JJ was confined to the hospital for another week. Her recovery was progressing nicely, but she still had to be careful given the placement of the healing wound. One wrong move could tear the stitches and set her recovery back.

JJ was going stir crazy during that week. She was able to get up and move around some, but it wasn't for long at a time, and then she had to get back in bed. If it was up to her, she would have already been home, and back to normal activities.

Will brought Henry and Michael by every day. The two adults remained friendly towards each other, hoping to keep things relatively normal for the boys. At least two BAU agents were there every day to see JJ, and she was really grateful for their company and support.

When it came time for JJ to go home, her and Will decided on a plan for handling the separation and divorce. Will would go home with JJ in order to help her out with her recovery, then after she returned to work, he would move into an apartment.

It would be a challenge handling the custody agreement, given both JJ and Will's hectic work schedules, but they eventually decided on something that would best fit all of them.

They also had to decide on how to talk to the boys… and that's what scared JJ. She knew it would be a huge adjustment for everyone, but she was worried as to how the boys would take it… especially Henry, given his age. Fortunately, Michael was still a little young to understand what was going on.

JJ was ordered by her doctor, to take two weeks to recover before returning to work. That, she had mixed feelings about. On one hand, she would get to spend some more time with her sons, and it would give her and Will additional time to sort things out. On the other, she knew she would miss her job and team, as she already had been while in the hospital.

The first week JJ was home, nothing was said to the boys about the upcoming changes. Will started searching online for a close by apartment, and discreetly packed up some of his things. He also started sleeping in the guest room.

The team was constantly checking in on JJ. They would either call or text whenever they had the chance. Some of them would even stop by every few days.

Spence stuck to checking in over the phone. He thought it would be best given the circumstances, but he was faithful to call every evening… and to prevent what happened before, after talking to JJ each night, he would also talk to Henry and Michael. Before hanging up, he would recite them a bedtime story.

JJ wasn't sure who enjoyed that more.. The boys or Spence. She loved the bond that her kids had with their godfather, and she was grateful that it had been patched up after everything that happened between him and herself. She was also grateful to have her best friend back in her life. She couldn't handle losing him again.

Contrary to what Will believed, JJ wasn't divorcing him to be with Spencer. She ultimately believed that this was the best thing for everyone. She knew their marriage wasn't going to last, so it was better to end it now, before things got worse between the two. She wasn't planning on running to Reid after the divorce papers were signed. If, however, something happened later down the road, they would cross that bridge when they came to it. Right now, she was going to focus on her and the boys.

A/N: Hey! I know this chapter was really short, and I apologize for that, but before I continue, I am trying to decide between a couple of routes to take with this story. Right now I am updating every two weeks, but I will try to have the next chapter up before then… and I promise it will be longer.

Thank you for reading, and please let me know what you think!
