The Hotchner family was making their way through the morning as they usually did. They had woken up, brushed their teeth, changed, and were now in the kitchen for breakfast. Emily was pouring coffee into two mugs for her and her husband, Aaron getting cereal for the kids. Jack was sipping his milk at the table, sitting next to his little sister Avery, who was coloring a picture she started the night before.

"Mommy look how pretty my doggy is!"

"It's very pretty sweetheart."

"You didn't even look."

"I did too, you just didn't see me because you're still coloring."

"Daddy, mommy is lying!"

Hotch chuckled, glancing at his wife who was getting the milk from the fridge, before pouring the cereal into the two bowls on the table. "I don't think she's lying, sweetie."

"I didn't see her look!"

"Because you didn't look up."

"Oh. Ok daddy."

Emily scoffed as she set the milk on the table, getting a small kiss from her husband. "Didn't I just say that?"

Just then there was a blaring horn from outside, and a voice through a megaphone.

"Goooooooood morning Hotchner family! It's Ty here, come on out!"

Both Hotch and Emily shared a stunned look before grabbing the kids and running outside. Emily ran with Avery on her hip, and Hotch with Jack on his, into the muggy day only to see a huge bus with Ty Pennington and his team standing in front of it. Emily let out a scream before getting pulled into a hug by Ty himself, and Hotch with tears in his eyes.

Last year a hurricane had hit, destroying most of their house. They had no roof in part of the living room, and most rooms had constructive damage. They hadn't found any extra money to fix any of the damages, so their only hope was sending a video to Extreme Makeover. And it worked.

Ty pulled out of Emily's hug to see tears in her eyes, and Avery hanging onto her mother's neck. "You must be Emily."

She nodded and put her hand over her mouth, speechless.

"As you know, my name is Ty Pennington. And… I'm here to fix your house!"

Hotch set Jack down, who began hugging most of the team, and pulled Emily into a hug. Avery was in Ty's arms, watching her parents cry into each others arms, and turned to Ty.

"What's wrong with my mommy and daddy?"

Ty laughed and held Avery closer to his chest. "They're happy."

Emily and Hotch led the team into the house, camera following their every movement. Hotch took Ed Sanders into the kitchen, for him to witness what had occurred.

"Wow."

Hotch nodded as they looked around. "There was a major hurricane last year, on my daughter's second birthday, which practically tore down half the house. Right here," he pointed to the window. "In the bottom corner, the glass just broke out of the pane. We've gotten it fixed numerous times, but it keeps breaking. And when there's a draft, my daughter gets sick." He looked up to see Ed's eyes on him. "She's allergic to almost everything, and since she's young she doesn't have the best immune system. She's gone to the hospital several times, just because of a cold."

"Why the hospital if it's a cold?"

"The doctors give her some treatment, I don't remember the name. But it's so she doesn't get pneumonia."

Ed nodded, before pointing over in the direction of the sink. "What's the whole over there?"

"Oh, we had a termite infestation. That's only one of the hundreds of holes around this house."

…

Paige Hemmis follwed Jack into his room, and smiled down at him. "Can you show me around your room, Jack?"

Jack smiled and nodded, before running to the wall nearest his bed. He pointed to a picture before slowly removing it. There, under the poster, was a huge hole, half covered in plaster.

"What happened there, buddy?"

"My daddy says a tree came through and left this here. It's really big!"

Paige smiled at the young boy's giddiness before sitting down on his bed. "You have lots of cars around here. Do you like cars?"

"Yeah! They're really fast and can kill you! My mommy and daddy fight bad guys, and they gots cars and stuff too."

"That sounds super exciting."

…

Avery ran into Jack's room, shortly followed by Michael Moloney. "Avery, I thought we were going into your room."

Avery nodded before smiling at Jack, and opening a small door near the closet of the room. She walked in, followed by the other three. "This is your room?"

"Yeah. Sometimes I sleep here, but then I sleep with Jack 'cause I gets sick lots. Then I sleep with mommy and daddy sometimes 'cause I gots bad dreams."

Michael knelt next to Avery and smiled slightly. "Sweetie, this is a closet. A big closet, but still a closet." He watched her nod, her wavy hair dancing around her shoulders. "But its really warm in the winter so I sleeps here."

…

Emily walked into her living room, shortly follwed by Ty and a camera man.

"What's that hole?"

She looked up too see a hole penetrating their wall, just above the television and small window. "That happened on Avery's birthday last year. The hurricane threw a tree right through, and we haven't had the money to fix it yet." She turned to him with teary eyes. "You'd think two FBI agents would have enough money to at least take care of themselves and their kids."

Ty smiled slightly, coming to stand in front of her. "I heard you husband say in your application his brother, and your brother, both died on this property too?"

She nodded slowly, wiping the tears from her eyes. "There was an accident, and one of the wires wasn't hooked up correctly in our stereo set we had outside. Both were electrocuted and are buried at a family gravesite we have a couple miles away."

"Their names were Sean and Michael."

Emily nodded, looking at him with sad eyes. "I can't make my family live like this anymore."

Ty nodded, pulling the crying woman into a hug. "Don't worry. We're gonna fix it, I promise."
