"Alice slow down!" JJ called after her four year old daughter as she ran down the hallway towards their new home.

"You're so slow mommy!" The young girl laughed as she stopped dead in her tracks. "Hurry Henry! I wanna see my room!" Alice cried, the small girl was not one for patience or silence for that matter. Every thought in her head blurted out of her mouth, it reminded JJ so much of Spencer all the time. JJ felt her son push past her before the two children continued to run down the hallway to apartment 11B.

JJ carried one of the boxes filled with her children's clothes down the hallway and into her new apartment. The land lord had left the door unlocked for them so the kids were already inside dancing around the empty. The living room/kitchen walls were painted an ugly off white that made JJ cringe. The carpet was a dull brown colour and there looked to be holes in the wall. Sighing JJ set the box down to explore the rest of her new home.

"Which one is my room mommy?" Henry asked taking his mother's hand as the three blondes walked down the hallway.

JJ lead her son to the first room on the left. "This is yours and Alice's room. You two are sharing remember? Just like when we lived with Grandma." Henry nodded his head in understanding but Alice wasn't having any of it.

"No! I don't want a stinky smelly boys room! I want stars in my room!" The four year old whined. "Henry doesn't like stars!"

The thing that reminded JJ about Spencer that Henry had was his shyness. Henry always hated being the centre of attention, he hated loud things and arguments which was one of the reasons that JJ had moved out of her mother's house. All the two women did was argue about; how to raise the twins, JJ choosing to finish high school, JJ choosing to go to college, JJ deciding to except the job from the FBI, JJ moving to Virginia...

There was no privacy in that town. After JJ's first prenatal appointment everyone knew that the fifteen year old was expecting a baby. It had been a rough year with Spencer leaving, then JJ's father fell sick with leukaemia... And died one month before the twins were born. And that's where JJ got the names Alice and Henry from. Henry was her fathers name and Alice was what JJ's father wanted to call JJ before her mother decided upon Jennifer. "Alice behave. After I work for a few years we can move into a nice big house! With your own rooms okay? But until then we have to make everything work with what we have so why don't we go get the rest of the boxes from the car?"

The kids agreed and walked out of the apartment. On their way back up from car Alice was carrying a small box which held her favourite stuffed animal. Just two feet away from the door when she tripped on her untied shoe lace. JJ was half way up the steps when she heard the 'thump' she ran up the rest of the stairs stopping to look back at Henry to make sure he was okay before turning to find Alice sitting in the hallway on the floor with a brunette man.

"Are you okay darlin'?" He asked as he moved the box away. "The floor tends to be uneven here." He confessed before looking up to find JJ watching him. "And you must be the little ladies mama?" He asked standing up and extending his arm.

JJ gave his hand a shake before crouching down next to her daughter. "Yes I am... I'm sorry if we were being loud-"

"No not at all I heard something or well someone fall so I took a look out my door to find her layin' on the ground." JJ scoped Alice up in her arms and pulled Henry who was behind her up. "I'm Will by the way. Are you just movin in?"

"Yeah!" Alice chirped up. "We moved from grammy's house in Pennsvillya!"

"Wow Pennsylvania, you've come a long way!"

Alice nodded her head excitedly. "Why do you talk funny?"

"Alice!" JJ scolded but Will just laughed.

"It happens all the time. I'm from New Orleans it's how I learned to talk." JJ and Will continued to talk for a while until Alice declared it was time to eat. JJ had learned that Will was a detective for the DC Police department, and he just lived next door and to them. The detective also shocked JJ by inviting her out for dinner, not right away but when she was rested and settled into her new home.

JJ couldn't help but smile as she felt butterfly's in her stomach. It made her feel special... He was well aware that she has two kids and JJ barley looked twenty years old but he wanted to go out with her... Get to know her... JJ agreed to one day take him up on that offer before she escorted the kids back into their apartment.

After dinner that night JJ tucked Alice and Henry into there sleeping bags. The moving truck was due that weekend so for the next two days everyone would be sleeping on the floor. "Can you sing to us mommy?" Henry asked as he rubbed his eyes and snuggled against his bear and Alice nodded her head in agreement.

"Sing the one about the animals." The blonde girl requested with a yawn.

JJ moved to lay between her children before beginning.
"All the animals
Agree you and me
Should be a team

And they walk on parade
Say that we were made
To be a team

And my flesh melts beneath your tongue
I am your little comunion

And all the rainbows
Tell me that they know
We're a perfect pair

And the birds up in the sky
Say they can see it from way up high
We're a perfect pair

And my wings weaken beneath your will
And before you I am trembling and still

All the birds know it
One and one is two
All the birds see it
Tell me why don't you

And all the light of the sun
Doesn't help me out none
'cause you still can't see me"

When JJ finished Henry and Alice were sound asleep.

"Mommy. Mommy. Mommy it's time to get up!" Alice cried as she shook her mother's shoulder. "You have to go to work!" Soon Alice was joined by Henry and the two were shaking their mother back and forth until she opened her eyes.

"Well good morning." She groaned as she sat up off of the floor. "What can I do for you two?"

The twins laughed before standing up and pointing to the box that held canned food and a box of cereal. JJ sat up and stretched before slipping out of the sleeping bag and walking towards the box and pulled out the lucky charms and three plastic bowls. JJ on Ju poured them out before handing them to her children. "No milk?" Alice asked.

"No fridge." JJ replied with a smile. "Auntie Elle will be here in half an hour so why don't you guys finish eating your breakfast and I will go get dressed.when JJ retired to the living room she found her children calmly eating their lucky charms and talking in their own language. "Twin things." JJ mumbled to herself before leaning over to kiss their heads.

Five minutes past and Elle still hadn't arrived. JJ walked over to the plug in the wall and pulled out her phone from the charger, two missed calls and three text messages.

"Sorry Jayge my car broke down."

JJ sent a quick reply before letting out a frustrated sigh. First day of work and she wouldn't be able to go. Then an idea struck! JJ zoomed out of her apartment and knocked on her neighbours door.

Will answered as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He was only in a pair of grey track pants and no shirt... Not that JJ minded. "What's going on JJ?" He asked softly.

JJ coughed slightly to drag herself out of her thoughts. "I... I know this is probably a lot to ask you... But I need a babysitter... Just until I get back from work. Would you mind? I'll even pay you!" JJ urged in desperation.

"Sure!" Will agreed. "I'd love to get to know the little tikes!" He said much to JJ's surprise. "Lemme get dressed."

JJ arrived at the office half and hour later only ten minutes late for work. She parked in her assigned spot, sighed in with the front desk, the headed for the elevator and hit the seventh floor button. JJ rolled slightly onto the balls of her feet careful not to go too high because of her heels. When the elevator stopped as best she could JJ walked through the the class doors to find the desks of the BAU agents empty. Figuring they were in a meeting the blonde walked up the catwalk and across to the round table room.

As JJ approached the door she readied herself the best she could. It was slightly intimidating to her, everyone was so much older, and had so much more experienced... She was fresh out of the academy and only held part time jobs before this.

Now JJ wished she never pulled the handle to that door... Because who was behind just made things more complicated.
