A/N: So, here is and my second story. I didn't plan to write it. However, when I heard the song by Delta Goodrem – Fragile, it inspired me. Please review at the end.

Fragile
It was one of the most difficult cases for Jennifer Jareau. Some psychopath was kidnapping little boys. All of the boys were looking just like her gorgeous son – Henry. While working on the case, JJ couldn't stop thinking about her little man. Even though she knew, that he is at home with her lovely husband - Will, she was worried about him. She just wanted to go home, hug him tight and kiss him. Just to hold him and never let go.
After a couple of days, the team managed to catch the bad guy. Everyone wanted to leave as soon as possible, so they got all of their things and checked out of the hotel in a record time. The plane was ready to go and took off as soon as everyone got on board. This means that she probably will be able to get home before Henry's bedtime.
The first thing she heard when she entered her home was Henry's laugh. Will was tickling him. When Henry saw his mommy, he immediately ran to her.
"Mommy, mommy! You are home." He shouted excited and then hugged her legs. JJ bent down and picked him up. Then she gave him a tight hug. "Mommy, you are squeezing me very tight."
"I'm sorry, little man. I just missed you so, so much." JJ said while trying not to let the tears in her eyes fall.
"I missed you too, mommy." Then Henry kissed JJ's cheek. After that gesture she couldn't stay strong. The first tears slid down her cheeks.
"Mommy, why are you sad?" Henry asked, worrying that he did something wrong.
"I'm not sad, buddy. I'm just very happy that I'm home with you." After wiping her tears she continued. "Love you so much."
"I love you too, mommy." Henry said.
Will spoke for the first time after Jenifer came home. "Henry, it's time for bed. Go to your room and mommy will come to tuck you in."
"Okay, daddy. Goodnight." JJ put him down and he went to kiss Will.
"Goodnight, buddy. Sweet dreams." After Henry went to his room, Will turned to his wife. "Jen, is everything alright? Are you okay?"
"I'm good, Will. I'm going to tuck Henry in and then we can talk" With that JJ went to Henry's room, leaving Will to wonder what happened that caused his wife to cry in front of their child.
After thirty minutes she joined him on the couch. Jennifer sat next to her husband and he immediately wrapped his hands around her.
"Talk to me Jen. I'm worried about you." Will said.
"I told you that I'm okay. Just the case has been close to home." JJ insisted.
"Jen, I can tell that you are not alright. Please, tell me what's going on." He cared about her too much, to drop down the problem. In moments like this, Will was stubborn just like her.
"It's just… The unsub was kidnapping little boys. They were all looking like Henry. And I… I know that he is here, with you, safe, but I couldn't stop thinking about my boy. I have been worried." JJ explained.
"That is normal, Jen. You are a mother. You will always be worried about him. Henry is our little man. I promise you that while you are away, I will keep him safe." Will attempted to soothe her.
Jennifer was trying very hard not to let her tears fall again, but she didn't manage. "Will, it's not only this. Sometimes I… I feel like I'm all alone. Sometimes I feel so frail, so small and vulnerable. Sometimes I feel… a little fragile." Then JJ started sobbing.
"Oh, honey. It's okay. Everything is going to be alright." Will hugged her tight and just let her cry.
After JJ calmed down and her sobs stopped, Will cupped her cheek and she looked at him
"Jen… I love you. And no matter what, I will always love you. It's okay if you sometimes feel fragile. I will always be here, so that when you feel alone and vulnerable, I will make you feel strong again. Henry and I love you very much. I will never leave you. I will be always on your side." Will said.
"You will never leave me?" JJ asked like a scared kid.
"Never, honey. Never." And he kissed her deeply on her lips. Suddenly, Will stood up and picked JJ up. He carried her to their bedroom. Then he made love to her, made her feel strong again.
