Part 44

Aaron Hotchner's POV

It's the weekend and I'm woken up by my phone ringing. Emily is snuggled up to me, sleeping. I take my phone trying not to wake Emily up because she has had pretty bad morning sicknesses last night and didn't go to bed before 2am, but now I think she's feeling better.

"Aaron Hotchner. [...] Are you ki... [...] Okay. We will be there."

Emily moves a bit.

"Who was it?" She asks with her morning voice.

"Police department. They warned the FBI and they need profilers for a case. They're meeting us in 50 minutes in the Conference Room. I gotta warn the rest of the team. You need some rest before going to work. I'm gonna wake Oliver and we're gonna pick something on our way for breakfast."

She nods and goes back to sleep.

Penelope Garcia's POV

My phone rings. Carolyn is snuggled up to me. Her head's on my chest, her arms are around my waist and my arms are around her shoulders. She seems pretty comfortable. I answer my phone.

"Penelope Garcia. [...] Really? [...] Okay, I'll be there. Bye."

I kiss Carolyn's forehead to wake her gently. She opens her eyes slowly.

"Hey, Sweet Pie. Good morning," she says, waking up.

"Good morning, Sugar."

I kiss her. And we look at each other, smiling.

"I'm sorry, babe, but I gotta go to work. Even though I really don't want to..."

Carolyn sits straight.

"Pen'... Did you know I got a job?"

"Are you serious? That's amazing! When were you supposed to tell me?"

"Soon."

"Where do you work?"

"I'm a doctor at... Oh... I can't remember the name of the hospital where I work!"

She looks down, feeling guilty. I take her face in my hands.

"It's okay. I'm so happy for you right now!"

Then I kiss her again.

Derek Morgan's POV

I hear my phone ringing, but I don't want to answer.

"Bae... Could you pick up the phone... Or I'll make you eat it..."

One thing I love about Savannah is how funny she is in the morning when she gets woken up! She's so grumpy! I take my phone because I don't want it to be my breakfast.

"Hey, Hotch... Why are you calling this early? [...] Um... Okay... See you there."

I hang up.

"Who has the nerve to call this early?"

"It was my boss. I gotta go because we got a new case."

I kiss her.

"I'll be back tonight or I'll call you. Love you."

"Love you too."

Spencer Reid's POV

I'm sleeping in the kids' bedroom, on the rocking chair. And JJ is sleeping in the bed. Because of the chemotherapy, Hope and Jaeden have been sick all night long... They have been throwing up in their bed too many times that I stopped counting. And each time, I had to clean their bed...

My phone rings. It's Hotch.

"Hotch. [...] Okay. [...] Um um. [...] We will be there."

I hang up. And I get out of the room to warn JJ. I enter our bedroom. JJ is taking all the space in the bed. I put my hand in her hair and I lay a little kiss on her forehead. She opens her eyes slowly.

"Good morning, Sweetheart," I smile.

"'Morning... What time is it?"

"8:12am."

"Why are you waking me up this early?"

"We have a case."

"Are kidding me?"

"I'd like to say yes, but I'm not."

"Okay... I'm getting up... Could you prepare coffee?"

"Yes. Take your time to wake up. I love you."

"I love you too."

David Rossi's POV

Yesterday, Joy went to bed before dinner because she was in pain and was pretty tired. So I slept with Zoe. Zoe is still in my bed, her head on my chest. She snuggled up to me. My phone rings so I answer.

"David Rossi. [...] Okay. [...] What time? [...] Okay. We're coming."

I hang up and I get out of the bed, trying not to wake Zoe. I walk to Joy's bedroom. I knock and I enter. I sit on the corner of her bed, and I wake her up gently.

"What's wrong dad...?"

"We have a case."

She sighs and puts a pillow on her head.

"Okay... I'm coming..."
