Hotchniss One-Shots

Just Like Old Time Part 2

Here's the much requested part 2 loves

As much as he hated to admit it. It had taken her being shot before he realised how much he wanted her. They had parted into teams of two. Reid and Morgan, JJ and Dave and Prentiss and Hotch. The pair had split up a soon as they reached they entered the house.

"Hotch! What was that?" Morgan yelled into his earpiece

"Shots fired!" He replied before he all but ran for her

Cautious of walking into a trap, he prepared for the worst and that's what he found. The worst possible outcome. Seeing the unsub had no sign of life he kicked the gun away from him before he crouched down next to Emily

"Agent down! I need a medic" he shouted. He felt a case of déjà vu as the images of Emily bleeding out on the wearhouse floor. Shaking the pictures out of his mind he turned his undivided attention to her

"Hey, hey, you're going to be okay. Do you hear me. Just hold on" he told her as he pushed down on stomach

"Aar" she tried speaking but she was too weak

"No, no, No!" He yelled as Morgan and Reid came rushing in

"Emily, come on, keep you're eyes open for me. Just squeeze my hand okay?"
"Good job, just like that" he whispered

"Aaron" she whimpered as her eyes fluttered

"No! Emily" hotch shouted as he lost his composure

Morgan and Reid quickly took over so hotch could move up and talk to her. They both knew right now he and Jack were the only two things that would keep her alive.

"Come on Em. Everything going to be okay, just hold on for a bit longer. Please" he pleaded, his voice barely coming out as a whisper

"Sir, you need to step away"

However Hotch refused

"Hotch man, come on, let them do their job" Morgan told Hotch as the EMs pushed her into the Ambulance

As he watched them speed away he sighed and looked down at his hands. A wave a nausea hit him and he turned to the nearest bush just in time

3 hours later - present time

"Dave, I can't do this without her" Hotch said as they sat in the waiting room, his hand in his head

"You're in love with her, aren't you" he replied more as a statement than a question

"I don't... I don't know how" Aaron started but he couldn't form his words properly

"Emily Prentiss" the doctor said as he looked up from his clip board

"How is she?" Hotch asked immediately

"Are you Aaron Hotchner?"

"Yeah, what's going on?" He questioned

"Come with me please"

Without a moment of hesitation Aaron followed the doctor. When they walked closer to her room he could hear her argue with the nurses. That's my girl. My girl? Since when was he you're girl Hotchner he thought to himself.

"Oh, Aaron thank god. Get me out of here" she begged

"Hold on Em" Hotch said seriously

As the nurses left the room in a hurry, Hotch took a seat next to Emily on a chair by the bed

"Miss Prentiss you suffered a wound to your uterus. The chances as you know were already slim for you to carry a child to term, but I'm very sorry to inform you that there is no longer a chance for you to get pregnant. I'll give you and your husband some privacy"
Before either of them could correct him, the doctor left the room. When Aaron turned to face her, he was surprised to see that she wasn't crying. He knew how much she wanted kids.

"Em?" He said grabbing her hand

"Yeah" she replied looking at him. He was clearly exhausted and she could see she stress in his tense posture

"I know it's a stupid question, but are you okay?" Aaron asked carefully moving his chair closer towards the bed

"I already accepted the possibility of me having kids as a distant possibility. I'm nearly 30, no boyfriend. A cat" she answered with a scoff

"There's still time" leaning over he placed a kiss on her forehead
"Go to sleep Em. I'll be here if you need anything"

"Can you do something for me?" Emily asked, her eyes drowsing as she felt the medication take their affect of her body

"Anything"

"I want things to go back to normal" she answered sleepily
He didn't even have to think about the answer. Jack had been talking about how he missed spending time with Emily and how he didn't like when Beth was around. Guilt did swarm around him when Jack admit it. However he promised himself that things were going to change. He owed it to Emily, Jack and himself.

"I promise. When you get out of here you can come over for dinner." Aaron said and Emily squeezed his hand in return

"Can you lay down with me"
"Please" she pouted, opening one eye to look at him

"Move over" he smiled
