Criminal Minds Imagines

Not So Merry Christmas (Aaron Hotchner x Female Y/N)

It was getting late. Dinner was beginning to get cold and Jack was slowly drifting off to sleep. The fire kept you both warm as you were watching Christmas movies on the couch. Jack was cuddled up with his head on your lap and his favorite blanket wrapped around him.

You and Aaron had been together for 2 years and it was unlike him to come home late without saying anything. You knew it had been a hard case on him, that's why you made dinner and hot cocoa for the three of you.

"Hey Jack, you wanna go into bed buddy?" You said softly, running your finger through his hair.

He shook his head, "No we have to wait until Daddy gets home Miss y/n."

"I know you want to but it's already past bedtime-"

You get cut off by the door swinging open. Jack and you looked turned around and saw a man with a gas mask on, spraying something in the room.

You stand up and put Jack behind you before you both pass out cold on the floor.

*Aaron's POV*

I'm rushing home. My phone won't turn on and I couldn't tell y/n that I was going to be home late because of the snow. I feel awful.

I pull up to the house and see the door wide open. Something's wrong. Y/n wouldn't keep the door open, especially in the snow.

Stepping out of the car slowly I pull out my gun. The first thing I see is blood on the coffee table. Like someone smashed their head on it. I set my nerves aside and walk through the entire house, not seeing anything else out of place.

I call out, "Y/n? Jack?" I need to call my team.

*Your POV*

I wake up suddenly and don't feel Jack right next to me. You sit up too fast causing me to become dizzy. You never become dizzy that fast. That's when you see the huge pile of blood next to you.

To your right you see Jack, still asleep and not injured. You take a deep breath and pull him closer to you. It's cold in the room, enough to have persistant goosebumps. The tears burn your eyes, but you have to be strong for Jack, and your unborn child.

You put your hand on your stomach, fearing you'll never be able to tell Aaron. Just take deep breathes, that's all you can tell yourself.

About an hour passes and Jack wakes up. "Y/n, where are we?"

"I'm not sure buddy. Just stay close to me alright? Daddy should be coming to get us soon."

He nods whilst you pull him closer, fearing both of your lives. You couldn't die. Jack couldn't die. You were there for him the entire time after Haley died, that's why you two fell in love. And Jack was all he had, until now. You were roughly 10 weeks pregnant and planned on telling Aaron and Jack on Christmas. That was going to be the big gift you kept telling them about.

The door slowly opens and a tall man walks in. He's in all black and you can barely see his face. You put Jack behind you, fearing both his and your life.

"Well if it isn't Ms Y/n L/n." He laughs removing the hoodie. You know that voice, those words, that face anywhere. You can feel Jack trembling behind you. "Don't worry young Hotchner, I won't hurt you. You just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time."

You stood there frozen in shock and fear. You never expected to see your ex James ever again. After joining the BAU you finally got the courage to leave him and the abuse.

You stare at him, "James please. Let us go."

He smirks seeing how scared you are. He take his gun and hits you over the head again, causing Jack to scream. You still hold him tightly behind you.

"Just let me take the boy out of the room y/n so that the real fun can begin."

You weakly look at him, about to pass out. "No. I won't let you."

James smiles big and looks you dead in the eyes. "Okay y/n, you're asking for it." He laughs and shoots you in the shoulder. The piercing pain of the bullet causes you to let go and groan in agony.

He grabs Jack, taking him out of the room screaming, "NO NO Y/N PLEASE NO!"

All you can do is bang on the door, hoping he would let you out. But you knew he wouldn't. You knew you would die.

About an hour later, you're laying on the floor, crying, and bleeding. James comes in with a huge smile on his face.

"Don't worry my love, Jack is all right. But you have to be more cooperative next time." He strokes your face and wipes your tears. He then walks to the other side of the room and sets up a camera. "I'm going to be nice and let your friends see you."

He turns it on. Immeditely Garcia tells the team to come over. They all have tears in their eyes and Hotch is angry. He can barely even look at you laying there like that.

James walks out laughing as you look up to the camera. "Jack's okay." You sit up using most of your strength and lean against the wall, showing the various spots along your head where your bleeding, and your bullet wound.

"Please help me," You cry softly. "I need you, all 3 of us need you." You look down to your stomach to try and give a subtle hint because you knew James was watching you.

The entire team immediatly understands and looks at Hotch, who was just staring at the screen with tears in his eyes.

"Don't let me die. You all know who hurt me the most. It's him."

JJ and Emily look at each other. You told them all about James and they told the team everything they knew.

At that moment James storms through. "You think I wasn't watching? And you can just tell them everything?!" He kicks you in the chest. Hard. Knocking the wind out of you and mkaing it difficult to breathe.

"You're fucking pregnant? AGAIN?!" He's screaming now. Everyone has to watch you get beat in front of them, to the point where you can barely even open your eyes.

He stops for a moment and pulls out his gun. "I was going to kill you quickly. But this is going to be even better." He points the gun at your stomach making you and everyone tense up.

"No please James. You caused my first miscarriage please don't do it again." You hated talking about it. Barely anyone knew that he beat you so badly you miscarried your first daughter. It pained you to talk about.

He looks at the camera and then back to you. "Watch this Mr. Hotchner." He pulls the trigger causing you to scream in pain and agony. You can't move or speak. You're too weak.

The entire time Garcia was pinpointing your location and she found it. You were only 2 minutes away causing Aaron to be even more mad because of how close you were.

James sits there. He wants to watch you finally die.

You're taking what seems to be your final breaths when your team storms through. You feel James blood splatter onto you and hear sirens coming from outside. Aaron is yelling, trying to get you to open your eyes.

"Please y/n," The medics pick you up. "I love you and I need you."

You weakly smile and grab his hand. "I'll forever love you more."

After that it all goes dark and cold. You can't see a single thing or hear anything anymore. Not for what feels like years.

You finally wake up and see bright lights in a hospital room, as well as hear Jack and Aaron talking on the couch in your room.

"You guys didn't think you could lose me that easily did you?" You say quietly.

Aaron looks up and cries. "Of course not." He softly kisses your lips and says, "This is the best Christmas gift I could ask for. You being safe with me."
