A/N: Hello. I mostly write fics on NCIS, but I'm going to try a Criminal Minds fanfic.
This was promted by an RP I'm in, along with previous shows of Criminal Minds I have been watching, I was watching the episodes prior to, and after the episode '100' and I can't get three thoughts about it out of my head 'What if Hotch was able to save Haley?' 'What if Hotch asks her to re-think the divorce?' and 'What if I put my own little spin to there story, make it interesting, and post it on ?' Also, I have only been watching Criminal Minds for about two years now, so I am fairly new to the Criminal Minds world, so if I make mistakes on the timeline, or make a character seem a little AU at times, please just be nice and pm me about it or even leave a review, but like I said, please be nice about it. I like critisizum, as long as it isn't worded meanly. Also, I haven't seen every single episode yet, but I am working on it.
Anyway, I was rambling, I hope you enjoy this story.

Summery: What happens when Hotch challenges Haley to let him try and make her fall back in love with him? A lot of drama. Mostly centered around Hotch and Haley, but has the whole team in it, and some past team members...SET AROUND THE TIME WHEN HALEY WAS KILLED EXCEPT HOTCH SAVES HER! VERY AU (sorry if that upsets anyone)
Chapter One
Hotch sat in his office, upset because Foyet had escaped from prison, he had a bad feeling.
The team had all gone home, and the office was dark, it was a little past 10 in the evening. The office was dark, as was most of the BAU, there was a sole desk lamp on. The small amount of light shown through the thin blinds that were drawn to keep Hotch's office reculse in a sense. Hotch frowned some as he stood up, and walked out of his office, he was wondering who left there desk lamp on. He walked over to the desk, it was Derek Morgan's desk, he frowned deeper as he shut off the desk lamp and decided to go home. Hotch shook his head some, "You're going to your appartment, not home, home is were Haley and Jack is." he said to himself as he walked out of the BAU. He silently rode the elevator to the parking garage and then walked to his car, deep in thought, he knew he had to be careful, Foyet was lose after all, but he kept thinking about the desk lamp. No one else was in the office, he had made sure he was the last one there today. Why would the lamp be on, Hotch was sure Morgan shut it off, he knew Derek, and knew he always shut his desk lamp off. The it came to him. Foyet had been in the office, he was playing with Hotch like the sadistic bastards like Foyet do. Right then Hotch knew where he had to go, and what he had to do.
Go home. The home where Haley and Jack are. Unprotected. Hotch had to get there fast, he knew Foyet would kill them.
Hotch ran to his car and drove home quickly, on his way his phone rang, he answered it, hoping it was one of the team.
"Hotchner." Hotch answered
"Aaron, its Haley." Haley said, Hotch breathed a small sigh of relieve. He knew she was alive, but didn't know if she was safe. He needed to get a hold of the team, but didn't want to get off the line with Haley in case Foyet got there first, he needed to know she was alive.
"Haley, listen to me, you and Jack are in danger." Hotch said, his voice slightly paniced
"What? The Marshal said-" Haley started
"He isn't a Marshal, Haley, you need to get somewhere safe with Jack." Hotch said
Haley glanced at Foyet, who was posing as a U.S. Marshal, "Are you sure?" she asked Hotch quietly
"As sure as I can be." Hotch said, "I'm on my way, just stay on the line with me and go somewhere safe in the house."
Haley bit her lip some
"Haley, you there?" Hotch asked into the phone, worried that something happened
"Yeah, I'm here." Haley said
Hotch breathed out a sigh of relieve, "Go somewhere safe in the house."
"Okay, I'll call you back in a bit." Haley said, she was on the home phone that wasn't cordless.
Hotch frowned slightly in worry, "alright," he said, though he hated the idea of not knowing if she and Jack were alright.
Haley hung up the phone, and looked behind her at the serial killer posed as a U.S. Marshal, "would you like something to drink?" she asked, trying to act normal
Foyet looked at her, "who was that on the phone?" he asked
"My soon-to-be ex husband." Haley said, feeling unsure of her plan to offer him something to drink then take Jack somewhere, where could she get to from the kitchen? The basement.
Foyet nods slightly, "water, please."
Haley nods some and goes into the kitchen, Jack followed like she had hoped he would
"Daddy was on the phone?" Jack asked as they walked into the kitchen
After the door from the living room to the kitchen was closed Haley puts a finger to her mouth to tell Jack he needed to be quiet, she then picked him up and quietly hurried to the basement door. She quickly opened the door. It creeked, she cringed some and quickly pulled in shurt behind her and Jack and locked it.
Foyet heard and went into the kitchen and to the door.
Haley hurried down the stairs and hid amongest the stuff in the basement.
Foyet got irritated by the door since it could only be locked and un-locked from the inside.
Hotch drove home as fast as he could without losing controll of the car, he had called Rossi and told him, Rossi said he would be over there as soon as he could and that he would call the team.
Foyet shot the doorknob of the door and made his way down the stairs, "You shouldn't have done that." he said sadisticly, "now you've mad me mad." he started looking for
Haley swallowed hard and held Jack close, she prayed Hotch would get there soon.
Hotch pulled into the drive and got out, leaving the keys in the car, he had his gun drawn and was quickly making his way into the house, he was quiet though.
Foyet was searching the basement for Haley and Jack.
Hotch looked through the living room, then the kitchen; noticing the basement door had been shot and was open; he made his way down the stairs.
Foyet heard Hotch coming down the stairs and hid behind some boxes.
Hotch paused slightly at the bottem of the stairs, looking around, his gun still drawn. He knew Foyet was still in the house, but he didn't know if Haley and Jack were alive or not, but he hoped and prayed the were.
Foyet came out from his hiding spot, coming up behind Hotch, gun lowered slightly.
Hotch turned quickly after seeing Foyet's reflection in a dusty mirror, knocking both Foyet's and Hotch's guns across the room.
Foyet and Hotch fought.
Haley didn't hear the fight start, figuring it was Foyet losing his temper while looking for them, she looked at the young boy in her arms. "Jack, listen to me," Haley whispered to Jack.
Jack looked up at his mother, his eyes fearful.
"I need you to crawl in between the boxes to hide," Haley told Jack, pointing to the boxes farest way from the noise, "don't stop untill you reach the wall." she added quietly
Jack nodded sadly and silently.
Haley swallowed hard as she watched her son slowly crawl out of her arms, she gently kissed his forehead and hugged him, then let him do as she told. Haley knew there was a good chance she would die, but she wanted Jack to survive weather she did or not. She sat in the same place, and held her knees to her chest.
Foyet pushed Hotch into a wall, and Hotch returned with a kick to Foyet's stomach, making Foyet fall into a bunch of boxes and hit his head on the mirror; which shattered, rendering him unconscious.
Hotch stood up and handcuffed Foyet to a pipe, for once glad the basement was un-furnished.
Haley had heard the mirror shatter, she hoped it was because Hotch had gotten there.
"Haley, Jack?" Hotch called, his voice slightly hoarse, he knew Foyet would have only come to the basement if he was following them.
"Aaron?" Haley asked only loud enough to be heard.
Hotch moved towards the sound, and when he got to her, he knelt next to Haley.
Haley smiled a small smile, she was glad to see Hotch, "Jack's hiding behind those boxes." she pointed to the boxes, "he's okay."
"Are you?" Hotch asked, his voice soft.
Haley nodded some, "I'm just a little shaken up."
Jack ran over and hugged both his parents.
Haley hugged Jack and Hotch.
Hotch was suprized by Haley hugging him, but hugged her and Jack back.
The team showed up.
"Hotch!" Derek Morgan called into the house
"Downstairs." Hotch called
Morgan came downstairs, followed by Prentiss and Rossi.
Hotch stood up, holding Jack, and held his hand out to Haley to help her up.
Haley smiled softly, took Hotch's hand, and stood up.
Within Twenty Minutes
Haley and Hotch were sitting in the back of an ambulance, looking out at the team and the red and blue lights that were lighting the now dark night sky.
Jack was with Reid, talking.
There was an awkward silence between Hotch and Haley.
"I was scared I was going to lose you and Jack." Hotch said quietly and softly
Haley looked at him, she smiled sadly.
"I'm sorry." Hotch added quietly, looking Haley in the eyes
"For what?" Haley asked softly
Hotch sighed some, "If I would've transferred." he started
"Shh..." Haley sushed him softly, "I'm glad you didn't transfer."
Hotch frowned some, "But that's the reason you and Jack were almost killed, and why we got divorced.."
"Hey," Haley said softly, "working at the BAU makes you happy."
"I was happier when I was with you." Hotch said quietly, turning to look forward
"Is that why you still haven't signed the divorce papers?" Haley asked softly
Hotch looks at his lap a moment, "Yeah,"
Haley didn't say anything for a moment.
"One month." Hotch started.
Haley looked at him again, "Huh?"
"Give me one month to make you fall back in love with me, and to make you happy with me again, and if I can't make you happy and love me again, I'll sign the divorce papers." Hotch said, looking at her
"Aaron." Haley started
"Its a month, Haley, please." Hotch said softly
Haley thought a moment, "Alright."
