"Hey Baby Girl." Morgan shouted as the team strolled off the elevator. Garcia had been waiting for them.

"Hello my Chocolate Adonis." Garcia snickered as they embraced. Emily grabbed Garcia's arm and began dragging her into her lair. She gestured for JJ to follow. The women gathered in the plushy chairs.

"Axel finally got back to me." Emily informed her friends. JJ clapped, smiling widely.

"Told you it would all be okay." Garcia began organizing her desks. The case papers had been left overnight.

"What did he say?" JJ questioned as she searched her purse for the Cheetos she had bought before taking off.

"He reassured me that everything was fine. He even said that Hotch called him and told him that I was going nuts." Emily informed them. Garcia, who had her back turned, smirked.

"Well that was noble of him." Garcia snickered. JJ nodded her head. Both Emily and JJ missed her sarcastic tone.

"It was, wasn't it?" Emily cooed. JJ finally found the Cheetos and pulled open the bag desperately. She quickly tossed a few of the crunchy pieces in her mouth.

"He put aside his own feelings for you so that's pretty awesome." JJ said as she sucked on her orange fingertips. Garcia rolled her eyes as she shoved the file into a cabinet in the corner.

"I think Axel was pretty great too," Garcia announced, earning strange looks from her friends, "I mean, he could've been pissed by the whole Hotch thing."

"Yeah, you've got some great guys around you." JJ stated as she balled up the now empty Cheetos bag and tossed it in the trash. Emily beamed as she nodded.

"I'm lucky… and happy… really happy."


"C'mon tiger! Get out there!" Garcia said she shoved Axel towards the dance floor. A week had passed since Hotch and Axel decided to be friends. As expected, Emily didn't have much time for the DEA agent now that she and Hotch were seeing more and more of each other. Axel understood but Garcia was tired of him just sitting alone at home.

"I know what you guys are doing but I'm fine." Axel accused as Garcia handed Hendrix a drink. They were in the middle of a crowded club called The Arrow.

"Axel, get out there. Listen to Pen." Hendrix shouted over the music, his arm around Garcia's waist. Garcia smiled up at Hendrix while ruffling his hair. Axel sighed as he made his way to the bar. He took a seat hastily.

"Well you must be having an amazing time." A sarcastic voice floated into his ear. He turned to speak to the source, only to have the words stuck in his throat. She was sitting on the stool gracefully, with her chin resting in the palm of her hand. Her hazel eyes were sparkling with mischief with a smirk painting her lips.

"Hi." He whispered, a smile appearing. She returned the smile as extended her hand.

"Hi. I'm Angela Starr, a simple woman looking for a good time." Axel chuckled, not releasing her hand.

"I'm Axel Anjelic, a simple man whose been looking for a simple woman who is looking for a good time."


"How was it?" Hotch asked Emily as she shoved a fork of food in her mouth. She cringed which made him cringe.

"It has texture, that's for sure." Hotch snickered as he picked up the phone and dialed the number to their favorite Thai restaurant. Emily ran to grab water while Hotch ordered their food.

"Let's not try that again." Hotch laughed when Emily came back into view. She was brushing her teeth. They had agreed to leave small, essential items at each other's apartments.

"I'd be totally fine with that." Hotch responded, as he plopped down on the couch. Emily took the slot right next to him, cuddling his left side. Emily had slept over every night since the last case. He was astonished by how simple yet remarkable being with her was. She understood his work, obviously, but she knew what he needed. It was a breath of fresh air. He constantly wondered what it would've been like to marry Emily instead of Hayley all those years ago but he knew he wouldn't have changed a thing because Hayley gave him Jack.

"When is Jack coming?" Emily asked. She had gotten quite attached to the boy over the week she had spent there. His aunt had taken him out to eat because she knew the couple probably wanted alone time.

"They should be here any minute now. She called five minutes ago and they were on their way." Hotch kissed Emily's temple. They watched some mindless television as they waited for their son to arrive.


"Whoa! She's…Whoa…" Garcia stuttered. Her jaw was hanging low. Hendrix and Garcia were watching Axel dance with a lean black haired woman with sexy curves.

"Are you switching teams on me?" Hendrix joked.

"Maybe." Garcia fanned herself as Hendrix chuckled. Garcia smiled as Axel kissed the woman's hand and slipped her his phone number.

"Oh my God, it worked. My super, duper intelligent plan worked." Garcia smirked.

"You're super, duper intelligent plan was to bring a good looking man to a club and hope for the best." Hendrix smirked as he ruffled her hair.

"Don't question the genius."


When thinking of Angela Starr, think of mature looking Katy Perry with hazel eyes. A possible double date in the works? You'll have to wait and read.
