Wait

The team met up in the waiting room once again with Jack, Jessica and Elizabeth. Elizabeth, Jessica and Dave had been called back to the hospital warned that they might have to say their goodbyes to Emily and Aaron. They couldn't believe things had taken such a worse turn since they'd left them earlier. Earlier things had looked settled and they were both going to make it; now they'd been asked to prepare to say goodbye. What the hell had happened since they went home?

They'd only been told that they'd experienced problems tonight. They'd been told Emily had been found thrashing about with internal bleeding and Aaron had been found with breathing problems and turning blue. They'd never prayed so hard for them both to make it. They were all scared but held onto the knowledge they were both fighters.

Dave and Derek were pacing around trying to keep calm while JJ was trying to comfort Garcia who was almost in floods of tears. Reid sat in the corner biting his nails while Kate looked down at the floor trying to gather her thoughts. Jessica was trying to comfort Elizabeth and her nephew. She could see how scared they both were about their loved ones.

"What did you do with your grandchildren?"" she asked curious.

"I left them with my secretary. She was the only sitter I could get so late. I thought they were far too young to be here. They're only four and two. Emily's the only mother they've known. She adopted them both from the moment they were born," she answered trying to bite back tears.

"She'll be the only mother they'll know. She'll make it. I don't know her that well admittedly but I know from Jack and Aaron she's a fighter..." Elizabeth nodded trying to hold back the tears even more knowing this woman was right her daughter was a fighter. She always had been since she was born premature and fought to survive even then. She'd even fought to be a mother even after she'd found out Doyle's attack had left her unable to get pregnant and now she was a mother of two adorable adopted children.

"Auntie Jessica?" Jack asked quietly.

"Yes buddy," she answered rubbing his arm.

"Dad's going to be alright, isn't he?"

"Of course he is. He's a fighter, you know that."

"I won't lose him like mum?"

Tears filled her eyes as she saw the fear in his eyes. As he was so young when his mum had died he'd been quite affected especially as he'd heard the gunshot. It had resurfaced when Beth moved to Hong Kong three years ago and again now when his father was critical.

"Of course you won't," she answered hugging him. "He'll never let that happen. He'll always fight for you."

He nodded and answered quietly, "He's my hero."

"I know," she answered kissing his hair.

He turned to Elizabeth and said, "He didn't mean to shoot Emmy. He loves her."

"I know," she answered smiling slightly at him.

"I think she loves him too."

"I believe she does but it might take a little time over him shooting her."

"They'll get together in the end. I want her to be my new mum and to be a big brother. Would they like me?"

"I'm sure Stella and Oliver would love a big brother like you and my daughter already loves you."

He smiled up at her. "Can I call you grandma if they get together?"

"I'd love that."

He smiled up at her and they soon heard footsteps coming up the corridor.

PS I freaked out when I saw the promo for Mr Scratch due to the similarities of this story but I predicted the plot of that episode by accident. I really had no idea the UnSub would be controlling Hotch's mind in that episode. Not sure whether to be spooked out or excited that the plot of that episode is similar to my story that started from a dream where Hotch had his mind controlled
