The Babysitter (J.J)

*JJ's POV*

After I had Henry, I needed a babysitter who could handle some crazy hours. Will and I interviewed many people but we agreed upon Y/N Y/L/N. She was young enough to be alert and chase after a baby but also old enough to be mature and responsible. She seemed really smart and had a great personality. We relied on her a lot with Henry and eventually Michael.

I needed her a whole bunch more when Will and I got a divorce a couple months ago. In these months, I really realized how important she's been to me and my family.

In fact.. I love her... and sure— I've had crushes on actresses and at one point I had a little something for Emily— but it's nothing like how I feel about Y/N. Sometimes I consider calling her and tricking into staying when I'm home..

Of course I would never even attempt to start a new relationship without at least trying to figure something about for my kids.

"Hey Henry, sweetie, come here.." my son stopped playing with his action figures to come up to me. (Let's say they're abt 8 & 2) "What do you kiddos think about Y/N?" "Y/N's the best! She always plays games with me and she helps me with my homework and we watch Marvel movies all the time! I love Y/N!" "Luv!" "A- and if mommy liked her.. if... she had a crush.." "You like Y/N? But what about dad? He's a boy and Y/N's a girl..." "Mommy doesn't just like boys... there's some girls who I like.. W- would you be upset if I started dating somebody who isn't your dad?" "If it's Y/N then you could marry her!" "You really seem to have your mind all made up!" Henry went back to playing and Michael ate apple sauce while I went into a more private area.

*Your POV*

I walked down the aisles of the grocery store trying to find my dinner ingredients, "Tomato sauce.. ground beef.. I neeed.. peppers!" I spoked to myself. My phone buzzed in my back pocket. Jennifer?

"Hello?" "Hi.. Y/N.. can you come over right now?" she asked me, "Uh sure.. is there a case?" "N- no.. I— I just need to talk to you.." "Oh gosh! Are— are you firing me?" "No! Of course not! Nothing like that" "Thank goodness... I'll be there in uhh.. 15 minutes..?" "Great"

I got the rest of my ingredients and did self checkout.

I rang the doorbell, and moments later, it opened. "Y/N!" "Hen! Mikey!" Michael grabbed onto my leg and Henry jumped into my arms, "Woah— boys— let Y/N inside first" "It's alright! I love these kiddos!" And you... I waddled in to keep my balance with Michael still clinging to one leg. "So, what was it you wanted to talk about?" "Oh uhm.. one second.. Henry? Can you and your brother go to your rooms please? Mommy and Y/N need some privacy..." "Okay! Come on Michael!" He grabbed his brother's hand as I put him on the floor.

"Would you like to sit, Y/N?" "It's your house.. your choice.." "Oh uhm I was gonna pace" "So maybe the kitchen is better?" She nodded and I sat at the bar stool as she paced around the kitchen gathering thoughts. "Y/N— you are the greatest babysitter I've ever known.." "Thank you.." "A- and you're always there when I've needed. Whether it was a case or my divorce.. you're very important to me.. and the boys— they adore you.. and...  so do I..." my head perked up.

*JJ's POV*

I continued pacing around my kitchen in front of my crush— she probably thinks I'm so weird... but I gotta keep moving... "You're so smart and funny and you're so beautiful without trying— I've called you at 3 am and you showed up in your (fav show/movie) pajamas (hair messy or bonnet on) and it wasn't any less appealing than when you show up straight from the hair salon... You're just so perfect..." I trailed off staring at my feet. Another pair of feet appeared in front of me, along with two hands with their palms facing up and daintily open. I looked up. "Y/N.. I-," "If I'm understanding this right... you have a crush on me..." "I- I do.." "Good." I rested my hands in hers as she squeezed gently. "I like you too.. it was actually part of the reason why I took the job... Even if you were with Will... I just wanted to see that face of yours.. your eyes... the way your hair is always healthy.. and when you're rushing around the house trying to find your things with those black heeled boots and your pantsuit on... Hot by the way... Damn near irresistible..." I gave an exasperated breath recalling the scenery. "Now... I'm gonna ask to kiss you.. and I hope your answer will be-," "Yes. Oh my god yes!"

*Your POV*

Jennifer pulled me closer to her before snaking her arms around my waist. I cupped my hands around her face before crashing our lips together.  When I eventually pulled away, I announced, "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for that.." "Well then.. you gotta do it again" "Don't gotta tell me twice!" Again, our lips collided. Passion burning between them.

We stood there smiling like idiots until it was interrupted by Henry screaming from his room, "I'M STARVING!!" "OKAY HEN... did you wanna stay for dinner Y/N? I'll probably just order pizza..." "I'd love to stay.. Crap! My groceries are in my car! Might as well cook for you" I winked, "Henry's always telling me how good your food is... never had it myself though" "Great way to find out.. I'll be back"

Two minutes later, my ingredients sat on the kitchen counter while I put a pot of water on to boil. *chopping seasonings* "Jennifer... what are we?" "What do you want us to be?" She responded while wrapping her arms around my waist from behind. "I... I want to be your girlfriend... I know it's a bit soon but-," "But it's perfect.. I'd be happy to be your girlfriend" she said softly with a smile. "So technically I am fired then.." "Mmh not yet.. I'll still need a babysitter.." "Well don't go having a crush on the next one now" "Trust me.. I won't" *mwah*
