I couldn’t believe what had just happened. After Emily left, I thought our team would never be the same. After Alex came things seemed to be getting back to normal. Or as normal as they could be without Emily here. I grabbed my go bag, headed outside and called Will to check on Henry.
“Hey”, Will said when he answered to phone.
“Hey, how is he doing?” I asked as I looked around to make sure that no one was around. With Alex gone and this case ahead, I really didn’t want to give them one more thing to worry about.
“He’s fever hasn’t broke and the doctor hasn’t called back yet. Still the same.” Will replied. He was mumbling and yawning so he must have just gotten up. Henry wasn’t going to school so they both slept in.
“Okay, can I speak to him?” I asked, leaning against a wall.
“Yeah, yeah, of course, Henry it’s mommy on the phone.” I heard Henry in the background shuffling in his bed.
“Hi baby, how are you feeling?” I asked tentatively.
“Okay”, Henry replies in a barely audible whisper. He has always had a habit of speaking that way.
“Mommy loves you okay?” I said. I really just wanted to stay home with him right now.
“Yes. I love you”, he whispered.
“Can you hand to phone back to daddy?” I ask him.
I hear will take the phone from Henry and walk to another room.
“JJ, is everything alright?”
“Well, on top of everything that is going on with Henry, Alex resigned. She left a note on Hotch’s desk this morning.”
“Wow, okay then. Don’t worry about Henry today. Just do your job. We’re going to watch some cartoons and rest today. He will be fine. I promise” Will assured me.
Easy for him to say…
After a few seconds I reply, “Yeah alright. I’ve got to go. Call me if you get any of the test results back.”
“I will, don’t worry, I love you okay. See you when you get back”.
I hung up the phone and joined the rest of the team.
