Okay so this chapter is more about how Henry feels about everything that is happening.
Chapter 7-trying
Henry was sat in playing in his play area in the living room he looked over to see his parents sat talking knowing it was adult talk as his daddy called it. He was confused with what had being going on, he did not understand why is daddy could not walk or why is mummy cried every night in her sleep. He wanted to be grown up so that he could show is parents that everything was okay and that he loved them and that they were his heroes and wanted to be just like them when he was all grown up.
Henry looked up and saw his mummy get up and walk out of the room and into her bedroom slamming the door, He jumped a little at the noise he didn't like it when is parents had a fight it always made him upset and scared, He put down his toy and walked over to his daddy who was running his hand through his hair.
Will-DAMN IT
Henry watched as his dad punched the table, Will looked up to see Henry stood staring at him with his bright blue eyes
Henry-Daddy is you okay?
Will let out a little smile at his son not wanting to upset him
Will-Yeah buddy I'm fine why don't you go carry on playing okay
Henry-Can I go draw in my room?
Will-Sure you can buddy
Henry ran off towards his bedroom and stopped in front of his parents' bedroom he opened the door a little bit to see his mum laid in bed crying. He closed the door behind him and went into his bedroom and sat at his mini table and started drawing a picture for his mummy to cheer her up. Once he had finished drawing his picture he decided to try and tidy up his room so that JJ didn't have to do it. He jumped onto his bed and sat on the pillow pulling the bed covers up so that they were straight he had watched JJ do it everyday, he picked up his toys putting them into their rightful boxes. After he finished cleaning up he sat on his bed and took down the photo frame from his shelf, It was a picture of him JJ and Will on his 3rd birthday .It was the best day of his life JJ had taken the day off work so they could go to the zoo and see all the animals and how he asked if he could get a pet. But they said he wasn't allowed one until he was a bit older.
JJ cleaned herself up after crying for a little while her and Will had being fighting again but this time things were getting worse, there nanny had quit as she got accepted to college which meant there was no one to help Will or Henry, JJ new she may have to take more time off work than she intended just until they were back on their feet, But Will was working on it he was going to Physiotherapy everyday and even trying to exercise at home. She was finding all of this harder than she ever thought it would be she just couldn't take it anymore she needed help but she didn't know who to ask. Once she cleaned herself up she headed into the kitchen to make Henry some lunch to see Will asleep on the sofa, she got all the stuff out of the fridge to make Henry's favourite sandwich ham and cheese. Once she'd made the sandwich and got him some fruit to eat with it as well she set it out onto the table and headed to his room to see the door half closed she walked in to see him sat holding a photo frame and his favourite teddy bear . She smiled at the sight not wanting the moment to end.
JJ-Hey buddy lunch is ready
Henry-Okay
Henry put the photo frame back on its shelf and picked up his teddy bear and climbed off his bed walking towards his mum.
JJ-hey did you clean your room?
Henry nodded and smiled at his mum running out the room and into the kitchen to eat his lunch. JJ followed him into the kitchen and cleaned up while he ate. She sat down next to him.
JJ-hey I have to nip into to work you okay coming with me?
Henry-Yay see uncle Spence?
JJ-yep see uncle Spence now eat up so we can get going okay.
JJ got up and wrote a note for Will saying she had taken Henry with her and that she needed to nip into work. She put on a change of clothes out of her track suit bottoms and vest top into some jeans and a nice fitted top and jacket, she grabbed her bag and waited for Henry to get his coat and shoes on. Once they got to the BAU Henry took hold of his mother's hand following her out of the lift and into the bullpen where the team were sat doing paper work.
Reid looked up from his desk to see JJ and Henry walking over to them he smiled he hadn't seen the god son in a couple of weeks.
Reid-Well hey there Henry
Emily and Morgan looked up from their desks to see Henry running over to Reid

JJ walked up to Hotch's office and knocked on the door and went in
Hotch-JJ hey
JJ-hey
JJ sat down in the chair opposite his desk
Hotch-I thought you were taking some time off?

JJ laughed a little
JJ-honestly better than he was he's really trying but we just keep fighting one minute were okay next were just ignoring each other until we can't take it then we make up and do it all over again.

Back in the bull pen Henry was sat watching Reid do magic tricks and laughing at them
Henry-Again again he said clapping his hands
Emily and Morgan sat and watched as Henry laughed they didn't know the last time they saw him laugh
Morgan-Yo me little man tell me how you doing?
Henry looked up at Derek and got off of Reid's lap and walked over to him, Morgan picked up placing him on his lap, Henry put his arms around him hugging him. Morgan looked down as he saw Henry hugging him not knowing what was wrong with him
Morgan-Hey hey what's up?
Henry-They keep fighting and it scaring me.
Morgan exchange looks with Emily and Reid
Morgan-You know mummy and daddy love you right?
Henry nodded clutching onto Morgan

Henry-Can we keep this our secret?
Morgan-You got it little man
JJ walked out of the office and down to Henry
Henry-Mummy
JJ wiped a tear from her eyes
JJ-hey you ready to go
Morgan put Henry down and gave him a hug, After everyone hugged them goodbye JJ and Henry went home. Once JJ and made dinner she ran Henry a bath and bathed him before making him go to bed. Once she saw he was asleep she sat down in the living room with Will.
Will-Hi
JJ-Hi
She sat next to him biting her lip, Will took her hand and pulled her towards him, she laid her head onto his chest wrapping his arm around her.
JJ-I got more time off work Hotch said I can have as long as I want
Will-So you're staying home with me and Henry?
JJ-yep but I want to your my family and you come first not my job you.
Will kissed her and smiled
Will-I don't know what id do without you
JJ-you'd be an alcoholic
After they talked through everything JJ looked over at Will smiling
JJ-you fancy joining me in our room tonight?
Will-you know the answer to that.
JJ grabbed Will's wheel chair and helped him into it and wheeled him to their room, Once she helped him onto the bed ,she let him get changed and went to wash up, Once she was dressed for bed, she snuggled up next to Will.
JJ-I've missed this
Will-Me too
JJ and Will had just fallen asleep when they heard Henry walking up to the bed
Henry-Mummy
JJ opened her eyes to see Henry stood at her side of the bed, she turned on the lamp and looked down at her son
JJ-what are you doing out of bed?
Henry-I wanted to give you this
He put the drawing down on the bed and smiled running back out of the room and into his own bed.
JJ-night buddy
JJ picked up the drawing and it was her and Henry she smiled reading the note on it
I love you mummy you're the best mummy in the world
JJ put the drawing down and turned the lamp off going to sleep with a smile on her face. Knowing it would take time for things to be normal again but all they had to do was try.
