I do not own Criminal minds and I can't wait till the new season starts

'Hey well looky here your not late today Reid' Prentiss said when he entered the bull pen 'Did they kick you out already.'

'Actually no there was no class today' he said and sat down at his desk.

'Its wednesday and there is no class today, damn I wish it was that easy when i went to school.' Morgan said joining the conversaton

'Yeah there are only two classes a week' Reid said

'For training the next generation of profilers they only have to got to class for two days.'Morgan said shocked as he looked at Prentiss who looked shocked aswell.

'They only go to class for a few days and the rest they are in the field training and I must say Dr. Barkley is a really good teacher.' Reid said

'I bet she is' Morgan laughed and gave Reid a wink and he just blushed and looked away.

'Hey Rossi what do you think about Dr. Barkley.' Prentiss said as he walked out of his office.

'I haven't met her yet but I have heard good this about her so far.' he said and went into Hotch's office and knocked on the door.

'Come in' he heard his voice say.

'You have been quiet the las few days is eveything alright.' Rossi said

'Yeah eveything is fine Dave I have just been thinking alot lately.' he said

'Are you sure because I noticed you have been looking thought your window alot.' Rossi said as he raised his eyebrow to Hotch 'talk to me Hotch'

'I have been thinking about Shannon' Hotch said

Rossi just gave him a questioning look and without missing a beat Hotch said 'Dr. Barkley' and Rossi clued in.

'So... Shannon huh I didn't know you knew her.' Rossi asked

'I don't I mean I met her the other day I went to get Reid and I thought she was a student and...' Hotch stopped and looked at Rossi for a moment and then looked away.

'Ahh I get it you thought she was attractive and you feel as if you shouldn't be thinking about her like that am I right.' Rossi said and Hotch just nodded

'Look Hotch your only human and its ok to think that someone is attractive don't beat yourself up because you think it wrong.' Rossi said and Hotch still looked at him and then he clued in that he still feels as if its too soon after Haley's death.

'Aaron enough with feeling bad about Haley's death you are aloud to be happy with someone and if I remember correctly she made you promise that you wooulod show Jack how to love and I think you should get out meet a girl and be happy again.' Dave said and got up and left Hotch to his thought is his office.

'Hey Rossi were heading out to lunch would you like to join us.' JJ said

'Yeah i'll join you guys' he said

'I'll go ask Hotch' Garcia said and started walking up the stairs but Rossi stopped her.

'He is on the phone with Strauss so I think he will be awhile.' he said and took Garcia's arm in his and left for lunch with the others.

Hotch's POV

Dave was right I should get a life a go out on a date and maybe I should ask Shannon out but i'm not sure I mean she is so beautiful and looks so young but her file said that she is thirty-seven and she isn't married but maybe she has a boyfriend she has to have a boyfriend with a body like that and god what am I thinking.

Shaking his head Hotch got up from his desk and looked out his window and gave a deep sigh and put his hand in his pocket and he felt something and pulled it out and looked at it with a smile.

It was a penny that Jack found this morning and I remembered him saying find a penny pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck and I decided to to give it a flip and if it was heads I would go and asked Shannon out and if it was tails I will just walk away and I looked at it and took a deep breath...
