Chapter Two, Day One.

Haley was hoping that when she woke this morning, she would be home, and would relize that last night was just an awful dream with a somewhat happy ending. But, that isn't what happened. Insted of waking up in her bed at home, she woke up in an extra bedroom in Hotch's appartment. She walked out to the kitchen, wearing a pair of his sweatpants and one of his shirts, and found Hotch making breakfast, and Jack sitting at the table.

"What time is it?" Haley asked, becoming fully aware of her headach.

Hotch turned and smiled softly at Haley, "A little after nine."

Haley nods some, rubbing her forehead.

Hotch frowned slightly, "you okay?"

"Yeah, I just have a headach." Haley said quietly

Hotch nods some, "Do you want any asprin?"

"Please." Haley said her voice still quiet

Hotch got the bottle of asprin from the cabnit, and gives her two asprin.

"If its after nine, why aren't you at work?" Haley asked after she took the asprin

"I want to be here for you and Jack, after what happened last night and all." Hotch said, his voice soft

Haley smiled softly and nods some.

"Mommy, Daddy's makin' pancakes." Jack said, happy

Haley smiled at Jack, "Is he?"

Jack nods

Hotch went back to making pancakes

"And only have of them are burnt." Jack said, smiling

Haley laughed some, "I'm not sure he's made pancakes in a while."

"I haven't for close to six months." Hotch said, watching the five pancakes he was cooking at the time, he glanced at the eight or nine that were burnt and sitting on a plate next to the sink.

Haley followed Hotch's gaze, "Wow. A lot of burnt pancakes."

Hotch chuckled

"Mommy, you gonna eat some pancakes too?" Jack asked

Haley hesitated

"There's plenty." Hotch said softly

"Sure, if they aren't burnt." Haley said, smiling

Spencer Reid was in the breakroom getting his second cup of coffee by the time Morgan got there.

Morgan walked into the breakroom just in time to see Reid add three spoonfulls of sugar, "how many did you add before I got here?" Morgan asked, chuckling as he got his own cup of coffee

"I need the sugar and caffine this morning." Reid said, sounding and looking tired, but in a way, happy.

Morgan frowned some and was about to say something when Prentiss walked in.

"Reid, you look like hell." Emily Prentiss said, shocked because Reid usauly was always put together and looking nice.

"I know," Reid said, adding another spoonfull of sugar to his cup of coffee.

"I think you've got enough sugar in that cup." Morgan said, "it's haft sugar already."

"How many spoonfulls did he add?" Emily asked Morgan

"Four since I've gotten here, who knows how many before I got here." Morgan said with a slight shrugg.

Reid sighed as he carried his cup of coffee out of the breakroom, leaving Emily and Morgan to talk about his coffee and how much sugar he put in it.

Emily frowned slightly, "I wonder what happened that has him...like that." she said, seeing Reid go to his desk and prop his elbows on his desk and hold his head in his hands.

Morgan followed Emily's gaze.

After Breakfast

Jack went to get dressed

Haley started picking up the plates

"I'll get those." Hotch said, going to take the plates.

Haley moved so the plates were just out of his reach, "I've got them." she said, smiling.

Hotch sighed some and smiled, "Okay."

Haley smiled and took the plates, setting them in the sink and rinsing them off.

"You really don't have to do that." Hotch said, his voice soft as he stood next to Haley

"I want to, after all, you are letting Jack and I stay here." Haley started and Hotch gently put a finger to her lips

"Don't," Hotch said softly, "you and Jack are family,"

Haley smiled softly

"I'm dressed." Jack said, coming back into the kitchen, his hair still messy.

Haley turned to face the young boy

Hotch chuckled seeing that Jack's hair was un-combed.

"What about your hair?" Haley asked, a smile finding its way across her face, "How about you go comb it?"

Jack nods, "Okay." he said, and ran off to comb his hair.

Haley smiled and turned back to Hotch, who was still smiling, Haley rolled her eyes slightly.

"What?" Hotch asked, smiling.

Haley shook her head, "nothing." she said as she walked out of the kitchen to see if Jack was combing his hair.

Jack had his hair combed and walked over to Haley, "How do I look now?"

"Very nice." Haley said, smiling, she had noticed long ago that Jack was starting to look a lot like his father.
