"Are you alright, JJ?" Adam asked as she got in the trace lab.

"Yeah, why?" JJ answered.

"You look like crap." He told her.

"Gee! Thanks, Adam, you really know how to make a girl feel special." She replied rolling her eyes while putting on the lab coat.

"I…I…"Adam started babbling. "You know that I didn't mean that."

"Sorry."She apologized. "I'm a little bit grumpy."

"I noticed that." Adam whispered. "What I meant before was that you look like you haven't slept in days. You know I think you are beautiful." He told her smiling worried.

"Thanks for caring, Adam." JJ said smiling back. "James is teething and suffering from separation anxiety."

"Woa! Is he ok?" Adam asked surprised.

"Yes. It's all normal in a 7 months old baby but is driving us crazy. I can't leave the room he's in or he starts crying. We have to cuddle and hug him for a long while before putting him to sleep because otherwise he shouts and whines and then more crying." JJ explained. "And to make things worse his gums are all red and they hurt so he can't sleep as well as before and wakes up several times during the night."

"Sounds tough." Adam cringed.

"It is. Blue and I take turns on waking up with him, but we can't sleep for more than 3 hours straight." JJ continued.

"I could take care of him one night so you can sleep, if you want to." Adam volunteered.

"Thanks, Adam, but I couldn't ask you that." JJ replied turning around to start processing.

"The thing is that you don't have to ask, I'm offering, JJ." He replied placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Thanks." She said hugging him. "I'll think about it." She told him as she pulled apart. He smiled at her and they got back to work. After a few hours of lifting fingerprints and analyzing soils and different materials from the victim's clothes in a comfortable silence, JJ sat down to wait on the results from GCMS. When a few minutes later Adam turned around to ask him if she had found something interesting he realized that she was deep sleep with her head resting on her hand as her elbow leaned against the table. He smiled and chuckled. He turned off the lights and closed the door to give her a much deserved quiet rest.

JJ opened her eyes and tried to adjust her vision to the low lighted room. She soon realized that she wasn't home when she discovered that she was on a green couch. She sat up really quickly and stared at her surroundings. She was in Mac's office. She was sleeping on his boss's couch during working hours. She stood up and straightened her clothes picked up the blanket she had been covered with and was putting it back in place when a voice interrupted her.

"Are you feeling any better?" Mac asked from the doorframe.

"Mac." She sighed. "I'm really, really sorry. It won't happen again, I promise. I'm going to stay for the next shift and work those eight hours for free." She rambled until Mac placed his hands on her shoulders. "It won't happen again, Mac."

"Are you feeling better?" He asked again, this time smiling lightly.

"Uhm… Well, actually, yes." She answered blushing.

"Good." Mac answered. "And I know it won't happen again, don't worry."

"Because I'm fired?" JJ asked in a low voice.

"What? No, of course not!" Mac replied almost laughing. "I understand what you are going through right now." He said and JJ stared at him confused. "Adam explained me everything. Maybe you should reconsider about working part time again."

"Part time? Could you arrange that? I should speak to Blue about it anyways before giving you an answer." JJ rambled again.

"Think about it, ok? Maybe just for a couple of months or until James turns one. Whatever you need." Mac suggested her.

"Thanks. I will." She said moving to leave the room.

"JJ?" Mac called her. "Go home." He told her, she tried to speak but he didn't let her. "The work you did in the lab with Adam before you fell asleep gave us a location of the crime scene and Danny and Hawkes are processing it right now. Go home, sleep, rest and I come back tomorrow ready to affront a 8 hours shift, ok?" He said.

"Thanks." She sighed knowing it was non-sense to argue with Mac. "Just one question, how did I get here? I think I must have fallen asleep in the trace lab?"

"You did, but Adam carried you here saying that my office was probably the quietest place." He explained smiling.

"I should thank him for that." JJ replied.

"You should. But he went with the guys to the scene so he's not around. Call him." He told her. "From home." He added determined.

"Yeah…" She smiled. "Thanks again, Mac. See you tomorrow." She finally left the office and after a short stop in the locker room to grab her purse she headed home. When she got there she was surprised of the silence in it. "Blue?" She asked getting in the living room.

"In here." She heard him whisper from the couch. "How was your day, sweetheart?" He welcomed her kissing her cheek.

"I fell asleep in the trace lab, Adam carried me to Mac's couch and I ended sleeping there for the rest of my shift, until I woke up and the boss suggested I should work part time." JJ explained letting herself fall on the couch tiredly.

"Wow." He said passing an arm around her shoulders cuddling her against his body.

"You could say that." JJ replied. "Is James asleep?"

"Yeah. He's been feeling better the whole afternoon. He barely cried and I guess that all those sleepless nights wore him out like it happened with his mother." He joked.

"Funny." She answered rolling her eyes. "What are we going to do?"

"I don't know, Jamie. He seemed better today, maybe it was just a phase and it's already over? On the other hand it would be great for you to spend more time with him, right? And about the less money income we don't have to worry, for now. It's your call, hun." Flack told her before kissing her head sweetly.

"I don't know either, Blue." She replied looking at him in the eye.

It was then when Flack noticed the bags under her eyes. "You know what? I think we should take this chance James is giving us and go to sleep. A few more hours of rest won't harm us." He told her as he stood up from the couch and pulled her with him.

"Nice idea." She told him smiling. "I'd love to cuddle with you. I missed you on Mac's couch."

"That would have been a nice image." He laughed. "You and I snuggling in the boss's sofa!"

"That would have gotten me fired for sure!" She replied laughing too.

"And probably me too!" He told her as she leaded her to the bedroom. "Let's sleep, ok? If James wakes up, it's my turn to go with him."

"I love you, Blue." She said standing on her tiptoes to kiss him.

"I love you too, Jamie." He answered closing the bedroom door after them.
