"That's not good," Garcia groaned an hour later, "we have to do it the old-fashioned way. Take a look at this, Derek, the questionnaire is endless. I have no idea, whether Hotch prefers the mountains or the sea, or whether he likes breakfast in bed. Or, oh Lord, if he has unusual requests in bed? Chocolate bear, I do not want to know this stuff about Hotch ... do you think he has? " Garcia added after a short pause.
Derek laughed, "well, he likes bossing us around, maybe...ouch!" Derek conceded a slap from Garcia.
"We should focus, sugar-plum. The first question is, where we put the ad in?" she asked.
"Washington Post" Derek shot like a pistol, "reputable and dignified."
Garcia chuckled, "just as Hotch."
oOo
"So you 've really missed me? " Ken was laughing and peeled Spencer provocative slowly out of his shirt and his sweater.
"It just doesn´t work for me, I didn´t see you almost two weeks." Spencer said as strict as possible, but he had to giggle again and again, what slowed the effect of his words somewhat. Kenneth had skilled hands and was unerringly getting the points on Reid's body, that were ticklish. Spencer moaned longingly and fiddled with Ken's belt and his pants. If anyone had told him, he´d feel for another person this way, Spencer would have laughed uproariously. Ken was his missing piece, Spencer hardly remembered life without him. He leaned against Ken, who was kissing his belly button and moved a little further down. Spencer joined a little scream as Ken pushed him onto the bed, pulled down his pants and shorts and unashamed took, what Spencer had to offer.
"Do not stop," Spencer had difficulties to speak, what Ken did to him, just felt too good. Spencer rolled his eyes and clawed at the bedspreads. He cried out loudly when he cum.

Jack sat on the coffee table, watching his father. Hotch had fallen asleep on the couch, clutching a pillow. Jack wondered, if his dad probably thought, that pillow was Callie? He sighed softly. Daddy missed Callie, a lot. Jack knew. So why shouldn´t his dad do the same thing, he did? For Jack, it was a plush teddy bear, named Alfred, he was holding on to at night, his dad was holding on to a pillow. For Jack it made no difference, one just didn´t feel alone, when hugging something.
Hotch blinked, " Jack?" he asked sleepily, "everything ok? Had a bad dream? "
Jack shook his head vigorously, "No. I was thinking me dizzy," he said.
"Dizzy? How come, Jack?" Hotch repeated and sat up, "why did you do that, Jack? " he patted next to his right side on the sofa and Jack snuggled up to his father like greased lightning.
" I always have to think ´bout Becca, Daddy. Granny Abby has to go to the hospital, soon. To get cut open." Jack sighed again, " I heard you talking about it, when we dropped Becca at her Granny´s house." he said firmly. Jack didn´t wanna hear some white lies from his father or some lame excuses.
Hotch nodded. "You 've already noticed, Grandma Abby is walking very badly. But this will get better after the surgery. " Hotch tried to explain, he knew exactly, what was bugging his son.
"Becca needs a place to stay, Daddy. You promised! Becca can´t live with strangers, she belongs to us!" Jack moved away a bit from his father and looked at him seriously. "I don´t speak a single word with you again, if you lied to me." Jack slid off the couch and shuffled back into his room, dragging Alfred with him, grabbing him only by one arm. "Never ever!", he stated, closing the door loudly behind himself.
"Don´t look at me so reproachfully, love" Hotch said to Callie 's picture on the shelf. "What do you expect me to do? "
oOo
Derek yawned widely, "ok, my girl, what do we have so far?"
'Sporty, handsome guy, in his late forties, working in law enforcement with an interest in photography and motorcycles seeks adequate partner. Ideally, you are open-minded, friendly, well-educated, fond of children and you must have a stable personality.'
"Uh, for how long are we sitting here? " Derek asked soberly.
Pen snorted, "three hours, but this is not my fault, Double Choc. I wanted it to be loose and flaky, then you popped up with the' adequate partner '. And what do you mean by 'stable personality' ? "
" I just thought it sounds good," Derek admitted reluctantly.
Garcia chuckled, " if I ever need to find a man, chocolate wonder, please don´t help me." Derek muttered something, Garcia didn´t understand.
'He, in his late forties, a single parent, interested in many things, sexy, open-minded, looking for you. Yes. Just you. When you´re a fun-loving, humorous woman, looking for a harmonious relationship, then feel addressed.'
"Well, she´s gonna need the humor," Derek groused and Pen pelted him with popcorn. The second attempt wasn´t even better than the first one.
"Tomorrow morning we´ll ask JJ," Pen said determined. "Would be ridiculous, if we don´t find a nice girl for Hotch."
Morgan thought of Hotch, for a moment. What he said, about falling in love again. What if...Oh, what the heck. Appetite always came while you´re eating. Derek pushed his doubts aside.
"I take your sofa, princess. Was a busy day today." Derek yawned again and Garcia handed him pillow and blanket.
"But you don´t dally around in the bathroom, tomorrow morning. You understand, muffin?"
oOo
It was a very quiet breakfast in the Hotchner household this morning. Jack was still angry at his father. He didn´t want to hear about problems, he wanted Rebecca to become his sister.
"Then we 'll have to find one," he firmly said, when Hotch stopped in front of the school building.
"What do we have to find, Jack? " Hotch asked, irritated, this were the first words, he heard from his son today.
"A Mom, Daddy. You said you cannot adopt Becca, because you´re just a single dad. Then we have to find a Mom for me and Becca."
Jack smiled and kissed his father´s cheek. For him, the problem was already solved.
Hotch groaned, "Adoption is a serious thing, Jack." Hotch pulled Jack out of the child seat and let him get out of the car. For Jack, it was simple, Hotch thought. A Mom, he had already found her, one of the best Mom´s ever.
The pain hit Hotch with such brutal force, he felt like shattering into a thousand pieces. Hotch had to think at the photo, standing on his desk in the office. He secretly shot it. Callie was sleeping and Jack was snuggling up to her. Callie had put her arms around Jack and Alfred. For Hotch, this picture was the epitome of love, everything, he ever dreamt of. Everything, that now was lost. He had to hold on to the car and tried to breathe calmly. Jack didn´t have to know, what was going on.
Becca got off the school bus and discovered Jack and Hotch immediately. She rushed at the two of them and hugged Jack fiercely. Then she jumped halfway up to Hotch.
"You're pretty heavy with your bag," Hotch said as normally as possible and held Becca close. "Good morning, honey. "
"Good morning, Uncle Hotch." Becca beamed happily and ruffled Hotch 's hair a bit. "You don´t have to look so strict," she said earnestly.
"Nice hairdo," JJ said a while later in the kitchenette of the BAU. She poured herself some coffee and Hotch handed her his mug, too.
"Becca said, I must not look so strict," he said with a tiny smile, that immediately disappeared again.
"Not a good day, today? " she asked, looking at Hotch. Hotch shook his head, " no, not a good day at all. Jack is mad at me, I shall find a Mom, so we can adopt Becca." Hotch leaned back against the kitchen cabinet, folded his arms and looked down. "I cannot, JJ. Find someone new. Sometimes I miss her so much, it almost tears me apart. "
JJ hugged Hotch spontaneously, "it will get better, Hotch. You have to have patience. Someone will come, for sure. And you don´t replace Callie by letting another woman into your heart. You try to get happy again, Hotch. That´s what Callie wanted."
Oh Hotch, JJ thought. I wish, you´d find a woman who showers you and Jack with so much love as possible.

Renee turned to the other side, she had closed the blinds, but was still awake for hours. Jet lag.
But actually it was not just the jet lag, first and foremost, it was Aaron Hotchner, who robbed her sleep. Renee grabbed the pink elephant that lay on her bed, it was Jack´s . He was sleeping in her room when her Grandpa took care of him. Renee did not mind, on the contrary, it was good, when her room wasn´t vacant. She turned on her cell phone and looked at the picture. Renee gently stroked it.
"What you have you thought merely, Callie.", she said softly. "You were you so sure, Aaron and I are a perfect fit. But how am I supposed to do this? Hi, I'm Renee, Callie chose me for you? Probably he runs away anyway, because he doesn´t like me."
Renee got up and took a critical look at herself in the mirror. She was a completely different type than Callie. But actually I look passable, she thought. There is just a lot of me to love, a J-Lo butt and a D-cup, completely silicone free. Renee giggled and wiggled her butt. " I'm sexy and I know it ," Renee giggled again and put her silk kimono on.
"Good morning, Froglet," Ike said, when Renee came down the stairs. "You got some sleep? "
"Not really, Grandpa." Renee sniffed, "that´s French toast?"
Ike nodded, " I know, it´s your favorite dish."
Renee sat down, "hm, how I 've missed that. Thank you, Grandpa. Maybe we make dinner tonight, what do you think? We could invite Kenneth Baker and his friend, Ken is nice and Spencer is cute. And of course Aaron and Jack. "
Ike smiled, "so you want to grab the bull by the horns? "
"I made this promise to Callie. I don´t know if it makes any sense, Grandpa, but it was her wish. And I think Aaron is a good man. When I look at his eyes...I know, I can love him, Grandpa."

JJ was on her way back to her office again, when she was suddenly dragged into a file room.
"What the ... " Morgan put his hand over her mouth.
"Hush, JJ. This is a covert operation. " Garcia nodded , "super-secret, JJ. Morgan and I are looking for a woman for Hotch."
"A woman for Hotch? "JJ repeated. "Folks, this isn´t a covert operation, it's a Mission Impossible. "
