"You call that a kick?" I smirked at Will as I easily stopped the rolling back with my foot. Will squinted his eyes at me and I lightly passed the ball to Henry.

"Kick it at daddy!" I encouraged and Henry wound up his foot backwards and connected with the ball, kicking it hard towards Will. Will tried to catch it, but it slipped right through his hands and passed him, hitting the fence behind him after landing on the ground. I raised my arms up and looked back to Henry. "Awesome kick, buddy!"

"Daddy missed it!" Henry laughed and I shared in his amusement as Will came back with the ball in his hands.

"It's cause I'm getting old, that's why," Will said, defending himself against our poking fun. I looked to Henry and bent down, rubbing his tummy.

"Daddy isn't getting old, he's just embarrassed you're better at soccer than him," I said and stood up straight. "You'll make varsity your freshman year, buddy!"

"Really?" He asked, eagerness in his tone. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and pulled it out, looking down at it. Garcia was calling.

"Yeah," I said, stifling a sigh. I looked to Will and held up my phone, indicating that I probably had to go in for a case. He nodded slightly and I went into the house as Henry kicked the ball at Will again. I shut the door behind me and answered my phone.

"Hey, Garcia," I said, already bracing myself for the bad news that we had to go in.

"Hey girly! Wanna go out tomorrow with Kate and I?" She asked in a chirpy voice.

"Uh-" I stuttered, not expecting that to be the reason she was calling.

"We were thinking of going to get some drinks since we have the whole weekend off," Garcia spoke quickly, sounding very excited about it. "Well, if no unsubs ruin it, and-"

"What time?" I asked while chuckling, cutting her off from ranting about her excitement.

"We'd meet at the Brick Bar around 7," she said and I nodded to myself.

"Ok, sounds good. See you guys tomorrow!" I replied and hung up. I crossed my arms and looked down, smiling a little. I was happy Garcia reached out and wanted me to hang out. I knew she didn't know what was going on; with me and the recent...troubles...from having flashbacks about my abduction and torture last year. She was no profiler, and I felt that I'd done well enough to hide it from them. The only reason Will saw through my cover up was because he was my husband and I lived with him. I appreciated his attempts to help me get through this, but I was fine. Some days were though, and I definitely had my moments of minor panic and post-trauma, but I didn't need help with this. I was more than capable of getting over this myself, and I didn't need my team or husband to get involved. However, Will was already involved, which I finally reluctantly accepted. But, I wanted it to stop with Will. I didn't want or need my team knowing about my recent trouble.

My thoughts ended with the interjection from the sound of the door opening. I put my phone back in my pocket and saw Henry and Will enter the house. Henry ran to the TV and Will came over to me, setting a hand on my side.

"Got a case?" He asked, his tone slightly somber and expectant that I'd say 'yes.'

"No, actually," I said with a little surprise myself. "It was Garcia...but all she wanted was to ask me if I wanted to go out tomorrow."

"Oh," he said, surprised as well. "You're gonna go, right?"

"Yeah," I said with no hesitation. I gave him a weird look and narrowed my eyes. "Why?"

"It's just that Henry and I are doing our burger dinner tomorrow night, so you would've been by yourself. And I think going out will be good for you, with all that's been going on."

"Yeah," I repeated and nodded, agreeing with Will about going out and having some fun being a good thing.

"Daddy, can we go bowling?" Henry said from the couch.

"Bowling? You wanna go bowling?" Will chuckled and looked to me.

"You should take him. Turn that boy's night tomorrow into a weekend," I said a little quietly to him.

"You don't wanna come?" Will asked and I shook my head.

"Nah," I said and kissed his cheek. "You guys go out. I need to run to the grocery store anyway for dinner tonight."

"Alright," he said back to me and turned to Henry. "Get ready to lose, boy."

"Nu-uh!" Henry laughed as he ran to get his shoes on from the closet. I smiled at Henry and then looked to Will and put my hand on the back of his neck.

"He's a good bowler too," I said and patted his chest with my other hand, kissing him after. "You'll lose."

"We'll see about that," Will smiled and kissed me again. He went to go get his own shoes on and I got my car keys to go to the store. Henry came back into the kitchen and I looked to him.

"Want anything from the store, Henry?" I asked and he nodded happily.

"Can you get me ice cream cones and ice cream?" He asked and I gave him a hesitant look.

"Didn't I get you ice cream last time?" I asked and he paused, then nodded quickly, lying. "You little sneaky sneak!" I laughed and pointed a finger at him. "I did."

He giggled, partly from laughing from me teasing him and partly from nervousness. "I know," he giggled again and I started a list on my phone.

"I'll get you ice cream again, but make sure you take it easy on the sweets, ok?" I ordered and Henry nodded in understanding. "Ok," I bent down and patted his butt, seeing Will waiting for him at the door. "Go have fun with daddy!"

"Bye, Jayje," Will said and Henry ran over to him, waving to me as the exited the house. I grabbed my keys and phone and put on my own shoes. Closing the closet behind me, I went to the front door and left the house myself, locking the door once I shut it from the outside.
