Will drove Henry down to the hospital even though it was 11 at night by the time JJ was allowed out of the accident and emergency ward. It wasn't anything too serious, just a shot to top right shoulder; it just made her wince every time she moved her arm.

Will wasn't panicking or immensely worried, since he knew his wife was one hell of a badass and she would be okay. Henry, on the other hand had demanded and even threatened to make a ruckus if he wasn't brought to his mother, so Will conceded. Anyhow, it was only an hour and a half's drive up state and it was a Friday night. He suspected that Henry just wanted to see the BAU, since he idolized them, secretly.

Reid, on the other hand, was crouched in a corner, avoiding everyone's eyes, even after the doctor said JJ was okay. He still shouldered most of the blame, since the unsub had aimed with the intention to wound, not kill.

"Hey!" Henry said, crashing into the team. The unit adored Henry, so Will left his over-energized son to mingle with the adults while he went to sit next to Reid.

"What's up with you? You're usually all over Henry."

"I am sorry, Will. It's my fault. I should have shot the unsub."

"Reid, there's always a chance of something wrong happening. I mean, you play with actual guns long enough, someone's going to get hurt."

"Yes, but the chances of her getting injured is 1.1 percent – 1.12 now – and… don't you wonder why it couldn't have been someone else?"

Will sighed. He may not be a Special Agent like them, but he was a detective all the same, and he had his fair share of psychopaths in New Orleans. Too many times he had seen his father wash down scotch like it was water because his partner just died on the operating table.

"Kid, there's always going to be that one percent – okay, 1.12 percent – chance when you're in this kind of job. My gut tells me this is less about JJ and more about your fear that you're a lousy agent. You're not that hard to read, kid – especially after how things have played out recently."

Will and Reid weren't exactly the best of pals, but they were on friendly terms, and this was the first time they exchanged that many words at one go. That wasn't the point though, Reid thought, the point was that Will hit the nail on the head. Even Reid himself couldn't grasp the feeling, but the way that Will phrased it made it evident.

"Hey y'all," JJ said as the doctor pushed her out in a wheelchair.

"MOMMY!" Henry yelled, colliding headfirst into JJ.

JJ was obviously surprised and even annoyed to see her 4 year old here since he should be sound asleep at home, but that meant that Will was here too, and she really wanted to see him.

"Hey you," Will said, smirking ever so slightly.

JJ lit up when she saw Will, and she broke into a wide grin. Even though the only words that were exchanged were 'Hey you', everyone in the BAU could see that JJ and Will were, as mushy as it sounds, made for each other.

"Why," Will said sarcastically, motioning to the wheelchair, "do you need this? Did you get shot in your leg?"

JJ laughed, got up on her feet and gave Will a shove, but he merely wrapped his arms around her and even though he told himself he wasn't worried, there was still a part of him that was afraid of losing her every day.

"Thank god you're okay," he whispers, because Will didn't want the BAU to think he was a pussy/touchy-feely/emotional guy.

After the necessary fussing around and what not, Will offered to give Reid a ride home, since Hotch's car didn't have any more space and the private jet was (for once) under maintenance.

Henry fell asleep the minute Will started the engine, which made the atmosphere in the car even more awkward.

"I'm sorry."

JJ turns back and smiles at Reid.

"It's okay, Spence."

Will knew that JJ was lying. She had been lying so that she didn't need to have this big blow up with Reid that would drive both of them crazy and probably sent Reid into depression again.

The last time they had a really bad quarrel was when JJ lied about Emily's death. It took them ages to make up and even longer before they got back to normal, chummy terms and then Emily left and Doctor Alex Blake came.

"It's not about you getting injured. It's about-"

JJ cut Reid off before he could say anything else.

"Yeah. We're good, Spence."

Will knew that JJ's inside was hurting more than her outside – but what killed him was the fact that he could do nothing to make her feel better.

HELLO please let me know your thoughts and also the next update might take a few days im kinda stuck with the storyline.
