A/N: This is a general outline of the characters who will be involved in this story. I wanted to give you an idea of who was going to be involved and see if anybody would actually be interested in reading before I started posting the first chapter. Let me know what you think and if this sounds like it will be good. The story will be about this family and all the different struggles and triumphs they go through while trying to mend relationships and have a positive outcome in life. Hopefully it will be a long-term story if enough interest is generated.
Alexandra Haley Hotchner: 16 years old. Daughter of Aaron Hotchner and Haley Brooks. Trouble maker to say the least. She skips school, has failing grades, sneaks out, drinks, parties, all the things she isn't supposed to do.
Jack Aaron Hotchner: 16 years old. Son of Aaron Hotchner and Haley Brooks. He is respectful, nice, obeys his parents, and is the complete opposite of his twin sister. There are times he wonders if they really are twins or if one of them was adopted.
Elizabeth Nicole Morgan-Hotchner: 13 years old. Adopted daughter of Aaron Hotchner and Derek Morgan. Your typical teenager. She has her rebellious moments, but she isn't as bad as Alex yet. She generally listens but she wants her privacy, which she earns by being respectful of the rules and her parents.
Matthew James Morgan-Hotchner: 10 years old. Adopted son of Aaron Hotchner and Derek Morgan. He is very energetic and loves to run around and play. He also likes to annoy his older siblings in any way he can, just so he can get them in trouble when they get angry at him.
Logan Michael Morgan-Hotchner: 6 years old. Adopted son of Aaron Hotchner and Derek Morgan. He is very rowdy, runs around all the time and needs constant supervision. He is constantly trying to beat up on his siblings, and often ends up getting hurt himself, which gets everyone else in trouble.
Ashlynn Justine Morgan-Hotchner: 4 years old. Adopted daughter of Aaron Hotchner and Derek Morgan. Quite a brat for her age. She takes after Alex, following her around and acting like her with the attitude. She doesn't listen well to her parents and is very often found in time out. She does not play well with others and thinks she should get whatever she wants.
Derek Morgan: FBI Supervisory Special Agent in the BAU division as a criminal profiler. He is a hard ass who has gone through a lot in his life. He knows what is out there and he tends to carry his work over to his family life. He knows that it's hard for Alex to accept him as a parent, since she has only ever seen him as a friend and coworker of her dad. For this reason, she doesn't feel it necessary to follow his orders, though he and Hotch are trying to work on this. Jack accepts him all the way and loves having him as a second father. The rest of the children are pretty good with him, except for Ashlynn, whom he isn't too happy about following in Alex's footsteps.
Aaron Hotchner: FBI Supervisory Special Agent and Unit Chief in the BAU division as a criminal profiler. He also has had a hard life and his work tends to be shown in the way he is very overprotective of his family. He has problems managing with six children, when both he and Derek are away all the time. Having two daughters who are rowdy, when one of them is supposed to be old enough to know better doesn't help either. He wants a better relationship with Alex, though he knows she still resents him for getting with Derek. His relationship with his other children is good for the most part, though he is seen as the bad cop of the family most of the time.
