The Story

The Newborn

Emily's POV

Today was JJ and Henry's last day at the hospital. They were finally aloud to go home. As we walk out the doors of the hospital i hear JJ breath the word "finally" as if she were there for weeks. "Jayje we were there for like 3 days" i laugh, "yea but it felt like an eternity". We step into the car, i drive as she sits in the back, i call Hotch to let him know that e are headed home and to also let him know that i will most likely be back to work next wednesday (its friday). I thought i should at least take a few days to help JJ out with Henry concidering she doesnt have anyone else to help. We arrive back home fairly quickly and i unload the car while she brings Henry into the apartment to lay him down for a nap. I get all of the new gifts and baby things our friends had brought JJ and took them inside, dropping them off by the door of our bedroom. I never thought in a million years that JJ would be living with me, especially not under therse circomstances, but i really didn't mind. As i go to the bathroom to start the water of my shower a very exsausted looking JJ comes out of the guestroom, that we had turned into a nursery. "You ok" i ask as she shuffles towards me. She reaches me and i reach my arms out inviting her to come and hang on me, she gladly excepts. She wraps her arms tightly around me and rests her head on the chest, "yea just tired is all" she says before yawning. I laugh at the timing of that yawn "yea, i think its going to be like this for a long time" i say, JJ just leans her head back and groans. "Well im about to hop in the shower, why dont you take a nap and ill get Henry when im done" she looked hesitant, "I wont be long i promise" i reasure her. "Ok thank you" she says. We make it about 4 steps before JJ's legs basically give out on her from exhaustion. "Jesus love, you are tired" she gives me a head nod before i pick her up and carry her to the bed. I cover her up in blacket and kiss her forehea beofre i step into the bathroom to shower. I strip down my cloths and walk itno the hot water, it feels so good running down my back after not having a good shower in almost 4 days. I soon remember that i cant take long so i start to scrub my body and hair making sure to clean everywhere. When im done i step out and wrap myself in a towel, i walk back into the bedroom to see JJ asleep on the bed cuddles up to my side, i dont realize that i am staring until i hear a sound come from the baby monitor, it sounds like Henry just woke up from his nap. I quickly toss on some spandex shorts and an over sized graphic T and make my way to the crib.

JJ's POV

I wake up from my power nap to the sound of the tv. I uncover myself and walk out of the room to see the cutest sight, Emily is sitting there with Henry watching "FRIENDS" and even though he cant understand a word she is saying, shes explaing all the drama. I quickly take my phone out a snap a picture of the two of them and the i walk over to the back of the couch. I lean over and wrap my arms around Emily's shoulders, she turns her head and looks me in the eyes, which were only half open because of my still sleepy state. "Hi, did you have a good nap beautiful" she asks me, "yes, thank you so much" i say while stretching out and walking around the back of the couch to the front. I plop down next to Emily and she hands Henry off to me. I rock and sway him until the silence is broken once more. There Emily sits looking as perfect as ever laughing at a line from one of her favorite shows. She is so effortly beautiful it takes my breath away. Emily than stands up and goes into the kitchen, coming back moments later with a cup of water for me, "you know i could get these things myself, i can still walk" i say laughing "but thank you". She just takes a peice of lose hair from my face and puts it behind my ear, "i know you can walk, i just dont want you to, you shouldnt have to". I give her a thankful pouty face and she returns it with a slight smile. "Hey i think im going to shower too, i havent since tuesday" i say kind of disgusted in myslef, "ok" Emily says as she bends down holding out her arms for Henry. I place him there and get up, but before i walk into the bathroom i get a blanket for the two of them and cover them up. I step into the hot shower and just sit there with my thoughts. My first thought was how good Em looked in those spendex shorts, ever since i got pregnant my hormones have been sent into over drive, i calm myself down by switching my thoughts to houses and apartment near here. Emlil has told me countless times that she doesn't mind me staying with her but ive been here or 9 months and now i have a newborn that means lots of long nights and not a lot of sleep, and with our job i just dont want her worrying about me or Henry being here. I went online for a few minutes at the hospital to try and take my mind off the terrible food there and all the stress but i didn't really find anything. I finally stepped out of the shower a half an hour later, i had brought my clothes into the bathroom just in case Emily wanted to sit in her bed while i was in the shower. I decieded to shower in her bathroom instead of the guest one because that one id right next to the babies room and i didnt wantt o wake him if he went down for another nap. I threw on my spandex shorts and an oversized hoodie that i had stolen from Moran a few years back. I walk out of the room to see Emily asleep on the couch with Henry sprawled out onher chest aslo asleep. I couldnt help but pull out my phone for the second time and snap another picture, this time sending it to the BAU group chat. I put my phone away and go claim my spot on the couch next to Emily. I climb under the blanket and place my head on the side of her chest that Henry is not occupying. FRIENDS was over so i opted for switching it to Netflix and turning on the Nightmare Before Christmas considering Halloween was only a month away. We sat there like that for what seemed like a long time but it was really only 45 minutes.

Emily's POV

I awoke to the best veiw anyone could ask for. On one side of me was a sleeping Henry and on the other was the cutest little woman ive ever seen with her head on my chest watching a movie. I reach my right arm around her ahoulders and pull her in closer while i take my left hand and hover it over Henry for support in case he rolls. I look down to JJ to see her looking straight back up to me, those magnifisent blue eyes drawing me in, i couldnt help myeslf, i bent my neck down and placed a light kiss onto JJ's lips, her kissing me back before we pulled away a few seconds later. "Mornin to you to sleepy head" she said to me and we bothed laughed, "hey Jayje, sorry for falling asleep and leaving Henry unattended" i say thinking about what could have happened if he did roll off me, "Em, its fine, i think you both really needed the sleep and hes fine so there is nothing to be sorry for" she says carresing my face with her hand "but we do need to talk". I swallow hard at the thought of what we need to talk about, i could only think of one thing but i play dumb instead, "about what" i ask panicked on the inside but calm on the outside. "Ok first of all, calm down its nothing bad and i can tell your freaking out on the inside" she said first making me calm down almost instantly, "Second" i ask confused, "im looking for a place for Henry and i to live in" i have to think about what she had just said. I positioned myself to where i was sitting up and holding Henry to my chest trying not to wake him. "You dont have to, i truley love having you here and now with Henry you wont always have to care for him alone, i can watch him while you shower and sleep and do other things" i say very quickly, i am almost sent into a panick. "Emily, Emily calm down honey" she says breathing with me helping me get it back to normal. "Em, its not like that, i just dont watn to burrden you with all of this stress and baby stuff, ok" but i shake my head no, "JJ you know that i love you here and you know that i love Henry here, i can handle it, you can stay" i say with pleading eyes. "I dont know Em, raising a baby is a lot of work and i just dont want to put all of that on you especially when hes not even your baby" she says serious. "Ok, but just know you can still stay here, even if Henrys not mine, even if it is a lot of stress ans responsibility, ok you guys are family and i love having you here" JJ nodded ehr head and i pulled her into a side hug. and we layed back down on the couch. I was laying closest to the back with Henry laying back on my chest and JJ was laying in front of me cuddled up in a blanket as we watched the rest of the movie.
