Thanks for the reviews and stuff :D It's appreciated

She had no idea where he'd gone. No-one had seen him for the last three days. He called Hotch to request some leave and then disappeared off the face of the earth. Henry had been asking about him and she'd lied to him. She seemed to be getting so much better at it now but seemed to be getting worse at holding it together. It was getting harder to smile or pretend that everything was ok, especially to Henry. What was she going to say to him if Spencer never came back to them? What would she do if she got some divorce papers through the mail one day, oh and how awkward and heart retching work would be? She couldn't live like that and see him everyday knowing that the basis of this argument was her fault. That said, the things that he'd said to her weren't her fault. That was his and it almost made her feel better about the situation, to lift the guilt, he couldn't love her and Henry as much as he said he did if he could look her in the eyes and say that stuff. He may have been hurt by what she'd done but that was no excuse for tearing her apart like that; for walking out on them. She didn't want to love him, she wanted to hate him but she couldn't.

"JJ?" Hotch asked. "JJ." The whole team minus Reid were sitting in the conference room waiting for her to brief them on the latest case. They'd all noticed how dazed she'd been over the last few days but then again why wouldn't she be? The girls had attempted to be objective about the situation to start off with but when he didn't go home and instead avoided everyone, it became difficult and they'd just become angry. The guys were the same. The whole team could understand why he'd been angry but after the young blonde had relayed their conversation they'd become a little less sympathetic towards him and more so for his wife. The Unit Chief intended to have words with the young man when he got back, someone needed to put him straight and it was going to be him.

"Right, er sorry." She smiled sheepishly before getting up and taking control. Momentarily, she stood there and wondered how she could do this job day in and day out, have to choose the most important cases out of so many. How she could present them to the team and then go and deal with grieving families. She'd wondered about how long she could do this job before it chewed her up and spat her out. Everyone had their breaking point, how long would it be before she reached hers? No, she couldn't leave her family but she couldn't see herself doing this job forever, it became so much more difficult after she'd given birth to Henry and it only got harder to leave him with every passing day. Hotch's concerned glance had her quickly starting the briefing. "Three women have been found dead in Philadelphia. All have had their throats cut and have been sexually assaulted." She stopped when her husband decided to make an appearance. He simply removed his bag, sat down and opened the case file. He didn't once look up at anybody despite shuffling uncomfortably under everyone's gaze. "Erm, yeah, they were sexually assaulted. The first victim, Charlotte Seams was 22 and there to visit her older sister. She never made it to her sister and was found three days later at the side of the road. The second victim, Sarah Charles, 23, lived in the area and was a waitress. She was found two days later outside the back of a restaurant. She had bruising around her neck, which occurred before her neck was cut. She also had burn marks on her arms and chest. The third was Jessica Banely. She was 21 and a student at a local University, she was a part time sales assistant. She was found five days later on her parent's front porch. Evidence showed that she'd been drowned but her cause of death was, again, her throat being cut. There were cuts, presumably by the knife, made to her body which had been burned as a method to close them up. She had the same burn marks as Sarah too. Abbie Lately, 22, has been missing for thirteen hours now and she looks similar to the other victims; brown eyes and hair, petite and they're all from middle-class backgrounds with boyfriends and two siblings." She risked a glance at Spencer, who refused to look at her or anyone else at all, before nodding to Hotch, indicating that she had finished.

"Ok, wheels up in thirty. Reid, can I talk to you for a minute?" Everyone had started to get up already but decided to look busy whilst watching the exchange between the unit chief and his subordinate.

"You say that as though I actually have a choice." He sighed and got up, knowing that Hotch was not happy with that comment. He could tell by the burning gaze he was sure he was receiving. It sure felt that way.

I'm not sure if I want the baby to be Spencer's or Will's yet , it's a really difficult decision

Anyway , thanks for reading and please review ? :-)
