I don't own Criminal Minds
Enjoy
Spencer was released from the hospital after about two weeks. The doctors that he was well enjoy to go home.
Pepper quit her job at the BAU, Strauss was really upset by this at first, but when she explained about Spencer having cancer, Strauss was silent.
Spencer had to resign from the BAU, as for money Spencer got a part time job at a local university. They gave him a pretty bug raise after seeing what an asset he was to the school.
One day Spencer was sitting on the coach grading papers, when Pepper came in and hugged him.
"Dad…can we go to the beach, now that your better?"
Spencer smiled and kissed her cheek, "Of course sweet pea."
Spencer and Pepper drove to the beach, it was a bit of a drive, but they spent the time singing along with the songs on the radio and talking.
At the beach, it was a bit windy but there was hardly anyone there. Pepper and Spencer walked along the beach as the tide swept over their feet.
"Hey dad, what do lazy dogs do for fun?"
Spencer chuckled, "They chase parked cars."
Pepper pouted, "I'll stump you someday."
"I'm sure you will."
They sat on a log that was a few feet from the water.
"Dad…how did you react when you first saw me?"
Spencer smirked, "Well I was terrified, I never thought I would have a child of my own. I remember how strange it was having you in my arms for the first time. To be honest Pepper, you gave me something I never thought I would have."
"What's that?"
"A real family. A child to give kisses at bed time. A little angel to call my own."
Pepper cried and Spencer held her in his arms for a long time.
"Let's got home…the sun will set soon" said Spencer as he rubbed her back gently.
She nodded and they walked back to the car and drove home.

At home Spencer made them a dinner of chicken wings and vegetables.
Pepper put an enormous amount of hot sauce on the wings.
"I will never understand how you can eat that" said Spencer.
"Well I never understand how you can drink coffee with two bags of sugar."
He blinked and they both laughed so hard tears fell from their eyes.

After about seven months, Spencer started to feel weaker so his doctor told him it was time to stay in more often. Spencer refused, he said he will go out and be with his daughter as long as he can. Even if it kills him.
Pepper told him a few weeks ago that she was going to be in a play at school, Hamlet. She was going to be the queen.
Spencer was not going to miss the performance. On opening night, Morgan had to help walk him inside. Spencer had to take a pill every three hours, so he also brought it with a bottle of water.
Spencer watched the play and saw his daughter perform, it brought tears to his eyes. At the end of the play, Spencer gave her a rose.
"You did so well" and then gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Morgan and Pepper walked him to the car. Morgan had to drive; Spencer was too weak to drive now.
At home Morgan and Pepper gently helped him into his bed and Morgan put the oxygen mask on his face. Another tumor recently appeared on his lung and a fourth tumor was found on his liver. So know his time on earth was cut even shorter.
Morgan said goodbye, but left Spencer a first-edition book on his night table as a gift.
Pepper gave Spencer a good night kiss and went to her room to go to bed.
Little did she now that this was her last time she would see her father.
