Aaron glanced up from his file as he heard Jack's giggle from the portable play pen next to his desk. Aaron had Jack at the office because Emily had a doctor's appointment and a few other things after. She couldn't take Jack to the appointment and Sean and Richard were both busy and Elizabeth was out of the country on assignment. When Emily had considered rescheduling her appointment, Aaron told her he had a light morning and could bring Jack with him. Sure, the Section Chief would probably not like it but everyone in the team like Jack and they didn't have a problem. The only one slightly grumpy about Jack being there was Jason but he complained about everything.
Aaron picked Jack up and held him in his lap. "Hey there Buddy, you have a good nap?"
Since Aaron had to leave early for work, Jack had spent the last few hours catching up on sleep. Jack babbled at his father, pulling on Aaron's tie. Normally Aaron avoiding wearing them around his young son after Jack pulled the wrong part and tried cutting off Aaron's air supply.
Aaron shifted Jack to sit on his right leg and picked his pen back up. The file open in front of him was The Boston Reaper file. He hadn't looked at the file since Emily helped him with it just after Jack's birth. But, like he'd told Emily, work was light. They'd just gotten back from a case about three days ago and he'd finished all his paperwork for it so until their Communications Coordinator, Agent Jennifer Jareau, or JJ as she insisted on being called, brought new cases around, he was free to work on the Reaper file. He wasn't working long before a knock on his door pulled his attention and Jack's away from what they were doing. For Jack, that seemed to be debating the pros and cons of chewing on Aaron's tie.
"Come in." Aaron called as he gently pulled his tie away from the curious boy's mouth. The door opened and JJ walked in. "Hey JJ."
JJ smiled. "Hey Hotch." she spotted Jack. "And who might this be?"
Aaron smiled at Jack as the little boy tipped his head to the side while looking at JJ. As JJ stepped closer, Jack got shy and buried his face in Aaron's jacket, peeking one eye out to keep a watch on her.
Aaron rubbed Jack's back. "This is my son Jack. Jack, can you wave and say hi to Miss JJ?"
Jack had just learned hi not too long ago.
Jack peeked his eye out at JJ again and lifted a shy hand. "Hi."
JJ smiled softly. "Hi Jack." she looked at Aaron. "I didn't know you had him with you."
Aaron motioned for JJ to sit. "Emily had a few things to do this morning that Jack couldn't come for and our usual sitters were all busy."
JJ nodded. "Well that would explain why Gideon's been complaining about 'disruption in normal routine' all morning."
Aaron adjusted Jack as the boy reached for his tie again. "He can whine all he wants, Jack is staying until Emily comes for him." he put Jack back in his play pen as the little boy continued to reach for his tie. "What can I do you JJ?"
JJ handed Hotch a few files. "Just dropping off your weekly consults. I already gave Gideon, Morgan and Reid theirs."
Aaron smirked as he took the folders. "So that's what those groans were for. I thought we ran out of coffee again."
Both winced at that thought. About a month before, the break room ran out of coffee. Since Reid and Derek basically lived off the stuff, it wasn't pretty. Jason had actually locked himself in his office until someone went out for more.
JJ stood to leave and waved to Jack. "Bye Jack."
Jack waved back before giggling and hiding his face in his giraffe. JJ laughed and left the office.
Aaron looked at his son. "Player."
