Hotchniss One-Shots

Promises

"Let me go!"
"Hotch! Let go of me"
"Aaron!" Emily yelled at him kicking and waving her arms around frantically, but he kept a firm grip on her waist

The case started 6 days ago, they all knew it would be brutal but no one else expected it to turn out like this. The UnSub Michael Davies was kidnapping brunette girls between the ages 15-17, he had made himself known right from the start, yet the still evaded capture. Emily had talked to one of the victims best friend, Leah Scott. She had made the girl a promise to try her best to find her friend, now Leah and and best friend blew up in that building

"Let me go" she cried, her whole body sagged as the wearhouse blew up
"Let me go" she whispered

As soon as he did she fell to the ground, her initial thought was to run, but she couldn't. The last words Leah said to her rang through her ears
"Promise me, Emily, please"
"I promise" Emily replied without a doubt

However that was all destroyed as the building burst into flames. She felt two strong arms wrap around her waist, she didn't have to look to know who it was.
"Don't touch me" she wanted to yell but it only came out as a whisper

"Em" he pleaded

"No, no, no, I'm going to the hotel. Leave me alone" she yelled this time
As soon as he released her she ran.
In that moment she didn't care where to or how dark it was. She didn't care who saw her or what they thought.
She just ran and ran as fast as she could.

He found her face down and passed out of her hotel bed. She still had her black slacks on and the dark blue shirt that was covered by her blazer.
Emily's body looked so small against the large bed. It was something he wasn't used to. Emily had always been the stronger one in their relationship.

Taking a seat on the chair next to the bed he sighed and waited until she woke.

3 hours later she started stirring meaning she was waking up. As she lifted her head from the bed, his heart nearly shattered at the sight of her face. The minimal makeup she was wearing was smudged, the mascara tracks down her face made it evident that she was crying.

The thing that surprised him was that she didn't yell at him. Which wasn't a good sign, she just stared at the wall ahead of her. Not even 10 seconds later a fresh set of tears started rolling down her face, Aaron was up and out of his seat before the first one left her cheek.

Wrapping her arms around her, Aaron held Emily as she cried. Although she didn't lean into his touch like she usually did, he took it as a good sign because she wasn't hitting at him or pushing him away.

"I promised her" Emily mumbled against his shirt

"Honey" he said in a gentle tone as he rubbed her back

"I know" she sighed whipping away her tears she used his chest to push herself up to look at him. Immediate guilt hit her when she saw the genuine heartache he felt for her
"I'm sorry I yelled at you, I'm so sorry"
"I know you were only trying to keep my safe" she hiccuped trying to keep her emotions controlled

"You're human Em. It's okay" He replied softly, laying down on the bed he pulled her down with him

"Will you stay with me tonight, I don't want to be alone" Emily asked as she wrapped herself around him

"I wasn't planning on leaving sweetheart" placing a kiss on her forehead they were both asleep within 10 minutes

The knock on her door didn't wake either of them up. Taking it as a signal of potential danger JJ opened her best friends hotel room and walked in followed by the rest of the team, plus their new additions Alex Blake, Tara Lewis, Luke Alvez and Matt Simmons. The sight although slightly unexpected by the new team members left them all in 'aww'

Aaron Hotchner their 'hard ass' and 'mr tight tie' boss was cuddled up to the teams equivalent of 'wonder woman' as Garcia called it.

"This is going to be fun" Derek laughed quietly as he snapped a photo
Slowly they all started backing out the room as they smiled.

"Do they always end up like that?" Blake asked the next morning in the jet. Everyone had boarded early except for the brunette couple.

"They have their moments" JJ replied

"But they can't stay away for too long" Rossi said taking a seat next to Alex

"How long have they been together?" Alvez asked

"Shut it Newbie, thought you would of done you're research before you joint the team" Garcia interrupted through her computer screen

"3 years married, 6 in total" Rossi answered

"Wow"

"So when Prentiss said she didn't have any children, was it a cover up or?" Blake asked confused

"Jack is Hotch's biological son, and they adopted Declan last year" JJ explained not wanting to shared to much of her friends personal life's

"I'm pretty sure Hotch gets separation anxiety" Reid blurted out causing everyone to laugh at the comment

"What do I have?" Hotch asked as he followed Emily onto the jet, his hand was slightly in front of his as Emily lead him onto the plane.

"Anything to share with the class Princess?" Morgan asked nodding towards their hands which were intertwined. Emily smacked him 'lightly' over the head with her free hand.

"Nope" she said simply, smiling when Aaron sat next to her and squeezed bed thigh under the table
