Author's Note: Hello my fellow FanFictioners! So, I've decided that this story is going to involve a little more Hotch now, because of the whole Jack/Emily "mommy" thing. So, I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds. I really seriously wish I did, though.

"Hello, my fine, furry friends!" Garcia greeted as she walked in with Kevin. He was looking a little nervous as he came up behind Garcia. It was obvious he was looking around for Hotch. "Hello, Kevin", Hotch shook his hand with a tight grip. Kevin's eyes widened until Hotch let go. Morgan pounded him on the back playfully. Unfortunately, for the less macho man, he went flying forward into Rossi.
"Watch out son", Rossi told him.

"Oh, uh, right, uh, sir", he stuttered. Garcia smiled lovingly.

"Hi Auntie Penelope", Jack and Henry said. Garcia smiled. "Hello little men! Look, I'm going to change, then I'll hop in there with you", she grinned. They smiled and went back to playing in the water. "Lookin' hot, Prentiss", she teased. Emily glared at her. Garcia held up her hands in surrender and went to change. Hotch took a deep breath and turned back to his barbequing. He couldn't let Emily distract him like that. I mean, that's Emily Prentiss, the kick-ass, tough woman. Yet, she had a soft, beautiful, sensitive, positively amazing side to her that he couldn't get over. The way she said his name was perfect. The way she handled Jack was stellar. The way she would make everyone laugh was amazing. He was glad that he had the chance to meet such an amazing woman.

"Hey guys", Reid's voice came from inside, snapping Hotch out of his daydream.
"Hey Spence!" JJ called from the pool. He gave a little wave. He was already in a rash guard, swim trunks, and flip-flops.

"Mind if I come in?" he asked Emily with a smile.

"I'd be offended if you didn't", she quipped with a grin. He smiled and climbed into the pool, shivering the minute the water touched his bare, white flesh.

"Oh my God, this water is freezing", he said, teeth chattering.

"Spence, this is D.C. It's like, ninety degrees out. This water should feel good", Emily said with a smile before getting out of the pool. She made her way to the guys where she poured herself a cup of water and took a sip. "Are you having fun, Hotch?" she asked him with a wink and a nod of the head towards the barbeque. He shrugged.

"I don't get out much", he chuckled. Emily patted his shoulder.

All of a sudden, loud splashes and screaming could be heard from the deeper end of the pool.

"Help! Help me!" Jack gurgled, struggling to stay above the water. Everybody looked around frantically.

Emily dropped her water and ran towards the pool just as Jack lost his breath and went under. She jumped in and opened her eyes to the stinging chlorine. She saw Jack's blurry, limp figure sinking to the bottom. She dove down, trying to ignore the pressure building in her ears. She grabbed his arm, but he slipped away. Emily was about to lose her breath. She heard her heart pounding in her ears. Finally, she got a strong grip on Jack and kicked towards the surface. As she held onto him, she gasped for air. Her head was pounding, but she managed to get Jack out of the water.

Everybody ran up. JJ placed her hands on his chest, trying desperately to feel movement.

"Oh my God, he's not breathing!" JJ screamed.

Emily quickly knelt next to Jack. She pumped his ribs, trying to get him to wake up.

"Come on baby. Come on", she mumbled, pushing on his chest. She placed her mouth on his and gave him mouth-to-mouth, but still, he didn't stir.

Tears were coming to JJ's eyes. Will pulled her in close.

"Someone call 911!" Emily screamed. Nobody moved.

"Someone call, God damn it!" she shouted. Her head was still pounding, but it didn't stop her. She got up and ran to her bag, fumbling for her phone. She punched in 911.

"Nine-one-one, what's your emergency?" a man's voice asked.

"Hi, this is SSA Emily Prentiss with the FBI. We have a little boy here that's drowned. He-he's not b-breathing. P-please. Send an am-ambulance", she stuttered.

"Yes Agent. An ambulance is on dispatch towards your location", he said before hanging up. Emily could hear the sirens in the distance. She hung up and ran back to Jack.

"Baby, come on. Stay awake until the paramedics get here, please", she whispered. She held his hand.

"Ambulance! Ambulance, please get out of the way", two men said. They brought the electric resuscitators. With every electric buzzing noise and heave of Jack's chest, more and more tears were brought to Emily's eyes. She was now bawling, hunched over on the ground.

"We need to take him to the hospital", one of the paramedics said. Hotch nodded, tears in his eyes as well. Emily quickly threw on her shirt and climbed into the car.

"E-Emily, you're not wearing any pants", he stuttered.

"I don't care. Let's go", she said to the paramedics. Hotch quickly joined her as the paramedics shut the door. Emily was trembling and Hotch pulled her in close. Her body wracked with sobs. Never had he seen this kick-ass, tough, sarcastic woman so vulnerable. There was almost childlikeness to the way she was positioned in Hotch's arms. Her head was buried in his shoulder and she was sitting in his lap. This moment would have been perfect if they weren't in an ambulance sitting next to his incapacitated son. The moment the van pulled up to the hospital, Emily flew out the back doors.

"Excuse me, miss", a nurse said, "but you cannot come into the room." The nurse had to physically hold Emily back and sit her in a lobby chair. She was shaking uncontrollably.

"Ma'am, we will let you know when anything happens. I promise", the nurse said.

As soon as the nurse left, JJ, Will, Henry, and Reid burst through the doors.

JJ held up a pair of Emily's jeans and handed them to her. Emily looked up.

"Thanks Jayje. Where's everyone else?" she asked.

"They're on the way", Reid said. He was sitting in a chair, twiddling his thumbs.

JJ sat down beside Emily and pulled her in for a hug.

"It's okay. He'll be okay. I promise", JJ whispered. She began to pet Emily's hair gently.

As JJ tried her hardest to calm Emily down, Morgan, Rossi, Kevin, and Garcia scurried quickly into the cold hospital lobby. Kevin clearly wasn't handling the situation very well. His chest heaved with his hyperventilation and his brow was gathering tiny sweat beads.

"Baby, are you okay?" Garcia asked Kevin with a lifted eyebrow. Kevin attempted to swallow and nodded.

"Yeah, uh-yeah", he mumbled. He turned away. Garcia gave Emily an apologetic smile and took Kevin by the shoulder. She walked him out to the parking lot.

Emily brushed her hand across her eyes. "Okay guys, I'm gonna go change. I'll be back", she said. JJ gave her a sympathetic look and patted her arm as she got up.

The moment Emily left, the nurse came back.

"Um, Jack Hotchner's father?" she asked. Hotch stood up and raised his hand slightly.

"Yeah, that's me", he said, voice raspy. The nurse smiled.

"Jack is going to be alright. He says he wants to see his family", she said in a kind tone.

Everyone stood up. Garcia had entered the room again. The nurse's eyebrows flew up and she held a hand out.

"I'm sorry. Family only", she said, referring to the rest of them. Emily had come back, now covered in the safety of her jeans.

Hotch frowned. "Um, we are all family", he said. The nurse accepted and led them to the room. Henry was trembling in JJ's arms. She pressed her lips to his cheek. The nurse placed her hand on the door and pushed it open. Cold air and the smell of medicine hit them.

Hotch ran up to his son, tears threatening to spill out of his eyes. Jack's lips spread into a smile once he saw his father's face.

"Daddy!" he said happily. A tear rolled down Hotch's face.

"Hey buddy. A-are you okay?" he asked, doing all he could to not break down in front of his team and son.

"Yeah. They gave me some yucky medicine, but I'm okay!" he exclaimed. He slipped his tiny hand into Hotch's.

"Jack, don't ever scare me like that again", he said, his voice quavering. Jack nodded.

"I promise, Daddy. I'll ask you to go with me in the deep end next time", he said seriously. He saw Henry and waved his hand.

"Hi Henry!" he said excitedly. Henry smiled back. The team laughed at Jack's excitement.

"I want to talk to Mommy", Jack said. Hotch nodded. He grabbed Jack's hand, but Jack raised his eyebrow.

"Daddy, what you doing?" he asked.

"We're going to talk to Mommy", Hotch said, confused.

Jack blinked.

"Not my angel mommy. That one", he said, pointing to Emily.

Garcia let out a small gasp.

"Em", JJ smiled. Morgan rubbed Emily's back. They all stepped out of the room, including Hotch.

Emily sat on the edge of the hospital bed and took Jack's hand. An IV was attached to it, so she was careful when she kissed it.

"I'm sorry, Em'ly", he said apologetically. Emily's eyes widened.

"No, no, no, Jack. Don't be sorry. There is absolutely nothing to be sorry for. This is totally not your fault", she said, trying to comfort him.

"B-but I went in the deep end without asking someone first", he said, ashamed. Emily ran her hand down his hair and down to the crook of his warm neck.

"Emily, Daddy was talking last night. I didn't want to tell you, but he was talking about a wedding", he said.

Emily didn't understand.

"Oh, you guys are going to a wedding? That's fun. Whose wedding is it?" Emily asked, utterly oblivious to what Jack was saying.

"Yours."

The End
