A/N: In this chapter Jason will be back. Even though he was the one that stood between JJ and Hotch, I still like him. He will also appear in next chapter. Hotch and Jason will finally have a real talk in the next chapter which I think both of them really need. I have decided to write Henry into my story because multiple readers want that and I love it to. It does mean that the story will go on a little longer. I am actually thinking of bringing on the Foyet storyline but in a different way. If I do that it will bring a lot more drama and I don't know it that fits with the story because there already has been a lot of drama in it. Let me know what you think about the idea and of course what everyone thinks about this chapter!

Chapter 25: Aaron's jealousy

Four months later…

JJ had been with the BAU for four months and she was graduating in a week. Strauss had made it clear to JJ that she was going to stay in the unit and she would officially be part of the team. JJ was going to become the team's media liaison. Her performances over the last moths were outstanding. The team was proud of her and they were happy that JJ was going to stay a part of their group.

JJ, Hotch, Kelly and Jack were doing well. JJ and Hotch still lived in their separate apartments but they were already talking about moving in together because JJ and Kelly spent most nights at Hotch's apartment. They turned the guestroom into Kelly's room. Jack loved it every time his little sister was around and he was already being the overprotective brother. Jack had gotten used to JJ's presence and he told her a couple of times that he loved her which made JJ cry every single time. Hotch loved the fact that they were already becoming a family after such a short period of time. Hotch was happier and he wanted nothing to change. His relationship with JJ was only growing stronger with every day and he knew that things were better than expected.

It was a Monday morning and the team was working at their desks. Hotch was catching up with files he left because he spent his Friday night with JJ while her parents took care of the kids. JJ was sitting at her desk and her phone started ringing.

''Agent Jareau'' JJ answered.

''Agent Jareau? I am Detective Foster, we have a case that we can't get any further with. Can you help us?'' the detective explained.

''Of course. You can fax over the case and I will present it to the team. I will call you when we made a decision'' JJ said and she noticed the urgency in the man's voice.

''Okay. Thank you. We could really use some help over here because the A.D.A. is giving us a lot of heat if we don't come up with anything''

''I will let you know as soon as possible''

''Thank you Agent. Bye''

''Bye'' JJ said and she hung up the phone.

The eyes of Prentiss, Morgan and Reid were already on her and she knew they were hoping for a case free day. JJ hated to disappoint them but it seemed like the Detective really needed their help.

''Let me guess, we have a case'' Emily said.

''You can't possibly guess that, Emily. It could have been a personal phone call. You shouldn't assume things when you don't have the facts'' Reid said.

''Yeah we know Reid'' Morgan said.

''I am so sorry. It's in New-York. Not that far. You guys should go to the conference room. And could you guys get Rossi and Hotch in there as well'' JJ said and she walked away.

JJ ran towards the fax machine and she copied all the files so there would enough of them for the entire team. JJ walked back into the conference room when everybody already had a seat. She was able to look over the case rather quickly and she grabbed the remote to show the pictures on the screen.

''Two days ago the body of sixteen year old Tracy Griffin was found in Central Park. NYPD talked to the parents and Tracy was last seen with two guys. Tracy went out with her friends and she met the two guys and she left with them in their car. NYPD was able to get their names and they know for sure that these two guys had something to with it. The question is which one from the two killed her. The A.D.A. is putting a lot of pressure on the NYPD so they requested our help with finding out which guy did it'' JJ explained.

''What are their names and ages?'' Rossi asked.

''The first one is nineteen year old Doug Hill and the second guy is twenty-one year old Fernando Cruz. They haven't been saying anything but they also didn't make a request for attorneys to be present'' JJ replied.

''Was there no physical evidence that pointed to these two or one of them?'' Morgan asked.

''No. The ME concluded that Tracy was raped multiple times but there were no DNA-samples found on her body'' JJ answered.

''I think we should take this case. If these guys walk we might never be able to get them'' Emily stated.

''Prentiss is right. JJ, tell NYPD that we will be there in two hours. I don't want to waste any time on this so we are flying there. Wheels up in thirty'' Hotch said and he walked out of the room.

The team talked about the case on the plane and they all agreed that the two men who were arrested by NYPD had something to do with Tracy's murder. They also knew that it was going to be extremely hard to get a confession out one of them since they hadn't been talking since their arrests. The team was talking about different interrogation strategies they could use to talk to the two men.

The team arrived at the station on time. A young man in his early thirties came walking towards the group when they stepped inside.

''You must be the BAU team'' Detective Foster said.

''Hello, I am agent Jareau. We spoke on the phone. These are SSA's Hotchner, Rossi, Morgan, Prentiss and Dr. Reid'' JJ said and she watched as they all nodded towards the detective.

''Thank you for coming. I am detective Foster'' the detective said.

''Agent Jareau told me that the A.D.A. on the case was giving you some heat. Is there a possibility for us to talk to him?'' Hotch asked.

''Of course. He's already in one of the observation's room watching one of the interrogations'' the detective replied.

''Okay. I want you to pull all of your men out of the interrogation rooms'' Hotch said.

''I will'' the detective said.

''Morgan I want you to take Doug Hill and Prentiss and Reid should take Fernando Cruz because he will possibly responds sooner when there's woman in the room who threatens him'' Hotch ordered and he they followed the detective towards the suspects.

JJ, Rossi and Hotch were waiting for the detective to return. They were talking about the case and what to do when JJ heard someone coming up from behind them but she didn't bother to turn around.

''JJ? Is that you?'' Jason asked with confusion.

JJ turned around when she heard that familiar voice and she saw Jason standing in front of her. JJ couldn't help but smile when she saw the happiness on his face.

''Jason, oh my god. What are you doing here?'' JJ asked happily not noticing the suspicious look on Hotch's face.

''I am the A.D.A. But, what are you doing here? I thought you were still in the academy. Aren't you supposed to graduate in a…'' Jason tried so say but JJ interrupted him.

''..in a week. I can't believe you remembered. How have you been?'' JJ asked.

''How could I possibly forget and I have been good. Come on, we should talk somewhere a little more private'' Jason said and JJ followed him into the office across from Hotch and Rossi.

Rossi noticed the jealousy on Hotch's face and he understood why when he heard the name Jason coming from JJ's mouth.

''Look, how cute they are together'' Rossi said to tease his best friend and he heard Hotch groan.

''Ah come on, Aaron. Let them talk. There's no reason to be jealous and you know it'' Rossi said.

''I know'' Hotch said.

While Hotch and Rossi kept staring at JJ and Jason interacting, they were having a great conversation. It was what JJ missed from time to time. She missed talking to the person who used to be her best friend. Even before JJ and Jason started dating, they were best friends. JJ had no romantic feelings towards him anymore but she still missed talking to him about everything and she missed hearing about his life.

''How have you been JJ?'' Jason asked when they just entered the office.

''Great. But, I should ask you that. How have you been?''

''Honestly, the first two months were really hard on me but I am doing great now. I am actually dating someone. She's a defense attorney which sometimes complicates things but I like her a lot''

''That's good. I am happy for you. And I see you are achieving your dreams'' JJ commented.

''Yeah, I have been extremely lucky. And what about you? You are already an agent before you are graduating which means you must have done something good'' Jason said.

''Yes I guess I did. I am still a probationary agent but I will be getting a real job after graduation and I will stay with the BAU'' JJ said and she started laughing and she didn't know why.

''What?''

''I am just happy you know. I am so glad to know that you are doing so well, Jason. When you left it just felt like we didn't have a real goodbye and I guess this can bring some closure for me''

''I know. I am sorry for leaving so abruptly but I just needed the time'' Jason explained.

''Please don't be sorry. You had every right to leave like that''

''I don't know if I should ask but how is the little girl doing?'' Jason asked, hoping JJ would talk about Kelly.

''Amazing as always. She is growing up so fast but she is still the same'' JJ replied.

''Good. We should catch up after this case if you have the time. Maybe we should go out for a drink'' Jason said.

''Absolutely'' JJ said and she watched Jason walked out of the office.

JJ felt like a weight was lifted of her shoulders. It was a weight she didn't realize she was still carrying with her. JJ turned around and she saw Rossi and Hotch looking at her. She saw the jealous look on Hotch's face. She knew he could be the dominant type when it would come to JJ and other guys but she didn't expect him to be jealous of Jason. If a guy would touch her in a bar or even flirt with her she could understand but he had no right to be jealous of Jason.

JJ walked out of the office and she rejoined Rossi and Hotch. As soon as the tension between Hotch and JJ was increasing, Rossi was smart enough to excuse himself. JJ was surprised when Hotch grabbed her by the wrist and they walked through a hallway and they stopped around a corner. Hotch pushed JJ up against the wall and he was determined to remind her who she was with. Hotch kissed JJ on the lips and she responded at first when she got lost in the sensation and the touch of his hands on her skin. But JJ's mind kicked in when she started thinking about the jealous look he had before, so she pulled away from him.

''Hotch stop. I know what this is about'' JJ said angrily.

''What? I just want to kiss my girlfriend'' Hotch said innocently.

''Of course you did. The only reason you are kissing me like that is because you are jealous when there's no reason for it''

''I am not jealous''

''Yes you are'' JJ said a little softer when she heard her own loud voice.

''Okay, you got me'' Hotch confesses.

''Why? I mean, how could you be jealous about Jason?''

''Because you two seemed a little too kind with each other'' Hotch said with his own raised voice.

''So you think, I would pick up where I left off with Jason. You know I would never cheat on you'' JJ said.

''It didn't stop you in the past'' Hotch said boldly.

''What is that supposed to mean?'' JJ asked.

''JJ, I didn't mean it like that''

''Of course you didn't. You know what, we should finish this case and we can talk later. Getting a confession out of the suspects is more important'' JJ said and she walked away from Hotch.

Hotch started walking towards the interrogation rooms when he was standing in the hallway for a while.
