"A/n. Hey guys. I promised you a sequel to my first CPD story, and I have it here for you. It's set in the same au verse so know that. Also my oc Pria will replace Alvin. Sorry but I cannot picture the higher ups letting a team go a man down.

"Chapter one —The first day part one: Getting ready.

Beep beep beep beep! Goes my alarm clock. I smack it to shut it up. I roll over hoping that I didn't wake Aaron.

"Morning baby girl. You didn't wake me. I need to be up anyway. I start at white collar today. And you start in intelligence. You excited?"

"You know it! Although responding to Detective will take some getting used to. I can't wait to get to work beside two of my closest and oldest friends too.

"That's right. So, detective Reagan or detective Hotchner?"

""Detective Hotchner. Figured since when I first introduced myself I used our name not mine, it would be easier for them and me."

""Wow. I can actually say my wife works intelligence.

"Yea. I got to get a move on or I'll be late. Don't want to be on my first day, ya know."

"Yeah I understand. I'm assuming I'll see you tonight?"

"As long as we don't get a major case I'll be home. A lot of what happened last month woke up Sargent Voight to how short life can be especially in our profession. "

At this point my phone buzzed and I picked it up off the counter where I had left it.

"Good morning! First day back. We've got a case. Swing by and get you partner?—AR

"Yeah. I should be ready. Want some coffee?—-PH

"Always. Should be there 10-15 minutes

I'll be waiting.

"You have a case already?"

Yeah. No big surprises though. Chicago is a big bad city. Crime never sleeps in these towns/cities. I'm going to get ready. Think you can not burn the coffee or muffins this time?!"

"That was what, once? Yeah I think I can manage."

"Good. I love you. Adam should be here soon. Let him in ok?"

"Got it."

Aaron's POV

"I watched my wife retreat into the bathroom. I then start the coffee and put the muffins in the oven and set a timer. Then I begin to get ready for my day. The kids were at her parents house for the summer. The muffin timer went off just as the doorbell rang. I got the muffins out of the oven then got the door.

"Hey Adam. She's in the bathroom. Got fresh muffins and coffee though"

"Ohh thanks. These look delicious. Didn't have time for breakfast."

"That so sounds like you. Ready to rock and roll?"

"Yeah."
