This is another Penny and Hotch fic in my Spencer and Sam Universe.
Just an idea I got from the episode "Seven second"
Losing Jack.
Penny and Sam was shopping just having a sort of girls day but with the triplets and Jack with them, Jack was walking just a few steps ahead of them looking around the mall had been renovated and been closed for a few months so it all seemed new.
"Cool! Penny! Sam! Look at that!" Jack said loudly and pointed at one of the toy stores
"We see my little baby Hotch," said Penny smiling while pushing Magnus and Harry while Sam was pushing Haley.
Penny turn to Sam and continued their talk about something bored if you asked Jack who was more interested in the stores, He stopped at one that had video games and other games and the two buggy pushing women nearly walk past him and didn't see him.
"Jack!" Penny called for him "Don't loss us please. Come along we are going to the food court to eat something."
Jack nodded and followed them and listening.
"I miss it," Penny said "I mean I know it wasn't something expensive or so but I do miss it, it was the first thing Aaron gave me, sure we weren't you know dating or so. He gave me it and it was the first thing I got to make my cute space and now it's gone not just gone burn to pieces thanks to that idiot boy! I could have killed him."
"You sure he did it on purpose?" Sam asked
Penny nodded
"He told me so," she nearly growl "He was mad at me for not being allowed to try my computer I mean honestly he is well was the intern and nothing else. I wish I could find a new one."
Jack walked just behind them and heard everything he had heard it before too, some intern had burn Penny's stuffed owl that hoot when you hugged it and Penny had been so sad over it, not even dad had been able to cheer her up about it, he had fired the intern and threaten to do kill the boy.
He looked around and saw something and smile.
The group arrived at food court and was soon sitting down eating, Sam had taken a burger with chicken and bacon, while Penny had a salad with chicken and blue cheese dressing and Jack had a kebab plate with fries and the triplets was a bottle each.
"So Jackie boy how is school?" Sam asked
"It is okay I guess," Jack said looking down at his plate
"Oh tell Aunt Sam about the medal," Penny said smiling proudly.
"I got a medal," Jack muttered "It's stupid."
"It's not stupid Jack," Penny said and wiped some of Jack's garlic sauce from his cheek "He got a medal for being a good friend, your dad and me are so proud of you my little muffin man."
Jack tried to look embarrassed but he couldn't stop the same that grow on his face, it did feel good to hear that Penny was proud of him.
"Do you think mum would be proud too?" he asked her not for the first time.
"Yes she would be so proud of you," Penny said.
"That is a good medal," Sam said "Uncle Spencer and I are proud of you too, let's see this must we celebrate but how?"
"Could we get Ice cream before we go home?" Jack asked
"Of Course," Penny and Sam said.
Sam and Penny was soon deep in a discussing something that seemed REALLY boring for Jack, he sat quiet for a while eating his food and drinking his soda, he played a bit with his little siblings but they were soon asleep and after that it was no fun really listening to his step-mom and Aunt Sam talking about work.
"Penny I am just going to a shop over there," Jack said and pointed at a shop that you could see from their table.
"Mmm," Penny said not listening at all but Jack thought she had heard him and walked off thinking everything was okay and how happy Penny was going to be.
Penny turn to ask Jack where he wanted to go when to her great horror the boy was not sitting on the chair that he just a few minutes early been sitting on he was gone! Penny's worst nightmare had come true she had lost her son well step-son but she had never thought of Jack as anything less than her son, at least after that she and Aaron had started to be together.
"Sam were is Jack?" She asked with fear in her voice.
"He is right here," Sam said and turn to look at the now empty chair "He is gone where can he have gone to?"
"I don't know!" Penny cried tears flooding down her cheeks "Aaron will kill me, I lost our son!"
"He can't have gone far," Sam said "Come we will find him don't worry. Have you tried his mobile?"
"No but his mobile was dead this morning so he don't have it with him," Penny wept
Penny and Sam rushed around the mall looking for Jack but for the love of god they couldn't find him, an hour later they were back at the food court just to see a very scared Jack standing at the table were they had been sitting before, tears was running down his cheeks.
"JACK AARON HOTCHNER!" Penny screamed and run with the twin buggy over to the boy, she didn't know if she should kill the boy or hug him so she hugged him before she gave him a good shake and then she hugged him again. "You young man are in so much trouble, I was so worried I thought you were kidnapped! Why did you just ran off?"
Jack just hugged Penny he had been so scared when he had not been able to find his step-mom and Aunt, and no-one had helped him when he started to cry.
"AM SORRY MUM," he cried and buried his face into Penny's chest.
Sam stood by watching.
"Hey Jackie boy," she said softly "Why did you do it?"
"I…sob… told …you," The young boy sobbed "I… was … just going to that store."
He pointed at the store he had just been to.
"I wanted to buy you this," He said and gave Penny the bag, she looked inside and saw the same owl that he been burn a week earlier "I saw it and I know that you missed the old one so I just thought I could surprise you and you said okay when I told you."
"Oh Jack I didn't hear you," Penny said softly and stroked her son's hair "I am sorry too, and I am really surprised and happy for the present next time please make sure I hear you, I don't want to loss you."
Jack nodded.
"So Ice cream?" Sam asked
Both Penny and Jack had to laugh at that.
"Yes that would be great now and then home," Penny said and Jack agreed.
The end.
