"Mia meet your Aunt Lauren." JJ picking her up
"She looks like Will. Feed her then I will take her." Lauren smiling
"Yeah I even think her hair is getting curly." JJ
"How are you doing?" Lauren
"I have good and bad days, today is getting better." JJ admitted
"It will, I started feeling better after a month but the feeling would still creep up on me for about six months." Lauren
"I thought I was losing my mind. Mom helped me understand more." JJ
"Me too, and I like Dave." Lauren
"I told you. Where's Macy?" JJ asked
"Your niece is looking at Georgetown and then will be here." Lauren
"Really, she's thinking of Georgetown." JJ smiling
"Yes, someone let her visit them there and now she wants to follow in that someone's footsteps. She's even talking about Journalism." Lauren
There was a knock on the door
"Jen" Will
"Come in." JJ
"Jr is here with Kristen and the kids." Will rolling his eyes
"I made Shane promise to be nice. Do I need to make you too?" Lauren laughing
"Jen already did." Will
"I think she's almost done. Lauren you should go." JJ
"Okay, but I get her first." Lauren
"I understand." JJ
"She still eating good." Will asked
"Yes and I hope she's ready for all this craziness." JJ
"I have your back always. Maybe calling Emily and Hotch wouldn't be such a bad idea." Will
"I'll suggest it later. Can you burp her?" JJ
"Of course, come here Mon Chou." Will taking Mia
/
"Hey Jr, Kristen. Sorry Mia was hungry." JJ smiling
"It's okay, the baby comes first." Kristen
"Will, it's good to see you." Jr
"You too" Will as Lauren took Mia
JJ watched as Henry stood by Will waiting for the adults to stop talking before he spoke.
"What's up buddy?" Will asked
"Can we swim and call Jack?" Henry asked Will
"I think we are going to be eating soon after that you can swim." Will told him
"And Jack?" Henry
"Buddy, I'll call later to see. Why don't you show all your cousins the playroom?" JJ told him
"Okay." Henry
"There's a playroom." Sarah, looking around
"Yes, Dave changed one of the bedrooms into a playroom for when Henry and Jack are here." Sandy answered
"It usually only gets used when the weather is bad." Rossi walking back into the room.
"Jen, are you going back to work?" Jr asked
"Yes, I took extra time off so in about two months." JJ
"Why did you take extra time?" Lauren, letting Shane hold Mia
"Mia had colic I wanted to make sure it was gone before I went back." JJ
"You don't want to stay home." Sarah asked
Sandy looked at JJ, knowing where this was going.
"No, Will and I agreed that me going back to work was a good thing." JJ told her simply
"Being a stay at home mom isn't a bad thing." Jr told her
"You're right it's not, but it's not want is best for my family." JJ looking at him
Dave was starting to understand why both Sandy and JJ was nervous about them all being in the same room.
"Where's Macy?" Lydia finally asked
"She's looking at the dorms at Georgetown and then she will be here." Shane
"Georgetown wonder where she got that idea from." Kris smiling at JJ
"It gets better she's even talking about majoring in Journalism" Lauren
"As long as she stays away from the BAU, she'll be fine." JJ, glancing at Rossi
"So it's good enough for you but not for Macy." Jr
"You know that's not what I meant." JJ
"No, explain." Jr
JJ had enough and both Sandy and Will knew it. Lauren, Kris, and Isaiah tried to stop it from going any further but they couldn't. Dave wasn't sure if he should step in or not.
"Stop being an ass, you're not dad, so stop acting like you are. Do I want Macy to see half the stuff I've seen? No, you're a cop do you want your kids or any of your nieces or nephews to see the victims you've seen." JJ spat out
"I'll ignore most of what you just said. If you don't want to see any of it then stay at home and be with your family" Jr
"So you're going to ignore the part that's true and only pick the parts that you what to turn around." JJ
"I have never once said I was dad and I didn't turn anything around. What do you even remember about dad?" Jr
"That's enough." Sandy almost yelling
Dave watched as all five of her kids jumped a little, also making Mia cry.
"Dave, Will, Shane can you three take Mia and start the food. Lydia, Sarah, Kristen will you go check on the kids." Sandy trying to stay calm
"The playroom is down that hall, last door." JJ pointing
/
Sandy watched as the six people she didn't raise walked out of the room.
"The five of you will listen to me and listen to me carefully." She started
They all shook their heads before she said anything else
"Owen you owe your sister an apology, the decisions that she and Will make for their family are none of your business. Jennifer, you shouldn't have called him an ass and neither of you should have brought your dad into." Sandy
"She's still acting like a spoiled brat." Jr mumbled
"I said enough. The five of you are adults with your own families; I can't make you get along. But when you all are in the same house I am in you will show me respect by respecting each other. And I don't care if it's this house or my house, I asked Dave to have all of you here because I wanted him to meet all my children, he's an important part of my life and I was hoping that he could be in yours." Sandy
"Mom, I am sorry and I'll apologize to Dave." JJ
"Seems he already is to Jennifer" Jr, implying more
"What the hell does that mean?" JJ
"It means I can't tell if you think of him as a father or something else." Jr
Sandy was taken aback by her sons comment
"You really think I would" JJ started
"Sleep with him. Yeah, you sure Mia is Wills." Jr smirking
"Go straight to hell. I haven't talked to you since I told you I was pregnant and now you think you know more about my life than anyone. The only part of your comment that was right was that I do look at Dave like a father." JJ trying hard not to cry
Lauren and Sandy saw Will walk into the kitchen without Mia but neither of them saw Rossi
"Then why are you so defensive? If you're doing nothing wrong why worry about what any of us think so my professional opinion would be that you're hiding something. So are you really sure." Jr
"First I know who the father of both of my children is, you can question it all day the answer will be the same. Second, I became defensive when you made me sound like a slut. Third, usually when someone is accusing someone else of something it's because they are either doing it themselves or have had it done to them." JJ, she didn't know how right she was
"Did he really just call you a slut?" Will making her turn around
JJ stood up and in front of Will before he could move, knowing he couldn't hit her brother with her standing in front of him.
Sandy walked out of the room
"Owen, just because Kristen lied to you doesn't mean that you can take it out on Jen or mom. Mom's right you need to apologize to Jen and Will at this point for your comments and Dave for being an ass after he invited all of us here." Isaiah finally spoke
"He doesn't need to apologize to me for anything. We are taking our kids home, after I go and check on Mom." JJ announced looking at Will
"What is he talking about? Jen don't leave it will only make things worse" Lauren
"Nothing and I told you not to say anything Isaiah." Jr
"Mom's mad, Will could kill you right now and I wouldn't stop him, and Jen's hurt and was right. Did you really think I wasn't going to say something?" Isaiah
"I was right about what?" JJ leaning up against Will so he couldn't go anywhere.
"Tell them" Isaiah
"Savannah and Corey aren't mine." Jr looking at Jen "I found out about Corey last year when he was sick but I didn't know about Savannah until on our way here. Jen, I should've never said those things to you. I'm sorry to both you and Will."
"What? Does mom know?" Lauren standing up
"She knows about Corey. I asked her not to say anything." Jr
"Did she know before she had them?" Kris
"Yes" Jr
"Just because they are not yours biologically doesn't mean you're not their dad." JJ finally spoke, looking over at Lauren
"I love both of them that's not changing. I just can't wrap my mind around all of it. Jen, I really am sorry." Jr
"I know that you are but right now I am mad at you. Someone has to go talk to mom." JJ pushing back the urge to punch him
"You two were fighting, it should be one of you." Kris
"Chicken" Lauren
"We vote on it." Isaiah told them
Rossi had sat back and watched everything happen without saying anything; she had raised her kid's right. No matter what they had been fighting over they all gathered around their brother and now was worrying about their mother.
"I'll go. We all know that's how the vote is going to go." JJ told them
She turned and looked at Will "Please go check on Mia and Henry."
/
"Mom" JJ knocking on the door
"Come in." Sandy
"I am sorry that did go the way it should have." JJ started
"Jen, you shouldn't be in here apologizing." Sandy
"We all took a vote and I won. Jr told both me and Will he was sorry, I am still mad and Will may hit him, but I understand now." JJ
"He told you about Corey." Sandy asked
"Yes so I guess he needed to take it out on someone." JJ
"You are not the person he should have taken it out." Sandy
"He really needs to talk to you about other things. Lauren and I want to take her out. I would love to tell Sarah about her best friend. " JJ
"Yes, but my baby girl is more reasonable than that and wouldn't purposely hurt her brothers or nieces and nephews." Sandy
"I know" JJ
"I hate to know what Dave thinks." Sandy
"Mom, he has seen worse." JJ
"Come on; let's pass out some of those fake smiles of yours." Sandy
