I am so sorry I have been so inactive. I was working none stop and then had a holiday and I just haven't had a second to breathe. I am back at Uni now and will be living at the library so updates will come a lot more swiftly for every story hopefully.

I hope you all enjoy this chapter, I really enjoyed writing it!

JJ smiled as she looked around Hotch's SUV. He had a greatest dad sticker in the corner of his windscreen window had blue dice hanging from his rear-view mirror. He saw her inspecting his dice, a smile on her face as she watched them swing from side to side.

"They were a present from Haley's father when we found out we were having a boy. Subtle and quite annoying, but I grew to like them." She laughed, nodding her head, knowing that having them there would take a while to get used to.

"I love the sticker." She smirked, Hotch turning a slight shade of red as he nodded with a laugh.

"A present of Jack when he was born." He joked, JJ's smirk turning into a genuine smile. They truly were the cutest family, even if they did have their ups and downs. She only hoped maybe her and Morgan could be that family someday. She internally blushed, shocked at herself and her thoughts. The two spent the rest of the journey in silence, JJ's eyes lighting up when they pulled up to his home.

"Your house is lovely." She commented, the two jumping out, heading towards the door.

"It isn't as tranquil inside let me tell you that." He mocked, JJ rolling her eyes at him as he opened the door. She was immediately hit with an overwhelming scent, her mouth-watering slightly. It smelt like beef and something else that was probably delicious.

"Aaron is that you?" They heard Haley call, them following the sound and smell to the kitchen were the woman was cooking away with Jack gurgling on her hip. She turned, smiling as she came over and placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you so much again JJ, we really do appreciate this." She said, JJ holding her arms out to take the young boy who was bouncing happily.

"I told you, it's no trouble at all. I'm going to hang in the living area with jack while I wait for Derek. I rode with him so currently don't have a lift home." Haley nodded and her and Hotch were thrown into conversation over what she was cooking while JJ sat on the floor in the living area, Jack crawling around her. It was no time at all until Morgan was knocking on the door, JJ grabbing all Jack's belongings while Haley greeted him.

"Hey Haley!" He smiled, entering the living room. His heart swelled at the sight of JJ with her back to him, a baby on one hip, multiple baby bags balancing on her other. He only wished it was their baby and not someone else's. He paused in his tracks, shocked by his train of thought. Woah Derek, take a step back. Snapping himself back into reality, he helped JJ with the bags, the two heading to the door, followed by the happy couple.

"He has a packet of diapers in one bag with a box of wipes and a change of clothes in case he goes through his PJ's and also his clothes for tomorrow morning. I packed a ready-made sausage casserole that will just need heating up and if he still seems hungry later, there is a small pudding in the side pocket. He doesn't really drink milk anymore but there is a bottle if he wants one. On the rare occasion he does, it's usually in the morning before breakfast." Nodding, the two memorised the details. "Would you shoot me if I thanked you again?" Haley asked, cringing when Derek groaned, everyone laughing.

"Honestly, don't worry about it! We will see you both in the morning for breakfast." They left, waving goodbye as they strapped Jack in and headed to JJ's.

"How about we pick up a pizza and have a movie night?" Derek offered, JJ nodding her head, really liking the sound of pizza. Once they had stopped off at the place around the corner from JJ's and had their pizzas, they pulled up outside her house, Jack clapping as the car came to a stop again.

"Let's get settled before these pizzas get cold." JJ and Derek went to work getting everything ready. While Derek heated up Jack's sausage casserole, he watched as the boy played on the floor, Clooney flopping down next to him making Jack laugh as loud as Derek had heard him. JJ was in their bedroom setting up the pop-up cot Haley had given them, making sure it was securely up and made for him to go straight to sleep before throwing on a large sweatshirt and shorts. Her and Derek traded, him going to get changed while JJ checked on Jack's food and changed his diaper quickly. By the time the food was heated and the pizza was set up, Toy Story was playing quietly in the background as everyone ate happily. Jack was sat in his high chair messily feeding himself while JJ and Derek were sat on her large sofa eating their pizzas.

"I have to say, we are pretty good at this." JJ commented, Derek nodding in agreement. Both their minds flashed back to the previous thoughts they had, the two going quiet as they continued to think. Suddenly Derek blurted out a question, JJ surprisingly not shocked.

"You want kids in the future, right?" She laughed at how terrified her sounded, nodding her head.

"Of course I do. Not yet, but in a few years most definitely." Sighing, he nodded, JJ kissing his cheek before the dove back into their food. Once they were finished and Jack was all cleaned up, they sat back on the sofa with him lying happily next to Clooney who was propping him up. JJ took this moment to check her phone, having not been on it all night. She was surprised to see 6 missed calls off Penelope and 4 off Elle, a list of text messages following from their group chat.

Penelope: Where ARE you?!

Elle: I'm standing right next to you Pen?

Penelope: NOT YOU- JAYJE! We went to your office at 5.30 and you were gone!

Elle: Yeah, we looked everywhere for you and couldn't even find Derek! Gideon said you had left with Hotch? Where are you going with Hotch?

Penelope: Girl you better answer us. We wanted a lift home, now what are we going to do?

Elle: Reid did offer us a lift home…

Penelope: I AM NOT, I REPEAT, NOT DRIVING HOME IN THAT DEATH BUCKET THAT REID DRIVES!

JJ laughed to herself, Derek turning to look at her with a frown.

"What are you laughing at?" He smirked, JJ pulling her phone away from him, telling him to pull out his own. He frowned when the screen lit up, then his eyes went wide.

"12 missed calls off Garcia, 9 off Elle? 13 text messages? What the hell?"

Penelope: Derek Anthony Morgan where are you?

Penelope: Oh no, don't you ignore me. I still haven't grilled you on what happened with JJ so where are you?

Penelope: Jayje is gone as well so I know you two are together- spill- where are you going and why and how and WHY WITHOUT LETTING ME KNOW FIRST?

Penelope: Derek

Penelope: Anthony

Penelope: Morgan

Penelope: ANSWER THE PHONE

Penelope: I wanted a lift home. I am hungover and dying and all you and JJ seem to care about is yourselves. Selfish is all I am saying.

Penelope: You left with Hotch? WHY? What is happening?

Penelope: No Derek Reid is offering to give me a lift home in his coffin on wheels please come and save me.

Penelope: I hate you

Penelope: You and Jayje owe me. And apparently Hotch does as well now? BECAUSE YOU LEFT WITH HIM AND NOT ME AND ELLE.

Elle: Penelope said you're toast when she sees you next!

He was loudly laughing next to JJ, Jack joining in, though he had no idea what anyone was laughing in. Next Clooney was howling and suddenly nobody had any idea anymore what they were all laughing at. JJ was now on the floor with Clooney and Jack, tickling him, only making everyone laugh harder. Derek joined them, though Clooney attacked and was slobbering all over him, Derek crying out in disgust. After twenty minutes of laughter and tickle fights, everyone was lying together, panting with a smile on their faces. Half way through the Little Mermaid, Jack and JJ fell asleep next to each other, Derek soaking in the sight with a smile.

"Clooney, I think I love her." He whispered, rubbing his dogs head lovingly before picking Jack up and taking him to bed. Once he was sure he was comfortable wrapped in the blankets JJ had laid out, he set out to clear everything away before moving JJ. Once the kitchen was done and Clooney was sleep in his bed, he locked all the doors and windows and turned everything off. Lifting her up in his arms, he carried her to her bedroom, pulling back the duvet, tucking her in. He turned to head into the spare bedroom down the hall when JJ suddenly grabbed his hand, her eyes still closed.

"Stay with me tonight?" JJ didn't hear anything for a moment, but smiled when she felt the bed shift next to her and Derek was at her side. She immediately cuddled up to him and fell back asleep, Derek placing a tender kiss on her forehead before following in suit; he was asleep the second he closed his eyes.

Okay so this next bit has nothing to do with the story so you can ignore it if you want but while you're at the bottom of the page you can drop me a review :)

ANYWAY

On one of my old accounts I had a story called 2 Months that I left if a permanent hiatus due to the topic hitting very close to home for me. I have recently looked back into the story and would LOVE to re-write it with a similar story line but obviously updated and a lot better. If you could take the time to look the story over and give me your opinion on re-writing it, I would be so grateful. You can find it on GOTTALOVECM (that was the original version).

Much appreciated and I hope you all have an amazing day!
