jennifer jareau is your mom, and oh how she adores you.

you were her first child and since you were turning 18 this year and going to college, she got in her feels.

it seemed as if 2 days ago you were 5 pounds and a miniature you was sleeping peacefully in her arms. now you were about to go off to college.

she loved all her kids, but she loved you just a little bit more. although she never told henry and micheal that.

since it was the end of your senior year, you started to send in your college essays and buy a bunch of essentials for college.

jennifer begged for you to not go far. she can’t live without her baby. not right now, not ever.

“why don’t you stay local? i mean, there’s a few good colleges on the other side of town.” she says, trying to change your mind once again.

“mom, i got good offers from other places. i can’t stay in d.c. forever.” you say, although your tone didn’t sound as if you really wanted to leave.

“i wish you never grew up.” jennifer mumbles and she places her hand on the counter, looking down at you and giving you a kiss on your forehead.

“if i could change you back to 5 years old where you never wanted to leave my side, i would do it in a heartbeat.” she adds and places her other hand on your back, soothingly rubbing your back sighing.

even if you were 17, you were always her baby. forever.
