The Show
Chapter 2
JJ cringed as the gym door pushed open and slammed into a group of chairs. The group hurried to their seats. Hailey stood up to let the group in Morgan went in first followed by Gideon, Reid, JJ, Emily and Hotch. When the twins saw their daddy they immediately began to fuss to get out of the stroller. Penelope quickly unhooked the twins and passed them to Morgan who got them quieted down. Brenn began to fuss once she saw her friends were not going to join her back in the stroller, Penelope took her out and passed her to JJ who covered her in kisses then she passed her to Reid so he could do the same.
The choir consists of each grade, which would perform a song or musical skit. The whole choir performed the first song together, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, they then performed The Twelve Days of Christmas. After the songs the curtain was closed for a quick set change.

Backstage
Cindy was helping the children get in to costumes and lined up for the next song. The second grade was singing the song and doing the skit expect Cindy always picked one kindergartener to be in the skit and this year she chose Tony Reid. She loved his personality he could be shy at times but when he wanted to do something he put his whole heart into it plus he had a smile that would light up a room. She walked over to help him with his costume noticing that he looked happier than earlier.
"My Aunt Penelope came and she said my mommy and daddy are coming to see me" he said smiling
"That's great sweetie. I'm glad to see you happier now" she said
"You ready?" she asked taking his hand
He nodded as the children went to get in their places.

"I think Tony's skit is next" JJ whispered to Reid
"What is he playing?" asked Gideon he had heard what JJ said
"I don't know he wanted it to be a surprise but he has been practicing next door with Cindy for weeks. I've caught him dancing in his room but he chases me out when he sees me" she said smiling.
The curtain opened and the second grade class filed out and stood on their spots, waiting for the music to start.
The music started and a woman's voice began to sing
"You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen" she sang from back stage
"Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen" the choir joined in
As the children on stage sang the rest pranced out on stage dressed in all brown and reindeer antlers.
"But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?" Cindy sang as she walked out on stage"Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerHad a very shiny nose,And if you ever saw it,You could even say it glows." They sang together
Tony poked his head out from behind Cindy and came prancing out. He was dressed like the others except he had a bright blinking red nose. He began to do his well practiced dance.
"All of the other reindeerUsed to laugh and call him names;They never let poor RudolphJoin in any reindeer games.""Then one foggy Christmas Eve,Santa came to say:"Rudolph with your nose so bright,Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"Then how the reindeer loved himAs they shouted out with glee,"Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer,You'll go down in history."
In the middle of the song there was a rock n roll feel as they all danced around to it. They then began to repeat the song.
"Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer,You'll go down in history." The choir sang to end the song
Before the music stopped the others dressed as reindeer cheered and Cindy handed Tony the microphone so he could
"Thank you, thank you very much" he said with his lip curled and did a little hip shake
The audience clapped but an uproar of cheers came from the middle isle, making Tony beam. He gave a quick wave before the curtain closed.

Backstage
Todd was watching the skit with Jack backstage when he heard heavy breathing. He turned to see Jack almost hyperventilating.
"Breathe buddy you're going to do fine. Just breathe" Todd said soothingly rubbing Jack's back
"What if I trip and fall on my face?" Jack asked
"You won't but if you do I know you will get right back up because that is what Jack Hotchner does" said Todd
Jack gave Todd a small smile.
"Jack" came a muffled cry from behind them
Jack turned to see Tony come up with his turtle neck pulled up over his mouth as he tried to pull the shirt over his head. Jack helped take the shirt off the excited boy.
"Jack their here I heard my mommy and daddy cheering when I was on the stage. So that means your daddy's here too" Tony said bouncing up and down. Then Cindy came and took him to stand with his class until time for them to sing.
Jack looked a little more relaxed at hearing the news and gave Todd a big smile.
"There's that Jack attack smile I know. Your mom and I got you something. We'll call it an early Christmas gift." Todd said as he handed Jack a box
Jack's face lit up when he opened the box to reveal a black leather jacket.
"Oh wow thanks Todd it is so cool" he said putting the jacket on. He then put his hand in the pocket and pulled out a pair of sunglasses.
"I already asked Mrs. Henderson and she said that you could wear the jacket and glasses while you dance. So maybe it will help with the glare of the lights and not make you so nervous" Todd said
Jack put the glasses on and let Todd slick back his hair. With the black jacket, glasses, white t-shirt, jeans, and his hair slicked back Jack looked like he just stepped out of the fifties.
"Wow the Fonz had nothing on you" Todd said
"Who?" asked Jack
"Never mind just go get in your place " Todd said smiling and shaking his head
Jack gave him a quick hug then went to get on his spot.

Jack went and took his spot with Caitlin on stage before the curtain opened. Caitlin was dressed in white turtle neck and a blue skirt with a pink poodle on it. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail with a pink ribbon tied on it. The rest of the dancers were dressed the same way as Jack and Caitlin.
"You look really cool" Caitlin whispered to him
"Thanks, you look pretty" he said blushing
Soon the curtain was opened and the music started. Jack felt himself slip once when he had to jump back in the song but he didn't think anyone noticed. Before he knew it the song had ended and he was smiling like crazy at Caitlin as she was at him.
After the other grades did their song and the Kindergarten class preformed All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeththe show was over and Todd came back out on stage.
"Were they wonderful or what" he said and the audience clapped
"Ok I'm going to dismiss everyone from here" the students began to cheer
"Ok Ok wait but before you leave you have to check out with your teacher. Parents please make sure your child's teacher knows you have them. Bus riders you will wait and your teacher will take you to the bus port. Please enjoy and have a safe Holiday you are dismissed." He said and waited for the chaos to start.
Reid went to get Tony from his teacher while the rest of the team waited in the middle of the gym for them. JJ heard Tony coming before she saw him so she quickly turned around
"MOMMY!" he shouted as he tackled her
"Oh my little man I missed you too" she said laughing then she kissed him all over his face
"Hey there's the reindeer leader. Where's my hug?" asked Emily holding her arms open
Tony began to give everyone a hug. Soon Jack and Todd walked up. Jack threw his arms around his mom
"Thank you for the jacket"
"You're welcome baby you look very handsome" she said rubbing his back
"Hey dad" Jack said hugging him
"Hey buddy, I see you got your mother's talent for the stage " Hotch said
"No way I'm never doing that again I thought I was going to puke" Jack said
The others were chuckling when Caitlin ran up to Jack
"um… Merry Christmas" Caitlin said as she shoved a present in his hand then kissed him on the cheek and then ran all away across the gym
Jack's jaw dropped to the floor.
"I bet you twenty dollars that he is in the next play or musical she is in" Todd said
Hailey popped him on the arm.
"Ok so what time does he need to be at your house?" Hailey asked Hotch changing the subject
"Four is ok" Hotch said
Soon everyone left the school with plans to meet at Hotch's house.
