Chapter 7

Morgan, Reid and Blake walked into the bullpen and sat at their desks. Hotch and Rossi had left straight from the parking garage, after bidding them all a goodnight.

"This has been a long case." Morgan said closing his eyes and resting his head on the back of his chair.

"Yeah it has." Agreed Blake. "You sure you want to do this?"

Morgan opened one eye and looked at her.

"Do what?" He asked then closed it again.

"Well, you know." She trailed off. Moran knew what she was talking about, but wasn't going to make it easy.

"No I don't know." He said with his eyes still shut.

Blake sighed. "Take care of a kid by yourself?"

"It will be fine." Moran said dismissively.

"It's not as easy as it looks and I only babysat Henry for a few hours." Reid said.

Morgan opened his eyes and sat up in his chair. "That's because you bore them to death, and Henry likes you."

"Yeah, that didn't make it any easier."

"Everything will be fine Reid, just drop it." Morgan snapped.

"Okay, I was just trying to help."

Before Morgan could respond JJ walked in with Jacob sleeping on her shoulder.

"You ready to go?" She asked shifting him higher onto her hip.

"Yeah." Morgan stood from his chair and put the files that were on his desk into one of the drawers.

"Bye guys. See you Monday." JJ said to Reid and Blake.

They both waved and stood from their respective seats also.


JJ stood by Morgan's car and waited for him to unlock it. She opened the back door and buckled Jacob into the car seat.

"I put Henry's car seat in here for Jake to use, I have another one at home."

"Great, thanks." Morgan leaned against the side of his car.

JJ shut the car door as quietly as possible. "He should stay asleep, and I already changed him into his pajamas."

"Okay." Morgan nodded his head suddenly feeling nervous. "And, uh, if he does wake up?"

"Talk to him. Make sure he knows where he is, things like that. He may wake up and fall straight back to sleep."

Morgan licked his lips and glanced down.

"Hey." JJ said bringing his gaze back to hers. "You will do great."

Morgan smiled, "Thank you."

"No problem, and remember you can call me if you need anything." JJ said stepping away from his car.

"Goodnight Jayje."


Morgan pulled up to his house and parked his car. He got out and opened the trunk. Why is there so many bags? He thought.

He opened one of the bags and saw clothes. He grabbed the bag and left the rest in the trunk. He went to the right side of his car and opened the door.

Jacob was still sound asleep. He looked peaceful, with his curls falling gently around his face. Morgan unbuckled him and took him into his arms. It was the first time he had been so close to Jacob. He got to feel firsthand how light he really was.

Morgan picked up the bag with his free hand and walked to his door.

He heard the shuffle of Clooney's feet against the floor. Morgan opened the door and walked to his guest bedroom, with Clooney following behind him. Morgan put Jake's bag by the door and then lowered him onto the bed. He took his backpack and shoes off of him. He pulled the covers overtop of Jacob's small body and walked out of his room.

Morgan walked into his kitchen and poured a glass of water. He looked at the clock on his microwave and it read half past eleven. He put his glass in the sink and checked to make sure the door was locked.

He then walked down the hall and left a light on in the hallway leading to Jake's room. He walked into his room and lied down on his bed.

He was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.


Morgan woke up the next morning with the sun shining in through his curtains.

He looked at the clock on his bed side table, eight-sixteen. He got up from the bed and stretched his arms out in front of him.

He walked out into the hall and was confused when he saw the light was on. He walked to it and shut it off. He looked down the hall and it all came back to him.

Morgan walked towards Jacob's room and pushed the door open enough to poke his head in.

The blanket was half on the bed, half off the bed. Morgan pushed the door open further and could see clearly that the bed was empty.

"Ah shit." Morgan turned on his heels and walked out of the room.

He looked in the living room. "Jacob." He called out.

Nothing.

"Jacob." He called louder walking into the bathroom.

Again nothing.

Morgan ran to the front door and saw it was still locked. He then ran back into the bedroom Jacob had slept in. Both of the windows were still shut and locked.

"Where are you?" He mumbled.

Morgan searched every spot he could imagine a four-year old would hide. He checked all of Henry's hiding spots and every one came up empty.

Oh JJ she was going to be pissed. He didn't have the kid for even twenty-four hours before he managed to lose him.

"Jacob!" He called out one last time, in a last ditch-effort that he would come out.

Morgan sighed when he received no reply and grabbed his phone from his dresser.

He dialed the number he wanted and put the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" JJ's voice came through the phone.

Morgan rubbed his hand against the back of his neck. "Uh, hey, I have a problem."
