I am so sorry with how MIA I have been on all my stories. My summer was ripped away from me when my dad got me a full time summer job at his office and I hardly ever get a second to myself anymore.
I hope you all enjoy this small filler chapter and I will hopefully be updating more over the next few weeks, on all my stories.
JJ and Morgan watched as Hotch approached his wife who was in the foyer outside the bullpen. JJ was in the middle of changing Jack, blowing raspberries in his face, the baby thrashing around with laughter.
"I offered our babysitting duties to Hotch. He seemed really beat about how he and Hayley have been lately and I wanted to reassure him slightly. I hope you don't mind." Morgan said, JJ shaking her head with a smile, picking the now clean and clothed baby up, resting him on her hip.
"Of course not Derek! I love Jack and would kill to spend more time with him. Plus, I'd do anything to help their marriage; they have been together since high school and I would hate to see something as stupid as this job tear apart something so beautiful. I mean, look at how they look at each other." Derek agreed, nodding his head. They quickly looked away from the pair as they headed into the bullpen up to Hotch's office, the two fussing over Jack as they walked in. Looking up, Derek smiled, having never met Hayley before.
"Hayley, this is SSA Derek Morgan and of course you know JJ- the blonde who is clearly trying to kidnap our son." He raised an eyebrow at JJ who was inching further into the office with Jack, a smug smile on her face. Hayley and Derek laughed, shaking hands.
"It's nice to meet you Derek. Aaron tells me you two have offered to watch Jack? I hope asking for tonight isn't too short notice." JJ jumped up straight away, shaking her head.
"No of course not, we would love to." Grinning, Hayley shared appreciative looks with the two agents, JJ passing Jack over to her.
"Thank you both so much. We really appreciate it."
"I will follow Hotch home when we finish and pick Jack up. We can have him overnight if you like and then all meet up for breakfast in the morning?" JJ offered, Morgan nodding along, Hotch shaking his head.
"The fact you are taking him tonight on such short notice is enough. We couldn't possibly-"Derek interrupted him, holding out his hand when Jack reached out to him, gurgling.
"Please Hotch, it's the least we can do. This little guy is anything but a burden." He pulled tongues towards Jack, the four laughing when he did the same. He then let go and reached for Hotch, the man grabbing him out of Hayley's arms.
"Dada." He whispered happily, latching onto his nose, Hayley's heart soaring.
"I will help you get him in the car. Thank you both again." He turned to his agents before heading out, Hayley nodding her thanks again.
"I will see you tonight." The two waved goodbye, JJ falling onto Derek's chest thoughtfully, him wrapping his arm around her shoulder.
"We are good people." He mocked, JJ laughing, despite the fact he was right.
"Come on, we have paperwork to do." She turned and kissed him lightly on the lips, the two leaving Hotch's office, JJ dropping Derek off at his desk before heading to her own. It was another hour later before JJ was disturbed, her door flying open revealing two very hung-over women.
"He took you to his place?" Elle exclaimed, JJ shushing them, ushering the two inside, Penelope shutting the door behind her as they sat down on the sofa opposite JJ's desk.
"He took you to his place?" Garcia repeated in a quieter tone, JJ rolling her eyes.
"Well considering I had two unconscious women on my sofa, I didn't really feel comfortable inviting him in for coffee in the kitchen." She said slightly annoying, the two blushing.
"We didn't know how long you would be and Elle suggested we watched Armageddon and you know how that film gets to me- I needed wine to comfort me." The blonde complained, JJ laughing slightly, standing so she was leaning against the front of her desk.
"Whatever- but you two owe me replacements." Elle held her hand up, nodding her head.
"We promise, now come on, details please!" Sitting on the edge of the sofa, the two bounced eagerly waiting for the juicy sex details, disappointed however when JJ gave them the complete opposite.
"We sat and talked, and then I went to sleep in his spare room with his dog. There was no making out, any sex just, intimate conversation about everything and anything." Garcia slumped back slightly, expecting more juice than that.
"We rushed here, hungover, for you to tell us, you and the chocolate God, sat and talked?" Nodding, the blonde groaned leaning her head against the back of the sofa. "I can't believe his dog got more action than he did." Elle and JJ laughed, Elle looking back up at JJ.
"How was it, you know, without getting too intimate with each other? Did you two click?"
"Yeah we really did. He woke up early and made us both breakfast and it felt, normal. Like, I could see myself doing it every day for the rest of my life." The two women on the sofa shared a look as JJ stared off dreamingly thinking about Derek, Elle holding her hand up for Garcia to high five.
"We did good Pen; we did so good. Cupids- out." Standing, the two exited the office, JJ laughing in shock at the two as they shut the door behind themselves. She did have to admit though, they did do good.
The day went by swiftly after that, JJ closing her last case file as Derek popped his head in the door.
"Hotch is packing up if you're ready. If not, I can go ahead and get jack." JJ shook her head standing, grabbing her bag from the floor.
"No I'm all set. I was thinking you could go and pick Clooney up and he could stay at mine with us. Saves us leaving him alone all night." Morgan nodded, following JJ out, the two spotting Hotch by the elevator.
"Thank you both again for tonight. I know you didn't have to offer and it's stealing the night away from you both." JJ shook her head, looking up at Derek with a smile.
"It's our honour Hotch really. We are here whenever you need us. Derek is going to go and get Clooney and some food while I get Jack with you." They all climbed into the elevator, Hotch looking at Derek with a frown.
"Clooney?"
"Oh, my dog. Don't worry, he is house trained and the dopiest dog ever- your son is in safe hands with him. JJ just didn't want to leave him in my apartment alone for the night." Nodding, JJ placed her hand on her heart mockingly.
"I'm only dating him for his dog." The three burst out into fits of laughter, heading out to their cars. JJ groaned out loud, Hotch stopping in his tracks.
"Is everything okay JJ?"
"I came here with Derek this morning because I stayed at his. My SUV is at home. I cannot believe I only just realised." Derek jumped right in, laughing slightly.
"It's not the end of the world Jayje. I will drop Clooney off and come and pick you and Jack up from Hotch's and we can pick something up on the way home. Is she okay riding with you? I won't be more than half an hour."
"Of course. Come on, we will see you in a bit." He smiled, opening the passenger side door for JJ to climb in, the two SUV's speeding off into the night in opposite directions.
