Chapter 11: The unexpected

JJ was startled when her phone started ringing. She didn't pick up the first time but when it started to ring a second time she saw the team looking at her and she decided to pick up her phone.

''JJ'' she greeted hoarsely.

''Hey JJ. It is Will. I wanted to ask you if Henry could stay with me for another day'' Will asked from the other end of the line.

''Yeah, of course. I will pick him up the day after tomorrow'' JJ mumbled.

''JJ, are you okay? You sound different''

''I am fine. Don't worry Will''

''Look, I want to apologize for our last conversation. I acted like a jerk''

''No, you didn't. We were both not in the mood and I never meant to take it out on you, Will. It is fine. I will talk to you later'' JJ said.

''Okay. Bye JJ'' Will said and he hung up the phone.

JJ heard the line go dead and she dropped the phone on the small table in front of her. She sat up and she put her elbows on the little table. Her head rested in her hands and she groaned out on frustration. JJ suddenly heard someone walking closer to her and she looked up to see Hotch standing in front of her. He sat down in the seat across from her and he softly touched her hand for reassurance.

''Hi'' JJ said softly.

''Hey'' Hotch murmured.

''JJ, when are you going to stop avoiding the subject?'' Hotch asked.

''I don't want to talk about it. I can't right now. I just need some time, Hotch. Just let it be!'' JJ said with a raised voice and she watched Hotch pull his hand away.

''This is not you. I know you are a guarded person but never towards me, JJ. I don't know what we are right now because the last few days confused the hell out of me but you will always be my friend. No matter what!'' Hotch explained.

''That is nice to know'' JJ said reluctantly.

''JJ, why are you acting like this?''

''Hotch, I don't want to talk about this here. Not when everyone can hear us'' JJ said.

''Okay. Fine. Where? When?''

''I don't know, Hotch. Why can none of you just give me some space?''

''Because we are worried about you JJ! We know that this can't be easy on you and we all just want to help you through this'' Hotch explained.

''I know. We can talk later'' JJ said and she turned her gaze away from Hotch.

Hotch stayed in the seat across from JJ until they landed. They team had two SUV's to use to get back to their own homes. It was late and Hotch thought the paperwork could wait one day. Hotch insisted on driving JJ home and he was able to convince her. He knew she was in pain because she got into the SUV with a lot of trouble. The entire drive to her home was silent. JJ still didn't feel like talking. She would never be comfortable about her past. The things she went through were horrible and she knew there was a lot the team still didn't know and she wasn't planning on ever telling them any of it. JJ was awakened from her thoughts when she noticed that he pulled up in front of her building. When the car stopped she finally noticed that is was pouring with rain and she was surprised that she didn't noticed it before. She looked down the street and it was empty. No one was outside because of the weather. JJ was about to step from the car when Hotch told her to wait until he opened the door for her.

Hotch stepped into the pouring rain and he ran to the other side of the car and he grabbed JJ's go-bag first. He closed the door and he slowly opened JJ's door and he helped her out of the car. JJ was standing in front of Hotch and he had his hands on both of her arms. He didn't move an inch. He just stared into JJ's eyes and she stared back. She could feel the warmth radiating from his body when he took a step closer to JJ and she watched as he started to lean into her. He never took his eyes away from hers when he moved his head closer to hers. The look was so intense that JJ felt like she was melting but in the last second she was able to say something.

''We should go inside. You need to get dry'' JJ said.

''Yeah'' Hotch said confused and he pulled back.

JJ was followed inside her apartment by Hotch. She took of her jacket and she hung it over a chair because it was soaking. JJ's dark blue shirt was wet as well. She turned around and she saw that Hotch was soaked as well. JJ gestured him to take of his jacket but he was just staring at her.

''Hotch! You can take of your jacket if you want to'' JJ suggested.

''Oh, yeah thanks. Do you have shirt that I might fit?'' Hotch asked when he saw that his white dress shirt was wet all over.

''Yeah, I have something'' JJ said and she disappeared into her bedroom. She went through her dresser and she found the grey Georgetown sweater and she flashed back to the memory.

Flashback 2008

JJ was pacing up and down her hotel room until she heard a knock on the door. She had no idea who it could be at that time of night but she instantly walked to the door and she looked through the peephole and to her surprise, she saw Hotch standing on the other side of the door. She opened the door quickly and she let Hotch in.

''Hey Hotch, what are doing here?'' JJ asked.

''I was trying to sleep in the next room and I heard some moans and grunts coming from this room, so I thought something might have been wrong with you or the baby'' Hotch explained.

''Thanks, that is very sweet but I am fine. He is just kicking a lot''

''He?'' Hotch asked with astonishment.

''Yeah, Will and I found out about two weeks ago'' JJ explained and she suddenly saw the hurt on his face. She remembered that same face when he first found out she was pregnant.

''Congratulations JJ!'' Hotch said and he softly shook her hand.

''Thanks Hotch''

''Here take my sweater. You should stay warm'' Hotch said and he pulled the grey Georgetown sweater over his head and he handed it to JJ. He watched as JJ pulled the sweater over her head.

''Thank you''

''You don't need to thank me. We have to make sure that you and the little guy in there are all right'' Hotch said and he gave JJ one of his rare smiles.

JJ took the sweater from the dresser and she held it close to her chest. She never returned it to Hotch because she wanted to keep it for some reason. He was so sweet to her in that moment and she wanted to remember it by keeping the sweater. JJ made her way back into the living room and she saw Hotch sitting in one of the chairs and there were to mugs of hot coco on the coffee table. JJ held up the sweater and she saw Hotch's eyes lit up.

''Oh, I haven't seen that sweater in nearly two years'' Hotch said and he knew exactly when he gave the sweater to JJ and he never wanted to bother her about asking it back.

''I am so sorry for never returning it to you. I guess, it is now back with its rightful owner'' JJ said with a small smile and she sat down on the couch. She was still wearing her wet shirt but she was barely thinking about it when she saw that Hotch was standing up and starting to unbutton his shirt. JJ blushed when his shirt was open and she was looking at his muscular chest. She never expected him to be in such good shape and she never cared about that but she thought it only made him hotter. JJ stood up quickly when Hotch was taking off his shirt to put on the sweater. JJ disappeared into her bedroom and she didn't come out until she heard a soft knock on her door.

''JJ, I am changed. I am sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable'' Hotch said and he waited until the door opened. He sighed in relief when JJ opened the door right away and he saw that she was still blushing.

''Come on, the chocolate milk is getting cold'' Hotch said and he was followed into the living room by JJ.

Hotch sat back down in the same chair and JJ sat down on the coffee table across from him. Hotch looked at her shirt and he saw that the wet material was clinging to her body. His gaze went back to her eyes and he saw doubt and fear in them. Hotch knew his defenses started slipping the moment he helped her from the car. When he looked at her lips he could imagine kissing her. When he looked at her hands he imagined them around his neck while they were having a passionate kiss. In one second he pulled JJ onto his lap and she didn't struggle against his force. She was straddling his lap while he was cupping her face with one of his hands while the other was on one of her legs. JJ put one of her hands on his shoulders and she started to lean in when Hotch was moving closer as well. JJ felt Hotch's breath against her skin and she felt the sparks go through her entire body. He softly lingered in the same place for a while until he felt JJ's hand in his neck and softly pulling him closer. He leaned in and his lips softly brushed against hers. JJ enjoyed the feeling and she softly moaned into his mouth and she felt one hand move to her back and the other was sneaking up her leg. Hotch deepened the kiss when JJ responded and he let his tongue trace along the line of her lips and he started asking for entry. JJ slowly opened her mouth and she tasted a hint of chocolate milk. They were both caught up in the passionate kiss. JJ moved her hands from his neck to his chest and she felt the beating of his heart. All the pain she felt was slowly fading away. Both of Hotch's hands were around her waist and one of them was toying with the hem of her wet shirt. JJ flinched when his hand was suddenly under her shirt and going up her left side. JJ pulled away and she climbed off his lap.

''Did I do something?'' Hotch asked immediately and he was completely confused by JJ's actions.

''No. I..I..just…we shouldn't do this. Like you said in the hotel, you are my boss. This is not a good idea'' JJ said quickly and she made the space between her and Hotch bigger.

''JJ, what is it?'' Hotch asked again.

''Nothing. You should go! I need some sleep. I will see you at the office tomorrow'' JJ said and she turned around and she walked into her bedroom. She closed the door and she dropped herself against it.

Hotch was left stunned in the living room, having no idea of what had just happened. He rose from the chair and he decided to just leave. He knew JJ wasn't going to say anything and space was probably the best thing she could get in that moment. He left with hesitation but he didn't want to force JJ into anything.
