"Jack, what do you say that we make cookies for your dad before he gets home?" You ask, sitting down in the seat next to the young boy, who was vigourously coloring a picture of a dog.

"Yeah!" He exclaims, jumping up from his chair. You smile at him.

"Okay, but first, you need to go wash your hands." You request, ruffling his hair.

You set out all the ingredients, waiting for Jack to come back.

"Okay Jack, add in the flour, I'm going to grab the chocolate chips." You say, walking over to the pantry.

You get back to the counter and Jack runs up to you, wiping his flour covered hands on your jeans. You gasp as he giggles at you.

"You little monster." You say, grinning and chasing after him as he giggles, running around the counter. You grab some flour, throwing it at him as he continuously giggles, running faster.

You stop, trying to catch your breath.

"Okay Jack, let's finish mixing up the ba-" You were cut off by flour being thrown at your face, followed by Jack in a fit of laughter. You laugh along with him, wiping your face with a dish towel close by before grabbing the spoon, continuing to stir the batter.

"Okay, if you let me finish stirring, you can lick the spoon." You say and he nods, sitting patiently on the stool across from you.

You pop the cookies in the oven as you hear another voice fill the kitchen.

"Woah, what happened in here?" You hear Aaron ask as you close the oven.

"Cookies." You hear Jack answer as you turn around, watching him lick the spoon. You look up at Aaron, who returns the look up and down.

"And what about you Mrs. Hotchner, you look like you went through a snow storm." He says, chuckling at the sight of flour covering you and most of the kitchen.

You grab the empty bowl, walking over to the sink and turning on the water, filling the bowl up.

"Well, you see, I have no explanation other than that I hope these cookies are going to be amazing." You answer, smiling at him.

-

You put the plate of cookies on the coffee table, walking back to the kitchen to grab the glasses of milk.

Jack and Aaron reappear in the living room, both having changed in to more comfortable clothing.

Aaron turns the T.V. on, changing the channel to a movie everyone would enjoy. You grab a cookie as Aaron puts his arm around you and Jack.

"These cookies are good." Jack says, his mouth full of cookie as he goes for another one.

-

"I think you and Jack should make cookies all the time." Aaron says as the two of you walk out of Jack's room after tucking him in. You laugh, coming to a stop in the hallway.

Aaron pulls you into a hug, as you rest your head on his chest.

"I love you." He says, his voice muffled by your hair. You smile.

"I love you more."

- these are so funny to edit, becuase they aren't awful initially, but now that i have grown in my knowledge of how to write, they're just so much better.
