JJ sat down on her couch with a sigh, running a hand through her hair. She had put on a brave smile and pretended to have fun at Rossi's house, but she really hadn't. Reid had acted friendly, but he still distanced himself from her and Emily. And it stung.

She wiped away a few tears, pulling her hair back into a loose pony tail before heading upstairs. She showered and changed before lying across her bed, starring at the fan. 'I should've told him,' She thought to herself, letting out a small sob.

"Mommy?" Henry crawled into bed beside her, curling up next to her.

"Hey buddy," Her voice was raspy and she tried to hide her tears from the 4 year old.

"What wrong mommy?" He kissed her cheek.

"Nothing little guy. What are you doing up?"

"Don't know. Hungry."

"The baby sitter did say you ate awfully early… Come on."

"No more sad?" He grinned as she picked him up.

"No, I'm not sad anymore."

JJ carried her son downstairs, trying to forget her own troubles. It was hard enough being a single parent, but she was a single parent in the FBI. She loved being a full time profiler, but she was afraid of the effects it would have on Henry.

"Want some spaghetti o's?"

"speggi ohs!" Henry giggled, making JJ laugh and kiss his cheek. He chatted randomly as JJ opened the pantry and pulled out a can.

JJ put the food on the stove then sighed as someone knocked on the door. "Who could that be?" She frowned, picking Henry up and turned the stove off.

She stood near the door, trying to see who it was. "Who is it?" She frowned.

"Who's it!" Henry repeated her.

"The boogie man," He sounded playful.

"Uh oh! Hide!" Henry clamped his hands over his eyes. JJ unlocked the door and couldn't resist smiling at Henry.

"I came for you," Spencer said in a goofy voice, tickling his sides.

"Stop it Red," Henry giggled.

"So I'm Red now?" He smiled at the little boy but it faded when he met JJ's gaze.

"What do you want Dr. Reid?" Her voice was cold, her eyes hurt.

"To talk."

"How ironic, I tried talking to you, all day. And the day before."

"Look JJ, I'm sorry. I was just-"

"Mad, feeling betrayed. Yeah, I've heard it Spencer. You know why we did it. We had to."

"I know it JJ, I just… I don't know." He raked a hand through his hair, sighing.

"Why did you come then?" She asked, gently pulling her hair from Henry's hand.

"You know I'm not good at this stuff," He sighed. "But I came to apologize. I know I've been a real Jack Ass."

"Jack-" JJ clamped her hand over his mouth before raising her eyebrows, fighting a grin. Spencer rarely cussed, and when he did he always sounded for formal. "I see. But don't say that Henry."

"Okay!" He giggled, monkeying around to her back to hang there.

"Please forgive me JJ? It's just that…Y-your my best friend. I just felt hurt. I think I was angry because it reminded me of Gideon leaving. I felt abandoned all over again. But it wasn't your fault. I was extremely rude. I was a real jerk. Morgan even told me, but I ignored him. I didn't know where to direct my anger so I turned it towards you, maybe because I turn to you with everything else. Did you know the brain-"
JJ cut him off with a well-timed kiss, ending his ranting.
"Spence, You're rambling," She said after they pulled apart. Spencer was red, his eyes wide.

"J-JJ!" He sounded shocked.

"Sorry, " She sighed. "I shouldn't have done that."

"N-no. It's ok." He swallowed before pulling her into another awkward kiss.

"Ewy," Henry covered his eyes with a giggle, ending the kiss. JJ laughed, giving the little boy a kiss.

"Can't forget Henry."

"Nope," Spencer grabbed the little boy, ticking his sides before blowing on his stomach. "I'm going to eat you!"

"No eat me," Henry giggled, climbing down before hiding behind JJ's legs.

"Darn." Spencer chuckled, ruffling his hair.

"How is it your great with kids, yet your awkward around me?"

"I don't know," He shrugged sheepishly.

"We'll just have to work on that," She smiled at him.

"I'd better get going so Henry can eat."

"Oh, crap. Right. Well, you can come by tomorrow, since we are off."

"Alright," He smiled. "Good night."

"Night Spence. Henry, can you tell Spence by?"

"Bye Red!" He giggled before running into the kitchen. JJ reached up and kissed Spencer before closing the door, a huge smile across her face.

"Mommy forgive Red?" Henry smiled.

"Yeah, Mommy forgives 'Red'," JJ laughed, kissing him with a loud pop.

"Mommy," Henry giggled. "We eat?"

"Yup. Come on big guy."

After Henry ate, JJ cleaned him up, shaking her head. He had managed to get sauce smeared from his chin to his eye, across his shirt, and down his arm. "Mommy's boy is a messy boy."

"Messy messy!" He giggled, blowing at the bubbles in the tub.
JJ knew it was late, but she cherished every minute she got to spend with Henry. Little moment's like this were what helped get her through the day.

"Yes, Messy." She smiled as she scooped up some bubbles, plopping them on his head. He giggled, blowing them at her.

"I get you mommy," he grinned, smearing some on her cheek.

"Oh no, I'm melting," She sat down on the ground before slumping over, hiding a grin.

"Mommy?" Henry frowned, poking her. "Mommy?" He sounded worried.

"Boo!" She sat up, tickling his ribs.

"Stop it," He giggled.

"OK big guy. Bed time." She pulled the stopper out, wrapping a towel around Henry as she picked him up. She looked through his closet, which was packed with clothes thanks to Garcia, and grabbed his
froggy pajamas.

"Froggy!" Henry grinned.

"Ribbit!" He giggled as JJ changed him. "Mommy?"

"Yes?" She ran the towel over his hair before brushing his teeth.

"Can I sweep with you?" He yawned, rubbing his eyes.

"Just for tonight." JJ smiled, almost relieved. She needed some comfort after that last case.
She carried him to her room, tucking him into bed before crawling in beside him. She flipped off the lamp and pulled him close, kissing his head. "Night buddy.I love you."

"Love you too," He said, kissing her cheek before drifting off.

JJ was about to fall asleep when he phone went off as it received several text messages. She sighed, sitting up, knowing it could be something important.

Morgan:
You and nerd boy huh?

Pen:
You,me,Em. Coffee. Tomorrow. Deeetttaaaiillls :D

Em:
So you and Reid are on "speaking terms?" :D

JJ shook her head, chuckling. She erased all the messages before texting Spencer.

Your dead

Spence-Why?

For having a big mouth.

Spence-Morgan made me tell! He was in my car.

Oh, geez. Snoops. But I'm going to sleep. Night Spence

Spence- Night :)

JJ turned the phone off with a smile, wrapping her arms around Henry before falling asleep, a smile still on her face.
