Will and JJ walked back down stairs, noticing everyone was now there.

"You trying to hide out?" Shane asked

"No, I was showing Jen the house." Will squeezing her hand

"I think hiding out sounds better." Ty from behind them

"Jen this is Shane and Ty." Will

"Nice to meet both of you." Jen

"You too." Shane

"Where is everyone else?" Will asked

"The kids are outside playing. Liz and mom are in the kitchen." Shane

"And Mark is trying to get Michelle to take the stick out of her." Ty

"Tyler remember your manors." Sophia coming out of the kitchen

"Because you haven't said it." Liz coming out of the kitchen

"Yes, but Jen has not met her yet." Sophia

"Jen meet Liz. Liz meet Jen." Will

The women exchanged Hello's.

"Uncle Will." A small girl coming into the living room

"Sam." Will picking up the small girl.

"I didn't know you were here." Sam hugging him

JJ smiled watching him with his niece; she didn't realize that Sophia was watching her.

"Well I am. Why aren't you playing with the boys?" Will asked

"Not supposed to get dirty." She whispered in Wills ear

"Ahh" Will as Mark and Shell came in

"They are playing soccer and I don't know how to play." Sam

Will looked over at Jen who was still smiling.

"Jen this is Sam." Will

"Hi Sam." JJ

"Hi" Sam

"And Mark and Michelle." Will

"Hello." JJ

"Hello." Mark

JJ and Will noticed Shell didn't say anything; JJ turned her attention back to Will.

"Do you want to learn to play soccer?" JJ asked Sam

"Yes, Can I daddy?" Sam

"I don't have a problem with it. Do you play?" Mark asked Jen

"I did in high school and college. I could show her enough to be able to play, if you're okay with it." JJ

"Yeah, she has wanted to learn." Mark

"Can we now?" Sam asked JJ

JJ looked at Will before answering.

"Sam, the food is ready. Eat first please." Sophia

"Okay, nana." Sam as Will put her down

Outside

Everyone was getting plates of food, Will noticed Sam following him and JJ.

"I think you have a new friend." Will whispered

"She's cute." JJ as they sat down at the table

Sam sat right next to her, smiling at JJ.

"I'm going to get some drinks, you okay." Will

"Yeah" JJ

"Can you teach me to beat the boys?" Sam asked JJ

"I can teach you to play with the boys." JJ

"Okay, maybe next time you can teach me more." Sam

"If your daddy and mom are okay with that." JJ

"Shell is not my mommy." Sam whispered

"Oh, Will did tell me that. Sorry." JJ whispered

Sophia and Ty sat across from them.

"Jen, do you have kids?" Sophia asked

"No, I have a couple of nieces and nephews." JJ

"Do you want kids?" Sophia

"Mom" Will and Ty

"It was just a question." Sophia

"A personal one." Will

"It's okay. Someday yes." JJ answered

"Jen you're good with Sam, I was just curious." Sophia

"Thank you." JJ smiled

"Can I have a soda too?" Sam asked

"You need to ask your dad." Will

"Okay" Sam getting up

"She's really cute. Where is her mom?" JJ asked

"Unfortunately, she's not a part of her life and Shell reminds her that she's not her mother." Sophia

JJ shook her head, not sure what to say.

"Will said you work for the FBI, what department?" Ty

"The Behavior Analyst Unit or BAU, I work with profilers." JJ

"You're not a profiler?" Ty

"No, I am the Media Liaison. I handle the media and work with the local cops." JJ

"Is that how the two of you met?" Sophia

JJ looked at Will; she didn't know what he had told her.

"Yes, her team worked one of my cases." Will

"Did you have to go to the academy?" Ty

"Yes, I am an agent just not a profiler." JJ explaining

"Ty is thinking about the academy after college." Will

"You want to be an agent." JJ asked

"Yeah at least I think I do. I know that I don't want to be a lawyer." Ty

"The academy is hard work but worth it in the end." JJ

Will watched as JJ taught Sam how to kick the soccer ball and keep control of the ball. Smiling he knew he loved her but now he was sure he was in love with her.

"I like her." Sophia sitting next to him

"Good because I love her." Will

"Boy you are in love with that girl and she's in love with you. Will just remember to be patient." Sophia

"What makes you say that?" Will

"Jen reminds me of Maria." Sophia

"What do you mean?" Will looking at her

"You know that we were friends. I was there when your daddy met your momma; I was there when they started dating. Your momma was afraid of commitment; she tried to push him away more than once even though she loved him. Bill never gave up on her; she realized that he would always be there for her." Sophia

"She was nervous about coming here. Jen had a rough childhood she was afraid she wasn't good enough." Will

"Jen is always welcomed here and if you really love her you will learn to be patient with her." Sophia

"I do." Will

JJ and Sam walked over to them.

"Nana did you see me?" Sam asked

"Yes I did. I'm pretty sure you're a natural." Sophia

"She has the energy to play soccer." Jen

"Uncle Will come kick the ball with me." Sam

"Give me just a moment and I will." Will

"Sam, you should go get something to drink." Jen as she sat down.

"Okay." Sam as she ran towards the house

"You okay?" Will looking JJ

"Yeah, I will sleep for the next three days." JJ laughing

"She loves the attention." Sophia

"Sam's a great kid. I'm enjoying spending time with her." JJ

"Uncle Will come on." Sam standing in the middle of the yard

"She's great but demanding." Will standing up

"Go play." JJ laughing

JJ sat there with Sophia, not share what to say.

"Where did you grow up at?" Sophia asked

"A small town in Pennsylvania; it's nothing like here." JJ

"Not meaning places are sweetheart." Sophia

"That is very true." JJ laughing

"I was just telling Will that I really do like you and that you were welcome here anytime." Sophia

"Thank you. I like being here." JJ

"And you love my boy; which means everything to me." Sophia

"I really do. You raised a wonderful man; I have never met a man who is so caring and loving." JJ

"He has a lot of his daddy in him but more like Maria in that way." Sophia

"You knew her." JJ asked

"Yes, she was my best friend. Please don't get the wrong idea Bill and I didn't get together until about a year after she died. Will was part of that reason we got together." Sophia

"I wasn't thinking that." JJ

"Jen, you and Will are meant to be." Sophia

JJ looked at Sophia smiling.

Will's apartment

"Thank you for getting me to go today your family is great." JJ as she climbed into bed

"My mom really likes you and I am pretty sure Sam would have come with us." Will as he sat down on the bed

"Sam is an amazing little girl and your mom is amazing. She said that we were meant to be together." JJ smiling

"Mom is right about that." Will

"Maybe we could get Sam sometime." JJ

"I would like that." Will kissing her

"I love you." JJ

"I love you too. Get some sleep." Will

Today had went better than he expected, there would be some bumps in the road he was aware of that, be he would there for her always.
