For beginners, I SO CALLED LAST NIGHTS EPISODE! I KNEW JJ and Will would be fighting. It was so good to see Henry back, and it gave me a chance to learn a little more about JJ's character. I've had ideas floating around in my head since then, but I'm just now getting the chance to write. So this fanfic is going to focus on JJ and Will :3 I GUESS I'm ok with him. I'll just live in my fantasy world where JJ and Reid are together. Will is kind of her, and she seems to love him, so I guess I'll live x_X
This follows directly after There's No Place Like Home, picking up with JJ coming home the next day. Review, let me know what you think. Anonymous reviews are now on :3 Also, sorry if some of my paragraphs are structured weird. I took journalism for a year and I'm still trying to get out of the habit of writing in short, to the point paragraphs xP

JJ sighed, wishing she could have got home ealier. Their flight had been delayed again this morning and when they finally boarded it was nearly two. They ate lunch together before heading back to the office, finishing their reports. She had finally left at eight, and now it was nearly nine. She sighed, knowing Henry would already be down for the night.

She unlocked the door, walking into the dim house. A lamp was on in the living room, but that was it. She locked the door behind her, then carried her bags down the hall way to the laundry room. She was relieved to find the washer was empty, so she dumped the contents of her go bag in it before starting it up.

"Clean clothes," She sighed with relief, grabbing some clothes out of the dryer. She carried them upstairs before taking a quick shower and for a moment it felt as if she had washed her worries away. But as soon as the water was cut off, reality caught up to her again. She got dressed with a sigh, throwing her dirty clothes in the hamper.

"Mommy?" Henry stood in the wall way, blanket in hand. JJ ran forward and scooped him up in a hug, clutching him to her chest.

"Hey little guy!" She fought back tears, burying her face in his hair.

"Why cry mommy?" He frowned at her.

"I'm just happy to see you," She smiled, kissing the top of his head. "I missed you!"

"I miss you too," He giggled, wrapping his arms around her neck.

"Are you feeling better?" She asked, carrying him back towards his room.

"Yep! The medicine was icky," he wrinkled his nose, making JJ laugh.

"I imagine it was. What are you doing up handsome?" She patted his back.

"I was waiting for you to come home," He laid his head on her shoulder. She smiled, squeezing him.

"Where's daddy?"

"Asleep. He told me to sleep. But I waited."

"I'm glad," She laid him down in his bed, tucking him in. "But it's time to go to sleep, ok?"

"Okay." He snuggled under the blankets, holding his stuffed animal close. JJ made sure his night light was plugged in before kissing his forehead and turning the light off. "Night mommy."

"Night bud," She smiled. "I love you."

"Love you too," He yawned, closing his eyes.

JJ smiled before half shutting his door and walking down the hall to their own room. Will was sprawled across their bed and JJ could tell he was exhausted. His shoes and shirt were thrown on the floor, but he still had on his jeans. She smiled before sitting down, running her hands over his back. "Will."

"Hmm?" He asked, his voice deep and gruff with sleep.

"Wake up," She smiled.

"I am awake," he chuckled, rolling over onto his back. He smiled at her, glad she was finally home.

"Sorry about not being able to come home sooner," She sighed, lying down before placing her head on his chest.

"It's alright darlin," He kissed the top of her head. "I understand."

"Maybe I shouldn't have gone back."

"Jay?" He looked down at her.

"Yeah?" She sighed.

"Do you love your job?"

"Well, yeah."

"Do you love your team?"

"Of course. We are family."

"Do you enjoy what you do?"

"Yes."

"Then you made the choice that was right for you. If you're happy, I'm happy. Everything will work itself out." He gave her a squeeze.

"Thanks Will," She smiled, lacing her hand through his.

"Should be me that's thankin you."

"For what," JJ looked at him curiously.

"For putting up with me, giving us Henry, being there, lovin me, lovin Henry-"

She cut him off with a kiss, laughing. "I think I get the point." She ran a hand over his stuble before smirking. "You need to shave old man."

"You know ya like it," He chuckled, closing his eyes once again. "Night sugar."

"Good night, Will." She smiled and gave him one last kiss. "I love you."

"Love you more." He smiled before drifting off. JJ curled close to him, never more relieved to be home and with the people she loved.

This was one big story, but I am breaking it up, so chapter 2 is already wrote. You'll have to wait for 3 :D
