On Monday morning, after getting Henry to school, JJ headed to the Bureau for the new week ahead. She hadn't talked to Will or anyone since Saturday night. As soon as she got to level six she went straight to her office, not ready to deal with the team or the questions they might have had. She had been going through some new case files she had received when she heard a knock on the door.

"Yeah," she called out.

"How was your weekend?" Emily asked as she opened JJ's door. She had expected her friend to call her with the details of the date night, but she had no such luck.

"Did Reid say something to you?" JJ asked, though it wasn't like Reid, she hoped he hadn't turned into a gossip overnight. The last thing she needed was for the whole Bureau to know about the situation she was in.

"No? Why what happened?" She asked as she walked in and took a seat across from JJ.

"Nothing," JJ said quickly and Emily shot her a look that just said 'seriously'. JJ just sighed, knowing she had to tell her friend. "Will and I had plans for Saturday night."

"I know that. Was it bad?" Emily hoped for JJ's sake it wasn't. That past week Will and JJ had been dancing around each other, and she had been so happy when JJ said she had taken her advice and decided to give Will a shot.

"Worse," JJ said laying her head in her hands. "We didn't even make it out the door."

"Why?"

"Will met Henry," JJ explained looking back up.

"So? I don't understand".

JJ took a deep breath, she didn't know if she was ready for this, but she had to be. "I've been lying to everyone for a long time now," JJ said, not being able to meet Emily's eyes.

"What do you mean?" Emily asked, she didn't know where JJ was going with this. What had JJ been lying about? Why would she lie to everyone?

"I actually dated Will in 2007," JJ said for the first real time.

"What? You never said anything. Was it serious or just a fling?"

"Kind of serious. We dated for almost a year and broke up in April 2008," JJ explained, knowing that Emily would work out where she was going with this.

"So back then when I told you to date Will, the serious relationship you had just gotten out of was with Will?" Emily asked to which JJ just nodded. "Wait. April?" Emily repeated as she played JJ's words back over again. But she put the pieces together. "Will's Henry's father?"

"Yeah," JJ whispered shyly.

"Does he know?"

"He worked it out on Saturday night."

"So he now knows?"

"No, I said I cheated on him back then," JJ explained, and she knew Emily would frown upon that.

"JJ? Why?" She asked with a mix of sympathy and confusion in her voice.

"I panicked. He gave me a way out and I took it."

"You have to stop doing this. You can't keep lying to everyone. Not to the team, not to Will, or to Henry."

"I know, but I just keep getting deeper and deeper, and I don't know how to get out."

"You need to tell him," Emily said, it wasn't really a suggestion.

"I can't."

"You have to. Because Will's a good guy, and deserves to know he has a son. And Henry deserves to know his father."

"I've screwed everything up."

"Yeah, you have. But that doesn't mean you can't fix it," Emily said taking her friends hand. She wasn't angry at her, not at all. JJ had made a difficult decision back then, to not tell Will and to raise Henry alone. And although she might not have agreed with what she had done, she had always admired the way she had raised Henry and always looked put together and gave everything 100%.

"I don't know which situation is worse, the one I'm now, or back when I was pregnant and deciding if I should call him or not."

"I remember when you first told me you were pregnant," Emily started.

"JJ, are you alright?" Emily asked following JJ into the bathroom at the station. But after hearing JJ start to throw up she knew it was a stupid question. Emily stayed around waiting for JJ to stop and come out. A couple of minutes later JJ was unlocking the cubicle door and washing her face over the basin. "I know this case has been difficult to say the least, but I've never seen you react this way before."

"I'm pregnant," JJ said wiping the water away from her face. She knew she couldn't keep it a secret much longer, and there wasn't really another way to explain what Emily just saw, or really heard.

"What? How?" Emily asked surprised.

"Ah…the normal way."

"No, I mean, who's the father?" Emily didn't think JJ was dating anyone, and JJ wasn't really the one-night stand kind of girl.

"A guy I was dating. But we broke up before I found out."

"Are you going to tell him?" Emily asked.

"I don't know," JJ said honestly. She was torn between telling him or not.

"How far along are you?"

"Ten weeks, I've known for about four though," she answered. She and Will had been broken up for almost two months. The last two months had been a real adjustment. She had finally come to terms with the break up when she found out she was pregnant, and that started the whole process again, but this time it was far more difficult. She was always telling herself that she would call him 'tomorrow', but that hadn't seemed to work out so well yet. She always seemed to talk herself out of it.

"I'm still in shock," Emily said. When she walked into the bathroom she never expected to be having this conversation.

"You and me both," JJ nodded.

"Well congratulations, I guess," Emily said as she pulled JJ into a hug. She wouldn't say it, but she had no idea how her friend was going to do this. Balancing this job and a child alone, if she didn't end up telling the father, that is.

"Thanks," JJ said smiling as they pulled apart. She didn't want to let on how scared she really was. "Hey Em," she said. "Can you not tell anyone? I want to wait a little while longer and work things out before everyone finds out."

"Sure".

"You didn't let on you were scared, but I could tell you were. You made a poor choice back then to not to tell Will, but you made the very best out of the situation. So just do that again."

"What if I can't?"

"There's no doubt it's going to be hard, but you have to do it. No matter how long it takes, you'll fix it. You just need to rip the band aid off already."

"Okay. I'll do it tomorrow," JJ said, she just hoped she wouldn't repeat her mistakes.

"Good."

…

After lunch JJ went back to working on her mountains of paperwork she always had. No matter how much she cleared away or the team solved, there always seemed to be just as many there as there was before. She hadn't stopped thinking about her and Emily's conversation. She knew Emily was right, but she didn't even know how to begin that conversation with Will. Should she call him, and if she did would he even answer her calls. Or should she go over to his place, though she didn't know where that was. Or head over to his precinct and hope he was there. Then she would have to work out what to say. She couldn't just blurt out 'Henry's your son'. She hated that she was in this position again.

She heard knocking on her door, and before she could even say anything the door was opening, and Will was coming into her office, and shutting the door behind him.

"Will? What are you doing here?" She asked standing up stunned that he was in her office.

"I needed to speak to you," he said coming towards her.

"How'd you get up here?" It probably wasn't the best question to ask right now, but she was still surprised to see him standing in front of her.

"My visitors pass," Will answered.

"You were meant to give that back," she was still not sure why she was talking about this, there was so much more important things to say, but she still hadn't found the words to say yet.

"Who cares about that right now? I need to tell you something. Something I wish I told you on Saturday night. But I'm here now," he said taking her hands in his.

"What is it?" JJ asked, she wasn't really sure how this was going to go.

"I don't care if you cheated on me six years ago. Because it was six years ago. And if I have the chance to have you in my life again, I'm going to take it. I never stopped being in love with you. You're the girl I compare all other girls too, and no one's ever came close. I want to be with you. I want to try. I want to make this work. Because if you cheating on me six years ago is the worst I have to deal with, than that's fine by me."

He was a good guy. Emily was right, he didn't deserve this. Everything he said was perfect. She was at a loss for words but she knew she had to say something, so she said the first thing that came into her head. "I didn't cheat on you."

"What?" Will asked, somewhat shocked. He didn't expect that to be how she would reply.

"I'm a liar, but I'm not a cheater."

Will didn't say anything, he knew what she was saying. He was in disbelief. She lied to him. She lied to him every day of the past six years. He couldn't be here. He let go of her hands and walked back out the way he came, slamming the door behind him.
