#1: Motion
Their first kiss sets a whole chain of events underway that neither of them can control.
#2: Cool
His body is cool against her own fevered skin as they lie together.
#3: Young
JJ smoothes Henry’s soft blonde hair down, and hopes that he will stay young and innocent forever.
#4: Last
She has never believed in relationships that last forever, but as Hotch gets down on one knee, JJ thinks about changing her mind.
#5: Wrong
Hotch was wrong when he said he could never love again after Hailey.
#6: Gentle
Knowing what his hands are capable of, JJ is always astounded at the way he holds her son.
#7: One
JJ sees the visiting agent eyeing him hungrily and stretches up to whisper ‘I love you’, because she’s never been good at sharing.
#8: Thousand
“I'm going to be late for Henry,” she laughs as Hotch presses the thousandth kiss to her lips.
#9: King
As Garcia places a paper crown on his head, and Hotch watches JJ and the team burst into song, he really does feel like royalty.
#10: Learn
Reid may be a genius with three doctorates, but seeing JJ and Hotch in love, he realizes he still has an awful lot to learn.
#11 Blur
He watches her walk down the aisle towards him, but can’t see her properly for the tears in his eyes.
#12 Wait
Hotch can’t understand why JJ wants to wait to tell the team that they are together; when he sees her putting Henry to bed, he thinks he may have worked it out.
#13 Change
Their first date, JJ almost makes them miss their reservation because she couldn’t decide what to wear.
#14 Command
The way he orders her about shouldn’t make butterflies appear in her stomach but it does.
#15 Hold
“It’s alright,” he soothes as his arms circle around her waist.
#16 Need
JJ never lets anybody see her vulnerable; Hotch always seems to know anyway.
#17 Vision
When she appears at the top of the staircase in a red dress, Hotch hears his breath catch and his tongue suddenly feels three sizes too big for his mouth.
#18 Attention
He doesn’t mean to, but whenever JJ walks into the room Hotch can’t help but sit up and pay attention.
#19 Soul
Hotch starts to question whether there is any difference between him and the people they lock up - JJ wraps her arms around him and tells him that he's a good person, no matter what.
#20 Picture
Garcia sees Hotch and JJ stealing a private moment and is thankful for the camera in her bag.
#21 Fool
“You’re an idiot,” she says when he tells her he was surprised that she accepted his proposal.
#22 Mad
He can’t remember why she’s mad at him- Hotch is more concerned with the fact that he upset her in the first place.
#23 Child
“I always shake the presents,” Hotch protests when JJ walks into their living room to find him sitting beside the Christmas tree.
#24 Now
A breathy plea escapes her lips just when he slides into her, and he wants this moment to last forever.
#25 Shadow
As he trails kisses down her body, there are shadows skittering over his skin.
#26 Goodbye
The car door shuts and Jack’s little hand appears at the window, and Hotch remembers that he hates goodbyes.
#27 Hide
The one thing Hotch never understands is why he is the only person JJ allows to see the real her.
#28 Fortune
When JJ suggests they start playing the lottery, Hotch tightens his arm around her waist and tells her that they don’t need to - he’s already the richest man on Earth.
#29 Safe
“You’re OK,” she says breathlessly, her hands resting on his chest as dust begins to settle around them.
#30 Ghost
JJ curls into Hotch’s side, closing her eyes tight against the haunted dreams that continue to plague her night times.
#31 Book
Hotch stares at the little black book sitting on her desk and wonders how a diary can hold so much power.
#32 Eye
Hotch may have the best poker face she’s ever seen, but JJ soon works out that his eyes never lie.
#33 Never
“I worry that you’ll find somebody better,” she whispers; Hotch tells her that it isn’t possible.
#34 Sing
She really does make things brighter, he thinks to himself as he hears her voice from the bathroom.
#35 Sudden
“Are you sure?” Rossi asks as Hotch pulls the engagement ring out of his pocket.
#36 Stop
It was on the third date that Hotch realized kissing her was an effective way to get her to stop talking.
#37 Time
When JJ stretches up to place a soft kiss to his lips, everything around him seems to slow down into nothingness.
#38 Wash
“Let me get your back,” JJ teases, stepping into the shower behind him.
#39 Torn
The first time they’re in the field together, Hotch intentionally sends JJ with Morgan and Rossi because if things came down to it, he doesn’t trust himself to make the right decision.
#40 History
JJ worries that Hotch is still in love with Hailey even though he promises her that he’s not.
#41 Power
Hotch soon realizes that being in charge means more when you have somebody at home to appreciate it with you.
#42 Bother
Each time they argue, she always wonders why she bothers being with him; each time he slides into bed beside her and apologizes, she remembers.
#43 Wall
It took him a while, but Hotch eventually manages to let down his defenses and take her out to dinner.
#44 Naked
When she’s lying in his bed, moonlight reflecting off her bare skin, Hotch fights the temptation to burn all her clothes.
#45 Drive
Seeing her huddled over her desk every day, Hotch wonders what makes her so dedicated.
#46 Harm
“You can’t protect me all the time,” she says as she straps on her gun and badge.
#47 Precious
Each moment they spend together makes up for the years they spent apart, and JJ wouldn’t change them for the world.
#48 Hunger
JJ smirks and strips down to her underwear, knowing that there’s only so long he can pretend to ignore her.
#49 Believe
With what they see every day, Hotch and JJ have to believe that it’s not too late to save each other from the dark that continuously threatens to take over.
#50 God
Swearing to love her unconditionally, with God as his witness, was the easiest thing Hotch has ever had to do.
