"And that," Hotch thought with a smile, "Was how he, his family, his incredible wife's family, and his BAU family had all ended up sitting here in the Olympic ice arena in Montreal."

"Monsieur and Madam, Sur la glace - Ce qui représente les États-Unis d'Amérique, Paige Hotchner."

"Ladies and Gentlemen - On the ice, representing the United States of America, Paige Hotchner."

As applause filled the arena and everyone sitting around him called out 'Go Paige', Aaron Hotchner's eyes filled with tears.

FINI!


Happy Superbowl Sunday Everyone!
