A/N: So, that was Choice A, this is Choice B. It is not in sequence with the last chapter.
Dedication: CharlotteBurke is the only one who said Aaron, so…
I tossed and turned all night, trying to decide. I had given up on sleep long ago. The next morning, I reached the BAU. I was ready for this! 'No you're not.' I made the back of my mind hush. It wasn't helpful. The whole team was gathered around when I arrived. Strauss saw me and smiled tightly.
"Jean, I apologize for the miscommunication we apparently had. You were supposed to announce your choice yesterday after your date." I sighed.
"It was ten o'clock when I got home. I wasn't going to be able to think straight!" She nodded.
"Right. Well, how do you want to announce your decision?" I frowned.
"Everybody, stand and line up in a line here, facing me, yeah, so I can see everyone…" I instructed as the five men moved. I continued,
"Ok, Just to start off, Kevin, Dave, Derek, Sit down." Morgan and Rossi did so. Kevin glared.
"No, I thought you were going to pick me!" I shook my head and pointed. He sat.
Now for the hard part.
"Aaron, Spencer, I had a wonderful time with each of you, but…" I was startled when Spencer cut me off.
"May I guess? First of all, you already fell in love with his son.
Second of all, you had an amazingly comfortable date with Hotch-Um, Aaron. You really felt like I was trying too hard.
Thirdly, you already feel like you are a part of his family.
It's ok. I understand. How close was I?" I looked at him with extreme surprise.
"Um, spot on, actually… I'm sorry…" He nodded, and repeated,
"It's ok." Then he went and sat down at his desk. I turned to Aaron. He put his hand on my shoulder, then gently leaned down and kissed me. I smiled softly. We pulled away. I heard applause from all around me. I turned around, surprised. The whole team was applauding. I saw Spencer stand, and the rest of the team followed. I looked into Spencer's eyes, and he smiled. I smiled back, and turned back to Aaron. He smiled at me. He gently leaned over and kissed me again, and this time, I knew we were free.
Spencer didn't mind us dating.
Strauss didn't mind Aaron dating.
And Derek and Rossi were ok with it.
Kevin… No, I wasn't even going to think of him at that moment.
We were both finally happy.
