(JJ's point of view)
Penelope always calls me Mama Bear. In some ways she's right. When it comes to Henry I will protect him no matter what. Today though is a day I can't protect Henry.
Henry is taking his pre-admission test for St. Francis of Assisi School. I am so nervous for him. Last night Will called and I told him about Henry's test. Will got very angry he asked why public school wasn't good enough.
"JJ." Spence yelled as he saw us.
"Hi Spencer thank you for being here." I responded.
"Hello JJ, Henry are you ready?" Spence asked.
"I'm scared Uncle Spence." Henry answered looking like he wanted to cry.
"You will do well Henry. All anyone can ask is that you try your best." Spence said.
"Spence is right Henry. If you do your best and don't get in we'll find another school." I said.
"Will you be here when I'm done?" Henry asked Spence.
"Your Mom and I will wait right here for you." Spence answered.
"Henry LaMontagne." A woman asked approaching us.
"I'm Henry." He said shyly.
"It's nice to meet you. I'm Miss Linda. I'll be giving you your test today." Miss Linda said to Henry shaking his hand.
"Mr. and Mrs. LaMontagne we'll be about two years." Miss Linda said to us.
"Uh it's Ms. Jareau now. And this is Henry's God Father Dr. Spencer Reid." I explained.
"Nice to meet you both. I have a good feeling I will be talking to you again very soon." Miss Linda said smiling.
After Henry left Spence and I talk. I opened up about my call with Will. I also admitted that without Will I wasn't sure if I could afford this school. Spence reassured me that it would all work out. I couldn't help believing him.
Two hours later Henry returned. Spence offered to take us out to lunch. I quickly agreed to Spence's offer. Lunch tasted great. Henry spent the meal telling us all about his test.
One week later as returned from a case I got a call. Henry passed his entire test with flying colors. They wanted to meet with Will and me. I told them we had split. They were very understanding.
I tried to talk Will into going. I knew it would be tough to get him to go. I finally got up the nerve to call Will. He out right refused to go to the meeting. He also made sure I understood that he won't give me any money to help with this school.
I didn't really look followed to go to my meeting alone. I was sure Pen would go if I asked. My Mom would go with me as well. There was only one person I truly saw with me.
"Hello JJ are you okay?" Spence asked.
"Nothing well uh I talked to Will." I answered stuttering.
"He still will not go to the meeting." Spence guessed.
"No he won't. I was wondering if you would go with me?" I asked nervous.
"I would be honored to JJ. I already prepared a list of questions I was going to have you ask them." Spence answered.
"Now you can ask the questions yourself." I said happily.
"I am sorry about Will's behavior." Spence said.
"Don't apologize for him. Thank you for being you." I said as I hugged him tightly.
