This chapter is slightly more T-rated at the end. I would also say there's about 2 or 3 more chapters to go for those of you still reading. Thank you for all of your reviews and follows!

Disclaimed!

It wasn't until almost three months later that JJ was able to join Garcia and Prentiss on a girl's night dinner.

"So Jayje how do you feel about going back to work soon?" Prentiss asked.

"Believe it or not, as much as I love being a mom, I'm actually itching to go back," JJ answered.

"I bet that's an itch Hotch can scratch," Garcia snickered. JJ rolled her eyes, not even twenty minutes into dinner and they were already starting.

"How are things between you two?" Prentiss asked.

"Great!" JJ replied, half lying. Hotch was a great co-parent, but otherwise things were a little awkward between the pair. One minute they would be getting along fine, but it was almost like they were both afraid to cross that line again.

"That bad huh?" Prentiss followed.

"Not bad, just kind of awkward," JJ replied.

"What do you mean?" Garcia asked.

"Nothing," JJ said. She didn't feel like being teased.

"Jayje!" Garcia persisted.

JJ huffed, "well you guys have been away a lot, and I don't know."

"So?" Garcia pushed.

"And so most nights I just sleep in the spare bed in the nursery," JJ answered. "We don't even change in front of each other."

"Jennifer Jareau!" Garcia scolded. "Can you not see that Aaron Hotchner returns your feelings for him?"

"Well he's not exactly being obvious," JJ grumbled.

"This is Hotch were talking about," Prentiss said. "Maybe you just have to be a little more obvious."

"I don't want to ruin what we have by making a move," JJ countered.

"You need to seduce him!" Garcia exclaimed, causing several patrons to turn and stare.

"Garcia!" JJ whisper scolded.

"It's perfect," Garcia responded. "You two start having sex again, you can go back to your routine that made you basically a couple."

"I don't know Pen," JJ said, though she did find the idea somewhat interesting.

"I think it will work," Prentiss said. "And that way you have all the control."

"It's settled!" Garcia exclaimed. "We'll all go out shopping tomorrow for something sexy JJ can wear."

"No no," JJ said.

"Well how do you expect to seduce him if you don't?" Garcia whined.

"The same way I did the first time," JJ responded, causing Prentiss to snort.

"Please JJ," Garcia begged.

"No," JJ stated firmly. "Now change of subject."

Hotch was just waking up from his nap on the jet when a smirking Rossi slid into the seat across from him. "Hello Aaron," Dave said with a smile.

Hotch looked at his friend warily, "hi Dave."

"How are you feeling? A little tired?" Rossi asked, causing Hotch to gain more suspicion. Rossi had overheard Prentiss talking to Garcia about JJ's plans for the night, and of course, Rossi wanted to help his friends out.

"No," Hotch answered slowly. "I just took a nap. I have to finish filing out the paperwork for this case."

"I'll do it for you," Rossi offered.

"Why?" Hotch asked.

"Because I hate to see my friend overworked," Rossi answered, it was the truth. "It's been a few days since you've been home I'm sure you want to see Jack and Abby...and JJ." The team had been away in Seattle for the past four days.

Hotch nodded, "It's only a few files."

"It will be no problem," Rossi smiled as Hotch handed him the files.

Hotch hesitantly interrupted the silence that fell over the pair. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course," Rossi replied, all kidding aside he wanted to be there for his friend.

"I want to do something nice for JJ," Hotch started. "Well I want to do something nice with her. I want-"

"To go on a date with her," Rossi finished.

"Erm yes," Hotch admitted. "Would that be too...I don't know."

"Why are you acting so unsure?" Rossi asked. The man was acting like he was about to ask the head cheerleader to prom.

"I don't want her to say no," Hotch replied. "It could be awkward if she does."

The older man could only stare at his friend with a dumbfounded expression. "You honestly think JJ wouldn't be interested? What in your thick head gave you that idea? Do you not profile people for a living?"

"She said she didn't want anything serious," Hotch said.

"That was over a year ago!" Rossi nearly yelled. "You know JJ. She protects herself from getting hurt. You've proven yourself now."

Hotch still looked unsure. "So you think I should just ask her to dinner?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, but I think I'll first look for a signal or something that she's interested."

Rossi smirked to himself as he remembered the conversation he overheard earlier. "Something tells me you'll find some sort of signal."

"Garcia you have got to be kidding me!" JJ exclaimed as she looked herself over in the full length mirror. She was currently in the master bedroom with Garcia and the new nanny Kelsey. Garcia had shown up 15 minted prior, shoving a Victoria's Secret bag in JJ's hand and practically forcing her to change.

"Jayje your not even wearing the stockings," Garcia whined.

"Do you see this?" JJ turned to the brunette nanny in her mid-30s. She gestured to the black lace bra with matching panties and corset.

"I think it looks hot," Garcia answered, while Kelsey giggled awkwardly.

"This is a bad idea," JJ said quickly. Just then she heard to front door open and slam shut. "He's home," JJ panicked.

"Oh my god," Garcia squealed. Her and Kelsey quickly ran down the hall to Kelsey's suit leaving JJ in the middle of the room as she heard Hotch move up the steps.

Panicked, JJ quickly locked herself in the master bathroom just in time to hear Hotch drop his bag on the floor before leaving the room again. JJ looked around for a robe or towel to cover herself with, but of course there was nothing around.

She silently opened the bathroom door and crept out into their bedroom. JJ began digging through her bureau drawers when she heard a soft throat clearing behind her. JJ spun around to see Hotch standing in the doorway, eyes wide, staring directly at her.

"I thought you went downstairs," was the only thing she could say.

"I was uh going to see Abby but she was um sleeping," Hotch barely spit out, he couldn't help but stare at her.

JJ took a few calming breaths, and made a mental note to kill Garcia if this didn't work. "Well do you like my new outfit?" She asked seductivly.

Hotch only nodded, "Yeah it's nice."

"Only nice?" She asked, her confidence gained as she saw the reaction he was having. JJ began slowly making her way over to wear he stood.

"Jayje," he breathed before she pinned him against the wall.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing," he replied. He was enjoying this more than he should, but he defiantly saw it as a sign she was interested. "There's just something I have to ask you."

"Can it wait?" She pouted as she began to stroke the bulge in his pants.

"No," he chocked out, he didn't want her to stop.

As if reading his mind JJ's hands quickened their pace. "So ask," she ordered.

"I want to take you out to dinner Saturday night," Hotch said. "If that's okay?" JJ responded by pulling off his suit jacket.

She smiled before pulling him into a heated kiss. "Yes." With that, Hotch grinned and pulled her down onto the bed with him.
