Morgan woke up Saturday morning to his cell phone ringing. He groggily checked the caller ID. It was JJ.
"Hello?" he answered the phone.
"Hey Morgan. Can I ask you a huge favor?" she asked him. He heard Savannah stirring beside him and he quietly got up and went into the living room.
"Sure," he responded, "what's wrong?"
"Do you and Savannah mind taking Henry for the day?" JJ asked. "Will had to go back to work last week and I really need some sleep. Spence is at that convention thing with Rossi and Tara, Penelope is working for the other unit today, and Hotch is doing something with Jack today. So you're kind of my last hope."
Morgan hesitated for a moment, he and Savannah had plans today, but he could her the tiredness in his friend's voice.
"Yeah sure JJ. What time do you want me to be there to pick the little man up?" Morgan asked.
"Is nine o'clock okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, that's fine. I'll see you then?"
"Yes, thank you so much Morgan. I owe you for this one."
"Anytime, JJ." She hung up and Morgan looked at the clock. He had about an hour to get ready and get over to JJ's house to pick up Henry. He He walked back into his bedroom and put a hand on Savannah's shoulder to wake her up.
She mumbled incomprehensibly for a moment before her eyes slowly opened and she looked up at Derek. "Babe, why are you up so early on our day off?" she asked, glancing at the clock from where she lay.
"JJ called. She sounded incredibly sleep deprived and asked if we could babysit Henry for a day so her and the baby can get some sleep," Morgan said.
"Did you say yes?" Savannah asked.
"Yeah. I have to go get him in an hour. You okay with that?" Morgan asked.
"Yeah, of course. How old is Henry now?" Savannah asked.
"He's seven," Morgan replied.
"Ahh, so just old enough that we don't need our eyes on him every second, but old enought hat he's hyper and gets bored eaisly," Savannah stated.
Morgan nodded and sighed, "Yeah, basically."
"Have you ever babysat Henry before?" Savannah asked.
"No, actually. Reid and Penelope usually volunteer."
Savannah smiled, "Well then this should be fun."
The pair got up and got dressed and ready to leave to pick Henry up. One hour, breakfast, and a pot of coffee later, Derek and Savannah were at JJ's house. He knocked on the door and JJ opened it.
"Morgan, Savannah, thank you," JJ said, the new baby in her arms and Henry by her side. "Henry, you ready to go with Uncle Morgan?" JJ asked him.
"Yeah," Henry replied, still clutching his mother's hand.
"Do you have your backpack baby?" JJ asked him. Henry nodded.
"When do you want me to have him back by?" Morgan asked.
"Seven-ish?" JJ asked.
"Okay. Say goodbye to mommy," Morgan said to Henry.
"Bye Mommy," Henry said, giving JJ a hug.
"Bye baby, be good for Morgan okay?"
"I will," Henry said.
Morgan and Savannah left with Henry and ten minutes later after some discussion about what Henry wanted to do, they were at the park closest to Savannah and Morgan's house.
"You want to play with the football, Henry?" Derek asked Henry, pulling a football from the trunk of his car, as Savannah went to sit at a nearby bench.
"Yeah! I was practicing with my daddy yesterday!" Henry told Morgan, excitedly.
"Really?" Morgan asked, "I bet you're getting pretty good."
He threw he football at Henry who successfully caught it, and threw it back at Morgan. "Wow, little man. You've got quite an arm!"
"Thanks," Henry responded, and the two continued to throw the football around, even managing to get Savannah to play with them for a little while.
"Alright you two, I think it's time we go get some lunch," Savannah said after Henry had tackled Morgan for the ball again, effectively getting his pants extremely muddy.
"Aww, okay," Henry said, following Morgan and Savannah to the car.
"Please tell me JJ put a change of clothes in that bag she handed you?" Savannah asked Morgan.
"She did, I checked otherwise we wouldn't have gone to the park," Morgan said.
"Thank god," Savannah replied, opening the door of the car for Henry to get in.
"You buckled, little man?" Morgan asked, once they were all in the car.
"Yup," came Henry's small voice from the back of the car.
The rest of the day passed smoothly; Savannah made grilled cheese for lunch and the three of them played board games, until it was time to take Henry home.
When seven o'clock rolled around, Morgan knocked on JJ's front door. A minute later, JJ opened the door, the baby on her hip.
"Mama!" Henry said happily, hugging JJ.
"Hi sweetheart. Thank you guy so much for watching him today, I really appreciate it," JJ said gratefully to Morgan and Savannah.
"Anytime, JJ. You definitely look better," he said.
"Well that would be because I have more than an hour of sleep under my belt," JJ said.
Morgan laughed, and he and Savannah bade their farewells, "Bye Henry," Morgan said.
"Bye Uncle Morgan, Bye ," Henry said, hugging both of them before they left.
"Today was something, huh?" Morgan asked Savannah later that night.
"Yeah, he's a cute kid though, and you're really good with him," Savannah replied.
"As were you," Morgan pointed out.
"Well maybe one day we'll have our own?" Savannah said, though it sounded like a question.
Morgan smiled down at her, never having thought there would ever be a time that that question didn't scare him. Yet here he was. "Yeah, maybe," he answered.
