"You guys, it's his fiftieth birthday we have to do something," you pressed to the team while you all sat around in your cubicles.

Hotch's birthday was coming up and you knew he wasn't the biggest fan of celebrating it, but fifty was a milestone year and you figured a nice get-together couldn't hurt.

"He hates his birthday though," Derek chimed in. "What are we supposed to do?"

"I don't know, it doesn't have to be big, just something to show him we care," you said simply.

"Well you know I love planning parties so I'm in," Penelope grinned. "We should probably talk to Jessica, she might be able to get him somewhere if we wanted it to be a surprise,"

"I think that's the only way he'll come," JJ added. "But I'm in too, just let me know whatever you need,"

Derek eventually gave in and once you told Rossi. Spencer, and Emily, agreed to help you as well, everything was set now you just needed some sort of plan.

Multiple nights spent at Penelope's condo were used to brainstorm ideas and then throw them out the window because

No Penelope, we cannot get Hotch a stripper. It's his birthday, not a bachelor party.

"Wait, I think I've got it!" you exclaimed, sitting upright and almost spilling your wine. "We order food from his favourite restaurant, set up a nice little table in Rossi's backyard, dinner, drinks, dancing," you listed.

"Triple D! That's a classic, why didn't we think of that sooner?" Penelope asked.

"Probably because we drank like a bottle of wine before each of our last brainstorming sessions," you noted and she seemed to nod in agreement.

Everyone was informed of the plan and had their own assignment. Penelope was on decorations, JJ would get the cake, Rossi would order the food, Derek would prepare the music, Emily was on drinks, Spencer would make sure everything stayed under budget, and you managed everyone and made sure they were all doing their jobs.

Now all you had to do was pray a case didn't come on November second. Plus, you figured he would never see it coming because he assumed none of you knew when his birthday was, sure he liked to keep it on the down-low, but you did a little snooping, as in ask Penelope and she couldn't keep a secret from you.

The night of the party you came to Rossi's house early to set up, only a few additional people had been invited, one being Jess and one or two friends Hotch had from his prosecuting days, but otherwise, it was just the core team.

"Okay, I'm gonna throw my bag in one of your billion spare rooms and just get ready later," you said.

"Sure do whatever you want, you're the one who's dying tonight,"

"What do you mean dying tonight?" you scoffed as you pulled out your phone to text Emily and see how things were going with her and JJ.

"When Aaron gets upset because we threw him a party you're the one getting thrown under the bus," he shrugged.
