Ok so it's the next day now and Emily and Hotch decide what to tell the team. This chapter is mainly bonding between Emily and Jack though... sort of a little family moment. =)

Still October 2008. Jack is three by the way.

Emily walked down the corridor that Hotch's apartment was on and knocked on the door twice before standing and waiting patiently for the door to open.

She'd deliberately been a little later than Hotch would have been expecting her because she knew he got Jack at ten and she didn't particularly want to be there when Haley dropped him off because she didn't think the atmosphere would be very nice to say the least.

After about a minute she heard the lock in the door click open and seconds later the door swung open to reveal a worn out, but happy looking Hotch.

"Hey, come in just be careful that you don't stand on any of Jacks toys." Hotch said with a smile as he watched Emily step in the door cautiously, looking down to make sure there was no toys under her feet.

Once she crossed the threshold Hotch swooped in and placed a brief but passion filled kiss on her lips, before pulling back and smiling again.

Once he done this Emily immediately stepped back outside again and stood for a brief second before coming back in, a grin plastered on her face the whole time.

"What are you doing?" Hotch asked, trying not to laugh.

"Well if that's the sort of greeting I get when I come into your apartment, I think I'm going to do it more often." Emily said with a wink.

"Oh believe me sweetheart, you don't have to walk in to get a kiss, I give them out for free." Hotch teased, before leaning in and giving Emily what would have been a slightly more passionate kiss than the last one, if it were not for the younger Hotchner interrupting their moment.

"Ew!" Came the sound of Jack's voice from inside the room.

Emily and Hotch broke apart and turned to find the young boy staring at them, a look of disgust written all over his face.

"Daddy, oo know giwls have cooties!" Jack exclaimed, his voice full of disgust at what his father was doing.

"Even you're Aunty Emily?" Hotch asked, trying his best not to laugh at the expression on his sons face.

Jack then looked at Emily... who was also bursting her ribs trying not to laugh... and his face immediately broke into a small smile as he rushed towards her and wrapped his small arms around her legs.

"Emmy!" He squeaked happily as he made contact with Emily's side, almost toppling her over, and if it wasn't for Hotch's quick reflexes she probably would have fallen.

"Hey there Jacko." Emily replied happily as she lifted the small boy into her arms and swung him around, causing him to giggle.

"What awe oo doin' hewe Emmy?" Jack asked once she'd stopped swinging him and placed him sitting on her hip.

Emily looked to Hotch now, not sure whether to tell Jack that she was just visiting, or whether she was his daddy's new girlfriend.

"Well buddy." Hotch said, stepping in once he seen Emily give him a look, "Miss Emily is my new girlfriend... and I thought it would be fun if she came over for a while to play with us today... what do you think of that?" He asked his son simply, not wanting to confuse the tree year old too much.

"Will Emmy watch Shwek 2 wiv me?" Jack asked hopefully, looking at his father.

"If that's what you want, then I'd love to watch Shrek 2." Emily replied smiling at the young boy.

"Yay! I wike Emmy to stay daddy!" Jack exclaimed happily as he wriggled free of Emily's grasp and ran to the DVD stand in the sitting room to look for the Shrek DVD.

"Well that was easy." Emily murmured to Hotch as they made their way over to the couch to sit down and watch the DVD.

"Well Jack's a lot like me you know... he can tell when someone is worth getting to know." Hotch informed her as they sat down, Emily curling right up to Hotch's side, Hotch sliding an arm around her waist.

Hotch then leant over and placed a quick kiss on her forehead before Jack joined them, jumping into Hotch's lap and leaning on Emily's shoulder, giving the remote control to his father so the DVD could be turned on.

The threesome sat in silence for the duration of the DVD, Jack jumping happily whenever donkey started to sing, and making a disgusted face when Fiona and Shrek kissed, but other than that there was no noise, Emily and Hotch being happy just sitting with each other and Jack being far to engrossed in the movie.

"Wat now?" Jack enquired once the credits began to roll on the screen.

"Well I think it's time you had a nap." Hotch told him, noticing his son's eye lids beginning to droop.

"No! Me wana bake cookies!" Jack said, looking as if he was about to throw a tantrum.

"Well how about when you wake up, I can have cookies ready for you?" Emily asked, hoping this would avoid a temper tantrum.

"Kay." Jack said happily, immediately looking happy again.

"Right buddy come on, I'll read you a really quick story if you hurry." Hotch told him, before the young boy rushed off towards his room.

"I won't be long." Hotch informed Emily as he got up of the couch after his son and leant down to kiss her quickly, before following Jack towards the young boy's room.

Hotch was of course true to his word, and he re-appeared five minutes later, minus Jack and sat down beside Emily again, pulling her into his lap.

"So if I understand the phone call we had last night, JJ and Garcia are on to us?" Hotch asked, as Emily rested her head on his.

"Well... they know I'm dating someone... they don't know it's you though." Emily informed him, as she traced circles on the back of his jumper with her finger.

"Well do you think we should tell them?" Hotch asked her.

"I don't know... I don't want it to look like I swooped in on you after your divorce." Emily told him quietly. "And I don't want to get a name just because I'm sleeping with the boss." She added.

"I seriously don't think the team... our family, will think anything even remotely along those lines." Hotch told her reassuringly, "in fact I'm pretty sure they'll be jumping for joy." He added with a smile.

"Mm, I suppose you're right... we'll tell them soon." Emily murmured.

"Ok," Hotch replied quietly, "You know you're not technically sleeping with your boss." He added in a teasing voice.

"Oh believe me, that won't be true for much longer." Emily replied flirtatiously.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking." Hotch teased, as he began to slowly slide his hands down Emily's back, towards the waistline of her jeans.

"Normally I'd say yes, I most certainly am... but your son is sleeping in the next room and we promised we'd have cookies ready for him when he woke up." Emily reminded him.

"Spoil sport." Hotch muttered, as Emily began to get up.

He didn't let her get away that easily though, pulling her back down onto his lap and connecting their lips in a mind numbing kiss, refusing to pull apart until their oxygen levels became dangerously low.

"Mm... Only you could make me not want to make cookies for your son." Emily said once she caught her breath.

"Glad to know I've that effect on you." Hotch replied with a smirk, before they both got up and moved towards the kitchen to start baking.
