Chapter 12

No ones pov
The Hotchner household was peacefully sleeping or at least for Hotch and Emily. They were peacefully wrapped in each other's arms. JJ and Reid were sweating little beads of sweat on their foreheads, arms and legs. They were having a nightmare only that they couldn't get out of it.

I woke up with a heavy weight around my arm around my waist and someone breathing into my hair. Smiling from last night events I turned around. Hotch woke up from my movements and leaned down to kiss me not caring about my morning breath. I smiled into the kiss and next thing you know I'm straddling him and he was pushed up against the headboard.
"Wow," I said leaning my forehead on his with his arms wrapped around me.
"Mmm we have to get up because the kids will be up soon," he said nudging me as I looked over to the clock. With one final kiss I got up. Pulling out of bed we brush our teeth and got ready for the day.
"Hey do you notice how quiet it is?" I asked as I passed so eggs to him.
"Yes you're right, it really is," he said cracking the eggs into the bowl while I started making pancakes.
"What time do you think the kids would wake up for breakfast? It's kind of getting late, normally they wake up earlier..." I said looking at him. Turning off the stove, he moved over to were I was and wrapped his arms around me in a hug.
"Em, they're going to be okay," he said as I buried my face into his chest and wrapping my arms around him. We stayed there for five minutes before we finished cooking so breakfast.
"Come on let's bring breakfast to the kids," I said as I prepared two big plates for all of us to eat in bed.
"Shouldn't we be getting breakfast in bed. We are the oldest ones," Hotch said trying to snatch some bacon, but I slapped his hand away. Looking surprised at me. I just shrugged.
Walking up the stairs each of us holding a tray we
walk into the kids room, seeing them struggling in sleep. Rushing forward, I put down my tray and quickly went to over to JJ while Hotch went to Reid.
We shook them and it took them a while to wake up, but when they did, they had this far way look.
"Reid JJ are you guys okay," Hotch said holding Reid noticing that he was sweaty. I pushed JJ's sweaty hair back as she clung to me.
"Mama and daddy," they replied back. I look at Hotch with a confused and surprised face and he looked the same too.
"What do you mean 'mama and daddy', it's me Emily and Hotch don't you remember. Do you guys remember anything that has been going on," I saw pushing JJ a bit back to see how she was looking. She looked awfully sweaty and sick and Reid didn't look much better.
"No you're mama and that's dada," JJ said looking at me with her big blue eyes. Hate to admit during this confusion she still looks so adorable. Not knowing how to respond I just nodded.
"How about we go into my room and let's eat breakfast," suggested Hotch. Reid and JJ ran to his room while we stayed back.
"Hotch, what's going on what's happening?" I asked.
Scratching his head, "I don't know, but let's take them to the doctors and figure out what's going on." For the rest of the morning and early afternoon, we stayed in Hotch's bed eating breakfast which managed to get syrup on Hotch's nose and Reid's forehead. That made everyone clean up and head for the showers. After my shower, I made the doctors appointment with the doctor, specifically working on their case, explaining what is happening. He said to bring them down as soon as possible.
Pulling down JJ shirt, I noticed how big her clothes were getting. It made me wonder if Reid's clothes were are a bit big on him.
"Come on peanut we're going somewhere today," I said brushing her hair into pigtails.
"Where we goin?" she asked putting her hands out which means to carry hair.
"We are going to the doctors and a trip to the ice cream shop," I said as we walked downstairs where we see Hotch and Reid putting their shoes on.
Putting JJ down, I asked, "Are we ready to go." Taking the kids hands and walking out the door leaving Hotch to close.
We helped them buckle up in their booster seats and we were off to the doctors.
"Jennifer and Spencer Hotchner" the nurse calling them. Hotch looked over to me wondering about their last names. I gave him a look saying 'I'll explain later.'
They were weighed and measured, but it was interesting they lost weight and shrunk. I shot a worried look to Hotch as we were bought into a room waiting for the doctor.
"They're going to be fine," he assured as he carried both of them to sit on the bed. Grabbing my hand softly and moving me to sit on the chairs.
A few moments the doctor came in, "Hey guys how are you feeling and doing?"
"We were doing fine eating healthy and no one has been feeling sick, until this morning they woke up sweaty and smaller than they were the day before," Hotch said as he looked at JJ and Reid.
The doctor just nodded and check to see if they have any fevers, but everything looked fine. He asked them a few questions which they nervously answered.
"Well everything seems fine. They are perfectly healthy, but the problem is whatever the bad guy injected them with is still making them small. Instead of being four years old, they're are three years old. I'm impressed about the way they speak very smart. Don't be surprise if they call you mommy or daddy they forgot that their adults. I don't believe that they remember and since they see you as parents, they're going to call you those names. Well do you have any questions?" he asked as he went back to his computer.
I just looked at Hotch who looked surprised and judging by look the doctor says, "Oh it's nothing to worry about. Although the vaccine at this moment is taken longer than expect. You do need to try it on practice tests, but we aren't very far in so it might take awhile."
"Um ah I think you answered everything for now. If i have any questions or concerns I can just call you right," I said as he got up ready to leave.
"Of course you have my numbers. Bye Jennifer and Spencer make sure you eat your veggies," he said giving a small wave then walking out the door. I took a deep breath and looked at Hotch, who opened his arms up for me to step in.
I quickly step in wrapping my arms around his neck while his moves to my waist. He just keep reassuring. We stood there for what it seemed eternity, but in reality it was about a 1 minute due to the kids.
"Come on let's have a nice relaxing day. I just want to be off our phones. We can call the team over to tell them the news. I just want it to be us for today," I said helping the kids down.
Hotch nodded and agreed, "Let's go get that ice cream you promised."
We exited out the doctors offices and drove to the ice cream shop. We order our ice cream and had a walk around the park. The kids didn't seem to noticed what really happened, but it felt weird being called 'mama.' The rest of the day we spent outside before watching a movie all snuggled up on the couch. We tucked them into bed.
Hotch and I went to bed, but stayed up watching some tv. He mumbled into my ear "You look good
as mommy. You'll be a good mom one day."
I blushed and said, "You'll be a good daddy too. They both have you wrapped around their fingers."
He just chuckled and pulled me closer to him pressing some kisses to my head. We shut the tv off and fell asleep.
