Morals

JJ sat in the waiting room of the hospital, her daughter Mia had been taken from school to the ER after falling while playing tee ball for sport and broke her wrist. "Ms Jareau?" She heard the doctor call. She stood up and walked toward him. "It was a clean break, but should fully heal. Until then she will need a permanent cast and I would like to see Mia back here in about 6 weeks to remove the cast from her wrist. JJ nodded her head and smiled. "Thanks doctor, can I see her?" "Yes certainly, I'll show you to her ward and then get some paperwork for you to fill out."

JJ followed the doctor to the room where her daughter sat on the bed closest to the window. "Mummy!" Mia yelled with an enormous grin on her face. "Well you look good don't you?" JJ replied as she walked up to Mia who had a bright green cast on her left arm. "At least you broke your left arm, not you right. Now you can still do your schoolwork." "Aw mum? You wouldn't send me to school while I'm sick?" Mia cried with an upset face. "You bet I will. And you're not sick, you're injured." JJ responded smiling while Mia pouted her lips.

After JJ filled in some paperwork, she took Mia home and started to prepare dinner. She was expecting Will and his daughter Kash to arrive any minute. She was making a creamy penne pasta with salad for them to eat tonight at dinner. 'Ding Dong' she heard the doorbell sound. "Mia can you get the door please?" JJ yelled to her daughter, "Okay!" Mia replied and JJ heard the sound of Mia running towards the door. "Don't run with your cast on!" JJ yelled at her daughter who smiled and called back "sorry."

Mia opened the door expecting to see Will and Kash, but instead saw her elder sister Britney. "Hey Mia, how's your arm?" Britney said as she walked past Mia and planted a kiss on her forehead. "B? What are you doing here?" Mia asked dumbfounded because Britney was supposed to be in St Louis with her dad for the week. "Yes, what are you doing here?" JJ asked her 17 year old daughter as she greeted her with a kiss on the cheek. "You do realise that I live here..." Britney replied. JJ rolled her eyes "I mean why aren't you in St Louis, you were meant to spend a week with your dad?" Britney rolled her eyes, "pfft, he had better things to do with his new family... He forgot to pick me up from the airport and I had to take a cab to his house. Then I had to sleep in the living room because the guest room was covered in boxes from moving." JJ pulled her daughter in for a hug, "sorry sweetie, well at least your back with us." Britney nodded and pulled Mia in for a hug, "Yeah, you guys are better. So are Will and Kash coming tonight or something?" She asked, "yes they are, so I have to go finish making dinner, why don't you go take a shower and I'll get Mia to bring you some fresh towels, JJ told Britney.

It was about 10 minutes later, that JJ heard the doorbell ring again. This time she knew it was Will, standing up to get the door, Mia had already beat her there. "Hi Kash!" She yelled as she flung open the door. "Hi Mia!" Kash replied as she pulled Mia in for a bear hug. "Woah, what happened to your arm?" Will asked as he stepped over the threshold and into JJs house. "Fell over and broke it" Mia replied trying to act tough. "did you cry?" Kash asked smiling because she knew that even though Mia acted tough, she was really a softie. "Maybe a little bit..." Mia replied. "Hey guys how was New York?" JJ asked them while giving Will a kiss and then pulling Kash in for a hug. "It was good, we saw Grandma and she cooked so much food" Kash replied. "Of course thats all you ever think about isn't it?" Mia replied snickering.

JJ heard the shower stop as did Will. "Is someone else here?" Will asked looking confused because Britney was in St Louis. "Yes, Britney came back because Dad's being a total jerk to her, so she decided to leave her holiday early." Mia replied. "Oh, what did he do this time?" Will asked JJ, while the two kids ran off to play in Mia's room. "I'm not exactly sure but I'm guessing it's the same crap he always done, just this time she decided that enough was enough." Will just nodded his head.

From what Will had heard from all 3 girls, JJ's ex was real dickhead. JJ told him that he cheated on her while she was pregnant with Mia and decided to leave her for his girlfriend whom he had also gotten pregnant. JJ had told him that he still wanted to see Britney but not Mia because he didn't know about her at the time he began to cheat. He thought it would just be easier to pretend that he only has one daughter and not have to worry about looking after Mia. Britney tells Will that his two other kids are feral and they run around the house screaming and demanding things constantly. And Mia, who has only met her father once, tells Will that he's a loser because he didn't want to hang out with the coolest of his kids. Britney normally only sees her father twice a year, for a week during summer holidays and usually the week before Christmas.

JJ often felt guilty about letting Britney go and see her dad while keeping Mia at home, and when Mia was younger it use to be really hard on her when Britney would leave for the week because Mia would get upset that her dad liked Britney better than her. As a young child it was hard for her to understand, but now that she was 9, she was beginning to understand a bit better and would usually cry because Britney was leaving her. JJ lucked out having two daughters who got along so well. Even though there was an 8 year age gap between the two girls, they were extremely close.

The 5 of them sat down at the table, Britney and JJ sat on one side, Will sat opposite JJ next to Mia, and Kash got the head of the table. Will and JJ had been dating for almost 2 years, even though they decided it was best to keep their relationship on the down low for almost a year, the kids were aware of what was going on. Mia, Kash and Britney had all met a year ago around the time where the team were made aware to JJ and Will's relationship and when Will was looking to move out to Quantico so he could be with JJ more. At first there was a little tension between Mia and Kash; both were the same age, and this brought about a constant battle of who was smarter, who was sportier and who was a better dancer. When JJ and Will brought Kash to start at Mia's school, the teacher thought it would be best if Mia and Kash sat next to each other, that way Kash knew someone. However the two of them began to bicker and steal each other's school supplies and hide it in their desks and bags. One time Kash stole Mia's necklace that JJ gave her when she was 6, after Britney had left to see her dad. Mia began screaming and crying.

The teacher told Will and JJ that the screaming match between the two consisted of Mia yelling at Kash – "You keep taking everything from me! My mummy likes you better than me!"
And Kash would respond with "at least you have a mummy, I don't know where mine is!"
"You have a daddy too! You're being selfish and taking what isn't yours" Mia was crying
"Don't you have a daddy to?" Kash asked
Mia shook her head and yelled "No! My daddy doesn't want to see me; he only wants to see my sister. He doesn't love me! Britney has my daddy, now you're taking my mummy"
Mia began to cry harder and then had a panic attack in the middle of the classroom, which then made Kash worry "I'm sorry Mia! Here you can have your necklace back" Kash told her trying to calm her down, however Kash soon began to panic aswell. The teacher took both kids to the nurse who called JJ and Will to come and get them. Ever since then, the two of them had begun to talk more, and were quick to become best friends.

"Well guys, what movie do you want to watch?" Will asked Mia and Kash. "The goonies!" Kash yelled while Mia cried "Up" JJ looked at Will and laughed, "you settle this, I'm going to wash up." Will smiled at her, he knew she hated creating arguments between the girls. "Well, why don't you watch both?" Will asked them. They looked at each other, "but we have school tomorrow?" Mia replied. "Well I think that your mumma was going to let you stay home because of your arm, and I guess Kash can stay home with you." "Really? Yay" the two girls replied, and they ran to get themselves organised in the den.

"So are you going to stay up and watch movies all night too?" Will asked Britney who was sitting at the table on her phone. She looked up at him and laughed. "Nope, I'm going out." She told him. She rose from her seat and gave him a goodbye hug, then went to find JJ and tell her that she was spending the evening with friends. "You do realise it's a school night don't you?" JJ told her and will interjected with "and it's already 7'oclock" "relax, I know Mr and Mrs Stressful. I'm just going next door to Kylies" she said rolling her eyes. Kylie was one of Britney's best friends. "Uh, wait a minute. You're not going to see Kylie." JJ stopped her daughter. She knew that Britney was actually going to see Kylies twin brother Nick whom she was dating.

Britney rolled her eyes and huffed, "actually I am, she told me that she had some goss for me. So if you'll excuse me, that's where I'll be." "She's growing up so fast" Will pouted to JJ. "Tell me about it, I can still remember when she was this tiny little baby" JJ mimicked cradling a baby in her arms. "Jayje, have you ever considered having more kids?" Will asked her seriously. JJ looked taken aback and then tilted her head to the side. "Have you?" She asked him, "Yeah, I have. And I know that it seems really unusual because there would be a 9 year gap between the baby and Kash and Mia, and a 17 year gap between the baby and B." Will started, however JJ interrupted his ramble "Will are you asking me to have a baby with you?" JJ said smiling. "Yes I am, not necessarily right away I mean we aren't even married yet, but someday. You're only 33 and I'm only 34, were still young." Will told her. "I would love to have a baby with you, in a while though... not straight away." JJ told him and then the two shared a passionate kiss.
