When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceivingothers. That is what world calls a romance. – Oscar Wilde

Chapter 1.

They are embraced, watching television, when Aaron, with a big mental effort (it has been at least 15 years since he doesn't flirt with someone), draws her towards him and kisses her forehead. She rests her head on his shoulder.
After a few seconds, their lips shyly meet to become bolder and bolder.

"Daddy!

Daddy!

I'm thirsty!"
"He's thirsty!" Aaron says, embarrassed, while he gently moves a wisp of hair behind her ear.
"the little Hotchner can do all this and more," she answers, smiling.

Aaron stands up puffing, and after taking the water from the kitchen, he brings it to Jacks bedroom.
After ten minutes, the two resume where they were interrupted: they passionately kiss on the couch, as if they were still teenagers.
Their lips looking for each others, their tongues tangled and the hands under their shirts.
Driiiiiiiiiiiin
Driiiiiin
They don't move, paying attention to the insistent sound coming from the phone, forehead against forehead.
Sighing, after reading the name on his display, Aaron knows that he has to answer.
"I'm sorry, I've got to take this one."
"Yes, I understand." She replies, fixing her shirt, laying on the couch.
"Yes." […]
"Yeah.

Try to rest, you'll see that nightmares won't come tonight. [..]

and if they come, we'll talk about it tomorrow. [..]

Right, goodnight!"
After ending the call, the man tries to kiss again the woman beside him, but she denies herself.
"I thought it was a work call. I thought it was for this reason that you wanted to answer." She says, resentful.
"Yes and no.

I mean, it wasn't a work call, but it concerned my job. A person dear to me is suffering from nightmares, and sometimes she calls me to face them better."

He hastily answers, kissing her again.

-The night after-

Driiin
Driiin… Driiin

Aaron turns his head towards the clock, which shows it's 2.35am.
He answers the phone, while the woman beside him wakes up.
"Hotchner! […]

Ok, stay calm! […]
I'm on my way.

Don't worry about Jack, he's at Jessica's. I have someone who takes care of him. […]
No, I didn't have company. Stay calm, I'm coming."
The woman is totally awake, she lays on the bed, watching him going around the room to pick his clothes up.
"where are you going Aaron?" she asks, still sleepy.
"I have to go!" He says, without adding anything.
"where are you going? This is our night!"
"I have to go, she needs me! I should come back before the dawn." He explains, going out.
"AARON!" she yells.
"Beth! She's in a dark hallway where she can't find a way out! I have to go! I'll come back at 5am. I'll go buy some donuts."
"you can go home, after that. I think I' won't be in the mood to eat donuts for breakfast!"
The woman sighs to show her disapproval, trying to sleep again, but couldn't. She can't find calm knowing that the man she goes out in months is at his colleague's home, where they'll be alone, where she says she's having nightmares, so he can cuddle her!
This Emily Prentiss starts to be annoying as smoke in the eyes!
