JJ's Pov

I walked into the house after working a long and stressful case. It's strangely quiet. I wonder where Henry is.

"Mommy!" Henry yelled as he ran down the stairs and jumped into my arms.

"Hey buddy" I say and put him down. "So what have you been up to while I was gone?"

"Lots of things. Follow me." He says running up the stairs happily. I follow Henry into his room and sit on the floor.

"Where's Daddy?" I ask.

"Daddy's in his room. He says that he's working" Henry says not looking up from his trains.

"Okay. I'll be right back. I'm just gonna let Daddy know that I'm home." I say. I get up and walk down the hall into my room to find Will buried in case files.

"Whatcha doing?" I ask in a playfully tone.

"Working on a case." He replies in the same playful tone. "So I was thinking that maybe me, you, and Henry can come and hangout with some of they guys from the station and their families. It'll be fun."

"Come on Will. Really? I know that I'm not home a lot but, when I am, I just want to spend time with my family not the people that you work with. Maybe if I was home a lot more I'd be more willing to go out with you and your friends but, I'm not so, I don't want me and Henry to go and hangout with some people from your work. Why do you keep asking me when I have the same answer every time?" I say now aggravated.

"Does that family include the people that YOU work? Come on! You spend more time with them than you do me." Will shouts.

"Why is this such a big deal?" I now yell back.

"Because, maybe, just maybe, I would like a wife wouldn't mind taking OUR son out with us to hangout with some of my friends and their families. What do you think? Just because we aren't feds doesn't mean that they can't protect you guys. Ask the people in this town how they think that we do protecting them! My friends are just as capable of saving people as your friends are!" Will screamed. He raised his hand and smacked me to the ground.

"What the hell Will!" I shout.

"You think that just because we aren't feds we can't always get the job done!" He continued to yell. He got down on the ground and punched me in the gut.

"We can do our jobs and we do a damn good job at it if you ask the people in this town." Will yells getting up and kicking me several times.

"Will please stop. You're jumping to all of the wrong conclusions." I choked out.

" Are you sure about that?" He asks and hits me again.


Henry's Pov

I hear Mommy and Daddy yelling. I walk down the hall and look in. Daddy is hitting Mommy. Neither of them see me so, I sneak downstairs and grab Mommy's phone. I opened Mommy's phone and call the last dialed number. I hope I'm calling one of Mommy's friends.

Spencer's Pov

I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. I reach over and answer.

"Dr. Spencer Reid" I say attempting to sound awake.

"Mommy needs help!" the scared voice on the other end says. I look on my phone to see who is calling. JJ.

"Henry, it's Uncle Spencer. Why does Mommy need help?" I say to Henry.

"Daddy keeps hitting Mommy and Mommy is laying on the floor crying." Henry says between sobs.

"Okay. Can you get outside without them seeing you?" I ask.

"Yeah. They are upstairs in Mommy's room." Henry replies.

"I need you to wait outside for me. I'm gonna call you back in a minute. I'm coming." I say in attempt to calm Henry down.

"Okay. Bye bye Uncle Spencer." Henry says and hangs up.

Poor JJ. We need to get her out of there. I scroll through my contacts and call Hotch.

"Agent Hotchner" He answered

"It's Reid. Henry just called me and said that Will hurting JJ. I told him to wait outside for us." I say quickly.

"Ok" Hotch says "I'll call the rest of the team and tell them to meet us at JJ's house." and I hang up.

I quickly got dressed and grabbed my gun and badge on my way out the door.

As soon as I got there I ran to Henry.

"Daddy is still yelling." Henry says crying and I pick him up.

"I'm here to help your mommy but, I'm gonna need you to sit in my car though. Can you do that?" I ask Henry and he nods.

When I turn around I see that Hotch, Morgan, and Prentiss are here.

"I found Henry." I say and put him in my car. After I finished putting Henry in the car Rossi pulled up.

"Alright team, Morgan and I will take the front, Reid and Prentiss take the back, Rossi, you stay here with Henry and make sure that when Will comes out he can't get near Henry. Let's go." Hotch says and we all split up.

Prentiss and I ran to the back and stood on the sides of the door. Prentiss nodded. I opened the door and we ran in. The minute you got inside the house you could hear Will yelling.

"Clear" I yell after checking the kitchen.

"Clear" I hear Prentiss yell so, we headed upstairs. We looked in all of the open doors down the hallway. We got to JJ's room and opened the door.

"FBI" I yell and we run in. Morgan and Hotch come in behind us.

"Will, step away from JJ" Morgan says.

"Don't talk to me like I'm a criminal, We aren't doing anything wrong. You can't just march on in here like that." Will yells and JJ runs behind the team, crying.

"If you've done nothing wrong then come with us." Hotch says

"Why should I come with you when you weren't invited in?" Will shouts back.

"Yes. We weren't invited in but, part of our job is to protect our teammates, so if you are hurting of one our teammates, we have the right to arrest you." I say while Prentiss sneaks JJ downstairs.

"Just put your hands behind your head and we can sort this whole thing out." Morgan says. Will caves and puts his hands behind his head. Morgan cuffs him and brings him outside to wait for a uniform to drive them to the station.

I walk downstairs and go sit next to JJ on the steps.

"Hey" I say

"Thank you for saving me. Emily told me you were the one who got the call." JJ says

"You know I've got your back no matter what and besides you have one smart kid." I reply.

"Thanks" she says "So how bad do you think that my injuries are?"

"I'm not a doctor but, they don't look too bad. You probably have some broken ribs, need stiches above your eye, and some bruises. The ambulance should be here any minute now."


A/N: This is my first story so, I hope that you liked it and I'm sorry about how short this chapter was. They will get longer. I promise but, I do need case ideas so review or pm me with any ideas. I'll try to update at least once a week but, school is pretty demanding right now so, no guarantees.
