Penelope was the first who woke up the next morning. They all must have fallen asleep during the movie. Garcia was on the one end of the couch with Henry in her arms. Looking to her right, she saw JJ and Emily snuggling close together. JJ's head was on Emily's shoulder and the older woman had wrapped her arms protectively around the Blonde's tiny body.
After all what happened yesterday, JJ seemed so peaceful, Garcia thought. She hoped that it would stay like that for a little bit longer.
Torn out of her thoughts by a moving Henry on her lap, Penelope looked down at the boy and stroked his head.
"Morning buddy." She whispered.
Henry rubbed his eyes and just smiled back at his godmother. He looked over to his mother and Emily, than back to Penelope.
"Me hungry." Garcia started laughing. Of course, he was a Jareau and needed to be fed on regular basis. She grabbed him and walked into Emily's kitchen.

A few minutes later, JJ slowly opened her eyes. She could smell some food and started to get hungry. Realizing she was half lying on her friend, the Blonde quickly pulled away and got up. In her movement, she somehow managed to tangle up in the blanket that was lying on her lap and fell down again. Right on top of Emily.
Emily opened her eyes in shook and looked at what just happened.
"Wow. That was the sweetest 'wake up' of all time." Prentiss said and laughed.
"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry Emily." JJ looked at her friend, bright red.
"Hey, it's okay. I assume it wasn't on purpose, was it?"
"No, no. Of course not!" The Blonde said quickly as she jumped up and tucked her hair behind her ears.
"JJ, I was kidding. Calm down. I'm fine." Emily smiled as she got up and grabbed her friends' hand.
"Let's go and see if we find Garcia and your son?" JJ just nodded and followed her friend, still embarrassed, into the kitchen.

"Mommy, you awake!" Henry came running towards his mother as soon as she entered the kitchen. She kneeled down to kiss him.
"Hey sweetheart. Did you sleep well?" The blonde boy nodded energetic.
"Aunt Pen and I made breakfast." JJ looked up to Garcia.
"Well, what you can call breakfast. You know how hard it is to find food in Emily's kitchen?"
"Hey, I never said I have food around here." Emily pointed out in defense.
"Yeah, yeah. I found some old toast, so my cute baby Gumdrop and I decided on making French Toast."
"Yum." Emily and JJ said at the same time.

When everybody was finished with eating, Emily and Garcia were cleaning up the kitchen while JJ took Henry to the bathroom to brush his teeth and clean him up.
"So, what's going to happen today?" The tech-analyst asked.
"I'm not sure. Henry probably wants to see Will." As Emily said his name in disgust.
"But JJ won't." The raven haired nodded.
"Let's see what JJ has to say. Maybe you take Henry if it is okay with her. I mean, you have been there yesterday. "
"Yes, we could do that." Garcia said, while placing the last plate into the dishwasher. "I'm not sure if I can face him though. What he did to our Gumdrop-"
"You don't have to go." Emily and Penelope both turned around at the sound of JJ's voice.
"But-"
"No 'buts'. You don't have to go. I won't go and Henry won't go either."
"JJ." Emily stepped closer to her friend.
"No, you heard him yesterday. Apparently he doesn't care about him and I can't be sure about what he is doing or telling Henry."
Before Emily or Garcia could reply to JJ, she turned around and left the room.
After a few exchanging glances, they also left the kitchen to go and see their friend.
Entering the living room, they saw Henry sitting on the ground in front of the TV watching some cartoon while his mother sat on the couch, obviously not watching the cartoon but her son.
Prentiss stopped and grabbed Penelope's arm.
"Can you take Henry to the playground or something? I think, I need to talk to JJ. There is something she ain't telling us."
"I know. Something is different. " With these words, Garcia walked up to the little Blonde and sat next to him.
"Hey buddy. You wanna go on a playground with me? I would loooove to build some sandcastles with my favorite godson!" Henry looked excited to Penelope. It looked like he was crying earlier though. With an enthusiastic nod from the little boy, Garcia got up and turned around to see if JJ was fine with it.
"Have fun." She said and wanted to kiss her son but Henry quickly grabbed Pen's hand and ran towards the door. Garcia looked questioning at Emily before she disappeared.
"He hates me." JJ said, and fell back onto the couch.
"No, he doesn't." Emily sat down on the little table in front of the couch, placing her hand on JJ's knee.
"Yes, he does! He told me. I'm such a terrible mother."
"JJ, he is 4. Let him pounding for a few hours and he will act like nothing happened. By the way, what did happen?" Emily asked concerned.
"He asked to see Will." JJ said quietly.
"And you said no." The raven haired saw that she guessed right when she saw her friends look in her eyes. "You know, as much as I hate to say it, maybe you should let Henry see his father." The blonde looked up at her friend in shock.
"You got to be kidding! Why would I do that?"
"Because after all what happened, Will is still his father and Henry does not understand what is going on and he needs a father."
"But you heard Will, right? He said, that he doesn't care anymore and that I could have Henry. Like he's some fucking object. I don't want that Henry hears something like that and I can't be sure what will happen if we go there again. I need to explain Henry about what is going on but before I can do that, I need to talk to Will again about what is going to happen."
"You know what is going to happen."
"We will get a divorce."
Emily got up from the coffee table to go and sit next to JJ and took her into a tight hug.
"I'm so sorry. You didn't deserve any of this. Nobody does."
"Thank you, Em. You don't have to do all of this for me."
The older again pulled away and placed her hand on the Blonde's forehead.
"Mh, it doesn't seem like you have a fever."
"Huh?" JJ looked confused at her friend.
"Well, because you are talking nonsense. Of course I will help you. I will always be there for you if you need anything." JJ chuckled.
"You are truly amazing Emily Prentiss." With these words, JJ leant in to kiss Emily on the cheek.

Both woman sat on the couch and watched some old reruns of 'Will & Grace'. JJ always watched it when she got home from a brutal case or was just in a bad mood in general. It was one of her favorite shows.
Most of the time, Emily wasn't paying any attention on what was happening on screen, rather she watched her friend. Torn out of her thoughts by the phone, Emily quickly got up to answer it.
"Prentiss."
"How is my little sunshine doing?" Garcia asked concerned.
"At the moment okay, I think."
"She doesn't want Henry to see Will."
"No, and she didn't change up her mind."
"He's still upset and angry at her. I've never seen my little boy like that. I think he is really hurt."
"JJ told me, that Henry said he hated her and now she thinks she is a terrible mother. I tried to convince her that she is not but I'm not sure if it got into JJ's head."
"I don't like that. Emily, I don't like all of that!"
"Me neither."
"Do you think it's better if I take Henry home with me? Maybe a little distance will do some good?" Garcia suggested.
"Yes, probably. I'm going to talk to JJ about it. Are you still on the playground?"
"Uh, of course we are. I just built the most awesome sandcastle of all time." Emily started to chuckle.
"Alright. Have fun. I will call you back in a few."
After Emily ended the call, she talked to JJ about Garcia's suggestion. After a few minutes of debating whether it's a good idea or not, JJ finally agreed. She would stay the night at Emily's again and Henry at Garcia's.

The day went by with JJ and Emily mostly watching TV or talking about some random things.
"Yeah, but you remember when you spilled your coffee all over Rossi?" Emily said, laughing at JJ who turned bright red.
"Oh god, Don't remember me. That was so embarrassing. It was one of his very first days. He must have thought I'm just a stupid little blonde who can't do anything!"
"It was funny though."
"Ha-ha. Very so- I'm still laughing." JJ said sarcastic and slapped Emily on the upper arm.
"I wonder what he was really thinking about you at that moment. Hey, what about we ask him tomorrow?" Emily teased. The Blonde's face fell as her friend referred to the coming day. "What?"
"I don't want to go to work." JJ said quietly.
"Why?"
"Because than I have to tell them." Emily placed her hand on JJ's and squeezed hers.
"You don't have to tell the team about Will. Just take your time."
"They will notice something is wrong. They always do."
"But they also know not to push you to something you don't want to do. But JJ, you can tell them. They will stay 100 % behind you. Just like Garcia and I do. You are family and we will protect you. I actually don't want to know what they will do to Will once you tell them. We probably all want to kill him." Emily smiled at her friend who returned it.
"Thanks."
"Anytime." Emily hugged her friend a last time. "Okay, let's go and get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day."
"Yes mom." JJ said with a laugh and disappeared into the guest bedroom.
