"JJ?" JJ heard her name being called and felt a small poke to her cheek. "JJ?"
"What, Spence?" JJ murmured, peeking her eyes open at the three year old.
"I went to look for some breakfast foods and I think we need to go grocery shopping because-"
"I know, Spence, after Henry leaves for school we are going shopping." JJ dug her face into the pillow.
"Really?"
"Yes, Spence, really."
"...JJ?"
"What Spence?"
"When does Henry leave for school?" Groan.
"He has to starting getting ready in half an hour. Go to sleep Spence."
"...JJ?"
"WHAT?"
"I can't sleep."

JJ rubbed tiredly at her eyes as Henry's bus sputtered off. Spence hadn't let her go back to sleep. At first it was just questions but then he had started rattling off facts about insomnia and other sleep related ailments. It made her want to bang her head against a wall. Spencer could most definetly talk now. The bus sputtered away and everything was quiet... for two seconds.
"JJ!" Spencer chirped, trotting up to her. "Is it grocery time yet?"
"Yeah, Spence, it's grocery time." JJ sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Hey, since I'm three, does that mean I get to sit in that little front seat in the grocery cart?" Spencer grinned at her, eyes sparkling with the idea of this prospect.
"Yeah, Spence. You sure do talk well for a three year old."
"I was very avanced."
"Well duh, go brush your hair and then can go."
"Okay!" Spencer trotted off but instead of walking into the bathroom he crashed into the wall.
"Glasses?"
"Glasses." Spencer grumbled, getting up and heading into the bathroom.
"I'll get them, try not to crash into anything else!" JJ said, jogging off and fetching the first pair of glasses before returning and perching them on his face. "Better?"
"Very." Spencer nodded.
"Spence, why didn't you tell me you couldn't see?"
"Well it's not so much as I CAN'T see as-"
"Spencer."
"Fine, I just... didn't want to bother you... especially after yesterday's mess..." Spencer shuffled one foor against the ground and looked up at her.
"It's fine Spencer, just... tell me that kind of stuff, okay?"
"Okay, now come on, lets go to the store."
##################################################################################
"Go faster!" Spencer laughed, sitting in the basket in the front of the cart. He knew it was childish but he liked sitting in the cart. It was like some sort of ride. This made his three yearold heart soar, even if his adult mind knew it was foolish.
"Spence, calm down." JJ snickered, shaking her head. Spencer was a ball of energy today. She just hope there wouldn't be any accidients.
"But it's fun." Spencer pouted.
"Too bad." JJ stuck her tongue out at him. They entered the frozen food isle.
"JJ! JJ, ice cream!" Spencer pionted to the gallons of ice cream.
"No, Spence."
"Come on, pleeeaaasseeeee?"
"No, Spencer." JJ said and Spencer felt his three yearold temper flaring up. Adult brain, child's temper, NOT good.
"Screw you!" Spencer cheeks puffed up in childish rage. "I'm a grown man, damn it, and I-!"
"SPENCER." JJ hissed through clenched teeth. "Shut up. Your attracting attension to yourself."
"But, JJ-"
"No buts, Spence, you need to behave. Your only a three yearold." JJ scolded, removing her hand. "One more stunt like that and I will spank you right in the middle of the isle."
"Fine..." Spencer pouted, crossing his arms.
"Good." They continued to shop around with minimal amount of trouble. Untill...
"OUCH! DAMN IT!" Spencer howled, grabbing where his hair had been pulled by the toddler in the next cart.
"Hey, watch your kid, lady." JJ glared at the mother of the child who had yanked on Spencer's hair.
"Watch MY kid? What about your kids mouth? What is he? Three?" The other woman glared.
"At least mine isn't a hair puller." JJ snorted before looking to Spencer. "Are you okay, Spence?"
"I'm okay." Spence nodded, rubbing his head.
"You need to control you kid, what is he, four? Spencer may be three but he is small and your kid is twice his size! Pulling on kid who is smaller then he is hair." JJ huffed.
"At least mine isn't a potty mouth!" The other woman fumed. This partern continued for a bit before security was called to break them up. JJ promptly checked out and left.
"Wow, JJ, I don't think I've ever seen you that mad." Spencer blinked at JJ as she lifted him from the cart and sat him on the ground.
"I guess I'm just tired."
"I'm sorry I got you in trouble."
"It's alright, Spence, that woman was an airhead anyway." JJ smiled and packed the groceries.
"Well I'm still sorry about my language. You know I don't normally curse but this a cursed body seems to have a raging temper and I-" Spencer started before being cut off.
"I understand, Spence, just get in the car." JJ demanded and Reid complied.

"Hi, Henry, how was school?" JJ asked as Henry walked back in the door.
"Good. We worked on our reading today." Henry smiled, trotting into the house.
"Sounds cool." Spencer grinned at him.
"It was. I'm the best reader in my class." Henry grinned back.
"Ah, taking after your godfather!" Spencer laughed and Henry giggled.
"Your both silly, go play." JJ waved at them.
"Can't I have a cookie?" Spencer asked, pointing at the box of chocolate chip cookies.
"No Spence, dinner is soon. You'll wreck your apetite."
"Please?"
"No."
"Come on, Spence, lets go play." Henry pulled Spencers arm.
"Yeah... yeah, alright." Reid nodded and followed Henry, taking one last glance at the cookie box.
##################################################################################
"Spencer." Reid heard JJ say his name sternly and he cringed. He knew this was coming.
"Yeah?"
"Why is the cookie box open?"
"..."
"SPENCER."
"Okay... I know you said no but... I was so hungry."
"Spencer." JJ sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "How many did you eat?"
"Um... ten?"
"You do realize your grounded, right?"
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Short chapter is short. And sorta lame. I was running a red hot zero for this chapter. Next chapter Spencer is grounded. I think he pushed JJ's buttons one too many times. Again, sorry about the lame chapter, I'll do better next chapter. Promise.
