"You didn't have to ask."

JJ sighed and flipped through the consult again. She hated bringing work home, but she was way behind on the consults that had been left on her desk and not wanting to stay at the office later than she usually did, she'd compromised by bringing some files home with her. She quickly closed the file when Henry came bounding into the room.

"Mommy!" he squealed, bouncing from foot to foot. "Will you drive to the park?"

JJ checked the clock on the wall and looked at the files she still had left to do. "I don't think so, Henry, I have a lot of work to finish." His face fell. "Why don't you go ask Momem if she'll take you?" JJ suggested.

"Kay!" Henry answered brightening and bolting out of the room.

JJ shook her head and went back to her consult, looking up again when she heard a soft knock on the open door.

"Can I take Henry to the park for a couple hours?" Emily asked, standing in the doorway uncertainly.

JJ laughed lightly. "You didn't have to ask, Em. He's your son too." Her heart warmed at the sight of the goofy smile that spread across Emily's face.
