#1: Ring
The silver band on her finger is a constant reminder that she belongs to him and no one else.
#2: Hero
Hotch worries that Jack will grow up to resent him for never being there; JJ tells him that could never happen, because he is his son’s hero.
#3: Memory
She will always remember the smile on his face after she first told him she loved him.
#4: Box
With Will, JJ always used to feel like she was boxed in; with Aaron, she can let herself go.

She always runs when things get difficult, but Aaron Hotchner is the first man to run after her.
#6: Hurricane
When she’s angry, the color of her eyes reminds him of a hurricane.
#7: Wings
The sunlight reflects off the wing of the airplane and turns her hair white from golden.
#8: Cold
The first time they argue, Hotch feels a coldness that doesn’t go away until JJ knocks on his door.

“I love you,” she whispers and watches a red blush creep into his cheeks.

Four glasses of Southern Comfort is what it takes for JJ to press an uncertain kiss to his lips.

They stay up until midnight doing nothing but talking.

Every day, Hotch finds it increasingly difficult to keep his hands off her.

He watches her leave and admires the view.
#14: Music
JJ laughs and it’s music to his ears.
#15: Silk
Her skin is like silk under his touch.
#16: Cover
JJ lets go of an adorable shiver, so he pulls the sheet over her and hugs her back against him.
#17: Promise
“I do,” she says with a smile, and Hotch remembers that she always keeps her promises.
#18: Dream
She’s asleep, but he sees her lips curving up in a smile and hopes it’s him that’s putting it there.
#19: Candle
He watches her from across the room and realizes that no other woman could ever hold a candle to JJ.
#20: Talent
As much as Strauss hates to admit it, nobody could do what they do better than Jennifer Jareau and Aaron Hotchner.
#21: Silence
He tells her he has feelings for her and JJ is too shocked to speak.
#22: Journey
“I never want to go back,” he whispers when he thinks of how far they’ve come.
#23: Fire
He’s head over heels from the moment her fiery temper gets the best of him.
#24: Strength
JJ tangles her fingers around his and Hotch feels some of her strength seep into him.
#25: Mask
When she’s standing in front of the press cameras, he can never tell what is running through her mind.
#26: Ice
Cold fear grips his heart every time she goes out into the field.
#27: Fall
JJ and Hotch joined the FBI to catch the bad guys; falling in love was an added bonus.
#28: Forgotten
Neither of them have had an easy ride but as they hold each other close, all the pain is forgotten.
#29: Dance
Their bodies are pressed tight against each other as they sway to the music.
#30: Body
She smirks, feeling his fingers mapping the curves of her body.
#31: Sacred
Hotch holds their daughter in his arms and realizes nothing is more sacred than the life they created.
#32: Farewells
Each time she has to leave on a case, it gets harder to say goodbye to her son.
#33: World
“You and the boys are everything,” JJ says softly, “my whole world.”
#34: Formal
Aaron Hotchner in a suit makes her heart beat faster; Aaron Hotchner in a tuxedo makes it stop altogether.
#35: Fever
They move together, their bodies hot and hard and fast.
#36: Laugh
Hotch comes home to find JJ and the boys prancing around in their pajamas and can’t help the chuckle that rises up in his throat at her embarrassed blush.
#37: Lies
Her relationship with Will was built on lies; her relationship with Aaron is built on the truths that came as a result.
#38: Forever
There’s no scientific explanation of eternity, but even Reid can see JJ and Hotch are in it for the long run.
#39: Overwhelmed
Hotch drops to one knee in front of their entire department and JJ feels happy tears appear in her eyes.
#40: Whisper
Because of the nightmares, JJ makes sure her soft whispers are the last thing he hears.
#41: Wait
She’s not ready to let another man into her life, but she knows that Hotch will still be there when she is.
#42: Talk
He wasn’t one for words but conversation with JJ came easily.
#43: Search
Everybody has somebody out there who is ‘the one’ - it just took JJ and Hotch longer to find it.
#44: Hope
After Foyet, Hotch wasn’t sure life was worth living, until JJ showed him the light at the end of the tunnel.
#45: Eclipse
JJ never looks better than when he sees her as a paradox - flawless skin, pale and smooth and bathed in moonlight, with the shadows of the room darkening her face.
#46: Gravity
Whenever things get tough, Hotch buries his face against the crook of her neck and lets her hold him to the ground.
#47: Highway
They both hate long journeys along cross-country interstates, but sitting side by side in the SUV doesn’t seem so bad.
#48: Unknown
A relationship is never easy, JJ thinks, but journeying into the unknown is supposed to be part of the fun.
#49: Lock
The first time he learns that there’s far more to JJ than meets the eye, he’s just watched her pick a lock with a safety pin.
#50: Breathe
Hotch holds her sleeping form close to him, his chest rising and falling in time with hers, and is grateful.
