Chapter 2
Hotch had called Hyacinth back that evening. She gave him directions to her Country Club Hills neighborhood home, and asked if he could pack swim trunks for Jack. Apparently she had a "small" indoor pool. Ever since, he kept imagining her in that green bikini. She had said that if he was in town, and wanted to spend some more time with Jack, that he was welcome to join them for swimming, dinner and cake. So here he was, bringing Jack to her house, and carrying a bag with trunks in it. He couldn't remember the last time they were used, but they still fit. He hated to miss out on time with Jack when he was here, so he decided to take her up on her offer. Seeing her in a bathing suit, and spending time with her was just a bonus.
Some of the homes in her neighborhood were unreal. Country Club Hills was the most expensive neighborhood in Arlington, and that was saying something. He pulled up to her house, and was pleasantly surprised. It was a large, French Country house, that was bordered with numerous, flowering bushes. Her backyard appeared to be blessed with many large trees. All in all, it was a beautiful place. He got Jack out of the car, and they grabbed their bags. Hotch knocked on the door, and it was answered by Winky. "Hello! How are you boys today?" She asked. "Hello Winky! Where are James and Andrew?" Jack asked, excitedly as they walked into the foyer. Hyacinth walked down the stairs at that moment. She was wearing a red, one piece bathing suit, and a short cotton robe. The tie was undone, and he could see her generous cleavage, and shapely legs. "Hello, Jack! They are in their room putting on their swim trunks. Do you want Winky to show you where?" She said, hugging Jack hello. He seemed to revel in the physical affection she gave him. "Please, Hya!" Jack said, sweetly. "Ok, Mister Jack! Follow me." Winky said, cheerily.
"Hello, Aaron. Have you decided to join us?" Hyacinth asked. "Yes. Thank you for the invitation." Hotch said. "Let me show you to a room where you can change." She said. "You have a beautiful home." He said, admiring the open floor plan of the first floor. "Thank you so much! I had some renovations done, and it wasn't ready when we moved here. We had to stay in a hotel for a month! Let me tell you, it is no fun staying in a hotel for that long with two four year olds. It was worth it in the end, though." Hyacinth said. She opened a door on the left, and they entered a huge sunroom. The pool wasn't exactly small, but it wasn't large either. The pool went from two feet deep, up to six. The dark blue tiles gave it calming look. "There is a bathroom/changing room, right through there." She pointed. "Thanks." Hotch said, and went into the room. The room was large, and had a big glassed in shower, toilet and sink on one side of the room. The other side contained some benches, and several cubbies built into the wall. Hotch quickly changed, while trying not to think about how beautiful Hyacinth was. She looked hot as Hell in red, he thought. He hung his clothes in one of the cubbies, then opened the door.
"...and he swoops through the city, fighting bad guys! He even wears a cool costume, with a cape! Batman is the best!" One of the twins was saying, and Jack hung on every word. "That sounds like Daddy! He finds bad guys, and takes them to jail! He doesn't wear a costume, though." Jack said. "I wonder if he keeps it at work." He said, seriously. Hyacinth was looking amused at the boy's conversation. The twin's eyes got round, and they looked at Hotch in wonder. Hotch was slightly uncomfortable with that. "Oh, good. Now we are all ready to swim. Let me get in first boys, then I'll help you in." Hyacinth took off her robe, and walked into the water. His eyes were automatically drawn to her ass. He was right, it was truly spectacular. With her lightly golden skin, dark hair, and green eyes, she looked gorgeous in red. The suit was modest enough to wear around the boys, yet low cut enough to show plenty of cleavage. He couldn't take his eyes off her.
Hyacinth couldn't take her eyes off him. He was wearing dark blue board shorts that looked great against his pale skin. He obviously took care of himself, as he had a sculpted chest, and a six pack. He was all powerful, lean muscles. He looked yummy, and Hyacinth knew she was in trouble. They played in the water for a couple of hours. Hotch and Hyacinth chatted when there was a lull in playing, and Hotch got to know her and the boys. For their part, the twins were not sure at first how to interact with him, but finally decided to treat him like Uncle Fred and Uncle George. They had a great time, and it made her slightly wistfull. She wished they had a father who was involved in their lives. After they got out, they seperated to get cleaned up. Hotch and Jack got a shower in the bathroom by the pool, while Hyacinth and her boys got a bath upstairs. When they were all clean, they met in the kitchen. It was a large room, completely open to the living room. There was a huge island that seperated the space, a large gas stove, and a huge refridgerator. There was a small fridge that pulled out like a drawer, that contained juice boxes and snacks.
Hyacinth pulled out a large glass bowl, that held dough that was seperated into balls. "Ok, so Andrew and James wanted to make our own pizzas." The boys cheered. "I've got the dough premade, and the toppings pre cut. Let's get aprons on, and get started." Hyacinth said. They had a great time making pizzas, and got quite messy doing it. They both helped the boys, and each made their own pizza. Once the pizzas were in the double ovens, Winky took the boys to clean up. Hyacinth was making a salad to go along with the pizza, and Hotch sat at the island and watched. "Would you like something to drink? I have wine, soda, three kinds of juices and milk." Hyacinth offered. "A soda sounds fine." He said. Hyacinth opened the large refridgerator, and pulled ou two cokes. Hotch got a glimpse of a large, round cake, decorated as a soccer ball. He wondered how she delt with the constant reminders of Oliver Wood. "So, where did you get a cake that was ball shaped?" Hotch asked. "Oh, I made it. I usually try to make all their birthday cakes. They taste better that way." She said. "That's impressive." Hotch said, suprised that she made the cake herself.
"The next dinner we eat together should be something other than pizza, I think." He said a few minutes later. Hyacinth stopped chopping tomatoes, and said; "Is that your way of asking me out?" Hotch looked at her. "Yes. I would like to take you on a date." He said. He was nervous. He couldn't think how to ask her out, so he just blurted that out! What was he thinking? Hyacinth was suprised. She had heard he hadn't dated since his ex wife died. "That would be nice, but only if we agree that if something goes wrong, we wont let it effect the boys' friendship." Hyacinth said. "Absolutely." Hotch said. He was extremely happy that she said yes. "If you want, I'm sure Winky wouldn't mind watching Jack. That way, the boys would be together, and you already have the background check done." Hyacinth offered. "I just might take you up on that offer." Hotch said. They saw the boys coming down the stairs, so stopped talking.
"Ok boys, we need to set the table." Hyacinth said, and handed the boys some paper Batman plates. "James, you make sure everyone gets a big plate for pizza. Andrew, you make sure everyone gets a napkin and fork. Jack, you make sure everyone gets a small plate for cake." She said. The pizzas were taken out of the oven, and they smelled delicious. Soon all the pizza and the salad was on the table, and they started eating. Everything tasted great, but the boys were anxious for cake. Finally, Hyacinth pulled the cake out of the fridge, to many ooh's and aah's. After they sang Happy Birthday, She cut the cake into pie shaped slices. The boys had argued about whether the cake would be chocolate, or vanilla. Hyacinth had just marbled it to compromise. The cake was delicious, and all three boys had two pieces. Hotch himself was tempted, and he didn't eat many sweets! Soon after was presents. They had already opened the gifts from the family and Winky, so it took no time at all for the twins to open the action figures they got from Jack. Hotch couldn't help but think about the fact that they had never had their father at their birthday. Hell, they'd never even met him!
