Consequences Ch. 15

AN: I know that this chapter is really late but it wasn't (and still isn't) coming out right. I am also sorry for everyone who tried to read this when I first posted it; I decided to write more so I deleted it. Last chapter worked out definitely worked out better than I thought it would. I again just want to thank everyone who has reviewed this story; without your reviews I probably would still be stuck back at chapter 5 instead of writing chapter 15.

Emily's POV

"Aaron, you need to go get your hand checked out," Emily said as they headed back to her hospital room. "Plus, you need to call the team and Jessica to tell them about the triplets."

"Are you going to be ok?" Hotch asked as they wheeled Emily into the room.

"I'll be fine. I'm probably just going to get some sleep before they bring the girls in," Emily said as Hotch sat down next to her bed. "Besides I want Jack to come meet his siblings and I also want to know if my translations helped enough to catch the guy out in Iowa."

"Promise me you'll text me when they bring the girls in," Hotch said before kissing her forehead.

"I promise. Now go before I have Ashley put a cast on it for you," Emily said with a small smile. "Let me tell you, it certainly isn't her specialty; I'm grateful that she went into obstetrics instead of orthopedics."

"Fine, but I'll be back in an hour," Hotch said as he left the room.

Hotch's POV

"Sarah, is there any way for you to get me back there quickly?" Hotch asked the nurse sitting at the counter at the front of the emergency room.

"What are you doing down here?" Sarah asked Hotch as she looked him over. "Give me your insurance cards."

"Emily, Miss Prentiss, might have broken my hand on our way to the hospital," Hotch said as he handed her his cards.

"Follow me back," Sarah said as she handed his cards back and got him settled into a room. "The doctor should be in soon."

"Can I use my cell phone in here?" Hotch asked before she left the room.

"You shouldn't but since you are an FBI agent, I'll allow it," Sarah asid. "Just make sure you're off it when the doctor comes in."

"Thank you," Hotch said as he grabbed his cell phone. "Jess, can you bring Jack up to Georgetown University Hospital? Meet me in the emergency room."

"Ok, so what did she have?" Jessica asked as she started to get Jack ready to leave the house. "How is everyone doing?"

"We have two little girls and a little boy," Hotch said as a huge smile formed on his lips. "Emily and the girls are going fine. Our little boy is currently a little small and is currently in the NICU. I'm currently getting my hand looked at, thanks to your boyfriend's suggestion."

"Ok, we'll be up there in about half an hour," Jessica said.

"Don't forget to stop at Emily's and grab her suitcase and the things for the triplets, since we didn't get a chance to grab it before heading to the hospital," Hotch said just as the doctor walked into the room. "I've got to go."

"Agent Hotchner, Sarah told me what happened. Let me look at your hand," Dr. James said as he put the file down on the counter. "It doesn't feel broken. I want to do an x-ray just to be sure. I'll get a nurse to take you down to x-ray."

"Is there any way we could use the portable x-ray machine?" Hotch asked the doctor. "I would like to be back up stairs within the next 45 minutes."

"Agent Hotchner, you have a couple visitors," Sarah said as Jack ran into the room.

"Sorry about that," Jessica said. "He was worried that you got hurt badly."

"I'm ok buddy," Hotch said as Jessica lifted Jack up onto the bed. "I just hurt my hand. The nice doctor here is going to do an x-ray to see if it's broken."

"Aunt Jess also said that you have a surprise for me," Jack said as he hugged his father's side.

"Yep, your surprise is upstairs," Hotch said as he looked at his sister-in-law. "We'll go upstairs once the doctor is done with my hand."

"Ok, I'm going to have to kick you two out for just a minute while I take the x-ray," Sarah said as she wheeled the portable x-ray machine into the room. "You'll be allowed back in just a few minutes."

"How long until I know if it's broken or not?" Hotch asked Sarah after she finished taking the x-rays.

"The radiologist has to look at it first then he'll give Dr. James his report," Sarah said. "It should only take about 15 minutes."

"Thank you for getting me through fast," Hotch said as Sarah left the room and let Jack and Jessica back in. "How much does he know?"

"He knows that Emily is pregnant but that's about it," Jessica said as they both watched Jack play with his cars.

Fifteen minutes and two x-rays later.

"You have a hairline fracture of two of your meta-carpel's," Dr. James said. "I'm going to put a brace on your hand, and then you can head back upstairs."

"Jack, we're going to head upstairs so that you can meet your two new little sisters," Hotch said as the doctor fit him for the brace.

"Little sisters?" Jack asked.

"Yea, you have two little sisters, Sophie and Chloe, and a little brother, Josh," Hotch said as Jack climbed into his lap.

"Who's their mom?" Jack asked as they headed for the elevator.

"Emily," Hotch said as they got into the elevator.

"Have you and Emily talked about what's going to happen now?" Jessica whispered to Hotch.

"Not yet," Hotch said. "She wanted me to get my hand checked out and call you guys. Did you by any chance call Dave?"

"No, I'll call him in the lounge while you take Jack to see the girls and Emily," Jessica said as they reached the fourth floor.

"Jack, we have to be quiet. Emily might be sleeping," Hotch said as they stood outside Emily's room.

As he opened the door, Aaron saw that Emily had the girls on the bed in front of her.

"I told you to call me when they brought the girls in," Hotch said as Jack ran over to the hospital bed.

"So what did I break?" Emily asked with a smirk.

"Emmy, can I see the babies?" Jack asked as he looked at them on the bed.

"Sure. Aaron, can you lift him up and put him on the end of the bed?" Emily asked as she looked at the brace on his hand. "So are you going to tell me what I broke or will I have to ask Jessica when she comes in?"

"Just two meta-carpels," Hotch said as he set Jack on the end of the bed.

AN2: I'm hoping that the next chapter comes a lot more smoothly to me. How would everyone feel about a prequel? Write in your review if you want one. I do have one planned but I'm not sure if I'm going to post or even write it.

Ch. 16 (Hopefully up by Wednesday): Hotch and Emily work out a schedule for the triplets and Josh is still in NICU.
