Kissing her husband good bye as he made his way out the door, Jennifer Jareau smiled, leaning against the doorframe as her son wrapped himself around her legs.

"I like having you home Mommy," Henry said adoringly, smiling up at his mommy before turning to wave to his daddy as the car pulled out of the driveway and drove off towards the precinct.

"I like being home with you Henry," JJ replied, ruffling his blonde hair as she shut the front door behind them. "What do you want to do today?"

It had been a week since JJ had been to work. But for once, she wasn't going stir crazy.

She was getting more and more excited for the impending arrival of their third child. However, it wasn't without a heavy heart. It had been four long years since she had miscarried their second child while in Afghanistan. It had taken a long time to recover from that, and when she had finally felt ready to try again...she and her husband Will had gotten straight to it.

When unit chief Aaron Hotchner had found out she was pregnant, he had made her take some time off, to actually take care of herself so that she and Will would have a healthy, happy baby.

"Can we make cupcakes today please?" Henry asked, grabbing his mother's hands and pulling on them. JJ laughed.

"I think we can manage that," she replied, allowing Henry to pull her into the kitchen. "First we have to go to the doctor's so that the doctor can check the baby"

Henry broke into a wide grin. "Are we gonna see my sister?"

JJ laughed. "You might not get a sister buddy, it might be a brother"

Henry pouted. "I don't wanna share my toys"

Grinning, JJ knelt down, pulling Henry into a tight hug. "It'll all work out, buddy. Let's just see what happens ok?"

Henry nodded, throwing his arms around JJ's neck and kissing her cheek. "I love you Momma"

"I love you too little man," JJ replied adoringly, giving Henry a kiss of her own. "How about you go grab your shoes and we'll go see the doctor?"

Henry nodded excitedly, pulling away and tearing off to find his shoes.

Once they were ready, JJ found the car keys, pulling on her jacket as she took Henry's hand. After setting the alarm and locking up the house, they headed off to the OB/GYN.
