Jemily One Shots

Sick Day

Emily's POV

I woke up to the feelings of little hands on my face, I almost started swinging until I realized that it is just my beautiful boy Henry. I open my eyes to see him standing next to the bed looking uneasy, I note that Jennifer is still sleeping so I need to be quiet. The sun has not come up yet, I'm guessing it's around 3 A.M.

"Mama, I don't feel good" Henry complains as he's holding his stomach
"Ok, bubs, let's get you feeling better" I say as I get up so I can pick him up and carry him into the kitchen. I quickly put on pants, forgetting my shirt because Henry likes skin to skin contact better, I make sure Jennifer is still sleeping, good she is.
"Ok bub, come here"

I got him some medicine for his stomach, I think he got a bug from his Pre-K. I carry him over to the couch so we can cuddle.
"Mama can we watch Paw Patrol"
"Of course monkey"
I put on his show, making sure it was on a low enough volume so we wouldn't wake Jennifer, and we fell asleep cuddling.

I woke up about 45 minutes later to see Henry squirming uncomfortably, I've seen the signs too many times, he is going to throw up. I quickly jumped the couch to grab a trash can for him to throw up in. Thankfully I got to him in time and we emptied his stomach into the bin. I give him some more meds and we fall back asleep, this time the trashcan right next to the couch for safety measure.

JJ's POV

I turn over to feel the cold sheets. That's weird, I'm always up before Em. I get up to brush my teeth and go see where my babies are. Checking Henry's room to see if he was still asleep, nope, he must have woken up Em and made her play with him for a bit. I go into the living room to see the cutest thing ever, my babies cuddling on the couch asleep. Oh, not good, there's a trash bin. Someones sick and I bet it's Henry.

I snap a quick picture, sending it to Pen, she's gonna cherish that forever. I walk over to Em, waking her up when I gently stroke the hair out of her face.

"Good morning, love"
"It doesn't look like a very good morning, Em" She chuckles as she gently rubs Henry's back
"Yeah, he woke me up last night, he's got the bug" Emily explains as she continues soothing her son.
"I'll call in and tell them we can't make it today" JJ says as she goes to dial Hotch's number
"There's no need for both of us to stay babe, you go to work and the little man and I will hang out all day. Plus, he's probably already spread it to me and not you"
"Are you sure, it won't be too much?" JJ worries, Emily and Henry always seem to get into some trouble from JJ when left alone for too long.
"We will be little angels and I will nurse this king back to full health by the time you get home tonight"

JJ walks into work feeling uneasy and worried, she loves her babies but she hates to see them sick and not at their best. She sees Penelope approaching her
"Hi pumpkin, where is my badass bestie, she's not dead again is she?"
"Haha, no Pen, Henrys got the bug so she stayed home with him"
"OOO those 2 are sooooo getting into trouble while you're gone"
"I know, that's what I'm mostly worried about"

Emily's POV

Henry's been feeling better but still not 100%. I don't wanna give JJ any additional stress so i'm not attempting to cook or leave the apartment for the day. What could possibly go wrong now? Ok a lot can, but how much damage can a sick 4 year old really do?

*hours later*
Ok, I was wrong, we now have a huge fort in the living room and are making brownies. But Jennifer called me earlier to check in and said that she's gonna be working till late so I'll have time to clean up once Henry goes to bed, all before Jen gets home.

JJ's POV

I felt really bad having to work late but Hotch insisted we needed to get a certain amount of files done for the day, I swear sometimes he forgets he has a kid of his own. When I get home the apartment is spotless and quiet, never a good sign. I go to check on Henry in his room, but he's not there. I move onto our room and see Em and Henry cuddling in the bed together, both asleep. I stand there for a second and acknowledge my wonderful family and what it has become. After I shower and get ready for bed, I climb in the sheets. Immediately, Emily opens her eyes and smiles.
"Hi love, how was your day?"
"Hey Em, it was long, how are my babies?"
"Were in 1 piece and feeling much better"
"Good, now close your eyes and go back to sleep, you look beat"
"Haha, I think I did pretty good for a sick 4 year old all alone, goodnight babe"
"Goodnight love" I said as I fell asleep with a smile on my face

My family is perfect.
