Jemily One Shots

Miscommunications

*Bit of a time jump*

The day started out as normal, both boys relaxing to start their Saturday, both internally grateful it was the weekend. There were unspoken routines and rituals that were conducted on the weekends. The boys knew what to expect and just how to avoid certain things.

"Cam, cmon we're gonna be late!"
JJ likes to keep to a schedule, as much as her job teaches her not to, what other time of day allows her to get groceries and grab a decent lunch while bonding with her kids?
"Yeah yeah im coming mom"

It's been about a year since the newest member of the Jareau-Prentiss family had joined them, and boy did time go by fast. Cameron was now an open, joyous, loving child. More importantly he was also a sassy little smartass, but considering his situation, both Emily and JJ were happy that their son was finally opening up to them. Sure, it only took him 7 months to finally start addressing them as mom and mama just as the blonde boy had been all his life. Although, some would say it started out quite unconventional...

*Flashback*
The boys had been put to bed just hours ago, giving JJ and Emily time to wind down and get their night settled. Emily walks over to the couch where a third of her heart lies,
"Hey, the dishes are put away and I have that weird robot thing that you insisted on us buying vacuuming up Henry's aftermath of ritz crackers" she chuckles. Henry was the messier of the boys, whether that be because Cameron was still held back in some ways as a foster kid, or because Henry truly was just a messy boy, they'll never know.
"Thanks love, I swear he gets more of those on the floor than in his mouth" Emily wraps herself around JJ as the movie starts. Lying like truly is one of the best times of Emily's night.
"Hey, do you think we're suffocating Cameron by having him and Henry share a room? I mean he's only just started getting close to us, and I know it was the boys idea to share but what if he-"
"Jen they will be fine, I can always move that heavy ass god forsaken dense ass wood bed frame back into his old room" The blonde's laugh fills the living room.

They don't settle into their movie long before Henry saunters out of his room.
"Mama I think somethings wrong with Cammy, I saw him shaking and I think he's crying"
That can't be good, both the agents shoot up from the couch to go check on their son. JJ tells Henry to wait in the living room as they go check on him. As they walk into the shared room the women are met with a withering, crying Cameron. They've never known him to be the nightmare type, they make eye contact having a silent conversation. Was he the nightmare type? Would they have been alerted if Henry had not gotten them?

"Cammy baby c'mon wake up, it's okay my love, It's me Emily, and JJ" He shoots up from his dream, dripping in sweat and the smell of urine fills their noses. He's now crying, trying to rush out an apology
"Im sorry mama- I mean, wait no, I didn't-"
"Shh shh shh baby it's okay, you can call us whatever you want" the blonde tries to console him. She makes it a point to not touch him, she knows from her own experiences that she's the type to hate touch when in a vulnerable state like this.
"But i'm not-" he's in a full blown meltdown at this point, he's just ruined the only good thing in his life, his new found family. They'll have to return him now and he'll go back to being Mackenzie, the girl who doesn't belong to anyone or anything and-
"No baby, you are our son okay, we love you. That gives you the right to call us whatever you want okay? Now lets get you cleaned up" It takes him a second to realize the position he's in, his pajamas are soaked with a mix of his urine and sweat and his two loving mothers are looking at him with only the most admiration and love. This must be what it feels like to be loved. Sure, the entire Jareau-Prentiss family and the BAU had made sure to shower him in love and words of affirmation but he's never truly seen it for what it is, until now.

He wipes away his tears and worries and finally says "Okay mama."

*End of Flashback*
It's only 11 in the morning when the blonde rushes her boys to the car. JJ and Emily have their Saturdays down to a science. JJ takes the boys to the grocery store where they sneak every junk food item imaginable in the cart and JJ pretends to only see some of it and make them put it back. She likes to take her time here, before Henry, and certainly before Cameron, this was her weekly getaway from anyone and everyone. She was mindlessly strolling down each and every aisle (Even the dog food is because why not) taking in the rare alone time. Now though, she takes this time to talk with her boys about their upcoming week and what to expect from each of them.
