Chapter 3.
Waking up the next morning, JJ found the bed empty, heading downstairs, she saw her mother sat reading the paper.
"Where's Will?"
"He's outside with Henry."
JJ raised her brow, heading into the kitchen she looked out of the window, seeing Will chasing Henry round the garden.
"He's really good with kids."
"He's always wanted one."
"Go out there."
Opening the sliding door, JJ walked down the garden. Smiling she wrapped her arm around Will. "You two look like your having fun."
"We are."
"Mommy come play."
"Later buddy, you wanna help Grandma with breakfast?"
"Okay" Henry said running inside.
JJ turned her attention back to Will. Smiling.
"What?"
"Nothing, I just…"
"Listen, I'm sorry about last night I am, it's just." walking towards the bench Will sat down, running his hands through his hair. "I had to put myself in a state of mind, and you were the only thought that got me through it."
"Will…"
"Thinking about you, got me through it, the pain, the loneliness , all of it, knowing I would be coming home to you."
"I can't imagine what you've been through Will, but I never gave up, almost everyone did, but I couldn't, cause you're my guy and Henry needed his dad."
"I'm sorry that you had go through all this alone, raising Henry."
"Don't be, you're the one who missed out on it."
"I really wish I could have been here."
"There's always the future."

Hearing the noise, Will looked round at his team, before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his arm, before seeing darkness. Waking up, he felt his hole body hurting, looking around he saw he was in some kind of cave, feeling that his hands and feet her bound together, he let out a breath.
Feeling the iron bar, scold his skin, Will screamed out in pain, he could smell his now burnt skin. He just wanted to sleep, he was exhausted and dehydrated. He wanted to go home, home to JJ.
"JJ…" he whispered.
/
Shooting up on the sofa, Will saw JJ gripping his arms. "Wha..what"
"You were having a bad dream, and kept shouting my name."
Sitting up properly Will ran his hands through his hair, placing them in his lap he saw his hands shaking. Looking round at her boyfriend, JJ couldn't help but worry at how scared he seemed.
"Will.."
"Where's Henry?"
"He and my mom went to take a nap."
"I…it felt like the iron bar was burning my skin all over again." Will said looking away from her.
Gulping down a breath, JJ traced her hand over his. "Babe….I know this is hard and that you don't wanna tell me about it but…"
"We were just hanging out and then a bomb went off….I woke up and I…"
"Take your time.."
Squeezing her hand tightly Will looked right at her. "They tortured me JJ, over and over and over. It felt like it was never gonna stop."
Letting the tears fall down her cheeks, JJ pulled Will's head to her chest, listening as he cried onto her, kissing her forehead. She watched as he fell back asleep. Throwing the blanket over him. JJ headed into there bedroom, closing the door behind her, she slid to the floor, letting all her tears out.

Hearing a knock on her bedroom door, JJ wiped her eyes, moving away she opened it finding Henry
"You okay buddy?"
"I hungry"
"Come here" JJ said picking Henry up.
Walking through the living room, JJ saw Will still asleep, heading into the kitchen, JJ placed Henry down on the counter.
"You want some friut?"
"Yes pwase"
After JJ had made Henry something to eat, she decided to make herself and Will something, watching as Henry finished eating the last few pieces of apple, JJ walked into the living room placing the plate and cup down on the table before waking Will. Hearing a noise, Will opened his eyes seeing JJ standing in front of him. Sitting up he rubbed his eyes, before seeing a plate of food on the table.
"You need to eat something."
"Thanks."
"Listen, I'm gonna go get Henry bathed, and settled, can we talk after?"
"Yeah." Will said looking up at her.
Wrapping the towel around Henry, JJ ruffled the smaller towel through his hair before pulling it away.
"You have fun with daddy this morning?"
"Yeah. He fun."
JJ smiled widely, "Yeah he is buddy."
"He seem sad." Henry said, pulling the towel tighter round his body.
"C'mon bud lets get to changed."
Carrying Henry into his room, JJ helped him change into his pyjamas sitting him down on his bed, JJ brushed through his hair. "Daddy's just sad because he's been through a lot."
"He be okay?"
"Yeah he will you know why?"
"Why?" Henry said turning his head up at his mother.
"Cause he's got you."
"And you mamma."
"Yeah baby and me" she smiled at her son.
"Me watch a film?"
"Sure, what you wanna watch?"
"Ice Age."
JJ laughed a little, picking up Henry's DVD, she set it all up before, tucking Henry in bed.
"If you fall asleep, remember we all love you."
"Love you too mommy."
Kissing his head, JJ left his room, leaving the door open a little. Hearing him laugh, she headed back into the living room to see it empty, heading into the kitchen she stood in the door way watching as Will swallowed two tablets.
"You okay there?"
Gulping down the water Will turned his head, giving JJ a little nod. "Yeah, just got a headache.
Sighing, JJ walked into the kitchen leaning on the carbonate in front of the sink. "Will."
Running his hand on the back of his head, Will looked down. "I'm gonna go see a doctor."
Moving closer to Will, JJ took hold of his finger. Tilting his chin up.
"Come with me"
Nodding, JJ squeezed his hand.
/
Pulling out of Will's hold, JJ looked up at him. "Henry's watching a film I give it about an hour maybe less till he falls asleep" she paused "Wanna join him?"
A huge smile popped up on Will's face "I'd love too."
Heading into Henry's room they saw him laughing, letting go on Will's hand, JJ climbed on one side of the bed watching as Will climbed on the other side. "Mind if we join you little man."
"No." Henry said not looking away from the TV.
Will couldn't help but laugh. Turning to face, JJ he saw her raised brow.
"What?" he said with a laugh in his voice.
"He's exactly like you." JJ said.
"I do not do that."
"Shh" Henry said placing both his hands onto his parents mouths."
"Sorry bud."
Wrapping her arm over Henry's body, JJ took hold of Will's hand, it wasn't long till they had all fallen asleep together, cuddled up in Henry's tiny bed. Walking down the hallway, Sandy headed into the room, seeing her family, turning off the TV, she placed an extra blanket over them before leaving them all alone to sleep.
