"Damn it, this hurts. Will you stop laughing, JJ? It's not funny," David Rossi grumbled as he struggled to get comfortable in the ER room he found himself in.

"I'm sorry, but you have to admit, it's kind of funny," she said giggling once again. Dave just glared and shifted on to his side trying to ease the pain of his backside.

"Love you, Papa," Henry said sweetly from the chair he was sitting in. No matter how much pain he was in, hearing that little boy call him Papa made him smile. Will had been killed in the line of duty two years before when Henry was three and he'd been there to help JJ and Henry pick up the pieces. The first time Henry had called him Papa brought tears to his eyes. Henry had explained that his Daddy was in heaven now and he didn't want to forget him, but since Dave had just married his mommy that made him Henry's new daddy, and he thought it would be a good idea to call him Papa as long as Dave agreed to it, which he did completely.

"Love you to, kiddo," he said with an attempt at a smile that looked more like a grimace. Just then there was a knock on the partially open room door.

"Hey there, Jayje, Rossi, what's going on? All I got was your message to meet you hear and asking me to take Henry back to your house. What happened is everything okay?" Morgan asked as he entered the room. His eyes traveled to Rossi and he frowned in concern. Before the adults could speak up, Henry did.

"Papa Gots a boo-boo," the little blonde boy explained.

"Oh, does he now? Where is his boo-boo little man?" Morgan asked tickling Henry gently.

"It's on his bottom," the young boy answered. Morgan gave a confused look to JJ who tried to suppress a smile.

"So, what happened?" he asked again.

"Well…" JJ began drawing it out.

"Jennifer," Rossi growled.

"Okay, okay, no sense of humor about it. Henry had been begging us to go sledding all day and we finally agreed to go to the park and take him sledding. Well he asked Dave to go on the big hill with him. It started out okay, but when they were almost at the bottom the sled went out of control and they both flew into the air. Henry managed to land in a soft bank of snow and didn't get a scratch," JJ began.

"I on the other hand landed on my ass on the ice. I think I broke my tailbone," Rossi finished miserably. Morgan burst out laughing and it took a moment before he regained control.

"Oh man, wait til Garcia hears about this," he laughed. Rossi just groaned. He knew he would be the butt of all the team's jokes for a while, no pun intended he thought wryly.

"So can you take Henry home so I can stay here with him until the doctor sees him and gives him whatever he can for the pain and such?" JJ requested.

"You got it, Blondie. Come on, kiddo, let's grab your coat and head out. Maybe you'd like to stop for some Hot Chocolate?" Morgan asked.

"Yeah, can I Mommy, please?" Henry begged jumping up and down.

"Sure, as long as you let me help you zip up your coat and you wear your scarf and mittens both," she instructed.

"I will, thank you, Mommy. Love you," Henry said giving her a hug after she'd zipped up his coat and made sure his scarf, hood, and mittens were all on.

"Say bye to Papa before we go," Morgan told him.

"Bye Papa, if you're good for the doctor, maybe he'll give you a sticker," Henry said as he kissed Dave's cheek.

"Maybe he will, you be good for Uncle Morgan and I'll see you when I get home okay?"

"Okay, bye, Mommy, bye, Papa," Henry called as he grabbed Morgan's hand and the two of them headed for the exit and the promised Hot Chocolate.

"You're assumption was correct, Agent Rossi, you do have a broken tailbone. The X-Rays confirmed it. I'm sending you home with a special pillow to sit on for the next few weeks and also a prescription for some pain killers. You can fill it at whatever pharmacy you wish," the doctor informed the couple as he walked into the room after looking at the FBI agent's X-Rays.

"Is that all you can do? It hurts like a bitch," Rossi griped.

"I'm sure it hurts a great deal, but unfortunately there's nothing we can really do for a broken tailbone. I'd advise you to take it easy the rest of the day and no quick movements for the next few days," the doctor instructed.

"Can he go to work tomorrow?" JJ questioned.

"Yes, and as much as it will hurt to stand and move, make sure you do so a couple times an hour so you don't give stiff and even more sore."

"I will, thank you, Doctor," Rossi said.

"You're welcome, and be careful on those sleds, they can be killer," the doctor said as he left the room passing the nurse with Rossi's discharge papers on the way. As he signed his discharge papers Rossi shook his head, he knew it was going to be a long few days especially knowing his team like he did.
