on the hottest day of the year, the last thing emily and aaron want to be doing is picking the kids up early from camp because someone is misbehaving. Part of the Hotchners Future AU series.
one-shot based on the prompt: losing you was the hardest thing i've ever had to go through.
Ok added 3 new parts since you've all been waiting for a long while! I am still working on chapter names so if you have any ideas after reading the chapters, feel free to give me suggestions!
Hotch went into protective custody with Haley and Jack after 5.01 "Faceless, Nameless" leaving a pregnant Emily Prentiss behind. Except neither of them know that yet. Sixteen years later, Lia Hotchner-Prentiss needs her father's help.. to find her mother. It's a little angsty, but there's some joy in there too, I promise. Happy endings for Hotchniss.
Some post-eps/off-screen scenes from every episode (hopefully. I'll grasp at straws if I need to.) during my CM rewatch. All (eventual) Hotchniss. Written chronologically. Can be read as either one-shots or a cohesive storyline.(I think of it as a cohesive storyline. It's so fun to write.) I'll update as often as possible. (Which is a lot right now because, dopamine.)
Emily's world comes crashing down when she learns she can't have children. She feels as though her life no longer has meaning until, amidst the chaos of the team's most recent case, a little stranger comes along to strengthen her spirt and her hope. She learns that perhaps it is possible for someone to have all they ever wanted. It's just, sometimes, they have to take the long way.
