"But why can't I call you Mom and Lily can call my dad daddy even though he is not her real dad?" he whispered it out but Emily got every word.

When Hotch and Emily told Jack they were getting married he wanted to call Emily mom but she refused. It wasn't that she didn't want that or didn't see Jack as her son, she did. He was her son but he was also Haley's son. "Jack, I thought we talked about this." Jack just stared at the floor. "Here" she motioned to the bar stools by the counter. After they both took a seat she continued. "Jack you are in every way my son. I love you just as much as I love Lily. And I always will no matter if your dad and I get married or not but you are a special kid." She winked at him. "You have another mother who did something so extraordinary for you. Your mom loved you so much that she saved you Jack. I know you don't remember a lot about what happened but she was a hero. Your hero and I don't want to take that from her. I don't want to replace your mom. I never could so that why I don't want you to call me mom. That is her special name."

Tears were free flowing from both of them, Jack looked up "But you're special too. You're my mom too."

Emily smiled "I am but so is Haley. And she was your first mom so that name is for her." she thought for a moment. "But why don't you make a new name for me. It can be a nickname."

"I know it was stupid but if she didn't hate me then I wouldn't have been able to stay away. Dave, I can't, no I won't let Emily end up like Haley." He took a breath "an Unsub threatened her while we were dating and it got to me. Everyone I care about gets hurt and I will not let the only woman that I can't live without get hurt. I know you will say it's not true but it is. Now I think I can live without being able to touch her or hold her but I can't live without her breathing on this earth. And if her being alive and… her being happy means I have to stay away then I will." Hotch wiped at his eyes tearing up. "Dating Beth was just to make sure Emily was safe, in a way."

Another 72 Hours

Emily goes to see if her mother really does know how to change a diaper. Just as she gets to them, she sees Elizabeth has broken the first rule of changing a little boy.

"Oh, Mom, you're going to need to—"

Too late. Emily fights back laughter as a stream of pee hits her mother's designer blouse. The ambassador is too stunned to do anything but stare at it a moment. As the stream ends, Henry gurgles with glee. Elizabeth slowly turns and glares at Emily.

"I swear, Emily Elizabeth Prentiss, if you so much as breathe a word about this to anyone you will find out just how much power I have to make your life miserable."

"When a mommy and daddy love each other they they are both given a special seed. Once the two seeds are put together, the baby is put into the mommy's tummy. Do you understand now, sweetie?"

Kids Say The Darndest Things

Road to Nowhere!

The road to Nowhere is where Emily is in a boat with the Crew about the cars going to the river. The unsub controls the cars by the GPS. Emily is driving the SUV where the girls are in and the unsub starts to control the SUV. Luckily Reid is able to stop the signal and don't end up in the river. That's where they get stuck on a cliff on a tree. They think Emily is dead but she not.

"So are you really going to sleep on the floor?"

Aaron snorted as he gently set Emily under the covers Dave had pulled back on the bed that was obviously hers. "Of course not. I'm just protecting her need for privacy. I told you about us because I consider you a close friend and I need someone to keep us real when it comes to balancing this job and our growing relationship. When she tells everyone else about us is her business; I won't mess with that no matter how annoyed she gets me with her denials about what we are to each other." He gently stroked her hair back from her forehead as he covered her up.

He woke her up while Dave used the bathroom then used it himself before padding to the bed. Dave had already put out all the lights and was obviously asleep as his soft snoring filled the room. He slipped into the bed behind Emily and lightly pulled her back against him. She murmured softly as she rolled over and cuddled into his warmth. He soothed her with a light touch as he pulled her snug against him and slipped his knee between her legs. One arm went around her waist to rest just above her delectable derrière and the other slipped under her shoulders to get his hand close enough to tangle in her hair.

He sighed softly as contentment washed through him. It wasn't until he was drifting off to sleep that he realised that unconsciously, they'd both moved to mirror their favourite sleeping position from the time when they'd first met.

He wondered what the profiler in him would have to say about that?
