Pregnant

I looked at all three tests. I laughed with joy. And all this time I thought it was the pizza. I kept the pregnancy a secret for another week, until Luke came back, which was today.

I set the tests in the nursery, setting them by the teddy bear. I took a deep breath and started to do the dishes, making it not so obvious. I heard the door open and Luke's heavy feet dragging into the room. I bit my lip, trying not to smile, but failing.

"Hello handsome." I gave him a wide smile. His face light upas he look up at me. I ran up to him and gave him a big hug and kiss.

"Is it me or did you get more beautiful when I was gone?" He chuckles into my ear.

"I missed you." I pecked his lips again. "Are you heading upstairs?" I asked him.

"Yeah, im gonna change real quick, why?" He turns around as he was at the stairs.

"Can you check out the crib in the nursery? I think its tilting." I lied.

"What? I made that thing, how is it going to be tilting if theres no baby yet?" He stomps up the stairs and I heard him go in. I made my way up, meeting him by the doorway to our soon to babys room. "I dont-" he looks on top, with the bear. "Don't play with me." He turns to me, holding all three sticks.

"Im not." I clapped my hands together.

"This is real? Like actually real?" He steps up to me.

"I had the appointment last Tuesday." Luke pulls me in for a hug. He just laughs.

"Im going to be a dad." He laughs, pulling his hair back. "Like with a child and all." He still laughs. "Like I made that."

"Correction, we." I smiled. He placed his hands on my stomach.

"Wow." He kneeled down. "Hey buddy, its dad. Listen, when you are big and strong, i promise you that you will not be a Yankees fan." I slapped his arm.

"Luke." I played with his hair. He stood up and kissed me again.

"It's actually happening. We did this."

"Time to build that dresser amor."

"You know what, anything you want me to do, ill do it." I laughed. "Im serious amor. Anything!"

"Well-" my phone rang. Hotch. "Hold on." I answered. "Aaron?"

"I need you at Gideons place, ill send you the address." He said so fast.

"What? Why? Is he okay?"

"Theres been a murder." He then hangs up. I looked at Luke.

"Its Gideon, I have to go."

"Go. They need you." He kisses my hand as I ran off to get my shoes. Aaron sent me the address. I took one last look at Luke. "Hazel, im serious, go." I touched his cheek as I left. I parked my car as I made it to Gideons place, filled with policeI saw Emily heading up. "You know whats going on?"

"No clue." We showed our badges to the police and looked around. Everyone was there talking to Hotch about Gideons sudden disappearance. Emily and I turned to the bloody bedroom where a woman lied on the bed.

We weren't here for a case, only to answer questions to MPD. Hotch said that the woman was a high school friend, he was on a date.

"Evisceration of the torso, removal of various organs. The guy's clearly a sexually sadistic psychopath." Reid pointed out.

"He's well-versed with a scalpel. He's done this before. We need to at least get photos." Emily said.

"J. J., Your cell phone- get as many as you can as quickly as you can. Get them to Garcia." JJ nods and walks away. We took a look around the place, no force entry, nothing was touched. We met at the room, he opened her up, removed her lower right rib bone. Emily opens the victims hand, there it was.

"Frank's back." Son of bitch. The guy who we didn't arrest. It was a message. For us. We huddled together saying we need to tell the police that its him. Frank probably lost Jane and probably Gideon took her.

The four of us left Hotch upstairs while we looked around the building for anything.

"Frank had to have come out the same way down this street. If they saw Gideon, they saw Frank." Morgan said as we all met up again.

"Well, we know Frank will do whatever it takes to blend in and not stand out." I told him, panting as i made my way towards them.

"Well, to avoid attracting attention, he would have simply walked calmly out of that crime scene."

"The evisceration of Sarah, though, means he would have been soaked in her blood."

"No, he had access to Gideon's closet. He cleans up, gets a change of clothes, he's out."

"Yet he left no trace of evidence at the crime scene." I said. "Nothing was touched, or even moved."

"Gideon said he dumped it en route." Aaron came up with a bag.

"You spoke with Gideon? Where is he, Hotch?"

"He's safe."

"Well, that's all the proof we need, right? We can turn him over to the M. P. D now."

"By the time this comes back from the lab, Frank's long gone." I shook my head.

"If the cops find out we're hiding evidence and a material witness from them-"

"We're not hiding evidence." Aaron cuts off Morgan. "We'll give this to forensics, let them search for DNA. We'll look for Frank." A boy on a skateboard came up to us.

"Agent Morgan?"

"What the hell?" Me and Emily said as he knew his name.

"They say beauty can cover a multitude of sins. But underneath it all... We all look exactly the same." Morgan looks around.

"That's Frank. He said that to me in the diner."

"Give me Jane or I'll kill them all." The boy continued.

"Frank thinks we have Jane?"

"We need to find her fast."

"Can I have my 10 bucks now?" We turned around, looking at every corner to see if hes near. He had to. He just sent this kid.

Gideon saw Jane just before Frank called him. If we find Jane, we'll find Frank. Last time we found Frank, he outsmarted us. He took a busload of children hostage. He gave us no options. And hes  not going to give us any now.

Jj called us saying that Garcia found something that was ripped from a book, which was Gideons murder book. It was a list of people Gideon had ever saved. Frank was going to kill them all.

Reid, Emily and I went To narrow every possible targets. Their details were in the files. Emily put out the photos and we started calling all nine.

"Rebecca Brian? Hi, this is Jennifer Jareau with the FBI." JJ said through the call.

"He's not agent Gideon, is he?" We all turned. Hes there.

"Excuse me?"

"Rebecca, this is agent Hotchner. If you can, very calmly excuse yourself and get out of the house. Can you do that? Rebecca, just calmly hang up, walk to your door, and leave. Ok? Rebecca?"

"What's going on?" We heard a yelp.

"Rebecca... Rebecca? Rebecca?" JJ calls out, no answer.

"Hi, I regret to inform you that Rebecca's name should be moved to a new list." Frank.

"Frank, we don't have her. We do not have Jane."

"I will not stop until I have her back."

"Frank... Frank!" He hangs up.

I stayed back while the other went to Rebeccas place. JJ and I sat down in the conference room, waiting. We got a call, Jane was being processed. I was the one to pick up Jane at MPD. As I walked in, showed my badge, heading towards the holding cells, i heard Jane screaming, pounding on the cell.

"Jane." I said to calm her down.

"Come in here and get this mouthy bitch out of here." One person in the holding cell growled.

"Watch it and back off!" I pointed at her, giving her look. "Agent Santos, FBI."

"Fbi?" The same woman said. I rolled my eyes and looked back at Jane.

"Do you remember me? From Nevada?"

"I asked for agent Gideon."

"We know. We'll bring you to him." I put out my arm. "Follow me."

"I told you! Agent Gideon's right, you know. Frank, he can't feel love. He wants to, but he can't. He's coming for me, you know?" She tells me, walking out of the cell.

"He's already here Jane." Her face went white. I brought Jane back with me and out her into a interrogation toom.

"You got this." I said as I looked at myself. I was going to have to interview Jane alone.

"Did I do the right thing by coming here?" Jane said as she snaps at me, as I walked in.

"Yes, you did the right thing. Please, sit down." I patted the table. JJ came in and came in with Janes bag.

"Is that my bag?" She grabs it from her. JJ looks at me and I nodded, she then left. I stayed with her. "Frank hasn't hurt anyone, has he? He wouldn't do that. Not while he has me."

"He doesn't have you." Aaron comes in. "We do." Jane takes a seat.

"He came after agent Gideon."

"Why did you leave Frank? What...changed?"

"He did. Frank changed. He changed just like agent Gideon said. And he was so angry with agent Gideon because he knows Frank better than anyone else. And Frank knows that, too."

"Frank wants agent Gideon to stop him, doesn't he?" Aaron said to her.

"Well, if anyone can, agent Gideon can."

"Not without you, Jane."

"What do you mean?" She looks at him, confused. She stayed silent with every question we tried to tell her.

"Tell me about Frank. Where's he from?" She gets her stuff out from the bag and slams it on the table.

"Manhattan."

"Manhattan? You sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure! He talked about it all the time. He told me where he lived and how he grew up, everything. He wanted me to know everything."

"Did he ever say where in Manhattan?"

"He lived with his mother. She was german. Breitkopf. Mary Breitkopf. And Frank never knew his father."

"So he uses his mother's name?" She hums.

"And she would take him every sunday to the fair on Long Island. He talked about her constantly. And they would have dinner parties, and-and Frank would dress up, and he would be the barman, and he would serve all the guests... Cocktails."

"Jane, when you were with Frank, did he ever hurt anyone else?" She lit a cigarette.

"Being on the run can be very romantic, you know."

"Did Frank try to kill anyone else?" I continued to ask her questions.

"Is it wrong?" She looks down.

"Is what wrong?"

"Loving Frank?"

"Uh, you don't choose who you fall in love with." I thought about Luke. God I left him there at the house alone.

"Maybe you thought you could change him. And you did, too, for a time." She nods slowly as Hotch talks to her. "Until the desire to kill overwhelmed him. And you saw that, didn't you, Jane? You saw it in him." She nods again. "Who did he try to kill?"

"Me." She whispers. "But he stopped himself. We had an argument... And I screamed at him, and I said that Gideon was right and he became so angry. And I had to run here. But as long as he's trying to find me, he won't kill again."

"He has already. And he's not going to stop until he gets you back." She gets choked up.

Garcia called us. We needed everyone at Union Station. We all charged in. Snipers, us, police. I had my vest on and looking around for Frank.

"Anybody got eyes on the target?"

"Nothing." I called in. I made my way to Morgan. I shrugged my shoulders.

"12 o'clock. Platform 11. Target. Target east side. I have eyes on the target, and I have a clear shot. Over." Morgan and I looked at each other and ran out. We saw him sitting on a bench.

"I need you to exit now!" I yelled at the civilians. "Now!"

"Let's go! Go! Back, all of you back off! We need you out of here!" Morgan yells at them too. I had my gun ready and behind Frank. He was talking to Aaron. I saw Emily bringing Jane, Frank stood up. Gideon came up, in front of Frank, pointing his gun at him. After a long talk about Franks life, Jane walks up to Frank and they both jumped in front if the in coming train.

—

I made it home, dropping my bag off to the side, kicking off my shoes. I headed up and I looked at the nursery. Luke was sitting on the floor, building the dresser.

"Mind doing the dishes too?" I joked. Luke looks up and takes out the screwdriver in his mouth.

"Anything." I stood on my tippy toes and kissed him.

"Good because theres a lot." I patted his cheek as I walked away. He licks his lips. "Start practicing daddy duty."
