Thank you all for reading a reviewing that last chapter. I'm sorry, but the following chapter you are about to read is extremely short. It would have been longer, but I couldn't think of much to add to it. I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: I only own the baby in this chapter. Everyone else belongs to CBS.


"True remorse is never just regret over consequence; it is a regret over motive." ~Mignon McLaughlin


The following day came around and Hotch was sitting by Jack's bedside, holding his hand. The top of Jack's head is wrapped in a bandaged. Hotch couldn't sleep at all the previous night. Neither did Emily. The two of them were too worried about Jack and their new baby daughter. How could anyone sleep with two of their children in peril?

"I'm so sorry this happened to you. If you survive this, I promise I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you. A parent is supposed to protect their children, not put them in danger. I want to thank you for being so brave for your little brother. I know Cade probably doesn't understand any of this, but someday he will and he will be grateful that you risked your life to save his. He's at JJ and Will's house right now. They're going to take care of him until you get better. Henry's really happy to have a playmate over for awhile. You have a new baby sister. She's very tiny, but also very adorable. She doesn't have a name yet, but she'll get one. Emily and I want her to have a name that means something. No matter how strange it may be. You have to survive because she's going to need both her brothers."

Hotch then broke down in tears. He promised himself he wouldn't cry while visiting his son, but that was one promise he couldn't keep.

"Please come back to us!" Hotch whispered as he kissed his son's forehead.

Emily sat by the incubator that held her tiny newborn daughter. The baby had just had her first open heart surgery. There are various wires attached to the baby.

"You were very brave during your surgery. I think you're stronger than everyone believes. You don't have a name yet, but don't worry, you'll get one soon. I promise. I wish I could hold you, but the doctor says it's too soon. You have two brothers. First there's Jack. He's seven years old and he's the bravest little boy, you'll ever meet. He's going to be so happy when he finds out he has a little sister. Then there's Cade. He's only fourteen months old, but he's very sweet and loveable. Don't be alarmed if he seems a little jealous of you at first, but you'll grow on him. I'm sorry you had to come into this world so early. I was so afraid of having a daughter, but now I'm afraid of losing you. You really need to survive. You survived a day in this world so far and I know you can survive more days. You just have to fight. Hey I think I finally have a name for you; Aarily Jacklynn Cadence Hotchner. What do you think of that? I think it's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl like you."


End of chapter six. I know I'll probably be getting a lot of hate on the baby's name, but you're just going to have to realize and accept the fact that not everyone in the world is going to have a normal name like Andrew or Kate or whatever other name is deemed to be "Normal." I happen to believe the name is creative and unique and I'm not afraid to be creative. I'd love to know what you thought of this chapter. I'm sorry it's short, but I just couldn't think of anything else to add to it. I just have one more chapter left, and I hope you stay until the very end of the story. But if you choose to leave the story, then you'll never know the fates of Jack and Aarily. I'll have the final chapter posted as soon as I can.
