Hey Guys! This is another story that belongs to the CM series I have been writing for almost a year. It belongs between Long Week and Grow Old with You. It is basically about Will, JJ, Henry, and their newest additions. The whole team will make appearances. I hope you enjoy this.
It had been five months since they found out about the triplets. JJ was now 6 and half months pregnant with the babies and was confined to DC for the remainder of her pregnancy. She and will spent every moment they had together discussing everything from names to nursery colors. They had moved into a new house only about a block away from Emily's place which was helpful when the team was in town and Will was working. JJ could call Emily and her friend would come over and help her with Henry, who even though understood that his mom was tired, still wanted to play all the time. Emily was happy to play with him along with helping JJ with cooking and cleaning.
The new house had five bedrooms. They planned to have the triplets share a room for the first year or so before moving each into their own room. Henry loved his room which Will and JJ had decorated with a train theme. They had been debating the theme for the triplet's room because they had no clue what the genders of any of the babies were. A few weeks ago, however, JJ decided Winnie the Pooh would be the way to go.
As they lay in bed one night, JJ was thinking about the get together she was having with Emily and Garcia the next day. They were going to Emily's to hang out and watch movies.
"Will," JJ said, turning to him in bed, "Could you paint the nursery tomorrow while I'm gone? I would help, but paint fumes are not a good pairing with my touchy stomach."
"Whatever you want Jayje," he said, kissing her head, "I would do anything for you and these babies."
"I love you," she said, kissing him, "Now let's get to sleep. I have big plans for tomorrow."
"Alright chere," he said, kissing her, "Love you too."
JJ slept as much as she normally did when pregnant, having to get up every hour to pee and then trying to fall back to sleep as one of the babies kicked her in the ribs or spine or bladder. By five, she had had enough, getting up and going into the living to watch Friends which was always on at five am when she got up. She noticed she was having sharp pains about every fifteen minutes or so, but she brushed them off as Braxton-Hicks contractions that she had been having lately.
Will and Henry got up around seven. Henry joined her on the couch while Will went to make breakfast for them all.
Thankfully, around the twentieth week of pregnancy, JJ's morning sickness had decreased substantially. Before, she was sick every day, though some days were worse than others; after twenty weeks, however, she was only sick about three days a week and only had bad days once every couple weeks. Thankfully, this particular day was one with no nausea.
She and Henry snuggled on the couch, the little boy talking to the baby bump.
"Hi babies," he said, rubbing her belly, "Today is Saturday and me and Mommy and Daddy all get to not work or go to daycare today. Daddy is makin' breakfast for us and when you get born, you can have some too."
JJ smiled at the interaction. Henry did this every morning and usually a few more times during the day. He was so excited to be a big brother and wanted to make sure the babies knew all about what he was doing.
As Henry talked, JJ felt a few kicks from baby A along with the gripping pain.
"Henry," she said, taking his hand, ignoring the pain, "Feel the baby saying hi to you?"
"Yeah Mommy," he said, his little face lighting up, "Hi baby."
Henry sat quietly, feeling the baby kick until Will called that breakfast was ready. Henry jumped off the couch, running to the kitchen as JJ struggled to for a second. At just over six and a half months, she was already close to the same size she was when she was full term with Henry. They had found out early on that she was pregnant with a set of identical twins and a singleton.
She waddled into the kitchen, sitting down at their table as Will set a waffle with fruit sauce in front of her. Fruit was something she craved during pregnancy and she would eat it almost all the time. The "triple threat," as Morgan called them, took a lot of energy, making her hungry all the time.
"Can we name one of the babies Diego?" Henry asked as he took a bite of his waffle.
"I don't think so Monkey," JJ said, smiling at him.
They had a few names picked out. For girls, they could both agree on Courtney Joy, Charlotte Emily, Alexis Marie, Samantha Jennifer, and Chyler Allyssa. Will had wanted the name Sydney, but all JJ could think of was Sid who after her wedding decided to go kill with her husband on their honeymoon. JJ had liked Isobel, but after thinking about it, they both agree that people would call her Izzy and that was something neither one of them could handle. The name Margaret had come up, but JJ couldn't stand the nickname Maggie after the insane pedophiliac woman who had a child with her student.
They had also come up with the boy names Jordan Spencer, Travis Eli, Jamison William, Samuel James, and Jared Christopher. Will had wanted Ian on the list, but JJ put her foot down in regards to Emily. The name Toby had been discussed, but JJ decided it reminded her too much of Tobias Hankel and the insanity that he had brought to all of them.
That was the hard part about the jobs they had; a lot of cute names were taken by parents who ended up having serial killers instead of normal kids.
After breakfast, Will took Henry to get a bath while JJ cleaned the kitchen. As she washed the plates, she thought of the plans for the day. She wanted to try to catch a short nap before going to Emily's because even though it was only nine in the morning, she was already tired thanks to the "triple threat."
Once the dishes were done, she went to the master bedroom, lying in the bed lazily, letting sleep come. She slept for about thirty minutes before having to get up and pee, feeling another pain in her stomach. Once she was up, she decided to get in the shower.
She found a note from Will saying he and Henry had gone to the store and wouldn't be back before she had to leave. It was about time for her to go to Emily's anyways so she locked up, arming the alarm system before beginning the five minute walk to her friend's house.
When she arrived, she rang the bell, waiting for an answer. When no one came, she tried to door, finding it unlocked. She entered slowly, pulling out her phone and dialing Emily's number. As soon as she was in the door, all the lights went on and there was a huge scream of "Surprise!"
Hope you liked it. Comments/ideas/constructive criticisms always welcome in reviews or PM's! Thanks so much for reading. Come back next time to find out what the surprise is and what surprise JJ gives everyone, including herself!
