I still don't own Criminal minds. I keep forgetting to put that on each chapter.
Chapter 14
The next few weeks were blissful for the couple as they adjusted to being together. Jack was completely content with Chrisy being his daddy's girlfriend.
Aaron was just finishing picking up the kitchen from lunch. Chrisy was spending the day with the girls from the team shopping and eating out. Dave had wanted to plan a guys day for the male members of the team but Aaron declined. He was going to use the time to have a talk with his son.
"Jack I'm almost done cleaning up. Are you ready for our talk?" Aaron called as he put the last plate in the dishwasher.
"Yes daddy."
Aaron took a deep breath and made his way to the living room where Jack was waiting.
After getting comfortable Aaron swallowed hard and began.
"Jack you know that I've fallen in love with Chrisy. I would like to ask her to marry me. Are you alright with that?"
"Does this mean she will be my mommy?"
"Well I'm pretty sure she loves you and would be happy to answer to mommy."
"I love her too daddy. Can I ask her to be my mommy when you ask her to marry you?"
"I think that would be perfect." Aaron choked up.
Jack scooted over and reached up to hug his dad. Aaron squeezed his son tight. He never imagined being this happy again.
"Jack this is a secret for now. Can you not tell Chrisy yet until we are ready?"
"I can keep a secret daddy. Chrisy and I always kept secrets about Beth."
Aaron laughed hugging Jack tighter. He wondered what else Jack and Chrisy kept secrets about.
"Jack I still need to pick out a ring to give to Chrisy. Would you like to help me with that?"
"Yes!" Jack answered excitedly. "Can we go now?"
"Well I guess so. Go get your shoes on." He smiled.
Aaron's heart thumped hard. This was really going to happen. He was in love and he was going to ask an amazing woman to be his wife and his son loved her too and wanted her to be his mother.
Chrisy dropped her bags in her apartment and began to pull out her new clothes to admire them before putting them away. Even though she slept with Aaron each night the illusion was kept up that she still lived in her apartment so all of her clothes and personal items remained there except for the few things that were stashed in the guest room for when Aaron was away.
Hearing a car pull up in the drive Chrisy hurried to the window to see Aaron and Jack climbing out of the car. She went to the door to go outside to meet them as they came up to the side door of the house.
"Did you buy out the mall?" Aaron smirked.
"Hardly. I did find a few cute new things." She smiled.
"Anything I might like?" He asked raising his eyebrows.
"Maybe." She teased. "Where were you two?"
"Getting ice cream." Jack answered holding up his sticky hands to show Chrisy.
Aaron was proud of his son's quick honest answer without giving away the real reason they went out. The tiny box was safely locked in the glove compartment of the car for now.
"I can't believe you went for ice cream without me?" Chrisy pouted.
Aaron reached out and pulled Chrisy into him and planted a kiss on her lips.
"Does that help make up for it?" He asked sheepishly.
"I think I need more to truly feel better."
"I'd be happy to do that." He said pulling her up to him again.
Chrisy took one more look at herself in the mirror checking her upswept hair. She then smoothed out the skirt on her 'little black dress' that Aaron had requested that she put on for the evening.
Slipping on her heels Chrisy checked the time. It was almost seven. Her stomach tightened and she let out a long sigh before she opened the door to descend the stairs from her apartment to the house. For the life of her she couldn't figure out what was going on that Aaron had banned her to her apartment all afternoon and then requested that she be all dressed up upon coming back at seven.
Stepping inside the house Chrisy could smell that dinner had been made and the kitchen had already been tidied up. There was no sign of Aaron or Jack but she did spy a trail of rose peddles on the ground that led out of the kitchen. She grinned and began to follow the path that had been created.
The trail led her to the dining room that was lit up with only candles placed on the table and strategically planted around the room. Aaron and Jack were both dressed in suits standing next to the table waiting for their guest to arrive.
Aaron swallowed hard when he saw the sexy curve hugging black dress Chrisy was wearing. He walked over to her and extended his arm to her and escorted her to her seat at the table.
"You look so beautiful." He whispered in her ear as he pulled out her chair for her.
"Thank you and you both look so handsome." She smiled sitting down. "What's the occasion?"
"We just wanted to do something special tonight." Aaron answered kissing her on the cheek.
Dinner was delicious. Aaron made chicken parmesan which was Chrisy's favorite. The conversation was light and fun as they ate. She could tell that they were up to something else but neither one would drop a hint.
Once the food was gone the plates were left on the table and Jack took Chrisy by the hand and led her to the living room which had more rose peddles strewn around and gestured for her to sit down on the couch. Her heart was pounding with anticipation as to what was going on. Jack then disappeared back into the dining room where Aaron still was.
Chrisy picked up one of the delicate peddles and held it up to her nose to smell the sweet scent. This kind of treatment was too good to be true. Her heart fluttered when she saw the two men she loved more than anything walk into the room together each wearing a smile. They walked up in front of her and stopped. Chrisy continued to play nervously with the rose peddle in her hand. Jack looked up at Aaron and smiled.
"Chrisy, I love you. You have brought so much joy into my and Jack's lives. I honestly never thought I could feel this way again about a woman but then I met you." Aaron took a deep breath and got down on his knee. "Christine Eidahl, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
Chrisy could feel her mouth dropping open. Jack then walked up to her and took her hand.
"Would you do me the honor of being my mommy?" He asked nervously.
Her eyes were wide with shock as she looked at each of the males before her asking her to become a part of their family. The tears were forming and threatening to fall as she finally caught up to the moment.
"Yes Aaron I would love to be your wife and Jack I would love to be your mom." She gasped out before the tears began to flow freely.
Jack threw his arms around her and pulled out a tiny box from his pocket and opened it to show a gold heart shaped charm dangling from a gold rope chain bracelet. It had Jack inscribed on the charm.
"This is shows I'm your son." He said softly.
"I love it." She squeaked as Jack placed it on her wrist.
Jack then stepped back and Aaron pulled out a box from his pocket and opened the lid so show the princess cut diamond ring. Chrisy gasped as Aaron took it out of the box and picked up her hand and slipped it on her finger.
"This shows that I'm your fiancé." Aaron winked.
"It's beautiful Aaron." She giggled taking in how much it sparkled in the candle light. "I love you." She then pulled him into her and kissed him.
Jack grinned happily as he watched the display of affection between his parents.
Aaron couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he popped open the champagne that he had chilling until after Jack went to bed. He poured them each a glass and handed one to Chrisy. She giggled at the bubbles that tickled her nose when she took a sip from the flute.
"You are so incredibly beautiful Chrisy. I have to keep pinching myself to know this is no dream."
Chrisy reached up and caressed her hand over his face. Her big blue eyes were batting at him seductively.
"You have no idea how happy you have made me Aaron. I thought I knew what love was until I met you. Jerk face back in Nebraska did me a favor. I would have never found you if he didn't cheat on me."
"I'm glad he's a jerk face." Aaron laughed.
He reached over and took the champagne flute from Chrisy and placed it on the table and slipped his hand around her waist and pulled her into him. His lips found their way to her neck and tickled over her sweet smelling skin. He flicked his tongue over her earlobe and slipped it on up to her lips and traced around the plump pinkness and them clenched his mouth tightly over hers.
Chrisy pushed herself up on her knees and straddled across Aaron's lap and pushed him back against the couch. The loose strands of her hair tickled his face as she hovered over him. She could feel his arousal growing as she brushed against him. His sexy dark eyes were filled with lust as he looked up at her begging for more.
Chrisy leaned down and pushed her lips against his. Aaron Hotchner was by far the sexist man she had ever seen and she wanted him more than anything at that moment and she was going to have him.
Aaron turned over in the bed and reached out to find his lover to pull her into him and discovered they were not alone in the bed. At some point in the night Jack had made his way into their bedroom and climbed in bed with them planting himself right in the middle.
Thankfully the newly engaged couple did the deed downstairs on the couch instead of the bed otherwise they would have been naked when their unexpected guest arrived in the middle of the night. That would have required a lot more explaining than Aaron was ready to do with his seven year old son.
He couldn't help but smile as he noticed Jack's head resting on Chrisy. They both looked so peaceful asleep. The pride began to beam out of him as he lay there with his family. How did he get so lucky.
Jack took a big swig of his milk and set his glass back down then reached for his spoon to eat some more cereal. Aaron and Chrisy both sat at the table nervously waiting for the questions to begin from the inquisitive boy.
After eating a few more bites Jack looked over to the staring adults.
"Why are you both so quiet?" He asked wiping his mouth.
"Well, Jack we were a bit surprised to find you in bed with us this morning." Aaron said hesitantly.
"I had a bad dream."
"Were you surprised to see Chrisy with me?"
"I thought mommies and daddies sleep in the same bed? Chrisy is going to be my mommy so I wasn't surprised." He shrugged and then went back to eating his cereal.
Feeling like he just dodged a bullet Aaron turned to Chrisy with a small grin. His son was too smart for his own good.
