Undercover Love

Little Jason

"It's just a con-" Sean pushes himself upright and throws himself towards the  bathroom.

Hotch cringes at the sound of his brother emptying the contents of his stomach.

Sean comes back out of the bathroom and glares at the hospital tiles. "Just a concussion."

Emily rolls her eyes," you sound exactly like your brother."

"I'll get you something to wear." Hotch walks away from them and Emily sighs.

Sean falls into the couch and groans.

Emily throws a blanket over Sean's shoulder," don't worry about him. He's had a bad day."

Sean, with his head in the pillow, groans," everyday is a bad day when you're Aaron "

Hotch renters the room and puts a pair of sweatpants and a t shirt on the table. "It's.. um.. my swat shirt. It's the smallest shirt I have so.."

"Emmy?" All three adults jump and spin to face Jack. In his footie pajamas he's ruled out as a threat.

"Whatcha need bud?" Emily scoops up Jack.

Jack lays his head down against Emily," is uncle Sean gonna stay with us?"

Before Sean can say that he'll hit the road in the morning Hotvh interrupts," Sean can stay with us for as long as he'd like."

Sean groggily looks up from the pillow," really, Aaron?"

Hotch's smile is forced, and not at ease," I'm not just gonna let my kid brother out on the street."

Kid brother. When was the last time Sean heard Aaron call him that?

"Really?"

Hotch glances at Emily and nods," yeah."

This time Sean manages a small nod," okay."

_¡|《》|¡_

"Good morning Uncle Sean!"

The sound of his always chipper nephew brings a piercing pain through his skull. "Hey, J."

Sean seats up and finds Emily standing at the stove, pushing food around the skillet. "Aaron will be back in a moment Sean. He can get you a pair of clean jeans."

Everyone looks to the door as it's thrown open.

"You're getting slow," Emily teases with a smirk.

Sean watches his brother scrunch his face up," I had pneumonia less than a month ago."

Emily meets his brother around the counter and they lock lips.

Sean wonders if this is what love is. What his brother and Emily have.

"Excuses," Emily mumbles and Sean looks away as Emily obviously checks his brother out.

Hotch kicks his shoes of and heads back towards his room. He stops half way and leans back into the living room. "The shower is free Sean, if you'd like to take a shower."

Emily scoffs from the kitchen," I wish you'd take a shower, Aaron!" Then under her breath," you smell awful after your morning runs."

"Good morning, Emmy!" Jack, all dressed for school, comes running out from the direction of his room.

"Good morning, sunshine!" She slides a plate of eggs in front of the eager boy and smiles at Sean. "There's eggs in here if you'd like some."

Sean nods and walks gingerly into the kitchen.

"There's some Advil by your orange juice," Emily informs him without turning around.

Jack kicks his little legs in and out as he eats his eggs. "You should come by more uncle Sean." Jack says scooping his eggs up. "Maybe you could stay again tonight and you could see Jason!"

Sean takes the Advil and nods to Jack's words. "Yeah, I should come down more often, shouldn't I?"

Jack nods eagerly. 

"Maybe I will."

"It feels like just yesterday.." Hotch doesn't need to finish his thought, Emily knows.

"I hate the way you found out. How we all found out.."

Jack isn't bothered by his parents intimacy. "Can I just hold him?"

Hotch pats his knee, opening it to Jack," come here."

He lays Jason down into Jack's arms, using his own to stabilize.

"Are we gonna have a party?" Jack asks, referring to bringing his brother home.

Hotch looks up to Emily who shakes her head," nope. We're just gonna kick back for the afternoon."

*Geoffrey Holder (aka Charlie and the Chocolate Factory narrator) voice* "They did, in fact, have a party and feet were kicked up."

"Lil' bambino." Rossi crued as he held his new nephew (more like grandson) closely to his chest.

"Let me see the little shit," was announced before Derek Morgan slid into a small baby voice and held to little Jason protectively.

Jason Hotchner was silent throughout the ordeal. Maybe it was because he had a clean diaper and a full stomach... or maybe it was because even little Jason knew that he would never be safer than he is right now surrounded by Virginia's finest profilers.

I am so sorry that this took forever to update... I'm also supper sorry to say that this next chapter will be the last... however I am not sorry to say that the next chapter will have teenage Jack and Jason and I'm gonna try my best to make it absolutely adorable ❤
