The 4 men stood chatting for a while until Will excused himself to go wake up the 2 boys sleeping in his tent.

Will gently shook Jack and Henry awake and waited for them to put on their shoes and climb out of the tent. Jack stood funny, holding his stomach.

"Uncle Will where's my dad?"

"Over there…why do you need help with something?"

"Yeah I have to go potty….can you get him for me?"

"Sure." he smiled and then shouted towards the 3 men. "HEY HOTCH! JACK NEEDS YOU!"

"I'll be right back…" Aaron excused himself from the 2 men and hurried over to his son.

"Buddy, what's wrong?"

"I need you…" Jack indicated towards the toilet tent.

"No problem, let's go.."

Matt watched Aaron lead his son to the toilet tent and then watched with curiosity as Hotch stood outside as if waiting or standing guard. He saw an arm pass jeans and underwear through a gap in the door and Hotch stood holding the clothes for a quite a few minutes before handing them back through the hole. After a little bit of time, Jack came out of the tent and stood cleaning his hands with some alcohol gel whilst Hotch took a shovel dirt into the tent, presumably to throw into the hole inside before re-emerging, putting the shovel back down outside the tent and using some alcohol gel on his own hands. As Jack ran off towards Henry with Spencer and Will, Aaron, after first going around the back to pee, walked back towards him and the others.

"Sorry about that Matt."

"I saw you standing outside. You standing guard or something?"

"Yeah. Jack is too nervous to use the tent unless I'm standing guard. He doesn't want anyone to walk in on him whilst he's in there."

"I can understand where he's coming from. What's with you holding his clothes though?"

"He finds it easier to use the hole if he takes his jeans and underwear off so I just hold onto the clothes whilst he's busy."

"I may never see you outside the bureau Hotch but I can already tell you're one hell of a good dad."

"Thanks Matt. I appreciate that."

By 5pm, dinner was ready and they all sat eating the boiled beef and boiled potatoes. Whilst J.J washed the dishes, Blake heated up water for coffee and cocoa whilst Morgan went to get 10 bottles of beer for the adults , and Dave and Will went to get their guitar and harmonica.

Once the water was heated everyone made coffee and Dave also made Jack and Henry their cocoa before everyone stood drinking the hot drinks.

"So how's everyone coping with the limited coffee?"

"We're all finding it okay, well apart from Spencer who not only misses drinking so much coffee but misses having tonnes of sugar in each drink."

"Oh yeah I heard about your coffee flavoured mugs of sugar Spencer…."

Once the hot drinks had been finished and the mugs washed, everyone sat down around the campfire for the fun to begin. As usual Jack sat between his Aunt Jess and dad and Henry sat between both his parents. Matt sat to Hotch's right, with Jack being on his left.

"So any requests?" Dave got his guitar ready, Will doing the same with his harmonica.

"How about Surfin' USA by the beach boys?" Spencer surprised everyone with his outburst.

"Let's go…" They all broke into song with Dave and Will accompanying them on the instruments, trying to laugh as they sang.

After that, to Jack's persuasion, Matt was surprised as Hotch sung 'Hey Jude' by the Beatles, everyone joining in the choruses.

After that Morgan moved to sit temporarily next to Matt and he, Hotch and Matt did a version of Bryan Adam's All for Love, from that 3 musketeer's film.

Then, for fun and because it was from a film Jack and Henry had seen, Jack participated in an animated version of The Jungle Book's I wan'na be like you (i.e the monkey song) with Spencer and Hotch, which sent everyone into fits of laughter.

After that, because everyone knew the words from the

traditional song, everyone bellowed out to 'Drunken Sailor' with Morgan and Spencer drumming along.

After that song finished, to Garcia' suggestion, they all sang to 'We are Young'

Morgan then did an impromptu performance to his baby of a clean version of 'For The First Time' by The Script.

Matt was impressed by both Morgan and by Hotch, having never known they had this side to them. In fact he was also amazed by everyone else, especially with Dave's guitar playing and Will's harmonica playing.

They finished off the evening with another version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, just for Matt as he'd missed the great version they'd done the night before and because everyone loved it and then finished off with repeat versions of Billy Joel's Piano Man and Queen's We Are The Champions at which they ended with loud cheers. Matt couldn't believe he'd had such a great time with the whole BAU team and their families. Like the 2 boy's, he too was saddened for the evening fun to end but Dave promised them another night of fun singing.

After everyone had helped clean up and put out the camp fire, during which time Will took both boys to their tents to let them change into their pyjamas, everyone started the night time preparations before turning in.

"Wow! I certaintly didn't expect that Hotch!"

"Surprised then?"

"Yeah, it was brilliant! So see you in the morning?"

"Bright and early. First one up usually starts heating the water for coffee. Morgan's cooking breakfast so he'll be up early. But, if you get up either before him or in the night you HAVE to poke your head into their tent just to see how Morgan's torturing Spencer so they can both sleep!" Hotch was laughing as he went to brush his teeth with his son before taking Jack to the back toilet area to both pee before bed. Matt was emerging from his own tent to go use the back toilet area before bed when Hotch and Jack returned to their tent.

"Night Jack. Night Hotch."

"Night Matt. Don't worry if we disturb you in the night by the way. Whilst we're here I insist Jack be escorted by an adult if he has to pee in the night so either he wakes me up to go with him or one of the other's volunteers if they happen to get up at the same time."

"Good idea that. Jack if I happen to be up and you wake up and need to go, I'll gladly escort you."

"Thanks Uncle Matt. Night!"

"Night Jack! Night Hotch!"

The 2 Hotchner's climbed into their tent and began pulling off their shoes before climbing into their sleeping bags.

"Dad?"

"Yeah buddy?"

"I really like Uncle Matt. He's real cool and fun!"

"I'm glad buddy."

Around 2am Matt was sleeping when he was woken slightly as heard rustles coming from Hotch's tent and heard Jack telling his dad he had to go pee. He heard Hotch's voice and then heard rustles as they obviously began pulling on their shoes to go out to the toilet area together. He fell back to sleep as he heard the sounds of them getting out of the tent.

Around 7.30 the next morning, Aaron woke up to find Jack still fast asleep. He quickly pulled on some clothes before heading to the back area and then went to the cooking area, surprised to see Dave, Matt and Morgan already up and dressed and drinking their morning coffee.

"Morning Hotch!"

"Morning. Sleep well Matt?" Aaron started making his coffee.

"Yeah. I'm used to camping anyway. Jack still sleeping?"

"Yep. He'll probably be up in a while."

"So what can I do today?"

"If you like you can cook lunch. We'll have to wait for Spencer to give us the day's menu but I'm pretty sure you'll be cooking pasta with chopped sausages."

"Sure. I like cooking and consider myself a good cook anyway."

"You'll probably best starting about 11 to half past so its ready for about half 12, 1 o clock."

"So you lot rely on Spencer to tell you the rota and meals you all agreed and planned?"

"Yeah. No one else wrote it down! And plus he's got an eidetic memory so he knows it all by heart."

Aaron heard movement and saw Jack climb out of their tent in his pyjama and run off towards the back before running back to their tent to get dressed. Matt watched Aaron make up cocoa for Jack before the boy came running over to the 3 men.

"Morning dad!"

"Morning buddy!" Aaron smiled at Jack as he handed the boy his mug filled with hot cocoa.

"Morning Uncle Matt, Uncle Derek, Uncle Dave!"

"Morning!" they all called together.

"Sleep well Jack?" Matt sipped his remaining coffee.

"Yeah!" Jack carefully sipped at his hot cocoa.

"So what do you guy's plan on doing if it happens to rain?"

"No idea. Stay in our tents I suppose?"

"At least Jack and Henry can play with Jack's action figures he bought with him. We'd just have to sit, hide and talk…"

"I saw the weather forecast for the rest of the week and it looks like its gonna stay nice and sunny so you may be lucky."

"That sounds good to me."

They saw Will wondering over to join them.

"Morning Uncle Will!"

"Morning Will!" Aaron smiled

"Morning Jack, morning gang. Everyone else still asleep?"

"Yeah, they're a little lazy…" Aaron laughed.

"Is Henry still asleep Uncle Will?"

"Yeah. He might up soon though Jack."

"Okay. Uncle Derek what's for breakfast?"

"How's scrambled eggs and bacon again sound?"

"Awesome. I can't believe I get to eat bacon EVERY day dad!"

"Only when you're here…."

Slowly the others started appearing and making coffee. Another day of fun had just begun…..
