“Em,” JJ whimpered, coming over to Emily on the jet.

“Yes love?” Emily replied, looking up at her girlfriend whose arms were crossed. She had a large frown on her face and her eyes were turned down. Emily couldn’t help but smile. “What's the matter sweet girl?” Emily stood up and unfolded JJ’s arms, taking her hands.

“Emmyyyy,” JJ cried and put her head on her shoulder. Emily smiled and wrapped her arms around JJ, holding her close. She rubbed her back and knew she was regressing again, she wondered what caused it.

“Shall we go sit down somewhere else?” Emily asked, holding JJ at arms length. JJ didn’t reply. She avoided eye contact. “Come on,” Emily said. She took JJ’s hand and took her to the back of the jet.

“My blanket Em,” JJ whimpered, pulling at her arm.

“What about it?”

“Where it?” JJ asked. Emily stopped and looked around.

“You don’t know?” Emily asked. “You had it in the car.” JJ nodded and felt her eyes tear up. She left her blanket in the car and now they were on the jet.

“Hey it’s okay, let me go look for it- sit down,” Emily said and sat JJ down quickly, to try and avoid more tears in front of the team. They couldn’t go home without her blanket. JJ pulled her knees to her chest and buried her head in them. She didn’t want to be seen being so silly but her blanket was everything. Emily rubbed her back quickly and headed down the jet, looking for her girl’s blanket.

This all started with the blanket. The blue, cotton blanket that JJ had everywhere with her. No one took much notice of it mostly but the first time JJ lost it, it caused an entire meltdown and JJ couldn’t hold it together, she broke down, regressed, in Emily’s arms, sobbing for her comfort item. Then came the colouring books with the crayons not pens. And then the softer, timid toddler talk. Emily bought her a few dolls, let her watch cartoons, cut her food up into funny shapes. No one said anything as they watched JJ occasionally become younger in front of them because they didn’t mind. It was obviously JJ’s own way of healing a childhood she refused to speak about.

But now she was on the brink of another breakdown because her blanket was lost again.

“Have you seen JJ’s blanket?” Emily asked Morgan.

“The blue one? No. Has she lost it?” He sent the blonde, in the corner, a quick look and sighed. Her shoulders were shaking.

“I think it’s in the car,” Emily sighed, knowing this would be hard without her blanket - harder if she was in this way.

“I saw it,” Spencer perked up, seeing his friends in distress.

“Where?”

“It got shoved in a bag-” Spencer stood up and headed towards where the bags were stored on the jet. A second later, he emerged with the blue blanket in his hand.

“Oh thank god!” Emily said loudly. “You are the best!” She hit Spencer on the shoulder as a thank you and took the blanket over to JJ. She hadn’t lifted her head or even noticed the blanket was found.

“Jay,” Emily whispered, bending down in front of her girl, “Look what I found.”

JJ lifted her head and sniffled. She saw the blanket and smiled widely, taking it. She rubbed the corner against her face and fell even younger.

“That’s it, wipe the tears,” Emily whispered.

“I- I sorry,” JJ choked out. She hated this happening with the team. She just wanted to be alone with Emily at their house, away from people watching her.

“No need to apologise, sweetheart,” Emily told her. “Do you want to cuddle?” JJ nodded and slid from her chair and straight into Emily, making the older woman laugh.

“Let’s sit in a chair, hm,” Emily said. She stood up and sat down across the sofa and pulled JJ into her arms. JJ settled instantly in her girlfriend’s arms, feeling safe. Safer than ever. Emily grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around JJ as much as she could.

“Try nap yeah?”

“No nap,” JJ replied.

“No nap? Why no nap?”

“No naaaap,” JJ whined and flicked her feet, kicking Emily in the process.

“Okay- okay, why though?”

“No tired!”

“No tired? I think you are.”

“I not.” JJ shook her head.

“No? Them little bags under your eyes say otherwise,” Emily said. She lifted a hand and tickled JJ’s eyes making her giggle.

“I not tired,” JJ confirmed and tried to hold back a yawn.

“Ohhh, she’s not tired, okay,” Emily said. “That’s just fine.”

“Jus fine,” JJ giggled and snuggled into Emily more.

It wasn’t even five minutes before JJ was sleeping softly in the curve of Emily’s side.

They got home and JJ stumbled in the door sleepily. She had her blue blanket wrapped over her shoulders and Emily carried the bags in behind her.

“Emmmmy,” JJ whined loudly as she flopped against the sofa, banging her head on a stuffed toy left there from before they went to work. Emily laughed, knowing she had a whiny girl.

“Yes Jay?”

“It messy,” JJ said, looking around the room. Her toys were sprawled across the floor, a blanket and some cushions from her interrupted picnic.

“Oh yeah?” Emily couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of her girl and her mess.

“Mhm, think you gotta clean it.” JJ shot Emily her cheeky grin.

“I think I need to take a shower and I think you should clean up your mess,” Emily replied, watching her.

“Noooooo,” JJ whined and rolled across the sofa, her feet falling onto the floor.

“Well it's not my mess, Jay!” Emily said.

“Well it not mine,” JJ giggled and hid her face.

“Oh isn’t it? Some little monster must have snuck into our house and done it all!” Emily laughed and snuck up behind JJ. She attacked her in tickles suddenly and JJ let out loud laughs, wiggling against the sofa.

“Emmy!” She screeched, wiggling.

“Are you going to clean up your mess?” Emily asked, giving JJ a moment to breathe.

“Not my mess!”

“It is indeed. Go on, clean it up please,” Emily said, more seriously this time.

JJ let out an all mighty groan and buried her head deep in the sofa.

“Then we can build a fort and make pizza.” Emily added and JJ perked up.

“Really?”

“Only if you clean up your mess.”

“I gonna do it right now!” She jumped up and headed towards the mess. She was quick to sort it whilst Emily headed upstairs to sort out their go bags - refresh the clothes and put the others in the wash.

JJ was done in record time and shouted upstairs. “I done Emmy!” She headed up them, taking it two steps at a time, super excited to see Emily and build their fort and make their pizza.

“Two minutes, baby,” Emily said to her as JJ crashed into their bedroom.

“But I done. I done. I done, come seeee,” JJ grabbed Emily’s sleeve in an attempt to drag her away from the washing.

“Jay.” Emily warned and JJ let go in a huff. “Give me two minutes to finish this and then I can come see.” JJ huffed and crossed her arms, sitting on her bed angrily.

Emily got on with her task then turned around to see angry Jj and couldn’t help but smile. Her little girl was a right sight when angry like this.

“Turn that frown upside down, come on. You can show me now,” Emily said and held out a hand.

“No wan to.” JJ kicked the carpet and huffed again.

“Well guess we can’t make the fort or pizza then!” Emily said in an exaggerated tone.

“Noooo, noo. We gotta!”

“Then go show me what you cleaned up then silly head,” Emily teased. JJ huffed but got up and stomped out the room. Emily laughed, chased after JJ and picked her up by the waist.

“And turn that frown upside down!” She laughed. JJ let out big giggles as she was raised into the air and back down again.

JJ got a gold star on her chart for listening and cleaning up her mess and they both washed their hands ready to make pizza. They had the dough already so they only had to put on the toppings.

“I gon make you,” JJ giggled and pointed at Emily. Emily got out the toppings and put them in small bowls across the counter, making it easier for JJ who was in the younger headspace. JJ stood by the counter, rocking on the balls of her feet and swaying from front to back. She was so excited, she couldn't contain it.

“I’m going to make you too,” Emily laughed and put JJ’s rolled out dough in front of her.

“You want to do the sauce or me do the sauce?” Emily asked, picking up the spoon.

“Hmm,” JJ thought and put a finger on her chin. “Jay do it.” She grabbed the spoon from Emily and carefully began spreading it across the pizza. Emily watched, making sure to catch any mess. The blonde was still rocking rhythmically but Emily was used to her stims.

“Well done princess!” Emily cheered once all the sauce was on. JJ giggled and clapped before turning to high five Emily.

“I sticker?” She asked, beaming from ear to ear.

“You don't’ get a sticker on your chart for putting sauce on your pizza silly,” Emily laughed.

“Oh,” JJ huffed and lowered her head.

“Maybe if you’re super good girl for the rest of the night, we can put one on before bed - okay?”

“Okay Emmy!” JJ cheered.

“Good girl,” she kissed the side of JJ’s head, “Cheese time.” Emily grabbed a handful of grated and put it in her mouth, making JJ gasp.

“EMMY! It mean go on pizza not in you mouth!”

“Is it? Oooooh,” Emily brushed her hair from her face and laughed.

“Silly Emmy,” JJ muttered and put the cheese onto the pizza, spreading it nicely.

“You’re so precious with it baby,” Emily told her, putting her own sauce and cheese on in the time JJ was spreading out hers.

“Got be perfect cus cus I making you Emmy,” JJ whispered. “An you perfect.”

“Jayyy,” Emily cooed and wrapped her arms around her girlfriend. “You’re pretty perfect yourself munchkin.”

JJ shook her head and pointed to Emilly’s pizza, “that messy.”

“Yeah well you are messy,” Email teased and JJ huffed.

They got the pizzas in the oven and began making the fort. JJ grabbed the blankets and pillows whilst Emily worked on the structure using the dining room chairs and cushions from the sofa.

“Emmy can we sleep here night?” JJ asked, rubbing her eyes.

“Oh is my princess getting tired?” Emily asked, wrapping her arms around JJ.

“Nu uh, can we just though?”

“We’ll see, are you ready to put the pillows in?” Emily replied. She stroked JJ’s hair and kissed her temple. JJ nodded softly and crawled under the large blanket resting on top, acting as the roof.

“There we go,” Emily smiled as JJ began setting up the pillows. Emily had made it big enough for them to sit up in and eat in but not really sleep in and Emily knew, with JJ already getting tired, it’d only be a matter of time until a tantrum happened.

The pizza’s were done just as JJ put the fairy lights on the fort. She really went all out, Emily sat and watched as her girl worked and got more and more tired but did it anyway.

“Let me grab the food baby, you get cosy and all ready for me, okay?” Emily suggested. JJ nodded and crawled into the fort.

JJ set up the movie tangled on the laptop in the fort. Then, she laid down for a second whilst she waited and yawned. She loved her forts, they made her feel safe and protected and so so special. She loved that Emily made them with her too. Emilly made her feel safe.

“Knock, knock, pizza delivery,” Emily said from outside. JJ giggled and opened the ‘door’ to the tent, letting Emily in.

“Pizzzza,” JJ cheered. Emily had put a side of cheetos on her plate as well as some salad to make it a more substantial meal. JJ loved salad so didn’t mind, she instantly began crunching the lettuce.

Once pizza was finished, they had their ice cream and cuddled in the fort. Emily sat with JJ between her legs as the credits of Rapunzel rolled on their laptop screen.

“I tired Emmy,” JJ whispered, rubbing her eyes.

“Let’s go to bed then baby, we gotta get you changed and teeth brushed and wash your face,” Emily listed and JJ whined shaking her head.

“Yeah, we have to baby,” Emily pouted.

“Nooo, no wan to,” JJ whined. Emily knew she was just overtired.

“Sweetheart, we have to go get ready for bed.”

“Wan sleep here!” JJ stropped.

“Okay, let’s make a deal,” Emily said and held JJ’s hands. “We go get ready, all nicely now and be good and then come back down and sleep in the fort?” Emily knew she could sacrifice her sleep for one night to make JJ happy.

“Pomise Emmy?”

“I promise princess, let’s go.”

Twenty minutes later, both women were washed and ready for bed. JJ was practically asleep walking down the stairs back to the fort. Emily grabbed a few more extra pillows to keep them comfier and JJ just snuggled straight into Emily when she laid down - using her as a pillow.

“Emmy,” JJ whispered, looking up at her gently.

“One second baby girl,” Emily whispered, knowing JJ wanted to nurse.

“Emmmy,” JJ whined again, nudging Emily’s boob.

“I know, I know,” Emily chuckled and moved so she could free her boob for JJ. Almost instantly the smaller girl took her nipple in her mouth to suckle on it like a pacifier. This was JJ’s favourite thing in the whole world - nursing. She’d never stop if she could but she got embarrassed at the thought outside the younger headspace so kept it to then, when she was super tired and needed that comfort. And right now, being so tired, it was all she needed.

Emily stroked the blonde's hair and kissed the top of her head as she nursed from her chest. Emily loved the feeling too, the sweet, nonsexual, intimate moment with her little girl who just deserved all the love in the world. It was the most special to her.

JJ was asleep in minutes and Emily wasn’t long after. It had been a sweet night for them both, one filled with healing and love and laughter, like most days and nights JJ was in this headspace. It was what the younger woman needed, what the younger woman craved and Emily was there to love her through it all.

summer games

jj’s little play group holds some summer sports games

obviously jj and emily become super competitive

“Jay! It’s time to go baby, come on,” Emily shouted, grabbing the car keys.

“Coming mama!” JJ shouted back from the living room. She skipped out of the room with her bunny in her hand.

“Bunny stays here angel,” Emily said gently.

“Oh please mamaaaa, I leave her in car,” she whispered softly, fluttering her eyelashes at the older woman.

“Hm, okay fine. Come on then!”

Emily and JJ were off to their little’s playgroup today. This was a small group, with only about 6 littles in it, but it was JJ’s happy place. Luke was in it too, with his caregiver Garcia. JJ loved going every other week. When she missed it because of work - she got really upset. Today, was their summer games! Emily and JJ, being super competitive were very excited to win all the games.

They arrived and JJ skipped up to her little friend, Elle. They wrapped their arms around each other and gave each other big cheek kisses as usual.

“Me an mama gone beat you so hard!” JJ teased and Emily laughed, wrapping her arm around JJ’s shoulders.

“Let's not be cheeky,” she warned gently but Elle smiled widely.

“Nuh uh.. Me an dada are going to win the mostest!”

Once everyone arrived, the teams got dressed in their colours. JJ and Emily went with purple. First up was the egg and spoon race - nice and simple.

“I got dis mama, I gon do super good!” JJ said gently, jumping up and down in front of Emily.

“Okay, you got this. A nice steady hand and fast walk yeah - like holding the gun,” Emily giggled. JJ gasped and covered her mouth, giggling quietly.

“I not gon shoot anyone with the egg mama!”

“You might need to if you’re losing,” Emily teased and JJ fell into more laughter.

“To the starting lines!” Danielle, the group leader bellowed. JJ kissed her mama quickly before running towards the purple stripe on the grass. She was handed her spoon and then her egg which she made sure was perfectly balanced before positioning the spoon correctly in her hands.

“That’s my girl,” Emily cheered from the sidelines and a wide smile spread on JJ’s face.

“I so gon beat you,” Elle giggled in her green t-shirt from beside the blonde.

“Nuh uh,” JJ giggled back.

“I gon beat you bofs!” Meg cheered.

“On your marks!” Danielle cheered. Emily watched as JJ wiggled her bum in anticipation.

“Go!”

Instantly, all the little ones set off. JJ, of course, was first. Elle wasn’t far behind. Megs fell to the back but being the youngest it was expected. Jordan was nearly catching up to Elle. Luke was third. The caregivers stood on the sidelines, cheering on their little ones.

“Come on Jay! Quick!” Emily chanted as JJ was about to cross the line. She came first with Elle just behind her.

“And first place goes to JJ!” Danielle announced and JJ jumped with joy. She dropped the egg and spoon, jumping into Emily’s arms.

“I did it, Mama!” She screeched.

“I knew you could baby!” Emily praised, giving JJ a big, sloppy kiss on the cheek.

The next race was a caregiver race. The sack race. They decided to let the caregivers do this one to avoid injuries to the little ones. Emily climbed into her purple sack, just beside Gideon and Kate who were in their own sacks.

“You’re going down old man,” Emily sneered, sticking her tongue out at Gideon.

“Oh don’t try me, Prentiss,” he laughed and shook his head, sending a wink over to Elle.

“I’ll have you know, I’m going to win for my boy!” Garcia mumbled from the end of the line.

“Yeah, yeah,” Kate rolled her eyes. “Good luck losers.”

The race began and all the caregivers began their sort of hopping/ jumping towards the finish line. There were lots of ‘mamas’ and ‘dadas’ being shouted from the overcompetitive little ones. JJ was feral, however.

“Go! Go! Go mama!” she screamed in a deep voice, clapping Emily along. Kate was first though, Emily not far behind. “Mama you got to win!” JJ continued. “I beeve in you!”

Emily, feeling empowered by her baby’s words, jumped harder. Then few more jumps and she crossed the finish line just before Kate did. However, in a sack, Emily fell face-first into the grass.

“Mama! You did it!” JJ praised, running up to Emily who was sprawled on the ground. She’d rolled herself onto her back and looked up as the blonde-haired beauty appeared in front of the sun.

“I knew you could do it, mama,” JJ giggled, leaning down to kiss Emily on the head.

“Thank you, baby,” Emily smiled.

“Now get up, it my race gain!” JJ laughed as she ran off in the direction of the little ones.

Next, was the obstacle course. The little ones had to hop on some spots, spin around the poles and do some skips on the skipping rope before balancing for three seconds on the balance beam and running back to the beginning.

“You got this my baby!” Emily said to JJ softly, rubbing her shoulders as she stood at the starting line.

“I total got this mama,” JJ repeated.

Of course, JJ won again. She was the most athletic of all the littles and she flaunted that.

Next was another caregiver's game. They had to see who would jump rope the longest.

“Okay mama, you have to bounce bounce bounce - yeah?” JJ advised.

“Bounce - got it!” Emily laughed, cupping JJ’s cheeks.

“You got this my mama,” she said softly as Emily went to the skipping rope lying on the ground.

Emily won with Garcia close behind her.

“Mama!” JJ cheered again, jumping onto Emily’s back with glee. Emily laughed and held her girl close to her, soaking up the excited and sweet JJ she was receiving. There was something so pure about her little one being so free and innocent. She loved seeing her Jay like this, rather than built up with all her anger. “You the bestest,” JJ whispered, wrapping her arms securely around Emily’s shoulders and resting her head on Emily’s head.

The games all continued and JJ and Emily came first in every single one. JJ had stayed with the same enthusiasm and joy throughout the entire day but her winning streak was beginning to give her a big head.

“I win you lose,” she chanted to Luke during their lunch break. Luke made a foul face before stomping off. Emily sighed then, just as JJ turned to do the same to Elle and Megs.

“Jay,” Emily said softly, calling her girl over.

“Comin mama!” JJ cheered, skipping over to Emily. Emily was sitting on the grass and JJ sat at the side of her, leaning her head on Emily’s shoulder. Emily passed her her sippy cup which she gratefully accepted and then Emily began the slow, quiet lecture.

“You’ve done a really good job winning all the games today, angel. Mama is super proud of you,” she began. JJ giggled and nodded.

“I poud you mama,” she replied, kissing Emily’s shoulder. Em smiled before wrapping an arm around JJ’s waist, bringing her closer.

“You’ve done so well Jay but mama is going to ask you something, just once okay?” Jay looked up at Emily, furrowing her eyebrows. “When you win, I don’t want you to be cheeky and mean to the other people that didn’t win. It’s okay having some laughs with them, telling them you’re going to win but sometimes you have to take other people’s emotions into consideration with what you say to them.”

“Mama it just tease,” JJ tried to interject.

“Ah. I know some of it is but when you tell them that they’ve lost that upsets their feelings,” Emily replied.

“It doesn’t,” JJ argued.

Emily sighed, “Sweetheart, I don’t want to argue with you. You’ve had such a good day, all I’m saying is that you need to be nicer to your friends.”

“I is nice,” JJ huffed, crossing her arms.

“Just be careful what you’re saying to people, my love,” Emily whispered, pulling JJ closer to her.

The last race was a rally running race between everyone! Emily was going first and then JJ was to take the baton and finish it.

“We’ve got this baby!” Emily said happily, giving JJ big high-fives.

“We got this mama!” There was no doubt that JJ was the fastest in the BAU so never mind her little’s playgroup.

“On your marks!” Danielle announced. Everyone ran to their spots and Emily threw the baton between her two hands. JJ stood in position, ready to take the baton.

“Get set!”

“Go!” The first set of people began running and Emily went halfway around the track. She wasn’t first, with Jordan in front of her but she didn’t mind as she knew JJ would out run anyone. Emily reached JJ and handed her the baton. JJ set off immediately but in the next second, Luke crashed into her side.

JJ toppled to the side, falling hard on her hip and bagning the side of her head on the track. Not having enough time to stop, Elle came tumbling over JJ, kicking her in the back in the progress. Immediately, cries echoed around the track and the race stopped.

“Whoa!” Emily shouted, heading to JJ’s side. She helped Luke off the floor, who had tumbled onto JJ and she scampered around to see her little’s face. Her head was bleeding and she was crying in pain.

“Okay baby, can you sit up for me?” Emily whispered gently. JJ cried more and more people crowded around. Thankfully, Jj managed to roll onto her back, her head was really the biggest concern.

“Can you hear me baby?” Emily asked, stroking JJ’s cheek. JJ nodded. “How many fingers have I got up?” She asked again.

“Three,” JJ replied, sobbing to herself.

“Good girl, you’re okay,” Emily whispered, stroking her back. Danielle arrived with the first aid kit then, opening it up and taking out an antiseptic wipe.

“No no,” JJ cried as it touched her head, she moved away from it and closer to Emily.

“We’ve got to clean it up baby, it might have sand it in,” Emily sighed, wrapping her arms around JJ.

“Mama,” JJ sobbed into her mama’s chest. Emily held JJ’s head still whilst Danielle got to work on cleaning it. JJ cried more but stayed still, knowing it needed doing.

“Good girl, you’re doing so well,” EMily praised, kissing JJ’s head and stroking her back.

“It’s just a graze really, it will most likely bruise though,” Danielle said. “She’ll probably get a bump but she’ll be okay.”

“See you’ll be okay my love,” Emily whispered, rocking JJ in her arms, trying to calm down her cries. “Mama’s got you, it’s okay.”

Once JJ was up standing and off the track, the race began again. JJ didn’t want to run this time, feeling sorry for herself. She stood on the sidelines, scuffing her feet on the grass. She’d asked to go home, embarrassed but Emily and Danielle had asked her to stay for the awards at the end. They just had to finish this race and then they’ll get them. JJ and Emily had won the most points so were getting the top prize but they were doing participation pirizes too.

“We go sit down mama?” JJ whispered, turning to Emily.

“We can go sit down, you okay?”

“It hurt,” she sighed, tapping her head.

“I’ll get you some painkillers when we’re back in the car angel,” Emily said gently, kissing the uninjured side of JJ’s head. JJ nodded. Emily sat in the grass and JJ sat inbetween her legs, leaning back into her mama. Emily wrapped her arms tightly around JJ’s waist, holding her baby girl close.

“The biggest smile prize today goes to Jordan!” Danielle announced. Jordan smiled and ran up to get her trophy before taking a bow and accepting the claps and cheers.

“The best boy today goes to Luke!” Danielle announced and Garcia cheered louder than everyone else as Luke ran up to receive his trophy.

“The best sport today goes to Megs!”

“The loudest cheerer today goes to Elle!”

“And finally, last but not least, the one with the most points today - who out did everyone incredibly and worked super hard to do so… the best of the day prize goes to JJ.” JJ slowly got up from her mama’s arms and walked up towards the podium. She took a big bow before taking her trophy and running back to Emily, sheepishly.

“I’m so proud of you today baby,” Emily said gently as they climbed into the car.

“Fan woo,” she mumbled, snuggling up with ehr teddy.

“Nap time?”

“Mhm, go long way.”

Emily chuckled and headed out of the car park, ready to take the long way home whilst her baby got some much needed rest. Emily really was so unbelievably proud of her girl. She’d done incredible today.

more little jj headcanons <3

just some cute jj headcanons of her in her different headspaces <3 (do we want a little jj au book? I think so)

age 2-5

♡︎ at this age, JJ is often quiet, reserved and keeps herself to herself

♡︎ she often wants cuddles but won’t ask for them. it’s very much up to the caregiver to notice the signs and engage that contact

♡ she won’t eat much, mainly soft foods such as noodles, mash, ice cream etc. she loves her bottles though, and will usually pick them over anything else

︎♡︎ she loves to nap! loves to sleep and cuddle up with her caregiver watching her cartoons wrapped in a blanket with her teddies, paci and bottle

♡︎ she doesn’t speak much, using her body language or facial expressions as a huge give away for her caregiver

♡︎ due to her reserved nature and lack of communication, pull ups in this age range are a must! she won’t argue about it as she is able to stay quiet but she definitely whines and gets fussy when she’s had an accident

age 5-8

︎♡︎ at this age, jj is so cheeky. she loves to make jokes, often being mean but loves to make people laugh

♡ she has an abundance of energy, always wanting to play, dance, sing, go to the park - everything !

︎♡︎ her caregiver always has to make sure they’re channeling her energy the best they can to ensure she’s not getting into too much trouble.

♡︎ however, when in trouble, she’s a menace. she’ll cry, kick, scream and throw the mightiest tantrums over the smallest things

♡︎ her eating habits are a little better but she is particularly fussy about temperatures and textures. she doesn’t like things touching or other people being near her whilst she eats

♡︎ her bathroom abilities are a little more controlled but when overcome with excitement or distracted by how much fun she is having, accidents are common. this causes a LOT of upset and stress from herself and for the caregiver

age 9-13

♡︎ this age is the hardest for everyone. it’s the time when life at home was at its worst and the time she lost roslyn

♡︎ her emotions are often all over the place and this is reflected in complete upset. the slightest thing reduces her to a breakdown

♡︎ she suffers severely from self harm and excluding herself. she will hide out, go completely mute

♡︎ it is very hard to communicate with her and she needs constant supervision to make sure she is safe.

♡︎ she hardly eats or drinks and it’s up to her caregiver to get her to shower or bathe.

♡︎ she’ll flinch at any loud noises and hates raised voices or arguing

age 13-17

♡︎ jj in this headspace is the most difficult to understand, communicate with and look after. she is constantly angry, violent, fighting, swearing and getting into all sort of trouble

♡ she is hurting so much inside and her self harm has continued but more in a smoking, drugs and alcohol way

♡︎ she needs constant reassurance and love yet pushes everyone away. she hardly talks to any one unless it’s with attitude and she fights as much as possible

♡︎ she hates crying in front of people and will never show any emotion other than anger (if she does, it’s usually a sign of regressing smaller)

♡︎ her violence is extreme and there’s been a couple of cases where her caregiver has had to pick her up from the police station

♡︎ she’ll make reckless decisions, craving to feel any sort of emotions.

late night phone calls

back with another little!reader and cg!willifer because it cures me

everyone also loved the last one !

reminder that requests are open, pls send them to my inbox :)) love you all lots

it was late at night and you couldn’t sleep. you had come out of your headspace earlier in the day and had settled yourself down for bed. now, Will was fast asleep in his own bed and you felt guilty. he’d been busy with work recently so you didn’t want to disturb his sleep. JJ was out of town working a case.

you sat on the front porch, looking up at the night sky. it was chilly, but you weren’t shivering. you had your mama’s big coat on. it smelt like her and it wrapped around you so tightly. you missed her a lot when she was away, more than you’d ever admit. some days were harder than others.

what you loved most about your relationship with JJ was she was your caregiver and best friend all in one. that was how it all started, you were best friends and she knew about the regression. when she met Will and realised they were both infertile, they lost all hope until you regressed around the pair for the first time. ever since then, you’d been their little baby. their angel. but no matter what, when not in your headspace, you were still JJ’s best friend and she didn’t see you any less.

sighing, you sent her a text. it was a small ‘hey’, mainly just to start up a conversation. you wanted her badly, big or little. almost immediately, your phone began ringing. it was a facetime request and you smiled, picking up.

“hello you,” she cooed down the phone.

“hi,” you replied, rubbing your eyes. yes, she was your best friend but you were tired and just the sound of your caregivers voice wanted to make you slip.

“what you doing up? isn’t it like 3am?” she asked. she didn’t use her mama voice, seeing you weren’t regressed which you appreciated. you both knew that being small now, when outside and alone, wouldn’t help things.

“Will is fast asleep and i was awake watching a movie for a while then just needed some fresh air. how’s the case?”

“it’s okay. everyone’s resting now.”

you carried on the small talk until a big yawn escaped your small body. your entire body stretched out, feeling the exhaustion of the day come over you.

“why don’t you head inside?” jj said softly. you nodded, that was a good idea. “don’t forget to lock the door.”

you headed inside and slipped off her coat. you saw her smile widely as she realised it was hers. you blushed and hurried up the stairs to your bedroom.

“you in your pjs?” she asked, her mama voice was coming out more now and you needed it.

“no yet,” you whispered down the phone.

“get them on then love. have you brushed your teeth?”

JJ talked you through your nighttime routine at 3am and you sighed, feeling the regression really take over you. you slid to the bathroom floor after you’d had a wee, done your teeth and washed your face.

“go crawl into bed my little love,” JJ whispered, tired herself.

“mama,” you whined.

“go crawl into dada’s bed then baby,” she chuckled - reading your mind. you smiled and nodded. you wanted cuddles with your dada.

you pushed open his bedroom door and turned the camera round so your mama could see his drooling face. she giggled.

“get under the covers carefully love, don’t wake him up.”

“what bout cuddles ma?” you grumbled.

“cuddle him carefully, he’ll probably snuggle up to you in your sleep princess.” she was getting more tired now. with the darkness around you both, sleep was inevitable.

“mama!” you groaned loudly as you tried to get comfortable.

“hey hey, you’re okay,” she murmured. “shuffle around, deep breaths. mama’s here.”

just hearing her voice settled you and you soon got comfy.

“close them eyes little one,” your mama said. you did so and then felt your dada’s strong arms pull you close to him.

“i’ve got her jay,” dada said into the phone.

“thank you baby, you give each other extra big cuddles for me.” she was on the brink of sleep herself. you rolled over and curled into your dada.

“night mama i loves wo,” you muttered down the phone softly.

“goodnight angel, i love you so much.”

“goodnight my love, i love you.” Will said to her too.

“goodnight baby. i love you too.”

the three of you fell asleep together. although your mama was at the other side of the country, it still felt so comforting hearing her soft breaths at the other end of the phone. you could see strands of her blonde hair in the soft light too and you couldn’t wait to have it tangled around your fingers again. you snuggled closer to your dada in your sleep, clinging to him and he held you tighter.

you loved your little family more than anything.

sick

poorly jj with no mama around

requested on twitter !!

“Penny,” JJ whimpered softly as her stomach turned.

“One second, honey,” Garcia replied, tapping away at her keyboards but JJ didn’t have a second. Before either of them could react, JJ had been sick all over her blankets and toys and Garcia gasped. The smaller girl began to cry, only wanting her mama’s company. Her mama’s company which she couldn’t have.

“Oh Jay,” Garcia mumbled before hurrying into action. She grabbed the young girl and moved her away from the mess before taking off her t-shirt which was also covered.

“Mama,” JJ only whined, rubbing her eyes. All morning she’d been extremely fussy and tired and the team had a case. It was only in the next state so Emily trusted that JJ would be okay with Penelope for a few days and if she was drastically needed, she could come home quickly. However, none of them knew JJ was sick.

“I’ll get mama in a minute sweetheart,” Garcia reassured.

“Mama,” JJ continued to cry as Garcia scooped up the toys and mess and moved it to one side. She called down a cleaning lady before wrapping her fluffy, multicoloured cardigan around the shivering girl sitting on the desk. “Mama,” JJ cried again. She put her head on Garcia’s shoulder, feeling extra small and tiny.

“This is why you’ve been so fussy hm,” Garcia mumbled, rubbing JJ’s back gently. “Let me call your mama.” The phone rang a few times and then Emily’s tired voice came through.

“Prentiss,” she answered.

“Emily!” Penelope said as JJ snuggled in further to the older woman. “We have a slight issue.”

“What’s she done?” Emily sighed. Garcia chuckled a little, finding it cute that her mama instantly thought she’d been up to mischief when in fact she’d been as good as gold.

“No no, she’s been good. She’s just been sick… like everywhere,” Garica grimaced, looking around her office.

“You’re joking,” Emily sighed. Garcia could picture her touching the bridge of her nose through the tone of her voice and she sighed too.

“Mama no joke,” JJ whimpered down the phone. At the sound of her baby’s soft, poor voice, Emily felt guilty. Guilty for leaving her girl behind, guilty for not knowing she was poorly and guilty for not being able to back any time soon. The case now involved the kidnapping of a 7-year-old boy so the team had to be all hands on deck.

“Oh baby,” Emily whispered down the phone. “Do you still feel poorly?”

“Mama home,” JJ replied, wrapping her fist around Penelope’s t-shirt and wiping her wet eyes with it.

“Mama’s working right now angel but I’ll be home when I can,” Emily said to her gently hoping not to upset her too much.

“Mama home now,” the regressed girl cried and began to sob into Garcia’s cardigan. Just then, there was a commotion on Emily’s end of the line.

“Penelope I have to go. Try and get her down for a nap or head home if she’s really bad,” Emily quickly said and hung up. At the sound of the line going dead, JJ sobbed harder into Garcia’s shoulder, only wanting her mama.

“Oh my sugar,” Penelope mumbled, rubbing JJ’s back. Her cries mellowed out pretty quickly, purely due to her exhaustion but now she was fighting sleep, only wanting her mama. Garica had moved from her office, which needed a deep clean, to Emily’s office where they had more of JJ’s things. Garcia sat on the floor, tapping away at her laptop when she could whilst JJ sat between her legs, desperately trying to stay awake. Her Ipad lay on her lap as she tapped away on it softly. She whimpered occasionally and rubbed her belly, really not feeling good but hoping and praying her mama would be back soon. She feared that if she slept, her mama would come and go!

“Would you not like to nap?” Garcia asked her softly, putting some hair behind her ear.

“Nooo,” JJ whined, throwing back her head, sick of the question. “Mama.”

“Okay, okay. We can wait for Mama,” Penelope said, only wrapping her arms around the girl tighter. “I love you, little lady.”

Of course, with how sick she felt and how tired she was, the warm embrace and soft, quiet cartoons on her iPad - and the gentle rocking motion Garcia fell into, JJ was asleep within half an hour. Thankfully, Emily was also home before sunset. Knowing her girl was asleep, she snuck into her office and thanked Garcia majorly.

“She was only sick once, no temperature. I’m not sure what it was but it seems to have passed already,” Garcia lets Emily know.

“That’s all good, is your office okay?”

Garica laughed lightly, being cautious not to disturb the sleeping girl on her chest. “It is but I’m not sure if all of her toys are salvageable.” Emily shrugged, JJ had plenty of them and she had no doubt Garcia would buy her more anyway.

“Do you want to try to lay her down and head home? I’ve got some repo-” JJ began to stir and wiggle and Emily rolled her eyes. Typical. However, she had missed her baby and she knew when JJ was sick, reports could wait.

“Mama,” Jj instantly cried out, realising she was still in the same place. Her head threw back and she went to wail but when she saw her mama sitting behind her - a large smile on her face, she was quick to scramble out of Penelope’s arms.

“Mama!” She gasped, practically jumping into Emily’s arms.

“Hi baby,” Emily chuckled, holding JJ close. Subtly, she felt the back of her neck and sighed with relief.

“Mama went so long,” JJ whined, settling into Emily’s lap and beginning to play with her necklace.

“I was super long but I’m here now,” Emily replied.

“Forever,” JJ whispered. She wrapped her arms around Emily’s neck and hung onto her like a sloth.

super undies !!

a super cute little!jj x cg!emily

penelope garcia cameo !!

jj wants to show off her new undies to penny but someone walks in

“JJ! Are you ready to go love?” Emily asked, shouting through the house.

“Almost!” JJ replied. She quickly grabbed her snacks and headed towards the door.

“Come on Jay, any slower,” Emily smirked and motioned out the open door.

“I cominggg!” JJ whined and ran through the front door and over to the car.

Hotch had given the team the morning off due to the late landing last night so Emily and JJ had spent the morning in bed. JJ insisted they watch cartoons and then have a bath but Emily didn’t mind. She knew JJ was wavering between headspaces today but also knew she didn’t have a lot of work to do so she’d be okay. She just had all her fingers crossed there wasn’t going to be a case.

“We listen music?” JJ asked softly from the passenger seat.

“Hm I’m not sure,” Emily teased.

“Whyyy?” JJ pouted, throwing back her head.

“Because I don’t really feel like listening to head shoulders, knees and toes!” Emily laughed. JJ huffed and crossed her arms.

“I’m not that small!”

Emily shot her a smile and turned on the radio. “I know sweet. I’m just teasing.”

“You not funny,” JJ groaned and turned away from Emily.

“Oh come on baby!”

But JJ was stubborn and she didn’t find the joke funny. For the rest of the ride, she stayed turned towards the window, ignoring Emily’s pleas.

“We’re here, come on,” Emily said as they pulled up.

“I know I see dat mama,” JJ grumbled, taking off her belt but Emily put her hand on JJ’s. The younger girl, who had now slipped further in her stubbornness, looked at her caregiver with her ‘evil eyes’.

“Lose the attitude. I was only messing. I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings but we’re going to have a good day - okay?”

JJ huffed again before getting out of the car and heading towards the doors. Emily rolled her eyes and sighed, getting out and grabbing both their bags.

They got into the elevator and Emily turned to her little one again.

“Sweetheart, are you going to be grumpy all day?”

“I not wo friend,” JJ replied, crossing her arms again.

“Why not?”

“You meanie. I going to spend day with Penny,” she mumbled.

“Okay, okay fine. Here’s your bag, you know where I am if you need me okay?” Emily said, handing JJ her bag as they got out of the lift.

“Mhms, not gonna need you though,” she mumbled and began walking away but Emily grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

“I love you,” she whispered, pulling her closer to her.

“Mamaaaaa,” JJ groaned, turning away but Emily hugged her tight.

“Say it back or the tickle monster will get you,” she whispered.

“Love you,” Jj squealed at the thought of being tickled. Emily let her go and JJ scurried off to Penelope’s office.

Emily entered the bullpen and sighed seeing Garcia stood in there. The team turned to her, confused on where JJ was.

“No blondie?” Derek asked before Emily got the chance to say anything. She set her bag down and shook her head.

“Blondie is grumpy because I made a joke in the car,” she said softly. “She’s gone to find you, Penelope.”

“Oh!” Garcia laughed. “I guess I better go then! See you later guys.” She left the bullpen and rounded the corner just as JJ entered via the top room. The team didn’t notice JJ at first as she crept down the stairs. They began chatting about their nights/mornings and JJ slid into Emily’s chair. She put her fingers on her lips when Spencer saw her and he tried hard to hold back a laugh.

As Emily went to sit, she gasped feeling the younger girl underneath her. She jumped up and screeched as the rest of the team, including JJ burst out laughing.

“Jay!” Emily groaned, realising who the mysterious chair was. “What are you doing missy!”

“Mama your face,” JJ cried, still curled over in laughter.

“You are so cheeky,” Emily laughed, grabbing her little one.

Five minutes later, after the group had calmed down, JJ skipped off back to Garcia’s office. No longer in a serious grump with Emily but still wanting to hang out with her best mate. She also had a surprise for her!

She got to the door and knocked quickly but didn’t wait for a response.

“Pennnnny,” she chimed happily as she skipped in.

“There’s my sweet little sugar plum!” Penelope giggled and opened her arms. JJ crashed into her, attacking her in a hug.

“Penny I gots show yo somefin,” JJ said quickly, scrambling back to her feet.

“Ooh - what is it?” Penelope teased. JJ smiled and quickly pulled down her leggings, revealing her underwear covered in superheroes.

“Look! They super!” And did a twirl. Garcia burst out laughing at the little one's antics.

“They sure are super baby-” But what none of them anticipated was Kevin walking in just as JJ wiggled her bum to show them off more. Penelope gasped and JJ scurried to pull up her pants again. But her cheeks were hot and tears were in her eyes and it made her want to curl up and sob in her mama. Kevin covered his eyes in a haste and Garcia helped the little one with her pants but as soon as they were up, JJ ran from the room, a sob escaping her. She didn’t even bother shutting the door behind her like she is supposed to.

She ran to the bathroom. She didn’t want to see her mama, still grumpy with her. She slid to the floor and cried heavily into her knees. The embarrassment. Hardly even in her headspace any longer, she just felt like a huge hole should appear so it can swallow her up and she never has to face anyone ever again.

“Whatever happened to knocking you absolute feverish silly goose head!” Garica exclaimed. She was angry at Kevin. She hit him with the file in his hand a few times before walking out to find the sobbing blonde. She went to the bullpen, expecting to see JJ in her mama’s arms but stopped, confused, when she saw Emily laughing with the boys. Emily saw her and furrowed her eyebrows. Garcia motioned for Emily to follow and Emily got up quickly.

“What's going on? Where’s Jay?”

“I thought she’d be with you! She ran off from my office.”

“Ran off? Why?”

Garcia sheepishly explained the situation and Emily couldn’t help but laugh at the comical side of it. JJ had been so excited to show Penelope her superhero underwear, both blondes being fans of marvel comics and the films. But now it didn’t go as planned.

“She’ll be in the bathroom,” Emily said and headed in that direction. Garcia followed. As they opened the door they could hear the crying and it broke Emily in half. She hated hearing JJ cry.

“JJ, open the door for mama,” Emily said to the only closed cubicle.

“N-not small,” JJ choked out through her sobs and Emily knew that made it worse as the embarrassment was with her as an adult not a child.

“Sweetheart open the door, it’s okay.”

“D-don’t need you,” JJ whimpered. “Meanie head.”

Emily smiled slightly, despite the situation. She was wavering on headspaces and she was thankful, she could get JJ to slip easier now, hopefully for a nap and she won’t be so grumpy when she wakes up.

“She says, not listening to mama. Open the door meanie head.”

“I not one!” JJ stomped from behind the door.

“You’re not?” Emily gasped.

“No,” JJ sniffled.

“Well you’re going to have to open the door for me to check it’s a JJ head not a meanie head.” The door unlatched and JJ opened it. She was sniffling but still shook her head.

“See mama? JJ head no meanie head.”

Emily smiled a little more and went into the cubicle, leaning in front of her little girl.

“Silly mama, thought you had a meanie head on,” she whispered and grabbed some tissue to softly wipe her away her baby’s lingering tears. “Now, you want to tell mama what got you so upset?”

“I not ‘set,” JJ sniffled.

“Hey, them tears and runny nose tell me otherwise. Talk to mama baby, what’s going on?”

JJ took a big breath, sighing. She felt rubbish and her cheeks grew red again as she tried to explain what happened to Emily.

“So Kevin saw your undies?” Emily asked, trying to hold back her smile.

“An my bum bum shake mama!” JJ gasped, like it was the most atrocious thing in the world. Emily laughed, she couldn’t not.

“He saw your bum bum shake? Your cute little bum bum?” Emily asked and JJ huffed, crossing her arms.

“It no cute! It barrassin-”

“I know baby but it’s a little funny. Plus it’s only Kevin. Aunt Penny’s boyyyyfriend,” she teased and Gaarcia hit her onthe back of the head gently. JJ tried not to smile.

“No fair.”

“I know baby, mama knows but he’ll probably forget by tomorrow! You know what Kevin is like he’s the silliest head of us all.”

JJ really tried not to laugh at that, she really did.

“That’s right JJ, one time, he even forgot to wear his undies!” Garica announced ot the pair. JJ laughed then, covering her mouth and letting out little giggles.

“Really?”

“Yeah! At least you’ve got them on and I bet he’s jealous at how super they are!” JJ smiled more and pulled her pants down, showing Emily and Garcia her undies again.

“They are super undies!”

“They are!” Emily and Garcia agreed.

The rest of the day went on as JJ told every single person she spoke to about her super undies. Thankfully, it was only her team so no more embarrassment. And she didn’t see Kevin again, as he was jealous and was cooped up in his office for the rest of the day, buying his own superhero undies.

set in season one riding the lightning

JJ whimpered as the team filed into the cars. She wanted to ride with Elle. She really, really wanted to ride with Elle. Elle knew. Elle knew what was going to happen. JJ supposed it’d be best not to ride home with Elle actually because then it might happen in front of the team. She couldn’t let it happen in front of the team. Elle was away with Derek, so she couldn’t ride with her, even if she wanted to.

“Hey you,” she heard Hotch whisper from behind her as his hand met the curve of her back. She turned her head slightly, looking up at him with, big, scared, Bambi eyes.

“Come,” he muttered and took hold of her hand. She whimpered but followed him behind the SUV so no one could see them. JJ trembled as she stood in front of Hotch. It had been an emotionally draining case for them all and Hotch was so unbelievably proud of how she went face-to-face with Jacob. They hadn’t had the chance to discuss it yet but her quietness, the way she kept herself to the corner, since coming out of his cell, meant she was clearly distressed. She just didn’t want to show it during the case.

“I’m so proud of you,” he whispered, taking her into his arms. JJ sighed heavily and let Hotch’s strong arms wrap around her. “You did such a good job, Princess,” he added.

“Thank you,” JJ whimpered back, letting her hands cover her face as she buried herself into Hotch’s hold.

“Elle?” JJ whispered, looking up at Hotch after a few minutes.

“She’ll meet us back at the office and then she’ll take you home. Is that okay?” he asked, moving some hair from her face. JJ only nodded, blinking back her tears. Hotch grabbed her bag from the trunk of the car before getting out her headphones and placing them gently on her head.

“It’s late,” he said softly. “You should rest, in the passenger seat, hm?” JJ nodded and Hotch opened the car door for her. She climbed in and got her seatbelt on. Garcia got into the back and Spencer and Gideon got into the other car.

They got back to the BAU office and Hotch shook JJ awake gently as Elle approached the car. Garcia hopped out, saying her quick goodbyes to everyone before going to her car. As soon as Elle opened the passenger door, JJ regressed. She reached for Elle, clinging to her t-shirt and Elle grabbed her small girl, caressing her back.

“Oh I’ve got you sweet girl,” Elle mumbled, kissing JJ’s head before helping her out of the car.

“Keep an extra eye on her tonight, Elle,” Hotch said gently.

“I will do. Thank you, have a nice evening.”

Back at home, JJ was just as clingy.

“How about a bath my love?” Elle suggested, caressing JJ’s hair. “You loveeeee your baths. We can even put your crayons in there!” JJ shook her head, burying it further into Elle. “what about a shower?”

“Nooo,” JJ whined, just cuddling further into Elle.

“Okay love, bedtime it is then.” JJ nodded and began heading up the stairs, dragging Elle with her. Elle went into her room and JJ followed quickly and grabbed her special case from under the bed. She opened it with haste then whipped out her onesies and blankets, looking for one thing in particular. However, she couldn't find it. She let out an almighty cry and threw her head back. However, in the distress, she didn’t anticipate the bedside table and the surging pain through the back of her head caused another scream.

“Jay!” Elle cried, running round. JJ was sobbing into her legs, clutching at her head with heavy tears flooding her face.

“Oh baby,” Elle said, bringing JJ into her arms.

“Ow,” she cried, trying to cuddle into Elle.

“Let me look baby, let ma help.” Elle moved her hands and JJ continued to cry in Elle’s shoulder. “It’s not cut baby, it’s just going to bruise and maybe bump. Shall we go get you some ice?” JJ nodded, still sobbing her little heart out. Elle sighed, picked up her baby and together they headed downstairs. Jay cried into Elle’s hair, gripping her Ma like her life depended on it.

“It’s okay Princess, you’re okay.”

Elle sat JJ on the counter and grabbed her a kitten icepack out of the freezer, sometimes it’s used when she’s super small and she needs something cold to chew on but it worked wonders as an icepack too. She wrapped it in a thin cloth and handed it to her girl.

“You hold it, baby,” she whispered to Jay, lifted her hand up to hold it in place and JJ did so, whimpering still. Elle quickly worked around the kitchen, making her princess up a bottle and then grabbing a warm wipe to help calm her down. She moved between JJ’s legs and JJ sniffled, watching her ma intently. Elle was gentle with her hands and moved some of JJ’s hair from her face.

“You’re okay,” she whispered. “Deep breaths.” She wiped her tears and her nose.

“It hurt,” JJ whimpered, moving the icepack but Elle guided it back.

“It will darling, I’ll get you some medicine in a minute. Can you tell me what made you so upset?”

“Ros gone,” she shrugged as a whole new set of tears began.

“Ros? Your teddy?” JJ had a small, Winnie the Pooh bear, which was her sister's. She didn’t cuddle with it all the time, she didn’t need to but on certain days - that was all she wanted but she couldn’t find it in her suitcase.

“Did you forget we washed it?” Elle asked, reaching into the ‘washed’ basket of things and handing it to JJ. Jay instantly gasped, dropped her icepack and wrapped her arms around her Ros. Elle giggled as JJ wiped her tears with the bear and began muttering to it softly- as she always does.

Once her bottle was made up, Elle put some dissolvable painkillers in there before picking up her girl and heading back up to bed. She got JJ changed as she lay on the bed, drinking her bottle softly. As JJ climbed under the covers, Elle got herself changed and then grabbed them a book to read. The Snail and the Whale. Not even three pages in, JJ was fast asleep cuddled into Elle’s side. Elle grabbed a picture before sending it to Hotch as a reassurance that his girl was okay after the challenging day. Elle had taken good care of her. As always.
