SONG PROMPT #98 – JJ/HOTCH

"How Far We've Come" – Matchbox20

"You can't be serious."

"Oh, but I am," JJ told him. "Come on, Hotch. You have to do this."

He sighed. "Look, I've done everything else that you've asked the last few month. I did the bar crawl with the college students. I did the polar bear swim. I went on that crazy road trip where we somehow ended up in Chicago. I even ate from that sketchy vendor in New York. I know you're trying to get me to loosen up, but this is too much."

JJ smiled, placing hand on his chest. She rose on her feet to whisper in his ear. Hotch froze. He pulled back enough to look into her eyes, judging her seriousness. He gave her a single nod before jogging away.

"How did you get him to participate?" the girl next to her asked as they watched the plethora of naked men streaking by in the annual "Van Wilder Race," which was sponsored by one of the fraternities at the nearby college.

"It was simple, really," she replied with a grin. "I just told him that after this we get to do his list."

The girl frowned. "What's on his list?"

"Me."

SONG PROMPT #99 – JJ/HOTCH

"The Other Side Of The World" - KT Tunstall

He missed her more everyday. Since the day he left, walking out the door in a firestorm of tears, guilt had done nothing but eat away at him. He couldn't concentrate on work, distracted to the point of being called out on it by both Rossi and Morgan. He barely slept; rarely ate. When they returned after the case, he bypassed the office to head straight to their home to beg forgiveness.

Only to find she wasn't there.

"Oh, honey," JJ soothed, stroking Hotch's hair as he laid his head on her lap. "She's four. She was mad that you you couldn't take her to the park like she wanted you to. She got over it the next day."

"Then why wouldn't she talk to me on the phone? Why wasn't she here when I got back?" Hotch lamented.

JJ bit her lip to stop from laughing. "Jack told her that she could get you to get her a present if she pretended to ignore you while you were away and Brittany invited her over to swim."

Hotch sighed. "So, I lost out to presents and a pool."

"Yes, but at least it's not to boys and a car." She lost the battle and burst out laughing when he groaned. She ran her hand over his chest. "Come upstairs with me. The kids won't be home for a few hours and I most definitely have missed you."

She playfully dumped him off the couch and ran up the stairs, leaving a trail of clothing behind her. Hotch hesitated only briefly before running after her. She had made his world bright once more.

SONG PROMPT #100 – JJ/HOTCH

"Perfect" - Simple Plan

"He was a bastard," Hotch said, matter of factly as he stared down at the headstone of his biological father. It read "Nicholas Stephenson: Loving Husband and Father." Hotch frowned. "And that was probably the biggest lie of his life; he was about as far from loving as you can get."

JJ slipped her hand into his and squeezed. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Hotch shook his head, slightly. "There's not much to tell. He drank everyday, beat my mother and I everyday. She didn't think she had anyone to turn to because he was a respected member of the community. Her parents adored him. The day he died was the happiest day of our lives."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry you had to go through that," she told him. "A child should only feel love, not pain, from their parents."

"I almost never think about him, you know," Hotch continued. "When I think about my father, it's only Ryan Hotchner that I think about. But, every once in awhile, when we have a certain case, Nicholas pops into my head once again."

JJ turned and wrapped her arms around him, leaning her ear against his chest to listen to his strong heartbeat. "You are a wonderful father. You know that, right? Jack and Henry are extremely lucky to have."

Hotch kissed the top of her head. "I'm the lucky one. Those two little boys bring more joy into my life than I ever thought possible."

"What do you think three would give?" she asked, looking up at him.

"Three?" he repeated.

JJ nodded. "I found out this morning. I mean, I still have confirm with the -"

Hotch picked her up and swung her around, cutting off her words. "This is- this is amazing! Thank you." He kissed her. "Thank you!"

"I didn't do it alone," she chuckled.

"No, but this life that I love so much wouldn't be possible without you. Let's go home and see our boys," Hotch said. He kissed her again after she nodded. Hotch looked over his shoulder at the headstone. His anger seemed to abate as he was overwhelmed with delight, the bad memories of his father replaced by the possibilities of a new child.
