Chapter 2.
Parking up the car into the drive, JJ turned of the engine looking at Will. " You still live here?" Will asked.
"We, we still live here." JJ said giving him a little smile.
Will got out of the car, closing the door behind him following JJ.
"By the way, try not to give my mom a heart attack."
"I'll try my best."
Walking through the door, JJ locked it behind Will, taking off her coat she hung it up. Taking Will's hand she lead him through the house into the kitchen.
"Jennifer?"
"Yeah, I'm home, and I know I'm late but I have a good reason."
"Oh and what would that be?" Sandy said walking round the conrer she saw her daughter stood with Will.
"Will."
"Nice to see you too Sandy."
"Okay, that's good excuse." Sandy said walking towards him, hugging him.
"I'm glad your okay."
"Thank you."
"Is Henry asleep?"
"Just put him down a few minutes ago."
JJ nodded, looking up at Will. "You ready?"
"Than I ever will be."
Standing outside Henry's door JJ took hold of Will's hand. "Let me go in first okay."
"I'll be listenin'"
Walking into her son's room, JJ woke up Henry up seeing her sleeply son. "Mommy?"
"Hey baby."
Turning on his lamp, JJ sat on the egde of the bed. "What going on?"
"Well buddy, there's someone here to see you."
"Who?"
"Well, you know I said daddy would be home one day? But we wouldn't know when."
Henry nodded, sitting up a little.
"Well, daddy's home and he's really excited to meet you."
"Me never talk daddy?"
"No buddy, so don't be scared okay."
"Okay."
JJ opened the door seeing Will. Walking back in, Will followed behind her, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Henry, he looked exactly like JJ.
"Hey there buddy."
"Daddy."
"Yeah" Will said looking at JJ.
JJ gave him a nod, watching as Will sat with Henry.
"Listen little guy, I know I haven't been here, but I am gonna be from now on."
"Everyday?"
"Yeah, everyday." Will smiled "So tomorrow you want get to know each other?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, well how about you get some sleep, and me and your mamma will be here in the morning."
"Kay, daddy."
Wiping her eyes, JJ followed Will out of Henry's room. "I'm gonna go get us a drink, why don't you go get showered."
Nodding, Will saw the tears on her cheeks. "JJ"
"Yeah"
"He looks just like you."
"Well, he's exactly like you" she smiled.
Heading into his and JJ's bedroom, Will took a quick look round, walking over to the set of draws he saw some of his stuff, looking at the photo frame, he saw an old picture of him and JJ when they started dating. Heading into the bathroom, he turned on the shower, stepping in, he stood under the hot water, seeing the dry blood was off his body, feeling his cuts sting, he bit his lip, washing the shampoo through his hair. Stepping out of the shower, Will wrapped the towel around his body. Looking in the mirror he saw he needed a good shave, looking around he found a newly not opened shaving kit and toothbrush. Filling the sink with hot water, Will put the shaving cream on.
Heading back into the kitchen, JJ saw her mother doing the dishes, turning on the coffee maker, JJ sat down on one of the stools.
"How did it go?"
"Good actually." JJ sighed running her hands through her hair.
"How you doing?"
"Honestly, I'm overwhelmed I don't know how to feel, a part of me is happy but the rest of me." she paused. "What's he's been through."
"He'll talk when he's ready, just give him time to get used to everything again."
"I know, I just…"
"Go talk to him sweetie"
JJ nodded, finishing off there coffee's JJ headed upstairs, walking into the bedroom, she saw Will stood in a towel, she was shocked to see lots of scars all over his back, putting the cups down, JJ watched as he turned towards her.
"How…" JJ said raising her hand to his chest.
"It doesn't matter" Will said pulling her hand away.
"Will…."
"Please JJ…just.."
"Okay. I just."
"I know, but I'm not ready."
Nodding, JJ gulped down a breath, crossing her arms over her chest, she ran a hand over the front of her hair. "I made you a coffee."
"Thanks" Will said pulling on his pyjamas
"Listen Will, I know this is going to be hard for you, but I'm here whenever your ready, I'm here"
"Thanks Jay."
Climbing into bed, JJ moved closer to Will, at first it felt weird for them both, after they both relaxed, Will wrapped his arm around JJ. Tracing his hand down her arm, as she fell asleep, looking down at her "I'm not the guy I was, but I'm gonna try to be, for you and for our little boy."
