Somewhere To Belong

Chapter 2

-Hotch's POV-

His internal clock woke Aaron up around seven the following morning and even though he went to sleep at one, he felt refreshed. He got dressed in his running gear, checked in on Jack and went for his morning run. When he got back an hour later, he was surprised to see someone else awake.

AH: Morning, Spencer.

SR: Morning. (He smiled)

AH: I'm surprised you're awake after last night.

SR: I uh, couldn't sleep after I woke up around seven thirty so I decided to make coffee for myself and I saw you weren't here so I made you a cup too. Here you go.

AH: Thank you, I'll go take a quick shower after this and start with breakfast.

SR: Okay... uh, when does Jack usually wake up?

AH: Anytime from eight thirty, don't worry. He's usually very easy in the morning.

SR: No, it's okay. I just wanted to know.

AH: Okay, thanks for the coffee. I'll be down soon.

SR: Mm-hm. (He blushed again from the smile he received from Aaron)

...

-Spencer's POV-

Spencer was standing there drinking his second cup of coffee when he heard tiny footsteps coming down the stairs.

J: Morning Spencer. (He grumbled rubbing his still sleepy eyes)

SR: Morning Jack, did you sleep well?

J: Mm-hm... Did you?

SR: Yes I did, thank you.

J: I'm glad that you're still here.

SR: I promised that I'd be here, didn't I?

J: You did. (He said sitting down at the breakfast table)

SR: What do you usually drink in the mornings?

J: Hot chocolate but my dad makes me do it myself so that I can learn how to do it by myself.

SR: How about I make it for you just for today huh?

J: I'd really like that Spencer.

SR: I'll make it for you the way my mother use to.

J: I can't wait to taste it. (He said making Spencer smile)

...

Aaron walked in to see his son and Spencer sitting and talking to one another each with a mug in their hand.

AH: Well this looks cosy.

J: Morning dad.

AH: Morning buddy, how many'th cup is that for today Spencer?

SR: This is actually hot chocolate.

J: Dad, Spencer makes the best hot chocolate!

AH: Really?

J: Mm-hm, you should have some.

AH: Maybe I should, Spencer?

SR: It's not necessary, I can make you a cup of coffee instead.

AH: No, I'd like a cup of the best hot chocolate while I make us pancakes.

J: The best pancakes ever, Spencer.
