Unbeta'd….


"You don't have to visit every 3 days, girls!" JJ said smirking and rolling her eyes while she let her 3 friends inside her apartment.

"What can we say, we miss you!" Lizzie said kissing JJ's cheek.

"And we miss James. He is the cutest baby I've ever seen, JJ!" Lane said smiling.

"Well, his father is really hot, so…" Sarah said laughing.

"Hey!"JJ said laughing too.

"Of course you are pretty too, JJ." Sarah added winking at her before kissing her cheek.

"You were right, though." JJ said grinning. "My hubby is really hot…" She added blushing lightly.

"Where is he, by the way?" Lizzie asked sitting down on the couch. "I thought he had a couple of weeks of paternity leave."

"He went to the lab but not to work. His boss gave him 3 weeks off so he's going to be home all the time for the next few days." JJ explained. "Lindsay called asking him to go to the lab because she had something for us."

"That's great that he's going to be here to help you."Lane commented.

"Yeah. The truth is that he's been awesome with me and James. We've been home for a just a week or so now but he wakes up with me every time the baby cries, helps me putting him to sleep, spoils me with food in bed and tries to change his diapers." JJ explained proudly.

"What do you mean with 'tries'?" Lane asked curious.

"Well, when James just pees on them it's fine but when there's something else in the diaper… that's another story." JJ said laughing. "He starts gagging and making faces and I have to end the job myself!" The four girls started laughing and James just stared at them like they were crazy.

"This little guy here is really amazing." Lizzie stated once they all calmed down. "He doesn't get scared of loud noises, never cries and can sleep for hours. You are really lucky."

"I know." JJ answered smiling and then sighed deeply.

"How are you holding up?" Sarah asked placing a hand on JJ's shoulder.

"What do you mean?" JJ asked trying to avoid the true meaning of the question. Sarah was her best friend. She could seem a total tomboy and sometimes really childish but she was one of the few female persons that was able to read JJ. Sarah just stared at her with an expression that said 'who are you trying to kid?'. "I'm fine. Really." JJ said squeezing Sarah's hand trying to reassure her. "I'm not going to say that is not tough or that I'm not tired, but it's worth it… It's been just 8 days since we are taking care of James all by ourselves with no nurses to help us, but I think we are doing a good job. And I love him so much. I really can't explain it but I just feel like I have to protect him and watch him all the time. He needs us for everything and that's really scary. I feel like if I don't keep an eye on him all the time something bad could happen to him."

"That must be really overwhelming." Lane said joining the conversation.

"That's the understatement of the year." JJ answered smiling lightly between tears.

"Hun," Sarah said passing one arm around JJ's shoulders. "You are certainly doing an amazing job with this little one. He's great! And you really need to believe that he's gonna be fine, even if you take a nap every once in a while or if you let your wonderful husband take turns with you in the feedings during the night." She made a short pause. " You need some rest. I know that it's easier to say than to do, but you should really try it. Don is there for you all the time and I bet it had been tough for him, too, to leave you here alone this afternoon. You make a great team and with James duties you must act as the leader, and sometimes being a leader means to delegate."

"I know, I know." JJ said whipping the few tears remaining in her face.

Just then the front door opened and Flack got in the apartment carrying lots of bags. When he saw JJ with puffy red eyes he let the bags on the floor and run to kneel in front of JJ.

"What's wrong, Jamie? Are you alright?" Flack asked cupping her face. "What happened? Is James ok?" He asked now looking at Sarah.

"Everything is fine, Blue." JJ answered placing her hand over his in her cheek.

"Time to leave!" Lane said standing up from the couch. Sarah and Lizzie followed her lead and after all saying their goodbyes they left the apartment.

"Why were you crying?" He asked sitting back on the couch next to Jamie after checking up on the sleeping James.

"Nothing. It was nothing." She said smiling at him.

"I'm not buying it." He said squeezing her hand.

"It was just… Overwhelming. We started talking about how it was to be a new mom and all… And I guess I'm just tired and a little bit peachy and well, tears started to come and I couldn't make them stop." JJ said starting to cry again.

"Jamie…" Flack said before pulling her until she was sitting on his lap. "It's ok." JJ hugged him tightly and after a few minutes she sighed deeply and moved until she could make eye contact with him.

"I'm just a little bit exhausted."She said smiling at him. "I think I need a full night's sleep, or at least more than three hours in a row."

"If you don't let me take some turns feeding James you can't do that." Flack said cautiously because that topic had caused a few light arguments during the last week.

"I know. That's why I'm going to use that pumping thing tonight before going to bed so you can give a bottle to James in the 2 am feeding and I can sleep until 5am." JJ said smiling as Flack's eyes widened.

"What made you change your mind?" Flack asked confused.

"The girls. Well, mostly Sarah." JJ answered grinning.

"So, every time I want you to make something I'll have to speak with Sarah so she can convince you?" Flack asked and JJ rolled her eyes. "I mean, I like her but I'd rather have you listening to me than not having to use someone as a middleman!" He said serious but teasing at the same time.

"I know and I promise not to let that happen again, Blue. It was when I started crying in front of the girls that I realized that I couldn't do it all." She explained caressing his face. "Teamwork. We'll take turns feeding him so we can both sleep more. And once you start working we'll figure something out but for now I think this would let us be a little bit more well rested." She ended. "What do you think?"

"I think that this sounds awesome." He said excited.

"Cool!" She said kissing him softly. "What are all those bags?"

"Baby shower presents!" He said grinning.

"What?" She asked confused.

"Lindsay asked everyone at work to bring the presents today so when I got there the break room was full of bags and packages! Since we postponed the baby shower , she thought that we would need all this stuff, so she organized everything so we got the presents today, but she made me promise that we'll throw a party soon anyways." Flack explained happily.

"OMG! I really need to call Lindsay and thank her for all that. What she did is great." She said trying to stand up but Flack pulled her back to sit on his lap.

"Wait." He said huskily. "We can check the presents later and Lindsay is working and you don't want to bother her."

"Ok, then. What do you have in mind?" She said giggling.

"Can I watch you while you use that pumping thing?" he asked kissing her neck.

She rolled her eyes and laughed lightly. "You are going to need a cold shower afterwards."

"I've been having cold showers 3 and 4 times a day since we got back home… another one won't do me any more harm." He replied before kissing her thoroughly.

"Ok, then." She said resting her forehead against his. "I might need some help." She replied standing up from the couch stretching her hand to help him leave the couch too as his smirk widened.
