A/N: Oh my God you guys are amazing. I can't explain to you how happy I am. One hundred reviews! Wow. Just, wow. I confess that when I started this I never expected so much response from you guys. I can't thank you enough. This makes me really happy and proudy of this job. This chapter is a conversation between Hotch and Dave, just because I love their friendship. Oh, and another flashback.

Just to clarify, I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding. The two abortions that I mentioned on the last chapter I meaned the first one in Rome when she was fifteen and the second actually is the miscarriage of their baby after the honeymoon. Sorry for the trouble.

Oh and just another thing. I just watched the 11x16 (Derek) and I have to say, it's one of the best episodes I've seen on the show. Those who didn't watch yet, please do it. It's incredible, I cried from the beginning to end. And of course, it was directed by the amazing, incredible, fantastic, fabulous and delicious Thomas Gibson, so...

But here is the 13th chapter! Hope you like it! Let a review!

Chapter 13

The next day the family was eating breakfast on the kitchen. Emily had to return to work that day but she didn't like the idea of leaving him alone. "Are you sure you'll be okay Aaron?"

He looked up from his plate and smiled at the anxious face of his wife. They already had this discussion the night before and before breakfast. "Yes Emily, I'll be fine. Because of my coma I spent the hardest part of my recover on the hospital so I don't have any stiches and the pain is almost gone completely. And I promise that I'll be just resting on the couch watching TV until you come back okay?"

She sighed, knowing that he was right. "Okay. My class it's until noon so I'll be home by 1 okay? Don't worry about lunch; I'll fix something for us when I got back".

"Okay Em". He said shaking his head with a chuckle. Just as they were putting the dishes on the sink the doorbell rang. "I'll answer".

"Jack, go brush your teeth and pick your bag because we have to go". Emily instructed the boy who went upstairs. "Who is it Aaron?"

"It's me Bellissíma." She heard Dave's voice and turned with a smile.

"Hey Dave, what a surprise!" She said hugging him.

"Yeah, we got back yesterday from that case and we took the day off so I thought about making a visit".

"And you couldn't have come on a better time Dave". He turned to Emily with raised eyebrows. "So, now that I have a babysitter to make me company you think you can go to work?"

"You think you're funny". She glared at his smirk. "Dave, please don't let him do anything other than sit his butt on that couch until I come back".

"Don't worry sweetheart. Go to work". Dave said reassuring her.

"Okay. Jack, are you ready baby?" She called.

"Yes mom". The boy came downstairs.

"Good, say bye to daddy and Uncle Dave". He hugged both men and went to the car. She turned back to Hotch and smiled at him. "Bye, take care". She leaned in to give him a peck on his lips but he cupped the back of her head and circled her waist with his other arm to press her on his torso and gave her a fiercer kiss. She hummed on his mouth when the parted and grinned at him. "Is like this that you want me to go?"

He chuckled and let her go, watching her got into the car and leave. Turning around he met Dave's grinning face and looked down blushing slightly. "I'd take things are much better". He commented.

Hotch chuckled and directed them towards the living room. "Yeah, I mean, I'm trying you know".

"I noticed. And it's good Aaron, it's very good".

"I know. She is amazing, she really loves me you know. She's completely devoted to me and Jack and it is something that I've never seen. I mean, with Haley I've always felt that I wasn't good enough, that I was doing something wrong. But with Emily, she loves me so unconditionally that it really scares me". He confessed to his friend.

"Believe me Aaron, I know. We all do. We've seen during these years how much she adores you and how much you adore her".

"It's… it's easy. She really doesn't give me another option. And she is absolutely gorgeous. Like, seriously the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Especially without any make up and with some loose t-shirt… my t-shirt". He chuckled with the older profiler.

"I think you're starting to see why you fell in love with her, my friend". Dave said.

"I think you're right". He agreed.

"And you didn't remember anything yet? With the routine and the environment I thought it would help". Dave asked and saw the man shift awkwardly on the couch. "What? Did you remember?"

Hotch remembered the flash he had the morning before and cleared his throat. "Yeah, I kind of had a flashback…"

"That's great Aaron!" He saw the odd look on his face and frowned. "It isn't a good thing?" Hotch continued to avoid his eyes and he saw a blush starting to appear on his face. "Oh God, what did you remember?" He chuckled.

"It's not of your business Dave". He said.

"Really Aaron? That's the first thing you remember?" He laughed.

"You said yourself, the routine and environment contribute…" He said shyly.

"You mean you two already…" He asked with wide eyes.

"No, no, we didn't. But honestly? I think it's just because I'm not cleared yet". He answered truthfully.

Dave hesitated a little before open his mouth. "Look Aaron, I think it's great that you're trying to make it work with her and starting to remember but… please, be careful. As you said before she really loves and adores you. You have too much power on your hands so be careful with your decisions because you can hurt her badly".

"I'm aware of that Dave. But honestly, as my mom used to say to me, the better way to fall in love with someone is allowing yourself to be loved. And that's what I'm doing. I'm opening myself to her. I'm trying hard to make her happy, to make her smile. I took her out on a date on Valentine's and it was so good Dave. She is so amazing. I can see myself falling for her, even if I never remember anything. She makes my life easier, prettier".

"You just made me remember of something you said to me on your wedding day". Dave commented.

"What did I say?"

Dave opened the door of the waiting room were Hotch was and smiled at the sight of his nervous friend. "I think I never saw you so terrified, Aaron". He chuckled.

Hotch turned to him with a smile on his face. "I'm not terrified. I'm anxious, excited, happy, delighted, take your pick. I can believe this is happening Dave". He grinned at the older man.

"Yeah, you two had a very long walk until here. Remember when you didn't want her on your team? At least the guys say that you used to hate her". He chuckled.

"I didn't hate her. I just… didn't trust her".

"And now?"

"Now? Now I trust her with my life and my son's and our happiness. She is the light of my day Dave. She is the reason I'm still sane. I can't imagine my life without her smile, without her laugh, her touch, her taste… She's my everything. And I'll spend the rest of my life trying to make her at least one percent of how much she makes me".

"You were the goofiest man on earth that day". Dave said getting up and taking a frame that was on the shelf above the TV, giving it to Hotch. It was the picture that Emily said it was her favorite. And she was right. His eyes were looking at her as if they were looking at the most exquisite human being on the planet. And her smile was so bright, so full of love and care, so devoted to the man in front of her. "I remember you said that she made you feel alive. That she took all your demons away. That she made you a better person. And that you never thought you would be so lucky to find someone so wonderful like her".

Hotch listened the words of his friend and continued to look at the picture with a smile on his face. Suddenly he felt the same pressure on his head that he felt the day before and quickly placed the frame on the coffee table before putting his hands on his head again. He closed his eyes and grunted at the excruciating pain on his hand and started to see a few flashes of a very white light, at first unfocused, and then could identify Emily's face, very likely the picture he was looking. She was dressed on a white dress and she was smiling to him with tears polling on her eyes. He could hear himself saying something to her and focused on the words.

"Emily, I never thought, after everything I've been through, that I was going to have the opportunity to fall in love again, let a least get married again. I know we didn't have the best start and that's most because of my stubbornness. But you have no idea how grateful I am for the present that was your appearance in my life. You, with your laugh and your bright personality, brought the happiness that I didn't believe still could have in my life. Your love showed me every single what purity is, what altruism is, because you love me so unconditionally all the time, even when I don't deserve it, and you taught me that I'm worth it. You help me to believe in myself. You make me a better person. I know I couldn't have chosen a better woman to share the rest of my days with and help me to raise my son and how many other God allows us to have. And I promise you to love you and cherish you and take care of you every second of every day for the rest of my life because you saved me from my darkness and you made me believe in love and life again. I love you more than I ever thought it was possible to love someone".

He heard someone calling his name over and over and opened his eyes to see Dave's worried face in front of him. "Aaron? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just had a flashback". He said sitting straight.

"Really, what did you remember? It's NC-17 too?" He teased.

"My wedding vows". He said looking up and smiling. "You're right. You're all right. I do love her more than anything. And she does make me happier than I've ever been".

Dave smiled at him warmly and patted his back. "I'm glad you realized that my friend".

It was almost one-thirty when Emily killed the engine in front of her house. She got inside and called for her husband. "Aaron? Babe, I'm home". She waited for a response but got none. She thrown her keys on the keychain and went to call for him again when she saw him descending the stairs. "Hey, I'm sorry I'm late but I had to solve some things with another teacher and I lost the…"

He cut her mid-sentence pulling her into his embrace and capturing her lips with his in a deep and long kiss. She startled for a second but quickly gave into his arms and kissed him back, opening her mouth to him and shivering at the contact with his tongue. She pressed herself against him and moaned lowly, gripping his hair in her fists. They kissed for several minutes until he pulled away breathlessly, still holding her close, with a wide grin on his swollen lips. "Hey back".

"Ow, if I'm going to get this every time I got home I think I'm going to leave more frequently". She joked, still panting.

"I had another flashback". He announced and saw her face lit up like a Christmas tree.

"You did? Oh my God, what did you remember?" She asked excitedly.

"Our wedding, my vows". He said smiling.

"Oh honey…" She felt a tear falling on her cheek. She was so happy. Two memories in two days.

"You were so beautiful and I was so happy. You make me happy, Emily". He declared.

She let out a sob and hugged him tightly. "You make me happy too, babe".
