"Here, Em, for your hands."

Emily looked up at him, and John was glad to see something a little like annoyance in her eyes. "Don't call me 'Em'. " She snapped, taking the Kleenex. She switched to Italian to say sharply, "You lost any right to familiarity with me a long time ago."

Dr. Reid and one of the other agents, Rossi, looked over at them. "I know you're worried." John murmured. "And – I really am sorry. For everything."

"Yeah? Well, you'll be a lot sorrier if Leah doesn't make it off the table."

"She's your daughter. She'll make it through just fine." John reassured, trying to ignore the pointed glare that Emily's irate fiancé, Agent Hotchner, was giving him.

Just then, one of the nurses, Judy, burst into the room.

"What's wrong?" John asked anxiously.

"Leah and the babies." Judy was panting from her dash to the waiting room.


Please review! You'll make my day (really, I'm not just saying that)! Thanks to everyone who had read and reviewed. It means a lot that you all have stuck and/or put up with me for this long. :)
