[Emily's POV]

I walk inside my house carrying Kaitlyn.
"Welcome to your home!" Aaron says taking her into his arms. I grab our bags and set them over by the stairs.
"Get some sleep. I'll watch her." he says.
"You sure?" I ask.
"Yeah! You look tired." he insists.
"Okay." I say kissing Kaitlyn on the forehead and kissing him. I can't stop thinking about Kaitlyn. What will I do if anything happens to her. What if I can't help her. I call JJ. She's a mom. She'll know what to do.
"Baby keeping you up yet?" she answers.
"No, can't wait though."
"What's up!"
"What if something happens to her. What if I can't help her."
"Emily! You're going to be a great mother!"
"Yeah but." I say not finishing my sentence.
"What?"
"What if something bad happens, like really really bad."
"Em. Stop worrying. You got Hotch also! Get some sleep."
"I can't sleep."
"Em!"
"Fine! I'll sleep." I say as she hangs up the phone. I lay down and close my eyes. Soon I'm watching Aaron play with Kaitlyn downstairs. I step down the stairs, making to much noise. He turns around and stares at me.
"Sorry, I just can't sleep." I say walking to him.
"Why?"
"I don't know. Just with all the happiness."
"Yeah." he says as I sit down next to him. I rest my head on his shoulder and he wraps his arm around me, pulling me closer to him.

I jerk awake to Kaitlyn crying.
"What is it baby?" I ask picking her up. She keeps crying.
"Everything alright?" Aaron asks from the bed.
"Yes. Go back to sleep! You have work tomorrow!"
"Seriously? I have to go to work!"
"Yes! It's been two weeks. You see I'm the mom so I get to miss work."
"Says who."
"Says the baby."
"I'm still your boss." he says.
"Yeah well I'm your soon to be wife so I suggest that you go to bed." I say, realizing that Kaitlyn is sleeping again. I climb back in bed, when the crying starts again. Another endless night.
