Disclaimed!

I totally forgot to update yesterday and I would do a double post today, but that would mean not posting on Friday, if you have a preference let me know.

Enjoy : )

...

Hotch's eyes fluttered open slowly. For the first time in years, he was relaxed. Not just comfortable, like he sometimes got after a long day at work when he got home and opened a beer, but his whole body seemed lighter.

Reaching across the bed, he suddenly realised he was alone. Half sitting, the profiler squinted around the dark room. The sun wasn't up yet, but there was a hazy grey light peeking through a thin line between the curtains.

Scrubbing his face tiredly, he grabbed his boxers that had been tossed to the ground a few hours earlier and hunted around for the reluctantly discarded shirt. Not being able to see properly, Hotch switched on the lamp and saw that his shirt was also not in the room, along with a certain blonde.

Quietly walking out of the bedroom, dressed only in his boxers, Hotch tentatively stepped down the stairs, hearing noises coming from the main living area. Shielding his eyes from the light, the profiler smirked at the sight of JJ, with un-brushed hair, wearing only his shirt as she moved around the kitchen.

"Do you ever sleep?" Hotch asked croakily, startling the woman who was obviously unaware of his presence.

JJ's eyes hovered over the half naked unit chief as she chuckled. "I was just getting us a drink."

Nodding, Hotch walked slowly towards the smiling agent and wrapped his arms around her waist. They both happily hummed into a slow but nonetheless heated kiss, as JJ's arms loosely wrapped around the taller man's neck.

"How are you feeling?" Hotch asked quietly against her moist lips.

Biting her lower lip in a smirk, Hotch tightened his hold as JJ pressed another soft kiss to profiler's lips before answering. "Pretty great. How about you?"

Guiding, JJ back into the kitchen, Hotch lifted her small frame up onto the counter and allowed her wrap her legs around his waist as he spoke, huskily into her ear. "Why did we wait so long?"

"Got me," JJ shrugged happily as his lips studiously began trailing down her throat. "We should go back to bed."

"If you insist." Hotch chuckled in between pressing soft kisses down her un-perfumed neck.

Laughing, she felt one of his hands leave her waist and slowly edged up her thigh. "I meant to sleep."

"Oh, sure you did." Hotch rolled his eyes sarcastically.

Resting her forehead on his, JJ chuckled again at his playful expression. "Really, I did. It was a long day yesterday and we've only had, like, an hours sleep."

"Uh-huh, all you want me for is my body." Hotch muttered mockingly as he pulled away from the blonde.

"I honestly meant to sleep." JJ insisted, turning the older man back towards her. Laughing, Hotch tucked his arms underneath her legs and back and raised her into a bridal hold.

JJ kissed Hotch's stern jaw momentarily as he carried her back upstairs. Giggling, the liaison lowered her voice as they walked down the corridor towards her room. "You're a good cook too."

"Huh?" Hotch asked with a raised eye as he placed her softly down on the bed and hovered above you.

JJ smiled as she ran her fingers through his hair. "I want you for your cooking as well as your body."

"Well as long as it's not all about sex." Hotch gave a throaty chuckle before covering her lips with his own.

The sun was streaming through the bedroom window as they both regained consciousness once more. Running her hands through his chest hair, JJ sighed contently as she felt his hands simultaneously rub up and down her lower back and the back of her thigh.

"Morning." Hotch kissed the top of her head, adjusting his legs slightly so they weren't so tangled up together.

JJ looked up to see his hazel eyes tiredly. "Again."

They began to kiss sweetly, until JJ pulled away. "I can't believe we're doing this."

"Well, we are. I can't lose you JJ. Now that I know what it's like to be with you, there's no chance in hell I'm letting you go." The profiler watched the blonde's smile widen before she kissed him deeply.

Hotch frowned as JJ suddenly pushed herself out of the blankets and wrapped her dressing gown around her body. "Where are you going?"

"Shower, and breakfast. I'm in the mood for bagels." JJ smiled as she came to his side of the bed and kissed the unit chief deeply.

Cupping her cheek lovingly, Hotch bit her lower lip slightly when they kissed, breaking apart, she stayed in front of him closely. "Maybe I could join you?"

Chuckling at his eager expectations, JJ nodded and held out her hand. "I'm sure we can arrange that."

Hotch wrapped the bed sheet quickly around him as the door slowly opened. Jack tiptoed into the room and came to JJ's side. "JJ, Henry's awake."

"He is?" JJ smiled down at the five year old and patted his head.

Hotch grinned at the warmness of their interaction. "Hey Jack, why don't you go and get Henry and I'll make some breakfast?"

Nodding, Jack ran out of the room leaving the adults alone once more. JJ raised an eye dejectedly. "Rain check on the shower?"

"Why don't you go ahead and I'll sort the boys out?" JJ nodded gratefully and kissed him soundly while passing him his clothes off of the floor. "Do you want bacon with your bagels?"

"Sure, I love everything you cook." JJ giggled mischievously and left to get herself ready.

A few hours later and the four of them were happily sitting on the couch watching Saturday cartoons. Henry and Jack were still reeling from the very late night because of the wedding, while JJ and Hotch were just exhausted from their extracurricular activities.

Henry snuggled further into JJ's side, his eyelids becoming heavier when Jack suddenly broke the comfortable silence that had overtaken the small group. "Daddy?"

"Yes Jack." Hotch looked down at his six year olds quizzical expression.

"Are you and JJ going to get married like Miss Penelope and Kevin?" Jack asked innocently looking between the two stunned agents.

Lifting Jack onto his lap, Hotch glanced to JJ who was intently observing the pair of them. "Why would you ask that?"

The fair haired boy shrugged before replying. "I dunno. She's your girlfriend right?"

"What you makes you think that JJ's my girlfriend?" Hotch asked with an amused smirk.

Jack looked to JJ with a confused pout. "Well, she's a girl and she's your friend."

JJ chuckled at Hotch's evident exasperation. "Erm, Jack marriage is a very serious commitment and JJ and I are, yes, friends and she is a girl and I am a boy..."

"Jack, your dad and I care for each other very much and we hope to spend more time together..." JJ's interruption of Hotch's rambling got derailed by Jack's inquisitive frown.

The youngest Hotchner turned on his father's lap so he was facing the blonde and her son. "More time than we already do?"

"Would that bother you?" Hotch asked as Jack shook his head slowly.

JJ leaned forward to brush her hand softly over the little boy's cheek as he thought. "Jack, I love your dad and you. I never want to replace your mom or your aunt Jess. Nothing is going to really change for you apart from the fact that you'll be seeing more of me and Henry, okay?"

"So no wedding?" Jack asked seriously.

"No wedding, Jack." JJ smiled at Hotch as his son leaned his head back onto the profiler's chest as he thought over things silently.

Hotch kissed Jack's head softly. "What's up buddy?"

"You and mommy were married, right?" He asked slowly, as though he was trying to work a problem out.

Nodding, Hotch looked at JJ in confusion at his son's line of questions. "We were married for many years. I loved your mom for all our time together but sometimes grown-ups need time apart."

"You got divorced, like Josh Pritchard's parents." Jack replied maturely.

"Yeah." Hotch responded with a frown at his son's sudden awareness.

Sighing heavily, Jack turned back to face JJ with a solemn expression. "Did you divorced Henry's daddy?"

"No, Will and I weren't married." JJ answered truthfully, adjusting Henry so he was more comfortable as he drifted off to sleep.

Nodding, Jack bit his lower lip before asking his next question. "Why did Henry's daddy tried to hurt Uncle Dave, last night?"

"It's complicated son." Hotch stated with a small smile as his eyes connected with JJ's.

"Would Henry's daddy and my mommy, be upset if you married JJ, daddy?" Jack asked with wide eyes. "Because then maybe you shouldn't get married."

"Jack no one is getting married. What's all of this really about?" Hotch chuckled at his son's serious face.

Shrugging, Jack sighed tiredly. "You kissed JJ."

"What?" Hotch tugged his son closer as e could see the young boy's emotions.

"You kissed JJ when we were having breakfast. But what if mommy or Henry's daddy gets upset? And what happens if you and JJ get divorced, then I can't play with Henry no more and what about the bad man that hurt mommy, will they hurt JJ?" Jack took a deep breath after he finished his list of concerns.

Sighing, Hotch turned Jack so he could meet his son's dark eyes. "Jack, you really have nothing to worry about okay? I love you, JJ and Henry. Nothing bad will happen to any of us and JJ knew your mommy, Jack. She would have wanted us to be happy, and JJ makes us happy, right?"

Chuckling, Jack nodded. "JJ's funny."

"Yeah. Are we good?" Hotch asked with a raised eye, seeing JJ nod softly in the corner of his eye as Jack's head bobbed up and down.

Yawning, Jack leaned back onto his dad, smiling happily as JJ and Henry leaned into the older man's side also, for an afternoon snooze.
