Chapter 14

Hotch parked on the front of his old house and killed the engine. He got out and went towards the front door, knocking it and waited for Haley. Not long after he heard his son's voice shouting on the inside and Haley's attempt to calm the little boy. The door swung open and Jack run to his dad's arms with a wide grin.

"Daddy! You came!"

Hotch couldn't help but smile. "Of course I did buddy. I promised you, didn't I?" He picked up the boy on his arms and turned to his ex-wife. "Hey".

"Hey. He was almost making me call you again." She laughed.

"I thought so. Are you excited, buddy?"

"Yeah! Where are we going?"

"Well, I was thinking of the park down the street that we used to go. Then have some lunch and go watch a movie after. Do you like it?"

"Yay!" The boy squealed. Hotch took his bag from Haley's and said goodbye, taking the boy to his car. Then went to the park and Jack immediately went to the swings, asking for Hotch to push him. They stayed on the park until almost noon and the whole time Hotch had a big grin on his face, immensely happy to finally have his little boy back. During lunch, Jack asked his daddy about their living arrangements. "Daddy?"

"Yes, buddy?"

"Are you going to come back home with us?"

Hotch felt a tug on his chest at his child innocence. "No buddy. Remember how I and your mommy talked to you not long ago? We decided that would be the best to all of us if we didn't stay together anymore because we didn't feel the same way anymore. So daddy got a new apartment just for him and left the big house for you and your mommy".

"But I thought that after we came back from our vacation we would stay together again" Jack answered with a pout.

"No buddy. Unfortunately we won't live together again. But I'll talk to mommy and ask for us to have a lot of time together, just us boys, we can have sleepovers, we can watch movies, and we can play with your Legos and your cars and go to the park and a lot of other fun places, okay?" He said, trying to light up his son mood again.

"Okay, I guess. I'll stay with you tonight? We're having a sleepover at your apartment?" The boy asked, excitedly.

"Not tonight sweetie. My apartment has some problems so I'll have to look for another place. When I move to there we can have a lot of sleepovers, okay?"

"But where are you sleeping? You can stay there too, daddy!" His son asked with such a frown that he had to smile.

"I'm staying with a friend. Miss Emily, do you remember? You met her yesterday."

"Yeah! She took the bad man away! She's awesome!"

Hotch chuckled but his inside warmed at the prospect of his son liking Emily so much. "That she is, buddy. That she is."

By the end of the day Hotch took Jack back to his house. The boy fussed a lot, not wanting to leave his father soon but with Hotch's promise to come to dinner the next day he quiet down. Haley greeted them at the door and invited Hotch in for a cup of coffee. She sent Jack to his room to play with his toys and went to the kitchen, followed by Hotch. "So… You look happy".

"I am happy. That son of a bitch is dead, I'm suspended but didn't lose my job and I got my son back. Everything is great." He answered with a smile, but also avoiding the subject he knew she wanted to talk. Although his relationship with Haley had stayed amicable after the divorce and he was glad that she didn't blame him for anything with Foyet, he thought it was really weird to talk about his love life and his new girlfriend (God, how much he loved to say this!) with his ex-wife. But by the look on her face he knew she would push the subject.

"Everything?"

Sighing he brush his hand through his hair. "Just ask, Hay."

"How did everything go last night? Did you two talk?" She asked.

"We did. She was a little reluctant to believe I was saying the truth because I'm a robot and never show my feelings but in the end everything worked out".

"I'm glad. So… She's your girlfriend now?"

"Haley, don't you see how weird is this?" Hotch asked with an awkward laugh.

"Yeah. A little. But I want you to know that I want you to be happy Aaron. I know that we had our differences, part from you, and part from me. I know that it wasn't fair for me to ask for you to change who you are and leave a job you love. I was never able to understand this world you leave in and that's why we didn't work it. But she does. She lives in this world and gets how important it's to you." She sighed and closed her eyes. "I'm not saying that it doesn't hurt. I really thought that I was going to spend the rest of my life with you but unfortunately we didn't. But I do love you. I will always love you. You were my first love, my first kiss, my first… Everything. And if I wasn't capable of making you happy I want you to be with someone who is". She looked at him and he could see the tears on her eyes.

"But you did Haley. You made me very happy. We were married for almost fifteen years. And you were my first everything too. And I will always love you". He said taking her into a tight hug. They talked about some other things and ended making plans for dinner the following day.

"You could bring Emily". Haley said when they were saying goodbye at the door.

"I'll ask her but I don't know if she'll be comfortable with".

"Well. We'll start to have a lot of contact once she is with you and we have Jack. You tell her she is welcome here any time and that she doesn't have to feel constrained about your relationship".

"Thank you Haley. For everything. Again." He said with a smile. He left and got into his car. Smiling to himself he thought about his time with his son and how much he had missed it. He thought about his talk with Haley and really believed when she said she was happy for him. They had been really happy together and although their divorce had been at little hurtful, to his part the most, they would always have a connection that couldn't be ignored and he was glad that she was supportive to this new aspect from his life.

He started the engine and took off to his apartment. He decided to go there to get ready to his date and pack a few more things to take to Emily's place. He smiled at the thought this. It was almost as if he was moving in with her. Uh. He was really surprise at his lack of worry about this idea. Because it was not like they were together for a long time. Hell, they weren't together even for a day! What if they were moving this too fast? What if he was drowning himself too deep into this new relationship and in the end would be hurt all over again? He felt his distrustful nature rising up and forced himself to stop it. He remembered of how much he trusted in Emily, how much she had already done for him and how much she had proved, over and over, that she truly loved him. With that thought in mind he parked in front of his old building, got out of his car and hurried towards the elevators. He had to get ready to go out with a beautiful brunette.

Emily groaned as she threw the fiftieth dress over her shoulder. It was ridiculous! She had spent the last twenty minutes trying to find an outfit to her date with Hotch. He had sent her a text saying that he would get ready at his place and would pick her at 8 pm. It was already 7:20 and she was still without make up, her hair damp and without a clue of what to wear. She sat down at her bed and sighed. It was ridiculous!

She looked at the mess into her closet and tried to imagine what Hotch would like to see her. Anything, the annoying voice on her head said. In nothing too, now the voice sounded very much as Garcia's. She looked at the clock and seeing that it was already 7:30 she decided to fix her hair and makeup while decided her look. She dried her hair and chose to let it fall on curls on her shoulder, a little different from what she was used to use now, always straight. She also chose to use a light makeup with just a little brown eyeshadow, some mascara and a coral gloss. She came back to her room and finally decided to go with a simple low-cut knee-length black dress, with short sleeves and black heels.

Looking at her watch she saw it was 7:55, meaning that Hotch could arrive at any minute from now, so she hurriedly put a pair of silver earrings and a little rose silver pendant she had gotten from her father on her last birthday. Just as she was picking her purse and coat she heard a knock on her door and her heart started to beat faster. She opened the door with a brightly smile and at his sight she nearly stopped breathing.

Hotch approached her door, holding a small bouquet of lilies. He had chosen to leave the suit at home and opted for a pair of dark jeans, a blue dress shirt with the two first buttons opened and a leather jacket. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. When she opened he felt his heart stop. Sweet Jesus. How it was possible for someone to look so beautiful?

"Hey" She greeted him with a wide smile.

He looked at her for a few seconds, taking in all of her. "God, you look absolutely breathtaking." He finally managed.

She blushed and looked at his appearance. His choice of wardrobe definitely surprised her but in a very good way. "Well, you look pretty great yourself, Agent Hotchner".

He smile at her at suddenly reminded of the bouquet on his hand. "Oh, these are for you".

"Thank you Aaron… They're beautiful". She said taking the flowers.

"No, you are. Gorgeous." He looked at her up and down. "God, how did I get so lucky?" He said to himself, making her blush again. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, let me just put these on a vase". She quickly went to the kitchen and put the flowers on a crystal vase before take her coat and purse and close the door. "So, where are we going?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out". He said with a smile, opening the passenger door for her. She gave him a wide smile before he closed the door and he felt his heart flutter. Going to the driver's seat he realized how lucky he really was. After a time of all darkness and tragedies he finally was on a place where he could call himself happy. Getting into the car and starting the engine he looked at the brunette at his side and thought. Yep, life was pretty great.

A/N: Did you like it? Let me know! Next chapter it'll be their date and the dinner at Haley's. I could use some suggestions! Pretty please!
