"In the end, everything will be okay. If it's not okay, it's not yet the end." ~Fernando Sabino

Everyone, along with Jessica was waiting anxiously in the hospital visitors lounge, on the conditions of Jack, Emily and the unborn baby. No one could believe JJ and Reid when they told them that Jack was still breathing when they found him. After Cade had been checked out, Hotch sent him home with Will. An A.P.B. was sent out for Ted Russell. A while later, Hotch's cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Agent Hotchner, it's me, Anderson. I just wanted to tell you that Ted Russell is dead. There was a police chase and he drove his car into a tree. We're thinking it may have been suicide."

"Thanks for the update." Hotch said.

"You're welcome. Hey, I'm sorry for what you're going through. I really hope Emily, Jack and the baby make it." Anderson said.

"That's what we're all hoping for."

As Jack lay unconscious on the operating table, a group of doctors were working on removing the bullet from his brain. There was blood everywhere on the bed sheets.

"We need to work faster. His heart rate is dropping rapidly." A doctor said.

"If we work too fast, we could end up causing this kid to have permanent brain damage." Another doctor said.

Elsewhere in the hospital in the maternity ward, Emily lay unconscious on a table. Doctors were working frantically on saving her and the baby. She has lost a large amount of blood. An emergency c-section was quickly, but carefully performed on her and a very tiny, blue and motionless baby was taken from her uterus. The umbilical cord was tightly wound around the baby's neck. The doctors soon remove it from the baby's neck. No sound was coming from it. While the rest of the doctors tend to Emily, three doctors took the newborn out of the side of the room and work to save it. Soon, the baby let out a very small, but audible cry.

Hotch was standing by the window in the visitors lounge. He was so focused on the window that he didn't even hear JJ behind him, until she tapped him on the shoulder.

"Aaron?"

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were here." Hotch said as he turned to face his friend. "Did you call Will and ask how Cade was doing?"

"Yes I called him and he said Cade's doing fine. He was a little scared at first, but then Henry gave him one of his stuffed animals and told him everything was going to be okay." JJ said.

"That was nice of Henry. I'm sure Cade really appreciated that." Hotch said.

The next few moments were silent until JJ said something.

"Hotch, I know there's probably nothing, but is there anything I can do for you?"

"Actually there is something you can do. Can you call Sean and Elizabeth for me? They don't know about any of this, yet."

"I'll do that right now." JJ said as she exited the room.

About five minutes later, a doctor enters the room and asks to speak with Aaron Hotchner. Hotch and the team approaches the doctor.

"How is my son?" asked Hotch with a worried expression on his face.

"Mr. Hotchner, we were able to remove the bullet from Jack's brain, but he's in a coma. His chances of survival are very slim. If he does wake up, he may never be the same again. I'm sorry."

JJ returned about ten minutes later and Reid filled her in about what was going on with Jack. Moments later, another doctor walks in and asks to speak with Aaron Hotchner. Hotch and the team approaches him."

"How's my wife?" asked Hotch.

"Mr. Hotchner, your wife gave birth to a baby girl. Emily did lose an extreme amount of blood, but we were able to stabilize her. She's going to be fine."

"And what about the baby? Is she going to be okay?" asked Hotch.

"Mr. Hotchner, please understand that she was born while your wife was only five months pregnant with her. Her weight is only one pound and her lungs are not fully developed. We had to hook her up to various machines. If she survives, your daughter may never live a normal life."

"Are you suggesting I take her off the machines?" asked Hotch.

"I'm not suggesting anything. I'm just saying that if she survives, she'll need a lot of surgeries in the future. You need to consider your options."

"The doctor then left the room and Hotch sank to the floor and began to sob. His friends were surrounding him.

"I can't lose both my son and daughter."

Rossi knelt beside Hotch and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Aaron, if any child can survive, it's definitely Jack and your little girl. They're going to get through this."

"But what if they don't survive? How am I supposed to bury two of my kids?"

"There have been countless kids who have been in the same situations as Jack and your little girl and they've beaten the odds. You can't lose hope yet." Morgan said.

Emily lay in her bed, staring at the large window. The doctors had just informed her about her baby girl. Her face held a blank expression as she looked out the window. She was so deep in thought; she didn't even hear her husband and friends enter the room. Hotch picked up her hand and she tore her gaze from the window.

"They told me about Jack and the baby." Hotch said.

"I've been told about the baby, but I haven't been told about Jack yet. How is he?" asked Emily.

Hotch retold the story of what the doctor had told him and when he finished, Emily burst into tears. Hotch couldn't control his crying either. Their friends looked on with tears in the eyes too, feeling completely helpless.

End of chapter five. Please tell me what you thought. Chapter six will be up soon.
