Friday Morning

"Hey, Garcia, do you think that you could do me a favor?" JJ walked into Garcia's office with a pleading look on her face.

Garcia spun around in her chair. "Of course, Jayje! I live to serve!"

"This is completely last minute, but… Well, Will and I have to drive to Pennsylvania for a friend's wedding this weekend, and our babysitter just backed out, so-."

"Say no more, my spunky blonde friend. I would be honored to fulfill my duty as Fairy Godmother!" Garcia looked as if Christmas had come early.

JJ, however, still was not smiling. "Are you sure? We have to leave Saturday morning, and won't get back until Sunday night."

Garcia's smile grew wider. "All the better! I can finally spend some quality time with my favorite Godson."

JJ's face broke into a smile of relief. "Thanks so much, Garcia! You have no idea how much this would be helping us out."

"Believe me, Honey, it's no trouble at all. If it makes you feel better, I'll see if Henry's Godfather is also available this weekend. Two hands are better than one."

"Thanks again, Garcia. Here's the time that we'll be leaving tomorrow, so if you could just come to our house a little before then, so I can show you where everything is." She borrowed one of Garcia's pens and wrote down the time.

"Ten Forty-Five AM? Can do." Garcia smiled again. "Come, now. Let's tell Bob Genius what he's in for this weekend."

…

"Hey! Fairy Godfather!" Garcia called out to Reid. It took him a moment, but he eventually turned around.

"Excuse me?" Confusion was written all over his face.

"You heard me. The lovely JJ here has a problem: Her babysitter bailed for this weekend, leaving poor Henry alone and unguided."

Reid was starting to get a little suspicious. "That's unfortunate. I'm sorry, JJ."

"See, Reid, the thing is that I've already volunteered you and I to step in as babysitters, so that JJ and Will can attend their wedding."

"Woah, um…wow. Congratulations! That's so…I hope, uh…"

JJ stepped in. "Um, no, Spence, it's not my wedding; we're going to our friend's."

Spencer went slightly pink. "Oh, uh, sorry. Um, wait. You want me to babysit Henry…with Garcia?"

"If it isn't too much trouble…"

"Um, don't you think that you should ask someone a little more experienced? I've never really babysat anyone before."

"Please, Spence? If not for me or Garcia, then will you do it for Henry?"

Reid blushed a shade darker at JJ's mention of herself. "Um, I guess I could. Just let me know the times, okay?"

Garcia smiled. "Thanks, Sugar. I knew that you'd come through for us. See you tomorrow!" And on that note, JJ and Garcia turned and began walking away.

"Tomorrow? Wait! Garcia! I can't! Its Star Wars weekend on one channel and a Harry Potter weekend on another! I was planning on watching them after reading-."

He continued to shout after them, even long after you could hear their laughter fading as they continued out of sight.

Saturday, 10:10 AM

Garcia knocked on the door of JJ and Will's house.

Inside, JJ ran downstairs while putting on earrings. She opened the door to find a smiling Garcia on the other side.

"Good morning, JJ! Is the Junior G-Man here yet?"

"Nope, you're the first one. Come on in, and I can show you were everything is once Spencer gets here. Will is almost ready."

Penelope stepped inside. JJ bade her to sit, and handed her a cup of coffee. JJ sat down also and they began to talk.

Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. JJ opened it to find a blushing Spencer.

He stammered out a greeting, and began to explain his lateness very quickly: "I'm so sorry that I'm late. You know, it is a relatively cold day for September, usually the average temperature is about 68.1 degrees Fahrenheit with about 3.5 inches of precipitation. Today, it is only about 64.2 degrees Fahrenheit with the expected high to be no higher than 65.3 degrees Fahrenheit. I wanted to wear my purple scarf, but I couldn't find it in my closet, which is the exact place that I always put it when I'm not wearing it. It was so strange that I-oh, sorry." Reid stopped talking abruptly after receiving a look from JJ.

"Its fine, Spence. We still have a couple of minutes before Will and I need to leave. Would you like some coffee?"

"Uh, yeah, that would be great, thanks." He gave a small smile as JJ handed him a mug full of the steamy liquid.

"Okay, so Garcia, Reid, it should be pretty simple. Henry is upstairs sleeping right now, and he can be woken up around eleven. I wrote down everything that he should eat for which meals, and the food is kept in the fridge. I also put down some instructions on how to prepare it. You can give him a bottle in the morning after breakfast, and in the evening about twenty minutes before his bedtime, which is seven o'clock. If he wakes up during the middle of the night, you can just pat his back, and he usually falls back to sleep. If not, try reading him a book. You two can sleep in Will and I's room or the guest room. Oh, and Henry loves to watch Sesame Street, so if all else fails, you can put that on. And you can take him for a walk, if he gets antsy-the stroller is in the garage. I think that's just about everything."

"Don't worry, JJ. Reid and I can handle it. Henry will be fine, enjoy the wedding."

JJ still looked a little skeptical, but smiled anyway. "Alright. I trust you guys, but if anything goes wrong, don't hesitate to call."

"You got it, mon amie. Now go. Have fun. All is well here." Garcia started to usher JJ and Will towards the front door.

JJ looked back. "Um, Spence, are you feeling okay?"

Reid looked rather pale and slightly terrified at the thought of being alone with Garcia and a small child. He always tried to shy away from anything that involved babysitting. He managed to choke out a small "I'm fine. Have fun," but JJ still looked a little anxious as they walked to the car.

"Remember, you can call if something happens. It really wouldn't be a big deal to-."

"JJ. Please get in the car now and drive away before I feel the need to drive you to the wedding myself."

JJ gave a small laugh. "Okay, Garcia. Good luck, you two, and thanks again for doing this."

Garcia and Reid both accepted the thanks at the same time, and waved as JJ and Will drove away.

"Okay, Cupcake, what do you say that you and I go check on the little angel? He should probably wake up soon."

Almost as soon as the words were out of her mouth, the sound of crying permeated the air.

"Looks like he's awake. Ready to babysit, Dr. Reid?"

Author's Note

I apologize for the long gap between story updates. It may sound strange, but now that school is back in session, I should have more time to post.

I'd like to send a shout out to the person who stole Spencer's scarf and told me to update soon. By the way, he's still looking for it…

Thanks for reading!

Love, Me
