I never planned to post another chapter to this story, but everyone was so kind with comments and reviews that I thought I would give it a shot. I do not understand how to reply to the emails I receive once I post a story so if anyone has time to PM me with that info, I would really appreciate it. Again thanks for your encouragement. I love the characters Criminal Minds, writers and actors, have created and cannot get enough of them so I write about them.

Here is where we left off last time:Now I have a question for the two of you. Why don't you try the fun part and actually get under the sheets together? Everyone at the meeting is left speechless, as Hotch takes a seat and actually smiles.

It takes everyone a good five minutes to gather themselves. Once this happens, Garcia starts talking about the case and neither her nor Morgan mention their "couple question or status again". The case is reviewed and Hotch says, "Wheels up in 30."

As everyone begins to leave the conference room, JJ asks Emily to stop by her office to take a look at something. Once in her office, she shuts the door and burst into uncontrolled laughter followed immediately by Emily's laugh. Emily gains control long enough to ask, "Can you believe the words that came out of Hotch's mouth? I thought I was going to fall off my chair." JJ smiles and says, "You, I wanted to get up and do a funky dance. I was so happy to hear it being said out loud. Do you think they will actually do something about it? I cannot wait to see how this plays out with Morgan and Garcia."

Meanwhile, Rossi had followed Hotch back into his office. Once there he sits in the chair and smiles. While Hotch sits at his desk and grins. After a moment or two, Hotch's grin turns into a frown. "Do you think I went too far with my words to Morgan and Garcia? I always try to be professional in my position but I just could not take it anymore. How can the two of them be so blind? I know Garcia is not a profiler but she could get Morgan to bring the moon to her if she asks. While Morgan is a one of the best profiler's in the FBI, but he cannot see how Garcia feels about him? Hotch asks Rossi. "I know on some level they both know how the other one feels but something is stopping each of them but admitting it. Maybe we can get Reid to play emotionally dumb and prompt them some questions to get them thinking along the right lines," replies Rossi. Hotch says, "Count me out, I got to involved today."

Reid smiles as he leaves Morgan and Garcia in the conference room and heads into the kitchen/lunch area for some coffee before the jet leaves.

Garcia keeps her head down as she gathers her papers and iPad before starting to leave the conference room. Morgan grabs her arm as she starts to leave. "You, Babygirl, are just going to leave after the words and smile that came out of Hotch?" asks Morgan. "Um, I, I do not know what Hotch was thinking saying something like that to us. I mean I know we asked why people think we are a couple but to say what he said. "Do you think Hotch is angry with us? Have we pushed our flirting too far that he would say something so crazy to us?" asks Garcia. Morgan smiled and said as he was leaving. "It does not sound that crazy to me."

For the second time in less than two hours Garcia was left speechless. Garcia arrived back in her office and started searching for information on the latest murders. Unfortunately her mind continued to wonder to Hotch's comments about her and Morgan. Why would he say something like that? He never gets that personal and to be smiling when he said it. This has to be some kind of trick. But what and why would Hotch and Morgan play a trick like this on her? The BAU members were her family and friends, why would they hurt her this way? After 45 minutes of talking to herself, Garcia decided they must have all decided her flirting had gotten out of hand but did not know how to tell her. Was this her family's way of saying enough is enough? After all if Morgan really had an interest in her, he had hundreds of opportunities over the years to pursue her. They had been alone hundreds of times and in various states of undress so she was convinced he never had an interest in her. Morgan was never one to be shy and if he was interested in a woman, he told her. With one final thought on the matter, Garcia decided she would stop flirting and be professional to all of the BAU members when they called, especially Morgan.

Even as the plane was landing in Denver, all the team members still had a small smirk on their faces. Everyone but Morgan. The look on Garcia's face when he told her "it does not sound that crazy to me" left Morgan very concerned. Garcia looked terrified when Morgan made the comment. How after all their years of flirting could she not be at least a little interested or curious about the two of them as a couple. Hotch was right, they had the hard part of being a couple down.
