A/N: Hey everyone! Thank you for checking out chapter one and coming back for two. Please let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas as to where this story should go. This chapter is kind of short, but I will try to make the next one longer. Thanks and hope you enjoy!

JJ couldn't keep her mind off of Reid. He had saved her life… and she couldn't help but think, that in the process, she had turned both of theirs upside down.

JJ knew, without a shadow of a doubt, they would have died in that store if Spence hadn't broken his restraints. She wanted to thank him. She wanted to call him, but she knew that the conversation they needed to have, would have to be done in person.

"Mom!" Henry came running down the stairs.

JJ had picked her boys up from school a couple of hours ago… something she was only able to do because of Reid. Tears filled her eyes at that thought, but she quickly blinked them away and turned to her son. "Yeah buddy?"

"I'm hungry. When can we eat?"

JJ laughed. "You're always hungry. I'm going to start dinner in a few minutes. Did you finish your homework?"

"Um…"

The blonde gave her son a pointed look. "Go finish please. Dinner should be ready by then." She smirked when Henry huffed and ran back up the stairs. Her boys never ceased to brighten her day.

Moments later, when she was working on the spaghetti, JJ heard the front door open… Will was home. She knew she should be happy about that, but as of lately, it seemed like all they did was fight. Sure, they never had the easiest marriage, but the past year had been really bad. They both constantly felt like they were walking on eggshells around each other, never knowing if what they just said would spark another argument… and Will blamed it all on JJ's job.

"Well you did make it home."

JJ spun around and saw Will standing in the doorway. "Um… of course. What did you think, I would stay in LA?"

"Seems like you're always finding a reason to stay away from home." Will spoke with an accusatory tone.

Scoffing, JJ turned back to the stove. Clearly, tonight wasn't going to be any different. "Seriously Will? You walked in two minutes ago, and you're already starting on this?"

"I'm gonna go see the boys." Will simply walked out of the room.

JJ sighed and shook her head. 'Here we go again'.

The family of four had dinner together, JJ and Will remained civil for the kids, but they both knew there was a conversation to be had.

After Henry and Michael were in bed, JJ joined Will in the living room. "Are we going to talk about this?"

Will sat staring at the television. "It depends JJ, are you going to stick around long enough to talk?"

The agent looked disbelievingly at her husband. "Seriously? I am sitting here, ready to have an actual conversation with you. Is this how it's going to be the whole time?"

Will sighed. "I guess not, or we won't get anywhere… so… talk."

"Will, this past year has been bad. You know it just as well as I do. We've never fought like this before. It's more frequent, more aggressive than ever before."

"Well, how do you think it makes me feel that you're gone all the time?"

JJ took a deep breath. "There it is. You blame everything on my job. I know you've hated it ever since before we got married, but are you honestly going to say that it is the only reason for all of our problems?"

When Will spoke again, his voice was more elevated. "You are never home! You'd rather be away than spend time with me and the boys. We are your family JJ."

"Yes you are my family. I love you and the boys. I don't like to be away from you guys, but I love my job too. It, and everything else I do is for this family."

Will scoffed. "Yeah right. Are you saying that going out of town every week is beneficial to me and the kids?!" At this point, he was up pacing the floor.

JJ cut her eyes to the stairs. "Keep your voice down. I'm saying my job takes sacrifice, but I do it because I am trying o make this world a better place for our children."

Will rolled his eyes. "Oh there you go with that. You can't save the world JJ."

"You have absolutely no respect for my job, and now I'm seeing you don't have any for me either. We can't go on like this, Will. How long do you think this marriage will last if we do?"

"Probably not long, if you have your way about it."

JJ tried desperately to keep her temper in check. "Are you hearing yourself right now? Do you blame all of our problems on me? Because from where I'm standing, we've both played a part in this marriage going sideways."

Will didn't respond. For the second time that night, he left the room without a second glance towards his wife.

JJ sighed deeply. If this marriage was going to work, some major changes would have to take place… but being totally honest with herself, she wasn't sure if she wanted it to work anymore.
