A/N: Here we go! Chapter 7, the "Amplification" chapter. Not much to say before this one, so just enjoy. One quick thing, I realize that a certain part of this chapter (You'll know it when you see it) is likely unrealistic, but it worked and I really liked, so I apologize to all of you if it is truly unrealistic.

Anyway, on with the story! As usual, read, review, and enjoy!

May 13th, 2009 – Anthrax Case

Spencer pulled out his cell phone to call JJ. He's really screwed up this time by walking into a room filled with Anthrax. He might die any moment, so he needed to talk to her.

The phone rang a few times before she answered. "Spence, how's everything going on the case?" JJ had stayed at home and was working from there after realizing the danger Henry was in.

"JJ, I really screwed up this time. I accidently walked into a room filled with Anthrax. I most likely won't make it out."

"Spence, no," JJ said, her voice suddenly going solemn and terrified. "You're gonna survive. You'll amazingly find the cure and save yourself and the other victims."

"Garcia said the same thing," he chuckled. "Thanks for the reassuring, but I'm not so sure this time. Listen to me, if I don't survive, make sure that Henry knows I love him and that I really wish I got the chance to do everything a father should do with his son. Tell him that I died protecting him from the bad people and that he was the light in my darkness."

JJ felt the tears rolling down her cheeks. "Spence," she choked out through her tears.

"Can you put Henry on the phone? I want to talk to him one last time, if I don't make it."

JJ put the phone near Henry. "Henry," she choked through her tears. "Daddy's on the phone. Can you talk to him?"

Henry scooted closer to the phone. He began babbling into the phone for his father.

Spencer felt tears rolling down his cheeks when he heard his son. "Hey, buddy."

Henry babbled some more.

"Henry, I want you to know that I love you and that I wish I could always be there for you like a father should. I'm going to miss you buddy." Spencer let his tears fall.

"Da!" Henry suddenly screamed.

Spencer eyes grew once heard the word leave Henry's mouth. His son had just said his first word. It made his eyes water. "Yeah, Henry. It's Daddy."

"Da!"

JJ's eyes also widened at the sound of Henry speaking in English and not baby babbling. Her eyes suddenly starting watering.

"Bye Henry. I love you. Get the phone to mommy," Spencer told Henry.

Henry took the phone in his baby hands. "Ma! Da!"

JJ took the phone from her son's hands, her face still dripping with tears. "Spence. You're gonna make it. You have too."

"I'll do my best to come back to you and Henry. I love you, JJ."

JJ choked back a sob. "I love you too, Spence."

"I gotta go. Good-bye."

"Good-bye."

He hung up his phone. Seconds later, he broke down crying. He had to see them both again. He had to make it, so he could see Henry one more time. Hold him one last time. Hear him call him "Da" one more time. Hug JJ again. Make love to her again. He was determined to survive.

When JJ put down the phone, she too broke down in tears. Spencer had to survive. She couldn't live without him. She didn't want Henry to end up growing up like Spencer, without a father. She turned to her young son and picked him up and held him closely and tightly to her chest.

"I love you, baby boy. Daddy loves you too."

Spencer woke up to see Morgan eating what appeared to be Jell-O.

"Are you eating Jell-O?" he asked.

Morgan turned to his friend and smiled. "Welcome back." He turned to the hallway. "Hey doc, he's back."

"Is there anymore Jell-O?" Spencer asked.

Morgan and Dr. Kimura explained what had happened while he was unconscious. Hotch caught the UnSub, Chad Brown, and that the cure had saved the remaining survivors of the attack. They left him alone to rest for a few minutes.

Later that day, JJ stopped by the hospital holding Henry in his baby carrier. Spencer saw them walk near his room and nearly jumped out of his hospital bed to see them. It took all of his will power not to.

JJ walked into the room with Henry. She immediately set down the carrier and kissed Spencer as tears started rolling down her cheeks.

"I was so worried. I was afraid you wouldn't come back," she said through her tears.

"I was afraid too I assure you," he said.

"You're a hero Spence. You pretty much saved the entire capital."

"Thanks." He started hearing Henry grunting for his parents. "I think we're forgetting someone here."

JJ turned and took Henry out of his carrier and handed him to Spencer.

"Da!" Henry shrieked at the sight of his daddy. He started reaching out his baby hands for Daddy.

"Hey buddy. I missed you too." He hugged his little boy as tightly as he could. "I love you Henry." JJ teared up a little more and joined in the hug herself, unaware that Morgan was standing outside the room taking pictures with his phone. Garcia would need to see this moment.

Spencer was happy. His entire world was now in his arms.

And another one finished. What'd you think? Leave a review.

And next time:

Reid decides that the time to act is at hand.

What am I talking about? You'll see.

See you next time!
