"Jennifer it's good to see you." Sandy hugging her.
"Mom, it's good to see you too." JJ as she hugged her back.
"Well, I didn't think you were going to show up." Paul as he walked out.
"Daddy." JJ hugging him, now extremely nervous.
JJ pulled away, noticing her aunts coming out.
"Mom Dad this is Will. Will these are my parents." JJ
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. & Mr. Jareau." Will, not sure if her dad would say anything, as he shook both of Sandy's hand.
"Please call me Sandy." She told him
"Yes ma'am." Will
"Does Will here have a last name?" Paul, as his son was shaking his head.
"LaMontagne, sir." Will answered.
JJ watched her dad closely, her brother may have given Will a break, but by the look on her dad's face he was not.
"Jennifer said you were a detective and where would that be?" Paul
"Paul at least let them get into the house." Sandy, before Will could answer.
"I think it's a pretty day to talk outside." Paul looking back at Will.
"New Orleans, sir." Will
John was ready to laugh at the look on JJ's face.

2 weeks before
"Will I thought someone said you weren't coming." John Jareau getting out of his car.
"I wasn't but the girl I have been seeing was called away for work." Will, he had not put together that John and JJ were related.
"Come on man you're a cop that sounds like a bad excuse." John as he shook Will's hand.
The two men had been fishing for years once or twice a year since they were teenagers and both of their dad's started bringing them on the cops fishing trip. Although if you asked either of them the other's last name they probably couldn't tell you, they considered each other friends.
"No, she works for the FBI." Will smiling.
"How did you meet a FBI agent?" John as they both walked towards the deck.
"Her team helped me solve one of my daddy's old cases a couple months back." Will
"Her team? What does she do?" John thinking about his sister.
"She works for the Behavioral Analyst Unit, she's the Media Liaison." Will
John stared at him for a minute.
"Please tell me her name is not Jennifer." John
"How did you know that? Will confused.
"If I didn't consider you a friend I would shoot you now. You're dating my little sister." John
"There is no way Jen is related to you." Will
"Her team calls her JJ, she's blonde and blue eyed and stubborn as hell." John
"She is going to flip out when she finds out we know each other." Will
"No, she is going to flip out when she realizes that our dad knows you. Will you better treat her right or I will hurt you." John
"John, your sister amazes more every time I see her and you know me. Do you really think I would treat her bad?" Will
"No and that's the reason you are still standing." John
John hatched up a plan to get JJ to bring Will to their parent's house for the next holiday; he was going to enjoy watching his sister squirm.
"Don't tell her we know each other just yet." John
"Why not?" Will
"As I am sure you already know Jen likes her private life private and this will make her feel like it's not." John
"You are right about that. I still don't feel right about keeping it from her." Will
"If you two are still seeing each other by Christmas tell her then." John
"Okay, that's only another month." Will, not knowing what John had planned
/
"Paul, are you going to keep hogging your daughter or do we at least get to say Hello to our niece." Aunt May
"You're more than welcome to say hello to Jennifer." Paul, still looking at Will.
He didn't know if he liked the idea of Will dating his daughter, although he had known Will since he was a boy and knew he would treat his daughter right.
"Didn't you used to go fishing in New Orleans with a bunch of cops?" Aunt Cindy, looking at Paul.
"I thought the two of you wanted to see Jennifer." Paul
JJ remembered that John now goes on those trips and she thought she remember Will saying something about it a couple weeks ago.
"I remember those." JJ
"I don't know why you would dad couldn't get you to go for anything." John
"No, but you did and still do." JJ turning to look at her brother and her boyfriend.
"Jennifer it's good to see you." Aunt May
"You too both of you." JJ smiling at her Aunts.
"How long have the two of you known each other?" Paul, still looking at Will.
"How long have the three of you known each other?" JJ asked.
"Why do you think Dad and I know Will?" John
"Paul, do you already know Will?" Sandy, knowing her husband couldn't lie to her.
"I used to fish with his dad." Paul
JJ turned around and looked at Will.
"I told you I should have told her." Will looking at John.
"Jen relax. I told him the best thing to do was to wait." John
"Why?" JJ
"Because this was more fun and you like to keep things private." John
"John Thomas. Paul you better have not known what he was planning." Sandy
"No, I didn't know who she was seeing until I walked out here." Paul
JJ shook her head, not sure if she was mad at all of them or just Will.
"Jen, I didn't tell Will what I was planning either." John, knowing she was mad.
"When did you know?" JJ looking at Will
"On the fishing trip two weeks ago, when you couldn't come down." Will, knowing he messed up be not telling her.
"Let's go in the house." Sandy
/
JJ was being stubborn and talking to Will or John. Sandy decided to talk to her alone.
"Jennifer, please come help me." Sandy
"Okay." JJ getting up
She followed her mom into the kitchen.
"What your brother did was not right, but you should at least talk to Will." Sandy
"Mom, he should've told me. I have been nervous all day about them meeting." JJ
"I understand but I also know you. If he would have told you then you would have felt like we all knew and you hate that and then pushed that boy out of your life." Sandy
"I love him but I hate secrets." JJ
"Let him explain because I have never seen you look at a man the way you look at him." Sandy
"How do I talk to him without everyone else getting involved?" JJ asked.
"That's the reason I wanted to talk to you. Your Aunts are staying here and we both know they won't share a room." Sandy started.
"They are not staying in Joyce's room." JJ
"No, you know nobody stay's in her room but after talking with your daddy, instead of Will staying in the second guest room, we thought he could just stay in your old room." Sandy finished.
"You got daddy to agree to that." JJ
"Yes because he should have never went along with your brother. Unless you think they bed is to small." Sandy
"No, we'll be fine in my room." JJ
"Help me with the drinks." Sandy, picking up some of the glasses.

JJ and Sandy walked back into the living room, handing out drinks.
"Aunt Jen, Can you please take me and Hannah out to the lake?" Maddy asked.
"Yeah pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase." Hannah
"It's to cold to get in." JJ told both her nieces.
"We know but we want to catch frogs." Maddy
"Yeah and you are funnier than daddy please." Hannah
"How do I say no to that?" JJ laughing
"When did Jen get more fun than me?" John looking at his daughters.
"Like when I was two." Maddy
JJ started laughing.
"Go find a box." JJ
"Papaw where's a box we can put the frogs in." Hannah
"On the back porch, bring two of them here and I'll put holes in them." Paul
Maddy and Hannah ran out of the room.
"You have a little Jennifer on your hands." Aunt Cindy told John.
"Great. She can go home with her Aunt Jen." John
"Anytime. Will do you want to go with us?" JJ
"Yeah, I would love too." Will almost surprised.
"Here papaw." Maddy
Paul cut holes in the boxes for his granddaughters before JJ and Will left with them.
