Hotch smiled as he watched Emily sleeping, he couldn't believe how much everybody had been through the past several days, he looked over his shoulder just as the gurney carrying Jack was wheeled into the room. He got up and walked over and kissed his son on the forehead and said, "daddy's here buddy,
daddy's here".
Hotch sat down beside Jacks bed and gave a silent thanks to God for keeping Jack, Emily and Penelope alive, now he was waiting on his son to open his bright beautiful eyes and say hi daddy and then his day would be alot better. Emily opened her eyes a few minutes later and grinned as she saw the love of her life sleeping peacefully with their sons hand in his.
Fran looked up from his knitting to see her son sleeping with his head on the pillow beside his baby girl, she shook her head and smiled and was glad that he had finally found someone that he loves with his entire heart. Fran looked up when she saw JJ and walking into the room, she said,
"still nothing from Penelope since a she opened her eyes a few hours ago".
Dr. Smith checked her chart and said, "well it could take a couple of days before she is fully awake, but rest is the best thing for her now", Fran and JJ nodded in agreement as the doctor checked her machines. JJ walked over and sat down beside Fran and said, "how has he been holding up"?, she laid her knitting down in her lap and said, "he talked about her all night, talking about how much he loves her and he keeps talking about how just as soon as she wakes up he is gonna ask her to marry him".
JJ grinned and said, "they have been through so much"?, Fran looked at her and said, "like what honey"?, JJ sighed and said, "well her getting shot,
him driving an amublance through town with a bomb in the back". Fran grinned and said, "I remember him telling me about that, wasn't that when he called her his God given solace"?, she smlied and shook her head yes.
Fran glanced over at her baby boy and said, "I know that he has always loved Penelope, because when he would visit me it would be baby girl this and goddess that and he always has a smile on his face when he talks about her". JJ put her hand on Frans and said, "and let's not forget the Tamara Barnes, Jordan Todd and Kevin Lynch drama".
Derek moaned and started moving around, Fran said, "he came to visit me right after the Tamara Barnes stuff and he was devastated because he was so afraid that he had lost the best thing in his life". JJ laid her head back against the chair and said, "I think they have held each others heart since the first day they met", Fran nodded in agreement.
Hotch and Emily were waiting patiently for Jack to wake up, Emily opened her eyes and moved her shoulder and moaned as a sharp pain shot through her shoulder and down her arm. Hotch looked up and said, "take it easy Emily, your still recovering remember"?, she looked at him and said, " I guess I forgot about that", she gently rubbed her arm as she tried to raise up.
Hotch got up and walked over to her and said, "what am I gonna do with you"?, she smiled and said, "I have a few ideas and just as soon as I am healed I will be more than happy to show you". He kissed her lips gently and said, "I can hardly wait", he sat down on the bed beside her and gently wrapped his arm around her.
She sighed happily as she laid her head on his shoulder, he kissed the top of her head and said, "I hope that PG is gonna be alright", Hotch yawned and said, "JJ texted me a few minutes ago and said, that she woke up for a couple of minutes and then has been asleep ever since". Emily smiled and said, "rest is the best thing for her right now", he smiled and shook his head in agreement.
Fran sighed as she took a sip of her tea and said, "I wonder how much longer she is gonna be sleeping"?, JJ smiled and said, "it's hard to tell but according to what the doctor said, she could come off that machine later today or tomorrow". Fran picked her knitting needles up and started working again.
JJ stood up and walked across the room and said,"oh I forgot to ask, what are you working on"?, she grinned and said, "a baby blanket for Derek and Penelope". JJ turned around and said, "what?, is Pen pregnant"?, Fran laughed and said, "no not yet but I can always hope, right"?, JJ laughed and said, "that's true Fran".
Hotch kissed the top of Emilys head and said, "I think I am gonna go get you something for your shoulder", she smiled and said, "thank you honey", he grinned as he walked out of the room. Emily walked over to her sons bedside and gently brushed his hair to the side, she leaned down and kissed him on the forehead and said, "I love you Jack".
She then turned and walked over to the other side of the bed and she got the greatest gift when she heard her son say, "I love you to Emmy"
