By: Daisyangel
Pairing: JJ/Will
Rating: PG-13
Summary: JJ and Will put Henry to bed on Christmas eve.***
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night," JJ said finishing the story and closing the book.
"Again," Henry begged.
"No, it's time for bed, little man. Remember Santa will only come if good little boys and girls are in their beds fast asleep," Will reminded the six-year-old.
"Okay, Daddy, but we gotsta put out the milk and cookies for Santa first," Henry reminded him.
"We have to," his mother gently corrected him. Henry nodded and ran for the plate of cookies he and JJ had made and decorated that afternoon.
"Will you help me get the milk, Mommy? It's really heavy," Henry called. JJ laughed as she headed for the kitchen but was stopped when Will placed a hand on her arm.
"I love you," he whispered before kissing her quickly.
"I love you to," she said kissing him back before going to help Henry with the milk.

Five minutes later she had just finished tucking their little boy into bed.
"Goodnight, baby boy. Daddy and I love you so much," she whispered brushing some hair out of his eyes.
"Night, Mommy, love you," he mumbled as he drifted off to sleep his favorite bear tucked closed to him. Placing one last kiss on his baby soft cheek, she stood up and made her way back down stairs ready to finish putting together the last of Henry's presents from Santa.

"Figured you could use this," Will commented as he handed her a glass of eggnog once they'd finished putting together and wrapping the last of the gifts.
"Thanks," she said gratefully taking a sip.
"He's really excited, huh?" Will commented.
"He sure is," the media liaison agreed. Will glanced at the tree and frowned.
"Hmm," he murmured thoughtfully.
"What is it?" JJ questioned.
"I'm not sure, something about the tree doesn't look right. What do you think?" he asked. She didn't see what Will was talking about but she got up and walked over to the tree anyway.
"What's wrong with it?" she asked when she stood in front of it.
"I'm not sure, but that branch next to Henry's 'babies first Christmas's ornament looks bent. Can you fix it?" he asked. Nodding, the agent reached out to fix the branch and stopped when something shiny caught her eye. Taking a closer look she saw that it was a diamond ring. One hand came up to cover her mouth while the other removed the ring from the tree using the ribbon Will had hung it with. Turning around she saw Will in front of her down on one knee.
"Will you marry me, JJ?" Will asked nervously.
"Yes!" she cried jumping into his arms knocking them both over. Once she'd calmed down slightly he pushed her back and slid the ring on her finger.
"Perfect," he whispered.
"Yes it is," JJ agreed breathlessly.
"It's midnight, Merry Christmas, sweetheart," Will said as he kissed his fiancé on the lips before taking her hand and guiding them to their bedroom so they could continue to celebrate their engagement.
Finished!
