About half an hour later, Jessica returned to the hotel room to find the main lights off and the sound of silence. Peeking into Aaron's room, she saw the guy was asleep in his bed. She'd already decided that she would have to force the issue of persuading Aaron that she really could help him. All the others at the table had more than encouraged her to help her brother in law and everyone had offered to take Jack from them if they wanted to do it.

Jessica quickly took a shower, pulled on her nightgown, brushed her teeth and used the bathroom before heading to bed. Except it wasn't her bed!

She slid into the empty right hand side of Aaron's double bed. Being a light sleeper, Aaron was woken by movement in the bed. He was lying on back and was startled to find Jess climbing into his bed!

"JESS! Go get in your own bed!"

"No, I wanna sleep here!"

"Why? this is MY bed!"

"Actually it's a hotel bed bro! You don't own it!"

"You still got your own room NEXT DOOR!"

"Do I really make you THAT uncomfortable Aaron?"

"When you try and share my bed, YEAH!"

"You know the guys and I kept talking after you left….they TOO think it's a good idea. Even offered to have Jack for us…."

"Jess, please go get in your own bed. Either that or I will!"

"You go, I go….!"

"Why can't you leave me alone? I told you I don't want to have sex with you!"

"You also told me, you wanted sex, I was good looking, you trusted me, you know me, I know you, and you won't find another woman…."

"Haven't NOT won't….yet!"

"You know it would only be sex bro? Not like I wanna marry you. Though Jack's idea is a good one…"

"Reminds me, me and him have still gotta have that guy talk…"

"Why, he's only 9, you got another couple of years or more before he starts changing…"

"Yeah but he really wants to understand WHY our relationship would change, that it would be more than just living together and it would be more than simply a sharing a bed to sleep in if were to get married. He doesn't understand what it means to be man and wife."

"Oh right. Still got all the innocence of a young boy."

"Yeah and he doesn't understand about sex or the birds and the bees thing. That I've still got to tell him one day."

"You know he's old enough to understand most of the more basic aspects of all that now."

"I know but like any kid he still just wants one big happy family of mom dad and him, which my job destroyed. Even though he knows he will always have both his dad and aunt, I don't think its quite the same for him, no matter how much we try. He will always miss and love Haley, that I'll make sure he doesn't stop doing, but I think all he really wants is a new mom, which I can't give him at the moment. Probably why he see's you as a possible mom as you do all the things for him a mom would whilst his dad is having to try and be both a dad and mom to him, which is hard."

"But which you are really doing a great job at bro! I know it can't be easy, especially with the job you have, even with me taking care of Jack for you. Of course no one can replace Haley as his mom. She was too great a mom to live up to. But your always there for him so why wont you let me be there for you in this matter?"

"Because I really don't want to ruin the great relationship we have now and risk Jack losing his aunt, just because his dad wants sex…."

"What would change or how would the relationship be ruined? It would just be a way for you to get that sexual relief. I know you already help yourself, which I don't wanna think about but, bro, you really do need a woman to sleep with. So, if I'm the only woman you see outside of work, then, why not me?"

"If we were to…er…have sex, then I don't think we could be brother and sister as we'd see each other in a new light. Plus if Jack found out I'm not quite sure what he would think of his dad and aunt having sex. Plus I respect you too much and think you of too highly to think of you that way."

"I'm honoured that you think so highly of me Aaron but it would just be physical sex. We could still have the great sibling relationship we have now. I wouldn't see you as anything different. We could still be the same people and still act the same around Jack. He would never have to know unless you decided to tell him. I would never say a word to him unless I'd talked to you first. But not only is your body desperate for it after over 2 years of not getting any apart from your own hand, which is gross to think about, but you really want it and I really do think it would help you both in getting the relief, lifting a huge weight off your shoulders and being able to de stress and have someone to have that physical intimate contact with."

"I'm just not sure I'D see you in the same light….plus how could we still act the same and have the same great sibling relationship we do now?"

"So if we started having sex, you'd see me and think of sex?"

"I don't know. Maybe. But I don't think I'd be able to see you in the same light…."

"You don't think of sex all the time now do you? Or you didn't think of it all them you were around Beth or Haley did you?"

"No but they were different."

"How? they were still women you were around a lot…."

"Yeah but me and Haley were man and wife, and me and Beth were boyfriend and girlfriend. Sex was part of that relationship anyway. It's not part of our relationship."

"We're still really good friends Aaron and have a great brother sister relationship. The sex won't change any of that. I'll still be Jack's Aunt and your sister in law and you'll still be Jack's dad and my brother in law. Why would sex have to change any of that?"

"I'm just afraid it would Jess. And I don't want to ruin the great friendship, trust, family bonds, and especially Jack's only real Aunt just for sex. I can do without sex I couldn't do without you in our lives."

"What if I promised you that the sex wouldn't change a thing?"

"I still don't know. Can I at least think about?"

"Sure Aaron. But can I ask you one question?"

"Go on then."

"IF I were NOT your sister in law, would you have sex with me?"

"Jess you can't ask me that!"

"Just humour me? Do you not find me attractive or anything?"

"Course your good looking and attractive. But your my sister in law in Jess. Don't ask me that. It's not fair."

"Come on Aaron, humour me, would you have sex with me if I weren't your sister in law. You only have to answer yes or no…"

"Fine, yes. Now can you please move back in your own bed?"

"Fine just sooner or later this vacation you're gonna have to give in to those urges even if its by yourself….bro!"

"Er….thanks but….."

"YOU naughty boy! I hope you cleaned up after yourself….."

"Didn't need to…er…had a shower at the same time…."

"Aaron Hotchner! OUR shower! We all have to use that shower! Wait I took a shower just now…BRO! You could of told me…"

"Stuff went down the drain. Left the shower clean…..now GET OUT of my bed sis PLEASE!"

"Fine, fine Mr grumpy pants! I'm going for now!"

She giggled at enjoying having teased her brother in law as she got out of his bed and went to her own bed.

He eventually managed to fall back to sleep.

The next morning at 6am, the room phone rang. Luckily Aaron was already awake, having just woken up needing the bathroom and the phone had started ringing when he was heading back to bed.

"Hello?"

"Hey dad its me."

"Hey buddy. You okay?"

"Yeah, Uncle Will and Aunt J.J are still asleep but I wanna come back. Can I? It's only 2 doors down."

"I'll come get you. Be there in a second buddy."

"Okay dad. Thanks."

"No problem buddy. I'll see you in a second."

Aaron put down the phone and grabbed his room key. Just as he was about to leave, Jessica came out of her room.

"Where you off to in your pyjamas bro?"

"Jack wants to come back but J.J and Will are asleep so I'm just gonna go get him."

"Oh right. He okay?"

"Yeah think so. Think he just wants to come back."
