Change

JJ pov...

I've taken four months off after Emiline's birth but not going back to work. I got Emiline into a daycare that is close to Henry's school and work.

Today is the first day back at work , I get changed before I pack my bag with everything I need before going into the kitchen. I start on making lunch for Henry and getting some bottles to go into Emiline's bag. I finish packing the bags and taking them to to the car.

I go into Henry's room first and turn on the light and call his name to get him awake. He slowly wakes up and says morning before getting out of bed to get ready. I go out of his room and into Emiline's room. I pick her up and she wakes up before I change her diaper and clothes.

I walk back into the kitchen, I start getting her bottle ready to feed her. Em walks in with Henry and starts getting breakfast for the three of us ready. We all sit down at the table to eat while we talk. Em and I both have the same hours for the day made around the start and end of the day for the children so we can drop them off in the morning before work and pick them up in the afternoon after work finishes for the day.

Once everyone is ready we get into the car and I beat Em into the driver's seat today. We first go to EMiline's daycare as Henry wanted to come see her off on her first day of daycare. We talk to the people looking after the children and put Emiline's bag away before saying goodbye and leaving. We head into Henry's class and see him off before driving into work.

We walk inside and to my desk to see everyone welcome me back for the first day after the months off at home. I have missed working as it has always been a big part of my life. I miss the team here as we get along well, I still miss the old team back at the BAU as we were like family but I'm still not ready for them to know the truth and honestly at this stage I don't know if they will ever find out.

I talk to everyone for a little bit before we have to start working so we all spread out to our own desks. I get started on the pile of paperwork I have to catch up before working on a new case. It's different to be back at work, I have missed it and being on cases. All I seem to think about right now is Emiline and the BAU, it's hard to be away from her as I've been with her basically all day every day since she was born. It makes me think back to a similar time of having Henry and going back to work after his birth, it took time to adjust to a new routine and being away from my baby all day but it has to happen as they grow up. You just make sure you have time to spend with them so they don't grow up too soon or miss out on special moments which is what I like about this job as it has normal hours and I don't go away for days at a time like at the BAU, of course I loved the work and still miss it sometimes but I'm finding the new start for my life I got here works well for me and my family.
