It was very easy to convince Aaron and Riley to go to the fair later that night. They called Haley and she was okay with Jack and Riley staying an extra day so they could go see Emily's ultrasound. They all had a good time at the fair. They met up with Reid and Catherine and Jack couldn't stop laughing about the fact that "Mr. Spencer got beated at all the games by a girl!"
Emily's ultrasound was scheduled for eleven in the afternoon. They all arrived on time and they got called into the room.
"I want a girl and a boy." Jack said for the hundredth time.
"That would work for me." Emily agreed.
"As long as they're healthy, I don't care." Hotch said as he kissed Emily's hand.
"Liar." Riley laughed.
"What do you mean?" Hotch asked.
"You totally have a preference." Riley said.
"Okay, so I've had easier times with boys so far..." Hotch said and Riley pretended to look shocked.
"Rude! Just for that, I hope you have two girls."
"Girls are a pain in the ass." Emily laughed. "I should know, I was one."
"Are boys a pain in the ass?" Jack asked.
"Oh, honey. Ass is a bad word. Sorry I used it." Emily said. "And no, you're not a pain."
"Yes!" Jack jumped up and clapped his hands.
"I'm not even going to ask." Riley laughed.
"I wouldn't if I were you." Hotch agreed and Riley punched him gently in the arm. Dr. Gables came into the room soon after.
"Hello everybody. How are you all?" She asked cheerfully.
"We're okay." Hotch answered for all of them. "And yourself?"
"Dandy." Dr. Gables responded as she looked through the contents of Emily's file. "Alright, so last time we talked, you were having some issues with morning sickness. Am I right?"
"Morning sickness, afternoon sickness, night sickness. Whatever you want to call it." Emily said sarcastically.
"Okay, so it was bad." Dr. Gables giggled. "Are you doing any better?"
"Much. I'm still sick sometimes, but rarely."
"That's great. So today we're here for a check up?"
"Yep." Emily said.
"And do you want to know the sexes of the babies?" She asked.
"For sure." Riley answered.
"Hey, peanut gallery. Zip it." Aaron said to Riley.
"Ignore them." Emily suggested. "But yes please. I want to know the sexes."
"Lift up your shirt." Dr. Gables commanded and Emily did what she said.
"Shesh, she didn't even buy her dinner yet." Riley joked.
"You'll have to excuse my daughter. She has a dirty teenage mind." Aaron said as he elbowed his daughter.
"It's fine. It was funny."
"Don't encourage her." Hotch advised. "She gets worse when she thinks she's funny."
"Hey!" Riley said, sounding offended.
"You guys are funny." Dr. Gables said. "A really cute family."
"Thanks." Jack said, speaking out finally. He was presently immersed in the DS game he brought.
"Here we go." Dr. Gables said as she put the gel onto Emily's stomach. She flinched when it touched her because it was cold. "This is baby A."
"Daddy, is Emmy having an ALIEN?" Jack exclaimed. Everybody laughed.
"No buddy. That's what babies look like when they're in their mommy's tummies." Hotch explained.
"Oh."
"Baby A is a boy." Dr. Gables said.
"A boy?" Emily exclaimed happily. "I'm having a boy?"
"Our son!" Hotch said happily.
"Yeah, and this is baby B."
"I can't believe I'm having a son!" Emily said, through the tears that fell down her face. Hotch's eyes were full of tears as well, but he was attempting to not cry in front of everyone.
"And a daughter."
"What?" Emily exclaimed.
"Baby B is a girl." Dr. Gables said.
"A daughter and a son?" Emily exclaimed before bursting into full sobs.
"Wow." Hotch breathed.
"Congrats!" Riley said happily as she hugged her father.
"Yay! I knew it! One of each!" Jack said, jumping out of his seat. Hotch kissed both of his children on the head, and he turned to kiss Emily. She attempted to speak to him but she was crying so hard, her words became inaudible.
"I don't know what you said." Hotch laughed as he finally let a tear fall.
"I said," Emily took a deep breath and tried to talk again. "Holey shit, I'm having a boy and a girl."
"An appropriate reaction." Riley laughed.
"Our very own babies!" Emily said.
"We've got to start thinking of names." Riley said when they returned home. They were sitting in the living room, looking at the pictures they got of the two babies. Hotch and Emily almost couldn't wait to go to work on Monday. They were super excited to tell the team about the sexes. Especially Emily. After her abortion, she felt like she didn't deserve children. Some days she felt so down about it, she felt like she didn't deserve a family at all. Yet, there she was. With her very own family. Her very own happy family. She had her fiancé who she loved more than anything. She had her soon to be step children who she loved as if they were her own, and she was going to have her twins soon. Her life had turned out so well and she couldn't believe it.
"Already?" Jack asked. "Doesn't it take a long time for babies to get born?"
"Yep." Emily said as she played with Jack's DS. "But the time goes by quickly."
"Are you seriously playing Jack's DS?" Hotch asked while laughing.
"He has Super Mario." Emily shrugged.
"Names!" Riley said.
"Jeez, one track mind much?" Emily said.
"I'm just excited." Riley said. "I want more siblings."
"I know you're excited." Hotch laughed. "What about you Jack? Are you excited?"
"I guess." Jack sighed.
"You guess?" Hotch asked.
"I guess." Jack repeated.
"What's wrong buddy?" Hotch asked.
"Nothing. I just don't want you to love the babies more than me."
"Why would you think that?" Hotch asked.
"They're new. You don't know them. You already know me." Jack sighed.
"Jack, I do know you. That means I've had you for six years. Jack, I love you so much bud. You're my Jack. I will love the babies very much, but I won't love them like I love you. Just like I love Riley different than I love you." Hotch said.
"I don't understand." Jack said.
"Well, I can't love you the same way as Riley. You guys are different people so I have to love you different. Do you get it now?"
"Since the babies aren't Jack, you can't love them like you love me?" Jack asked sounding shocked.
"Exactly. You're so smart." Hotch said.
"Wow!" Jack said. "I didn't know you could love everyone differently!"
"Pretty cool, isn't it?" Hotch laughed.
"Super cool! Can we name the baby Iron Man?" Jack asked suddenly.
"I thought you wanted Batman?" Emily asked.
"Iron Man is cooler now Emmy." Jack said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Right." Emily laughed.
"Well, I don't know yet buddy." Hotch said. "The babies won't be super heroes, so maybe we shouldn't give them those names?"
"Oh. You're right daddy." Jack said. "How about Ben?"
"Hum. I like Ben." Emily said.
"Where did you get that name?" Hotch asked. He assumed it must be some hero. Jack was on a hero kick at the moment.
"Ben 10! The alien hunter!" Jack said as he jumped up and performed a few karate moves that he made up.
"What about the girl baby?" Riley asked Jack.
"Cootie-Face." He said.
"That's not nice!" Riley laughed. "I'm a girl."
"No, you're my sister. You're not a real girl." Jack explained. They all laughed.
"I honestly don't know about names." Hotch said. "We might have to wait."
"I guess." Riley said.
"RUN YOU ITALIAN BASTARD!" Emily yelled suddenly.
"What?" Riley asked and Emily blushed.
"I'm playing Super Mario and I died." She said quietly.
"You can't say that! The babies will hear you!" Jack exclaimed.
"You're right." Emily laughed. "Sorry."
"You'll be a great big brother Jack." Hotch said.
"Yay!" He exclaimed.
"And you'll be a great big sister." He said to Riley.
"Aren't I already?" She laughed.
"Yep." Emily said. "I'm so glad you guys are the siblings. You're the best."
