How it all Began

Part 1

They don't know how they had gotten to this point in their lives, actually they can probably both pinpoint exactly where it all went wrong. It all started when JJ became pregnant with Henry, and Will asked her to marry him. JJ accepted his proposal so Henry could have two loving parents at home, unlike what she had at home when she was a child. JJ wasn't really in love with Will though sure she cared for him deeply, but she knew he had only proposed out of obligation.

It had almost destroyed Aaron to watch the women he had been in love with for so long, get married to a man that he knew she didn't love. The wedding ceremony was extremely beautiful in Dave's backyard, he really did know how to throw an amazing party, especially one so last minute. Aaron had his eyes on her that whole night, watching JJ's beautiful face plaster on that fake smile of hers, pretending to be happy but he knew she wasn't. He was one of the only people who had ever seen her real smile, the one that made him fall even more in love with her. On that night he was able to get a dance with her while Will was off drinking with his friends, and they had stood as close as they could to each other swaying to the song that they wished had gone on forever, because they had not wanted to let go of each other. Aaron remembers after that song  had ended that he whispered in her ear "I will love you forever, but I hope you are happy", all she did was look up at him with those heart-broken eyes of hers and gave him one of her fake smiles.

Here they were now 6 months later, both in loveless marriages to people that did not make them happy. Aaron had started dating this girl whose name was Heather, almost right after JJ got married to try and get over the blonde. Aaron and Heather ended up getting married after only a few months of dating, because Jack kept asking his father if he was going to marry someone ever again so Aaron decided to take Heather to the courthouse one weekend and they got married.

When JJ got to work that following Monday she was shocked when she overheard Penelope talking to Derek saying "Bossman got married this weekend, and he didn't even tell us so we could throw him a big party like how could he do that just go off and get married in secret". JJ didn't even hear Derek's response to Penelope because she had already barged into Hotch's office and asked him "How could you just go off and get married and not tell any of us. We are one big family, Aaron don't you know that?". Aaron decided that he was gonna be honest with her and said to her "JJ I only married her to make Jack happy because the only woman I have loved besides Hayley is already happily married." and she just looked at him and tried not to break down crying, because she loved him too and now they couldn't do anything about it.
