Thank you, Lauramaeh Fanfiction, for the title!
"Damn it, would you stop doin' that!"
Jennifer Jareau spun on her heel at the kitchen sink to glare at her fiancé. "Will! He's a baby!"
She quickly dried off her hands on the towel and plucked her wailing son from his seat in his high chair. Henry pressed his tear-soaked face into her neck as his cries continued. She ran a gentle hand down his back; Will threw the baby spoon onto the table and stood up. JJ had to press her back into the wall in order to not be bowled over by the irate man. She jumped when the front door slammed shut.
"Hush now, Henry. Everything's going to be alright. Sh."
"Mama…"
"Mama's here, baby. You wanna finish your lunch? Yea?"
Will hadn't returned by the time JJ had laid their son down for his nap an hour later. She curled up on the sofa and gazed around the living room. Henry's toys were strewn out on the floor by the toy chest, while his play mat was folded neatly and sitting on the shelf. The TV played softly in the background, but she barely heard the sounds of Spongebob Squarepants over the thoughts rushing through her mind. She'd known she and Will had been on rocky shores for a month or so; however, she never would have figured he'd yell at their sixteen-month-old.
Her fingers shook as she brought her hand up to run through her hair. A tear hit her jean-clad knee, and she let out a shaky laugh. She'd never been one to cry over a man before; why should she start now? Oh, right. This certain man had fathered her amazing son.
"Hello?"
"Um, hey. Can you come over?"
"JJ? Is everything okay?"
"Ha, not really. Please?"
I know, not much has happened, but you know what? It'll get better! I promise! (: Thank you for reading, and if you have time, please review!
