Emily leaned down and kissed his forehead and said, "how are you feeling sweetie"?, he weakly smiled and said, "I'm tired and my head hurts but I'm good Emmy". She gently pushed his hair to the side and said, "I'm glad to hear that buddy because you had us all scared", he turned his head and said,
"where's daddy"?, she moved to quickly and said, "he's gone to get me somthing for my shoulder, he will be back in a few minutes".
Derek sat by Penelopes bedside all the time, he never left her side, he was afraid that if he left she would wake up and be scared and the last thing he wanted was for his goddess to be scared. Fran put her knitting down and walked over and said, "honey why don't you go get something to eat or just take a walk". He looked at her and said, "I don't want to leave her alone momma", Fran smiled and said, "I will be here with her baby boy, I promise you that she won't be alone".
Derek looked at her and said, "well I could use a cup of coffee, he kissed his moms cheek and said, "I love you momma", she smiled and said, "I love you to sweetie". Derek smiled as he headed towards the door, he turned and looked at Pen one final time before walking out the door, once he got on the other side of the door, he felt empty and all he wanted was to run back inside and touch Pens hand but he knew that if anything happened that his mom would call him.
Hotch walked back into Jack and Emilys room with a nurse right behind him, she walked over and said, " tells me that you are having alot of pain in that shoulder Ms. Prentiss". She rubbed her shoulder and said, "yes, it is hurting pretty bad right now", she reached her a pain pill and said, "this should kick in and start helping in a few minutes".
Emily nodded and said, "thank you", she smiled and said, "your welcome Ms. Prentiss", Hotch looked down and saw that Jack was awake and said, "hey buddy, how are you doing"?, he laughed and said, "I'm tired and my head hurts but I'm gonna be ok daddy". Hotch sat down by Jacks bed and said, "buddy me and Emily need to talk to you about something".
Jack looked up at them and waited as Hotch prepared to talk, Hotch said, "do you remember how I told you about how special you are"? Jack looked up into his daddys eyes and said, "you mean where you told me I was dopted"?, Hotch laughed and said, "adopted, about how you were adopted". Jack smiled and said, "that's what I said daddy, about me being dopted".
He put Jacks hand in his and said, "well do you remember that I told you that mommy wasn't your real mommy but that she loved you as if your were her own"?, he nodded his head yes. Hotch reached over and put Emilys hand in his and said, "after you got hurt daddy found something out", Jack blinked his eyes and said, "what did you find out daddy"?, He looked down at his small son and said, "I found your real mommy", Jacks eyes got big as he heard his dad talk.
Jack said, "you finded my real mommy"?, Hotch nodded his head and said, "I sure did buddy", Jack smiled and said, "where is my real mommy"?, "why is she not with me"?, Hotch smiled and said, "she is here with you Jack". He looked at Emily and said, "are you my mommy Emmy"?, are you like my real mommy"?, she smiled as she caressed his cheek and said, "I am Jack, I am your real mommy".
Jack smiled and said, "do you love me Emmy"?, she squeezed his hand and said, "I do buddy, I love you with all my heart", he said, "since your my real mommy does this mean that you are gonna marry my daddy so that we can be a real family"?, she kissed his cheek and said, "that's what it means buddy,
we are gonna be a real family".
Jack grinned and said, "is it ok if I call you momma"?, Emily felt her heart beat faster and faster, she smiled and said,"you can call me momma if you want to Jack". He looked at Hotch and said, "I am the luckiest boy in the world, I have my mommy, my real mommy and my daddy and we are gonna be a real family".
Hotch kissed his sons hand and said, "we are gonna be a real family buddy, just as soon as Emily is able to travel back to Virginia", he looked at Emlly and said, "momma can you sit with me and tell me a story"?, she smiled and said, "I sure can buddy, what story would you like to hear", Jack yawned and said, "prise me momma".
Hotchs stood there smiling happily as he watched his future wife telling their son a story, he couldn't imagine being any happier than he was right now. He could stand there and watch Emily with Jack and see other little kids running around, he could see other boys that look like him and her both and he couldn't wait for a life together with Emily and Jack.
Fran walked over and sat down by Penelope and put gently picked up her hand and put it in hers and said, "my baby boy loves you with all his heart and you need to come back to him". She wiped away a tear and said, "you need to come back and accept his proposal and marry him so the two of you can start working on my grandbabies".
Penelopes heart monitor started going crazy, Fran stood up and saw that Penelopes eyes were opening, she said, "take it easy honey, your alright, your here and your safe". Fran pushed the call light and told them that Penelope was awake, seconds later the room was filled with doctors and nurses, she sighed as she was asked to step outside.
She looked up and saw Derek heading up the hall, when Derek saw his mom out in the hall he started running towards her, when he got close he said,
"what's wrong momma"?, she hugged him and said, "Penelope is awake son, she is awake", Derek looked up and said, "thank you God, thank you", they both stood there waiting patiently for the doctor to come out and give them news about Penelope.
