''Emily wake up!'' I could feel a very damp wet cloth over my head and JJ's concerned voice.
''JJ your ruining my makeup.''I groaned and that seemed funny to her.
''Oh hello back, you fainted back at the office, we're taking you to the hospital, Hotch luckily grabbed a hold of you before you fell, you did hit the coffee table with you hard head, but thanks god it was just your hard head and not the baby that connected with the hardness of the floor.'' I was laying down, head on JJ's legs, I could hear the sirens of the SUV and a worried glancing Hotch driving.
''I'm okay, I just want to sleep a little.'' The car movement was swaying me back.
''No!''JJ yelled and that definitely woke me up.''stay awake, you may have a concussion, you stayed unconscious for a long time, we need to make sure, we don't know how that could've affect your previous injuries'' oh shit, she is right, I needed to stay awake, but it was so damn hard. We eventually got to the hospital and got checked by a nurse, she said a doctor would be in soon with results. Hotch stayed outside, feeling guilty, somehow it was his fault that I tried to jump from the couch early, JJ and Garcia were by my side.
''Emily I swear to high Jesus, if you don't stop scaring us, I will have to start spanking you everytime.''
''I'm not into that stuff P.'' I tried to make light out of the situation.
''You maybe an angel and all, but I don't think for a second what you just said, because I don't know if you have forgotten about that time when you told us about…''
''Garcia!'' I stopped her, Hotch was right there, sitting outside the door with his phone, probably playing with a non-existing game, he didn't need to know about my sexual life, even if he had already experienced it.
''Okay, I'll stop.'' She retreated back to her seat and started to hum.
''Emily… ''James, the same guy I was flirting with yesterday, barge in the room with a big smile and a big chart. That seemed to take Hotch out of trance and he decided to go inside the room too, oh great!, A protective Hotch in a room with my two very observant friend and my possible love interest in the same room.
''James…Hey what are you doing here?''
''I'm a doctor.''His smile still big, and one of his hands laid on my ankle. That made Hotch really tense.
''Oh yeah…that's true.'' I was pretty sure everybody could feel the room being crowded but nobody made a move to step out, If I could I would have left the room myself. At least James seemed oblivious to the situation.
''Jennifer nice to meet you again''He went to shake hands,''The one and only Penelope Garcia, I can truly say that I admire you from what Emily has told me about you.''Garcia went to shake hands with him too.
''Every bit is true, Mr. Doctor.''She winked at James. I rolled my eyes, seriously? Right now?.
''Agent Rossi? He directed at Hotch questionably.
''Hotchner.'' He said with a stern voice and a strong hand shake. James against wasn't too intimidated by his presence and continued.
''I looked at the charts in the lobby, and you can't imagine my surprise when I saw your name on that charge, so I decided to assign the best Doctor for you, Me.'' If looks could kill, Hotch would've murdered James already.
''At least we got to see each other Sunday, like you wanted to.'' I grimaced, it was really hard to make conversation with him with two blondes looking at him like he was a dream and Hotch trying to murder him with his eyes.
''Would have preferred dinner, well back to you lady, everything is going to be okay if you rest, your little flower is healthy too, strong heartbeat, you do have a slight concussion, so I would like to keep you overnight to check on that, it is very hot outside, and you are a little dehydrated that was probably what caused you to faint, but hopefully tomorrow I will be freeing you, at this point of your pregnancy, is better if you stay Home, can't stress too much.'' I was still feeling like I wanted to sleep, and James voice was so calm and elegant I must say, in a way that was so attractive that I wanted to sleep hearing his voice.
''Okay Doctor, I'll take care.''I giggled a little. And he gave rubbed my sore ankle for a second.
''Good, I will leave now, I have other rounds, but I guess I can see you after my shift ends.''He then took a step closer and almost whispered.''and we can have dinner together like we had planned''
''Sounds good doctor.''With that he left, and Hotch left too, he went to sit outside again.
''Dreamy!, I've would've known, I would have fainted too.'' Garcia whispered and I had to slap her arm.
''Ouch, that hurt, I may have to tell the doctor to check on me, to make sure you didn't break a bone.'' I loved Penelope but sometimes it was just too much, I wanted to make them quiet, I didn't know what to do about Hotch listing to all of this.
''Did you hear what he said Garcia, he would like to keep her overnight.''JJ was now chanting,
''Girls, why don't you leave so I can rest, baby seems to be sleeping too since she isn't tearing my skin apart right now and I would like to take advantage of that, bye. See you.''
''aw, you're not fun, okay bye.''Garcia left and JJ too, after leaving a kiss on my forehead. But Hotch stayed there, fuck, was he going to stay there all night too?
''You aren't leaving?''
''Nope, someone has to make sure everything is secured, Morgan will come later.'' I sighed and decided to really try to sleep, I managed to, for a few hours, and then the team came in to say hi and bring me stuff like a good blanket and my favorite sleepers I thanked Rossi, Hotch had left, Derek took his spot on the seat outdoor my room, late at night, we changed rooms, staff was nice enough to move me to a room that was in front of a private waiting area, that way one of the guys could sleep nearby and still watch over me.
''Honey I'm home.'' Entered a happy James with a rolling cart, those one you would see in hotel rooms.
''Funny James'' he went to kiss my cheek, Morgan was gone for a while now. And that left me and James alone.''You smell nice''
''Thank you beautiful lady, I love the smell of you too'' Usually man that were straight forward and that level of flirty with me, I would reject, but there was just something about James, handsome, funny confident and very nice guy, that would let that straight forwardness be acceptable, I didn't feel like he was an stranger that saved my life a year ago and reconnected with again yesterday. It felt like I had known him for years.
''and the food smells nice too, I didn't know hospital food could smell nice.''
''That because is not Hospital food, I went home and made a very special dinner. Left early to be honest.''
''Oh my god, you fell from heaven, that's a fact'' I smiled at him, I was pushing the remote to move myself into a sitting position.
''And you fell into a coffee table this morning, that's a fact too.'' We laughed at his comment after a second. He went to lift the cart mantel to reveal a big bouquet of flowers.
''James! You didn't have to.'' I now felt the luckiest woman alive, we then proceeded to eat and chat a little bit more about our likes and what not. I was glad that Morgan had let us have our space, it was strange I didn't see him afterwards, I was way more interested on paying attention on the delicious food James had made for me. I was into this guy now, I really didn't want to see him get hurt, I had to tell him somehow to back off for a while, we haven't caught Richard Gordon yet, he was roaming the streets probably left the country, he was an expert in his division, knew all tricks, it wouldn't be easy to find this son of a bitch unless provoked, and then the baby started to kick again, I could swear she would do this every time I thought about her father being a fucking criminal or even said something out loud about it, she would roll over and do Karate practice inside I guess.
''Ouch'' I groaned in pain when I felt her kick my ribs.
''take big breaths and it will go away.'' He took my hand in one of his and rubbed my belly like it was the most natural thing to do.
''I will sign her in a small football league, that's the first thing I'll do when she is born, I can't believe how strong her kicks are.'' James kept rubbing my belly up and down.
''She will start breaking neighbors windows and you will have to pay for it, each time, when I was kid, my mom said it would be good if I started to save money to pay for broken windows, she never once thought about confiscating my ball.''
''Then I will sign her in anger management help groups.'' The kicking had stopped thankfully. We kept chatting about his childhood a little bit more, until we noticed that it had gotten really dark out.
''Goodnight Em, nice having dinner with you, I'll see you tomorrow.''
''See you, thank you, if this doctor things doesn't work out, you can be a chef.''
''I can be both, I know of someone that would really like that.'' We say our goodbyes and he gave me a peck on the lips, butterflies were flying inside my stomach along the baby's never ending kicks. After he left, I felt lonely, I got up to go to the bathroom, that was easy, no dizziness when standing up, that was a good sign, after getting done with my business and washing my hands, it felt weird that Morgan wouldn't come back, so I went to check in the private waiting room, and to my surprise it was Hotch, he was sound sleep, I could see a bag of my favorite food place on his said and a small bouquet of my favorite flowers on the floor, I went to pick them but I retreated, know that I could no longer pick things up from the floor in my current situation, I decided to take the bag to refrigerate it and accommodated Hotch's blanket over his body, like a mother would, I felt bad about the flower's that had escaped from Hotch's hand and I decided against my best judgment and went to pick them up. Got down on my knees which was easier that crouching down and use the couch Aaron was in for support, luckily that didn't wake him up.
''Sleep tight, I'm sorry'' I whispered in the air, barely audible even for me. After I went back to my room to try and get some sleep, but I couldn't thinking about how the fuck I've gotten three man to be interested in me this bad.
END of chapter 7, my OTP is Hotch and Prentiss, but who knows! Who she will end up with? James is the perfect man, and he is deeply in love with Em, Hotch is the perfect man too, ugghhhh, If she could only end up with both of them, that would be really interesting.
