Bruce gave a hard look to the two he immediately laid eyes on when he walked out of his granddaughter's hospital room, and he closed the door behind him so the teenager didn't need to hear what was about to go on. "I'm sure that neither one of you are supposed to be up on this floor."
The younger man stood before his father and stood straighter. "Father."
"I think it would be best if you left."
Peter and Annie Hotchner took a small step back from the others that stood by the hospital room door, knowing that this was no longer their battle to fight.
Bruce's almost blind eyes moved from the boy he and his wife had raised and looked at the stone cold woman in front of him. "Lizzy," he chuckled, noticing her slight wince at the use of her nickname. "I don't suppose you're here with your husband to wish my pumpkin's baby a happy birthday."
"We're here to see if the little bastard actually makes it into this world."
Glaring hard at his son who had spoken up, the grandfather of one hit his cane against the floors, watching as the two forced themselves not to jump. He loved that they were scared of him. "Unless you two are gone, I'm positive that when this baby comes into the world, you two will be out of it." He hardened his eyes on the couple. "You wouldn't want to have these nice nurses clean up the mess that would make, would you?"
Elizabeth's crow's feet deepened as she frowned at the older man.
"You two are not welcome here," Bruce said steadily as he saw the guards come up out of the corner of his eye. "These two men are going to be taking you downstairs and escorting you back to your car. And unless it's come across your minds that this baby is a good thing, I will be sure that you stay away from Emily. Do you understand me?"
"I'm a grown man, father," Charles practically growled.
Bruce's grip tightened around his cane. "Were you a grown man when you practically forced your wife to get an abortion? You two were just twenty, and she wanted to keep the poor baby but you demanded her to the doctor. Then Emily came, and thank God that it was too late to abort. I love her with all my heart and it's a shame that you two can't do the same." He watched as the guards took both ambassadors by the arms, and he opened the hospital door back up for the Hotchners and him to venture back inside. "I hope to never hear from you two again."
Elizabeth grip her teeth as she slid her arm from the bodyguard's grip. "This is not over, Bruce. She will not keep that baby."
"Not your choice," the older man winked, chuckling as he closed the door on the retreating parents.
