Greetings and Salutations! Today's chapter will be focusing on Hotch, which will be different for me. I hope you enjoy.
As always, I don't own anything but the plot of this one shot.

Song: "I'll Be Home For Christmas"
Preferred Version: Frank Sinatra, Kim Walker-Smith, Pentatonix


Another day and another case done, Hotch thought to himself as he got on the plane going back to D.C. They had just spent a week in Omaha and the whole team was exhausted and anxious to get home. None more so than Aaron Hotchner.

He had barely gotten settled into his seat when the Peanuts theme began playing loudly. Hotch smiled as he his phone lit up with a picture of Jack. This picture was his particular favorite as it displayed the young boy in a dirty and torn shirt and shorts combo, holding up a small frog that he had found in the bushes. Never mind that the caller ID showed the name of Haley's sister, who still watched Jack from time to time as she was able.

"Hey buddy, how are you?"

"Okay daddy. Are you gonna make it?"


MDB Note: A little short tonight, but it leads well into tomorrow morning's story, so stay tuned!
