Chapter 7
Okay a few notes! First, thank you everyone who's following the story! :)
So I like Hailie Hotchner so I'm keeping her. ( I like spelling Hailie like this!) Hotch and Hailie have three kids. Jack, Joelle and Jace. Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. I hope you guys like this chapter! Enjoy!
Emily's point of view:
I finally pull into Dave and Erin's driveway about twenty minutes later."Wow, nice house." Charlie commented. "Look like everyone's here." Penelope said. We walked up to their door knocked and waited until someone answered. "Hey guys! Come on in!" Dave said smiling at us. "And you gotta be Charlie, you look just like your mom." Dave commented. Charlie smiles. "Yes, I am Charlie." "I'm David Rossi." "Nice to meet you. You have a beautiful home." She said while taking off her jacket and shoes. "Come on in. Everyone's in the living room." We follow him into the living room where the rest of the group was. "Look who's here!" Dave said announcing our arrival. Everyone looked up and smiled. "Charlie?" Me and Charlie both looked over to the women holding hands with Reid. Charlie looked very surprised then she smiled. "Who's that?" I whispered. "My study hall teacher." She told me. Wow, didn't see that coming. "Izzy's your teacher?!" Penelope asked excitedly. "Yup." Charlie answered. "Oh, I didn't know you worked for the FBI Emily. Or that you were on the same team as my Spencer." I nod. "It's good to see you again!" Izzy said. I smiled politely. I have no idea who this woman is. Obviously I met her at some point though.
Charlie's point of view:
It was weird that Ms. Stevens was at their house. What's the chances that she would be here. I looked at mom who kept polite conversation with Ms. Stevens. She has no idea who she is. None. I haven't decided if I should help her or let her struggle. It is entertaining. I sigh, I guess I'll help her. "Mom, remember you've met her a few times. At conferences, umm and the night where you had to come to my school and –" "What night? She asked. I rolled my eyes. "Umm, well the night where a group us broke into the Headmaster offices… At night." She looked confused. "Bell ringing mom!" I told her. "Oh, yeah bell ringing. That's what she got in trouble for. Bell ringing. I asked her if she was at least smoking a Cuban cigar." "Yeah mom, I remember… You also saw her when I was late for the test that they wouldn't let me take. Then you freaked out and yelled at Headmaster Charleston." "I did not freak out at him!" She told me. "You called him Il Duce." I said and I hear the groups chuckle. "Which means, kind sir, in Cantonese." I smile. I turn to the group and we finished introducing each other. "Want anything to drink Charlie?" Erin asked me. I looked at mom, JJ was already getting her some punch, which probably had alcohol in it. I turned back to Erin. "Umm, do you have any coffee?" Erin nods and goes to get it for me. Aaron laughed. "You are Emily's daughter. Addicted to coffee just like Emily." I smile and nod. "So, Charlie, what school do you go to? What grade are you in? How old are you again?" Penelope asked, all those questions. "Calm down baby girl. Don't overwhelm dimples." Derek said. "Dimples?" Hailie asked. "You already got a nickname for her?" Hotch asked. Derek nods. "Of course you do." Dave said. Erin came back and gave me my coffee, I thanked her. "It's okay, I'll answer the questions. I go to Chilton and I'm in 11th grade. Oh and I'll be sixteen on October 14th." "October 14th, that's coming up! What are you gonna do for your birthday?" Hailie asked. "Well moms birthday is two days before mine, so we always have a party together with the town. Then we do our own things. I have a party with my friends and mom has her. Last years party was a lot of fun! Right mom?" Mom frowned. "Yeah…I think so." I smile. "You don't know?" Reid asked. "I don't remember." Mom said. "Yeah, mom's big birthday was last year, thirty." I told them. "Yeah, it only goes down from there." Mom said then taking a sip of my coffee. I rolled my eyes. The group smiles. "So, you play any sports?" JJ asked me. I looked at mom. She laughs. "Good one JJ." JJ frowns. I also laughed. "Yeah, us Prentiss' don't do sports." I tell them. "The debate team." Mom said. I frowned now. "That's not a sport." I said correcting her. "It is the way the Prentiss' play."
Charlie's point of view:
We just continued to chat until we saw a little boy run into the room, with a girl and another boy following him. "Mom! I'm trying to shoot some basketball but Joelle and Jace keep taking the ball." The oldest boy said. "Jack, why don't you play with them? They look up to you." Hailie told him. Jack rolls his eyes. "That's because they're short." "Jack." Hotch said. "Well, if they have to play, I'm not." Jack said then sat on the couch with a frown and crossed his arms. He looked at me. "Who are you?" He asked. I smile. "I'm Charlie." I told him. "Charlie? That's a weird name." "Jack! I'm sorry Charlie." Hotch said. "What? My best friends name is Charlie, and he's a boy." I smile. "That's okay. I don't mind. My real name is Charlotte but I go by Charlie." He smiles and than nods. "I get it. It's a nickname." I nod. "Yeah, my sisters name is Joelle, but she goes by Joe sometimes." "Exactly like that." Jack smiles again. He's a cute kid. He then looks at mom, then looks at me again. "Who are you? You guys look alike." He commented. I smile and look at mom. "I'm Emily. Charlie is my daughter." She told him. He nods. "I'm jack. Those annoying kids over there are my siblings. I'm the oldest, ten, Joelle is the middle and she's eight. And the youngest is Jace, he's only three." We smile at him. "It's nice to meet you Jack, and your siblings." Mom told him. Jack smiles and whispers to us. "If it was up to me, I would be an only child." We smile. "I'm gonna go watch Tv." Jack said then left the room. Joelle and Jace follow close behind him.
