SONG PROMPT #66 - JJ/HOTCH

"How To Save A Life" - the Fray

It had been a week since she'd given him the ultimatum: come clean about their relationship or they were through. She didn't really want to issue it; she loved keeping it a secret from the rest of the team. It made her feel special in some ways.

But when she found herself having to say no to Henry spending time with his fairy godmother in case he spilled the beans on their relationship, she had to put her foot down, for her son's sake, if nothing else.

He hadn't gotten angry or upset when she told him. He hadn't looked happy, either. He simply told her that he understood and asked her for some time before kissing her on the forehead and walking away. She wasn't worried the first day when he said nothing to her; he was a thinker after all. The butterflies started to show up at the end of day two. By day four, she was barely eating and all thoughts were preoccupied by him. Now, a full week later, she was such a nervous wreck, she could feel the others' worried glances on her.

She cringed when she heard his voice standing above them, asking them to meet in the conference room. She briefly considered taking some sick time, but that would just cause more questions from the team. She rubbed her face and pinched her cheeks to put some color to her face. She wordlessly followed her teammates into the conference room, keeping her eyes on the table in front of her.

"Everyone, I have an announcement to make," Hotch said, drawing curious glances from everyone, but JJ and Morgan. "Effective tomorrow morning, I am officially and permanently stepping down as Unit Chief. Morgan has been promoted in my place. I know everyone will show him the same respect and loyalty that you've shown me all these years."

"Are you leaving?" Garcia asked, her voiced hushed. She glanced around the room, taking in the reactions from the others. Everyone but JJ were looking at each other. JJ's gaze remained on the table.

Hotch shook his head. "I will remain on the team as a profiler."

Reid scrunched up his face. "Then why?"

"Because I fully intend on asking JJ to be my wife," Hotch replied, in a steady voice. JJ's eyes flew to his. "And assuming she'll have me, it would be inappropriate to be her boss."

The others called her name, questioningly, but she heard none of it. She rose from the table to stand in front of him, placing her hand over his heart. "You did this for us?" He licked his lips before nodding. "And this is why you needed time?"

Again, he nodded. "JJ-"

JJ cut him off with a bruising kiss, smiling into his lips as the team gasped and giggled. "I love you. Whenever you ask, the answer is yes."

"For All These Times Kid, For All These Times" - Lostprophets

She was sitting wordlessly in the back of the plane, separate from everyone else as she had since they first boarded. It was a tough case, one of their worst, and JJ bore the brunt of it. The children seemed drawn to her as if they knew she was the other mother of the group. She had talked with them, cared for them, and grieved with them when their mothers turned up dead.

The team left her alone in her own thoughts, though they each cast an occasional glance of concern in her direction. The entire plane was more subdued than normal as if wanting to give JJ the space to gather herself together before returning home to her son. They were forty-five minutes away from landing when Hotch finally walked over to her.

He sat down beside her so that his shoulder was just out of touch of hers. Without speaking, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone. He scrolled through it before handing it to her. The team watched with breaths held for her reaction. She smiled and they grinned, their grins turning to shock when she turned and kissed Hotch's cheek.

"So, what did he show you?" Prentiss asked as they walked off the plane. She kept JJ back from the rest of the group.

JJ handed Prentiss the phone that she kept in her grasp. Prentiss looked at the screen to see a video queued. She hit play and smiled when a close-up of Henry's face appeared. He was pulled back by a tiny hand that was soon revealed to belong to Jack Hotchner. The two boys stood against the wall, wiggling, unable to stop moving

"Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!" the two boys shouted.

"We love you!" Henry yelled, jumping and falling on his knees with a giggle.

Jack blew her a kiss. "Come home soon, Mommy!"

He fell to the ground, putting his arm around Henry's shoulder. Jack whispered in Henry's ear before they both waved. "Bye!"

Prentiss handed the phone back to JJ. She opened and closed her mouth several times but couldn't quite figure out what to say. JJ bit her bottom lip before glancing at Hotch, who nodded encouragingly.

"It's my pick-me-up video when I'm sad," JJ explained, taking a deep breath when she realized she had the attention of the entire team. "I - we - have a confession to make. Hotch wanted to tell you, but I wasn't sure how." She held her hand out to Hotch. He quickly took it, pulling her to his side. "We're getting married in six months. I'm adopting Jack."

She closed her eyes when she felt Hotch kiss the top of her head. When she opened her eyes to look at the rest of their team, she expected to find hurt, anger, and mistrust, but instead found only love.

SONG PROMPT #68 – JJ/HENRY

It's All Around You - New Found Glory

He was the one true thing in her life; a shining beacon in a world often covered in darkness. She knew the minute she found out she was pregnant that her life was about to change in a major way, but she didn't know just how wonderful that change would be until she held him in her arms for the first time. She cheered when he said his first words, took his first steps, scored his first goal. She cried when he got his first shots, went to his first day of school, got his first heartache. Today, as he stepped onto that stage in a red gown and matching cap, shaking the hands of the school officials, and flashing his beautiful smile directly at her, her heart both cheered and cried over the love of her life.
