BAU Unit Chief and FBI Agent SSA Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner realised what the time was and started to pack up his briefcase and laptop to leave the office. Even though it was on 2pm, he was planning on leaving in good time to go to his son Jack's school to talk with his 4th grade teacher Miss Anderson but needed time to change before he left as he wanted to go in more comfy jeans and shirt than his suit, which although comfortable for work was never completely comfortable outside work or on cases.

Since his wife Haley's murder 5 years ago, he been a single dad to his now 10 year old son Jack, who he loved with all his heart and who loved him so much. If it were not for his sister in law, and Haley's sister, and Jack's aunt, Jessica Brooks, offering to take care of Jack whenever Aaron had to work or go away on a case, he would have had to retire after Haley's death just to take care of his son. Jessica was so good to the both of them and always took Jack whenever Aaron needed her to help him out, even if it was at the last minute. It didn't matter how long the case lasted for either. She loved Jack as her own and even kept Jack to the same routine Aaron had built for him to help give him some stability whilst living at both his dad's apartment and his Aunt Jessica's house. Somehow Jack had amazed everyone, but especially his Aunt and his dad, by becoming a smart, sociable outgoing kid who loved activities like soccer and other sports and was one of the smartest kids in his 4th grade class. He couldn't believe his son even complained occasionally that his homework was too easy for him! Everyone on the BAU team had become Jack's extended little family of Aunts and Uncles and he loved them all but he still loved his dad and Aunt Jessica the best.

Even though Haley and he had been divorced before she was murdered, Jessica and Aaron had become close like brother and sister. Jessica was so great with Jack and so supportive of Aaron's job, it amazed him. She was also so kind in letting him sleep in at her house when he returned late from a case or just needed someone else to talk to. In fact, nowadays, he reckoned he had spent more nights at Jessica's house in the last few months than he had at his own apartment. Jack had his own room at his Aunt's house and Jessica always seemed to have the guest bedroom ready for Aaron, even when he called at the last second. He stayed there so often that she had insisted he leave some clothes there to wear when he came over. He even left a razor there to shave with. She had even kindly given him his own key to her house so he could use it if he needed to. Aaron had long ago provided Jessica with a key and his alarm code so she could go into his apartment if Jack needed anything she didn't have. He and Jessica got on so well that she and Aaron were more like close brother and sister than in laws.

Once he had his briefcase and laptop packed up, and with his go bag, which he'd packed with clothes to change into, and briefcase in hand, he went and popped his head into the office next door of fellow BAU team member and FBI Agent SSA David Rossi, who was also a close and old friend and the assistant coach of his son Jack's soccer team.

"Don't tell me we got a case Aaron…."

"No don't worry, just I gotta leave early. Need to go talk to Jack's teacher. Cover for me?"

"Sure. If there's no case what's the go bag for?"

"Just bought some clothes to change into before I left for the day. Even for me this suit gets uncomfortable. So I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Sure. See you Aaron…."

As he walked through the bullpen on his way out, fellow BAU team members, and FBI Agents SSA's Jennifer 'J'J' Jareau, Alex Blake and Dr Spencer Reid looked up at the boss.

"Got a case have we boss?"

"No but I'm having to leave early. Gotta go by the school."

"Jack okay?"

"Yeah, just gotta talk with his teacher. But he's fine J.J."

"I don't remember anyone saying to pack go bags before we left home this morning…."

"No they didn't. Need to change clothes before I leave. So got some jeans and stuff in the bag. But I'll see you guys tomorrow?"

"Sure boss. See you tomorrow."

Aaron popped into the nearby men's room, which was empty. He went into a stall and, after using the toilet to empty his bladder, he quickly changed from his suit into jeans, t-shirt and sweatshirt and put the suit into the bag. Once he put his guns back on and put his credentials, wallet, cell phone and keys in his pockets, he collected his stuff and, after washing his hands, he left the men's room, heading for the elevators, but bumping into fellow BAU team member and FBI Agent SSA Derek Morgan.

"Hey Hotch. we going on a case? And why the change of clothes?"

"Gotta leave early cos I gotta go talk to Jack's teacher. Changed from the suit before I left."

"My little man okay?"

"Yeah he's fine. But I just need to talk to his teacher about something but I do have to go so I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Sure boss, see you."

By the time he reached his SUV in the FBI parking lot, it was 2.30. Luckily the school was no more than 20 minutes away and he managed to get to the school by 2.50, 10 minutes before the school bell rang. He parked in the visitors parking lot and, it being a warm day, he pulled off the sweatshirt before he went towards the school front desk.

"Hi, I'm Jack Hotchner's dad, Aaron Hotchner."

"Oh hi Mr Hotchner. Jack's still in class."

"Yeah I know. I came to talk to Miss Anderson about something. Would that be okay? Figured I'd catch her just after the bell rang before she left."

"That's fine Mr Hotchner. No suit today then?"

"No, changed at work before I left."

"Can you sign the visitor's log like always?"

"Sure."

He signed the visitor's log and the woman gave him a visitor's pass before he slowly went towards Jack's classroom, still having at least 5 minutes before the school bell rang. He did stop by the school vending machines and bought a bottle of water. By the time he reached the classroom door, it was 2.55, still a whole 5 minutes before the bell rang. He took a few sips of water whilst he waited.

Recently Jack had been complaining that his work was way too easy for him but when his dad had jokingly mentioned about skipping grades, Jack had become worried and had told his dad how much he wanted to stay in the 4th grade and his class. He had all his mates in his class and grade, everyone was the same age and he didn't stand out. He was happy where he was. He just wanted to stay in his class, which Aaron could see was the best thing for his son. He'd come to talk with Jack's teacher, Miss Anderson about any other possible solutions to help try to challenge Jack work wise but keep him in the 4th grade.

At exactly 3pm, the school bell rang for the end of the day and kids started to pile out of the classroom.

"Hi Jack's dad!"

"Hi Mr Hotchner! You look different. Where's you FBI suit?"

"Hey Tom, Hey Sam, do I really look that different? I changed to more comfy clothes before I left work. Am I really that predictable?"

"What's predictable mean?"

"Do you guys really only ever see me in a suit?"

"Not all the time. When we come over to play with Jack, you're wearing jeans like you are now, but you never have your gun. Have you used to shoot anyone today?"

"Not today boys. Sorry."

"Hey dad! Er….you changed I see?"

"Yeah buddy. Jeans are more comfy than the suit. I can't believe you guys expect to see me in a suit all the time!"

"That's cos you're a cool FBI Agent Mr Hotchner. Anyway we gotta go. Nice seeing you. See you tomorrow Jack!"

"Yeah see you guys tomorrow."

"Bye Mr Hotchner!"

"Bye boys!"

The 2 boys ran off, leaving Jack standing by his dad.

"What are you doing here dad? And why did you change before coming? The whole school only see's you in a suit, think you'll even surprise Miss Anderson."

"I don't always wear a suit buddy. Even on cases I don't wear suit's all the time. Jeans are more comfy. I came to talk to Miss Anderson about something buddy. You okay waiting here?"

"Yeah, but okay if I run to the bathroom first dad? I'll come right back."

"Sure buddy that's fine."

Jack ran off and Aaron tapped on the door.

"Miss Anderson?"

"Hi Mr Hotchner. No work today or have you just come back from a case?"

"No, been at work and not had a case. Why?"

"You're not wearing a suit. Surprised that's all."

"I don't wear a suit all the time. I just changed before I left the office. Jeans are more comfy than suits all the time. But can I have a word about something?"

"Sure Mr Hotchner, take a seat."

Aaron sat down in the chair besides Miss Anderson's desk, facing her.

"So what can I do for you?"

"It's about Jack."

"As I expected. He seems okay. Why is there something going on?"

"No but how's he doing in class?"

"Extremely well. He's incredibly smart. I'm actually struggling to find work he can't do."

"I know. He actually complains that he finds the work too easy and finds the homework easy."

"If I didn't think it wasn't in his best interest to keep him in this class, I might of suggested he skip to the next grade but I don't want to unsettle him or upset him, especially given his past and the tragic murder of his mom."

"Yeah I really would rather he stayed in the class. He really wants it so bad. He's happy, has all his mates here, all the kids are the same age and he keeps saying he doesn't want to stand out or be different. All of which I completely agree with. So if the school wants to try and have him skip grades, I'll refuse to let them. I want him to stay in the 4th grade where he's really happy."

"I agree with you there Mr Hotchner. It wouldn't be fair on him to make him move. He's a happy, well adjusted, very sociable, settled student who always wants to learn. I wouldn't want to disrupt that. He's already had enough upheaval in his young life. And I know you and his aunt take such great care of him and do your best for him given your circumstances and he's simply a great kid."

"Thank you Miss Anderson. I appreciate that. So is there anything the school can do to challenge him work wise but where he'd still stay in this class? I don't want him to move grades but I want him to at least feel challenged by the work. I know you do your best and are a great teacher. Jack likes you as a teacher. I know you and the school do your best for him and do want to help him learn. And I really appreciate that. I'm just wondering if there are any possible solutions to keep him in this class but where he can feel challenged and have work he actually struggles with….?"

"Dad, can I have some money?" Jack popped his head round the door.

"Money? Why'd you need money buddy? I'm taking you home, don't worry. You don't have to catch a bus."

"To buy a soda from the machine. I'm thirsty. Oh hi Miss Anderson. Sorry for interrupting. So dad can I?"

"Sure buddy…" Aaron stood up and pulled his wallet out of his pocket and handed Jack, who had run into the room, a few coins.

"This be enough?"

"Yeah plenty. Thanks dad. Bye Miss Anderson. Sorry again for interrupting."

"That's okay Jack, we were just talking about you. How about after you've bought your soda, you come back in here and join us? You can drink the soda in here and help us find solutions for you."

"I can really drink the soda in class? You never let us drink in class Miss Anderson."

"Class is over for the day Jack. Go get your soda and come back."

"Would you anything Miss Anderson?"

"Sure. Get me a soda too…" She went to get out her purse but Aaron still had his wallet in his hand.

"Here buddy, this should cover both sodas. You can keep the coins."

"Thanks dad."

"Yeah thank you Mr Hotchner."

"What soda do you want Miss Anderson?"

"Sprite please Jack."

"You want anything dad?"

"Nah I'm good. Got this water….you just go get the sodas and come back here. Okay buddy?"

"Okay dad. Thanks."

Jack ran out of the room and Aaron put his wallet back into this pocket before sitting back down.

"Thanks Mr Hotchner. Good of you."

"No problem Miss Anderson. So is there any solutions to Jack's problem?"

"Might be a couple but why don't we wait until he comes back, run them past him at the same time?"

"Sure…."

"So why'd you change out your suit? You always wear a suit when you've come to see me…."

"Suits are uncomfortable. Even for me."

"Would you possibly mind excusing me for one quick second?"

"Sure you okay Miss Anderson?"

"Yeah, just gotta nip to the ladies room. I'll be right back Mr Hotchner."

"Sure, and call me Aaron if you want."

"Thanks Aaron. Tell Jack I'll be right back…"

She left the classroom. Jack returned first.

"Dad, where's Miss Anderson? You didn't kill her did you? She wasn't the next unsub was she dad?"

"No buddy don't worry. She just had to nip to the bathroom."

"Teacher's need the bathroom too? Wow never knew that!"

Aaron could only laugh at his son's joke.

"Yeah buddy, they are human too, just like you and me."

Just then Miss Anderson returned.

"Oh hi Jack. Sorry about that."

"I thought teachers didn't ever need to pee at school? Thought you guys sat in the classroom all day and didn't move? Everyone thinks that's what you do Miss Anderson. Oh here's your sprite Miss Anderson. Got one too."

"You kids think that all I do all day is sit in this classroom and don't move?"

"Yeah. We never see you leave. Sorry Miss Anderson to say this but sometimes me and my mates wonder if you're human like us….."

"That's okay Jack. I think most kids don't think they're teacher is human like they are but I promise you we are. Thank you for the soda though."

"You're welcome Miss Anderson."

"Why don't you pull up a chair beside your dad? And we guys can talk…."

"I'm not in trouble am I Miss Anderson? I mean Sam wrote that note not me, honest! And it was only for George…."

"Don't worry Jack, you're not in trouble, not in the slightest and I do recognise Sam's handwriting. Tess might interested to see that note….."

"Who's Tess Miss Anderson?"

"Tess is a girl in our class. George likes her but she's got cooties….all girls have cooties and we have to stay away from them…."

"Oh right cootie's. NOW I remember the 4th grade!"

"You were in the 4th grade once dad? Wait, you were 10 once?"

"Yeah buddy, I too was once 10 and in the 4th grade. So was Miss Anderson. So was Aunt Jess. Every grown up was once 10 and in the 4th grade buddy."

"But you guys are old…..wait you were once a kid too Miss Anderson?" Jack pulled up a chair beside his dad and sat down, facing Miss Anderson.

"Yeah Jack. I too was a kid once like you."

"That's just way too weird to think about….weird enough thinking about dad once being 10, but my teacher…."

"You know Principal Woods was once 10 and in the 4th grade too….."

"No way! Principal Woods was never a kid!"

"Yeah buddy he once was a kid like you are."

"Weird. Way too weird. So what were you guys talking about? And why do I need to be in the classroom when class is over?"

"We were talking about you buddy. I was telling Miss Anderson about how you keep complaining how the work is too easy for you. She agrees with me that its best for you if you stay in this class with your mates but we were gonna try to figure out solutions so that you really feel challenged by the work and actually have work that you find hard."

"I do want that. Why is the too work too easy Miss Anderson? I thought school work was meant to be hard. But it's way too easy, at least for me. The other guys always complain that it's too tough."

"You find it easy cos you're so smart Jack, which is the problem. I do really want to keep you in this class, honest, and think it is in your best interest for you to stay in the 4th grade with your mates. But I do want you to have work that you feel challenged by and have to work at."

"Shame Uncle Spencer can't be my teacher dad. His work I find hard…."

"Who's Uncle Spencer Jack?"

"He's on my BAU team. He's actually called FBI Agent SSA Dr Spencer Reid but we know him as boy genius. Graduated high school in Las Vegas when he was 12. He's a child prodigy and a genius, well book smart genius, but a genius."

"Really. What's his IQ?"

"187. He's got an eidetic memory and can remember EVERY word he reads. He can read 20,000 words a minute! He's only about 32 but he's got 2 B.A's AND 3 P.H.D's!"

"Wow! He is smart!"

"Yeah smarter than me Miss Anderson. Smarter than you too and we guys think you know everything. Although dad's smarter than you too, he seems to know everything about anything!"

"I don't know everything buddy."

"Yeah you do dad! You're smarter than all the bad guys you catch. What is it they say you are again? That thing for your job and what everyone on the team is?"

"Profiler?"

"Yeah that's it. But you're the smartest profiler on the team. Dad here is the Unit Chief and team leader. He's their boss!"

"Really?"

"Yeah but I have bosses too buddy, like your Uncle Matt, he's my boss. And even he has bosses. The only one in the FBI who doesn't have a boss is the director."

"Who's Uncle Matt?"

"Oh sorry, he's our Section Chief, FBI Agent SSA Matt Cruz, he's a good guy and good friend. Everyone likes him."

"Uncle Derek doesn't like hanging around with him dad!"

"That's cos he doesn't want to hang around with his section chief buddy! Uncle Derek is on my BAU team, and is FBI Agent SSA Derek Morgan. We all call him Morgan."

"And they all call you Hotch dad!"

"Yeah buddy they do. But that's been my nickname for years. Everyone in in FBI calls me that, even Matt."

"Uncle Dave calls you Aaron most time dad."

"That's cos we're old friends. He does call me Hotch a lot at work buddy. Uncle Dave is FBI Agent SSA David Rossi, who's the senior agent on our team."

"How come their all uncles if they're members of your team?"

"Our BAU team is like family to every one of us. Everyone on the team loves and really cares about everyone else and they love and really care about Jack, and Henry. The boys call everyone on the team either aunt or uncle."

"Henry La Montague?"

"Yeah, J.J's son. Or FBI Agent Jennifer Jareau, but we all call her J.J. She's member of our BAU team. Jack and Henry are best mates, even though there's almost a 5 year age gap."

"So there's 5 of you on your team?"

"No there's 6 on dad's team, well if you don't count Uncle Matt or Aunt Penny. But Aunt Alex is on dad's team."

"Aunt Alex is fellow BAU team member FBI Agent SSA Alex Blake. She's actually a linguistics professor at Georgetown University in her spare time, which isn't that much given our jobs. Aunt Penny is our BAU technical analyst and computer whizz kid Penelope Garcia. She used to be a hacker before she recruited to the FBI to work as our technical analyst but she's a great laugh, she can find out anything and she loves the boys. She and Spencer are actually Henry's god parents….so can we get back on track?"

"Hacker? Wow! Of course we can Aaron…."

"Dad, why's Miss Anderson using your first name? I thought she called you Mr Hotchner?"

"I told her she could call me Aaron if she wanted to buddy. Less formal. See too much formality in the office. So solutions to my son's wizard brain?"

"I have thought up 3 possible's, but there maybe more. I was gonna chat with some colleagues to see if they had any other suggestions. The first is to have Jack stay in the class but attend a couple or few classes a week in the 5th grade for things like maths, science and other subjects. I could make sure the 5th grade teacher didn't treat Jack here any different and knew exactly what stuff I'd been teaching him so that anything they taught you Jack would just be carrying on from what you've been learning here. But you could still return to this class after the few different lessons, which, like here would only be for a certain amount of time each day so you could you still spend most of your day in here with your mates. I know you don't want to stand out or be different and I completely understand that. We could work out a way whereby you going to a 5th grade lesson was no big thing, maybe even going to the class between recess and lunch or something like that. And when you returned to the classroom, I could just ignore you and you could just slip back into your seat and I'd treat you like any of the others."

"That would still make me stand out and sitting in a classroom full of 5th grade kids is a little scary, even for me."

"They're only a year or two older than you. And I'd make sure that the teacher made sure none of the classmates were ever mean to you and that you didn't feel threatened or got bullied. That and you could go to them for help, as well as asking the teacher. We'd make sure we did everything we could to make it so that you fitted in to both places and going to the classes was no big thing."

"Maybe I'm not sure. What about the other possibilities Miss Anderson?"

"The second one is where you stay in the class….."

"I'm liking this one already…."

"You haven't heard what I'm about to say…."

"You've said I get to stay in the class…."

"You get to stay in the class for the whole day…."

"Liking it even more…."

"Let her finish buddy…."

"Sorry dad. Sorry Miss Anderson…."

"That's okay Jack, as I was saying, you get to stay in the class all day BUT instead of 4th grade work, I could get 5th grade work from one of the 5th grade teachers and give you that work to do instead."

"That sounds good. I don't mind doing 5th grade work. And if I got stuck, you would still help me wouldn't you? I wouldn't have to go to the 5th grade teacher if I got stuck on the work would I?"

"No Jack I could still help you. But the 5th grade work might be a little more difficult for you than what I've got for you in the 4th grade. I'd make sure whatever 5th grade work I gave you fitted in with what I was teaching in the lesson so that you'd still have the same work as your mates, but it would be at a 5th grade level instead of the 4th grade level your mates were doing. The worksheets would look the same and I could co-ordinate with the 5th grade teachers so that I could still teach you what I would be teaching your mates but the work would be 5th grade work."

"What's co-ordinate mean?"

"Work together, like a partnership or a team."

"Oh right. Like you and your team do."

"Kinda buddy. So you like that idea?"

"None of my mates would know would they? That I was doing 5th grade work?"

"No Jack, though then you might find 5th grade easy, but we'll cross that road when we come to it…."

"And I'd get to stay in class, and you'd treat me like the others and I wouldn't stand out?"

"That's right."

"I REALLY like that idea. I don't care if I find 5th grade easy. So far 4th grade has been a piece of cake!"

"You might like to hear my 3rd possible solution but I'd work on getting that second solution in place."

"So what's the 3rd option Miss Andrews?"

"Well, this one might make you stand out but you could stay in class but instead of doing work….."

"I wouldn't have to do work?"

"No, you'd still do the work but cos you finish so quickly you could then go and help your mates get their work done and help them with any problems. Be a teacher's aide in a way. But you'd be helping your mates who might be struggling with the work."

"I could move around the classroom and chat to my mates?"

"Help them Jack. Like a tutor. Like what I do when I go round helping the others, you could do the same and just go round helping ANY of the kids, including the girls, do their work."

"I kinda like this one but why the girls? Girls have got cooties, and we boys have to stay away from them….we don't want cooties. I don't mind helping the others and my mates. But that would make me stand out….I don't stand out dad. I like being one of the guys and just being one of the class. Can we go for the second one? I'm not bothered about when I finally get into 5th grade, like you said we can cross that road when we come to it. But I don't mind doing 5th grade work. As long as I'm no different and don't stand out and no one knows my work is different AND I get to stay in the class all day and get to stay in the 4th grade, I'm happy."

"So would you like to do that buddy?"

"Yeah, sounds perfect. Can we go for that Miss Andrews?"

"We sure can Jack. That okay with you Aaron, I mean Mr Hotchner?"

"You can still call me Aaron, but yeah sounds perfect. But I wouldn't want to make any more work for you. Surely you have enough to do and to deal with."

"I don't mind really. It's no trouble. I just want to help Jack learn and I want him to be challenged. I'll start setting everything up and talk to the principal and the 5th grade teachers, see if we can't come up with a perfect 5th grade work solution for Jack so that everything I gave him fitted in with the lessons. But I'll work it out. It might take a week or two Jack so you'll have to bear with me."

"That's okay. Thanks Miss Andrews."

"Yeah Thank Miss Andrews. Let me know how things work out…." Aaron took a business card out of his wallet and wrote his cell phone number on the back before handing her the card.

"Sure Aaron. Thanks for coming in though. I'll talk with Principle Woods and the 5th grade teachers and let you know what possible solutions we've come up with. But I'm glad that I've finally found a solution that's perfect for Jack and where he's happy. But I really do think you should consider getting Jack's I.Q tested. He's so smart it would be worth it, really. I'd just hate to have a great kid like Jack fall through the cracks of the public school system."

"Maybe, I'll think about, but thank you. That solution sounds perfect. Let me know how things work out."

"Sure. Will do. So I'll see you tomorrow Jack?"

"We got school tomorrow?"

"Yeah, today is only Wednesday…."

"Aww…I was really hoping it was Friday. Dad is Uncle Dave ready for the soccer season on Sunday? And you ready?"

"Yeah buddy we're both ready. The other teams won't know what's hit them."

"Dad here is my team's soccer coach and Uncle Dave is our assistant coach. Cool or what? We keep winning games cos we're so good!"

"I didn't know you played soccer Jack? And I certainly didn't know you were his team's coach…"

"The other parents just stand there on their cell phones. They asked me as I at least got involved in the games. Been the coach for a couple of years. Dave's always been my assistant coach. He comes up with great strategies for winning. He's Italian and soccer is in his Italian blood!"

"So your team is the best Jack?"

"We think so. So far no team has beat us. We're awesome! Dad here is an awesome coach. He helps us warm up and tells us exactly what to do, shouting a lot but it works, along with Uncle Dave's great planning. Oh and my soccer skills and my teams soccer skills. We didn't start winning games until Dad here and Uncle Dave became our coaches. Now we're unbeatable aren't we dad?"

"We sure are buddy."

"What's you team's name?"

"Dad changed it. Now we got a cool name. We're the FBI super dudes. Cool or what?"

"FBI Super Dudes? Where'd that name come from?"

"FBI cos that's where me and Dave work, and everyone thinks the FBI is cool, super is short for super heroes, cos that's what Jack and all the kids see us as and dudes is Jack's idea. But it's a good one cos they are super dudes! You really should watch him play one day. He is such a good player. Scores most of the goals and last year was his whole team voted him top player and MVP!"

"Wow, I'd like see you play one day Jack."

"But you're my teacher. I only wanna see you in school….."

"We don't have to hang out but I'd like to see your team play one day…."

"We play games up at the soccer fields on Sunday mornings between 10 and 12. Games start at half 10 but we have to get there before half 10 to get sorted and warmed up."

"Dad, she'll see you in your soccer gear….."

"You wear soccer gear?"

"Team shirt yeah. Dave does too. But we both wear jeans. Only Jack and the team wear soccer shorts. In the summer when it's warm, I'll wear shorts. But I like to run around and warm up with the team. I go running most days anyway and love to run."

"I'm not doing anything this Sunday. I might come and watch you guys. What colours do you wear?"

"Black and red"

"You can't miss us anyway not with dad's shouting and our winning ways on the pitch!"

"In that case I'll come watch you guys play Sunday."

"Dad did you have to invite my teacher to my soccer game?"

"Sorry buddy, just happened. But I'll see you Sunday Miss Andrews. Come on buddy, we'd best be going. But thanks Miss Andrews and I'll see you Sunday. You can meet Dave as well."

"Looking forward to it. I'll see you tomorrow and the next day Jack, when, yes you do have school but then I'll see you play on Sunday."

"Don't tell my mates you're gonna be at my soccer game will you? They'll think there's something going on and that's just weird. Your my teacher. You need to stay in the classroom…."

"Don't worry Jack, we'll keep it between ourselves. Do any of your mates in this class play on your team with you?"

"Yeah, Sam, Tom, Tony, and George…..they're good players….although I'm still better. But George is a good goalie. Saves a lot of goals. I hope they don't see you….that would be weird…"

"Don't worry Jack I won't be seen near you."

"Your boyfriend might enjoy the game too by the way. It is a laugh as Jack's team beats the other team every time."

"I don't er…have one. Be nice to meet your girlfriend though."

"Don't have one."

"Dad you haven't had one since Beth and that was like 3 years ago. The only women you see now are Aunt Jess, Aunt J.J, Aunt Alex and Aunt Penny."

"Hey I'm not that sad buddy. I just work a lot and the rest of my time I'm your dad. But sure come to the game Miss Andrews. You might even bump into J.J and Will, Henry's parents. Will's a good friend to all of us and Jack calls him Uncle Will. Sometimes the others come to the games too. Matt loves soccer. James Blake, who's a doctor and Alex Blake's husband, loves coming to games when he's in town as he teaches at Harvard University. He always drags Alex with him! Dave is there of course and Morgan loves watching Jack play and Spencer goes cos Henry makes him as he wants his god father to watch his games, though I think Spencer would rather be somewhere else. Garcia loves coming to the games and cheering them on. Come to think of it everyone loves going to the soccer games, even Jess, sometimes….might see if she'll come to the game on Sunday."

"Wow the whole team goes to most of the games?"

"Seem to. Spencer, me, J.J, Will, Dave, are always there and the others come as and when. If you wanna meet them I can see if they will come. I think James is in town this weekend."

"Is Uncle James coming to the game?"

"Probably I can ask Alex buddy."

"Cool. And if Henry drags Uncle Spencer along Miss Andrews can meet the smartest guy in the FBI, maybe even the world!"

"I'd love to meet him Jack."
