AN: Alright so last night's episode sucked. I wanted to hate Carolyn so badly because well, we all know my obsession with Dave, but I bawled like a baby the last five minutes. That poor poor family. Anyway, we know me. Dave and JJ are together so I came up with this! Plus everyone can say happy birthday to ilovetvalot aka Tracia! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Or try to. It's rather sad.

Disclaimer: I don't own a thing.

"Why didn't you tell me?" JJ asked softly as Dave nursed a glass of scotch. To be honest, he hadn't heard her enter his place, but it wasn't that big of a surprise. He had given her a key in case of emergency.

"Tell you what, Jen? That my ex-wife asked me to help her commit suicide? That I couldn't bring myself to say no right away because I still had feelings for her? That I had a son that died in my arms?

What do you want from me JJ?"

"You said you wanted this. You said you wanted to be a part of my life with Henry. Are you changing your mind?" Dave set his tumbler down.

"Of course not. I just..." JJ moved to sit on the couch while Dave collected his thoughts. "I just didn't know what to do and I didn't want to worry you."

"Worry me? I came home to find a message from Emily explaining about Carolyn and how you needed me. Then the next message is you, crying, saying she committed suicide! I am worried. I don't care about your feelings, I care about whether you're going to be ok." Dave looked at the amber liquid in his tumbler. "Why didn't you tell me about James?"

"There's a conversation. Jen, listen, my ex-wife who I made this promise to came back asking me to help her end her life and I don't know what to do. Oh yeah, we had a son who died too." JJ lost the steam in her argument.

"I want to help, Dave. You were there when Will walked out on us and helped us through a difficult time. I just want to return the favor."

"I don't know if I can get married again, Jen."

"Did I say I wanted marriage right now? No. We'll take things one step at a time, and right now I think we should go pay our respects and you tell me everything." JJ held her hand up as he went to protest. "I don't care that I heard it from Emily. I want to hear it from you. I care about you Dave."

"Where's Henry?"

"With Jack and Aaron and Em." Dave nodded slowly as he finished the liquid in his glass, the taste burning its way down his throat. JJ stood and took the glass from his hand, setting it on the coffee table, before she sat on his lap. Dave's arms wrapped around her waist, anchoring her to him as he buried his face in her neck. One of her arms curled around his neck as the other softly ran through his hair.

"I'm sorry, Jen. So sorry."

"Shh, Dave. It's not your fault." JJ wasn't entirely sure if he was apologizing for keeping things from her or for not being able to help Carolyn. "I'm here for you, Dave. Henry and I will be here as long as you want us." Dave pulled his head back and looked at JJ, who gave him a small smile.

"I love you, Jen. I love you both."

"I love you too, Dave. Stop keeping things hidden. I'll understand and I'll listen." Dave nodded.

"I know. Thank you, Jen." Jen stood up and caught his hand in hers.

"Come on. Introduce me to them." Dave stood and pulled JJ into his arms, holding her close as his emotions overwhelmed him. JJ held him tightly as Dave sobbed.

AN: Alright, see? Short and sad. But I hoped you guys liked it! I feel so bad for Dave. I know it's what Carolyn wanted, but that's tough. Well anyway thanks for reading, please review.
