A/N and here we go again. Thanks to Guest, have fun, everyone
"You think we can wake them up? " Becca asked, looking questioningly at Jack. Jack looked at Renee and his father, who had fallen asleep happily, nestled together. Jack shrugged, "they look so happy and nice, Becca."
"But I 'm hungry and I have to use the bathroom, Jack."
Jack chuckled, " I think, Mum doesn´t wear something. " He pointed to Renee's bikini top, which lay in the sand.
Renee heard the chatter, moved slowly and blinked. "Hey you two, you're already awake?"
Becca nodded, "yes, Mum. " Becca smiled, it felt so good to call Renee Mum. She only had her Granny and so much Becca also loved her, she always longed so much for a Mum. And now she got one and even a brother and a new dad. Becca sniffed and began to cry.
"Oh sweetie, don´t ," Renee said. Hotch held the towel when Renee quickly pulled Hotch´s shirt over. She was glad, Hotch and her had at least put the bikini bottom and shorts on, before they drifted in the realm of dreams.
"A lot of things, you have to deal with, right sweetheart?" Renee hugged the little girl and went with her into the house.
"Why´s Becca weeping now?" Jack wanted to know from his father and snuggled up to him. "Is Becca sad?"
Hotch shook his head, "sure not, Jack. I guess, she only just realized, she has a family now and she doesn´t need to be afraid to be put to strangers, when something´s happening to Granny Abby."
Jack nodded. "And we have a mum. "
Renee sat down with Becca on the couch, letting the little one weep. Becca clung to Renee as she never wanted to let go. Renee understood Becca very well, she rocked her gently back and forth. "Feeling better now, angel? " she asked after a while and Becca nodded. "I was so afraid, Mum. "
"I know, my dear. But I 'm here now and everything is back in order. We love you so much, Becca. " Renee kissed the girl violently and Becca had to laugh.
"Well, you see. Ah ... and Hotch Dad and Jack are here, too. " Renee had heard the door.
"I thought, it´s time to look after my girls," Hotch smiled fondly at Renee and Becca. "Is everything ok?"
"Already," Becca murmured softly, stretching out her arms out to Hotch.
"Hug me, will you, Hotch Dad? "
Hotch chuckled, "As if you need to ask me, sweetie."
"Can you carry me around a bit? " Becca smacked a big kiss on Hotch´s cheek.
"A little walk around the house, sparrow?"
Becca nodded, "Oh yes, please."
Jack was snuggling up to Renee, meanwhile. Renee was still sitting on the couch, holding Jack close.
"You know, I was scared, too." Jack let Renee know.
"Of what then, Jack?"
"Of never having a Mum again, after Callie was gone. Daddy has been so sad and I me, too."
Renee kissed Jack´s forhead. "You don´t have to be sad anymore, Jack. I´m not going anywhere, promise."
oOo
"You´re with the FBI? " Mona asked suspiciously and Derek nodded. He pulled his badge out of his pocket.
"He really is trustworthy, Mona." Jess said, supporting Derek. "But, nevertheless, I would like to hear why Derek is supposed to be mutated into a marriage swindler." Jess laughed and Mona relaxed a little. Her friendly customer seemed to know Derek well and apparently she was convinced of his innocence.
"All right, Derek Morgan, FBI. Then tell me, but I do hope your story is good. "
Derek sighed, " I did lie to you, Mona. One single time. Because I have no idea of Mambo, a colleague gave me a crash course yesterday."
"JJ," guessed Jess.
"Yep. And Strauss has caught us."
Jess snorted, "you're kidding? "
"I wish, I was. She expects me to come up with a training schedule, because dancing keeps you fit and that´s what all our Agents need, plus it 's fun."
"Sucks to be you", Jess bursted with laughter, she visualized how Strauss did the Mambo.
"Maybe we can be serious, again, please? Ok, it all started a few weeks ago. Me, Hotch and the kids had been at the zoo. Hotch has lost his wife a year ago and he looked so damn lonely to me and then I came up with the idea of the ad. I thought, I might find something suitable for him and then suddenly, Renee appeared and somehow everything got so complicated ... "
"Renee is the friend, who accompanied me the first time." Jess said and Mona nodded, she remembered the pretty brown-haired.
"And Derek is right, Aaron was lonely, since Callie died."
"Callie, beloved by Aaron and Jack," Mona said flatly, she knew the two of them, she sold Callie her wedding dress. She couldn´t stop thinking of this sad couple for a long time. Mona had to blow her nose.
Jess nodded, "the wedding dress was from you, Mona. "
"And your friend has no idea of this ad?" Mona asked.
Derek shook his head, "not the foggiest. And I do expect, it stays that way." Derek threw Jess a serious look. "Rossi said, Hotch would have me quartered."
Jess chuckled, " if not tarred and feathered, Derek. But you meant well, I have to admit this. But there has to be some punishment, don´t you think, Mona? "
Mona grinned, apparently Derek wasn´t a bad guy, so her first impression didn´t deceive her. But Jess was right. " I think so, too. What do you have in mind, Miss Brooks?"
"Well, I guess, all of us should have some fun. Consider yourself to be officially invited to my bachelorette party, Mona. "
Derek was expecting the worst... but no, Jess wasn´t having such ideas. Jess was pregnant , solid and ... well...she was Jess.
Derek almost fainted when Jess, laughing loudly and somehow dirty, explained what she expected him to do.

"So, after you've now spent an almost indecent amount of money, what do we do now? " Spencer asked his sweetheart.
Ken laughed, "Good question, love. Spending money always makes me hungry, let's go and grab something to eat?"
Spencer looked at his watch, it was a little past noon. " I am starving," Spencer admitted. "And we still don´t have a wedding gift for Jess and Dave."
"I thought you took care of that, a long time ago, husband," Ken teased his wedded man.
"Sushi? " Ken stopped in front of a Japanese restaurant.
Spencer shivered in horror, " You ever saw me eating cold, raw fish? "
"Not really. " Ken replied.
"And you never will," Spencer said firmly, pushing Ken into a tapas bar across the street.
Spencer leaned back in his chair. " Now tell me again that raw fish is better than this. " He said an hour later, after tortilla, meat skewers in Marsala, pickled vegetables and some more. Ken took another sip of the strong red wine.
"Ok, I´m beat. This was delicious. And Sushi cannot keep up. "
"Like I said. But we still have the Rossi / Brooks problem. What do you give to someone who actually has everything? "
Ken frowned, damn good question. " Okay, how about this? They get a weekend in NY, in my apartment and we will organize a program around it? Helicopter tour, theater tickets, a nice meal? "
"Helicopter ride? " Spencer repeated, holding his hands at some distance in front of his abdomen.
Ken briefly startled, " Oh my. I nearly forgot. Little Rossi. Without Heli- Flight then, what do you mean? "
Spencer chuckled, " much better than the champagne cooler, I wanted to buy."
" My practical husband," Ken smiled and kissed Spencer lovingly. " Let´s get back home, I'd like to come back to this mornings topic."
Spence gave himself clueless, "no idea what you mean. "
Ken looked around quickly, they were unobserved. He stroked Spencer´s crotch. "Still no idea? "
"Not the slightest," Spencer lied and tried to think of something innocent, like... Ken's abs or his um, ...
"Can we get the bill, please, " Spencer called determined.
oOo
"So you called me a Sex Addict? " Spencer asked breathlessly and busied himself with Ken's pants. The way home had somehow been endless, they barely managed to close the door.
"You´re giving me the same hell here, Kenneth Reid Baker."
Spencer kissed Ken demanding and pressed him against the wall, his hand went into Kenneth 's Slip and covered Ken's incipient erection. Ken gasped and moaned, Spencer knew exactly how he was able to drive him insane. Somehow they stumbled into the bedroom, her clothes ended up in a track on the floor. Ken pushed Reid on the bed and caressed his chest, kissed his neck and dealt extensively with Spencer's nipples. "Ken ... I 'm about to cum, Ken," Reid whispered and gasped loudly, his husband had slipped down and he was closing his lips around him. At the same moment, Spencer was lost.
oOo
Renee found Hotch on the porch, sitting on the canopy swing. He had his camera in his hand. "Hey," Renee said, handing him a glass of iced tea.
"The pic´s you took this day? " She asked and sat down next to him.
"Yes, you wanna take a look? "
" What's one hell of a question, sure I do. I wanna know, if I 'm photogenic," Renee laughed heartily.
"You're a beautiful young woman Renee. You sure, it´s an old geezer like me, you want?"
"Old Geezer? Come on, Hotch. Old geezers don´t make love on the beach, like you did, so stop with the nonsense. I love you, You hear me? " Renee looked seriously at Hotch. "You´re the love of my life, Aaron, I want to grow old and gray with you and I wanna sit with you on this porch, watching our grandchildren play. Period. "
"Period? "
Renee nodded, "Period. And now let me see. " She snuggled up to Hotch and he put his arm lovingly around her.
"That's nice, Aaron," The picture showed Renee and the kids building sand castles while they beamed at the camera.
" I love this one," Hotch smiled, it was showing Renee, she just came out of the water and looked stunning, Hotch thought.
"I´m not that pretty, Aaron," Renee said and blushed slightly. "And actually, I 'm not your type. I mean, Haley and Callie were delicate blondes, I'm a lush dark-haired. "
"Look at me, Renee," Hotch asked and looked her in the eye, "I don´t give a damn about that, Froglet. I wouldn´t care, if you´re seven feet tall, or had blue hair. I love you, Renee. The way you are."
The words were out before Hotch knew it. But it was exactly like that. He loved Renee.
"I love you, Renee," Hotch said again to show her, he meant it. Renee's eyes were moist, he said it. Twice. Renee felt like walking on clouds.
"But you don´t cry now, my angel, right?" Hotch smiled and pulled Renee a little closer to him. He could hardly believe, that he was happy again.
When he was here last time, it didn´t look like that. It was a few days after Callie 's death. He had entrenched himself in the beach house, talking to no one, hardly ate anything, his only friends were Jack and Johnnie.
Hotch remembered, having his gun in his hand. Several times. The only things that kept him from using, were his son Jack and the promise he had made to Callie.
Do not despair and find a new love.
For Hotch this seemed to be impossible at that time. His love was laying in a coffin, wearing her wedding dress.
Then Sean had appeared out of nowhere. And he punched him. The next thing Hotch remembered was that Sean had put him under a cold shower, giving him a major bollocking. Hotch didn´t remember Sean´s exact words, he only remembered, weeping in his brother´s arms, like a little boy.
"Can we cuddle, too? "
Jack's question brought Hotch out of the gloomy thoughts.
"Of course , come here, you two. " Hotch and Renee joined the children in their arms.
oOo
Ken and Spencer were knotted together in Spencer's bed. Ken grunted contentedly, caressing his husbands chest.
"Now we just need a suitable place to stay. Your apartment is cuddly, Spence, but in the long run it´s too small. "
" Hm, I admit it. Reluctantly, but you're right." Spencer agreed, for one person his 60 square meters were manageable, in contrast to Ken's apartment in NY, which was easily twice as large. Spencer's rough estimate amounted to 145.67 sqm. Exclusive rooftop.
"House or apartment? " Spencer wanted to know.
"House, of course, with a garden to play in. "
"A garden to play in," Spencer repeated dreamily, "for our child. You think, Kikki has really thought about it? I mean, if you look at the bare facts, she would give up her child. Not to strangers, Ken, but still. Can we really ask her, to do that? "
Ken tightened his embrace. " I do not know Spence. I 've already thought about it. Kikki wouldn´t offer that, if she wasn´t sure. But at the moment this is a purely hypothetical discussion, Spence. Though I think, it might be wonderful, if he or she would have the genes of both of us. I'm not sure if we can assume Kikki 's offer. 'She is my whole family, along with you, of course. I don´t want her to get hurt, Spencer. "
"You never hurt her, Ken. What about your parents? Don´t you think it would be about time you speak with them?"
Kenneth sat up abruptly, "for my parents I´m dead, Spencer. And I don´t wanna talk about it, you´ll respect that?" Ken looked at his husband seriously and Spencer kissed him lovingly.
"I don´t wanna push you into something, Ken. I want you to be happy. If it makes you happy, not to talk about your parents, then I accept that. I don´t really understand, but I do respect your wish."
Ken nodded, satisfied. "I really got lucky with you, Spencer Reid Baker." Spencer shook his head, "not at all, I am the one who´s the lucky guy here. And now kiss me, I already have withdrawal symptoms."
