Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. -Helen Keller

"mine, mine, mine"said Jack as the seagulls came on to the screen of finding nemo. Hotch smiled and chuckled, Prentiss smiled and hugged Jack and the teddy Ben, even closer. Hotch's eyes kept flicking to his son and Prentiss. She sat there watching the movie with Jack, her eyes never leaving the screen.

Once the movie ended, there was a knock at the door and the call of the pizza boy.

"wow that was good timing"said Prentiss her voice very hoarse. Hotch just smiled and nodded.

"you sound thirsty, I will go get you a drink"said Jack, jumping off the sofa. As Jack speeded out of the room Prentiss slowly, the second she stepped foot in the dinning room she smiled. Jack had set out place mats and Hotch was cutting Pizza, Jack was stood on a stool pouring them all Orange juice.

"Emmy I have put you next to me and Daddy"he said, handing her a pink cup.

"thanks Jack"she smiled.

She ate silently as Jack and Hotch talked about school.

.o0o.

After dinner they decided they would watch another film before Jack went to bed.

When the film finished Hotch turned he lights back on.

"shh daddy, Emmy is asleep"whispered jack with a finger on his lips, Hotch smiled at the young boy.

"yeah lets be really quiet and put you to bed"he said. Once Hotch had tucked Jack and read him a story he went back into the living room to find Prentiss still asleep on the sofa. She looked peaceful and happy in her sleep. Hotch sighed and picked her up bridal style, before carrying her to his bed room and pulling the quilt over her, before grabbing some pillows and a blanket out of the cupboard. But gave Prentiss a kiss on the forehead before he left.

"sleep well Emily"he whispered.

.o0o.

Hotch was awoke early in the morning to Jack shaking his shoulder. the rays of sun creeped through the blinds.

"hey buddy" yawned Hotch.

"daddy Emmy is having a nightmare, she is crying in her sleep"said Jack looking sad. "she is asking for you she keeps saying, Hotch help me"he sad looking sadder.

"why don't you put on some cartoons and I will go wake Emily up"he said, Jack nodded.

"give her Ben"said Jack holding the teddy up from the crook of his arm. Hotch smiled at his son and nodded.

" I will"

.o0o.

"Emily"said Hotch shaking her shoulder. She was indeed having a nightmare, her face was red and tears streaked down it. She was mumbling pleads.

"hey, Emily its just a dream"he said as she bolted out of her sleep.

"yeah but 48 hours ago it wasn't"she sobbed. Hotch opened his arms and she fell into them, they stayed in a hug for what seemed like hours. Prentiss slowly returned to her normal breathing pattern.

"thank you"she mumbled into his grey faded sweat shirt.

"its okay"he responded. "hey why don't you changed into some of my sweats you don't look to comfy in you work clothes and come to breakfast"he offered. She nodded.

"thank"she whispered, Hotch gave her one last squeeze before letting her get changed.

.o0o.

Prentiss walked into the Hotchner kitchen to see it looked like a bomb hit, a bomb made out of flour.

"daddy said we should surprise you with pancakes"said a powdery jack, Hotch had a deep blush creeping up his face.

"thanks, Jack, thank you Ho...Aaron"she said, Hotch felt a strange tingle inside of him as she said his name.

"your welcome Emily"he smiled. "Ho...Aaron could I use your phone... I need to book an appointment with a OB/GYN"she said.

"yeah sure we have a week break from our last case anyway"he said handing her the phone as she left for his bedroom to phone the Hospital.
