Spencer rested his head on the desk. It was Friday. They had just gotten back from another case early today. Ryan and he had still not spoken about their almost kiss and Elle was nagging him to talk about it with her. He didn't know what to do. He just wanted things to make since, like a math equation or a chemical reaction. There was a knock and Spencer sighed. It hoped it wasn't Ryan. He still didn't know what to say or do about her. "Come in." he said, not looking up.
"Spenner!"
Sarah looked up to see a blond and little boy. She were both gorgeous.
Spencer looked up to see Henry running towards him.
"Henry." He quickly got up and grabbed the little boy, pulling him off the ground. He kissed the little boy's forehead. "What are you doing here?"
He looked over at JJ, who was leaning against the door. "We wanted to surprise you."
"I'm surprised, very. Let me introduce you guys to the team. This is Sarah, our ...well, you. Sarah, this is JJ."
Sarah smiled. "Hi, JJ."
JJ smiled at the woman. "Hey."
Spencer looked between the two. "The rest of the team are out here."
He left the office and Elle looked up first. "JJ!"
The two women hugged. "How are you doing?"
JJ smiled. "I'm good. How are you? It's been so long."
"Too long."
Spencer waited until they wee finished to introduce her to the rest of the team. JJ and Grey talked about their children for a moment before DiMario flirted a little. Ryan was silent, looking at the little boy in Spencer's arms. She looked back at JJ. JJ noticed the hesitation.
"You must be Ryan." She said, remembering the night she had called Spencer when she was in Alaska. This was the woman he had been on a date with. Might have kissed. JJ shook her head she didn't want to think about that. She was with Will. She couldn't do this anymore.
Ryan nodded. "Yeah. It's nice to finally meet you, JJ."
Spencer cleared his throat, feeling the tension. "Uh, and this is Henry. My godson."
DiMario looked at the kid. There was definitely some resemblance to Reid. "He's adorable."
Spencer and DiMario shared a look before Spencer smiled. JJ smiled as well. "Thank you."
Elle spke up. "You two should get out of her. We'll turn the files into your desk. You can close the case tomorrow."
Spencer looked at everyone. "You'll finish them."
Grey nodded. "I'll make sure DiMario finishes them all."
Spencer grinned. "Alright. Have a good weekend."
"You two."

Spencer grinned as Henry and he played. JJ was making them dinner. She had insisted. Henry curled up in Spencer's lap, getting sleepy. It was way past his bed time in DC, even if it was still early in Vegas. Spencer ran his fingers through the boys wavy hair. He had wavy hair. Neither JJ or Will's hair was at all curly. He kissed the boy's head. "Sleepy, buddy?"
"No Sleep. Wanna play." He muttered, burying his head into Spencer's chest.
"We'll play tomorrow. We'll go to the park."
"Okay." Henry sighed, closing his eyes, holding onto the lanky genius. "Love you, Spenner."
"Love you too, Henry." He waited until Henry's breathing slowed, before standing up. He laid the boy down in his old room and joined JJ in the kitchen. He looked over her shoulder, slightly pressed against her. "What are you making?"
JJ paused in her movements, feeling his breath against her. "Uh...Pasta."
She leaned back against him a little, subconsciously and Spencer wrapped his arms around her waist. She closed her eyes. "Spence..."
He kissed her shoulder, then her neck. "Jennifer."
She turned in his arms. "We can't do this, Spencer."
He looked at her, "Why not?"
"I'm with Will."
"You were with Will when we.."
"And look what happened, Spence. We're.. We can't do this."
"We don't work together anymore."
"You're still with the FBI and I'm with Will." She said it again and Spencer couldn't tell if she was trying to convince him to stop or herself. His eyes fell to her lips, which parted at the look. He leaned in and kissed her, her hands immediately going to his curls, responding to the kiss. Spencer took a step back, away from the stove, pulling her closer. JJ pulled back, shaking her head.
"Spence." The pain in her voice made him pause. He looked at her, ashamed. She didn't want this. He was pushing her.
"I'm sorry, JJ. I didn't mean.."
She shook her head before resting it on his chest. She enjoyed being in his arms. She looked up at him, seeing the hurt in his eyes. Confusion. She didn't know what to do. She didn't want him to hurt. She never wanted him to hurt and yet, here she was, playing the same game they'd been playing for years. She pulled out of his arms, feeling chilled at the lack of contact.
"I should finish dinner."
Spencer nodded. "Okay."
JJ watched as he walked into the living room, grabbing a book. He opened it, stared at the pages, but she knew he wasn't reading. His fingers weren't moving over the pages. It was almost been 30 seconds and he hadn't turned a page. She sighed. Maybe she shouldn't have came at all. She wanted Spencer to see Henry though. She knew the man was feeling guilty, probably more now that he knew about the possibility that Henry was... She couldn't finish that thought. She had spent countless nights, thinking about it. She just.. couldn't do anymore. She didn't want to think about it. She stirred the pasta before turning off the stove. She had to think about it. Both Spencer and Henry deserved to know the truth.
"Spencer."
Spencer looked up from his book. JJ breathed out slowly.
"He's yours." She said, softly. "Henry... he's your son."
