Jack groaned when as he rubbed his hand over his face, "Ow that hurts."

"Jack?" Maddie said, "Jack?"

Jack opened up his eyes, staring into the face of a tiny little girl, a dark haired one.

"Are you feeling better?" Maddie asked "Daddy's worried about you."

Jack rubbed his eyes, "Who are you?"

Maddie giggled picking up her pink teddy bear and saying "I'm your sister, silly."

Jack looked around, frowning that this wasn't his room at the apartment.

"Where am I?" Jack asked watching the girl run over to pick up a her fallen teddy bear "What's your name?"

Maddie turned around walking over to Jack's bed, which he noticed was littered with comic books.

"Maddie" Maddie told him smiling, and he saw the same dimples that he and Hotch had on her face.

"You look a little like me." Jack said "Who's your Mom and Dad?"

Maddie frowned "Mommy and Daddy are our Mommy and Daddy."

Jack got up out of the bed, looking around the room he smiled when he saw it was a soccer themed room and he had a lot of super hero comics and action figures.

"Come on, Jack" Maddie said dragging him with her "Mommy said she wants you to help me get the clothes to the laundry room. I'm not allowed to do it myself."

Jack frowned, "How old are you, Maddie?"

Maddie opened her door, "Four."


Jack smiled when he saw the girly room, and looked around the room seeing pictures all around the room of him with Maddie and Hotch.

"What's your Mom's name?" Jack asked seeing a picture of himself with Hotch and Maddie standing by the ocean at Dave's beach house and gasp when he saw Emily in the picture too.

"Mommy's name is Emily" Maddie said picking up the laundry "Come on, Jack."

Jack helped the little girl pick up her clothes and followed her through the new house towards the laundry room.

Hearing the sound of the television on, he looked around wondering where his Dad and Emily was.

"Where's Dad?" Jack asked.

"Daddy's in the backyard with Uncle Dave and Mommy" Maddie said running to the living room "Come here, Uncle Dave brought old home movies."

Jack walked over and saw on the tv was his soccer game from when Emily came back from hiding.

"There's Mommy" Maddie said "She's cheering you on."

Jack smiled watching the old soccer game from a what seemed like a few days ago but seeing his reflection in the window he could tell that he was older.

"Maddie?" Jack asked "How old am I?"

Maddie turned to face Jack, "You're nine. Mommy's going to get your birthday present soon" Maddie whispered a smile "But I'm not suppose to tell you what it is."

Jack smiled when Maddie laid her head on the pillow next to him, causing him to look down and smile at his little sister.

"Jackie?" Maddie said looking at the screen as her eyelids felt heavy "Do you like Mommy being your Mommy?"

Jack ran his fingers through Maddie's dark locks, "I love her. She's always treated me like I'm her son."

"You are." Maddie said closing her eyes "Mommy always said she wanted a son and two daughters."

"Don't you want another brother?" Jack asked her.

Shaking her head as she whispered, "I think Mommy's going to have another baby and I want a sister so that way I can have one of each and be a good big sister like you've been a good big brother."

"I've been a good big brother?" Jack asked.

Opening her brown eyes, "You're the best big brother ever."

Jack leaned forward and kissed her forehead, "You're a great little sister."

Closing her eyes again, "Besides Daddy said he always wanted to be surrounded by brown haired girls."

Jack looked at the tv and saw Emily and his Dad picking him up cheering as he kicked the soccer ball winning the game.

"And Captain Jack scores!" Emily said on the tv "Who's my favorite little guy?"

"Me!" Jack said on the home movie.

Jack looked down to see Maddie curled up in a ball, making him smile "Night, Maddie."

"Love you, Jackie" Maddie said tiredly.


"Jack?" Hotch's voice said "Jack? You awake buddy?"

"Daddy?" Jack called out waking up in his own bed in his Dad's apartment.

Looking down he saw he was back in his own world, he saw his Dad and Emily walk into his room smiling.

"We've got some good news" Hotch said walking over to the edge of his bed.

"What?" Jack asked sitting up and looking from Hotch to Emily.

Sitting on Jack's bed, Emily looked over at Hotch who nodded, "Well... How would you feel about being a big brother?"

Jack's eyes widened in shock, and he looked over at Hotch, "Baby?"

Hotch flashed Emily a look of worry, "Jack, Emily and I are going to have a baby."

Jack's face lit up, "You're going to have a baby? Can it be a girl? I want a sister."

Emily and Hotch exchanged looks, both thinking of the little girl from their dreams. Maddie.

"Well, we'll see what we can do about that." Hotch said chuckling at Jack's excitement "So you're happy?"

Jack grinned, "Uh huh. I'm going to be the best big brother to her ever."

"That's good, sweetie" Emily said running her hand over his little head "I'm glad you're happy about the baby."

"Me too." Jack said "Are you going to marry Daddy?"

Emily's eyes widened in surprise, looking over at Hotch's dimple grin, "We'll talk about that later."

"Oh, you bet we will." Hotch said grinning coyly.

Jack just sat there smiling, thinking of the little sister he knew he was getting and who he couldn't wait to meet.
