Taken

They'd all settled into America a year later and Emily didn't even really miss Daniel as much as she had when he died. They all just felt more like a family now they all lived together permanently. Though they would never let them forget Daniel Adam and Lucy even called him daddy now. Aaron had introduced them to using candles to talk to Daniel like he had with jack over Haley. Jack was being a really good and protective big brother. Adam and Emily had healed perfectly. Adam had settled into school making friends though he was in a class of children a year older due to having started school in England. Lucy had also managed to settle into preschool and make friends. Emily and Aaron were so happy they'd made friends and felt more than comfortable raising the children together.

Emily even sometimes wondered what it would be like to be his. She missed him when he went away on cases and always prayed he would come home safely. It felt like a family and she now thought of him more than Daniel though she felt a bit guilty she hardly ever thought of her dead husband anymore. She was happiest here raising her kids with Aaron now and he treated them both like his own not just their son.

She went to pick up Adam from school as usual after having picked up Lucy from pre-school. She was a little late and noticed a lot of his fellow classmate's parents looked shocked and ashen. Oh god! What had happened? She knew it was Adam's class.

She went up to a parent she had made good friends with and asked, "Andrea, what's happened?"

"We were told Michael's and Adam's class was taken for an unauthorised field trip this morning and haven't returned," she answered grief-stricken.

"No!" she added on the verge of tears. "No!" it couldn't be. Someone had taken her Adam. The son that when he'd been born she'd done absolutely everything to protect. They had to find him and they had to find him alive. There was one team she knew she could rely on to find her son and the leader would do everything in his power to find their little boy.

She called up her best friend and he answered straight away, "Hotchner?"

"Aaron," she answered wobbly.

His heart leapt into his throat as he knew something was seriously wrong if it had upset Emily. He hoped nothing had happened to one of the kids. "Em, what is it?" he asked concerned.

"I think you may have a new case..." How was she going to tell him? This was the boy he'd almost killed himself over because he thought he'd never have access to him now he'd been kidnapped.

He was taken aback and wondered what the hell she meant as his heart raced faster. She swallowed the lump and went for it. This wasn't just the father of her child but the leader of the most elite profilers in the country. If anyone could find the children it was them. "Adam and his class have been taken..."

"What?" he answered alarmed.

"I got here to pick him up to find a supply teacher took them on an unauthorised trip this morning and no-one's heard from them since. Aaron, our son's been taken."

"Emily," he said trying to keep calm. Oh god, his son had been kidnapped. Some bloody supply teacher had taken his little boy. He'd take them to court for this. No-one hurt his children or his Emily and got away with it. "Can you get all the parents and head teacher to come here for questioning? Perhaps the secretary too. I'll put together a case and we will find him, Emily, we will find him."

"Ok," she answered hanging up so they could both get to work. She did as he said and charmed them all into going to the BAU.
