"It's snowing, Daddy!" Jack Hotchner cried as he ran into the kitchen from where he was staring out the window.

"Is it, buddy?" Hotch asked the excited six-year-old.

"Yeah, lots," the young boy declared. Glancing out the window from where he was plating the Christmas cookies he and Jack had made and decorated, the unit chief frowned. It was really coming down and he didn't like the idea of his boyfriend Spencer driving in what was turning out to be probably a blizzard. The front door opened and closed and he heard Jack running to greet the other man. Placing the last cookie on the plate, Aaron made his way into the living room to greet his lover.

"It's awful out there. I hit a patch of black ice and thankfully didn't wreck," Spencer said kissing Aaron quickly.

"I'm glad you're okay," Hotch replied softly.

"Did you get the decorations, Papa?" Jack asked. Reid had gone to the store to buy a few more decorations for their house.

"I sure did, Jack. Do you want to see them?"

"Yeah!" Jack cried. Reaching down, Spencer picked up the bag and showed it to Jack. It was full of Blue and Silver decorations.

"Those look very nice," Aaron commented.

"Hey, can we put them up, now, please?" the young boy wanted to know.

"Of course we can," his father told him.

"Why don't you go start the CD player so we can listen to Christmas music while your dad and I get some cookies and coffee," Spencer told the young boy. Nodding, Jack ran off to do what he was told. Soon the strains of "Up on the House Top" were drifting through the house and the three of them began to sing. Christmas since they'd lost Haley hadn't been easier, but this year, the three of them were a family and it looked like it was going to be one of the best Christmas's yet.

Finished!
