Chapter 26: Interruption

June 18th 2006

Hotch sat in his office, finishing the last files for the evening. It had been a rough couple of weeks. One case had taken over two and half weeks of their lives. It didn't help that the victims were all blondes around JJ's age which caused him to worry about her every single second. But JJ kept Hotch at a distance during the case. They promised each other to never spent time together while they were away on cases. If the team ever found out they were going to be in big trouble. There was a possibility that they both could lose their jobs. He hadn't seen JJ in a couple of hours and he knew the rest of the team went home. He decided to give them some free time before another case was going to need their attention.

Hotch could no longer resist his urges to see the beautiful blonde so he rose from the chair and left his office without a doubt. He quietly made his way through the bullpen and into the hallway where JJ's office was around the corner. He noticed that the door was open. He peaked around the door to see JJ with her head in a case file. He knew that look. Her muscles were tense which meant she was looking over a horrifying case. He hated to see that face on her but it was what came with their jobs. There was no way he could ever change that.

''Hi.'' he greeted in a whisper, trying not to scare her but he realized his attempts didn't work when she almost jumped from her chair.

''Hotch!'' she called out. ''You scared the hell out of me.''

''I can see that.'' he noticed. ''What are you still doing here? I told everyone to go home.''

''I know.'' she said as she met his gaze. He looked at her with lust and desire and it caused a shiver to go through her body. ''You're still here.''

''Only because you are.'' he hinted. ''I missed you, JJ.''

JJ rose from her chair to meet him halfway. As always her heart was racing because she was so close to him. ''I know you did.'' she said, knowing he kept a close eye on her during the case. ''But I can take care of myself. You shouldn't worry about me like you did for the past couple of weeks.''

''Do you expect me to do differently?''

She shook her head. ''No, of course not. But I can take care of myself, Aaron.'' she tried to explain as the expression on his face was changing. ''What?'' she asked.

''You called me Aaron.'' he pointed out.

''Oh, I am sorry.'' she apologized immediately. ''I didn't meant to do that.'' she added as a smile appeared on his face.

''Don't be sorry, JJ.'' Hotch said immediately to assure her. ''It's just the first time that you called me Aaron and it sounds so good when I hear you say my name like that. I love it.''

''You do?''

Hotch put his hands on her waist and pulled her closer. His hands were roaming around her body as he claimed her lips for a fiery kiss. As always their lips molded together in perfection. They were made for one another and that feeling was reignited every time they kissed. ''This seems familiar.'' he whispered against her neck.

JJ took a step backwards. ''It is. We can't do this here. Again!'' she stated but Hotch pulled her against him once more. She got lost in the sensation and forgot her own arguments before she even had the chance to put them into words.

''I missed you so much.'' he panted, unbuttoning JJ's blouse and throwing it to the floor.

JJ felt Hotch push her against the wall. He covered her body with his own and pressed into her. She knew what was about to happen and she wasn't going to stop it. She never could since the first night they spent together. But as the adrenaline was pumping through her veins she still thought about his married status and the fact that he had a family. Sometimes she wondered if they ever had a real shot at a relationship and in those moments she tried to distance herself from him but it never lasted. She told herself she didn't want to be alone. That it was better to be with him now than to waste the precious moments they could still share together.

The movement of JJ's skirt falling to her ankles pulled her from the thoughts that were racing through her mind. She didn't want to have the same discussion with Hotch but she needed to know what he wanted and what was going to happen after the baby was born.

Hotch felt JJ freeze under his touch so he broke away from the kiss and took a step back. He realized she wasn't herself. ''What is it, JJ?'' he asked with worry. ''Did I do something wrong?''

''Oh, no. Never.'' she reassured as she zipped up her skirt and moved to the other side of her office to get her blouse. She quickly put it on and finally turned to him. ''I am just wondering when this is going to stop.''

''What do you mean?''

''Hotch,'' she started as she still needed to find the words before she spoke. ''I don't know how much farther I am willing to go with this.''

He got the clue when he saw the expressed sadness on her face. He hated it when she doubted their relationship. ''You want to end this?''

''No.'' she admitted. ''But I hate being this person. The woman who's breaking up a marriage.'' JJ explained.

''I know.''

''I care about you, Hotch.'' she lied. She didn't care about him. She loved him. She had fallen for her married boss. ''But I think we should really consider this before we let anything else happen because you need to think about Haley and your unborn child.''

''I don't know what to say, JJ.''

She saw that Hotch was at a loss for words. ''Please, say something.'' she begged.

And at that exact moment his phone went off. He pulled it from his pocket with annoyance and he read the 911 text from Haley. His mouth fell open and he turned to the door and was ready to walk out until JJ stopped him.

''Where are you going?''

He turned to her. ''Haley is in labor.'' he answered. ''I have to go now.''

''Yeah, of course.''

Hotch put a gentle kiss on her head. ''We'll talk about this later.'' he promised before leaving her office.

As he walked to the elevator he realized for the very first time how badly he screwed up. He could see that his relationship with JJ was taking its toll on her. She had been doubting their actions for a very long time but today her doubts seemed to be worse than ever. It was a feeling he didn't want to have and he was actually considering to let her go. He never thought about it before but it seemed like the right thing for them both. But he knew he couldn't once he held her in his arms again.
