So, I decided to add to this story. I will probably update this periodically. Thank you for the reviews.
JJ sat on her bed, going over her notes from the last couple of cases the team had worked, she hated bringing it home with her but it was the only way she could put Kenzie to bed. She looked over at the picture of Kenzie, she had sitting on her nightstand, Kenzie had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes in the picture she was holding her bear smiling really big. She looked back at the file from it was the case from New Orleans, it had been five days since she had given him her phone number and there was still no call. She believed it was because she was a single mother and he wasn't looking for that kind of responsibility. She sighed looking back at the file, she was hoping he was different. She was lost in her thoughts when her personal cell phone rang, she picked it up without looking at the number.
"Hello."
"Hello Jennifer." The man with the southern drawl.
She didn't say anything.
"This is Will LaMontagne. Are you still there?"
"Yes, I wasn't sure." She was lying, he was the only person that called her Jennifer.
"Am I interrupting work?" he asked with a laugh.
"No, I am home. How are you?"
"A little lost."
"What's wrong?"
"This beautiful blonde walked on to my crime scene and now all I can think about is her."
"Sounds like a line." She told him, although she was blushing.
"I'm sorry it took me so long to call you. I wasn't sure what to say when I did and I thought you would want to spend time with your little girl."
"I didn't realize that it had been that long." Again lying, she had been waiting on this call and felt like an idiot every night.
"Jennifer, I thought we agreed to at least be open to see where this goes."
"I am trying to be. It's not that easy."
"It is. Let's be friends if it turns into more than I am a lucky man."
"You are nuts."
"I've been called wor." He started but stopped when he heard the small voice in the background.
"Mommy." Kenzie as she was standing in the bedroom doorway.
"Jennifer, I am sorry I should've realized."
"It's okay, she was in bed."
"Can't find Bolo." Kenzie told her.
"Can you wait a minute or do you have to go to work?"
"You no work." Kenzie told JJ.
"I can wait." Will laughing.
"Okay, give me just a minute." As she sat her phone on the bed.
/
Will could hear JJ talking to Kenzie.
"You no work." Kenzie told her again.
"I am not. I was asking my friend if he was working." JJ as she picked up Kenzie.
"Good. Stay with me."
"Let's go find Bolo because I know a little girl that should be asleep."
"Me."
"Yes you."
/
Five minutes later JJ came back to the phone, she was hoping Will has still there.
"Will?"
"I am here."
"Sorry about that."
"It's okay. She needed her momma."
"Yeah, she can't sleep without her bear."
"Honestly, she sounds adorable. She doesn't want you to work."
"Thank you. If she had her way I would be home all the time."
"Can't be easy."
"What?"
"Leaving her to work."
"It's not but I have to do my job and I know she is being taken care of while I am gone." She was getting defensive.
"Please don't take it the wrong way, I didn't mean that you were doing something wrong."
"What did you mean then?"
"That you are strong and brave raising her alone and I couldn't imagine doing it on my own."
'I am not alone."
"I didn't realize."
"The team and my mom help me. Hotch's wife is her babysitter."
"Oh. Can I ask you a question?"
"You can I won't promise to answer."
"Where is her father?"
"I don't know. I said baby he said bye."
"I am sorry."
"Can we talk about something else?"
"Sure."
/
"Tell me something about you." She asked.
"I am one of four boys and I have seven nephews."
"That's a lot of boys. Are you close to your family?"
"It is a lot of boys especially since only my older brother and one of my younger brother are the only ones with kids. Yes, I am close to my family. What about you are you close to your family?"
"I am with my mom. My sister and my brother are both a lot older than I am so I guess we are as close as can be excepted."
"Any nieces or nephews?"
"A niece and a nephew."
"See we can be friends."
"You do understand that we can only be friends and even only talking on the phone."
"Why are you so against a relationship?"
"I am not against it. Right now, I try to keep all my focus on Kenzie when I'm not at work. I don't want to lead you on, I do like you. I am just trying to be honest."
"Thank you for being honest. I would never ask you to take time away from Kenzie, I know that she comes first."
JJ was surprised he understood, sometimes she felt like no one else did not even her team.
"Why don't we talk on the phone when we can and just see?"
"No exceptions."
"None as long as you keep an open mind."
"I will try." She told him with laugh.
They stayed on the phone for another two hours talking about everything they could think of.
As always let me know what you think.
