Somebody to Watch Over Me

Chapter 5

"Hey, do you fancy going for a walk?" Emily heard Morgan ask the group.

"Isn't it a little late?" Reid asked him, looking up to the dark sky. It was nearing on midnight and Henry was asleep, however Jack was not, since he was hyped up on smores – thanks to Garcia. So being slightly older, Aaron let him stay up late.

"Come on, kid. It'll be fun." Derek encouraged the younger man.

"I'm in." Emily agreed, standing up as well as Will and JJ, Garcia and Aaron. Rossi and Reid volunteered to stay with the sleeping Henry.

"I want to come!" Jack yelled excitedly, latching himself onto Emily's arm. The brunette stopped herself in allowing him and instead looked at Aaron for his permission, knowing that it would look strange if she gave her boss' son permission to join.

"Sure, buddy. You can come." Aaron smiled at his son, and ruffled his hair, "As long as you stay close, alright?"

"Yeah, I'll stay right between you two!" He grabbed Aaron's arm with his other hand, so Aaron and Emily were joined through Jack. Emily tried to act natural when she saw JJ giving her a pointed look.

Aaron held Jack back until the trio was walking at the back of the group to avoid the strange looks he pretended he didn't see JJ giving Emily. He knew his girlfriend was glad when he saw her mouthing thanks at him through the half-darkness.

"Did you hear what nicknames her and Jack call each other?" JJ whispered to Garcia and Morgan after checking that Emily and Aaron were too far away to hear.

"Yes! They're so cute!" Garcia responded a little too loudly and was shushed by JJ and Morgan.

"Her and Hotch must be closer than we realized." Morgan admitted, "Yeah, I knew they were getting lunch together a couple times a week, but I just thought they were doing work."

"Do you think they're a couple?" Garcia asked; Morgan shrugged.

"They've been closer than they used to be, but haven't shown that they're anything more than friends."

"I don't think they are." JJ commented, "I spoke to Em earlier and she seemed surprised when I suggested it – she almost choked on her drink." She chuckled at the memory.

"I guess we'll see what happens then, won't we." Garcia said mysteriously, grabbing Morgan's hand and stalking off further into the trees,

"Ugh!" Emily grunted as she slapped at another mosquito on her arm, "Why are they only coming towards me and not you guys? Am I some sort of bug magnet?"

"Think of it this way," Morgan said, sitting beside her, "At least it means you taste good." Emily scowled at him; her face rivaling Aaron's at the most vile of unsubs.

"Gee Morgan, thanks. That'll definitely help me sleep at night." She remarked drily, patting him on the shoulder.

"Glad to be of service." Morgan grinned, just annoying her even more. As soon as Morgan left her side Aaron passed her some bug spray over her shoulder.

"Thanks!" She whispered to him, although she knew they were being slightly dramatic. Nobody would look at him twice for giving her some bug spray, right?

"Look at them two." JJ whispered to Morgan and Garcia, whilst stealthily watching the exchange take place, "They totally have the hots for each other."

"We need to do something!" Garcia exclaimed, a glint of mischief in her eye.

"Like what? They'd see right through it. They're profilers Pen, remember?" Garcia held up a hand.

"Uh-uh! If they're able to see through it they would have already been able to see they're perfect for each other!" She cooed, "Which, they haven't I might add."

"They are perfect for each other…" JJ agreed, "But what about Jack?"

"But nothing about Jack, he adores gumdrop!" They fell silent as neither could disagree.

"So what are we going to do then?" Morgan asked, not sure whether he would want to be dragged into another of Garcia's schemes.

"Hmm," Garcia hummed, "Leave that to me." She got up before either of them could stop her and stalked determinedly over towards Hotch and Emily.

"Oh boy." Morgan murmured under his breath.

"Good afternoon my dark-haired profilers." Garcia greeted them almost too happily.

"Hey Pen." Emily smiled, but didn't miss the glint in her blonde friend's eye, "What's up?" Aaron straightened up as he emerged from his tent a few meters away from where his girlfriend was seated.

"Well, we're kinda running out of some firewood so I figured that we should go get some more." She suggested, playing out to their helpful natures, knowing that they wouldn't decline.

"Okay." Emily stood from the log as Aaron walked over to join them and the trio made their way into the trees.

"What is that girl doing?" Morgan wondered as he saw the group disappear into the woods.

"Only God knows." JJ shook her head.

"Oh shoot!" Garcia exclaimed suddenly, stopping in her tracks, "I forgot to tell Morgan something, you'd better go on without me!" And with that she rushed off the way she came before either of them could get a word in. The couple stood in silence for a few seconds.

"Did she…" Emily trailed off; pointing a finger in the direction the eccentric blonde had sped off into, "Did she just do what I thought she just did?" Her eyebrows wrinkled together in confusion.

"If by that you meant that she purposely left us alone together, then yes - She did do what you're thinking she did." Aaron remarked, before they both erupted into laughter.

"Oh wow." Emily said, wiping under her eyes with her finger after they laughter had died down, "I do love myself a good bit o' dramatic irony." They began walking forwards again, picking up wood as they went – they still had to get firewood.

"What are we going to do, then?" Aaron asked, still smirking at the over-dramaticness that is Penelope Garcia. Emily shrugged, chuckling.

"Maybe have a little fun of our own?" Aaron wrapped his free arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Ooh, that sounds fun. We really should tell them soon, but we might as well get a laugh out of it." The dark-haired man said.

"I like the way you think, Agent Hotchner." She tilted her head back and kissed him. They stopped walking when Aaron deepened the kiss, both of them haphazardly dropping the firewood on the floor to wrap their hands round one another. Emily let her hands glide up his sides and wrap ran her fingers through his now mussed-up hair, whilst running her tongue across his bottom lip, begging for permission to enter. Aaron gave her entrance immediately, one of his hands around her neck, the other around her waist, tugging her as close as physically possible; neither knew when this opportunity would arise again in the next few days. It was a silent battle of tongues, both fighting for dominance, only stopping when the couple were forced to break to fill their burning lungs with air.

Emily leant against Aaron, not pulling away from the embrace.

"We should probably get back soon, I don't even want to know the scenarios running through Garcia's head right about now." Emily whispered once she'd finally gotten her breath back. Aaron sighed, knowing that she was right.

"I love you, Emily Prentiss." He pressed his lips to the top of her head, and Emily grinned into his chest.

"I love you too, Aaron Hotchner."

Aww some cute Hotchniss fluff at the end for ya:') I thought this would be really funny, its like on the episode of Friends with Chandler and Monica "They don't know that we know that they know!"

And some major cuteness in the next chapter too!

And if you couldn't guess where the team names were from ( Trackers, Cliffhangers and Ridgerunners ) Theyre from a TV show called Higher Ground that AJ Cook starred in. I thought it was an amazing show! All of the episodes are on youtube if you want to have a look;)!
