When he returned to the hotel suite, Hotch found himself walking into a maelstrom of excited activity.

"I'm going to be able to talk with The Professor!" Lynn excitedly informed him as she gestured towards the dining room table where Garcia had a laptop set up. "And Penelope says I'll be able to see him, too!"

"I have a Skype session scheduled," Garcia told Hotch. "The Trans-Caribbean Development Corp. installed a dedicated computer on the island so anyone who wants to can contact their family. Apparently, Professor Chastain has been one of the few people using it. I understand that he and Reid had quite the session yesterday afternoon after I hooked them up."

"The Professor!" Jacob cheered as he capered around the room. "We're going to talk with The Professor!"

"The sounds great," Hotch agreed. "Do I need to do anything or are you all set?"

"Everything is all set," Garcia told him. "In three – two – one – Hello Professor Chastain!" She peered at the screen. "Is this coming through clearly on your end?"

"Clear as anything, Penelope," was the response. "It's good to see you again. And, thank you so much for setting this up. I still don't believe this technology; it is incredible!"

"Professor?" Lynn moved into range of the camera. "Is it really you?"

"It's really me," came the immediate assurance. "And how are you doing 586? Adjusting to your new life?"

"Professor!" Jacob cheered as he rushed over in front of the screen. "It's me, too!"

"Hello 765," The Professor chuckled. "It's good to see you too."

"I'm Jacob now," the boy responded. "And she (he pointed to his mother) is Lynn."

"Jacob, that's a good, solid name," was the considered reply. "But Lynn? The sounds a little – "

"That was my mother's name," Hotch moved into view of the camera. "And I always liked it."

"A legacy name," The Professor observed. "That's always good. Have birth certificates been issued for either of you yet?"

"Not yet," Hotch replied. "Trans-Caribbean Development is handling getting them filed with the authorities and I'm not sure how long that is going to take."

"I do have one request," The Professor said thoughtfully. "I would like to be listed as the father on Jacob's birth certificate. If a DNA test is necessary, I will gladly undergo one. I understand that a group of doctors is scheduled to arrive on the island tomorrow and I am sure they can arrange it."

"That's not a problem," Hotch assured the man. "I'll let the lawyers know. And, I assume you want him to have your last name as well?"

"Yes," was the immediate response. "That's exactly what I would like. Now, does he have a middle name?"

"No," Lynn told him. "I didn't know that one is necessary."

"Not necessary, but useful," The Professor explained. "If I may ask one more favor, could you possibly give him my given name as his middle name – Please?"

"Jacob Martin Chastain," Hotch reiterated. "That sounds like a fine name to me. I'll handle that."

"What about a middle name for me, then?" Lynn asked. "Do I need one? And what about the baby, do I need to have a name for it?" She was starting to sound frantic.

"Calm down. We don't need to decide on a name for the baby right away, we have some time on that," Hotch told her as he wrapped his arm around her. "However, it might be a good idea to decide on a middle name for you so we can get it registered."

"I assume you have a suggestion," he addressed the screen.

"My mother was Irish and very proud of it," was the slow reply. "And her name was Siobhan."

"Lynn Siobhan," Hotch tried speaking the name out loud. "That sounds good. What do you think?" He turned to Lynn.

"I think I now have a complete name," Lynn told him with a smile. "Lynn Siobhan Hutchins Hotchner. I assume it needs to be registered somewhere?"

"Let me handle that," Hotch told her. "Now, you go on with your visit with The Professor. I know you have a lot of catching up to do. Garcia and I will entertain Jacob."

"You can entertain Jacob," Garcia told him. "While I check out these midwifes." She waved the sheet of paper from Savannah at him. "We need to make sure this baby gets a good start in life."

"Well, what did The Professor have to say?" Hotch asked his wife. It was later that evening and they were sitting on the couch talking after having tucked Jacob in for the night.

"It appears that not many people are interested in leaving the island," Lynn reported. "The offer was made and several people did leave almost immediately, but most of the people are content staying where they are for now."

"If they are happy with their life the way it is, I can understand that," Hotch replied. "And, let's face it, some of them escaped some very unfortunate situations on the mainland. What about The Professor – Is he staying or leaving?"

"He says he wants to stay," Lynn told him. "He says he feels safer there away from temptation. Also, Spencer helped him contact the Mainland University, where he used to teach, and they are offering him a chance to continue his research working remotely. They are sending him some kind of computer hook-up where he can lecture on line as well. Spencer is going to be assisting him as some sort of intermediary. It also seems that the contents of his old office are still packed up in boxes in the Math Department and they are going to have them shipped to Spencer's office for him to go through."

"Reid is going to love that," Hotch chuckled. "He has always enjoyed reviewing other people's work."

"Well, it appears that he is currently reviewing a paper The Professor is hoping to publish," Lynn told him. "And The Professor wants to list me as an Assistant Researcher in the credits. He said it was a big deal."

"It is a big deal – Congratulations!" Hotch assured her with a big smile and a hug. "That means you will be establishing your academic credentials before you even start at the university. It will be a big step in the right direction for your future."

"University?" Lynn echoed fearfully. "Me?"

"Lynn, Honey, you are far too intelligent to just sit around all day," Hotch told her. "There will be a lot of intermediary steps, and there are still a lot of things you need to learn about living on the mainland, but you really need to start thinking about it."

"Me – University?" Lynn repeated in amazement.
