Getting Ava ready to see her dad at work was a lot. It had been the first time since her and Aaron were apart, since he took a few months off for her arrival . You didn’t know who was taking it harder.
Ava had been way more fussy with you. Giving you the Aaron stare that she had perfected by time she was three months. Aside from the fussiness she was fine the moment she heard Aaron’s voice. He was also not doing so good with cases on top of missing Ava and you.
It’s was harder now because he felt he had to fight even harder to solve every case. Knowing that one less person on the street is one less that could hurt his favorite girls. Ava was finally 5 months, not doing much but looking around and giggling.
You had called Gracia to see when they would be done with the case. Finding out it did not end well at all and the team was exhausted. They still had hours of paper work to come back to. So, you decided to surprise your favorite people and favorite guy.
Walking into the bullpen seeing them working hard when Derek noticed you.
“Is that my beautiful and brilliant God-niece ava and her gorgeous mother?” He said coming to take the car seat off your arm, Ava smiling in response to her Godfather.
Soon after that the team gathered around with heart eyes for the small hotchner. Aaron still not out of his office yet to see his daughter was here. By the time she got out of Spencer’s arm she was more fussy than ever. You knew she was probably just hungry, again.
You grabbed her burp towel and walked to Aaron’s office with a soft knock. A faint come in coming from the other side of the door. You walked in to a very focused Aaron he didn’t even noticed you both had walked in.
Ava quickly noticing her father and letting out a small giggle his head snapping toward the door. All his worries fell as he seen the both of you. A huge cheeky smile going over his face as he got up from his desk.
“I’ve missed you both beyond words.” Placing a kiss Ava cheek and one on your lips.
“She’s very very hungry, she keeps staring at me like I’m an unsub.” You smiled sitting on the couch and taking your boob out, Ava latching on easily.
You always felt like it was just the two of you when you breastfed her. It was a special bond honestly and you always got lost in it. Aaron was watching closely as he always did when you fed her.
“Thank you both for coming, I honestly really needed it.” Aaron said getting up to sit next to you on the couch, letting out a sigh of relieve. You smiled at him and placed a kiss on his head.
“You wanna burp her?” Noticing the milk drunk baby under you. Grabbing the burp towel and putting it over his shoulder you handed him ava.
“Hi, my beautiful girl! I’ve missed you.” planting kisses all over her face and then putting her on his shoulder. Living with a profiler meant you picked up a few things. Especially how quiet Aaron was he was usually always rambling about something.
“What’s going on Aar, you’re awfully quiet and you kept the kisses short with Ava”
“Working on your profiling skills I see” he laughed,
“This case just, I don’t know if I should continue this job.”
“Woah, that’s a big decision after one case, are you sure?” It honestly was Aaron had gotten through the worst he had told you half of it. He never wanted to give up on saving the people he could though.
“I … we were being shot at and obviously we are fine but a bullet flew past my head by like an inch. I heard it and I thought I wouldn’t be coming home to you both.” He said all his fears with a tear falling onto Ava’s onesie. The biggest fear after meeting you was never able to grow old with you. Then his Ava came along and the fear grew stronger. Aaron dedicated his life to the bureau and he knew it but he had two other people that he needed to give his life too.
The thought of living life and raising a child without Aaron hunted you a lot. You mostly shoved it down because you didn’t want him to have that same fear. You still found comfort in knowing you both were afraid of his job.
“Aaron, i couldn’t imagine life without but I know how important the BAU is to you. Ava and I will support you through anything.”
That you would, the BAU was his life and you didn’t know how he’d be without out. Taking Ava off his shoulder he asked her.
“You want your dad at home more my pretty girl?” Ava smiling at him as always giving Aaron the confirmation he needed.
The aftermath of Aaron being shot by Foyet from his daughters pov.

Seeing him this way destroyed you completely. It was understandable, he was shot while you slept in the other room. As to why Foyet decided not to touch you was loss on everyone.
You knew about how hard his job was and the challenges he faced. Being unit chief was a hard job but your dad handled everything that life had thrown at him.
He fought hard not to bring his cases home to you. Always keeping the house as serial-killer free as possible. The house was always filled with laughs and movie nights. All you both had was each other.
The older you got the more you realized it was hard for him. He’d come in your room after certain cases and just hold you. It was one particular case where he didn’t want you to leave his side.
Having to spend two entire nights in an FBI building wasn’t ideal but you got to skip school so it was a win.
Aaron was your hero and you hated to see him this way. You were affected by the shooting also, waking up to just a pile of blood on the floor without your dad.
Calling his phone just to hear it ringing in the other room, it was nerve racking to say the least. Your Aunt Emily had to search the house for you. She found you in the closet soaked in sweat and tears.
When they told you he was in the hospital, you didn’t leave his side for a second. By the time he got home things had started to get better. Of course he jumped right back into work but it was expected.
Everything was fine until two nights ago. It had been late and he was on a case. When you weren’t babysitting for JJ or with friends you were home alone.
Your dad hated leaving you there after Foyet but he had cameras out and inside the apartment. It made you and him feel safer knowing that Gracia was constantly checking up on you.
It was around 11 at night when you finally finished binging the latest teen drama you could find. Putting in your headphones, you headed toward the kitchen for a snack. Starting a song and opening your door you walked down the dark hallway.
Seeing that the faint light above the sink was on you knew your dad was home now. What you didn’t know was that your dad did not hear you come down the hall. Well, he heard you, he just didn’t know it was you.
Before you could make it to the kitchen your dad was already standing there with his gun drawn.
Pointed directly at you.
“Daddy?” You said softly headphone now out of your ears with your phone close to your chest looking for some comfort.
He stood there still as a statue with the scariest look you’ve ever seen on his face. The barrel of his gun still aimed at you.
“Dad? It’s me! Y/n!” you yelled attempting to get him to stop.
“It’s your daughter, daddy please stop!” You yelled at him through your tears but he wouldn’t budge. You had never felt real fear until now. Your dad was going to kill you.
You walked back slowly with sobs, as he began to snap out of it. Aaron look down at his hands and then back up at you. Your face crushed him completely, he scared you.
“Y/N I’m ——” He said walking toward you slowly causing you to run into your room and lock the door.
He softly knocked and tried to open the door, “Y/n im so sorry honey, I don’t — I don’t know why please sweets, I’m sorry.” You could hear that he was crying and how hurt he was. You couldn’t do it though because truthfully you were scared.
How could he? Your dad had his gun pointed at you. A gun you know he’s pointed at some of the worst people to exist.
The emotions you were feeling was all over the place. Terror which made you angry, which then turned to sadness.
He’s probably so mad at himself. You know he didn’t mean it. Your dad was your hero he would never point a gun at you, that’s not who he is.
That’s the thing, that wasn’t who he was. He was a man that was shot by a psychopath in his own home. Not to mention said man was still out there somewhere.
You still couldn’t face your dad right now, usually you were good at these type of things. Well your dad was, he was always there to help you with everything.
Mean girls, failing test, period cramps he was there by your side to comfort you. But this time you only had one person you could think of.
Uncle Spence
He knew everything and was there for you whenever you needed a friend. Most of the time he was the one you talked to when you need raw advice.
He was the youngest on the team so he could kind of understand you better.
You dialed him fast and just told him to come over. You just needed someone to help you because it was like you couldn’t breathe.
It had been a moment until you heard a knock on your door again. You jumped and your heart was pounding all over again.
“Y/N, it’s Spencer” the voice was soft and your body calmed down. You unlocked the door opening it to your dad sitting on the floor.
Distraught wasn’t the word. Broken. You swallowed it down and quickly closed the door. Spencer sat on your desk chair as you sat on the bed. By the look on his face you knew your dad already told him what happened.
“He told me what happened” he said softly,
“I’ve never seen him like that Uncle Spence.”
“I know.” He reassured you,
“He was just gone and it was like nothing there. Just black and it scared me.” You were now full blown crying.
“I know, it’s just harder for him dealing with George Foyet. He came into your home and almost murdered your father with you 75 feet away.”
You nodded knowing how scared your dad was in that moment, not knowing if you were alright. He continued,
“I know it’s no excuse but he has ptsd from it but we both know he’ll never admit. I think he’s more upset that he hurt you.”
Tears grew in your eyes again thinking about your dad and how he felt.
“I have to see him” you quickly got up heading to the door with Spencer behind. You opened to see your dad standing outside the door. He still couldn’t leave you without knowing if you were okay.
“Daddy” swinging the door open and running into his arms, he held you tighter than ever. You both were crying
“I’m so so sorry, I don’t know what I was thinking.” He explained, “I don’t know what’s gotten into me,”
You were still hugging him buried into his chest “I’m fine dad I know you didn’t mean it” pulling back to make eye contact with him.
Once Spencer left you and your dad sat on the couch snuggled into each other. It was still a tense feeling with you both but it didn’t matter. You loved your dad and you knew, from your Uncle Spence, what trauma can do to a person.
“If you don’t feel safe here I can arrange for you to stay with Spencer or Jennifer, I don’t want to .. hurt you.”
His voice was the smallest you’ve ever heard it, and it broke you a little. The strongest man you know at his weakest.
“Dad”
“Y/n I almost shot you. I pointed my gun at my baby girl.”
He looked over at with tears falling from his eyes same as you.
“I know dad but you would never hurt me. See I’m fine” showing him that you were perfectly fine cause truthfully you were.
“I know you went through the unimaginable and I want to stay here with you cause you’re my hero.” Smiling up at him as you continued,
“You’re just having a hard time right now and I can’t blame you for that. That’s what you always taught me that people aren’t their bad days. I love you dad. Always.”
Laying back on his shoulder choosing to leave the conversation at that. Hard days, weeks, and months always happened and today was his.
“I love you too sweets, always” he said wiping his tears and placing a soft kiss to your forehead. Better days were coming for the both of you.

A/N: here's chapter six, hope you’re enjoying. im so sorry for posting late, I had so many different ways I wanted to take it and my laptop was broken but im back now :0
Aubrey ran down to the kitchen for a popsicle and water. While her a cup was filing she noticed a post card from California with the address being her moms house.
She turned it over to see her moms hand waiting
Hello Aaron, this is Haley, of course we’ll be able to come out we both really miss the kids! I’m so happy for him I know retirement was coming soon. Calvin snd I will be there next week.
No…no, no, no!
Rossis’ retirement dinner, of course he wants them to come everybody loves Rossi.
She grabbed the water and popsicle, and headed to her room. She sat the popsicle to melt and the water next to her desk, Jack was sound asleep in her bed.
She pulled out her phone and texted Henry,
A: HJ, you up?
H: yeah, you good?
A: can I come over?
H: yeah windows open
Aubrey got dressed in leggings and a hoodie and a pair of house shoes she wore outside. She arrived at Henrys’ house, it was a ranch with a huge backyaard and the tallest ceiling Bre has ever seen. She walked over to Henry window and knocked, he opened it, “pull me you” she said doing grabby hands.
Henry pulled her up swiftly after a few tries and running start up the side of the house.
“You’re dad is probably going to kill you” Henry added after pulling her up,
“You’re mom is gonna kill you! You snuck a girl in.”
“Yeah but it’s you” he laughed, closing the window then looking at her with his bright blue eyes.
Aubrey walked around his room, he had lots over random drawings and stickers on his wall, of course posters of scary movies which they obsess over together.
“You kept the list up there” she said looking above at the only writing that’s on his wall.
“Uh yeah why wouldn’t I?” He asked in an almost serious tone, wondering why she thought he’d delete it.
The first summer after Calvin started abusing Aubrey she spent a lot of time with the Jareaus, it was her safe place. Her dad was constantly working and Jack was always at summer camp for basketball. Henry and Aubrey had grown up together and became best friends by default. Henry noticed the change in Aubrey and encouged her to make a list of things to try to feel better.
It wasn’t much but it was something, he hated to see her hurting even though she never opened up about what was hurting her.
Go swimming/ take bath and pretend it’s a pool
Scream into a pillow
Eat melted popcisles
Spend time with Henry
The list was fresh like he had just wrote it again, Henry came home the night of the dinner to rewrite-it knowing she was going to need it.
“I kept it in case you needed it”
She ran to hug him and he immediately hugged her back he felt light shakes and his shirt began to get wet. He didn’t say anything he just squeezed her tighter letting her know he’s there for her.
Henry was older than Aubrey by a few months, even though they were basically the same age. He just turned 17 and Aubrey isn’t to far behind. With her being the only girl and their parents being FBI agents they made sure to protect her. Even though Aubrey hated being smothered by Jack and Henry.
After slowly pulling away they both looked into each other eyes, it was comfortable, but they were both too shy to make a move. Henry finally broke the stare down, “Are you okay? Do I need to get my mom?” He said walking to his bed to sit down Aubrey plopping down beside him.
“Just got some bad news.” she picked at the sleeve of her hoodie,
“What happened? Are you alright?”
“Yeah, my mom and her stupid boyfriend coming to town for Rossis retirement party.”
“I take it you don’t like him?”
“Trust me it’s more than dislike, I just hate him for my own reasons”
“I’ll be there if you need to escape from him. You can always stay with me.” He looked her up and down and smiled. Aubrey figured you only live once so why not, she went in connecting her lips to his pulling in deeper when Henry didn’t push back. They two disconnected looking each other in the eye and smiling.
“Thanks Henry, you’re really sweet.” She snuggled into his side how she always has since they were young. They both smiled to themselves knowing they just shared their first kiss with each other. They both mistakenly fell asleep completely forgetting that Aubrey had to go back in a few hours.
Hours passed and they were both awoken by your voice, that was coming downstairs. Apparently Hotch had the Garcia tracking her phone and the team out looking for Bre.
“I’m not upset with her but her dad on the other hand.” You said to JJ causing both the women to laugh. This is bad Bre thought to herself while listening from Henry’s room.
“Why did you let me fall asleep?” She hit Henry in the chest as she quietly shut his room door.
“I didn’t think your dad would send out a search party when you’re literally here safe next to me.” he smiled,
“It’s not funny and he doesn’t know that” she said trying to appear serious frantically putting her shoes on. Both Aubrey and Henry creeped down the stairs just as Aaron was walking in.
Henry stepped on a creek causing everyone heads to snap towards them. You all looked at them with relief and amusement seeing the two teenagers.
“I’m so so sorry guys I completely forgot to tell you I was coming over here—-“
“We were worried SICK and you were over here with HENRY in his BED” Aaron said loudly, he was relieved to see her but so upset with her.
“Dad I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you and it’s not like that I swear!” Aubrey begged looking at her dad
“Are you two having sex? Because your father and I taught you to NOT sneak people into the house especially girls.” JJ turned to Henry, causing him to blush, Aubrey picking up on it and smirking.
“What? Ew. No mom I would never, we just talked all night I swear.” Henry pleased with his mother, he was never a troubled boy but he was still a teenager.
“We aren’t doing that and I just needed to talk to him we figured it wouldn’t be a big deal cause I was safe.” Aubrey looked at her dad, you and JJ.
“We just want you to tell us where you are especially if you aren’t coming home till the next day.” you said pulling Aubrey into your side and the girl returning it.
“Go to the car now.” Aaron said in a stern voice giving Henry the look, silently cursing him through his eyes, even though he loved him. “You, room, now.” JJ ordered Henry trying to be serious. “Bye, Henry” she waved sadly, he mouthed text me later causing Bre to smile. When the teens were out of sight you and JJ busted out in laughter.
“They are 100% going to get married on day.” you said teasing Aaron.
“Without a doubt, you know Bre use to call herself Ms.LaMongTang, she could never pronounce it right” Aaron laughed causing the two women to laugh. You said your goodbyes as you and Aaron walked out the door heading to the car.
The threesome arrived back at home getting ready for the rest of their day. Aaron headed upstairs to shower with Aubrey following behind until you stopped her.
“Bre?” You called causing the teenager to turn around,”yeah?” She said sweetly, “Is the reason you left last night because of this?”
You held up the post card from California, and her bottom lip began to tremble. She looked up the stairs to make sure her dad wasn’t in sight before she ran into your arms.
“Please don’t let him near me” she whispered in your ear, quietly crying. You rubbed her back giving her all the comfort you could.
“I think it’s time to tell your dad Aubrey” you encouraged her knowing this was the only way. Aaron had his suspicions of something when you and Aubrey became suspiciously close. He asked you multiple times if something was going on and you just chalked it up to girl problems.
“I’ll be right there with you Bre, but he has to know.”
“I don’t want him to see me … differently”
Your heart broke, “Your father loves you more than anything, he will always see you as his little girl.”
You hated that she was treating herself like thia. Like it was her fault this happened to her. Seeing Aubrey as a victim has been the harder at thing you’ve dealt with. You’ve worked with victims before but when it’s someone you live the pain is different.
“In a few days? I just need time to prepare.” She asked through her sniffles.
“Whenever you’re ready, this is your story” you encouraged her and she nodded with a smile similar to her fathers.
“Thank you so much Y/N” she said hugging you once lord then heading up the stairs. You broke down once the girl disappeared. You had been dealing with this alone since Bre told you. It was a lot and every time you seen her you wished you could take it all away.

A/N: here's chapter five , hope you’re still enjoying. Little more Jack for this chapter and just a few more chapters till its over thank you for reading! I will be posting this and my series that are more than three parts on Wattpad or A03 soon! Don't be afraid to interact more with me!
They arrived at home, everyone sleepily went to their rooms. Aaron and Aubrey shoulder to shoulder and you and Jack trailing behind.
Nothing filled the air but your shuffles on the pavement, everyone lost in their own thoughts.
“You’re not stupid Y/N, I’m sorry” Jack looked up at you and you noticed the bags under his eyes. “I just hate seeing her cry, she never cries” he looked up at you,
“It’s okay Jack, Aubrey’s a sweet girl I completely understand” you smiled stopping him before he could get to the stairs.
“I talked to your sister about…California and I have to know how are you?” you asked and Jack thought about an answer. The truth is he was struggling, badly, he hid it differently. His eating habits were out of wack, he was always tired but couldn’t sleep through the night. Jack just couldn’t burden you with having to deal with around sad case like him.
“I’m doing good, I just want Bre to be okay and my mom.” Jack said sadly, “Goodnight night Y/N/N”
“Wait! Jack don’t feel pressured to tell me but was he abusing you too?”
He hesitated for a moment with anxiety growing in his chest. He looked at you and nodded, “but not how he did Bre.” You nodded allowing him to continue,
“He just verbally and physically did, he was just so mean to me, telling me I’m useless and that mom hates us.”
“Did you tell your mom?” You asked hoping he didn’t have to deal with it on his own.
“No, I couldn’t because she’s just so happy with him and I can take it all so it doesn’t matter and I thought it would keep him away from Bre but it didn’t.” He said almost in a whisper, you had no more words, you didn’t know how to comfort them. You only wanted them to at least know they are safe with you.
“Jack, I’m not letting anything happen to you or your sister again. I promise.” You pulled him into a hug and he squeezed you tightly.
“Please don’t tell my dad, he’ll be so mad at me and Aubs please.” He begged through his tears, you rubbed his back harder wishing to take his pain.
“Hey, he won’t be upset with either of you, you both did nothing wrong.” You pulled him back into the hug, pulled away and cupped his face, “I care so deeply about you little hotchner, and I won’t let anything happen to you or that girl upstairs.” He nodded as you wiped his tears
You both silently walked up the stairs leaving the conversation at that.
Jack walked through the door to his room and disappeared into the dark. He shut the door, and pulled his hoodie off exposing his bruised stomach and a bandage on his back. They were in final stages of healing but were still noticeable. He hopped in a quick shower and changed the bandage.
He laid down in his bed listening to the silence of the house, hearing nothing at all attempting to fill the emptiness he felt. He opened and shut his eyes for 30 minutes straight.
Trying to remember what his uncle Spence told him staying still for 15 minutes straight will help you fall asleep faster. Jack knew he could do it, just 15 minutes, that’s counting to 60 15 times in a row, not long at all. Finally Jack finally fell asleep, after what felt like a few minutes he woke up in a panicked breath. It’s like he was back there all over again he could hear and see it all happening again.
The night it happened
Be a sweet little honeycomb and clean this up, Calvin said slamming the door heading to where Jack had just entered. “The hell you looking at little bitch?” He yelled toward Jack plopping down on the sofa
“Hello to you to fucker” Jack whispered as he headed toward his room shutting the door behind him.
He threw his practice bag on the ground and got some pajamas out to get ready for a shower, walking toward theirconnected Jack & Jill bathroom.
“Aubrey how many times do I have to tell you to keep your bathroom door sh—-“
He froze, he couldn’t even move, his sister, his protector half naked laying in her blood with her knees to her chest, visibly shaking. He knew immediately what had happened but couldn’t even believe it.
“Ja—ck” he ran to her, covering her up, “I’m here Bre, I’m here” she was crying so loud and hard, “I can’t take it anymore, please make it stop” she sobbed louder,
“He did this didn’t he?” She nodded into his chest, “I’m going to fucking kill him.” Before Aubrey could react he was out the room.
“You BITCH” he hit him upside the head with a bottle of tequila causing it to break. Catching Calvin, who was taller than Jack off guard. The man got up and lunged at the boy.
“Now you’re tuff huh?” He wiped out a pocket knife and sliced Jack in the back causing him to scream. After Calvin got a few punches in Jacks anger took over.
He was on top of Calvin beat him to a bloody pulp. “You. Fucking. Rapist. Piece of. Shit.” He didn’t stop until Calvin was unresponsive, on the ground covered in blood. Jack stood up and spit on him walking out the room.
He returned to his sister who was now in a pair of joggers and a hoodie. “We’re going to Uncle Dereks, now.” The teens had already been packed up, he called Derek first telling him they need a ride to the airport in the morning and it would be easier to just sleep there and a Uber immediately after.
When the Uber arrived they both walked past a very drunk and bloody Calvin.
“You can’t run from me Son and neither can you honeycomb.” He smiled with blood stained teeth.
“Let’s go” Jack said opening the door for his sister, wishing the summer would last forever.
When he fully awoke from reliving that night, Jack was soaked in his own sweat and tears, “he—lp..” his breathing was erratic he got up in a panic heading to Aubreys room. He walked into his sisters room which wasn’t anything new for the brother and sister.
“Aubrey? I —ne—Ed help “ he said asked as his breathing picked up. Aubrey stirred until her eyesight cleared and she seen her little brother in need.
“J? Jack just try to breathe, okay? Just mimic me.” she rubbed his back and sad on the floor with his.
“In and out, we’re at dads house, in my room, he’s not here I promise.” Since that day in California, Jacks been having really bad night terrors to the point he can’t breathe, see, or even talk, he never told her what the nightmares were about but she had an idea.
“Just keep breathing and hold my hands.” Bre sat patiently waiting as his breathing evened out,
“Jack?” She asked rubbing his knee, Jack was still and staring at the wall in front of them. With lone tears falling, he nodded his head no signaling he wasn’t ready to talk just yet, “I’ll wait for you.” she said calmly to her baby brother.
Jack stared off with tears falling, Jacks strength through this hadn’t gone unnoticed. Aubrey noticed how much he tried to do for her. Trying to make sure she doesn’t have to do chores or constantly making sure she was okay throughout the day. He wanted to protect his sister from everything.
“All those times I was with him for hours when we were bonding were torture. He called me names, pushed me, pinched me. I should’ve told you about it sooner maybe I could’ve stopped all this from happening”
“No, don’t blame yourself, it’s his fucking fault.” She looked her brother in the eye refusing to let him Blake his self.
“He fucking sliced me with a knife Aubrey, I could’ve killed him, I’m a horrible person.” He cried harder and louder, “No J, you beat him and saved me and you, you’re a hero, my hero” he nodded his head and leaned into his big sister.
“I thought he cared about us.” He broke down into loud cries,
“I know, I did too, he’s good at pretending, I fucking hate him now” she hugged her brother. After he calmed down she guided him to her bed, he climbed in and slowly fell asleep, she pulled her blanket over him and sat his phone on the charger. She took a deep breathe hoping that they would get through this.

As the sun rose Aaron woke up earlier than usual to start his day. He looked over at his Y/N, the love of his life, and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Getting up attempting not to disturb her, he peaked in at Jack, who was knocked out and then at Aubrey who was surprisedly wide awake.
“Morning sweetheart, any breakfast request?” Aubrey looked up “Can you make your eggs with extra cheese?” she begged her father with a smile.
“Of course sweetheart.” He smiled at his daughter admiring her beauty.
“Thanks dad” she smiled looking down and continued typing on her laptop her glasses falling slightly to the tip of her nose.
“Aubs?” He called his daughter sweetly,
“Yeah dad?” She looked up,
“I love you and I’m here for you whenever, wherever.”
“No matter how far, I know dad and I love you too.” She smile genuinely for the first time since she’s been back home. Aaron was slowly getting his baby girl back.
An hour later breakfast was ready Y/N headed down the stairs in her pajamas and shuffled over to wrap her arms around Aaron. She placed a kiss on his neck as she started to walk to the cabinet to get her mug.
"Goodmorning" his raspy voice causing the woman to jump, he wrapped his arms around her and turned her to face hime.
He placed a wet, sloppy kiss on her lips and paused in between to look in her eyes. Aaron went back in for one more kiss pulling on her lip at the last second.
"Whats that for?" Y/N asked with complete butterflies in her stomach, "Because I love you and for being patient with Aubrey and Jack" he walked passed getting the plates ready for the kids.
"I love you too Aaron Hotchner and of course I'm not giving up, I love those kids" she said as she smiled pouring her coffee. Moments later the kids were heading down the stairs Jack coming first and Aubrey following behind.
Aubrey had on a blood red Nightmare On Elm Street sweatshirt and a pair of white biker shorts. Of course Jack had on a pair of Nike shorts with a black Nike top. The family sat down and began to eat their breakfast, the room was calm and quiet everyone enjoying their breakfast.
“I’m excited to see everyone again, it’s been a while.” Jack said stuffing a waffle, sausage, eggs, and grits in his mouth at once.
“J that’s gross dude.” Aubrey said making a disgusting face, causing Y/N and Aaron to laugh.
“it’s just a sandwich on a fork” Aaron picked up a pancake, sausage, and egg stuffing it in his mouth, the entire table busted out in laughs.
They slowly started to disburse to their rooms until it was time to go to Rossi’s. Aubrey was downstairs watching Twilight while silently scrolling on her phone. She felt better than before, California drained her of everything, she felt so lost and confused. Why me? Why Jack and I? What’s wrong with me that made this happen? The thoughts consumed her daily, it made it harder for her to do anything.
She was snapped out her trance by Y/N who was dressed in a simple dress that fit her perfectly. She kicked her shoes off and put her feet on the couch.
The two women sat in silence, it was comfortable, Y/N could tell she was still tense around her but not to much. Aubrey started to fall asleep and so did Y/N. She decided to head to the room as she was she carefully placed a blanket over Aubrey. The young girl stirred and settled Y/N smiled walking to lay down in her room.
Time had came to load the car and head to dinner with the team. This was an annual dinner the team would have every summer. Gracia showed up first of course with a gift for all the kids and a bottle of wine with Luke trailing behind holding little Scout who just turned two and was a busy boy.
Next was Tara who rode with Spencer who had recently cut his hair again. Then JJ arrived with Will and Henry who could care less about being there and Micheal, who ran to his Uncle Spencer for endless entertainment.
Finally Aaron and the rest of the gang arrived and the hugs and I miss yous started. When Jack and Aubrey walked into the kitchen Garcia seen them first,
“My sweet, sweet, baby hotches! Look at how much you both grown!” She said bringing them into a hug.
“Jesus Jack you’re gonna be taller than your dad!” Tara said after seeing the fluffy haired boy.
Aubrey walked around the room to do her rounds hugging Tara and Rossi. She walked outside to find her Uncle Spencer before she could start her search she walked over to her Aunt JJ.
“Hey JJ” Aubrey said causing Jennifer to jump,
JJ gasped “Bre? You’re so beautiful, how are you?” bringing her into a hug.
“I’m fine, I’ve missed it here a lot. Where’s Micheal?”
“He’s with Spence” a raspy voice came from behind JJ,
“Hey Henry Jay” Aubrey smiled and waved at him shyly he’d gotten away bigger and taller.
“Hey Marie” Henry said in a raspy tone walking over to bring the young women into a hug, Aubrey melted into him, the two had always been close with one another. Moments passed and they let go if each other.
“How was California?” Henry asked pouring a cup of juice and handing it too Bre.
Aubrey looked down playing with her fingers, “it’s okay.” She looked up at him, “I’m not believing that for a second” he laughed.
“Okay fine it wasn’t all that great but I’m alive, profiler” Aubrey said back jokingly, he was practically as smart as Spencer but he’ll never admit it. “Whenever you’re ready to talk you know where to find me” he grinned at Aubrey letting the girl walk off.
Aubrey nodded and headed to where her Uncle Spencer was showing Micheal how to do a magic trick. Spencer had actually babysat Aubrey before, she was always fascinated by how he knew everything and was the only person that can answer any question she had. He always knew how to calm Jack down when he would get frustrated or help Aubrey with her very advanced math.
Micheal seen her approaching and slowing turned his head, “AB! you’re here!” He ran to Aubrey slamming into her.
“MJ! I’m here, you’re growing up buddy.!” She said tickling his sides, he quickly ran off leaving Spencer and Aubrey.
“Uncle Spence, I’ve missed you.” She walked over and they did their signature elbow bumps, that took Spencer forever to learn how to do the correct way.
“Wow Aubrey, you grew” he laughed with his messy hair in his face.
“Uncle Spence!, how are you?” She hugged him as he replied,
“I’m great it’s been okay, and how are you and Mr.Gigi?” Mr.Gigi was Aubrey’s fish in California that Spencer won at a carnival when the team had a case in California. Spencer always had a welcoming presence to the young girl she felt she could tell him anything.
“He’s super greedy but he’s good.” Avoiding the beginning of his question.
“And you?” He looked at her and soften his expression “Oh I’m fine, really glad to be home though” she nodded and smiled. “That’s great Aubrey, well I gotta get back” Aubrey hesitated to speak as Spencer walked off,
“Spencer? Can I ask you a question?” she asked shyly,
“Of course, I’m sure I have an answer” he turned around quickly on his heels and smiled.
“This may sound weird but is there a way to forget something that happened to you?”
Spencer gave her a confused look, “I’m not sure what you mean.” He gave her a confused look, “Like a bad trauma, is there a way to stop reliving and seeing it and ..feeling it?” She looked up with hopeless eyes, hoping he knew a way to stop her pain.
“Um, EMDR help alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories such as post traumatic stress disorder, but besides that most people choose to take it one day at a time and it eventually gets easier. Is there something bothering you?” He gave her the fullest answer he could, Spencer was an amazing profiler and he could tell something was up.
The way she picked and flipped the bottom of her shorts in her hand as she rocked back and fourth and her breathing was shaky.
“No, I was just curious I watched some movie last night and wanted to know if it was possible, thanks.” Aubrey walked off heading back toward the kitchen.
By the time everyone arrived and had a few drinks and things it was time to eat. They all sat around and grubbed on his amazing pasta. Slowly everyone started to make it to the dance floor. Gracia pushing Luke and forcing his to dance, then Tara and Emily, followed by Will Spencer and JJ and the real party begun.
