Also Chris and Meg do not exist in this story so Kate is single

There can only be one

JJ was not in a good mood as the week had taken a turn for the worst in regards to Kate's crush increasing and she was not shy to flaunt it.

On Tuesday,Hotch had announced they were on standby for ten days but needed them to work for the next two days to ensure they had an uninterrupted week of holiday which was great ,except JJ's good mood soon turned sour when she noticed that Hotch having moved to the bullpen seeing as to his office was deemed off-limits due to some minor repair work being done had taken the desk next to Kate .

"So, Hotch doing anything interesting on the stand down?" asked Kate innocently enough.

"Probably just spending some quality time with Jack" said Hotch although JJ could see the slight pain in Hotch's eye when he mentioned his son's knew it was because the team had done back to back cases that Hotch had not spent much quality time with his son lately.

"Great,I was wondering if you and Jack would be interested in accompanying me for a movie this weekend?"asked Kate. "That's a great idea actually,I know Jacks been wanting to watch the new superhero movie if that doesn't bother you?" asked Hotch."No not at all,I do happen to enjoy superhero movies,plus at least I'll be accompanied by the best –looking guys in the malls"said Kate flirtatiously while simultaneously twirling her brunette hair unconsciously.

JJ's body stiffened when she heard Kate asked the question and felt herself deflate when she realised Hotch had acquiesced to Kate's offer of a movie together.

"Alright ,it's a date then "said Hotch while throwing Kate a smile .

JJ felt her heart break when she heard those words from Hotch and shatter into tiny pieces when she saw Hotch give Kate one of his rare smiles." Those smiles are only meant for me not anyone else" thought JJ angrily and while she was deeply upset by the interaction that had transpired in front of her it only strengthened her resolve to battle Kate for Hotch's love.

Kate might have won this battle but JJ was going to win the war as she had too much to lose if she didn't make Hotch see that she had completely fallen heads over heels for her stoic Unit Chief.
