Aaron was in Witness protection for 2 years. When he comes back to the BAU, he brings something or rather someone with him, who suprises everyone.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A lot happend in the time Aaron Hotchner was away.

The team changed. They got new members, Tara Lewis, Luke Alvez and Matt Simmons. Emily also was Unit Chef, after Hotch was gone.

But a lot has happend in Aaron Hotchner's life too.

Jack is now a pre-teenager, being a little rebel and breaking rules in school. Aaron got a normal job at an office, so he got more time for Jack.

But the biggest change? His wife Y/N and their little daughter Maxime Emily. But Y/N wasn't new to him. She was once an agent at the BAU, working with everyone. But she didn't want to do that dangerous life anymore and quit.

They two met a few months after Aaron and Jack were put in protection. Aaron was very scared at the beginning, that Scratch would now find them and everything, but that changed as she reassured him, everything will be okay.

They met secretly and Jack also felt connected to her. He finally has a mother figure, he can look up to and ask for advice, especially for girls.

After one year, she got pregnant and Aaron proposed to her. Their wedding was a little one in a church, just with Jack.

One day Aaron got a call, that had him speechless.

"Y/N?" he asks from the kitchen.

"Yes, honey?" you say from the table, where Jack and you were doing homework.

"He is dead." he says happily and you stop in your tracks. He would only be happy about one death.

"No way." you say not believing him.

He just smiles at you and comes to hug you. You still can't believe it. You four are free.

"We are going home." you whisper at him with teary eyes.

𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗔𝗨:

"Oh my- Oh my god" Penelope says as she looks at the screen. Soaking in all the information.

She called Morgan, "Chocolate thunder, gather everyone in the conference room!" she practically yells at him. He just says yes, even though he is really confused.

The team was sitting in the room, confused.

"Why did Garcia want us here?" Luke asks.

"Well, I'm about to answer that." she says happy, as she goes into the room.

"And what's going on?" Reid asks.

"Well, I just read some really good news." she answers.

"What? Are we getting a promotion?" Rossi says and laughs.

"No, but I think you all remember a certain man." she says, which confuses everyone.

"What, what man?" Emily asks, as she shares a look with JJ.

"You know, grumpy man." she answers. Most of them have a look of realization, but the other three, newer members are still confused.

"Who are we talking about?" Matt asks.

"Aaron Hotchner." Derek replys them.

"You mean your old unit chef?" Tara asks and they all nod.

"Yeah, he was put in WITSEC with his son, after an unsub stalked him. But why are you bringing this up, Garcia?" JJ responds.

"Well.." she begins as a photo shows up on the screen, a photo of Peter Lewis, Mr. Scratch. "Peter Lewis was found dead in his apartment this morning." she says, "And Hotch is leaving WITSEC."

This leaves everyone happy and they all share a smile.

"He deserves that. I don't know how scared he must have been." Spencer says.

"That isn't all. Apparently he booked tickets to Virgina, but he booked four, not two." she says, "And I can't figure out why."

"Maybe it's just an technical problem." Luke suggests.

"I don't know, but I will invite him over to the office, when he get's here." Emily says to them and they all agree with her.

𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂

Aaron, the kids and you were just landing in Virginia. You all were excited to go home, even tough it would be a bit weird.

Aaron told you, that Emily invited him to come to the office after they land and he asked you to come with you. Of course you said yes.

As you make your way to the building you get anxious.

"How did she even know about you coming back?" you ask.

"Garcia." he just answers. Of course, how could you forget.

"I'm nervous." you say to him and he gives you a smile.

"Hey I'm nervous too. So much changed." he says and you laugh, yeah much has changed.

As you make your way up to floor 6, your nerves are at the end. You are holding Jack's hand and Aaron is holding Maxime.

As the door opens you can see the whole team, with new faces, looking at you.

They look between you, Aaron and the kids.

Jack breaks free from your hand and runs to them, calling for Rossi and Derek.

Penelope is the first to say something, "Y/N? What are you doing here? Hotch why do you have another kid? Why are you two together here? But it's so good to see you again! I missed you so much Boss-man and Y/N, and little Jack."

You laugh at her and hug her. After that you all share hugs and you get an introduction to the new members.

"Soo, what is it with you two?" JJ asks pointing fingers at you and Hotch.

"Well let me introduce you to my wife Y/N Hotchner and our daughter Maxime Emily Hotchner." that leaves everyone shocked, especially Emily.

"You- you named her after me?" she asks and you can see tears in her eyes.

"You are a important person to both our lives." you tell her.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry, but you both are so cute." Tara says and you smile at her.

"How did you two even meet?" Rossi asks and you both share your story.

"So, will you both come back?" Reid asks.

You give Aaron a look, that tells him to tell the others, "Well, I talked to Strauss and I'm coming back, but not as Unit chef." he says as the others smile and cheer.

"But I won't. I want to be home and I'm still not into catching serial killers again. But I sure will be visiting a lot." you say to them.

"Don't worry sweet cheeks, we will have a lot of time to catch up." Penelope says and you all laugh.

Yeah, it's good to be back home.
