"Agent Hotchner, do you want to hold your son?" the nurse in pale green scrubs approached him, tiny blue bundle in her arms. Aaron nodded nervously and stood stalk-still as she carefully handed him the infant. Staring down in wonder at the beautiful baby he and Haley had created, he moved the edge of the blanket a little farther away from the pink, wrinkled face.

"Hi Jack. It's your dad," he whispered with an uncharacteristically gentle voice. Gazing down into the wide hazel-green eyes that looked so much like Haleys', Aaron smiled at his son. "Haley, he's perfect."

"Isn't he?" Haley smiled tiredly from the bed, radiant despite the hair her sweat had plastered to her forehead. "Come over here. I want to see him."

Obediently, Aaron walked over to stand next to the hospital bed. Jack blinked his big doe eyes and yawned, unaware of the sense of awe he had created in the room.


A/N:

Thanks for reading, I hope you like it, and, please, tell me what you think! Good or bad!

Love, Thalia
