Epilogue

She was reading at home while the kids were in bed including Jack and Anna. Anna was in her third trimester so was tired a lot but Emily was always there to help. Jack was turning out great with his pregnant girlfriend and she knew when the time came he was going to make a great dad. He had the greatest example she thought as she sat there waiting or her husband of five years to arrive home from his latest case.

She heard the footsteps of tiny feet and her three year old poked her head round the door. She smiled at her assuring everything was ok if she'd had a bad dream and Daisy ran to her. Emily pulled her up onto her lap and ran her fingers through her long hair.

"Why are you still up, sweetie?" she asked.

"When's daddy coming home," she answered quietly. She'd always been a daddy's girl and really missed him when he was away.

"He should be coming home within the next hour."

"Can I wait for him with you?"

"Sure," she answered kissing her hair. If it was her nine year old daughter or thirteen year old son it would have been a different story. They had school in the morning.

She smiled up at her and turned her head into her chest.

Sometime later she heard his key in the door and looked down to see her youngest daughter was asleep. She smiled at her kissing her forehead. She'd tried so hard to stay awake to see daddy.

She heard the door open and looked up to see her beloved husband. She picked up their baby girl trying hard not to wake her up and went over to him and played with his hair kissing his cheek.

"Welcome home, honey," she smiled.

"Thanks darling," he smiled back kissing hers. He then smiled down at his daughter.

"She tried really hard to stay up to see you when you got home. She's been excited ever since I told her you were coming home."

He smiled up at her then back down at his daughter kissing her hair which unfortunately stirred her awake. "Daddy," she exclaimed when she looked up at him.

"Hey sunshine, shall we get you back to bed?"

She nodded saying, "I tired."

"Alright then it looks like we need to get a sleeping beauty back to bed then."

She smiled sleepily then yawned as mummy gave her to daddy and he held her close carrying her upstairs while she rested her head on his shoulder. Emily smiled watching them feeling incredibly lucky that she'd been married to this wonderful man for five years and that they had another child together.

They'd take whatever life threw at them including their first grandchild. Talking of grandchildren Harriet Haley Hotchner was born to a seventeen year old Jack and Anna eight weeks later.
