I love this story. I hope to read a sequel. I hope too see Reid propose to JJ and have a baby on the way.

I would love a sequel with JJ and Reid married and having a baby.

Such a cute story.

Aww! This was so cute!

This should be interesting. It's difficult enough dealing with a parent of a victim, yet alone a parent who is ill.
On a side note, I hope Diana recognizes her son.

Of course Reid can cook. He was 10 when his father left for good. He could, at least, follow directions. He's been on his own ever since. JJ just needs to give him a chance.

Well, it's about time he admitted his feelings, even if were only to Henry. Can you can "Finally!"

Loved it!

love it

Kind of a harsh A/N at the beginning of the chapter. You have more reviews in chapters 41-42 than many writers have for their entire story. It's a good story. The reviews will come.
As of today, you have 368 reviews. Not bad, not bad at all.

Yes, Spencer, you do love her. You just don't know it yet.

Awwwww, what a sweet way to end this story :).

I love how utterly impatient Henry is about getting his dog :p. Can't say I blame him. But I like how JJ and Reid handled that, trying to keep him occupied until then. And I liked Reid trying to help him learn how to handle the dog. Kind of funny that Reid wound up being the one to check out Dex and make sure he was compatible-so much for the "Reid effect", huh? I also loved Henry telling his toys about their new friend. Such a cute little boy :). I'm glad that the dog's settling in well with the family, and Henry's being so committed to taking care of him.

And LOL at Henry pleading for his usual chocolate chip pancakes. JJ's right to try and keep a little variety, but I understand Henry's disappointment, too :p. Good on Reid backing JJ up on that, too, though aw at him being so tempted to give in. Why do I get the feeling he's going to be the "fun" parent in that regard, so to speak :D?

As for Reid and JJ...sigh. So good to see them happy together like this. Their little moment together when they woke up was sweet and sexy, as was the way they hinted at expanding their family at the end. And Reid being certain she'd take his last name sometime soon. Yay :).

LOL at Reid trying to keep the blankets over himself and JJ, too :D. Yeah, that would be a very amusing and interesting conversation, for sure. Thank goodness Henry was so focused on getting that dog, eh?

Sad to see this story come to an end, but what a lovely way to wrap it up. I very much enjoyed it. I'm sorry to hear your muse isn't cooperating in regards to this show right now, but if and when it does return and you do decide to write for this show and these characters again, I'll definitely be on the lookout for those stories. Great story.

A lovely ending to a lovely story. Thanks for the ride.

I'm fine with that choice :). Sometimes just the insinuations are sexy enough. And that end scene was DEFINITELY sexy. I think you handled that transition to the next step in their relationship perfectly. I love the bit with Reid just gazing at her a bit when he first comes into the room. It's always sweet to see him admiring her and realizing just how lucky he is, and how much he loves her. His nervousness at JJ's actions was cute, too :D. Aw. It's good to see them getting ever closer.

As for other topics, YAY for the puppy! I love the way Henry cornered JJ when asking about it, and put on his best pleading face :p. LOL. He's good. And I love how excited he is about getting the dog, too, to the point where he's paying extra close attention to when his mom got better. He'll definitely have fun with their new puppy, for sure.

And his suggested name of Dex, and where the "D" portion of it came from? Awwwwwwwwwwwww :). That's so sweet. I love how he explains that so naturally, too, as if it's so obvious. It's so heartwarming, too, to see how touched Reid is by Henry calling him Daddy and viewing him in those terms.

LOL at Reid trying to clear up and explain his discussion about a pet with Henry to JJ, too :p. It's cute that he actually apologized for the mix up. I'm glad she understood the gist of how that played out, though, and wound up agreeing with him. I loved their serious discussion about what types of dogs might be best for Henry, and I liked the bit about Reid reading up on dogs, and JJ joking about him being able to do that in an evening :D. Don't doubt that. He'll become a very informed dog owner in no time. And good to know JJ can help out where possible with her own experience, too.

I also loved how Reid followed up and called around for possible dogs ready to adopt. Very much approve of the shelter decision, and I'm glad they were able to find a dog nearby. It does sound like he made an excellent choice, and I'm glad that that puppy's getting a good home.

On a different note, the bit with Reid keeping his office door open, and the reasons as to why he did so, were a lovely touch, too. I really enjoy these little details you put in, it's a nice, subtle way to show how Reid's become such a part of this family, and a sweet example of how much he cares about JJ and Henry. I'm really enjoying seeing these guys become a full-fledged family, and everything falling into place as it is. And as always, I can't wait to see what else awaits them :).

love it more please
