READ AND REVIEW! -"Jason Charles Bourne"

JJ's POV

I rolled over in bed as I heard my cell phone vibrating on the nightstand. I picked it up and without looking who was calling, flipped it open and put it up to my ear. "Jareau," I muttered, thinking it would be someone at work.

"JJ?" I heard Hotch ask. He sounded horrible. His voice was raspy, quiet. As if he'd been crying all night, which I was sure he had been. I would have too.

"Yeah?" I asked sitting up.

"I was talking to Jack last night and he was wondering if maybe you, Will and Henry wanted to come over sometime today. Jack is really lonely and I think having Henry over will be beneficial in this situation," he explained.

"If you two want to come over here we could have a barbeque. Will and I were planning on it anyway, and we would love to have you and Jack join us," I told him, I was worried. About both of them. Jack had just lost his mother, and Hotch had lose the love of his life. I couldn't imagine that.

"That would be perfect, JJ, thank you," he said. He sounded truly grateful. I'm sure he just needed distraction.

"Should I invite everyone else? We all have the weekend off..." I suggested.

"Sure. Jack loves all everyone on the team, I think it would be good to have them all there to keep his mind off... everything that's happened lately." he trailed off. It was obvious Jack wasn't the only one who needed help keeping his mind off Haley.

"Alright. I'll call everyone and get everything planned." I nodded, even though he couldn't exactly see me.

"JJ. Thank you so much,"

"No problem Hotch. Remember. This isn't going to hurt forever. We'll all help you." I told him. There was a pause.

"Yes... I know that JJ. It just seems like it'll never end though. I'll see you tonight. 5? Jack's waking up. I need to make sure he's okay, then we have some monster extermination to take care of,"

"Alright. See you tonight," I smiled and hung up the phone.

"Who was that?"

I jumped and turned around. "Will! I didn't mean to wake you, I'm sorry,"

"It's fine... who were you talking to on the phone?"

"Hotch. He wanted to know if we wanted to take Henry over there for a play date with Jack. I invited them to that barbecue we're having tonight. I hope that's alright..."

"That's fine JJ. The man needs some company. I feel horrible for him, I don't know how I'd live if I lost you or Henry," he shook his head. "Can't even imagine it,"

"Neither can I." I nodded in agreement. Then right on cue there was the sound of a baby crying from the nursery.

"It's like he knew we were awake," Will laughed.

"I know. It's eerie." I laughed also. "Do you want to feed him and whatever else he may need? I need to make some phone calls,"

"Alright." he nodded and walked to the nursery.

I sat back against the headboard and picked up my phone, Reid was first on speed dial, so I called him first.

"Hello?" I heard the young genius' voice say as he answered.

"Hey Reid," I smiled. "How are you?"

"I'm... I'm uh great JJ. Thanks. Do you need something?"

"Yeah, actually. Will and I are having a barbecue tonight, and I was wondering if you wanted to come,"

"Sure. I didn't have anything to do tonight anyway. I'm leaving tomorrow for Vegas to go visit my mom. I haven't seen her in a while, but I'd love to come tonight. What time?"

"5." I laughed, Spencer Reid. I knew of no male who could talk as fast as a woman and still make sense, other than Spence.

"Something funny?" he asked. I could just see him going back over our conversation in his head, trying to think if there was anything humorous said.

"No, just something popped into my head that was kind of funny. I'll see you tonight Spence!"

"Alright. Thanks JJ. Bye!" Two members of the team down, 4 to go.

Emily was next.

"Prentiss," Emily's familiar voice sounded as she answered the phone and greeted me.

"Hey Emily." I said happily. Emily was one of my best friends.

"Hey Jayje!" I heard Emily say excitedly. "What's up? Wait... don't tell me you're calling to ruin yet another weekend off... because if you are I swear..."

"No no no, don't worry. I was just calling to invite you to a barbecue Will and I are having tonight," I laughed. "I know better than to ruin your weekends Emily,"

"Right. What time?"

"5, Spence and Hotch are coming so far. And Hotch is bringing Jack with him,"

"Aww. Poor little guy. We'll have to do something super special for him. He needs something to comfort him,"

"You can be in charge of that one Emily." I told her. "Will and I are taking care of food. Reid is obviously going to be there to tell us odd barbeque statistics and Hotch is going to be distracted from his grief by the amazing party that we will have," I smiled.

"Alright JJ. See you tonight,"

"Thanks Em. See you tonight,"

Now only Rossi, Morgan and Garcia left. Rossi would be the hardest to convince. I'd save him for last. Garcia would be the easiest. What could I say? The woman loved herself a party.

She answered on the second ring. "You've reached Technical Miracle Penelope Garcia. Speak, oh peasant,"

"Hey Garcia." I laughed. Her greetings were so like her personality. Spontaneous and unique.

"Why hello there JJ. What can I do for you today?"

"Well, we're having a barbeque tonight..."

"Say no more. What time?" she interrupted.

"5," I laughed.

"I'll be there," she said. I could tell she was excited. "Should I bring anything?"

"Anything you want, as long as it's Jack and Henry friendly,"

"Got it. See you later then JJ,"

"Do you think you could call Morgan and get him to come? I have to call Rossi and convince him,"

"You got it, Morgan will be there if I have to put a ring in his nose and drag him,"

"Alright. See you both there," I hung up and quickly dialed the number for David Rossi.

It took almost until it went to the answering machine for him to answer,

"What is it JJ?" he asked. Clearly irritated. I wondered what he was up to.

"Hey Rossi. Will and I are having a barbeque tonight, and everyone else on the team is coming... you're the last one."

"Depends. What time is it?" he asked.

"5 o' clock." I recited.

"Hmm... I'll see you there then. Your place?"

"Yeah..." I responded. Shocked. Wow, that was easier than expected. I smiled. "See you there," I said and hung up, stood up and walked to Henry's room where Will was changing his diaper.

"The entire team is coming tonight," I told him.

He nodded. "Alright, we'll need to head to the store then,"

"Yeah. We will. But it's all for the best,"

I hoped we'd be able to help both of the Hotchner men to adjust. It would be tough, for sure, but I was sure we could handle it. I mean... we faced serial killers, rapists and all other imaginable criminals on a weekly basis. How hard could this be?

Chapter 3

Reid's POV

I pulled up to JJ's familiar house. I was the first one here, that I could tell. I walked up to the door and knocked. JJ answered almost immediately.

"Hey Spence!" she exclaimed smiling. The way she always responded when she saw me, with a huge smile.

"Hi JJ," I smiled back, waving. "I guess I'm kind of early... sorry..."

"Don't worry about it! I love having you here!" she smiled and hugged me. It was awkward.

"I love being here. It's... it's uh less stressful and disturbing than seeing you at work,"

"Work stresses the genius out?" she laughed. "That makes me feel better."

"In some ways I think your job is more stressful than mine. Facing the media, the family, the parents of all the victims. You have to say just the right things..." I laughed.

"Yeah. Well, it gets easier the more you do it," she nodded. "Come in, please," she smiled and moved aside so I could walk in.
