SONG PROMPT #57 - JJ/HOTCH

"Red Cortina" - The Saw Doctors

"Surpise, Mom!"

JJ blinked as she walked into the front door of her house to find her three favorite guys standing in the hallway, holding a birthday banner. She broke into a wide grin seeing their happy faces. Jack and Henry raced to her, flinging their arms around her waist and legs. As Hotch walked over to her, she could see the mischief in his eyes.

"What's going on?" she asked him. His smile grew larger as he kissed her.

"We have a surprise for you, Mama!" Henry exclaimed.

"But you have to keep your eyes closed," Jack added. JJ took a deep breath before complying. She felt Jack grab one hand, while Henry grabbed the other. Hotch stood behind her, grabbing her shoulders. He guided her as the boys pulled on her.

Jack and Henry giggled as she nearly tripped up the stairs. She let go of their hands to hold onto the banister. They each grabbed her hands as soon as she reached the top. As they moved down the hallway, JJ could practically feel them vibrating with excitement.

"Okay," Jack ordered, making her stop. "You have to stand right here."

"Now, open your eyes," Hotch whispered in her ear.

JJ gasped as her eyes opened. When she left for work that morning, it had been a plain white room with a single bed, night stand, and lamp. Now, three of the walls were pale yellow. The fourth wall had a bright orange sun, loads of green grass, large, vibrant flowers, and several butterflies. The furniture was gone, replaced by a white crib, dresser, changing table, and dresser.

"What do you think, Mom?" Jack asked her, eagerly.

"Yeah, Mama, what do you think?" Henry repeated.

JJ wiped a few tears that fell from her eyes. She fell against Hotch as he wrapped his arms around her waist, caressing her swollen stomach. "It's amazing. Molly is going to love her room. You guys did a great job."

"Yay!" Jack and Henry cheered, dancing around the room.

"Do you really like it?" Hotch asked her.

JJ nodded. "I love it. It's perfect. You're perfect. Our life is perfect."

Hotch chuckled as he kissed her neck. "Just remember that in three months when you're up all night with a colicky baby."

SONG PROMPT #58 - JJ/HOTCH

"Someone's Watching Over Me" - Hilary Duff

Six months ago, she never would have believed that she would be in this moment.

She hadn't been devastated when Will left, not for herself. It was a long time coming. She was heartbroken for her son, who spent three weeks crying for his daddy. She never thought he would leave his son leading her to question how much she knew him and then how much she really knew anyone if this man could shock her that much.

That threw her for a loop. It wasn't long before she was questioning everything. If Will could hide his true character, who's to say anyone couldn't. She stopped participating in team outings, barely speaking to them outside of work. It all came to a head in the middle of a case when she and Morgan got into a heated argument. JJ walked away from them, away from the police station, away from the case. She booked a commercial flight home; left her resignation on Hotch's desk.

He showed up at her place at two in the morning, holding the resignation in his hand. Where she thought she would find disgust and anger, she found compassion and understanding. He invited himself in, parking himself on her couch, and refusing to leave until she told him everything. JJ finally broke down at 5am and told him all of her fears, for the team, for Henry, for herself. He vowed to do everything he could to bring back her confidence.

Over the next few months, they developed a routine. Hotch would pick them up in the morning. He quizzed her on old profiles while they dropped Jack off at school and Henry at Jessica's. They spent lunch together, talking about anything but work.

Hotch quizzed her as they picked Jack and Henry up from Jessica's before heading to JJ's. They switched off making dinner while the other did homework with Jack and entertained Henry. Dinner focused on the boys. Afterward, they settled the boys down for a movie and reviewed JJ's cases until it was bedtime when Hotch and Jack went home.

Saturdays were spent doing whatever adventure the boys came up with to do, whether it was the zoo, a museum, a movie, or the park. Sundays were spent just the four of them at Hotch's house, usually curled up together on the couch, watching movies. JJ couldn't remember a time when she felt happier... until that fateful Wednesday.

She was helping Jack with an art project at the dining room table while Henry sat on Hotch's lap, reading a book. She hadn't noticed the grin the was plastered on her face until Hotch commented on it. Then, he asked her if she wanted to make the scene permanent. She hesitated only briefly before nodding, her subtle movement not showing the overwhelming joy she felt. She showed him that later on that night.

Her last thought as she drifted off to sleep secure in Hotch's arms was what a difference six months could make.

SONG PROMPT #59 - JJ/HOTCH

"Connected" - New Found Glory

Hotch sighed as he glanced at his watch. It was nearly midnight. He had wanted to be home hours ago, but an emergency seven o'clock meeting dumped a slew of paperwork in his lap that needed to be done before 8am. He sighed again just a few minutes later when he signed the last document. Hotch laid his head against the back of his chair, rubbing his hands over his face, willing his body to get up and go home.

A noise from the doorway cause him to jumped. He looked over to his wife of just over a year standing there in a long black coat, her hair in gentle waves around her shoulders. She smiled at his reaction.

"What are you doing here?" Hotch asked.

JJ shrugged before walking inside and closing the door. "I missed you. My feet were cold."

"You're feet are always cold," he retorted, watching as she moved across the room to sit on his lap. She looped her arms around his neck as his hands found her waist.

"Where are the boys?"

"Hanging with Auntie Penelope for the night. She's been a bit lonely since the break-up."

Hotch slowly moved his hands up her coat to unbutton it. "Oh, really? Because I heard that she had been spending all of her time with Morgan lately and had barely mentioned Lynch at all."

"Aaron Hotchner," she moaned, leaning forward to kiss across his jaw. "You are such a gossip."

"Good thing, too, or I never would have known about your little crush on me." He paused when he got his hands under her coat, feeling satin. "What are you wearing?"

"My Valentine's Day gift." She laughed as his mouth flew open and his eyes zeroed in on her chest. "I thought you might need an incentive to forget this paperwork and come home."

Hotch pulled her coat off her shoulders. "The only incentive I need to come home is you. This, however, is incentive to take you here, right now, and hard."

"And what makes you think I'm that kind of girl?" she asked, removing his tie and working on his buttons.

Hotch swept her into his arms as he stood, laying her out on the couch. He claimed her mouth, kissing her until she could scarcely breath. He moved away so he could see her face, her cheeks were flushed and her lips were swollen.

"Only for me," he muttered in regards to her previous question before taking her once again.
