Prologue –
JJ sat at the table, cradling the mug of hot chocolate, her eyes cast towards the baby monitor knowing that the moments just after she had put Henry down were when he was most likely to get up, luckily it seemed as if for tonight at least she was going to be spared the torment. Closing her eyes JJ let her mind drift back as Will's words from earlier that afternoon reverberated around her head.
"I can't do it Jen, not again, I'm not going to put myself through it, I can't manage Henry on my own."
"You won't be on your own Will, I'm still here, I'm not abandoning you or my son."
"But you are Jen, you're going back to them, all those cases away from here leaving Henry and I alone..."
"Stop Will. Stop thinking of yourself the whole time, I love Henry too, I'm doing this to protect him, protect his future. I am going back to the BAU, if you don't like it, if you can support me then..."
"I'll head back to New Orleans in the morning, Henry can come and see me in the holidays."
"You really are unbelievable Will, how could you do this to Henry, to us? I'm just pleased that I never agreed to marry you!"
The tears rolled down her cheeks, the conversation with Henry had been difficult, but for a three year old he was perceptively bright and when he threw his arms around her neck and told JJ that he loved her she knew that the two of them would be fine. Lifting her hand up she wiped the tears away as she heard the knock at the door, wearily she stood up and walked out of the kitchen to answer it. As JJ opened the door she was unable to bottle it up any longer as he walked in and quickly wrapped her up in his strong arms.
"It's going to be ok cara, I've got you, let it all out, everything is going to be fine, I'm here now."
