Chapter 1: The Funeral
The morning period had just begun. He entire team sat front row at the funeral home in New Orleans. Garcia whimpered into Morgan's chest while he gently cooed comforting words into her ear. Hotch sat tall, but seemed out if it as he stared blankly ahead into the distance. Prentiss sat beside him silently wiping off tears with her thumb. Rossi, seemed to be praying, with his head facing downsides and his eyes closed, his lips gently forming silent prayers. At the front sitting in uncomfortable chairs sat the victims. Reid and JJ sat beside each other, her arms wrapped tightly around Henry's tiny frame. "What am I going to do, how am I supposed to even start comforting her in such a heart-wrenching time?" Reid's mind was churning at an impressive speed. The result turning up weren't helping the situation at all, on most of the homicide cases he's worked on, it's taken the fiancee's many months of gut wrenching sorrow and therapy to even get them on the right track. "I'm not ready for this." his leg twitched nervously at he thought more and more about the future, his future.
The stained glass windows reflected all different colours around the room as if trying to cheer up the situation without success. The whole town seemed to be crammed into the small funeral home. The minister took his place at the podium and everyone silenced, not that many people we talking anyway. "We are all here today to honor the unfortunate death of detective William LaMontage Jr."
Just at the mention of her fiancee's name, JJ flinched and squeezed Henrys waist. Reid instinctively put his hand on her shoulder, surprising himself as well as her. This sudden movement made this braniac realize how much he really did care about her. She looked up and their eyes met. It didn't take a profiler to see the indescribable sorrow flowing through her veins, and it didn't take a genius to know this was going to be a long grueling healing process.
After the never ending, tear depriving speech from the minister, Reid's thoughts were interrupted by the groaning of the chair beside him. JJ taking Henry, walked up to the podium. When getting there she cleared her throat and adjusted the microphone.
"Will was the most kind and considerate men I had ever known..." her voice faded and cracked at the end of the sentence. She turned away for a moment, gathering her courage.
"Daddy!" Henry shrilled pointing at the picture of Will on the table. JJ lost it. She broke out in sobs, Reid stood up and took her shaking frame into his arms. He had to comfort her in her time of need. He started gently leading her to her seat. "Only 2 hours to go..."
