Truth That Speaks (Criminal Minds)

Chapter Four

Sabrina's Pov
"What kind of candy do you like little one?" I peeked up glancing up at Reid who was sitting beside me doing some hand to hand paperwork focused on the new case at hand that we were assigned quickly. And I was helping the best I could.

But then my little slip up happened and I had slipped with Reid watching me because he noticed the signs right away with his sharp eyes.

"Chocolate and gummy bears." I cooed out looking up at Reid beaming slightly as I did so.

"They make me hyper," I explained gesturing with my hands watching Reid smile to himself looking up.

"How about I buy you some gummy bears when we get back home? As much as you want?" He offered to me and I let a small squeal latching onto him making him laugh wrapping his free arm around me.

"Does that sound good?" He asked me softly and I nodded "yes it would." I giggled and Reid poked my nose with a smile still writing more on the paperwork.

"Try and be good for me okay, I'm sure Hotch will be back okay little one." He mumbled. I once again nodded my head laying my head on his shoulder shutting my eyes trying to relax.

A few minutes passed of Reid multitasking with telling me a story and writing when Aaron came in with the case files.

"Reid, have you made any connections with- oh what's going on?" He asked curiously lifting his eyes up Reid lifted his head up off mine clearing his throat.

  "Sabrina slipped a bit and I've been trying to distract her till you got back."   He explained I looked at Hotch happily my whole mood changing. "Thanks, Reid, I want you and JJ to go give a profile," Hotch told him nodding his head at the both of us.

I leaned back into my seat sitting criss-cross in the chair playing with the sleeves to my shirt. I heard Hotch make his way over to me before he sat down next to me looking at me softly.

"Hey sweetie how long has it been since you slipped?" He asked me in a soft gentle voice a small smile making its way on his face as he watched me closely. I giggled at him laying on my arms gazing up at him through each braid.

  "Two hours I was helping Reid with profiles when it freaking happened," I whined blowing a raspberry. "I tried Aaron and it keeps happening at the worse times I told you it was bad," I mumbled.

"Hey, Sabrina what did I say," Hotch called in a stern tone and I puffed my cheeks out yet again.   "Not to talk bad in the little space," I mumbled defeated blowing yet another raspberry out.

Hotch gave me another look tilting his head.  "Also remember to speak up, I told you nothing is wrong with slipping, I see Reid likes taking care of you." He mumbled clearing his throat focusing on me.

"Mhm he told me a few stories and when we get back he's taking me to a gummy bear shop," I explained and Hotch looked at me amazed.

"Oh really do you think I can come with you guys, we can bring Jack?" He asked me my whole mood got excited as I nodded my head.

"I would love that." I giggled out watching him moving close and Aaron wrapped his arms around me hugging me deeply making me relax to his touch.

"Aaron, what are we?" I mumbled suddenly wondering the thought and I felt him hum a little looking down at me with a soft expression on his face.

"We are whatever you wanna be, but over a few years   I've cared for you, and I love you deeply." He mumbled softly pressing a gentle kiss on my head.

I felt my whole entire face stay hot as I curled up onto Hotch a little hiding my head on his chest.

"I care about you too, for a really really long time I've loved you for a while I was just confused," I mumbled shy like feeling him pull me closer rubbing my shoulders.

"Then I can ask you, Sabrina, will you be mine?" He whispered gently laying his head on my head again and I slowly slipped out of my mindset and lifted my head up pulling my hair back.

"I thought I never would hear those words from you, Aaron," I called out watching him lift his head up at me cupping my face making me look up at him.

"I've been waiting a while to say it, I made a promise and I am keeping it." He whispered stroking my cheeks in a gentle pattern.

I leaned into his touch shutting my eyes placing my hands over his holding them tracing his hands loving the warmth it gave off.

I kept my gaze on him fully relaxed my mind drifting off to a brand new thought flowed through I'm now dating Aaron Hotchner my boss and he is my caregiver too.
