Ch. 10 Game Day
Author's Note: Thank you so much for the reviews. This chapter is a little rough. The information in this chapter is from the last game of the season for the Redskins. I don't own Criminal Minds or the Washington Redskins. I hope you enjoy. The next chapter is called Sickness. Thank you again.

(JJ's point of view)
You got to love game day. My team is the Washington Redskins. They have had an amazing year. They even made the play offs. I felt like celebrating.
I had turned Henry into a Skins fan as well. Will is a Saints fan. I hated watching the Saints with him. If the Saints lost he'd be in a bad mood all night. Will also always rooted for the team going against the Skins.
Enough about Will. Anyway after the strange night at the bar I was worried about Spence. Even though I know he isn't a sports fan I thought it would e nice to hang out together. Spence seemed excited.
I was dressed in my RG3 jersey and black jeans. I threw my hair back into a ponytail. I had dressed Henry in his Alfred Morris jersey. Morris is Henry's favorite player. I quickly sat out some snacks. I really wanted Spence to have a good time.
Spence showed up early. To my surprise Spence was wearing Redskin colors. He had on a sweater and a turtle neck underneath it. He smiled as I looked him over. He hugged me.
Spence told me I looked really nice. I had to laugh. Henry came rushing down the stairs right at Spence. Henry was so excited to see him. He started telling Spence all about Morris, RG3, and the whole team.
Spence paid close attention to every word Henry said. I went and got us all drinks. I decided soda was safest after what happened at the bar. Spence sat down between Henry and I.
"RG3 is the Quarterback right?" Spence asked me.
"Yes and he is a Rookie." I explained.
"Henry said Morris is a rookie as well?" Spence asked.
"That is true. They are both incredible players." I answered.
"That means they are both new players to the NFL?" Spence asked.
"Yes it does." I answered glad he was interested.
The Seahawks were a tough team. And RG3 didn't seem his normal self. Then the worst happened RG3 tore his ACL and LCL. Spence quickly explained to Henry where he was hurt and what could be done. Not only had the season ended but, RG3 was now facing surgery. Hopefully he'd be able to come back at the beginning of next season.
"I never truly realized how emotional football is for the player, coaches, and even the fans." Spence said.
"Mom can we play the wii?" Henry asked.
"Sure how about we bowl?" I suggested knowing Henry and I needed a distraction from the game.
"You mean you can bowl on a video game?" Spence asked strangely.
"It's fun Uncle Spence." Henry said as he helped Spence create a character and showed him how to play. It was amusing watching my five year old teaching a genius something.
Spence quickly picked up how to play. The scores for bowling were me at 270, Spence ended up at 250, and Henry got 200. Henry then beat me in basketball. Then Spence beat me in tennis. I ended up beating both Spence and Henry in soccer.
We needed up ordering pizza for dinner. Then we all sat and watched Franken Weenie. It was one of Henry's favorite movies. As the movie ended Henry fell asleep.
"I should get home." Spence said.
"Can you stay a little longer?" I asked not wanting him to leave yet.
"Okay I can do that. Would you like me to carry Henry upstairs?" Spence asked.
"No I'm fine. Just hang out here and I'll be right back." I said.
I hurried and put Henry into his bed. Then I decided to change into my pj's. When I returned down stairs I saw Spence looking at something. As I got closer I realized it was one of my old Albums.
"You were a very cute child." Spence said smiling.
"And I'm not cute now?" I asked pouting.
"No you are not. Now you are beautiful." Spence said causing me to blush.
"Thank you." I said feeling shy I'm not use to Spence being so bold.
"What would you like to speak about?" Spence asked.
"Why did you get so upset at the bar and drink like that?" I asked still confused.
"That guy acted like I was not even there. It was as though you were alone to him." Spence explained.
"He was a jerk. I'm sorry he upset you." I said sincerely.
"I am use to people thinking of me that way." Spence said looking away from me.
"What way Spence?" I asked confused.
"Like I could never get a girl like you to look at me." He answered truthfully.
"You're the genius I'm the one that wouldn't be good enough for you." I said speaking thoughts I had many years ago.
"You are prefect JJ. You are beautiful, successful, caring, and intelligent." Spence said.
"What do you think you are?" I asked trying to get to the root of the problem.
"I am awkward and skinny." Spence answered.
"I think you are very good looking and did I mention a genius. There's nothing wrong with not being a huge muscle type of guy." I said hoping to boost him up.
"Thank you JJ." Spence said pulling me into a huge hug and then kissing my cheek.
