It's been a couple days now since that night. The night she slept with Aaron Hotchner. Since that night, things have been weird between FBI Special Agent Emily Prentiss and her Superior Aaron Hotchner or Hotch.
That night, they were coming back from a case they had just solved in Texas. It had been an exhausting case for all them since it involved children. No matter how long they have been doing this, it never gets easier when it involved kids.
Hotch's divorce from Haley was finalized a month ago. She got full custody of Jack, but he's free to see Jack whenever he wants. He has been with Haley since High School that it felt so weird to be a free man again. It never once crossed his mind that he and Halley would ever get a divorce. But the job took its toll on the marriage. No matter what he did, his job demanded more and more of his time. And for that reason, he and Haley had drifted apart and as much as he thought he loved Haley, he loved his job more because he wanted a better and safer world for Jack. When Haley demanded that he leaves BAU after Erin Strauss suspended him for two weeks and he already put in his request for a transfer to a different department, but his team needed him and he needed them. He also knew that he would never be happy working anywhere else but in BAU.
When Emily Prentiss first joined BAU, Aaron Hotchner was skeptical about her. He knew she had connections because she was an Ambassador's daughter. But she proved herself to him and to the team. And what impressed him even more was that she was willing to quit the FBI for him. She quit because she didn't want to rat on him. She knew that the team needed him and like what she told him, she hated politics.
