New York
They'd been in New York for a few weeks now when there was a knock on the door so she answered it. She smiled when she saw who it was on the doorstep.
"Come in," she smiled ushering in the little boy and his father. He smiled as he carried in his youngest son.
"Daddy," the twins shouted running up to him while Jack looked confused. He knew daddy said he was going to visit some special people but why were they calling him daddy. He'd never seen them before. Was he being replaced?
"Jack," he smiled kissing his hair so Jack smiled up at him and clung onto him. Daddy did love him. "These are your older brother and sister, Anais and Leon. Guys, this is your little brother, Jack."
They smiled up at him and asked, "Do you want to play?"
He nodded vigorously so Hotch put him down. He ran after his siblings while he shouted, "Be careful with him."
"They will be, Aaron. They're great with younger kids and always wanted a younger sibling," she smiled at him. "Thank you," she smiled up at him kissing his cheek.
"For what?" he answered bewildered.
"For giving them a baby brother."
"Anytime," he smiled at her kissing her hair.
"I missed you."
"I missed you, too," he answered brushing a strand of her hair off her face and behind her ear.
She placed her lips on his and kissed him while she put her hands on the back of his head feeling up his short hair. He joined in hesitantly with his in her hair.
He pulled back shortly after causing her to look up at him hurt and confused. She thought that kiss had shown he felt the same as her.
"Is this too soon?" he asked guiltily. "My wife died only six months ago."
"Do you love me?" she asked taking his head in her hands and making him look at her. He tried looking down but she made him look her in the eyes. He couldn't deny that yes he loved her. He'd never felt this way not even for Haley. He hadn't been able to stop thinking about her since they reunited.
But they hardly knew each other. They'd only met twice before though they had twins from a one night stand. Well that hadn't stopped his cousin Greg in San Francisco. He'd married his wife Dharma on their first date five years ago. At the time Haley had looked down on it but he had to admit he admired them for letting their hearts decide not their heads.
He'd have to visit New York a lot to see his children and Emily was part of that beautiful deal. They'd be getting closer and closer over time.
It only seemed right to give into his feelings now; it would make their family closer. He nodded and she smiled up at him. "This might sound crazy but I've loved you since my pregnancy," she confessed.
"I think it's kind of sweet actually," he smiled at her kissing her nose. "Look," he added nudging his head towards the doorway.
She looked round to find the twins with their heads round the doorway smiling at them, "Well I guess they're happy," she smiled at them.
She then looked back at him and he nodded so they started chasing the children threatening to tickle them. They ran way giggling while they smiled at each other. Everything would be alright and down the line she might even move to Washington.
