"Is JJ going to be my new mommy?"

Hotch turned around and looked down to face the source of the small voice. Jack stood in his blue plaid flannel pants and white t-shirt, which he had picked out himself, insisting to match his father. He knelt down.

"What do you mean?"

"I dunno." Jack fiddled with the drawstrings of his pants. "We're staying at her house a lot, and you sleep in the same bed like you and Mommy did."

Hotch knelt down to the six-year-old's level. He opened his mouth to speak, but his son continued before he could say anything.

"I like JJ. She's nice. She makes good waffles."

The older Hotchner smirked and nodded. "Yes," he said. "Yes she does."

Jack sniffed. "She's making them now!" He bounded down the hallway to the kitchen, where he sat down, cross-legged, across from Henry and watched the three-year-old play with his cars. "Are you making waffles, JJ?"

JJ smiled and looked down at the boys. "Yes, I am. Do you want chocolate chips in yours?"

"Yes!" Jack grinned, and JJ grinned back. She looked at her son.

"Henry?"

"Choc-wit chips," he said, crashing two cars together.

Jack laughed, and heard his father laughing as well. He looked up to see Aaron walking past him and Henry towards JJ.

"Are you gonna kiss?" he asked, his face contorting in disgust.

JJ and Hotch exchanged a look and chuckled.

"Maybe," said Hotch, smirking.

"Ew!" The boy tapped Henry on the shoulder. "Let's go play in the room, Henry. They're gonna kiss."

"Kiss," Henry repeated.

"It's gross. You don't wanna see it." He helped the smaller boy stand up. "Let's go." He gave Henry a moment to gather his plastic cars before taking his hand and leading him to the bedroom they'd shared the previous night.

"So," Aaron said once the boys were gone, "are we going to kiss?"

JJ bit her lip and smiled. Placing a warm waffle on a plate, she turned to face him, wrapping her arms around his waist. "If you want to."

He smiled.

"Oh," he said. "I want to." He leaned in, leaving an inch between their lips. "I definitely want to." With that, he closed the gap.
