It was just that time of the year. The time of the year you loved. The time of the year where it was acceptable to wear joggers and a hoodie all day. It was Christmas.

There was going to be a little dinner at Rossi's house on Christmas eve. And what he describes as "a big blow out" for new years. No one was objecting to music and liquor. But Christmas day was all yours. This was the first Christmas you were able to spend with Aaron. He had told you that he and Jack have traditions. It warmed your heart when he asked if you would like to join them. He had shown you pictures of them two together in their matching pjs.

When Christmas eve finally came around. Jack circled around the tree trying to figure out the right gift to open. Aaron had promised him that he could only open one gift in the morning, and he sure as hell didn't forget. He had picked one of the lego sets you had gotten him. Aaron hated the thing because he would leave one piece on the floor and Aaron would somehow manage to step on it.

He gave you a side glance as Jack ripped open the box and started building something. You helped him assemble breakfast.

The day went by annoyingly fast. You were in the bathroom getting ready for Rossi's party. You were finishing your makeup when you heard the bedroom door close. You poked your head out to see Aaron standing by the dresser. He was wearing the match pajamas. A red and white striped shirt and green pants. You leaned against the door frame and watched him rummage through his drawer. When he finally found what he was looking for he brought it over to you.

It was a small back box that had a black bow on it. Once he handed it to you, you unraveled the string and opened it. When you got a good look at what it was you quickly closed it and your jaw dropped.

"What is this?" You bit your lower lip and looked up at him.

"Remember when we came home from the case in Iowa?" He ducked his head down to kiss your neck. You smiled when you realized what he was talking about.

It was a 2-hour flight back home and you were feeling some kind of way. A way only Aaron could make you feel. And since you were on the jet it couldn't be solved any time soon. But then you remembered one day when you were bored at home, you threw on one of Aaron button-ups. It was so big that it went down to your mid-thigh.

You went to your kitchen to grab one of your dining room chairs. You placed it in front of your full-length mirror. You undid the first few buttons on his white button-down. Placing your legs on either side of the wall the mirror was on and you took a picture. Adjusting the shirt to show more cleavage you took another picture. Taking your legs off the wall you placed them on either side of the chair you leaned forward so your boob was almost out of the shirt. You let the shirt fall down your shoulder and took another picture.

In the moment there was no use for the pictures, but as you sat on the jet they seemed to be of some use. You scrolled through your camera roll you finally found them. Your finger hovered over the send buttons.

Maybe this isn't the right place.

You thought. You looked up to see Aaron was across the jet focused on some papers.

Fuck it.

You pressed send and watched from the corner of your eye. You watched him pull out his phone and unlock it. He tried to control his expression but he wasn't doing such a good job. When you saw him typing something you picked up your phone.

"What are you doing?"

Instead of responding you just sent another picture. Looking up to see his reaction- he was looking straight at you. You licked your bottom lip and looked back down at your phone.

"Y/N we're still at work."

Another picture was sent. You could hear the sound of a file closing.

"You're going to come over the second we land"

You smile and shut your phone off.

Mission successful.

The second you landed you got in your car and drove to Aaron's house. Had somehow beat you there. You only knock once before he opened the door. You grabbed your waist and pulled you inside. He kissed you roughly before picking you up and carrying you to his bed. He threw you onto his bed and ripped your shirt open. The sound of buttons hitting the ground made you smile.

You created this and you have no regrets. Yanking your pants down, he grabbed the waistband of your panties and pulled harder than either of you had thought. You heard a loud rip and your jaw dropped.

"I will get you new ones." He said and went back to kissing you.

"Yeah, I remember." You said breathly.

"You remember when I said I would buy you new ones." He kissed your jaw.

"I didn't think you were serious about that." You said and kissed his lips.

"I'm always serious." He pulled away from your lips. You opened the box back up and pulled out the black lace panties that were nicely folded in the box.

"You know what's even better to think about?" You asked and held out the panties between the two of you.

"What's that?" He asked and wrapped his arms around your sides and brought you closer.

"The thought of you," You kissed him. "Going into some store," You kissed him again. "To get these," You kissed him again. "You probably had every lady in the place staring at you."

"Yeah, I had some eyes on me." He mumbled between kisses.

"Mmm, and you come home as you're all mine." You wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

He lifted you onto the bathroom counter. He took his place between your legs. His hands trailed up and down your outer thigh. You moaned into his mouth when he put one hand down your pants. He pressed his thumb against your clit. You pulled at the roots of his hair. His finger teased your entrance. As he pressed a finger inside you, you moaned into his mouth.

His thumb continued to rub you clit. It was taking everything in you to stay quiet. You took you lips off of his and buried your head into the side of his neck. He pace of her fingers quickened. You fingers curled in his hair when the knot in your stomach started to build.

He took his free hand and lifted your chin so your eyes were on him. He eye contact was too much for you to handle. You could feel your walls close around his finger. Before you could moan out his lips were on your absorbing the sound. He kept thrusting his finger letting you ride out your orgasm.

When you could feel your breathes even out you pulled your lips off his. You smiled and threw your head on his shoulder. Before you could say something there was a small knock at the door.

"I guess that's our cue to go." You whimpered when he pulled his hand out. He rinsed his head before he left the bathroom.

You jumped off the counter and looked at the underwear that was still in your hand. You folded it back up and placed it back in the box. You walked over to the dresser. Aaron had set aside a drawer just for you. You put it on top of your other underwear and walked out to the living room.

Jack was in the middle of begging his dad to open another gift. You listened as he told Jack he had to wait until the next morning. You all proceeded to put your shoes and coats on getting ready for Rossi extravaganza.

In the car ride over you all jammed it to some class Christmas music. Singing "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" at the top of your lungs. You sang "All I Want For Christmas" in a soft tone while holding Aaron's hand. The sing-along continued until the car stopped in front of Rossi's house. He had put out Christmas lights around his house. There were candy cane lights that lined the sidewalk up to his front door. He opened the door with a big smile.

He's getting some and I wanna know who she is.

You walked into the living room and everyone's jaws dropped when they noticed the matching pj's. You did a little spin for everyone to get the full effect.

"How did you get him to wear that?" Emily asked you once you sat down.

"It was his idea." You smiled as you watched Jack's eye light up when he saw how big Rossi's tree was.

"There's no way," Derek said. You didn't even know he was listening to the comment she made.

"Jack gave them to me this morning, he said if I didn't wear them I couldn't come." You wrapped your cardigan around you.

From where you were sitting you could see Rossi slipping away to the kitchen. You excused yourself from the couch and made your way to the kitchen.

"I know I'm sorry, but I'll see you tomorrow." He said. You couldn't see him because you were hiding behind the doorway, but you assumed he was on the phone.

"Ok, I love you too, bye." You heard his phone hit the counter. His cup was close behind it. Deciding this was the best time to make yourself known, you poke your head into the kitchen to see he was leaning his hands on the counter. You crossed your arms over your chest and walked closer to him.

"So who's the lucky lady?" You asked once you got close enough. He didn't even seem surprised that you were listening to his phone call.

"Krystall." He answered.

"Wife number 3. That's interesting." You smiled.

"She's upset with me because I didn't invite her over to meet the team." He said and stirred his pasta.

"Why didn't you?" You followed him around the kitchen.

"I just think it's too soon, we've only been back together for 8 months." He shrugged.

"8 months and she hasn't met the team, I'd be upset too. It's not shocking she wants to meet the people you spend every waking second with." He sighed and stared at the pot on the stove. "Ok look, I can't guarantee that we won't tease you or her- by 'we' I mean Emily, Derek, and I." You both knew that when it came to teasing you three were the best of the best. "But you have seemed very happy these past few months, I say bring her to the new year's party- but that's just one person's opinion." You held up your hands in defense.

He thanked you by hugging you. You both returned to the living room.

~~~~~

When it was finally time to go home you were exhausted, you had chased around Jack and Henry the house at some point. Not to mention that you eat some much pasta it felt like you gained 3 pounds. Jack was fast asleep in the back seat and your eyes were starting to get heavy but you wouldn't let yourself sleep.

"I'll wake you up when we get home," Aaron said and patted your leg.

"I'm fine." You waved him off and rested your head on the headrest. Before you drifted to sleep you heard him say something about having a surprise for you when you got home.

He does know it's not Christmas yet, right?

You opened your eyes just in time to see that you were pulling into Aaron's driveway. You reluctantly got out of the car and went to open the front door so Aaron could get Jack to bed. You took off your jacket and waddled over to Aaron's room. Your eyes instantly shut when you turned the bedroom light on. Walking over to the bed to pull back the covers you saw another box on your pillow. Looking to the doorway you saw Aaron standing there. You raised your eyebrows and picked it up. Pulling the lid up you saw what it was.

A key?

"It's a key." You said to him. He nodded his head and walked over to stand next to you. "A key for what?"

"The house." He said simply.

"I already have a key for this house." You said and picked up your keys from the nightstand.

"Not this house." He said and grabbed your hips and pulled you closer.

"I'm gonna need more context." You looked up to him and back down at the key.

"Rossi has been helping me look for a new house, and we finally found one. It has a lot of space for Jack and me, maybe too much space. So this is me asking you if you want to move in with us." His eyes were fixated on your face. You were silent longer than you had thought because he has started to pull away. You were quick to pull his head down and kiss his lips.

"Of course I want to live with you." You said and watch as the smile on his face grew twice as big.

~~~~~

There was little to no time wasted when it came to you moving in. The whole teamed helped even though the temperature was unforgivable. To warm everyone up you made some coffee. You're two spent the next two days unpacking and getting everything in order.

Over the next week, you were still getting used to the fact that this was also your house. You had gotten used to having to leave at some point.Now, this was your house and you didn't have to leave.

It was new year's eve and you were getting ready for Rossi's party. He had mentioned a dress code. Rossi was not one for casual clothing. Only when it came to Christmas when everyone wore pajamas.

You had dug in the back of the closet and found a deep red thin-strapped dress. It flowed to your ankles. It hugged the curves of your body but still left room for you to eat at Rossi's. Aaron had a shirt that matched the color of your dress. You had decided that you all were gonna matching. You had gotten Jack a button-up shirt that looked just like his dad's.

"You two look adorable." You said once you took a picture of them together. Walking over to Aaron you showed him the picture. "I don't understand why your wearing a tie." You said and started to undo it.

"I always wear a tie." He said and grabbed your hands.

"That's exactly why you shouldn't wear one now." You pulled it over his head. You guided him to the mirror that was in your room. You stepped in front of him and undid the first few buttons on his shirt.

"Yeah, that feels better." He smiled and looked at you in the mirror. You were still facing him. Throwing his tie on the bed your adjusted his collar. "I love you." He said and wrapped his arm around you.

"I love you." You smiled. "Ok, we have to go because Rossi is still holding a grudge because I was late for the dinner party." You pushed him out of the bedroom door and to the front door. You and Jack ran through the sidewalk and to the car.

~~~~~

The first thing you saw when you walked into Rossi's house was several champagne bottles lined up.

"Oh I'm gonna hate myself tomorrow," You said.

"That's what happens when you drink with me," Rossi said and moved to hug you. When Jack had run off to play with Henry, Aaron lift his hand and rested it on your back. "There's someone I'd like you two to meet." You watched as he walked to the living room. He came back with a blond woman. "This is Krystall." He said as they got closer.

"You do listen to me." You smiled as you looked between Rossi and Krystall.

"It's nice to finally meet you, y/n right?" She asked as she reached out her hand.

"Yeah, and unlike Reid, I'm a hugger." You leaned in and hugged her.

"It's nice you see you again Aaron." She said and gave a small smile to Aaron.

"You knew that they were- oh I'm gonna kill both of you." You said. Aaron's eyes widened, before he could defend himself he slipped away to the kitchen.

Rossi walks both of you back to the living room where everyone was seated. Everyone had a dated- even Reid. You assumed that she was Maeve. He would talk to you about her at length. She was glued to his side she had short brown hair and clear framed glass similar to yours. She was wearing a purple dress that stopped at her mid-thigh.

Penelope was dressed in her normal bright color fashion. She had what looked like sunflowers in her hair. To the side was Luke wearing a tie that without a doubt Penelope picked out so he was matching with her.

Derek and Savannah looking amazing as they always. The scarf that was thrown over her shoulder went along with Derek's button-down.

But when it came down to Emily and JJ. Emily was the one wearing the button-down slacks and you expected nothing less coming from her. The whole time you worked her you only saw her wear a dress once and she complained the entire time.

"Damn you look good," Emily said when she looked up from her conversation she was having with Derek.

"Thank you." You said and felt your cheeks get warm. The room fell silent and everyone's eyes were on you. The unwanted attention made you nervous so you walked over to the couch and took a seat next to JJ.

Everyone went back to their conversation and you felt more comfortable. You were listening in to everyone's conversation when Aaron came up next to you. He handed you a glass of wine. When he sat next to you he placed his hand on your legs that you didn't notice was shaking. He knew that you could get emotional during new years because you had almost ended everything. If you had you wouldn't have been as happy as you are now.

You wouldn't around to start the team. You wouldn't have become best friends with Emily and Derek. You wouldn't skip out on getting beaten up and almost dying in a car accident and those are something you could live without. But you had a great support system when it came to your recovery.

Aaron made you feel safe whenever you came home. He taught you what a healthy relationship is supposed to be. He made you happy on a level that you didn't know existed. When you were in his arms you never felt safer.

This team is more than you could ask for. They weren't just your co-workers they were your family. Your relationship with them didn't end at the office. Going out to dinner with JJ, Emily and Penelope was something that happened on a regular. Training with Derek- even though you would complain every second, would give you a chance to clear your head.

Truth be told you were glad to still be breathing.

~~~~~

"Guys a minute to midnight!" Derek yelled from the living room. You were in the helping Emily and JJ pour the glasses of champagne. Rossi had had the glass laid out but never thought to fill them till the ball was about to drop.

You picked up as many glasses as you could carry and walked into the living room. Handing them out to anyone that was near you handed one to Aaron and stood next to him. He kissed the top of your head as he wrapped his free hand around your waist. Doing the same you got as close as humanly possible.

Derek was in the corner of the room already shaking the champagne bottle because it was 20 seconds to midnight. Looking around the room there were smiles on everyone's face. Everyone had their glasses in their hand ready to embark on the new year and all the memories that will come along with it.

You were all huddled around the TV and watched as the camera guy panned over all the people in New York. You could help to smile and everyone else laughs.

"6!" Emily shouted and everyone's attention was brought back to the TV.

"Here's to cheating, stealing, and drinking. May you cheat death, steal hearts, and always drink with me." Rossi said as you all clicked your glasses together.

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Happy new year!"
