Y'know, even though I'm a slasher, and even though Hotch and Gideon really ARE Mom and Dad, I still can't bend my brain enough to make them a sexual couple. (And I can bend my brain to make ANYONE a gay couple.) I see them as really good friends, and they were both single (actually, I can see Hotch being divorced still, so maybe that's where we fit Haley and Jack in? More on that later.) and they wanted kids, and in one of those weird fits of logic that aren't actually logical at all, they decided to get married and take care of foster kids, because Hotch knows the system from being a prosecutor, and Gideon knows the system from being a professor-profiler and seeing way too many broken homes, and they figure they can at least provide a better home than a serial killers.
On Haley and Jack- as I mentioned earlier, I can see Hotch being divorced like in canon, but it being a slightly more amicable divorce. And Jack gets to come visit once a month, maybe some more, and the kids get a little insecure about those visits because, well, Jack is his biological son, and they're not related to Hotch at all, and... fill in insecure feelings *here*. But your idea is good too, I can see it both ways.
Oh yes. That is the perfect opening. It will be. (Though, not all of the stories may happen in order, because I can't write sequentially. As a warning. You might have to write the first one. I'll probably end up writing Hotch's funeral or something... :D)
(Dammit, I'm supposed to be packing!)
(Mum loves CM so much that she made me watch it with her instead of packing. We're almost done with the third season! [Although, admittedly, we didn't watch the first season together, and I kinda skipped five episodes of the second season and three of the third...])
