"We have to get this stuff into you room without anyone noticing" I said as we pulled into the hotel parking lot.

"Why not your room?" Hotch asked.

"JJ and I share a room she would notice" I said.

"You know it would be a lot easier if you hadn't bought half the store" he hissed at me.

"Hotch give me your case" I said.

"Why?" he asked.

"I'm going to put some of the stuff in it, my purse and the take out so that we won't have to make so may trips" I said logically.

"Fine but we'll never get the presents or the tree in any of those places" he said.

"We'll come back once everyone is asleep" I replied.

"Ok by the way you know when we I agreed to decorate I did not agree to by a tree I said a few snowflakes maybe some gargled if we wanted to go all out, you went out and bought a tree a nine foot tree Emily we'll never get it back to DC" he said.

"I know I am going to donate it to the shelter" I replied.

"Emily how are you going to eat you have to be almost out of money" he said

"No that's not even all my holiday money I still have all my food money and about another five hundred in holiday money that we can spend" I said.

"NO I'm cutting it off no more shopping" he said as I stashed stuff in case and bags and we set off up to the hotel.

"Ok fine but only because we are in a hotel and I wouldn't want to impose on them. But next year I am decorating your house" I said, "Completely"

"Over my dead body" he replied.

"Yes I am and you are just going to have to deal with it" I said.

"Ok but only if you let Jack help" He said as the elevator dinged as we reached our floor.

"There you guys are we were starting to get worried" JJ said walking up.

"We got take out on the way" I said handing them each there respective dishes. Then slipping my purse and the rest of the bag into Hotch's room where Hotch was standing.

"Are you coming" I said grabbing his case throwing it on the bed and dragging him out of the room.

"Coming where?" he asked.

"Bar" I replied.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because I want eggnog or hot buttered rum so let's go" I replied dragging him to the elevator.

"Ok go order your drink so we can go beck up" he said as we reached the door.

"No we are staying here so that they can go to sleep in peace we might as well plan where things will go while we're here" I said grabbing a napkin.

Once the planning was done we ordered another drink then went to get the tree, back down to the SUV and grabbed the stuff out of the car then headed back up.

We put all the decorating stuff in Hotch's room and left the door open.

"Ok I'll start with the tree you cut up the snowflakes and put the fishing line on them, the papers in your case so is the fishing line" I said.

"Yes boss" he said I laughed trying to stay quite as I pulled the tree out and started to put it together.

"Don't do that if I start laughing it might wake someone up" I hissed.

"Ok" he replied.

"How are the snowflakes coming" I asked as I finished putting the tree up and started on the lights.

"There's like six done why?" he asked.

"Move faster I already have the entire tree up" I snapped.

"Christ Woman I'm trying" I laughed pulling the lights around and starting to tuck the chord so that you couldn't see it.

"Well we don't have a year we have a few hours and I need your help with ornaments so you're going to have to go back to those later" I said running into Hotch's room and grabbing the ornaments that I had bought, blue and white balls and some more personal ones like a set of sparkling butterflies for JJ and a few others. Hotch jumped up off the floor and came over to the tree.

"Start with the blue balls then we'll do the white we'll go the personal stuff last" I said, putting the stack of ornaments in his hands.

Once the ornaments were up we went back to the snowflakes.

"You don't have to answer but I was wondering if I can ask you something" Hotch said.

"Yes go ahead" I replied.

"You said you don't sleep. Why?" he asked, I didn't know quite how to answer so I paused thinking, "I'm not asking as your boss you know I'm asking as the person sitting here making snowflakes I just wanted to know" he added encouragingly.

"Promise you won't judge me for it" I asked.

"Of course not" He said setting down the scissors and snowflake he was cutting

"Honestly the nightmares" I admitted he reached out and wrapped his arms around my shoulder.

"Emily just because you have nightmares doesn't mean you shouldn't sleep" He whispered pulling me into his lap and taking the scissors and snowflake away from me.

"I know that I just don't really want to because I know what waits if I sleep and I don't really want to wake anybody up, so why don't you sleep?" I asked turning the conversation on him.

"I guess because I can never turn my brain off so it just doesn't happen" he replied.

"We need to get back to the snowflakes" I said standing up out of his lap and moving back to the scissors and snowflake.

"Ok but when we're done here will you please try to sleep" He asked.

"Maybe t depends on what time it is" I replied.

"Deal so let's get moving," He said, starting to cut up another snowflake as I attached fishing line to mine.

"Ok you keep making snowflakes I am going to put up the garland and mistletoe" I said.

"Did you even think about the fact that Morgan should not be around mistletoe?" Hotch asked.

"Yes I decided that if he can't behave then we will have to take it down but for now it will go up" I said grabbing a chair and putting it up.

"We are fianly done bed time" Hotch said. it was 4 in the morning and we had to get up at five.

"Alright but we are getting up at five to see the teams reaction" I replied Hotch walked up to his roomto put the stuff away. Hotch fallowed then stopped.

"What" I asked.

"You and your mistletoe" he said leaning over and kissing me. I nearly screamed but then realized what had just happened.

"You can stay in my room tonght so you don't wake JJ going back" he said. I nodded walking into his room ne shut the door behind me.
