Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds, but I do own Olivia
A/N: Shout out to Sue1313 and southernbeauty13 for reviewing chapter 35. And please visit my profile since I have created a poll that deals with the fifth anniversary of Spencer's abduction and torture, so please vote.
Spencer was sitting at his desk working on consults when JJ sat down at her desk, and he looked up while he adjusted his glasses that slipped down his nose a bit while he was working.
"Hey JJ." said Spencer
"Hey Spence." said JJ and she saw that Reid was wearing his glasses "Why you wearing your glasses?"
"My eye doctor actually recommended that I wear my glasses on paperwork days and save my contact lenses for during cases depending on how much reading I do. And this is a trial basis until next August and my eye doctor wants to know if wearing my glasses more than my contacts helps make my migraines less intense." said Spencer
"Makes sense." said JJ
"I don't think Morgan is happy that I am wearing my glasses more often now, but everyone accepts my reasoning about why I don't like fiddling with my torture devices." said Spencer
JJ laughed since everyone knows that Spencer considers his contact lenses torture devices.
"At least if Henry ever needs glasses, you will help him understand that there's no need to be upset about them." said JJ
"How has Henry been doing since his seizure?" asked Spencer
"He's doing alright, but I was able to tell that Will is exhausted."
Spencer thought about weekend plans since he and Olivia didn't make any plans except for cleaning and going to Mass.
"You have any plans for this weekend?" asked Spencer
"Will and I want to take yours and Olivia's offer of watching Henry for the weekend while Will and I go out of town if you and Olivia don't have any major plans." said JJ
"Olivia and I don't have any plans except for cleaning the apartment and going to Mass on Sunday. So we will be glad to watch Henry for the weekend, even if it means missing Mass." said Spencer
"You and Olivia can stay in the guest bedroom." said JJ
"Have you and Will decided where to go?" asked Spencer
"Will and I decided on New York City since you and Olivia had a great time there two weekends ago." said JJ
"Going to drive, travel by plane, or by train?" asked Spencer
"By train like you and Olivia did since it's cheaper than getting last minute plane tickets." said JJ
"We are too spoiled by flying in a private jet, whenever I have to fly commercially I realize that the FBI spoils me way too much when it comes to transportation." said Spencer
"I agree, and that is why Will and I agreed to travel by train." said JJ
"So what time should Olivia and I arrive at your place?" asked Spencer
"By 7 PM at the latest since Will and I are catching the train at 8." said JJ
"Olivia and I won't spoil Henry like Garcia does with toys, but we will probably take him somewhere like the National Museum of Natural History or an aquarium." said Spencer
"I approve your descisions on what to do with Henry this weekend, but please don't give him too many sweets since Garcia already does that." said JJ
"I will let Olivia know about what's going on this weekend." said Spencer who pulled out his cellphone and sent her a text
JJ ASKED US TO BABYSIT HENRY THIS WEEKEND SO SHE AND WILL CAN GO OUT OF TOWN. ~ SR
"I just let Olivia know." said Spencer
"Thank you Spence." said JJ
"Not a problem. Maybe when Olivia and I have kids, you and Will will return the favor." said Spencer
"I agree." said JJ
Spencer's cellphone vibrated and he saw that it was Olivia.
AT OUR APARTMENT OR AT JJ AND WILL'S? ~ OR
Spencer sent Olivia a quick text.
AT JJ AND WILL'S. THEY HAVE A GUEST BEDROOM THAT WE CAN SLEEP IN SINCE WE WILL BE THERE UNTIL SUNDAY.~ SR
Spencer's phone vibrated a minute later.
ITS GOOD THAT WE NOW HAVE PLANS FOR THIS WEEKEND NOW. I WILL SEE YOU AT 5 PM.~ OR
JJ looked at Reid.
"I already let Will know about you and Olivia saying yes. And he is grateful that you two will take care of Henry so he and I can have a weekend to ourselves." said JJ
Spencer continued working on his pile of consults and decided to take a break to let Hotch know his weekend plans. Spencer walked up to Hotch's office and knocked on the open door.
Hotch, who was working on paperwork, looked up and saw it was Reid.
"What can I do for you Reid?" asked Hotch
Reid closed Hotch's office door and sat down in front of Hotch's desk, making eye contact while speaking up.
"Olivia and I are going to watch Henry for the weekend so JJ and Will can take a mini-vacation since they had to deal with a sick Henry earlier this week." said Spencer
"That is nice of you." said Hotch
"Olivia and I are planning to take Henry somewhere like the aquarium or the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History tomorrow. And if you and Jack don't have any plans, we want to invite you to join us." said Spencer
"Jack and I would love to join you, Olivia, and Henry tomorrow. Jack's always enjoys learning something from you even if it means doing some science experiments that include flying film canisters." said Hotch who was thinking about the first time Reid showed Jack physics magic and Jack talked non-stop about it afterwards
"At least Jack likes it when I do physics magic." smirked Spencer
"At least you are gaining more distance with your little rockets." said Hotch, thinking about the times that Reid would show off his physics magic to JJ, Emily, and Garcia
"During my sabbatical, I had my students figure out what ingredients I use for my physics magic and they weren't allowed to look it up online." said Spencer
Spencer and Olivia knocked on the door at JJ and Will's town house at 6:30 and JJ let them in.
"I want to thank you two again for agreeing to watch Henry this weekend while Will and I go out of town." said JJ
"Not a problem JJ." said Olivia
"And you and Will need a child free weekend." said Spencer as he set down his and Olivia's bag of clothes for the weekend
"Where's Henry?" asked Spencer
"He is taking a nap right now, and he knows that you and Olivia are going to be here for the weekend." said JJ
"Where's Will?" asked Spencer
"He is at a meeting at Metro PD right now, and he'll be home in 10 minutes." said JJ
"Did Henry eat supper yet?" asked Olivia
"Yes he did. And I know that you two don't spoil him with sweets like Garcia does." said JJ
"We might get him some ice cream tomorrow." said Spencer
"I thought you have to take it easy with eating ice cream?" asked JJ
"I have my antacids with me right now." said Spencer
"Good, because you can't stay away from dairy, despite being lactose intolerant." said JJ thinking about the times that Emily, Morgan, Rossi, or Hotch would pass Reid some antacids
"I am lactose intolerant too JJ, but I eat dairy in moderation like Spencer now does." said Olivia
"I noticed that your husband has become much more careful when it comes to eating meals while on cases." said JJ
"That's because I am making sure that he eats healthier when I learned about how much sugar he consumes." said Olivia with a knowing smirk at him
Spencer rolled his eyes at her since she always nags him about his sugar intake in-between cases.
"Did you know that sometimes during cases Hotch has to ban Spence from drinking coffee in the evenings to make sure that he gets some sleep at night?" asked JJ
Spencer decided to head to the guest bedroom
"I am going to take our bags to the guest bedroom." said a flustered Spencer as he picked up his and Olivia's bags
As Spencer headed into the guest bedroom, Olivia looked at JJ.
"I ban my husband from drinking coffee when he comes home from work since he needs sleep at night to reduce his migraines." said Olivia
"How are Spence's migraines now?" asked JJ and before adding "Spence told me that wearing his glasses helps make his migraines less intense since his eyes hurt when he has a migraine because of his contacts."
"They are pretty much gone even though he has one when he doesn't get enough sleep. And with exercising more and eating healthier his migraines have became less intense. Plus I get him to take some Tylenol when he has one." said Olivia
"That's great." said JJ
At that moment Will let himself into the house and saw Olivia talking to JJ.
"Hey Olivia." said Will
"Hey Will." said Olivia
"Where's Spencer?" asked Will
"Right here, I was just putting Olivia's and my bags in the guest bedroom." said Spencer
"I appreciate you two watching Henry for the weekend so I can take JJ on a much needed mini vacation." said Will
"As I told JJ, it's not a problem Will. And if you ever get called into work, I can watch Henry for you while Spencer and JJ are on a case." said Olivia
"I will take your offer because Henry likes you Olivia." said Will
"I got our bags packed." said JJ
"I just have to change before we can go." said Will who headed toward the bedroom
"Henry had his bath before I put him down for a nap. He is almost completely potty trained, but you two might have to remind him about using the bathroom. And there are pull-ups he can wear when he goes to bed." said JJ
"Good to know." said Olivia
15 minutes later JJ and Will left, and Spencer and Olivia heard Henry coming into the living room.
"Unca Spence! Aunt Livy!" shouted Henry as he climbed onto the couch and sat on his godfather's lap
"Hey Henry." said Spencer as he hugged his godson
"Mommy and daddy went bye-bye?" asked Henry
"Yes they did buddy, but the three of us will have a great time." said Spencer
Henry looked at Olivia who was smiling at him.
"You going to play with Unca Spence and me?" asked Henry
"Yes I am, Henry." said Olivia
Spencer looked at the clock and saw that it was already 7:30.
"So Henry, what do you want to do before bedtime?" asked Spencer knowing that Henry has an 8:30 PM bedtime
"Play with toys." said Henry who was pointing at the toy bin
Henry got off Spencer's lap and headed towards the toy bin, and he grabbed some of his stuffed animals to show to Olivia.
"Come here Aunt Livy." said Henry
Spencer and Olivia got off the couch and joined Henry on the floor, and Henry handed Olivia a stuffed lion.
"This is Charlie and Unca Spence gave me this lion." said Henry, who passed the stuffed lion to Olivia
"He looks cute." said Olivia while winking at her husband
"What does a lion say?" asked Spencer
"Rawr." said Henry
"Good job Henry." praised Spencer
Henry decided to pull out a teddy bear next.
"This is Freddy and Aunt Penny gave me this bear." said Henry
Henry started showing Olivia more of his toys, and then he yawned.
"It's time for bed Henry." said Spencer
"I don't wanna go to bed." whined Henry
"Would you like me to read you your favorite bedtime story?" asked Spencer as he got off the floor and flexed his bad knee
"Baby Star?" asked Henry
"Yes, Henry." said Spencer while he scooped up the sleepy almost three year old "You need to go potty?" asked Spencer
"Yes." said Henry
Spencer helped Henry go to the bathroom and helped him brush his teeth before tucking him in bed. A few minutes later Olivia walked into Henry's room, seeing Spencer sitting on Henry's bed.
Henry looked at Olivia.
"You wanna join us?" asked Henry
"Sure I can sweetie." said Olivia
Spencer grabbed Baby Star from the nightstand and handed it to Olivia.
"You show Henry the pictures while I recite the story." said Spencer
Olivia nodded and opened up the book, and Spencer started using his eidetic memory to recite the story while Olivia showed Henry the picture. When he saw that Henry was asleep, he covered Henry more before kissing his forehead and Olivia also gave Henry a kiss on the forehead. When they heard Henry's steady breathing, they quietly crept out of his bedroom and headed towards the living room.
When they reached the living room, Spencer and Olivia picked up Henry's toys and put them back in their box. A few minutes later they plopped onto the couch, and Olivia looked at her husband.
"What should we do now?" asked Olivia
"How about watch TV?" asked Spencer who turned on the TV
"What's on right now?" asked Olivia while she rested her head on Spencer's shoulder
"There's the news." said Spencer
"The news will do." said Olivia, knowing that her husband will watch the news a lot because of his job
Spencer and Olivia watched the news for the next half hour and Spencer yawned.
"We should probably check on Henry and go to bed." said Olivia
"Yeah we should." said Spencer
They checked on Henry and a few minutes later they were getting ready for bed in the guest bedroom. A few minutes later Spencer and Olivia were asleep with Olivia's head on her husband's chest.
Spencer and Olivia woke up at 6 AM and quickly got dressed before they checked on Henry and headed to the kitchen to make some breakfast. They decided to make blueberry pancakes. 20 minutes later Olivia looked at Spencer.
"Go wake Henry and tell him that breakfast is done." said Olivia
Spencer headed to Henry's room and looked at Henry who was sleeping. He tickled Henry's belly to wake him up.
Henry started giggling and woke up to see his Uncle Spencer.
"Time to wake up and go potty before we eat some blueberry pancakes." said Spencer who lifted Henry out of bed and went towards the bathroom
Spencer helped Henry go to the bathroom and get dressed before they headed towards the kitchen where Spencer placed Henry in his booster seat.
"Morning big guy." said Olivia as she placed a plate of cut up blueberry pancakes in front of Henry
"Hi Aunt Livy." smiled Henry
Spencer helped himself to some blueberry pancakes and some orange juice before sitting down at the table.
"Eat some breakfast, Henry, so we can play." said Spencer
"Play?" asked Henry
"We are going to go play with Uncle Aaron and Jack today." said Spencer
"Jack is fun to play with." said Henry while he put some pancakes in his mouth and chewed "Yummy."
"So you like mine and Spencer's cooking?" asked Olivia
Henry's long blonde hair bobbed back and forth while he nodded.
At 10 AM Spencer, Olivia, and Henry exited Spencer's car and met up with Hotch and Jack in the parking lot at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
"Hi Uncle Spencer." said Jack who hugged Spencer
"Hey Jack." said Spencer who hugged Jack back before pulling a quarter out of his ear "Look what I found, Jack." said Spencer who handed Jack the quarter
"Cool." said Jack
Hotch knelt down to Henry's eye level since he saw Henry was in his stroller.
"Hey Henry." said Hotch
"Hi Unca Aaron." said Henry with a grin
"I am glad that you are feeling better." said Hotch who stood back up to his full height and looked at Olivia and Spencer "Good morning Spencer and Olivia." said Hotch who knows that Spencer prefers to be called by his first name when off duty
"Can we go inside now, daddy?" asked Jack
"Sure we can kiddo, but remember that we have to go through security first." said Hotch
"Then let's get in line daddy." said Jack who grabbed his father's hand
Olivia decided to push Henry's stroller while they got into line to go inside, and Spencer was chatting with Hotch.
"Thanks again for agreeing to join us Aaron." said Spencer, knowing that he has permission to call Hotch by his first name while off duty
"Jack and I appreciate you inviting us to come along on this outing." said Hotch
Jack looked up at Spencer.
"I like it when you come to museums with daddy and me since I learn a lot from you." said Jack
"And my husband is still showing me around Washington DC since there's a lot to see." said Olivia
"At least I took you to the top of the Washington Monument before that earthquake and hurricane happened." said Spencer
"The Washington Monument still closed Uncle Spencer?" asked Jack
"The Washington Monument is going to be closed for the next couple of years for repairs because of cracks that formed after that earthquake, and Hurricane Irene that happened a few days after that earthquake caused more damage to be discovered." said Spencer
Jack nodded at Spencer, understanding what he told him.
A few minutes later Hotch, Olivia, Spencer, Jack, and Henry made it through security and Hotch looked at Jack and Henry.
"Before we start exploring the museum, do either of you need to use the bathroom?" asked Hotch
"I got to go potty Unca Spence." said Henry
"Me too." said Jack
Spencer unbuckled Henry from his stroller while Hotch took Jack's hand and they headed towards the bathroom with Olivia pushing the stroller. A few minutes later they were walking around the museum.
During the next couple of hours, Jack was asking Spencer questions about the exhibits and soaking everything in like a sponge. And when Jack and Henry were hungry, everyone headed to a diner and Jack looked at Spencer.
"I can't wait to tell my friends about what I learned today." said Jack
"How is school going, Jack?" asked Spencer
"I am liking the first grade. Didn't you skip a couple of grades Uncle Spencer?" asked Jack, knowing that Spencer is a genius
"I actually skipped first grade and a couple other grades since I graduated high school when I was 12 years old. I graduated high school when kids my age back then just finished the sixth grade." said Spencer
"And I graduated high school when I was 16, Jack." said Olivia who was coloring with Henry
"Wow." said Jack who decided to start coloring
Hotch looked at Reid who was taking a sip of his water and thought about Reid telling Jack about why the Washington Monument was still closed.
"Have you been keeping up with the Washington Monument being closed for the next few years because of your PhD in engineering?" asked Hotch
"Yeah I have. I went to college with one of the engineers that assessed the damage both after the earthquake and hurricane, and he once helped me with one of the pranks that I performed at Caltech." said Spencer
Jack looked up when he heard Spencer say prank since he heard about pranks that are pulled on April Fools day.
"You are good at pulling pranks Uncle Spencer?" asked Jack
"Yeah I am. I am considered a prank master at the BAU. Morgan always forgets that I can out prank him because I went to a college that is famous for prank wars." smirked Spencer
Jack looked at his daddy.
"Is Uncle Spencer really great at pulling pranks?" asked Jack
"Uncle Spencer did some reprogramming to Uncle Morgan's Mp3 player and cellphone last month." said Hotch remembering what Rossi told him when Reid was off for a week because of Olivia's appendicitis
"What did you do to Uncle Morgan's Mp3 player and cellphone?" asked Jack
Spencer ended up explaining what he did to Morgan's Mp3 player and cellphone and Jack was giggling when he was done.
"And Garcia thought that my payback prank was a great one since she saw a few prank wars happen at Caltech. She actually wants me to show her how I did it since she has some ideas on what to do to Morgan." said Spencer
"When Rossi told me about your payback prank, I was glad that you waited until after we left Idaho." said Hotch
"I have some other ideas on what to do to Morgan, but I don't want to say it in front of little ears." said Spencer with a smirk while looking at Jack and Henry
"At least you two don't flirt or banter like Garcia and Morgan do." said Hotch thinking about all the sexual harassment seminars that happen because of Morgan and Garcia
"But it's always entertaining when Morgan gets strange looks from police officers or agents during cases, and I enjoyed Garcia's outburst while we were in St. Louis." said Spencer
"That was pretty funny, especially since you, JJ, and Emily were trying to hold back laughter." said Hotch
"I knew that if I didn't come back after my sabbatical ended, I probably would have missed Garcia's and Morgan's flirting and banter." said Spencer
"I do know how to make my husband blush though." said Olivia with a smirk at Spencer
"You do get your husband to laugh when he is texting you during cases." said Hotch
"That is one of my goals, and I know that when he is able to text or call me that is when I try to get him to laugh." said Olivia who winked at Spencer
His face turned fire engine red and Hotch started laughing.
Spencer, Olivia, and Henry were playing when JJ and Will walked into the apartment, and Henry looked up when he saw his mommy and daddy.
"Mommy! Daddy!" shouted Henry as he ran to his parents
"Hey baby boy." said JJ as she lifted up Henry and hugged him
"I missed you mommy." said Henry
JJ handed Henry to Will.
"What about me?" pouted Will
"I missed you too daddy." said Henry
"Were you good for Uncle Spencer and Aunt Olivia?" asked Will as he hugged Henry
"I was good." said Henry
JJ and Will looked over at Spencer and Olivia.
"He was a good boy." said Olivia
JJ looked at the clock and saw that it was 4 PM.
"Would you two like to stay for dinner before going home?" asked JJ
Spencer and Olivia looked at each other and Spencer spoke up.
"We were planning on getting some take out and eating at home." said Spencer
"I have some papers to grade and Spencer promised that he would help me." said Olivia
"You actually help your wife with grading?" asked JJ
"I am pretty strict when it comes to grading since my mom was a literature professor, so she was pretty strict when it came to grading essays." said Spencer
"So that is why Hotch and Rossi ask you to help them with grading essays that they have cadets write." said JJ
"My husband is faster at grading because of his reading speed." said Olivia
"Well, we have to get going." said Spencer
"Thanks again for watching Henry this weekend." said JJ
"Not a problem." said Olivia
"And you two are still going to Vegas for Thanksgiving?" asked JJ
"We already paid for our plane tickets, and my mom is excited about us coming." said Spencer
Spencer and Olivia were getting ready for bed and Olivia looked at him.
"So when do you think we will be ready to start trying for a baby?" asked Olivia
"Do you think we can wait to start our own family until I earn my five year medallion?" asked Spencer
Olivia quickly did the math to figure out how much longer until her husband reaches five years sober.
"Sure we can." said Olivia, knowing that one of Spencer's huge goals is earning his five year medallion
"You really don't mind waiting that long, even though it's November right now?" asked Spencer
"No I don't because we have plenty of time since you are 30 while I am still 27." said Olivia who yawned
"We should get to bed since we both have work in the morning." said Spencer as he put his glasses on the night stand
"Goodnight Spencer." said Olivia as she rested her head on his bare chest
"Goodnight Livy." said Spencer as he closed his eyes
