I walked back into the kitchen; Morgan, Emily, Haley, and Rossi were standing around the island.
"Where's everyone else?"
"Resting." Emily told me.
"JJ, I didn't mean to upset Kenzie." Morgan, still feeling guilty.
"She's fine."
"Where are Will and Kenzie?" Haley asked.
"Still in the bedroom, what are the plans for lunch?"
"We are trying to get Rossi to cook." Emily informed me.
"I could see if Garcia wants to make that Tofu stuff she got." I told the group knowing the Rossi was not going to eat Tofu.
"Fine, I'll cook." Rossi giving in.
"I'm going to check on Aaron and Jack." Haley as she walked back towards the bedroom.
"Morgan, you are helping." Rossi.
/
I nodded to Emily to follow me into the hall.
"You need to say something to him." I told her.
"JJ, you know I can't."
"I also know that you didn't just drop him off last night."
"How do you know that?"
"You slipped earlier when you were talking to Spence."
"What's really going on with Kenzie?" Emily trying to change the subject.
"She doesn't want Will to leave."
"And you?"
"I really don't want Will to leave."
"Did you talk to him?"
"Yes, I told him and you were right I feel better. You should take your own advice."
"Good now go spend time with your man and Kenzie. I'll knock when lunch is ready."
"Thanks Emily."
/
I walked back in to the bedroom. Will was lying down in the bed with Kenzie on his chest, I shut the door.
"Rossi is fixing lunch." I told him as I climbed in the bed lying next to him.
"What's wrong?" I asked when I noticed he looked upset.
"She asked if I was going to be her daddy."
I know that my eyes got huge.
"What did you say?"
"I couldn't say anything; I was in just as much shock as you are. She fell asleep right after that."
"What did you want to say?"
"Truth, you're not going to get upset."
"No, I want the truth."
"That I am working on it."
"You want, I mean you."
He laid Kenzie on the other side of him and reached for my hand, pulling me next to him.
"You asked me in the car to be more then completely sure."
"Yes, but you moving here and being her dad are two completely different things."
"No, it's not. Jennifer, I would not move here and not be at least a father figure to her and I knew the first time you sent me the picture of the two you and the first time I heard you read her that story that I wouldn't be able to live without both of you in my life. I understand that you are scared and you have good reason to be, but I am not your dad or Jason I am not walking away."
His eyes told me her was telling the truth, all I could do was kiss him.
"Ewe." Kenzie popping up her head.
"You keep thinking that." Will mumbled.
"Do you feel better?" I asked with a laugh.
"Yes, but I hungry."
"Lunch should be done soon."
There was a knock on the door as soon as I finished the sentence.
/
"Come in."
"Lunch is ready." Emily as she came in the room.
"How's your room?" Will asked her.
"Fine, I realized that none of the rooms upstairs are above the ones down here."
I looked at her funny.
"If they were Garcia and Kevin would be right above the kids, Spencer would be above Haley and Hotch." She said laughing.
"And you?" I asked
"Above the two of you." She made a face.
"So, the kids and Spence won't be having bad dreams." I said laughing.
"Come on Kenz, your mom and Aunt is acting crazy." Will as he got out of the bed and helped Kenzie down.
"I'll be there in a minute."
As Will and Kenzie walked out of the room, Haley and Garcia came in.
"Kenz better?" Haley asked.
"Yes."
"What's going on?" Garcia asked.
"We were talking about the bedrooms upstairs not being above the one's down here." Emily told them.
They both looked at us funny.
"Kevin and Garcia would be above the kids, Spence would be above Haley and Hotch, and although Emily made a face. I am thankful that she and Morgan are not above this room." I told them as I got up.
We all started laughing as we made our way in to the kitchen, Dave had made spaghetti.
"Should we ask?" Morgan
"No, we were just talking." Garcia told him.
I fixed a plate and sat next to Kenzie at the table, Will was on her other side.
/
"About this team building thing, we need to find a way to do at least a little bit." Hotch informed us.
"We are eating together." Morgan told him.
"What are we supposed to be learning?" Emily asked.
"More about each other and not just what Garcia can pull up from our records."
"We could start with questions about work." Spencer, looking around.
"Okay, I want to know how JJ keeps everything straight." Rossi
"Huh?" I asked.
"You keep cases straight, plus you probably know more about the rest of us then we realize."
"I probably do, I guess that's the plus part of not being a profiler. I can sit back and watch you guys more. As for the cases I have to focus on the case we are on until it's solved or I would go crazy."
"Are you going to tell us what you know?"
"No, I probably know more secretes then the FBI and you guys tell me them because I don't repeat them. What else do you want to know work related?" looking at Emily and Garcia.
"I am aware of tiny ears." Garcia told me.
"How do you keep the media in check?" Reid.
"It's not hard, I tell them as much or as little as I can. Yes, sometimes I have to make up small things but only when it's necessary."
"What do you mean small things?" Hotch, looking worried.
"You have never noticed that before a case goes public or if we are look at someone, JJ will tell them that we have six different suspects or working several different cases." Emily
"No, I didn't." Rossi
"Anything over ten and they think that something's up."
They all had a confused look on their faces.
"I have to tell them something so I give them enough to have a small story."
"Where do the numbers come from?" Spencer asked.
"Mostly birthdays."
"So you pick one and go with it." Morgan
"Yes."
"I am never doing her job." Rossi
"You know we could find out more information later with a small game of truth or dare." Morgan
"After the small people are asleep." Emily
"or I've never." Garcia
"What is I've never?" Rossi asked.
"We could mix them together like we did on Girl's night." Emily
"That is why you don't remember anything half way through the night." Haley
"Mommy, can we play in the snow?" Kenzie, who was done eating.
"Yes, after the rest of us our done eating."
"Okay, can I play in mine and Jacks room?" she asked.
"Yes."
She went running down the hall.
"What's here besides sleds?" Haley asked.
"Snow mobiles, ski's, snowboards and there's a hot tub." Morgan told us.
"One of the mobiles has a side cart on it." Will
/
After everyone was done eating and bundle up we went outside, Kenzie with Wills help made a snowball to throw at Morgan but hit Emily. We were now trying to build a snowman.
"We should check on the snowmobiles." Morgan as he and Rossi went towards the garage.
"You want me to take Jack for a little bit." I asked Haley.
"Everyone will notice that we're gone." She replied as Emily walked up.
"We can make sure that doesn't happen." Emily told us.
"Are you both sure?"
"Yes." Emily and I responded.
Rossi and Morgan came back out of the garage.
"We would be down one if we all went." Morgan told us as the rest of the group came over.
"The one with the side cart has a cover and is seat up like to car seats with buckles." Rossi
Emily and I smiled at each other.
"Let's go for it." Emily
"Who's sitting out?" Morgan asked.
"Haley's getting a headache, so I am going to take Jack." I told them as I took Jack.
"Haley are you okay?" Hotch looking concerned.
"Yes, I just need to lie down."
"JJ, you don't have to take Jack." Hotch, completely missing the point.
"She needs quiet." Emily told him.
"Thanks JJ, Emily." Haley told us as they walked into the house.
Garcia walked over to us.
"Headache huh?" she asked.
"Sounded good." Emily laughing.
/
"Okay, so JJ and Will get the one with the cart." Morgan.
"Everyone else split up into groups." Rossi
Kevin and Garcia were together, Emily and Morgan took another one; that left Rossi with Reid.
"I think I'd rather stay here." Reid told us.
"If you know what is good for you; you will get on the snow mobile." Emily told him.
I started laughing; Spencer was confused but listened to Emily.
"Kenz come here so I can buckle you in." I yelled after getting Jack buckled in.
"Okay." She was trying to drag Will with her.
"Alone time." He whispered.
"Yes." As I put Kenzie in front of Jack, the back seat was higher than the front seat.
I buckled her in and closed the top as I turned around Will handed me a helmet.
"Here you go."
"Thanks."
I watched Emily climb on the back of the snowmobile holding on to Morgan. I climbed on wrapping my arms around Will.
"Try to stay together." Rossi yelled out.
"We can't race." I whispered to Will.
"I know, I'll be careful."
When we took off I looked at both Kenzie and Jack they were laughing. We were gone two hours before we realized it and had somehow managed to stay together. Morgan found a small herd of deer, we stopped to show Kenzie and Jack.
"We should get back." Rossi told us.
"Yeah okay."
I was hoping four hours more than enough time.
