He heard the knock on the door and took a deep breath. Just because he had called her over here didn't mean he wasn't nervous as hell to be doing this. How did you tell a woman like her, who carried at least one gun, that you were in love with her? He sighed. Oh he was going to be shot.

"Come on in. Thanks for coming" he said, watching her brown eyes sparkling in worry and excitement. Little did he know that she loved him as much as he loved her.

"Thanks Hotch. How are you guys holding up?" she asked as he helped her slide her coat off. He smiled at her tenderly, watching as her brown locks fell against her shoulders.

"Jack's having a hard time. I promised him a trip to the zoo tomorrow if he got some sleep. So far so good" Hotch said glancing at the clock. "He's already gotten more sleep than he did last night. I don't think either one of us slept a wink last night" he said. Emily's eyes softened sympathetically. She knew it was hard for them, but…. She trailed off as her eyes caught sight of the almost empty whiskey bottle and the glass sitting next to it. All sympathy for that man left her body.

"You got drunk while your son is sleeping down the hall?" she hissed. Hotch stiffened realizing too late his mistake. Emily pulled her hand back and smacked him square across the face. Aaron's hand moved to cover the burning flesh. "I love you, you jackass, but getting drunk isn't going to solve anything especially if you can't be there for your son!"

"You love me?"

"You got drunk!" she shot back. She paused when she realized his question. Oh crap. She did admit to that small fact didn't she? Oh she was a moron. It had only been a year since his ex and Jack's mother had been killed and here she was barging into his home and telling him things that should have stayed hidden. "Oh jeez, I'm sorry Hotch. It just slipped…." Hotch cut off her rant as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her mouth hungrily. Emily wrapped her arms around his neck to hold on to him. He tasted of whiskey and peppermint. Emily loved it. They pulled away, both breathless as Aaron leaned his forehead against hers. "I love you, no matter how much of a moron you can be" she whispered. He grinned. It looked good on him.

"I love you too, no matter how much you insult me. You can keep me on the straight and narrow" he said. Emily grinned. God did he love her smile.

"I think I can do that" she replied, leaning forward to capture his lips in a fiery kiss once again. Hotch smiled against her lips. Oh yeah, he defiantly liked his sudden realization.
