable with the situation and he was less than understanding. JJ tried to run interference, but that didn't work out too well. Apparently Lynn stood up and tried to leave and that's when the doctor attempted to restrain her."
"Oh No!" Hotch groaned. "My wife has a mind of her own and between her and JJ I'll bet that doctor didn't stand a chance."
"Neither of them attacked him physically – or at least not exactly physically," Lewis was trying hard not to smirk. "But I'll bet that he is currently reevaluating his bedside manner."
"I would guess that an overnight stay is out of the question then," Rossi observed wryly. "I assume that the Bureau doctors at Quantico can get your test results over the phone so you won't have to have blood taken twice. However, you are saying that the doctor never got around to checking on the baby?" He looked quizzically at Lewis.
"From what I understand, 'No'," was the reply. "And, judging from what I heard and saw, that is probably best left for another day."
"Then let me bring one of the SUVs around," Morgan was pulling out the keys to the vehicle. "We can get Lynn out of here and over to the resort and then you can decide what to do next."
"Good idea," Rossi agreed. "I'll track down Reid and Jacob and we can all leave together. There are some things that can wait."
