JJ growled as she woke up the next morning. She knew something had woken her but couldn't tell what it was. She looked at the clock which said it was 6:36 and than then she heard something coming from out side her bedroom door. JJ sat up in bed confused. 'What the hell is that' she thought, that was when she remembered what day it was and what had happened the night before. Her home was filled to bursting point with people she loved and cared for.
JJ could hear the noise that had woken her up again, it was whispers coming from outside her bedroom door and she listened harder.
"Do you think Auntie JJ is awake yet?" She heard a little voice ask.
"Shhhh I don't know, lets listen and see if we can hear anything" That one was a woman's voice.
"You two can come in if you want." JJ whispered with a smile crossed her face as the door creaked open. Standing there was Jack in a very cute set of superman Pyjamas and next to him stood Penelope in a bright green and red dressing gown.
"MORNmahmahg" Jack started to shout but was quietened down by Garcia's hand being placed over his mouth. She was well aware that Henry was still asleep on the other side of JJ's bed.
"Jack you can come in but you have to whisper for me ok? Henrys still asleep." JJ whispered pointing to the sleeping baby. Jack nodded and Garcia moved his hand.
"Sorry Auntie JJ" Jack whispered looking a little sad thinking he was in trouble.
"Its ok buddy, don't worry about." Jacks face seemed to light up when he saw that neither women were mad at him.
"Come and sit on the bed you two." JJ patted the spot in front of her. Jack and Garcia sat them self's in the bed after giving JJ a hug and wishing her a Merry Christmas. Jack was sat in front of JJ and Garcia was perched on the other side of the bed.
"So jack have you opened your stocking from Santa?" JJ asked the exited little boy.
"No," he shook his head "Daddy and Uncle Rossi were snoring and I didn't want to wake them up." Both Garcia and JJ giggled at the thought of both grown men snoring their heads off.
"Well quietly go and get it, and you can open it in here." JJ said resting her head on Garcia's shoulder. As quietly as a 5 year old could jack jumped of the bed and ran to the nursery.
"Are you ok buttercup?" Garcia whispered to JJ.
JJ was about to answer when Henry started to cry. "Right on cue" JJ laughed. She reached over and picked up the baby. As soon as he was in JJ's arms his crying stopped and it turned into normal baby gargles.
"Good Morning baby boy and Merry Christmas." JJ kissed Henry on his forehead.
"Yeah Merry first Christmas baby buttercup." Garcia said as she rummaged in her pocket for something "I have something for you." She pulled out a little blue package with snowflakes on it "If it's ok with you JJ?"
When JJ nodded Garcia handed the little box to the baby.
"You know Pen, he can't open it" JJ giggled at her best friend.
"Yes he can he's a super baby." Garcia glared at JJ then laughed. "Ok" Garcia opened the box and pulled out a silver rattle. She shook it once and when Henry held out his hand she gave it to him.
"Pen that's beautiful, Thankyou." JJ kissed Garcia on the cheek "You really need to stop spoiling him."
"Never!" Garcia point blank refused "It's got his name and date of birth on it."
Jack ran back in the room dragging a bright red sock behind him. He stopped in his tracks when he spotted Henry was up.
"Opps." Jack said.
"What's wrong Jack?" Garcia asked.
"Did I wake Henry?" Jack looked worried.
"No you didn't. He normally wakes up about this time." JJ said. Henry shook his new rattle and giggled "C'mon lets see what Santa brought you."
Jack jumped up on the bed and started pulling out little knickknacks. Garcia, Jack and JJ spent the next half an hour talking and playing with Jacks little toys.
They stopped when there was a nock at the door.
"Come in." JJ said. The door creaked open and Hotch popped his head round the corner.
"I was just looking for a little boy named Jack, I was wondering if you have seen him?"
"DADDY!" Jack yelled from his spot on the bed "IM HERE SILLY!"
Hotch walked in and closed the door behind him.
"There you are. I didn't see you around all those presents. Are they all from Santa?" Hotch sat himself on the bed and pulled jack onto his lap.
"Yeah look what he got me." Jack started waving different things in front of Hotch's face. It continued till the last thing in the old pile was held up "And a packed of chocolate buttons."
"WOW! That's a lot of things Jack. Put it all back in your stocking and then we can go and wake everyone else up." Hotch sat Jack back on the bed and turned his attention to JJ and Garcia who had been watching the father and son interact.
"Merry Christmas Ladies." He said with a very rare Hotch Smile.
"Merry Christmas" The ladies said together.
"Sorry about him, I hope he wasn't too much trouble."
"Its ok boss man" Garcia started to explain how she found jack awake "I had been up for abut half an hour. I couldn't sleep I was too exited. I was about to wake Emily up then I heard the pitter patter of little feet on the landing. I found Jack at the top of the stairs. I think he was debating on where to go. Then we heard JJ saying we could come in and that's it." Hotch and JJ laughed as Garcia took a much needed breath.
"What time was he awake?"
"They came in here around 6:30." JJ said shifting Henry to a different position as her arm had gone dead.
"I'm done daddy." Jack said jumping of the bed.
"Ok let's go and wake up Uncle Rossi, Garcia can you wake up Emily?" Hotch asked and Garcia nodded.
Hotch, Jack and Garcia walked out the room leaving JJ and Henry in the bed alone.
"I think were going to be ok big guy." JJ said looking down at Henry.
She climbed out of bed to get ready to go down stairs.
15 minutes later JJ and Henry were joined at the top of the stairs by Garcia, Jack and Hotch. Then a very sleep looking Rossi and Emily were close behind them.
"Merry Christmas Guys." Emily said hugging JJ and yawning.
Rossi just growled and it was interrupted by every one as him also whishing him seasons greetings.
"Can we go down stairs now daddy?" Jack said pulling on Hotch's arm.
"Ok but Uncle Morgan and Reid have to be awake before you can open any presents." Hotch scooped Jack into his arms.
"Ok, ok, let's go." Jack said fidgeting in his arms.
The 7 people reached the door of the front room and froze.
"WOW!" Jack said looking at the Christmas tree but the others stood there looking at the picture in front of them. Reid was lying on the floor in front of the fire and Morgan was on the couch with a pillow over his head. Everyone laughed.
"DADDY! Put me down. I need to wake them up, I have to open my presents NOW!" Jack wiggled free of Hotch and ran over to the couch and jumped on Morgan.
"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! IT'S CHRISTMAS. IT'S TIME…." Jack stopped yelling and started giggling as Morgan sat up and started tickling the little boy. Jacks yelling also woke Reid up who was now sitting on a chair holding his head in his hands.
"I think I'll go and make some coffee" JJ laughed, handed Henry to Emily and walked off to the kitchen.
30 minutes later Henry had his bottle, Jack had drunk his orange juice and the adults had all had their caffeine fix.
"Ok who's first?" Morgan asked as he took his seat in front of the presents. He was going to play Santa and hand them all out.
"ME! Can I have one please?" Jack said with his hand in the air.
"You want one?" Morgan asked the little boy and he nodded "Have you been good?"
"Yes I have, honest, ask daddy." Jack pointed to Hotch.
"Well I don't know." Hotch rubbed his chin.
"WHAT! I have been good daddy. I've tided my bedroom and everything." Jack was almost pleading.
"Ok you've been good."
"YESSSS!" Jack screeched and held his arms out for presents.
The rest of the morning passed quickly and by lunch time everyone was changed out of their PJ's. Jack, Reid and Morgan were playing with the set of cars Jack had received from Rossi. Emily and Garcia were sat on the couch playing with Henry. Hotch and Rossi were in the kitchen making a start on the Christmas dinner and JJ was standing in the door way of the two watching the team bond with each other drinking a glass of eggnog.
Deep down she felt a little bad that they thought they had to cancel their Christmas plans because she was feeling lonely, but now looking at them all she was glad they did because it meant that both she and Henry had some normality and that she was having one of the best Christmases she had had in years.
JJ's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of her house phone. She reached over to the counter top and answered it not looking at the number on the screen.
"Hello." She said with a laugh as Henry threw one of his new toys at Garcia.
"Hey Jay." JJ dropped her glass, it smashed when it hit the floor. Everyone looked at JJ with worry. She had gone a ghostly white and her now free hand was shaking a little.
"Jay baby are you there." Will's deep southern accent filled her head.
Hotch walked over to JJ and put his hand on her elbow.
"JJ are you ok." By this point all the adults had stood up from their spots and were walking over to JJ. She ignored Hotch's question and answered the man down the phone.
"Yes Will, I'm here, what do you want?" her voice shook a little. The team looked at each other, some faces were filled with worry but others were filled with anger.
"I'm sorry Jay, I just miss you and I love you so much." Will said.
"Put it on speaker Jayje" Morgan whispered in her ear. She pressed the button and everyone could hear what he was saying.
"I never stopped loving you baby and I miss you so much."
"No Will. You can't do this, its not fare." Tears were welling in JJ's eyes.
"Please forgive me baby, I can't handle being a dad, I'm not ready." The team of profilers heard what he was saying and they couldn't understand why he called if he still didn't want the baby.
"No! I won't forgive you. You haven't even asked how the baby is. Do you have any idea the damage you caused Will? I went into early labour because of the stress you caused. And now you're calling me saying you still don't want the baby but you still love me. What do you want?" Tears were finally falling down JJ's face and her hand was tightly wrapped in Emily's.
"I want you back baby. Leave the kid with one of your so called friends and come and see me." Will was starting to sound angry.
The hurt JJ was feeling turned to anger with Will's last sentence.
"How dare you!" JJ was furious and now so was everyone else listening into the convocation "I would never leave my baby for a scum back like you! And these 'so called' friends have been here for me more in the last 4 months than you have been in the last two years. You are a disgusting, vial, abusive, drunk and you deciding to walk out on me was the best thing you have ever done."
"You Bitch! You are nothing without me. You couldn't even keep that thing inside you without me there to hold your hand. You'll come running back to me Jennifer, just you wait!"
JJ looked at the phone stunned into silence. Morgan grabbed the phone "Look here you son of a bitch! If you ever come within 100 yards of JJ I will make you wish you had never been born." If Will was there he would have been flat on his back by now.
"OH how did I know you lot would be there to protect poor pathetic JJ" Will spat down the phone.
Rossi grabbed the phone off Morgan, turned off the loud speaker and walked out into the back garden to have a few words with Will.
"JJ are you ok?" Hotch asked putting a hand on her shoulder. Henry started to cry from his travel cot where he had been placed. They all looked over to find Jack standing next to it looking at the group of adults with a scared look on his face.
"Was that a bad man daddy?" Jack asked over Henrys cries.
Hotch walked over to his son and knelt down in front of him "Yeah buddy, Can you go and play with you Lego in the dining room please, I will be in there in a minute"
Jack nodded and walked off. Emily giddied JJ to the couch as Hotch picked Henry up and handed him to JJ, he immediately stopped crying. They sat in silence till Rossi came back and sat down with the group.
"Well?" Emily asked her arm resting round JJ.
"He shouldn't be bothering you again JJ." Rossi stated.
"Thankyou." She whispered. The shock of the situation seemed to leave JJ and she became more aware of everyone looking at her.
"JJ can I ask you a question?" Morgan asked from the chair by the fire. JJ looked at him and nodded "Did Will ever hit you?"
"No" She looked at everyone and the looks seemed to say they didn't believe her "No really he never hit me, it was more verbal abuse. He would drink a lot then start yelling at me."
"Well he's gone now, you don't have to worry about him buttercup. You have us to look after you." Garcia said from JJ's other side.
She looked at Garcia and smiled.
"I know." JJ whispered. She thought now was a good time to bust them.
"Know what JJ?" Hotch asked from the smaller couch.
"What you guys did for me." JJ looked up and at each and every one of them.
"We have no idea what you're talking about baby girl." Morgan added.
"I looked online last night, I wanted to see how far the black out had spread. When I couldn't find any reports I checked the flight plan and your flight wasn't cancelled." JJ looked at Morgan.
"Busted." Morgan sighed.
"Don't be mad at us Jayje, we all saw how much you were struggling and we didn't want you to be on your own." Garcia hugged JJ.
"I'm not mad at you, well maybe a tiny little bit but not really. I just, I didn't want you to cancel your plans for me because I couldn't deal with being alone."
"JJ we did it once and we would all do it again." Rossi said and seemed to now clam down.
"Thankyou, all of you, it means a lot." JJ wiped the happy tear from her eye.
"Don't mention it baby girl." Morgan got up and hugged JJ.
"DADDY!" Jack yelled from the other room.
"What's wrong?" Hotch yelled back.
"Can I come back yet?" a little voice yelled back.
"Yeah c'mon." seconds later Jack came running back in. He picked up one of his new toys.
"Can we all play this?" Jack held up a board game he had received from Spencer.
"Uncle Rossi and I have to go and finish dinner but I'm sure everyone else will play with you" Hotch and Rossi got up from the couch and went to the kitchen, while everyone else sat round the coffee table and set up the game
A few hours later everyone was stuffed from the dinner and sitting round talking. Hotch tapped the side of his glass to get everyone's attention.
"I have one last gift to give out" Hotch stood up and reached into his jacked "Well when I say I, I actually mean we." Out of his jacket Hotch pulled an envelope. JJ was the only one round the table that didn't seem to know what was going on. Hotch walked round the table, He took Henry out of JJ's arm's and gave her the envelope.
"That's for both you and Henry." Reid said from across the table.
JJ looked at all of them for a second then opened the envelope. She pulled out the content and read threw it.
"Oh My God guys, I can't take this!" a very shocked JJ put the paper down on the table.
"Jayje, we set up that trust fund for Henry and to take a bit of weight of your shoulders." Garcia handed the papers back to JJ.
"With the amount of money in there and the interest, by the time Henry Starts College there should be enough to pay for everything he will need." Rossi added.
"This is a lot of money; I can't take this from you." JJ tried to decline.
"JJ" Emily got from her seat and knelt down next to JJ's chair "We want to do this. We all had the option not to but we all did. We all wanted to help you out." Emily wiped away the tears that had fallen from JJ's face "Please let us help you Jayje."
JJ pulled Emily into a hug then went round the table hugging everyone else and saying massive thankyou's.
"You're all amazing, do you know that?" She said taking Henry back.
"Yeah we've been told that." Garcia giggled.
"Look daddy" Jack pointed to the window. "It's snowing!"
Everyone got up and went to the window.
The moon was high in the sky and the snow was settling on the ground. In the window of a large house in a quite street stood a family, A family that know one could break. No matter how hard the monsters under the bed tried to hurt them, their always there for each other and none of them would ever be alone.
