Chapter 6

A few hours had gone by before every box had been brought upstairs and majority of them had been unpacked. JJ had sent the kids to start unpacking their boxes as Will and Morgan set up their beds. Emily and Reid joined everyone upstairs as well and started on all of the kitchen things. The once empty apartment started to look fuller and more home like. Every once in a while Spencer would look back to JJ and watch her as she started organizing her living room, moving the couch around and unpacking child friendly videos. The young man noticed he recognized the couch before realizing it was the one that used to sit in the basement of the Jareau home... He and JJ had some interested adventures on that couch. The thoughts of the past memories made him blush slightly before he turned back and opened a new box.

"Why so red?" Emily chuckled as she placed a stack of dishes into a cupboard.

Spencer stuttered for a moment. "N-nothing I just- I know the couch. It was JJ's dads, he kept it in the basement for Monday night football. Her mother was never a fan of television so they had a cheap one in the basement reserved for sports."

"Oh." She replied. "Did you spend a lot of time in the basement?"

Spencer felt his cheeks get warm. "I wasn't much of a sports fan... Only when the red skins were playing..."

"Well I'm sure you went down there for different physical activities." Emily smirked before walking away leaving Spencer flustered with his words and thoughts.

As time went on the team began to leave Jack and Hotch went home first for dinner followed by Garcia and Morgan. It reached close to dinner time so JJ decided see if her children were hungry. Upon entering their room the blonde mother let out a surprised gasp, their room was completely finished and looked absolutely adorable. There was not a lot mostly cheap ikea furniture but it looked great! The twins were sitting in their respective beds and were ordering Will around telling him where they wanted their toys to be. "When my drill sergeants are ready I would like to know what they want on their pizza."

"Pepperoni!" Alice shouted as she jumped off the bed, Henry followed behind nodding his head.

"Sounds good." JJ replied. "Now what do we need to say to Will?"

"Thank you!" The twins spoke in unison and with big smiles. They ran out the room leaving JJ and Will alone.

"Anything you like on your pizza?" She asked.

Will thought for a moment, "pepperoni sounds good. We can split the price?"

JJ shook her head before resting a hand in his arm. "No way, you helped me move all of my stuff. I'll buy."

Emily and Spencer were in the living room have a discussion with the twins when a knock on the door sounded. JJ walked through the apartment, checked the peep hole, and sighed. She unlocked the chain and the knob before swinging it open. "You're kind of late."

A medium height woman with brown hair and a round face stepped through the door holding a slab pizza. "Bonjourno!" She smiled brightly at JJ who just rolled her eyes. "What? You know I hate physical activity!" She sighed over dramatically. "Well besides soccer."

JJ just nodded before taking the pizza and entering the living room. "Everyone this is my friend Elle, Elle this is Will, Emily, and you know Spence-" the words left JJ's mouth before she could stop them.

Elle who was never lost for words stood quietly pondering between a few choices. She could either A yell at the awkwardly sitting man who left her pregnant best friend or flirt with the hot brunette who was standing in her best friends living room OR flirt with the other brunette girl whom she knew as Emily now. Too many choices so little time... But her attention was turned to her niece and nephew who were attempting to get her attention. "Come see our room Auntie Elle!" Alice cried. Elle left kindly with them without another word.

"So that's the infamous Elle I've heard so much about?" Will spoke after a few minutes of silence.

JJ nodded before taking a bite of her pizza. "Yeah she, my friend Jordan, and I have know each other for as long as we can remember. We've been playing soccer since we could run." She smiled.

"I didn't know you played." Will replied. "We're you any good?" He laughed.

JJ smiled widely. "We were undefeated! From grade school to night school, with me as forward, Elle as defence, and Jordan as goalie nothing got past us. We one every game setting a record for our league-"

"That was until blondie got knocked up and couldn't play our sophomore year." Elle cut in as she entered the room. "Without our lead player we were crap!" The brunette walked over to the couch and flipped over the back landing sprawled out across Spencer and Emily. "Then she couldn't  play the other two years cause no one wanted to babysit for a fifteen year old." She dragged on.

JJ felt her face head up when a look of surprise crossed Will face, did he not figure that out in his own? How old did he think she was? How old was he?! "That's enough Elle!" JJ finally snapped.

"The past is the past Jennifer," Elle sighed. "You need to learn to enjoy it. I have the best niece and nephew in the whole world! Because you and and the scrawny monkey over here," she tapped Spencer leg. "Couldn't keep it PG for longer than three days."

JJ's face went red with anger while Spencer's went red with embarrassment while Emily just laughed. "I didn't see you as one of those kind of guys."

"W-what?" Spencer stuttered.

"You know the the kind to always be having sex, I figured it was more a one time deal before you left." Emily replied. "But now I see you in a whole new light Reid."

His face got even redder, Spencer was about to reply when Will stood from his seat. "I-I better be headin' back... Early shift tomorrow." Spencer's heart broke a little when JJ stood up and went after the New Orleans.

"Will, please just wait a second-"

He stopped in his tracks and spun round to see JJ closing the door to her apartment. "Were you going to tell me he is there father?" Will snapped. "What if I had said somethin' stupid? Are you still with him? Then why the hell have you been flirtin' with me?!"

JJ took a moment to process all of his questions. "I didn't tell because it's not relevant Will... Spencer and I well it's complicated, he didn't know about Henry and Alice until very recently... And no he and I aren't together and nor Will we be." Will nodded his head before turning to his door and unlocking it. Just as he was about to walk in JJ said something else. "I've been flirting with you because I like you too. And I was hoping we could give it a shot."

His expression softened as he turned away from the door and walked over to JJ using his left hand to cup her cheek and tilt her face towards him. "Yeah, I think we can give it a shot." He whispered before softly pressing his lips against her.

The sound of a door slam pulled the two apart. "Oh! My bad!" Emily gasped over dramatically. "I didn't mean to ruin your moment, I was just heading home."

JJ blushed a soft pink before speaking. "Thank you for coming."

"It was nice meetin' you." Will said.

"Like wise," Emily replied. "Well I'll see you on Monday JJ."

It turned out that Will really did have an early shift so JJ let him go before returning to her own apartment. The twins were now on the floor eating pizza while Elle was still sprawled out over Spencer and the two were making light conversation. Elle had a crush on Spencer all the way back in the sixth grade until the ninth, she used to leave little notes in his locker and extra chocolate in valentines cards. At the end of the eight grade Spencer had worked up the courage to approach JJ and the two formed a close bond. By the middle of the ninth grade Elle had moved on to some senior and JJ and Spencer started dating.

"Well I should get home..." Spencer stated as he pushed Elle off of him to stand up.

"You should walk me home." Elle demanded more than asked. "Bye Jay, munchkins."

Spencer waved awkwardly at the three blondes before walking out behind Elle. JJ slumped down on the couch and closed her eyes. This was either going to get easier or a lot worse.

AN: Thank you to everyone who has been reading this story! I'm so proud of it! So just to clarify Elle is not Elle Greenaway! Funny story I wrote Ellen the first time but my iPad auto corrected to Elle and I was too lazy to fix it. Also Elle is the third in the picture the one JJ has her arm around with the bangs! And how do we feel about a Reid/Elle relationship?
