Never Together Nor Apart

[Chapter 70]

Emily's POV:

"Hello? How are we doing in here?" A male doctor asks.

"Um? Fine, we're fine, where's Dr. Green?" I question.

"She was pulled away, another one of her patients went into labor as well, so I'm helping with her cases," he gives me a friendly smile.

"Oh okay. I just fed her, I know she told me to do that and that she would be taken for another check up afterwards," I share my information.

"Perfect, that's exactly what I came in here to check on. Let me just take little Alana here and we'll be back as fast as possible," he explains.

I wiggle Alana's small feet, achieving a little twitch from her nose, before he takes her out of the room. I hear the toilet flush, Aaron walks out a minute or two later.

"I'm beat," I yawn.

"I would expect you to be. You're amazing, you know that?" He smiles.

I return the same facial glow as he walks over, kissing my forehead.

"Where's Alana?" He realizes she gone.

"She's with another doctor, they want to make sure she's getting enough nutrients from the breast milk," I explain.

"Is is weird I miss her already?" He laughs.

"No, I do too. I was thinking, when Alana gets back we could have the team come in," I suggest.

"Are you ready for them to know?" He gives me a curious look.

"They are gonna find out eventually, not to mention we've waited a whole 8 and a half months. I'm sure their gonna be pretty peeved already," I sigh.

He just gives a nod. The handle to the door clicks.

"That was awfully fast," I chuckle.

"What was?" Dr. Green makes her way to my side.

"I thought you had another patient?" I say in confusion.

"No, I don't have anyone but you tonight. I need to take your adorable little girl back now, I'll return her right after," she begins looking around.

"A male doctor already took her!" I feel my voice become louder.

"We don't have a male doctor on call tonight," she states.

Her eyes widen, she runs into the hallway and begins shouting.

"Code purple, shut down the hospital NOW! Nobody goes in or out got it?" She orders.

"Aaron what are they talking about? What's happening?!" I shriek.

"You stay here and try to stay calm. I'll find out okay?" He kisses me once more quickly before shutting the door as he walks out.

I hear yelling.

"Where the hell is my daughter?!" He barks at someone.

"Hotch!" I hear Morgan's voice.

"I want the security tapes now! Find out where the hell our daughter is," he demands.

"Hotch who's daughter? Are you talking about Emily's baby?" I can hear the confusion in his voice.

I jump out of bed and throw open the door. I groan out of soreness. I feel my legs weakening.

"Emily," Aaron grabs a nearby wheelchair and makes me sit.

"What is going on?!" Morgan grabs our attention.

"We don't have time for this! I want to know where the hell our daughter is now! Otherwise your gonna have a hell-of a lot of problems," I feel hot tears run down my cheeks.

"Mrs. Prentiss, we believe a man has abducted your daughter. We have notified police and the hospital is on lockdown," a nurse explains.

I feel my pulse weakening before I go limp.

Hotch's POV:

"Somebody do something!" I scream as Emily's eyes flutter shut, I see blood seeping through her hospital gown.

"Her pulse is weak, she needs to rest. The blood is completely normal. We are doing everything we can to find your daughter but she must stay in the bed," a nurse warns.

"We're launching an investigation now, do you understand? I don't care what you have to do, run it by Strauss, whoever, just get our legal authority to give the "ok" I demand to Morgan.

"I'll get Rossi on it now, but then you're gonna need to explain everything. Got that?" He begins dialing a number.

I rub my temples, anger bubbling up inside my throat. I wait impatiently for Morgan to order the others.

"Hotch, Rossi's got it under control. Now I need an explanation," he gives me a serious look.

"Okay, uh, um. Emily and I started dating soon after she got back. A week after JJ and Reid had Lily she found out she was pregnant and that's it. There's nothing more to say so get over the surprised emotions and figure out who the hell did this," I let frustrated groan escape my lips.

Seconds later, Rossi, Garcia, JJ, and Reid round the corner, rushing to my side.

"We have the okay, but you need to tell us everything in more detail," JJ says slowly.

I nod and take a seat.

*time skip*

"We have the security cameras up," a nurse breaks me from my thoughts.

"We treat this like any other case, got it? We profile just the same, I know it's hard since it's personal but we have to do it for Emily and Hotch's sake," I hear Morgan demand.

We follow security into a small room. Monitor's cover the walls. I listen to the footsteps of Reid, JJ, Morgan, and Rossi behind me. They enter the room shortly after.

"Over here, the main entrance, is where he got in. His face is pretty hazy, we have him as he makes his way to a closet. We're guessing he had stolen someone's coat. And he must have gotten scrubs from in there as well. If you look here, you'll see your wife's room," the guard points.

"We're not-" he cuts me off.

"You can see him approach the room and then we see him look at the camera right..... here," he pauses so I can take a look.

An immediate sickness washes over me. I hurl into a trash can on the floor. I hear JJ, Reid, and Morgan gasp.

"That's not possible," Reid mutters.

"But he's," JJ does finish the sentence.

"Son of a bitch," Morgan says in disgust.

"Who is that?" Rossi questions, confused by our reactions.

"He's the man that killed my ex wife, and the man I killed with my own bare hands. George Foyet," I stare into the screen with hatred.

So... their newborn was stolen by a supposed dead man. Isn't that interesting??
