The brillant idea for this story came from NickHotchfan. I'm writing this for her and co-writing this with her. I hope you all enjoy!

A day off after a heart breaking case was just what everyone needed.
Rossi had invited the men up for lunch, an afternoon of drinks and a friendly game of poker. The men gladly accepted his invitation.
It was early morning and Hotch lay peacefully sleeping next to Emily. His eyes blinked open against the harsh sunlight that flooded the room. When his eyes adjusted he looked to the woman still sleeping in his arm's embrace. The glow of sunlight captivated her in a golden ora. He brushed a few strands of her auburn hair that seemed to glow with a golden hue then running his finger along the outline of her face a smile beamed across it, as she snuggled more closely into him, wrapping her arms around him tighter. "You're so beautiful." He whispered.
"I love you Aaron."
"I love you too Emily Prentiss."
The intimate moment was happily interrupted by Jack bursting into the room with Saturday excitement. He jumped on the bed and was attacked by tickling fingers, sending roars of laughter resonating through the room.
Emily kissed his forehead and stood up. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Who wants to watch some cartoons?" Her face held a knowing smile, looking towards Jack.
"Me! Me!" Jack said jumping off the bed and running towards the living room.
"Me too!" Hotch said in a childlike manner, hopping off the bed. Emily was close behind giving his bottom a smack on the way out the bedroom door.
Reid was up early, digging into a good book. His finger fell down the edge of the page as his eyes flew over every word. Periodically he would pause to sip his coffee. Eventually he finished the book only to begin another. Time moved quickly in the early morning and when the sunlight began to spread its rays, across the wooden floor he made the decision to make breakfast.
Smiling to himself he set his book on the end table and drank the last sip of his coffee before his bare feet hit the floor, and carried him to the kitchen.
Morgan woke to the numbness in his left extremities. He desperately wanted to move but he didn't dare wake his baby girl who fell peacefully asleep during a marathon of Walker Texas Ranger. Her wavy blonde hair strewed about his torso as she shifted slightly against him, relieving the pressure on his left side.
He ran his fingers through her hair accidently catching them in a knot. "Ow." Were the words uttered from the blonde beauty who still had her eyes closed. "A slight bit more gently my love." She opened her eyes and looked at him sleepily first, squinting against the sunlight, filtering through her shear curtains. "What time is it?" She asked.
"Way past wake up time for a Saturday morning."
"Not for me. Girls night out requires a lot of daytime sleep but for you I might make an exception and make some breakfast."
Morgan smiled, "Baby Girl have I told you lately that I love you?"
"Only everyday handsome." Garcia patted his chest and said, "I'm up." Morgan helped her off the couch and watched as she picked up the empty popcorn bowl and said, "Dreaming about Chuck Norris is definitely a good thing."
"What about me?" Morgan replied.
"What, are you jealous?"
"You know I am."
Garcia laughed, "That's the way I like it." She said, her eyes teasing him.
Derek watched as she moved across the floor disappearing into the kitchen. He smiled to himself, then drifted off into a catnap until Garcia called for him.
"You boys have fun today." Emily told Hotch casually as he gathered his keys, sunglasses and stuffed his wallet into his back pocket.
"We will." He said, giving her a re-assuring smile. Hotch picked up his cell, clipping it on his belt, "Are you taking Jack to JJ's on your way out this evening?"
"Garcia is picking us up and I"ll drop him off with Henry when we get to JJ"s."
Hotch double checked himself, and said, "Well I guess I'm ready. I don't know what time I'll be home…"
"That's fine, just have a good time." Emily leaned in giving him a quick peck on the lips, unknowingly sending a pulsating surge through his body, tying his stomach in knots. She leaned back, sharing a stimulating glare from his piercing eyes.
Soon after Hotch felt little arms wrap around his leg, "I love you daddy."
Hotch picked him up, "I love you too buddy." He said squeezing him tightly in his arms. Then he set him back down watching him run to the couch, and once again becoming entranced by the cartoons. Hotch looked back to Emily, "I've got to pick up the guys, then we'll be at Rossi's."
Emily opened the door and pushed him out, "You're going to be late if you don't get out of here."
"Fine I'm gone." He leaned in for a lingering kiss.
Emily pulled away and said, "Go."
"I'm gone." Hotch walked off the porch with an extra skip in his step and called back, "I love you."
"Love you too." Emily said as she shut the door behind him.
Rossi plated the chicken parmesian, setting each plate on an embroidered place mat, then meticulously he placed the silverware and poured the wine. Giving a glance at the clock he abruptly became aware that it was fifteen past twelve. At first he shrugged it off chalking it up to laziness, but as the food became cold, and time went on he became worried.
With a phone call he hoped to settle his uneasiness on their whereabouts. His head raced with thoughts of a flat tire, traffic jams, car accidents, or a honey-do list.
Rossi's phone beeped under the pressure of his thumb as he speed dialed Hotch's number, with no answer he repeated this five more times, again being sent straight to voicemail.
His instinct told him something was very wrong, but before turning into a state of panic he dialed JJ's home phone. He was relieved to hear Will's voice on the other line. "Will, it's Rossi, is JJ there?"
"No, Garcia picked them up early. Is everything okay?"
"Hotch hasn't arrived with Morgan and Reid…" Rossi really didn't know what to say after that when he heard a two tone beep through the speaker of his phone. "Uh, thanks Will that's Hotch calling now. Bye." Rossi clicked over, "Hotch?"
"We got a flat tire in the middle of a traffic jam, I'm sorry but we wont' be able to make it."
Rossi's voice sounded a little disappointed, "Oh, do you need any help?"
"No we've got a tow truck on the way, I didn't have a spare."
"Okay, I'm just glad everyone is okay. Let me know when you make it home."
"Sure thing, bye."
"Bye." And Rossi heard the phone click off. Something just didn't seem quite right, but in the meantime it satisfied him just to hear is voice.
A woman pulled the phone away from Hotch's ear. Her slender body stood half cocked, and her hair fell over what was sure to be surgically implanted breasts as she said, "Well done…" The woman looked at his I.D. and continued "…Agent Hotchner. You just saved the lives of your friends."
Hotch didn't respond as he watched her move across the open room towards Morgan and Reid, his body stiffened, and he tried not to react.
The woman tossed her head, sweeping her golden locks behind her back, exposing the soft roundness of her face that gave an almost innocent look to her. Though Hotch watched as her actions didn't seem to be quite so innocent. She leaned down and pressed her soft pink lips against Reid's neck while simultaneously smelling the enticing allure of his cologne. "You sure do smell good." Reid flinched away from her and her seductive whisper.
Smiling she moved to Morgan. As she moved to Morgan she ran her hands, down the front of his chest as she stood behind him. Once she reached the upper part of his ripped abs she raked them back up his chest saying, "Mmmm…you feel good." She whispered in his ear. Morgan struggled against her in the chair, but the binds and tape on his mouth made it hard to move or say anything. "You sure are fiesty...I like that." She said.
Her eyes then went to Hotch. She smiled, and pranced over to him. Her hands clutched his knees and she ran her hands up his legs, stopping on the upper part of his thigh and said, "You will be my main attraction."
I would like to know what you think of the story! I realize there are a lot of unanswered questions and stuff that doesn't quite seem to fit together but it will!
