So this is the follow up to Together, I hope you all like this fic as much as you all seemed to like "together". There will be more general family life in this one as well as sone other stuff I have planned. Please keep reviewing, I love all this juice comments I received on together and I hope to get them again on this :D
"Buddy you have to take this medicine, it will make you feel better." I said trying to coax Henry to take some calpol. He had been ill for a few days now, he had been sick and had an awful cough, I felt really bad that I hadn't been there for him whilst he was ill, but that was about to change now.
"No mummy" Henry said sternly, it seemed almost like his terrible twos had come early.
"I know it's yucky little man but otherwise you will have to go to the doctor and maybe even get a injection." The look of horror on Henry's face was a picture, he quickly changed his mind at the thought of getting an injection.
"Okay mummy."
Henry screwed up his face as he swallowed the medicine.
"Anyway Buddy you need your sleep, goodnight" I blew him a kiss as I walked towards the door and turned off the light.
"Goodnight Mummy".
"Will we need to talk" I said walked into the kitchen after putting Henry to bed.
"What's up Jen?"
"Well you know Strauss mentioned about relocating to the pentagon?"
"Yeah, you dismissed it because you didn't want to leave the team"
"Yeah... Well today was my last day in the BAU" I admitted almost crying.
"What? But you didn't want to go..." Will seemed confused.
"I didn't, Strauss forced me. It looks good on her if she gets someone transferred to he pentagon and let's be honest she is only looking out for herself" as I told Will he gave me a hug.
"Everything happens for a reason Jen and this was you Will be able to spend more time with Henry."
"I know and I'm happy about that but I still wish I hadn't left my team, they are like my family. But ideas its better pay and better hours... It is a great job so I guess I should be happy." I faked a smile, I felt quite selfish talking about this to Will. After all, he had moved states when I got pregnant leaving all of his friends and family behind and I was complaining about a job transfer in the same city thay i would probably be in more than usual, which mean I got to spend more time with my boyfriend and son. I hugged Will again burying my head in his chest.
"Jen what else is up?"
"Nothing... It's just this time of year"
"I know Jen, I know" Will said hugging me. It was almost 2 years since Brad and Amanda were killed and Adriana was taken. We had never found Adriana and besides the letter we received from the Unsub a few weeks after she was taken we had had no more contact with the unsub. The unsub had gone dormant since they had taken Adriana and we had no ideas on her whereabouts.
"You know, I don't have nightmares that often anymore. I just hate the fact I couldn't do anything when she went missing, I mean I'm going to look for her until the day I die but I just wish I could have worked that case."
"You can't beat yourself up about it Jen, the team wasn't asked to work the case and even if it was you were 7 months pregnant at the time, you couldn't have done anything."
"In my head I know that but I just wish I did."
"Anyway we've got our own family now and we're going to raise henry and any other child we have knowing about their uncle, aunt and Big Cousin. Yeh?" He rubbed my arm trying to make me feel better.
"I wouldn't want anything less, I guess I just want some answers, I want whoever did it to pay, I just feel like I failed Brad"
"Jen, you didn't fail anyone, you've fought for them and maybe one day you will get answers."
"I sure hope so."
We walked slowly into the living room, Will with his arm wrapped firmly yet softly around me. As we sat on the sofa he kissed my neck, every time he kissed me I got a warm floating feeling inside my stomach, a bit like butterflies only different. I nestled my head into the crook of Will's neck and just kept it there.
"I love moments like this" I admitted.
"So do I" Will said as he kissed me more passionately.
"Upstairs?" I asked him, he knew what I was implying.
"Sure thing!" He said excitedly as we made for the door. We had just made it to the top of the stairs when we heard Henry start to cry.
"I guess that's us over for the night." Will said sounding disappointed.
"Yeah, I'll go see to him" I said kissing Will in a short way as more of a parting kiss.
"Hey Buddy, Don't cry". I said trying to sooth Henry, he kept coughing and crying in between coughs. "Hey bud, sit up it will stop you coughing, do you want a drink."
"Yes please mummy. Special cup" he was going through a phase where he would only drink out of the cup Garcia had got him from her holiday to London. It had a big red bus on and a beefeater, I swear this cup was Henry's most prized possession.
"No problem" I said to him, I shouted to Will, "Will, can you get Henry a drink in his special cup."
"Coming right up" Will shouted on his way to the kitchen.
"Do you want me to read you a story buddy"
"Yes please mummy."
"Okay pick one"
"Baby star" he shouted excitedly, it was no surprise, he loved that book the most I must have read it to him the last 10 times a read him a story.
"okay lie back down again." He had stopped coughing now and looked tired, I hoped if he laid down he would fall asleep before the end of the story.
"Bed time for baby star, Once there was a baby star. He lived up near the sun. And every night at bedtime that baby star wanted to have some fun he would shine and shine and fall and shot and twinkle oh so bright and he said Mommy, I'll run away if you make me say goodnight. And then his mommy kissed his sparkly nose and said, no matter where you go, no matter where you are, no matter how big you grown and even if you strange far
I'll love you forever, because you're always my baby star." My plan had worked, he was now sound asleep, Will had fetched his drink but he was too late and Henry was already sleep. Will just stood in the door way watching the two of us.
"I love moments like this" Will said, copying my exact words from earlier.
