First of all: I don't like calling this a "High school AU" because seriously, most of the time it's something annoying, so let's just say JJ and Reid are both still in High school and that's about it (clever, right?).
This is going to be my first Jencer multi-chapter story (most likely) and also my first "real" AU.
On another note: I had to adjust their ages (and probably background stories?) a little in order to make this plausible, I hope you're ok with that!
And now enjoy reading and feedback is lovely because it will tell me if I should continue this or if it will remain a one-shot!


When she knocks at the door of his house that night her heart is racing and she is fighting back the tears that threaten to fall down.

Within seconds he is at the door and is greeted with a heartbreaking sight and once she sees him the tears finally spill from her eyes. The first thing he notices is her bruised face and the scratches on her arms and hands and how her whole body is shaking.

"JJ" he exclaims, horrified. "What happened?" Without hesitation he shuffles her inside the house, not caring what his mother might say, at the moment he couldn't care less.

Closing the door behind them he settles down on his bed next to her since it's the only place to sit on in his room. Taking in her injuries he speaks up again. "Who did this to you?" But instead of answering his questions she spills out what she had to tell him first.

"I'm pregnant Spence." She sobs and for a moment he is paralyzed and can't think of a single thing to say. Her confession makes his world stop rotating but he knows he has to be there for her.

"Oh JJ." He finally brings out and opens his arms for her in an attempt to comfort her, to comfort them. They were both still in high school and had already planned out their future but right now everything seemed to spin out of control and he knew he had to take responsibility.

When her sobs finally subsided and were replace by small hiccups and asks her anew. "Who did all this to you?" She looks up at him and knows she has to tell him the truth.

"My dad. I told him about the pregnancy." Her voice breaks away and he understands what she wants to say without her finishing her explanation.

Her father had never approved of their relationship, the only thing he had always wanted from his daughter was to be a straight A student and focus on her career on not on boys.

The fact that her own father would do this to her made his stomach churn and he knew they had to find a solution for this.

"What are we going to do Spence?" She interrupts his thoughts and instinctively wraps her arm around her stomach.

"What do you want to do?" He asks her and for a moment she contemplates her answer.
"I want to keep this baby…but I can't do this alone." At this a few more tears made their way down her cheeks and he quickly wipes them away before intently looking into her eyes.

"You won't have to; this is my responsibility as well." Spencer's voice is calm and steady and puts her a little more at ease. Deep down she had known that he wouldn't back out of this but becoming parents at such a young age wouldn't be easy and she knew it would be challenging for both of them.
"Thank you." She whispers and snuggles further into her embrace and lets him tenderly stroke her unruly hair.

He didn't know what to expect throughout the next months or even years and to be quite honest he didn't feel anywhere near ready to be a father but it wasn't like he had a choice now. To him it was still a miracle that their relationship had worked out so well to this point even though he was such an introvert person and not very well in socializing with other people in school.

After a while he stops thinking about the future and comes back into the present again.
"You can't stay with your dad JJ." He states and she knows he is right but also doesn't know what to do about it.

"He will find me Spence, he will always come after me." She suddenly starts to shiver violently and he is barely able to calm her down again. Seeing what her father had done to her he knew she was probably right but he would find a way to keep her safe, he was a genius after all.

"Stay with me for the night and we will think about a solution tomorrow, ok?" A glance at the clock tells him that it is way past midnight and he senses that so much stress can't be good for her.

When she nods in reply he gets up and shuffles through his drawers to get her a shirt and sweatpants to sleep in and leaves for the bathroom to get something for her injuries.
He comes back when she is already changed and sits down next to her again to take care of her wounds and bruises.

At first she flinches when he carefully applies some balm to her bruises but soon relaxes knowing he won't harm her. Then he sprays some disinfectant onto her scratches and cleans them before bandaging one arm where deeper cuts were marring her skin. Finishing his work he tenderly kisses her forehead and pulls aside the covers for her to slip in. He notices how quiet she had gotten and lays down next to her to pull her into his arms.

"Are you ok?" The question seems so displaced but he nevertheless asks her in an attempt to get her to speak again.
"A little better now that I'm here." JJ quietly admits and snuggles even further into his embrace.

"How far along are you?" Of course he could count himself but hearing it from her would maybe make it a little more real.
"The doctor says around 10 weeks. I will have another check-up tomorrow." Her voice sounds thoughtful and she seems a little absentminded as she rubs small circles onto her stomach.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Spencer isn't too sure if she wants him to accompany her and so he insecurely asks her.
"That would be nice." JJ lets out a small sigh and closes her eyes to relax a little more.

For a moment silence envelops both of them and they both enjoy it no matter how difficult the situation was.
"We will get through this, you know that, right?" He tries to reassure her before he drifts off and when she hears his words she can't help but believe him because yes, with him she would get through this, no matter what.
