Author's Note: Just something I thought of this weekend, with it being Mother's Day and all. Just an fyi, I'm not a fan of Will, only because I'm a JJ/Morgan fan. If I wasn't a fan of them, then I'd totally support JJ/Will.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Enjoy. Let me know what you think!
Yawning, JJ struggled to unlock her apartment door while juggling her sleeping 2-year old son, her go-bag, and her laptop bag, which was overflowing with more cases. It was nearing 3 o'clock in the morning and they had just gotten home from a week long case in Los Angeles, investigating the disappearance of two 4-year old twins. JJ had stopped to pick up Henry from his Auntie Penelope's house, where he had been staying, since the case had come up last minute and she didn't have time to get a hold of Will.
Groaning at the thought of her ex-boyfriend, she shut the door quietly and dropped her belongings on the ground before kicking her shoes off. Will had moved out three months ago. It was a mutual agreement; at least that's what they told everyone. In reality, there had been a big blow-out when JJ had caught him cheating on her at a bar one night four months ago and it had been all downhill from there. For a month, they had tried to work passed it but in the end, JJ couldn't forgive him and he moved out. He took Henry whenever a case came up, but the rest of the time, he was with JJ.
After setting Henry into his bed, JJ wrapped her arms around herself and headed into her bedroom. Quickly stripping herself of her dress pants and blouse, she pulled a t-shirt on and crawled into her bed, falling asleep in minutes.
On the other side of town, Penelope Garcia was wide awake, doing what she does best: playing matchmaker.
"Derek! C'mon, focus on me here! I know it's late, but if you pay attention, I'll let you get your beauty sleep." She all but pleaded.
"Fine, baby girl. What's up?"
"This is your chance. Our pretty blonde friend is spending the afternoon with me tomorrow for some much needed girl time while Henry visits with his Uncle Hotch. It's Mother's day, Der! I will keep her preoccupied all afternoon, which gives you ample amount of time to come up with something to wow the socks off her feet." Penelope explained. "You have her spare key still, right?"
"Yeah. But Pen, what am I supposed to do? It's JJ. This isn't any other girl."
"Clean her apartment, make her dinner, serve her some expensive wine, and if you don't seal the deal by morning, so help me, Derek -."
"Alright, alright! I will do all of the above, except maybe sealing the deal. This is JJ we're talking about. I don't wanna rush things, baby girl."
"Rush things? You've been crushin' on this girl for over two years now!"
"I know, Pen… I just wanna do it right. Will hurt her. I don't want her to think I'll do the same, ya know?"
"Derek, she knows you. She trusts you. It's going to work." Penelope told him sternly. "Now get some sleep. You've got a busy day tomorrow."
