Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! :D

Children say the strangest things when they're asleep. My wife and I often have entire conversations with my sleeping daughter, even now when she's 10, that she has absolutely no recollection of the following morning. For whatever reason, my son doesn't talk when he's sleeping at all. He'll occasionally nod in response to something we say, but he very rarely talks to us.

And I can well imagine that Emily would be freaked out by hearing that.

Haha, my friend used to talk in his sleep right through his teens...his brothers would use it to get dirt on him, haha!

Indeed! :D Thanks for the comment! :D

This was sweet, and honest and truthful, especially the way Emily blurted out that she didnt want to be Jack's mother and Hotch's response to that. I love that they can just have honest conversations with each other about those kinds of things. So much has happened and they have to.

I really enjoyed this.

Thank you. I'm actually really grateful to citymusings for this prompt because the issues brought up by it are, well, ones that would really need to be addressed by Hotch and Prentiss at some point.

Thanks, I'm glad you did! :D

Yeah, in my Something More series, as Hotch and Prentiss get closer, this is something I think about. And of course I do have Jack calling Emily 'mom' now in my regular fanon. Its interesting to wonder how it comes about and how all three of them feel about it. I love the realness of it, writing it and reading it.

I figure these pieces based on the prompts (most of them any way) are in, uh, the "Suffer the Children" realm but after that actual story - which reminds me I totally need to find a name for actual universe since, well, the current name doesn't actually fit anything but the long tale, haha!

Anyway...This is really what I love exploring too...things developing and all three of them trying to figure out theirs and the other's places. Like you say, I love the realness of it! :D

That was such a wonderful story!:) Totally enjoyed it.
I love how they talked about it. And yes, as a parent, my daughter also talkes in sleep sometimes, its so cute.:D
The last Quote is so true, as well.;)

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

Yeah, I always figure they're talk-it-out people, at least with each other, haha! :D

Thanks...I try and select the best quotes I can for the story and I figured that one worked to show Emily's real possibility as a mother (because she did, in fact, kiss Jack goodnight though he was asleep). :D
