JJ and Henry in the bedroom
"You are already a great big brother. I love you" JJ told Henry
"Mommy, Mia is okay but I really wanted a dog. I love you too" Henry told JJ, making her laugh.
JJ looked up when she heard Mia; Will was standing in the doorway.
"She's probably hungry" JJ
"Do you want me to get a bottle?" Will asked
"No, I'll try again but later I think we should try a bottle" JJ
Will walked to the bed handing Mia to JJ. JJ covered herself and Mia with the blanket because Henry was in the bed. Will sat down next to her absent mindedly rubbing her back
"Thank you. I really I am sorry" JJ looking at Will.
"You don't have to apologize for anything." Will, he noticed she was a little more relaxed as he rubbed her back.
"You may have to stay home and just rub my back all the time." She told him
"Anything for you, she seems to be eating a little more" Will
"Because her daddy is sitting here, I noticed her hair is getting curly in the back. I really think she's going to look like you." JJ
"As long as she keeps your eyes I'm good. Henry's asleep" Will
"He is definitely your son listening to him talk to her was so sweet" JJ as she moved the blanket to check on Mia
"You realize this is the most we've been able to talk in the last two weeks" Will as he watched JJ nurse Mia
"Yes and I know that smirk on your face you have four more weeks" JJ shaking her head
"I am not thinking about that or I wasn't. I watched you nurse Henry and it still amazes me and if I remember right someone told me I was never allowed to touch them again" Will laughing a little
"I think I told you that when I had the boy too and that didn't last long" JJ realizing Mia was done she handed her to Will as she buttoned up her shirt
"Only because my wife is worse than I am" Will as he was burping the baby
"And my husband complains" JJ smiling at him
"Nope, if there weren't two kids in the bed with us and you weren't tired I would try to convince you now." Will putting Mia in the bassinet.
Will climbed back in the bed pulling JJ to his chest. "Cher, let's both get some sleep before your mom gets here"
"Okay, but your still in trouble for calling her" JJ closing her eyes

Two hours later
JJ woke realizing that she was the only person in the room. She hadn't heard Mia cry nor did she feel Will or Henry move out of the bed. She needed the sleep but started feeling guilty for not getting up with the baby; tears started forming in her eyes.
"Cher, you're awake" Will walking in the room. He stopped as soon as he seen she was crying.
"Yeah a couple minutes ago" JJ trying to wipe her eyes
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Will asked
"I didn't hear Mia get up. I should have gotten up with her." JJ
"Jen, she's fine. Right now Henry and Mia are down stairs with your mom and Rossi. You needed some sleep" Will sitting down next to her
"My mom and Rossi are here. Why didn't you wake me up?" JJ
"They have been here less than ten minutes and that's why I came up." Will
"My mom must think all I am doing is sleeping while you are taking care of both kids" JJ
"Nobody thinks that. Everyone knows you're a great mother" Will confused by the mood swing
"Right and you called her because I am such a great mother" JJ
"I am not going to argue with you about this. I called her because I am worried about you not getting enough sleep or eating enough and since you're being stubborn and won't ask for any help with the baby I didn't know what else to do." Will getting up
"You should have talked to me first." JJ, not sure why she was mad at him.
"Come down when you feel like it." Will as he walked out of the room.
JJ sat there staring at the door way trying to pull herself together before she went down stairs.

Down stairs
"Is she awake?" Sandy asked
"Yeah, she should be down in a little bit." Will
"I was just telling Dave maybe the boys could go get food." Sandy
"I could make something." Will, still thinking about his conversion with JJ.
"Daddy, we want pizza." Henry told him pointing at Mia.
"Buddy, she can't eat pizza yet." Will laughing
"Henry wants pizza then it's pizza we get." Rossi smiling at down at Henry
JJ was standing on the bottom step trying to avoid looking at Will.
"Please can we go now?" Henry asked Will
"You need to get your shoes on" JJ told him, making Will turn to look at her.
"Pizza sound good Jen. We could get something else too." Rossi told her.
"Pizza's fine. Thank you for the offer." JJ
Sandy noticed that JJ wasn't looking at Will nor had she acknowledge that he was even in the room. She also realized she hadn't spoken to her yet.
"Did you get enough sleep?" Sandy asked her
"Yeah, I am fine." JJ answered looking around for Mia
"I just put her in the bassinet down here" Will told her
"Grandpa Dave can we go now" Henry
"Yes we can" He watched as Henry ran to the front door "Come on Will, before Henry watches his mom kill his dad."
Will just shook his head as they went to the door. Sandy waited for the door to close before saying anything.
"Ok talk." She told JJ
"There's nothing to talk about. He should not have called you to come early, I am fine" JJ answered as she walked into the kitchen.
"Jennifer Marie, you are mad at Will because he called me and me because I came. He's worried about you." Sandy
"No, he thinks I can't take of my children and wants you here to make sure that the kids are ok." JJ replied
"Did he say that to you?" Sandy asked
"He didn't have to" JJ, fighting back the tears
"Come sit and talk to me please." Sandy
"Fine." JJ walking back into the living room
/
In the Living room
"I need you to listen to me before saying anything and for the record I am not arguing with you because we both know that I will win." Sandy
"Okay." JJ sighing
"Right now you feel like no matter what you do you can't do it right. As much as you love Mia every time she cries you want to hide in a corner and no matter how much Will or anyone else wants to help with her you feel like if you let them then something is wrong with you. Am I close?" Sandy told her.
"Maybe" JJ, crying.
"And your hormones are all over the place. You're mad and don't even really know why." Sandy wrapping her arms around JJ.
"Mom, how do you know this? I feel like I am going crazy." JJ
"It's something about the Jareau women. I felt that way after I had Lauren, Niki and you; although you were the worst because I had five other kids running around the house." Sandy started to tell her "Your daddy was pretty sure that I had gone crazy, he tried to help with your brothers and sisters but it was never right or my way. One day when you were just a little older than Mia he convinced me to go for a walk, he wouldn't let me take any of you with me, when I came back he had all of you packed up and took all of you camping for the weekend."
"I would probably flip out if Will took the kids anywhere right now. How do I stop feeling like this?" JJ
"Oh, I flipped out but he did the right thing just like Will did by calling me. I needed sleep and to eat right but more importantly I realized that I needed help taking care of all of you. Trying to be super mom was only making it worse. The feelings don't go away overnight Jen but I promise you they do go away." Sandy
"Mom, he's going to hate me if I kept blaming him for everything. I am afraid he's going to leave and not come back. Henry can see the tension between us and it's not fair to him. I stay tense which I think is why Mia isn't nursing the way she should be and maybe it's the reasons she's so fussy. You had six kids, I only have two. I shouldn't need help but I keep blaming myself for needing it." JJ sobbing now
"Baby, both of your sisters not just after you and your daddy had to remind me after each of you that I was going to be okay." Sandy
"Is Will going to hate me?" JJ asked
"No baby, he loves you but he's worried." Sandy answered hearing Mia starting to whine
"She's hungry and probably needs changed." JJ still crying
"Will gave her a bottle earlier." Sandy
JJ walked over and picked up Mia
"Mom stay here, don't go back." JJ walking back to the couch
"Jen, I can stay until you don't need me." Sandy watching JJ change Mia
"You promise" JJ asked as she was trying to decide if she wanted to nurse or try the bottle.
"Yes, I promise. Take a couple of breathes and relax it will help her nurse." Sandy
JJ listened to her mom taking three deep breathes trying to push everything out of her mind. She watched as Mia latched on to her.
"I am going to need you until she turns eighteen." JJ told her
"You'll be ready for me to leave in a couple of days." Sandy smiling at her
"Nope and I know three guys who left here won't be either." JJ
They both heard the car pull back up. JJ looked down at Mia who was nursing better than before.
"I am going to take this upstairs." JJ told her before the guys came back in.
"You better come back down or we'll all come up there" Sandy warned her
"Yes Mom." JJ responded
/
In the nursery
"I hope your nana's right because right now mommy feels like she's going crazy." JJ told Mia while she was nursing "You don't know this yet but we are both lucky to have your daddy, he loves both of us. Mia the real secret is that I love all of you so much it hurts. I promise you that I will figure all these feelings out."
"You know how much I love listening to you talk to her" Will making JJ look up
"She's a great listener." JJ told him
"Probably shouldn't teach her to talk then" Will
"Can you burp her please?" JJ asked
"Of course" as he walked over picking up Mia
"She nursed longer than she has since we brought her home" JJ
"Good thing because she didn't like the bottle" Will smiling as he heard Mia burp
"Will I love you and I know that I have been crazy. Please be patient, I don't know what I would do if you left" JJ
"I am not going anywhere without you and the kids. Jennifer, I love you. To be completely honest I talked to your mom she did her best to explain everything to me. I just want to help you." Will
"Well right now I am hungry" JJ
"Come on before the boy eats all the pizza." Will smiling at her
"Do you want to lay her down?" JJ asked
"Nope, I want both of my girls with me" Will
/
JJ and Will walked back down stairs. JJ noticed Henry whispering to Dave.
"Jen, you want cheese or peperoni" Sandy
"Cheese" JJ
"Will what about you" Sandy
"I'll help you" Will giving Mia to JJ
"Mia wants cheese" Henry
JJ walked over laying Mia in the bassinet
"She can't eat pizza but if you would like two pieces of cheese you can." JJ told him
"Go tell Nana want mommy said" Rossi told him
"Feeling better kiddo" Rossi looking at JJ
"A little, I'm trying to get her to stay" JJ smiling at Rossi
"She said that. I hope you can get her to" Ross smiling
"You two need to stop whispering" Sandy as she walked in the living room
"I didn't realize that we were" Rossi
"Sure you didn't" Sandy handing JJ her pizza
"Thanks mom" JJ
Henry and Will came walking back in the room.
"So Henry just told me that he was going with Grandpa Dave" Will
"And where would that be to" JJ looking at her mom
"News to me" Sandy looking at JJ
"With you nana" Henry told her
"I thought we could take Henry back to the house with us and then tomorrow everyone can come over and grill out." Rossi told the group
"Are you sure?" JJ asked
"If I thought I could get away with bella over there I would take her too." Dave smiling
"Good luck feeding her" Will laughing
"It'll be okay" Sandy patting JJ on the leg
"Okay I'll pack him some clothes" JJ
"And my swim trunks" Henry told JJ
"And your trunks" JJ laughing
Please review I think it's going to a 3 shot
