It was tuesday morning, everyone ws occupied with the tasks, the bullpen looks like a college lecture room, the only thing you can hear is a tick of a clock.

It's been two years when Aaron Hotchner almost lost his life, he lost his wife and son Jack to a criminal. He almost stop living, but his family, his team helps him moved on, but he neer forgets, he still blames himself. Jack could be 9 years old now if he was still alive, and he miss his son terribly, He and Haley ges divorced 2 years before the accident. He had loved Haley very much even they end up not good.

Aaron Hotchner is in the middle of his paperworks when his phone rings. He looks at the caller, it was a unknown number.

" Hotchner" Aaron answer timidly, whoever was on the other line surely knows to call out of timing.

" Aaron, its Mike I had something to tell you about Michelle" Aaron drops his pen upon hearing his high school bestfriend on the other line.

" What about Michelle? Mike I never heard of Michelle since she breaks up with me like1 5 years ago. Look I am on my work, my team is waiting. . "He was about to drop the call when his friend stop him.

" Yeah, Aaron well Michelle died yestreday, I just thought you might wat to join us visitng her funeral. Might as well meet with old friends. " Aaron almost forget to breath, Michelle was his first love, he had given up everything he had on the past for her but she left him with no closure. Yes he was furious with her but the news breaks him.

" Aaron, man you still there? " Aaron grip his phone, he will see his old friends again after a long time. But hell he was not excited. This is not a welcoming reunion.

"Count me in Mike, I'll see you tomorrow, " Aarron sighed. He need to talk to his team about it.

" Jeez Rossi, I am surprised she didnt get to be your wife no 5". Emily remarks making Rossi rolled his eyes.

" Cara, she is great but I had high standards". Rossi said earning a laugh from Morgan.

" I don't want to hear about it, I gotta go, JJ just give the team information about the case" Hotch said before waving goodbye to the team.

" Hey baby girl, what's up?" Morgan asked Garcia who was on her lair looking at a profile

" Hey handsome, I was just intrigued on this Michelle, welk I did a little research." Garcia said winking at Morgan.

" Whoah, babygirl, bossman wouldn't be happy about that" Morgan said smiling at the tech analyst.

" Well, you said that this Michelle, was bossman's first love, and they seperate with no closure" Garcia said looking at Morgan.

" Yeah, but it was past baby girl, Hotch met Haley after 2 years, well they got married, yeah she might be the first but Haley was the true love." Morgan answered.

" Bossman was a good chief, a good friend, the best husband and father, but why all of this happen to him. He didn't deserve all this suffering, He lost Haley and Jack two years ago, for two years he almost killed himself. " Garcia said wiping her tears,Morgan sit beside her and pull her to him, embracing her.

"Handsome, her maiden name is Michelle Franks, according to this. Oh God! " Garcia drops her pen and Morgan stands up.

" Baby girl? What is it? " Morgan asked seeing Garcia stunned and looking at the article with wide eyes.

" We need to talk to Hotch, we need to call him, Morgan call him" Gracia starts to ramble.

" Babygirl, what is it?" Morgan ask a bit confused.

" Michelle Franks has a record on Las Vegas Hospital, 15 years ago." Garcia said.

Hotch gets off his truck and meet Mike and his wife Anna outside a funeral home.

" Hey man, you look good, I mean better than the last time" Mike hugs his friend.

" You too Mike, Anna how are you both? " Hotch ask as they made heir way inside.

" Well, we our daughter Maeve turns 15 this year, and our youngest Mia turns 7. You know you miss a lot with mAeve. " Anna said earning a laugh from Mike.

" Yeah, thanks for reminding me, don't worry after this I will make time for my God daughter". Hotch said and calm himself before entering the funeral hall.

Aaron remembers a lot of faces, Michelle has no family present, her parents died years ago, she has no siblings. They met a lot of friends but Hotch was no guts to chat with them, he walks to Michelle's coffin.

" Hey Mich, It's been a long time, God, I never want to meet you in this situation, I am sorry for being mad at you for a long time. " He looks at Michelle picture nearby.

A man came up next to him, he recognized him as Michelle's good friend. Harry Alberts.

" Hey Aaron, can I talk to you? " Harry asks when Aaron turned to him

" About what?" Hotch answered back looking again at Michelle.

" Do yu know that Michelle, had a son?" Hotch looks at him with wide eyes.

" What? she has a son?, I thought she was not married at all? " Hotch asked looking at Harry.

" Yeah, she was never married, but she ha d a son, well listen, you might want to ask Michelle's only relative here right now," Harry points a lady talking to most guests.

" Who is she?" Hotch said not recognizing the lady.

" Her name is Denice Adams, she is Michelle's third cousin from California, she is the sister of William Reid wife Diana. William and his wifeDiana adopted Michelle's son.

Hotch was stunned from what he heard from Harry, Michelle never called him or find him after they seperate. He never knew he had a child from her, so he never called her after it. Now he was confused, why did Michelle let her cousin Diana adopts their child, more importantly, was it really his child. Now he is doomed.

Hotch waits for guests to leave before he walks to Denice.

The moment he came to her, she was shock, now it's his turn to get confused.

"Aaron Hotchner, what brings you here? " Denice asked looking away the moment she recognized him.

"You knew me? Actually it is myturn to ask you. A friend told me that Michelle got a child after we seperate. " Aaron asked straight.

" You want something? " Denice asked trying to change the subject.

" Denice, tell me the truth, is the kid mine? Michelle never get married not have serious relationships. Tell me!" Aaron ask calmly as he could.

" Ican get you a drink, a snack Aaron" Denice answered trying to change the topic.

" You are hiding something from me Denice, I am a profiler I knew signs, tell me what you knew about this! " Aaron shout and slammed his fist on the was a bit scared but she nodded.

" Sit down I will tell you, please let me finish before you judge me and Michelle. " Denice said sitiing in a chair away from people. Aaron take it as his invitation and seated infront of her.

" Yeah, Michelle was pregnant before she left you, she never told you because she bla,es herself from ruining your life, and she doesn't want to break you more. The moment she had the baby, she decided that she cannot raise him, she talks to me to get his son to orphanaged, She was confused and broken that she can't hold the baby, my sister Diana and her husband decided to take the child because they cant have one." Denice said looking at Aaron in the eye.

" Where is my son Denice?" Aaron asked looking at her also.

" My sister was confined ina sanitarium in Bennington , she got sickshe and William seperated and that asshole left Spencer and Diana.

" Spencer?" Aaron asked again

" That's your son's name Spencer, he just turns 15 last month, he is a junior high school, good looking kid, smart and very sweet. He is living with me now. " Denice looks at Aaron.

" Does he know about Michelle?" About the adoption?" Aaron asked standing up.

" Yeah, I told him the truth last year, he met Michelle, until she died from the accident. Aaron, I promised Michelle I will take care of Spencer, but I cannot hide the fact that he is yours laso. You have the right with him." Denice said.

Aaron was standing looking at the window, he turns to Denice with determination, understanding and hope in his face.

" I want to meet my son, if he likes to, does he knew about me? " Aaron said.

" He knew about you,Michelle apologizes to him and explained to him everything, Spencer knew that Michelle hides him from you. Aaron if you will just meet him now, but you will not recognized him or take him in with you, please just leave." Denice asked wiping her tears.

" I lost my wife and son two years ago Denice, and I am not leaving my son here alone, if he wants to come with me then I will take him, if he is not ready yet I will understand, But I want him in my life." Aaaron answered looking at Denice straight in the eye.

" Thank you Aaron, thank you" Denice stands up and wipe her tears. " Come with me and Meet your 15 year old amazing son, Spencer.

Aaron watch adenice walks towards a room not far away, she stop in the door and looks at him expectantly, he sighed. * This is it, there s no turning back* he said in his mind.
