A/N: I'm not going to make up lame excuses for not updating this, when the truth is, I had writers block…there! I admitted it… *tears in my eyes* *being overly dramatic*…ANYWAY! I AM FINALLY UPDATING THIS! YAY!


Chapter three, Day Two

Haley stood by the window, looking out at the dreary, raining day. She held a cup of hot chocolate in her hand, "Yesterday it was so sunny, bright and cheerful and today…" she turned to face Hotch, who was leaning on the table

Hotch nodded, "Nice enough for our picnic." He remembered the picnic they all went on

Haley nodded, "Where's Jack?"

"Sleeping still."

Haley frowned slightly, "What time is it?"

"Not even ten." Hotch said as he looked at his watch, "9:42."

Haley nodded, "Oh…I thought it was later." She covered her mouth as she yawned, hoping since he was looking down, Hotch wouldn't notice the yawn

"You haven't been sleeping properly." Hotch noted, looking up at her with concern in his eyes

Haley smiled a half-hearted smile and shook her head, "No…not really." She admitted in a small, soft voice.

"Because of Foyet." Hotch sighed, "I'm sorry Haley…I should've-"

"Stop." Haley said softly but firmly, "it isn't your fault, how many times have I said that in the past three days?"

Hotch smiled slightly, "I believe its been close to 92…"

Haley rolled her eyes, "Okay, smartass." She turned back to the window

Hotch chuckled and stood up all the way, he walked the short distance between them and gently put his hand on her shoulder, "Haley…"

Haley looked up at him, "Hmmm?"

"You need sleep." Hotch said gently

Haley nodded, "Yeah…but I can't."

"Haley," Hotch sighed

"No…I've tired, I've layed down and closed my eyes and waited…even being incredibly tired I can't sleep." Haley said, she was speaking quietly, like there was a baby or small child in the same room as them.

Hotch thought a moment, "Want to watch a movie? Maybe you can fall asleep on the couch."

Haley seemed hesitant at the offer

"If you don't want to…"

"No, I want to…only if you'll actually watch the movie with me." Haley said softly, sometime while talking they had gotten a bit closer and now Haley's hand was on his chest.

Hotch smiled and nodded, "You pick the movie."

"You never want to watch movies I pick." Haley smiled

"That's because there too…too action packed." Hotch said, chuckling, "when I'm home I don't want anything similar to work."

Haley smiled

"We could watch Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico." Jack offered, looking at his parents, smiling wide.

Haley and Hotch both looked at Jack, then Haley looked at Hotch, "Why not?"

Hotch nodded, "Okay." He goes over and picks Jack up

Haley walked over to them, smiling.

Hotch carried Jack to the sofa and set him down on it, he took the movie out of his son's hands and opened the case as he walked over to the TV and DVD player

Haley sat down and carefully hugged her son

Jack smiled as he waited for the movie to start, he hugged Haley back and sat on her left leg.

Haley gently stroked Jack's hair and kissed his head, waiting for Hotch to come sit with them.

Hotch walked over with the remote to the DVD Player and pressed 'PLAY' on the remote.

Haley carefully slide closer to Hotch, with Jack still sitting on her leg.

Hotch smiled and put his arm around Haley.

Haley smiled and rested her head on Hotch's shoulder, feeling safe and happy, and why shouldn't she? She had her two boys with her.

That's how the Hotchner family spent the second (very rainy) day since Foyet tried killing Haley and Jack. They watched four Scooby-Doo movies together


I cant tell you how many times I've written and re-written this…about seven or eight times, I think…and this is the first I've been even somewhat happy with it.

Please Review! Even if its to 'yell' at me for not updating sooner
