I’ll Be Ok

JJ leans against her bedroom door and watches as Hotch assembles the crib she and Will had bought for their son. Whoever saw him work would think it was such a simple job, but the BAU liaison knew that was just an illusion.

She remembers the first time Will tried to assemble the thing and failed miserably. She had tried too and wasn’t much good with it, but Hotch… Hotch worked fast and with a familiarity that only came to those who had performed such task before.

Every once in a while he looks up and offers her a soft smile that JJ unconsciously returns, while she wonders how exactly she’s going to raise this kid all by herself if she can’t even assemble a crib without asking her boss for help.

The room starts to spin when suddenly JJ can’t find enough air to fill her lungs. She gasps desperately, keeping herself upright by holding the doorframe. In a flash, Hotch is by her side, leading her to the bed and telling her to take long, deep breaths. She feels him rubbing circles on her back, as he continues to speak in a low, soothing tone, telling her everything would be alright, that he was there with her.

It takes a moment, but JJ finally calms down, her breath returning to normal. She realizes Hotch is holding her close, protectively and still mumbling encouragements against her hair. For the first time since Will left, JJ feels the painful pressure in her chest start to ease.

Unconsciously (or at least she likes to pretend so), she snuggles closer to Hotch, seeking for warmth in the safety of his arms. In that moment, JJ knows that everything will work out. She knows she and Henry will be alright without Will.
