One shot only. I hope you enjoy.

Two weeks ago.

Henry had come home from school excited, he was in the second grade and his assignment was to write about his family. He could wait to ask his mom and dad about his grandparents, aunt and uncles. JJ and Will had both answered all his questions and made copies of pictures for him. He couldn't wait to turn it, he was proud of his family.

Present

JJ could tell something was wrong with Henry as soon as he walked into the house, he sat his book bag down and then went and plopped down on the couch. She looked up at Will as he walked in the house, he was carrying two year old Grace.

"Not sure." He told her before giving her a kiss.

"Thank you for picking them up." As she took Grace from him.

"You have been gone for a week and needed sleep."

"I missed all of you. Now to find out what is wrong with our boy." As Grace snuggled into JJ's arms.

"Following you Cher."

JJ and Will walked into the living room, she sat Grace on the floor with some of her toys, before they sat down next to Henry.

"What's wrong?" Will asked.

"I have to redo my family project." He replied with a sigh.

"Why?" JJ looking at Will.

"There's a note in my book bag but my teacher said that I could only use my real family."

"Real family." Will

"Yes, she said that mom's team was not my real family. So I couldn't use them."

"How did you feel about that?" JJ asked.

"You always say that they are our family. I think they are my family." Henry looked up at them.

He didn't want to disappoint them but he didn't want to redo the project without them.

"I don't want to redo my project." He whispered.

"Tell us why." Will

"Because they have been my Aunts and Uncles for as long as I can remember and they love me and Grace. I love my grandpa's but I didn't know them or Aunt Cassie but its okay they are on my family project. I don't understand why I can't have Aunt Penelope, Emily, and Alex or Uncle Morgan, Spence, Hotch, or Dave on it."

Will and JJ looked at each other and then back at Henry.

"Your teacher doesn't understand why you think of them as family." JJ started as Grace climbed on her lap.

"I tried to explain to her but she said it didn't matter because they were not you or dad's brother and sisters." He told them.

"Do you understand why she thinks they shouldn't be on there?" Will asked.

"Yes because she is not nice and doesn't listen."

They both held back their laughs.

"No, she doesn't understand that sometimes family is different. Our family is very different." Will told him.

"But I am glad they are our family."

"So are we."

"Are you going to be mad if I don't redo it?"

"I am not. You need to decide if you want to redo it." Will told him.

"Dad's right it's up to you. I am not going to be mad."

Henry thought about it before a couple of minutes.

"If I can't include my whole family then I am not going to do it again." He told them.

"Then we will stand by you." JJ kissing the top of his head.

We have two families the one we are born into and the one we chose.

Tell me what you think, short and sweet.
