I also have put in my own character (Bethany) who plays JJ's 15 year old daughter. -
I rolled over onto my side, facing my handsome boyfriend. I was so lucky to have him. I couldn't dream of a better life to be in. I glanced up towards the clock, it was 5:30am. I had an hour until I had to be in work. These early mornings were talking there toll on me. I love my job, don't get me wrong but the 5:30 morning rise was deffinately not something I look forward to doing every morning. The ongoing thought of breakfast quickly got me on my feet. If I wanted to get these leftover pancakes I was going to have to beat Bethany to them. It was now 5:45am. Hotch would already be in his office, why he would do that voluntarily I have no idea. I'd much rather savour that extra hour in bed. Even if all i was doing was dreading the 5:30am rise. I was just about to dig into my pancakes when Bethany appeared round the corner, the look on her face said it all.
"Mum c'mon those were my pancakes, you wouldn't be knicking Will or Henry's pancakes would you? Besides my day at school is way more stressful than yours", I quickly snatched the plate from her grasp, no way was she getting to eat my pancakes.
Quickly, I bundled them into my mouth, glancing towards the weetabix in the corner. "Well Mum you could always have some of them, I know how much your boyfriend loves them". Just as I was about to blurt out a novel of reasons as to why I don't like Will the sound of the school bus echoed through my street, my rant would just have to wait. I'm sure she already knows how much I don't like him anyway. In my eyes she couldn't picked a man more annoying than him but if she's happy I suppose I'll just have to deal with it.
"Eh Bethany did you not here that, I'm pretty sure that loud horn is the sign for you to go to school now, so away you go," JJ teased. "Mum I'm not feeling too good, I think I need to have today off. I might infect the whole school," Bethany stated. "Oh you poor soul, I really feel for you," JJ explained, as she was pushing Bethany out the door. "Have a fun day at school Bethany, Mum loves you!" "Mum..." Bethany moaned at the embarrasment her Mum had caused her, her cheeks flushed with a bright redness. JJ turned around just as Henry leaped towards her. "Hey big guy, want some pancakes? Don't tell Bethany though yeah?" JJ pulled out a packet of pancakes from underneath the sink. Henry was patiently waiting, tapping his fingers on the bunker. "Henry where's Daddy?" JJ asked, realising Will still wasn't up. "In bed Mummy, he's lazy" "Ok, here you go Henry and make sure you finish it all." She placed the plate infront of Henry, casually glancing out towards the window. She felt uneasy, as if someone was watching her but didn't want to worry her family. I'm sure it's nothing JJ, I thought to myself. Just me being over paranoid as usual. This is what happens when you lead the kind of life I have.
I walked into my bedroom, Will was spralled out across our bed. Looking very comfotable. "Hey Will I've got to head off to work now. See you later," JJ stated. "Hey come here, what's up you seem bothered by something?" Will questioned. "Oh it's nothing, it doesn't matter," JJ said as she leaned in for a kiss. Will was arguing with himself about whether to press on or just leave it, if it was something important and something bad happened he'd never forgive himself but if it was nothing he'd look really stupid. If it's something bad she'll tell me herself, I'll give her space.
I grapped my credentials and headed out the door. Yet again that feeling of uneasyness overtook me. C'mon JJ pull yourself together, nobody is there. What's come over myself today.
Behind a bush I waited. I can't believe its been 10 years since i've seen them. Beautiful Jennifer, her golden hair shinning in the sunlight. Her smile stretched across her face, from ear to ear. That everylasting sparkle in her blue eyes the same one she shared with her daughter. Little Bethany had certainly grown since he'd last seen her but she was still as beautiful as ever. Her long fair hair a shade darker than he remembered. She wasn't as tall as he hoped either, obviously she had inherited her Mother's short height but he could live with that, she was perfect. They both were. As soon as that scum of a boyfriend and the little brat were out the way he'd have his girls back. Back where they belong.
At the BAU~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You're early JJ" Morgan teased. "Where's the coffee? Please tell me we have coffee?" " woah yeah we have coffee, what's up with you?" Emily asked, a little worried. "I'm fine, just need coffee." JJ stated as she reached for one of the giant cups.
Thank god for coffee, my life saviour. "Rough morning?" Emily asked. "You have no idea, first my pancakes get stolen from Bethany then I'm just about late because Will wouldn't get out of his bed." Emily and Morgan just looked at eachother, they knew this wasn't what was bothering her but couldn't just pinpoint what was. Hotch then stormed through the room, "We've got another case. Conference room in 5." "Well that's our que to go, another case. Just hope it's not a bad one." "Doubt that JJ, he avoided eye contact. This is bound to be a bad one." "Right okay Mr Profiler." JJ said, kind of annoyed at him with his response. Morgan watched her walk away, something's got to be annoying her Prentiss. She never snaps at me.
In the conference room~~~~~~~
Right guys, over the past month 8 bodies have appeared over the beaches. Each in pairs. A woman aged between 30-35, blonde hair and quite petite and a young girl. Fair hair aged between 12-16. "Mother and daughter?" Reid asked. "Yeah although the 3rd victims; Laura and Jessica Hannah were Aunt and niece. We believe it was a mistake though and the suspect thought they were Mother and Daughter." JJ replied. "Any signs of sexual assault?" Rossi asked. "Yes all eight were sexually and physically abused, the Mothers got it worse though. They all show signs of burns, drowning, rape and they were all restrained." "Hey it looks like they've been specifically placed like that in the dump site, like remorse. As if they were just asleep. Something tells me this man doesn't want to kill these woman." Emily stated. "It's like if they don't play alone with what he's talking about then they die." Aaron said. JJ looked up at the pictures, she felt the hairs on her arms and the back of her neck stand up. Something about this seemed familiar.
