[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

The weekend is sunny and so happy!

Michelle had a good night's sleep until she felt the warm sunlight shining on the quilt through the curtains, and then she woke up slowly.

With a "swipe" I opened the curtains. The weather is still very good recently, and the weather is also very good.How about going out for a walk?Michelle, who has been busy working and saving money since she came to Virginia, has never had time to see this beautiful town. It is a good idea to experience the wonderful life before the store opens.

Habitually send a harassing text message to Reid:

"Today Michelle is in a fine mood and is going to go out for a stroll. I wonder if Spencer is free to go out with her?"

After washing, Michelle was not surprised to see Reid's rejection text message: "Sincere friend, I believe you will not mind my occasional absence, and you are very supportive of my new reading journey in the library. Then, Reid's mood will continue. sunny."

Michelle calmly put down her phone, picked up the backpack she put aside and went out. It was too difficult for the homeboy Spencer to give up his books to go out with the girl. She knew the result a long time ago...

Rogers Park, as mentioned by Emily, has fewer people but beautiful scenery, very suitable for weekend outings and rest.

Michelle walked slowly on the tree-lined path, avoiding the teenagers riding bicycles and skateboarding around from time to time.On the grass not far away, a group of young lads were running non-stop, chasing rugby.It's great to be young, Michelle said with emotion, and felt that she seemed to have a lot younger mentality.

The breeze blows, rolls up the fallen leaves on the ground, and the warm sunshine makes it very comfortable to blow on the body. Looking down from the slope of the lawn, Michelle saw a large open space with various leisure and entertainment equipment, where many children played seesaws and slides...

Huh?Got an empty swing? Michelle's stubborn heart suddenly brought back her beautiful childhood memories!You must know that your favorite is swinging!After looking around, Michelle found that no one seemed to want to come forward. Michelle walked to the swing and sat down.

Swaying gently, from time to time relying on the strength of the legs to swing oneself high, there is a feeling of flying in the air.Anyway, no one knows me, and I am not afraid that others will look at me strangely.Thinking optimistically, Michelle closed her eyes comfortably, enjoying the comfortable and peaceful atmosphere of this moment.

"Evans?" The questioning tone was tentative, and there seemed to be a faint smile in it.

this voice? ? ! !

Michelle lamented in her heart that it couldn't be such a coincidence, but the appointed one secretly raised a slit of eyes, well, it's Hotch or someone who obviously has a teasing face!Don't ask her how she can see this teasing look from this poker face that is still facially paralyzed. As the object of her crush, she has already observed his expression carefully enough, and it is almost reduced to the changes in the facial muscles!

Looking at the cute movements of the girl in front of him, Hotch shook his head amusedly, it's really childish.

"Good morning, Hotch." Michelle tried her best to ignore Hotch's gaze, pretending that she hadn't been seen secretly playing on the children's swing, and calmly looked at the little boy who had been staring at her curiously, squatting down/ Stand at eye level with him:

"Hi! Little handsome boy, can you tell auntie what your name is?" She would definitely call herself sister when she met other children, but for little Jack...

"Although you should state your own name before asking someone else's name, as a qualified gentleman, you cannot refuse a lady's request, Jack, JackHoter." Who knew that the little boy nodded solemnly and replied cutely road.

"Hahahahaha——" Michelle, who didn't expect Jack to utter such amazing words, leaned back and forth with a smile. It's so cute to speak so solemnly like a little adult!

Hotch, who has been looking down at Michelle squatting down and talking to Jack patiently, can't help showing a gentle smile. Watching Michelle re-introduce herself and reaching out to shake hands with Jack in a decent way, Hotch can't help chuckling , What a considerate girl.It was obvious that Jack liked her egalitarian approach.

Did she vaguely hear Hotch's laughter just now?Michelle, who was a little suspicious of her ears, raised her head to see Hotch's expression clearly, but found it difficult to see whether the man was still serious from the crouching angle.

Just when Michelle was about to get up, she found a small white hand timidly pulling her sleeve. Michelle turned her head and met Little Jack's big wet eyes, her chubby body tried hard to keep standing, "Daddy brought back little bunny snacks before, are you the Michelle who made that?"

Michelle was taken aback when she heard Jack's soft question, did Hotch really tell him?Recalling that night, when she received a text message from Hotch saying that Jack liked it very much, she thought it was just a polite thank you...

How can this serious man be so cute when he is serious? Michelle covered her mouth in secret laughter, watching Hotch's light cough as he gently covered his mouth with his fist.The obvious embarrassment and shyness made Michelle smile so much that her eyes narrowed into crescents, which shows that she is really happy.

Jack on the side didn't understand the communication between his Daddy and Aunt Michelle, but seeing Michelle's happy smile, he clapped his hands "giggling".

Seeing Jack like this, Michelle couldn't help but hugged Jack fiercely, rubbed his smooth little face, and kissed him big.Jack, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, was also very happy to be approached by this beautiful aunt. He smiled brighter and returned a big kiss.

Hotch looked at the two people hugging and playing with each other intimately in front of him, he hadn't seen such a wanton joke on Jack's face for a long time.Children are sensitive, and Jack has long realized that his parents don’t seem to be able to accompany him all the time, so every time he takes Jack out to play on weekends, he behaves very sensible, not at all like a child of this age Mischievous. Hotch feels gratified and distressed at the same time, all this is not what Jack should bear, he should have the best family, parents who love him, and an unscrupulous childhood, instead of living life so cautiously watching the faces of adults.

Maybe I should really consider Rossi's suggestion. Hotch remembered Rossi's earnest advice to him after the dinner that day... Even if it's not for himself, he should come out for Jack. People always have to look forward.It's time to start a new life, as for the candidates? Hotch looked at the girl in front of him. All along his work, he had been exposed to the most evil and evil part of human nature. Seeing more darkness, it seemed that his heart became more and more closed and hardened.And after the divorce, this kind of shackles seem to lock themselves tighter and tighter, making it difficult to breathe.And this girl, from the first meeting, has always been so positive, optimistic and healthy.Even if she was involved in such a terrible case and almost caused her death, she still smiled so innocently, as if none of this could knock her down.

If he put a thick shell on his shackles, closing his life and heart, then Michelle's appearance is like a ray of sunshine, radiating her own light, waiting for him to finally crack One day, moisten the deeply imprisoned heart.

It has to be said that he has always had a good impression of her.The reason why she refused before was mainly because she was afraid that she would misunderstand her feelings for her, and also because she was afraid that she would delay such a beautiful girl like her.

But now... Hotch took off his jacket, put it on his arm, and looked at Michelle who was running and frolicking with Jack on the lawn not far away.The girl's hearty smile was shining brightly, and it was so warm, so warm that I felt that this temperature was about to burn me.

Hotch lowered his eyes and let out a chuckle, why bother to watch from afar here, the sun is better to chase by himself, striding forward with strides.

On this side of the grass, for the first time, Michelle, who completely forgot that Hotch was there and was having a frenzy with Jack, really liked this sensible and good baby.It's just a super cute baby!Evoked all my maternal feelings, will this be like a strange aunt? Michelle was thinking about it, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jack staggered and was about to fall.And there happened to be a sharp small stone in front of it!

"Jack be careful!!" Michelle suddenly felt that she was in a cold sweat, and rushed forward recklessly, hugging the bewildered little Jack.

Completely ignoring the dull pain of falling to the ground, Michelle anxiously helped Jack up from her arms, "Did you fall somewhere, Jack? Did it hurt anywhere?"

Little Jack shook his head obediently, "No, I'm fine." His worried little eyes glanced at the person in front of him who cared deeply about him, "Aunt Michelle, do you have any pain? I'll blow it off for you." He pursed his small mouth cutely, and pressed it close to Michelle's cheeks, puffing out his cheeks from time to time and blowing.

In this way, Michelle's aunt's upper body is so cute, "No, no, I won't hurt if Jack blows me up, it's great! Thank you!" Michelle's age weakened in an instant, and she continued to beg for comfort with red eyes. .

So, seeing this scene and rushing over, Hotch saw such a cute scene, big and small, and felt that it seemed a bit redundant to come to the rescue immediately, and Hotch was a little bit dumbfounded.

After waiting quietly for a while, Hotch had to separate the mentally handicapped game duo who had gradually turned into blowing each other and occasionally kissing and hugging each other, "Jack, don't keep pestering Auntie, let Daddy see if Auntie is hurt first .”

Seeing Jack obediently break free from her embrace, and stood at attention in the bushes nearby, Michelle cast a reproachful glance at Hotch, but she didn't realize that her hair was scattered in a mess because of the madness, and it was more like staring than she was cooperating. It was a winking look, which looked extra lazy and sexy, but it made Hotch who was standing aside startled for a moment.

Beauty winks like silk, but that's all.

"What's the matter with me..." Michelle, mumbling and complaining that Hotch made a big fuss, straightened up, only to find a sharp pain in her right ankle, "Oh!"

"Be careful!" Hotch, who was paying attention all the time, immediately stepped forward to support him, his petite body fit perfectly in the man's tough embrace, and both of them recalled that scene in the office at the same time. With a smile on the corner of Hotch's mouth, he looked down at the girl in his arms who was flushed with embarrassment and refused to look up - but this time he didn't let go so quickly.

Looking from a distance, the tall and handsome man was holding a charming girl in his arms, and beside him stood a pink and white dumpling looking up at them.What a perfect family, passers-by are silently sighing in their hearts.

Michelle leaned against Hotch's arms silently, the faint smell of shaving water on the man's body drifted over with the wind, and she didn't notice it at all at ordinary times, as expected she had to be so close to smell it. Michelle felt the hard touch of the strong and powerful muscles under her T-shirt, her figure is really good!Thinking of this, she blushed even more, and Michelle could even feel the warmth of the other's palm on her waist spreading along the clothes.This kind of heat seems to be continuously coming from the place where the two meet, and it travels all over his body, as if he is about to be scalded...
