What do you want from me? - Rehab

Before today JJ thought Reid just didn't want to visit his mother, she honestly never thought the reason he didn't go see her was because he was afraid of becoming like her. He was afraid of developing Schizophrenia, and when she asked him about it he'd gotten devensive, asking "JJ what do you want from me? Everyone can't be as brave as you are." At first she'd been angry at his snappy response, but then she'd realized that she'd be afraid if it was her so she simply just held him as he finally let go of the tears of uncertainty he'd been keeping in all these years.

Ladies and Gentlemen- Saliva

For their anniversary Reid had decided to recreate their first date, complete with tickets to a Redskins game. He memorized all the rules to the game the week before and called Emily to help him set everything up so he could surprise JJ. And she had been surprised with dinner at the same restaurant that they had gone to the first time and he'd even managed to get the same seats they had had on their first date as well. But it was his turn to be surprised when she grabbed his face and kissed him just as the announcer started "Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to FedEx field..."

Secret Agent Man- Johnny Rivers

Reid had always been the brains and never the brawn when it came to cases. He'd never even been undercover in his whole career with the bureau. So when Hotch decided that he and JJ were going to be the couple to go undercover in Club Domino where they thought the unsub was picking his victim's from Reid was a mixture of suprised and nervous. He was so nervous that he pulled out his ipod to try and listen to music to calm himself down and that's when one of his favorite songs started playing and Reid knew that he and JJ were going to be just fine undercover. "There's a man who leads a life of danger...To everyone he meets he stays a stranger...With every move he makes another chance he takes...Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow...Secret Agent Man..."

Everyone Like Me- Thousand Foot Krutch

JJ always thought she and Reid were so different. They'd grown up in completely different worlds, and completely different sides of the country. It wasn't until she met Diana Reid that she realized that she had been wrong. They had both grown up with 'loving' parents, but parents who had their problems. They both had also spent their whole childhoods wishing to be anywhere but exactly where they were. So even if he was from Las Vegas and she was from East Allegany it didn't matter, JJ was just glad that she finally had someone who would understand that life with a neglectful father and a mother who was sick, his with schizophrenia and her's with alcoholism, was never easy.

Whatever Happened- The Strokes

For the past five months it seemed like the BAU had been on cases back to back without even the slightest break in between, and the whole time JJ had barely even seen her husband. It always seemed that Reid was out in the field or back in Quantico with Garcia working on the geographical profile because their daughter was sick. So when they landed at the airport and she drove home she was excited to see his car in the driveway. As soon as she opened the front door she noticed the rose petals leading her up the stairs, so she followed them up, and once she reached the top she found a note in Reid's unruly scrawl.

"JJ,

Emma is over at Garcia and Morgan's for the night so we have the next tweleve hours to do whatever we want. I left something for you to wear on the bed, get dressed, and meet me out in the back yard in half an hour.

Love,

Spence"

JJ was so curious to figure out what he had planned that she was ready and dressed in the flowy black dress and strappy sandals that he'd laid out for her in less than twenty minutes so she decided to go on outside and see what he was up to. She was so taken aback when she opened the door to the patio and saw the white lights he had strung up, the candles floating in the pool, and the blanket he had laid out with a picnic that she almost forgot how to breathe. It wasn't until she felt his lips on hers that she began to breathe again and when he pulled back she whispered "God I love you Spencer Reid" before claiming his lips again.

Takin off this pain- Aston Shepard

Everyone knew Will had his affairs, even JJ, but she chose to ignore it for their daughter Abbey's sake. It wasn't until she found out that Abbey had acutally walked in on Will and another woman that she'd finally decided it was over and left him. She just took of her ring and left it on the counter, grabbed a few things, and took Abbey and loaded her into the car planning to drive until her head was clear again, but the thing that made all this worse was that Will wasn't even trying to get her to stay with him. And when she and Abbey left he was still trying to button his pants and trying to get his 'friend' to stay. She thought about heading over to Garcia's, but when she asked her daughter who she wanted to stay the night with she was immediately met with "Uncle Spence mommy! Uncle Spencer, please?" Wiping her tears she nodded and turned onto the highway and drove the twenty minutes to Reid's house. When she pulled up in the drive way, unbuckled Abbey, and made he way to the door he opened it before she could even knock, as if sensing she was there, and at that moment she knew she was home. She and Abbey belonged to Spencer and he belonged to them.

Falls Apart- Thousand Foot Krutch

Reid knew that his relationship with Lila was never a sure thing. He always knew in the back of his mind that it was going to fall apart, but that didn't make it hurt any less when it happened. She had told him that she just couldn't date someone who was all the way in D.C. when she lived in LA, but he had the sneaking suspicion that she was with someone else on the side anyways. She always seemed to get mysterious phone calls and text messages when they were together, and after reading them or talking to the person on the other line she would almost always have to 'go meet with her agent'. "Yea right, who meets with their agent at three am?" Reid thought sulkily as he sat down on the couch on the plane ride back from their latest case. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even hear JJ sit down beside him.

"Spence what's up? Why do you look so upset?"

"Oh it's nothing...just thinking about the case."

She knew he was lying, even without being a profiler, but she decided not to push it. "Oh okay well do you wanna go out to dinner when we get back? My treat."

"Ummm...Sure JJ." He said extremely surprised at her offer and his mood immediately lightened.

Fairy Tale- Sara Baresilles

Five year old Stephanie Reid's favorite thing to do was play princess and she always had fun when she and mommy and Aunt Emily and Aunt Penelope when and got their nails painted and went shopping. She even loved it when her daddy and Uncle Derek came with them shopping because then she could have daddy play the king and mommy play the queen while Uncle Derek played her prince. So one day when she and mommy and Aunt Penelope and were out getting their nails painted she decided to tell them her secret.

"Hey mommy guess what."

"What sweetie?"

"Uncle Derek said he'd be my boyfriend. Don't tell daddy!" Stephanie wispered loudly.

"Uh oh Pen, it seems you have a little competition."

"What do you mean Jayje?

"Derek told Steph he'd be her boyfriend."

"Well he did always like younger women" Garcia giggled "But Steph you should know that he snores really, really loudly."

"Really? Like daddy?"

"Nope louder."

"Uh...ok Aunt Penelope you can keep him. I really hate it when daddy snores!"

JJ and Garcia just laughed.

Irene- Toby Mac

JJ was always so good with the victim's and their families and that was something Reid loved about her. They had been working a case in Birmingham, Alabama, where the unsub was killing single mothers who had no other family except their children when they'd found Izzy. She was in her high chair, untouched, when they'd raided her mother's apartment only to find Irene, the mother, dead and Izzy in the high chair wailing. As soon as the apartment was cleared JJ picked Izzy up and the baby had immediately calmed down and went to sleep. JJ held her the entire time they processed the scene too, claiming it was the least she could do since the little girl had no one else left in the world. So when Reid finally got a break he decided to talk to JJ who was sitting on the worn sofa.

"Hey JJ. How's she doing?"

"Good I think considering. She's still sleeping though, you don't think the unsub gave her something that would knock her out like this do you?"

"No I think she's ok. I mean she'd been in here alone for over 12 hours when we got here so she's probably just tired."

"Oh ok good. What do you think is going to happen to her? I mean she doesn't have any family or anything so are they going to put her in the system?"

"Well that's what I wanted to talk to you about."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you think about taking her home with us?"

"Really? You mean like as a foster child? "

"Actually I was thinking something a little more permanent JJ. I was thinking about seeing if you wanted to see if we could adopt her."

With tears in her eyes JJ leaned in and kissed her husband "Spencer Reid I think that is a great idea."

Reid just smiled "Well I wouldn't want to split you two up. Looks like Izzy is pretty taken with you JJ, just like I am."

Fairwell to the Old Me- Dar Williams

JJ thought that when she and Will split up that would be the end of her. She thought her heart would be forever broken, forever shattered. She was now a single mom of two boys who had no family nearby and a job that required her to travel for weeks at a time. So she decided to leave the kids with Emily and Hotch for the night so they could play with Jack and David while she went to the nearest bar and bought herself the strongest whiskey they had and tried to work out her problems. She was on her third shot when she felt someone slid in on the stool beside her and she was about to turn and tell whoever it was to leave her alone, when she smelt that familiar coffee and soap smell that was essentially Spencer Reid.

"How'd you find me?"

"Emily called me and said you looked pretty upset when you dropped off Sam and Charlie. So I decided that you might need a friend."

"Well she's right I am upset. I mean how's a girl supposed to feel when she finds out her husband has been cheating on her their entire marriage?"

"I don't know JJ, but I don't think you're going to find what your looking for in that bottle of whiskey."

"Oh yea why's that?"

"I never found it there or in the diludad either. The darkeness doesn't have any answers Jenn, at least not any of the answers your looking for."

"I should've known that you'd remember my favorite nickname. Everyone always assumes that it's JJ, but it's not. I like Jenn because..."

"You're grandmother used to call you that."

"Yea" JJ said as she laughed a little through the tears "Hey Spence?"

"Yea?"

"Let's get out of here. Let's go do something crazy and fun and something that will get my mind off my cheating ex husband."

"You know I here they're having an all night horror movie fest tonight at the theater down from my house. What do you say?"

"I say...that sounds like just the thing I need right now. But first I wanna ride the ferry."

"Okay why?"

"So I can say fairwell to the old me, the me who put up with the lies and the drinking because I was afraid of being alone" JJ said removing her wedding ring "I wanna throw this in the Potomac and say goodbye to that me forever. I think I lost myself when I married Will, but you know what?"

"What Jenn?"

"I think I'm going to be just fine and so are Sam and Charlie."

"Yea how do you know?"

"I know because we have something special. We have you Spence. Not many friends would drive all over town looking for their friend in some bar or give up their entire saturday night to cheer their friend up. Thanks for being there Spence. You're my best friend."

"I wouldn't be anywhere else Jenn. You and the boys are my best friends too."
