Chapter Two

Rossi stood outside Julia's room while Aaron was in the room talking with Julia, she was telling him what all she remembered about the attack, she tried not to cry but when Aaron noticed the tears, he gave her a comforting hug, which she returned and hugged him back, as her tears rolled down her cheeks, Rossi watched Julia and Aaron together and saw how he was able to comfort Julia, he hoped that he would be able to do the same soon, he needed to give Julia time to heal from her attack, he had to take it slow and be cautious at the same time.

Aaron remained by Julia's side as Rossi watched, thinking how he was gonna make up for lost time with Julia, he wondered why he had never been told that he had a daughter, it kinda upset him a bit but now he had a second chance to be involved in Julia's life, he was gonna make sure that she knew, that he was gonna be there for her, he just hoped that she would give him that chance to make up for lost time, he wanted the chance to be her father.

Julia looked to Aaron as he told her that Rossi was her father and he wanted to see her, hearing this, surprised Julia and she told Aaron that she would like to see her father, Aaron nodded in agreement, before he stood and left the room to chat with Rossi and to inform him that Julia would like to see him, hearing that Julia wanted to see him, made Rossi's mind flutter and he thanked Aaron before he went into Julia's room and closed the door behind him, he was a little nervous.

Rossi was nervous but Julia was too, she had no idea what to expect from Rossi, but she was willing to give him a chance to be there for her, she just hoped that it would be the start of a new chapter in both their lives, Rossi wanted to do things right with Julia and prove to her that he can be a dad to her, he just hoped that he would not mess up his chances with his daughter, he had to prove that he wanted to be involved in her life.

Even as the team worked the case, they still had no idea that Julia was Rossi's daughter, both Rossi and Aaron wanted to keep it quiet for a bit longer, they had to do this right and get the UnSub caught once and for all, as Aaron hoped that Juila would give Rossi a chance to be a part of her life, Rossi didn't want to mess up the chance to be a dad to Julia after all these years, Aaron just watched Julia with her father, hoping they could form a relationship.

Julia remained hopeful about building a bond with her father after all these years, she knew that he wanted a chance and she was gonna give him that chance, she told him this and Rossi smiled knowing that Julia was giving him the chance to be a dad ti her after all these years, he was gonna take it and be a good father to her, he had to hope that it would be the start of a fresh chapter in both their lives, Rossi wanted to be a good father to Julia now and just hoped that he would be.

Aaron went to see Julia later that night, she was still awake when he came into her room and closed the door behind him, he wanted to have some time with Julia, she knew that she liked him, only she was wary of what might happen between them, Aaron sat up beside her, she softly smiled as her eyes connected with his and she wondered what would happen next, when he tells her that he really likes her, when Julia tells him that she feels the same way towards him, Aaron smiled softy then asked if he could kiss her, when Julia nodded in agreement and Aaron leant in and placed a soft kiss on her lips, when Julia kissed him back, her hand resting on his cheek as they kissed.

Julia smiled as they broke their kiss, Aaron was glad that he'd bitten the bullet and told Julia how he felt and now he knew that she felt the same way about him, he then suggested that they keep it a secret for now and Julia nodded agreeing to his idea, she wanted to be his little secret and she told him this, Aaron smiled knowing she was his secret girlfriend.

Aaron was happy to be with Julia and he was gonna protect her, he cared about her so much and he just wanted to make her happy and enjoy their relationship together and see where it leads them, Aaron was getting tired and so he headed off home, but he shared a goodnight kiss with Julia before he left, he softly smiled knowing how lucky he was to have Julia in his life in the way he had now, he knew how much she meant to him, he cared deeply about her and wanted to make her happy.

Julia went to sleep that night, thinking about Aaron and knowing how happy she was now that she had agreed to be his little secret from the team and also Rossi as well, this made Julia want to keep her feelings for Aaron a secret but he would be the only one who knew just how she felt towards him, Julia cared about him and just wanted them both to be happy with each other, she trusted him and knew that he trusted her too.
