This episode aired November 9th so technically Henry would still be two, turning three in three days. I'm going to assume JJ got back from the case November 11th before Henry's birthday. I hope you all like it!

JJ couldn't sleep that night for thinking about her phone call with Will and Henry. This was the part of her job that she really hated. Her little boy had been sick and in need of a mother's touch, but still, she had left him and went on the case anyway. God, she felt so guilty. The tears had been continuous since she bid Henry goodnight and told Will she loved him and was sorry once again. She should have been there. She knew Will needed her there, as Henry could be a handful when he was poorly.

That didn't matter now. The storm was suppose to break in the morning and the team would be able to use the jet again. And she was ever so thankful that she would make it home on time for her baby's birthday.

First flight out was 9am and only being a ninety minute journey, JJ called Will to let him know she would be home early afternoon.

"Can't wait darlin'" had been his reply in his southern drawl, followed by the squeals of Henry somewhere in the background.

On departure of the jet, Emily approached JJ before she rushed off to her SUV. "Heading straight home?" she asked.

"Yeah. Yeah, Henry's 'swinging from the light shades' apparently running circles around poor Will" she chuckled and flung her go-bag in the back seat.

Emily grinned and hugged the blonde. "Give the little guy a kiss from me."

JJ agreed then took off home, waving at the team as she turned the corner out of the air strip.

Once home, she made the familiar journey up her pathway rather swiftly, acknowledging Kate and little Bethany playing in the front yard before going inside.

"Hey I'm home!" she sang, a little too dramatically, dumping her bag and coat on the side table. "Will?" she called again after no response. Uncertain of her boys' whereabouts, JJ pulled her iPhone from her back pocket and just as she was about to call Will, the sound of Henry's giggles projected from the back yard. It was like music to her ears.

JJ followed the chatter and laughs through the living room, into the kitchen, and out the back door. "Well, well, what do we have here?" JJ stood in the archway of the door with her hands on her hips.

"Mommy!" Henry galloped in her direction. For a two year old, he was pretty fast.

Preparing herself for a dripping wet toddler aiming for her smart suit, she crouched to his level and opened her arms for the biggest hug ever.

"Oh!" she exclaimed when he crashed into her chest. "Someone is feeling better."

Without a breath between words he chanted "You home! Daddy got the pool out! Look! Look!"

"I see that, buddy" she laughed and flashed her 'hundred watt smile', as Will would call it, to her boyfriend standing knee deep in the water.

"Welcome home" Will said softly.

"Mommy, come pway." HIs attempts at simple dialogue were adorable and both JJ and Will were definitely noticing some improvement as the weeks went by.

She smiled down at Henry since he had now tugged on her hand and pulled her towards the pool.

"Yeah, mommy, come play" Will grinned.

"I'll have to...aah! Whoah!" Too late. Her almost dry suit was now soaking wet thanks to Will and his water gun.

Henry burst into a fit of giggles and jumped into the pool, splashing the water over JJ.

"Hey!"

Will laughed, "You're soaked now, may as well join us."

"I think it would fit better if I were in a bathing suit, boys" she winked at Will. "Give me ten minutes" she promised as she squeezed Henry's cheeks.

As promised, ten minutes later, bikini on body and a tray of lemonade drinks in her hand, JJ retreated to the back yard to two happy looking boys.

"Come have a drink Henry" she told the toddler when she sat down at the picnic table next to the pool.

Henry and Will jumped out the pool and JJ hugged a towel around the dripping wet boy before balancing him on her knee.

"I missed you" Will said after a gulp of lemonade.

"I missed you too. Both of you." JJ kissed Henry's long blonde locks. She offered her free hand across the table to Will and he accepted it gently. She shone a smile in his direction.

"Di' you catch a bad man, mommy?" Henry asked as he looked up at her.

"Yes I did."

"Good. Pway now?"

"Come on." she picked him up, still holding Will's hand, and the family of three sauntered towards the pool.

As Henry splashed and played, quite content that both his parents were home, Will sat with his back against the pool while JJ rested on his lap, enveloped in his arms. The couple watched their son in awe, grateful for these rare moments together.

Will nuzzled his lips against JJ's neck from behind and placed a few kisses there before whispering in her ear "Why won't you marry me?"

"Why rock the boat?" she replied simply. "Everything's perfect the way it is."

His reply was only a smile, a genuine one. And even though she didn't see it, she could feel the curl of his lips against her skin. In this moment she was content with her life; her family, her friends and her job were perfect. Nothing could change that. Not even a piece of paper.

"Let's pway shark and fishes!" Henry exclaimed, shooting the water gun in the much-too-cosy couple's vicinity.

Nothing but smiles and laughter in the Jareau-Lamontagne household were present the remainder of the day.

Please let me know what you think guys.

Going to watch Nanny Dearest now. Writing this has caused major Willifer feels!
