"So, are we going to go home and get ready now, or finish out our workday?" JJ asked, looking towards Hotch for answers.

He shrugged his shoulders, looking to Penelope. "Ask her, she seems to have all the answers."

JJ turned to look at her best friend and arched an eyebrow. "Well?"

"I may have gotten us the rest of the day off." She grinned at them. "I just want us to have an amazing time together and away from everything. I just hope we all make it to the train station on time."

"I can fix that," Will said softly. "There's more than enough room at our house for everyone to stay the night. We could also consolidate cars that way as well." Looking around at her friends, JJ saw that everyone seemed comfortable with the notion and she just shook her head.

"Well, everyone is going to have to chip in for pizza. There is no way we have enough food in the house to feed everyone."

"Why don't we all bring over our perishables and we can throw together something." Rossi had slipped his arm around Strauss's waist and as JJ watched, the woman rested her head on his chest, nodding slightly.

"We have to head home to get our bags, anyway." Penelope took hold of Morgan's hand and led him out of the war room. This seemed to be the signal that everyone was waiting for and they left in groups and pairs. Henry threw his arms around her waist, hugging her tightly.

"Are we really going to meet Mickey?" he asked excitedly, and she nodded. "Yay!"

She took hold of his hand and they followed the others out to the elevators. "Where did Rossi go?" she asked, looking around.

"He and Erin took the stairs. Ever since he's been with her, he's gotten on a health kick. They never take the elevator if they can help it," Aaron said off-handedly.

"Dude, I don't blame them. Have you seen her a…" Morgan stopped himself, looking at Jack and Henry. "I mean, have you seen the way she looks lately?"

"I didn't know you were looking at our Section Chief like that, Sugar." He looked down at Penelope and shrugged.

"You can't stop a man from looking, even when he has perfection in his life." She giggled and kissed his cheek, as if forgetting they were still in the FBI building. "But I think they have the right idea. The elevator is really slow today."

"You can take the stairs if you want, Der. I am going to wait. There is no way I can go down six flights of stairs in these shoes."

"Take them off."

"And run my hose?"

"I'll buy you another pair, Baby Girl." She just shook her head and tugged off her heels, handing them to her boyfriend. JJ lifted Henry up in her arms and made her way over to the stairwell, her husband hot on her heels. The group followed her lead and were soon in the parking garage.

"I'll take Henry home in my car, honey," she said to Will and kissed him lightly. They parted ways and she went over to the car, buckling Henry in his car seat. As they drove, she listened to her son chatter away about the upcoming trip and how excited he was about it. "And you didn't tell Mommy about this trip when you knew?"

"No, Mommy. Daddy said it was a surprise for you, and if I told, Aunt Penny would be disappointed." He smiled at her in the rearview mirror and she just shook her head. As she pulled into the driveway and opened the garage door, Henry took a deep breath. "Mommy, the ship won't go underwater, will it?"

"No, sweetie, it won't."

"Good. I don't think I'd like that." She tried to stifle her giggle at his matter of fact tone, getting out of the car and helping him down. Going inside, she went immediately to the refrigerator and looked at the contents. She pulled out all the vegetables and cut fruit she found there, along with the chicken she had thawing.

As the others joined them, Dave and Erin bustled into the kitchen, taking out pots and pans as they figured out something to make with the leftovers they were given. "We'll call you when something's ready, Jennifer," the other woman said kindly, shooing her out the door.

JJ joined the others in her living room, watching Will hand out blankets and pillows to everyone. "We decided to give Strauss and Rossi the guest room," he said, smiling at her. "Jack can sleep in Henry's bed for the night, and the others are going to claim spots around the living room."

"Morgan and I call dibs on the couch!" Penelope sang out as the others groaned.

"Ash and I will take the loveseat, then." Reid looked at Hotch as if daring him to comment.

"That's fine, Beth and have spent many nights on the floor with Jack, 'camping' in our living room." Hotch just shook his head as he wrapped his arm around Beth's waist. "So, you left our two newest lovebirds in the kitchen. I hope that they don't set the house on fire."

JJ laughed shortly. "I don't think that they'd do anything that would cause that sort of reaction around little children." She settled down on the floor and Henry crawled into her lap. She rocked him back and forth as the others sat down. "Garcia, you are utterly amazing. I can't believe the Director was okay with this happening."

"We've been through a lot as a team since our last real vacation, and look how that ended up. We seriously need this time together to bond." She snuggled into Morgan and grinned. "I wanted this to be as family friendly an experience as possible, which is why I went with a Disney cruise. But don't worry, I made sure there would enough to keep us entertained as well."

Henry crawled out of her lap and went over to Penelope, holding up his arms. She picked him up and he snuggled into her. "Aunt Penny, are we going to eat soon? I'm starting to get hungry."

"Soon, precious." She looked around at the others. "So, I am looking most forward to Castaway Cay. I have my Sugar Bear and I some private cabana time scheduled with a masseuse."

"That sounds heavenly, PG. Do you think there are still slots available?" Ashley looked up at Reid. "I've heard massages can do wonders for headaches. It really works out the tension in your body."

He nodded and bent to kiss her head lightly. "That would be fun. Did you make sure to pack a lot of sunscreen, Ash? Despite living in Vegas for my formative years, I still burn faster than toast."

"I got the highest SPF for both of us."

A soft cough at the doorway got all their attention, and JJ smiled when she saw Erin, a streak of flour on her cheek. "I think we have something ready for everyone. Dave even made a vegetarian dish for you, Penelope." She smiled widely, and gestured with her head. "Now let's go eat before everything gets cold."

They moved into the kitchen and JJ saw a number of dishes laid out on her counters, along with a stack of bowls and another of plates. JJ filled a plate for Henry and herself before leading him into the dining room, taking a seat at the table. Erin sat next to her, which was a surprise, setting down a glass of water and a plate. "How are you doing, Ma'am?"

"Erin, please. We're going on vacation together, might as well use our names. And I'm doing well, thank you. This is really magical, don't you think?" She took a bite of her food and sighed.

"I do. I mean, I knew Penelope was a miracle worker, but this is above and beyond everything I ever expected from her. Are you and Rossi settling down together?"

"A little. We've left the hotel weekends behind us to go to his cabin. It relaxes us both so much." She smiled gently as Rossi came in and took a seat next to her, scooting his chair close to Erin's. "We had left this happiness over a misunderstanding back then, to be afforded a second chance at love is amazing."

"I'll toast to that." He kissed her cheek softly and then focused on eating. JJ watched how they interacted and knew that this was what she wanted with Will when they got older – a perfect, sweet, love.

"You guys are so adorable," Garcia cooed out as she took a seat across the table from them. "You had better be taking notes, Der."

"Yes, Baby Girl. The perfect romance playing out before our very eyes."

Erin blushed faintly, and JJ noticed Dave slip his hand off the table to caress his lover's thigh. "See, they like you," she overheard him lowly whisper and felt her heart break a little. Shaking her head, she focused on her food and finished, taking her and Henry's plates into the kitchen before running him upstairs and into the bath.

"I like Erin," her son said out of the blue as he was playing with his rubber ducky. "She's nice."

"Yeah, she is, buddy. But she's Miss Erin to you, okay?" He nodded and she smiled as she washed his hair. By the time she got him into bed, Jack was already there, reading something on his iPad. "Hey, Jack."

"Hi, Miss Jareau. Daddy wants me to sleep now, but I am so excited about tomorrow. How can I sleep?"

Henry yawned largely and looked over at the other boy. "You close your eyes and count the sheep jumping over the fence until you sleep. Duh."

JJ was going to reprimand her son when Jack burst into giggles. "Daddy told me to count horses. Sheep would look silly jumping over a fence."

They started chattering away and she smiled and backed out the door, turning off the overhead light as she closed them off from the world. "Is everything okay in there?" Hotch asked as he looked up the staircase.

"Everything is perfect," she replied, going down to join the others.
