We just came back from a hard case. The unsub, Jake Cullen, had been raping and killing 10 6 year old kids. I could see that we all had a hard time dealing with this case, so when Morgan asked who was going for a drink after work, I was tempted to say yes and forget everything for a while. But I said no, I had a lot of paperwork to do and honestly I just wanted to see Henry and play scrabble against Phoenix. I knew that would help just as good, maybe even better and most likely I wouldn't have a headache tomorrow.
After two hours I was thinking how I could make the paperwork disappear. It seemed like my stack had become bigger instead of smaller. When I looked on the clock the next time it was 5 o'clock, so I had been working in a daze for two hours, I could finally go home and somehow I managed to make half of my stack disappear.
When I was on my way to leave the office, Derek said: "you sure, you don't want to come and drink something?"
"I am sure"
"Oh, come on, just one?"
"No, I just want to go home and see my son."
"But just one and you can be home on time to tuck him in, everyone else is coming."
"Even Hotch?"
"Even Hotch, so what do you say?" and he gave me a hopeful smile
"Very tempting, but no."
"Why not, Will can handle watching Henry alone a little longer, right?"
"That is not the point, I am going home and play with my son and there is nothing you can say or do to let me change my mind."
"Okay, okay, I give up, but make sure to give him a hug from uncle Derek."
" I'll do that" and sarcastically added "Thank you for accepting my decision."
"You're welcome" he replied playfully "See you Monday and don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"I'll keep that in mind" I said while giving him a wink and waving my goodbye.
After texting Will that I was coming to get Henry, I started my car. While driving to Will's house, I dreaded the conversation that I knew would come. I was thinking of answers I could give to him.
When I arrived and stood for the door after ringing the doorbell, I heard Henry ask "Is that mommy?" I only heard a muffled response coming from Will. Roughly five seconds later the door opened and Henry jumped in my arms, I could catch him just on time, he said "I missed you"
I said "I missed you to, but you can't open the door before asking who is there and you have to wait until there is an adult with you and I'm sure daddy told you the same thing a couple seconds ago."
But with the logic that only a seven years old can have, he replied "But I knew it was you 'cause you texted daddy and I could feel it was you."
Just after he said that Will came to the door and said "I told you to wait, didn't I Henry"
Henry replied "Sorry daddy, but I was just excited to see mommy"
"And that is okay, but you have to be careful, so will you wait the next time and ask who is for the door?"
"Yes, sorry dad."
"Okay, little man, can you pack your stuff upstairs?"
And as soon as the words left Will's mouth, he was out of my arms and running up the stairs. I could hear him say "yes, new record!"
Will and I both laughed because his antics.
Will said "Can we talk?"
I sighed and said "Sure"
We went to his living room and sat on the couch. I was waiting for him to start once again the conversation I dreaded.
