SONG PROMPT #107 – JJ/HENRY
"I Shall Be There" – B*Witched
"I don't want to go," Henry said, stubbornly, his tiny arms folded across his chest.
JJ smiled patiently at him. "Why not?"
Henry shrugged. "Faith will miss me."
"Yes, she will," JJ agreed, "but you can call her every day and your dad has a new computer so you guys can Skype, too."
"Jack needs help getting to the next level of 'Tony Hawk'," he countered.
JJ zipped up Henry's suitcase. "Jack promised not to play the game until you get back."
Henry frowned. "Hotch needs me to take out the trash and recyclables."
"Hotch said he would do it and even put a star on your chart."
"You need me to help pick out your clothes for work," he tried next.
JJ sat down on the bed. That had been a game they played when Henry was little. "We haven't done that since you were five. Are you ready to tell me what's really wrong?"
The ten-year-old crawled onto her lap like he had when he was three. "What if I go and visit Dad and everyone here forgets all about me?"
"That will never happen, not in a million years. You are the glue that holds us all together. Do you know that Jack has a countdown in his room to when you're coming back? And that Faith has already sent pictures she's drawn down to your dad's?" She hugged him tight. "I'm going to tell you a little secret."
"What secret?"
JJ rested her chin on his shoulder, keeping her lips near his ear. "Hotch cried a little last night when he realized that you would be leaving today."
Henry whipped his head towards her. "Really?"
"Really. So, you see, no one's going to forget about you for one second." She kissed his forehead. "I'll tell you something else. I talked to your dad this morning. He and Leslie can't wait for you to get down there and meet your new brother. They have a ton of fun activities planned for you to do."
"They do?"
JJ nodded. "So, what do you say we head to the airport?"
"Okay." Henry hopped down from JJ's lap. He turned and hugged her. "I love you, Mom."
"I love you, too."
SONG PROMPT #108 – JJ/HOTCH
"Say You'll Be Mine" – Steps
"I love you!"
JJ stopped her trek out of the BAU doors. She spun on her heels. "What did you say?"
Hotch took a deep breath, moving a few steps forward. "I said, I love you. I love you and I'm in love with you. I don't care who knows it."
"You're in love with me?" she repeated.
"Yes."
"And you're shouting this in the middle of work?"
Hotch glanced around the room, all eyes on him. Rossi smirked, Garcia had tears in her eyes, and Morgan's jaw was dropped. Only Reid seemed unsurprised. "Yes."
JJ shrugged. "Why?"
"Because I can't take another week like this past week. Because I've missed you morning since the weekend we spent together at the bed and breakfast. Because I want to become a family with you and the boys." Hotch moved towards the steps. "But, mostly, because I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Well, it's a good thing that I love you, too," JJ wiped away the tears from cheeks, "because I have no intention of raising this baby without you."
Hotch paled. "Baby?"
She nodded. "Surprise."
"I-" Hotch charged down the stairs and over to her. He lifted her into his arms and spun her around.
"Hotch, put me down! I'm going to throw up!" JJ demanded.
He put her back on the ground, steadying her with his hands on her waist. He kissed her, lightly. "I love you."
JJ sighed, contently. "I love you, too."
SONG PROMPT #109 – HOTCH/WILL
"That's What She Said Last Night" - The Saw Doctors
"Is she here?" Will demanded when Hotch opened the door to his house to find the angry Southerner standing on his doorstep.
"Will," Hotch sighed.
Will flared his nostrils. "I want to see my wife."
Aggravated, Hotch stepped onto the porch, forcing Will to back up. Hotch folded his arms and glared at the younger man. "JJ doesn't want to see you, Will, not now."
"Did you finally get to her, Hotchner?" Will sneered at Hotch's confused look. "Please. I've seen the way you've looked at her the past few months. You may have convinced yourself that you're not in love with her, but I know the truth."
"My feelings have nothing to do with this," Hotch countered, his smooth tone hiding his rising ire. "JJ doesn't want to see. She's hurt and angry. She will call you in a few days."
Will threw his hands in the air. "What does she have to be angry about? She took my son and left! She didn't even leave a note! If anyone gets to be angry, it's me!"
"You really don't get it, do you?" Hotch asked, pity creeping into his voice.
"Please enlighten me, oh wise one," Will scoffed.
Hotch leaned down close to Will's face. "She heard every word last night. She knows that you propositioned our section chief in order to get Erin to fire her."
Will's eyes grew wide. "I- I-"
"Get off of my porch. I will tell JJ that you stopped." Hotch took a step forward, puffing out his chest when it look as if Will would protest again. Hotch kept his eyes on the man's car until he could no longer see it.
"Everything okay?" JJ asked, timidly, walking onto the porch.
Hotch turned, taking in her swollen lips and red eyes. He reached out and pulled her to him, tucking her under his chin. "You will be. I promise."
