A/N sorry for the delay, real life was calling. Again, a very special 'Thank you' to Guest. Yes, Renee is a very caring person and she knows, Abby and her Grandpa are not getting any younger. And with her, moving in with Aaron, Ike´d be alone, the same goes for Abby. So enjoy the next chapter.

"You had to check out that glass door, right Froglet?" Ike shook his head and lit into Renee's eyes. "Look right. And left. Okay, you seem to be fine."

Renee laughed, " I've told you. I'm not confused. My suggestion with Granny Abby is serious, Grandpa. I never liked you living in that house, so alone. I think it is a good idea. Especially when I´m moving in with Aaron. "
"Did you well consider it, Renee? After all, Hotch and Callie have lived there together." Ike reminded her.

" I know, Grandpa. But I got no problem with that and Callie wanted it, nevertheless. I feel comfortable in the apartment. Hotch, the kids and I, we will be happy there." Ike hugged his granddaughter lovingly. "I´m keeping my fingers crossed for you, Froglet."

Renee and the kids spent really cozy and nice days. On Tuesday, they went to the Botanical Gardens, on Wednesday afternoon some shopping was planned. Renee was confident, Hotch would be back before the weekend and she was looking forward to the trip to Sandbridge Beach. She definitely needed a new bikini and Jack and Becca had grown out of her bathing stuff, too. They were just about to leave, when there was a knock at the door.
"Mrs. Coffin? " Renee said surprised, " Hotch is still in Texas. But please, do come in."

"I wanted to talk to the children, Dr. Malone. But I see you are on the go."

Renee nodded, "we´re on our way to the mall, for some shopping and some ice cream. Children? This is Mrs. Coffin, she wants to talk to you a bit."

Becca clung to Renee, she knew, who Mrs. Coffin was, from her Granny. And Becca also knew, what it eventually ment, that she was here. Child Care Service was about to take her away?

She began to cry, " I do not want to go with her," she sobbed. "Please, Renee. I do not want to be somewhere else!"

Jack had already watery eyes, but stood bravely before Renee and Becca. "You cannot take her with you," he said, as resolutely as possible.

"Oh my cuties, no one is talking about taking you away from us, love." Renee took Becca up and squeezed her tight. "Mrs. Coffin is here to see if everything is ok, honey."

Renee kissed her. "There´s no reason to cry, my dear. Honestly." Becca wiped her tears away, Renee still squeezed the trembling child tightly.

"I don´t want to take you away, Rebecca," Mrs. Coffin said, shocked by the reaction she had caused.

"Honestly not? " Jack asked. Mathilda Coffin nodded and stroked Jack´s hair. " I just wanted to ask how you feel and if you get along well with each other, Jack. You must not be afraid of me. " Jack still looked suspicious.

"You´re okay, sweet cheeks? " Renee asked and Becca shook her head, "You still have to cuddle me for a while, Renee. "

Renee smiled, "of course, I will. Jack? Why don´t you show Mrs. Coffin some of the pictures, we were drawing, earlier?"

Jack nodded and a minute later, he was back with the pictures.
A bit later, when everyone calmed down and had a cup of cocoa and some cookies, Mrs. Coffin listened intently when Becca told about the climbing area, she, Jack and Hotch often visited. "And I am getting much better, Hotch - Dad does not have to help me that much anymore. It was a bit frightening, to climb, in the beginning, I've been scared. But Hotch-Dad has always been paying attention. I like him a lot." Rebecca said softly. " And Jack and Renee as well." Becca snuggled up to Renee again.

" That's all I have to know," Mrs. Coffin said firmly. Rebecca was in good hands here. But there was something, she was interested in, "what's happened to your face, Dr. Malone?"

Renee blushed, "that's a bit embarrassing, to be honest. Do you remember the large glass door that leads to Aaron's department? "
"Of course I do, I nearly hit it, if the nice Agent Rossi didn´t warn me."

Renee had to laugh, "this warning was too late for me, I´m afraid. I hit the door in full speed."

Tilly Coffin escaped a compassionate "Ouch. "

" Becca and I have blown on Renee´s forhead, she said, it doesn´t hurt no more." Jack said.

Renee laughed again, "yes, that´s what you did. You are lovely children, my cuties. " Renee happily hugged both of them.

Mrs. Coffin had to smile, what a beautiful picture. She felt sorry for herself. Having no children of her own, always made her sad. Her thoughts wandered back to Georg. Tilly moaned. He had been the love of her life. She and Georg Dietrich had been so in love, back then in Heidelberg. But then, there had been an emergency in her family and she couldn´t return to Heidelberg. Tilly was wondering, how her life would have been, with Georg.

"You´re ok? " Renee asked. She had noticed, Mathilda had become suddenly sad.

"Missed opportunities, Dr. Malone," Mathilda answered honestly.

"Something you can fix, maybe? " Renee wanted to know.

"It was long ago, Dr. Malone. I'm sure Georg is a happily married man now. We have studied together in Heidelberg, he was almost finished and I was in my second year. Like I said, it was long ago, Dr. Malone."

Renee felt sorry for Mathilda. " Why do not come to the mall with us? You might find something nice to wear? Something, that's not that serious as your costume? You're a pretty woman, Mathilda. Why don´t you join us? "
"Unfortunately, Dr. Malone ... I mean, we have been professionally involved with each other, it would not be appropriate. But a lot of fun for you. Goodbye, kids. And, Dr. Malone? It was a very nice offer, thank you."

Renee watched her leaving, thoughtfully. Becca tugged at Renee's shirt. " Can we go shopping now, Renee ? "
"Of course, darling. "

oOo

After a while the bags were piled. A lot of new things for Becca and Jack and also Renee had found the perfect fit. A very pretty bikini in brown and gold, which emphasized her curves and Hotch would have no choice but to...well. Renee had to smile.

After three exhausting hours the three of them sat in an in the ice cream parlor and enjoyed their ice cream sundaes. Renee still thought about Mrs. Coffin. She did´t get her out of her head. She knew Prof. Georg Dietrich well and Renee knew, he also studied in Heidelberg. And she knew, he was never married. Renee always wondered, why. There had to be a reason. Maybe this reason was Tilly? But Georg was more than a common name in Germany. It would have been too much to ask if her professor would be identical to Mathilda 's Georg. A little question would do no harm, Renee thought. Maybe, mistakes from the past could be turned into something right and good? Renee decided, to call Georg Dietrich in the evening.

On Thursday morning in Fort Worth handcuffs were clicking. "Do you understand these rights? " Hotch asked annoyed and Nathan Buckley nodded. Hotch dragged the guy into the patrol car. Another one, who wouldn´t do no more harm to anyone, he thought with relief. He was glad to get home. Home to Renee and the children. It felt good to think that way . Hotch smiled briefly. He knocked on the roof of the patrol car and the officer drove off.

"Ok, that was hard work," Derek yawned and stretched, three days in the adrenalin rush and almost no sleep had left their marks on everyone. Reid's eye circles shone from afar, Hotch looked crumpled and completely killed, that little fight with the UnSub had contributed it´s own difficulties. But Derek's face lit up again on, he thought of Mona and the date on Saturday. This Mambo dancing wouldn´t be no problem, Morgan grinned, besides, he had other qualities.

"Listen to me, please," Rossi said a little later on the plane, "before you all disappear into the realm of dreams. Tonight, Casa Rossi will offer a movie night. It has come to my knowledge, one of our colleagues, irrelevant, who that is," Rossi grinned at Morgan, "has no idea of Dirty Dancing. That´s a shame. Jess and I will be expecting you at 6 p.m. There will be some food, some wine and of course, some Dirty Dancing. So don´t forget your dancing shoes."

JJ smiled, this would be fun, she and Will loved to dance.

Spencer's husband held a chat with Garcia in her cave. Kenneth Reid-Baker was in town, since yesterday, to see appropriate premises for the branch office of his publishing house. It was clear, now that they were married, they had to find a workable solution for their living and work situation. Ken was aware, he would be the one, who had to move to DC. Spencer had to be ready for battle, he couldn´t move to NY. It was ok for Ken, to be the moving one, he liked new challenges.

"But the last one sounded good, Kenny-bear. Why didn´t you take it?" Garcia was wondering.

" Yes, but unfortunately it was already sold. And I always thought it´s difficult in NY to find something appropriate, I had no idea, how difficult DC is."

Garcia thought a little, "there´s this magazine, I heard of. Insider. Somewhere in Downtown, they´re broke. Maybe that´s what you´re looking for?"

" A magazine? I publish books, Pen. I have no idea of magazines. " Ken replied.

"But for that you 've got the inside track people. It´s some kind of cooperative, Kenny-bear. "

Ken had to laugh, he liked Garcia and her crazy ideas . "I will think this over, Penny. Oh, and by the way. Thanks for your offer, to organize our party. Neither Spencer nor I are very good in such things."

Pen nodded, "that´s why you got me. I 'm very happy for you and our little genius. And I've also found something else, a little surprise for you." Garcia was waving a CD. "The party highlight, I promise."

Suddenly a red light began to flicker. "Ah, this is Billy from the airfield, our sweeties are back. "
"Then I´m gonna surprise my husband." Ken smiled. He kissed Garcia´s cheek, " I´ll be thinking about the cooperative later, crazy chicken. "

oOo

Spencer dropped his go-bag, when he saw Ken sitting on his desk in the bullpen. Actually, his sweetheart was supposed to be in NY now. Spencer rushed straight into Ken's arms and the two men kissed passionately. Hotch and Rossi grinned, Derek rolled his eyes and JJ and Alex simply rejoiced in the overjoyed Spencer Reid-Baker and his husband.
Hotch spontaneously decided, the paperwork had time until tomorrow and sent the team home.

Derek was about to leave, too, when his eyes fell on a pile of letters on his desk. The sender was the Washington Post. Morgan groaned, he quite successfully repressed the thought of the ad, he had put in the paper, for Hotch. Apparently a few ladies liked, what they read. Crap, Derek thought. But, this was paperwork, too. Well, kind of. Ergo, it had time, until tomorrow, too.

oOo

Hotch heard Renee and the children laughing, before he unlocked the door.

"You hear that? Daddy´s coming home. " Renee said. The children rushed to Hotch , who was standing in the doorway. Especially Becca did not want to let go of her beloved Hotch-Dad.

"Mrs. Coffin has been here," Renee whispered in his ear. Hotch nodded and squeezed Rebecca firmly. He sat down with her on the couch. "Come here, too Jack. Renee and I have to tell you something." Jack hopped to his father on the sofa and Renee also sat down.

" Renee just told me, Mrs. Coffin was there. You don´t have to be afraid, Becca. No one is gonna take you away from us. You can stay with Jack, Renee and me. That´s what you want, right?"

Becca sniffed , "there´s nothing, I want more. I love you so much." Becca snuggled close to Hotch.

"So, Becca can be my sister?" Jack asked and Renee smiled. "Yes, sweetheart." She sat Jack on her lap and both of them joined Becca in cuddling up to Hotch.

Hotch closed his eyes and enjoyed for a while, to have his loved ones so close at hand.

"Do you know about the movie night at Rossi´s? " he asked, when the kiddies were playing in their room. He put his hands around Renee´s waist and pulled her close.

" Jess called me earlier. The kids and I have prepared a vegetarian pizza, it just has to be put into the oven. So Jess has not so much work, after all, she´s carrying a lot of responsibility."

Renee smiled, " Jess is really very happy with David. I like them very much." She was stroking some hair from Hotch´s forehead. "And I 've missed you, Aaron."

Hotch 's hands wandered over Renee's back, "much?"
"You can ask," she grinned and put her arms around his neck. "Very, very much." she said and kissed Hotch demanding. Hotch kissed her back just as passionately . Renee leaned back against the refrigerator, Hotch 's body was pressed against hers. Renee felt Hotch 's arousal, pressed against her hip.

"You feel so good, Renee. " Hotch whispered breathlessly, his hands had found their way under her shirt. Renee gasped out loud when Hotch stroked her bare skin and pulled her shirt up.

" I want you , Renee," Hotch 's heart raced and the space in his pants was getting tighter.

"I think, they are doing some love-making," Becca whispered, who was now sitting on the couch with Jack. Playing was getting boring and so they decided to look after their parents. "And there´s no candles and no music," Jack said and giggled.

Renee and Hotch found back to reality, a bit slowly, but Jack and Becca 's chuckle was not to be missed. Hotch caressed Renee´s hair.

"Everything ok? " he asked softly. Renee nodded. She was trembling and had weak knees, she wanted Hotch exactly as he wanted her. But certainly not before the children and not as a quickie in a standing position.

"We can take our time tonight, Renee," Hotch kissed her again.

" And who did allow you little dwarfs, to watch us?" Hotch joined Jack and Becca on the couch.

"It´s not a bad thing, but Renee and I are grown up´s and maybe we´ll do things, you children might not quite understand. You know? But we have also been a bit silly, we´re supposed to do this in our bedroom, when we are alone. But Renee and I didn´t think about this, we just wanted to kiss each other. You understand this?"

Jack and Rebecca nodded, " because you are soooo much in love? "

Hotch pulled Becca´s pigtail, playfully.

"that's exactly why, sweet pie," he said earnestly.

A/N Next chapter Derek realizes, Mambo isn´t that easy and there will be a little dancing contest.
