JJ closed her eyes, feeling Spencer's lips running over her jaw, his hands on either side of her neck. He was in control and JJ didn't mind a bit. She swallowed difficultly, tilting her head slightly, trying to get his lips where she wanted them. She felt his lips curl into a smile before he leaned his forehead against her temple.
"Tell me what you want." He murmured, his breath against her cheek.
She shook her head. She didn't know what she wanted. She wanted him to be happy, but if she made him happy - did Ryan really matter? She sighed as his lips moved to her neck - she definitely wanted that. Her fingers curled into his hair as another sound escaped her lips.
Spencer nipped at the skin before pulling back to look at her. "Tell me."
JJ looked at him, running her hands over his shoulders down his chest, before looking back up at him. "I want…"
Spencer moved his hands up her arms, waiting. JJ smiled at his patience. "I want to know you really want this. Is this real?" She asked, softly.
Spencer ran his fingers down her forearms before resting them on her hips. "I…" He looked away and JJ smiled, sadly, before pushing him back a little.
"Then we can't."
Spencer pulled her back. "If Ryan's moving on, then I should too, right? And I… I love you, JJ."
"I don't want to be the rebound, Spence."
"You could never be like that."
JJ leaned in and kissed him, softly. "If we do this, it has to be real. A real relationship. Not just one night. I know that's a lot to ask and if you can't give that, I understand, but that's what I need. That's what I have to have with us."
Spencer watched her before leaning his forehead against hers. She knew it was a lot to ask and didn't expect an answer at the moment. She ran her fingers through his hair again, smiling when his eyes closed at the contact. His arms curled around her waist, pulling her closer as he rested his head on her shoulder. She continued to run her fingers through his hair as they stood in the comfortable silence, both minds racing.

Ryan groaned at the knock on the door before crawling out of bed. She made her way to the door before wincing as she opened it being flooded by light.
"I brought you some coffee." Will said, making his way in. Ryan stayed at the door, watching him, silently.
He turned to look at her. "Nothing happened last night, if you can't remember. You got drunk, talked about Spencer, mentioned kissing me and I took you home. You did puke in my car though, so… you're getting that bill."
Ryan moved to the couch, still watching him.
"You did call Spencer though, I tried to stop you, but you were upset and said you had to tell him. You might want to call him when you're feeling better. He probably needs an explanation. I thought about calling him, but… that's your thing."
Will handed her a cup before sitting next to her. "Did you sleep well?"
Ryan just stared before sipping. Will leaned back, putting his feet up. "I already told Grey you wouldn't be in, and I have to get back soon, but I wanted to check up on you."
"Did you think about it?"
"Think about what?"
"Kissing me."
Will looked at her before shrugging. "If Spencer wasn't around and you weren't hurting, heck yes I'd kiss you. I'd taken you home, but you love him and you're in pain. We're friends and I'd never do that to you." He wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close. Ryan sighed, resting her head on his chest.
"Good, because you're like a brother to me, Will."
Will smiled and kissed her head. "Alright. Well drink some coffee and sleep it off and I'll come check on you after work, okay?"
"Can you stay…for just a little longer?"
Will looked at her before nodding, settling into the couch a little more. "Okay."

"Daddy, Daddy!" Henry jumped on his dad's chest and grinned. "You stayed!"
Spencer opened his eyes and smiled up at his son. "Hey, Hen."
"You make me breakfast, Daddy?"
Spencer laughed. "Yeah, let's go get some breakfast." He sat up and grabbed the little boy. "We got to be quiet though, okay?" He said, setting the boy down on the floor only to see him race to the kitchen.
JJ stirred, reaching out for the man as he started to get out of the bed. "Hey."
Spencer turned and smiled at her. "Hey, I'm going to go make breakfast for Henry. Do you want some waffles?"
She shook her head before leaning up and kissing him. He smiled and kissed her back before pulling back, starting to get up.
"Spencer, are you upset that we didn't…"
He turned, pulling on his shirt. "No! No. Why would I? If we do this, we're going at it slow, right? And if we don't, then it's good that we didn't."
"Are we doing this?" JJ asked, moving to her elbows.
Spencer looked at her. "I… I love you, I do. And last night was…. Amazing, but… I love her, JJ. And you told me to grow up, right?"
JJ nodded, slowly, looking at him.
"Then… I have to think. I have to talk to Ryan. I mean, She and I.. we were going to build a life together, you know?"
JJ nodded. "Go make Henry his waffles. He's waiting."
Spencer smiled, sadly before kneeling on the bed and kissing her forehead. "I do love you, JJ. That's why this… this is hard."
She nodded before watching him go. She sighed, laying back down.

Ryan laid in bed, thinking about what Will had said. She sighed. She had called Spencer, wonderful. He had probably ran right back into JJ's arms… but was that even a bad thing? JJ could give him something she couldn't. JJ was there. JJ was the mother of his son. JJ had taken care of him for years. Ryan pulled the pillow over her head, just wanting to cry. Everything was so messed up. She turned to her side, tossing the pillow before grabbing her phone. No missed calls. No texts. Should she even try? She twirled the phone between her fingers before dialing his number and waiting. What was she going to say?
"Hello, Ms. Ryan!"
Ryan's heart nearly broke. "Henry." She said, her voice cracking.
"How are you feeling, Ms. Ryan. Daddy said you got sick. That's why he and mommy visit you."
Ryan took in a deep breath. "Yeah, buddy. I… I had to go to the hospital."
"Oh no! Daddy didn't say that! You really sick, Ms. Ryan!"
"Yeah, but I'm…getting better now."
"You don't sound better, You sound really sad."
Damn his intelligence. Ryan wiped her eyes. "Yeah, I guess so, buddy. I…"
"I sing to you. Daddy said that when you sick, you got to sleep, so I sing you a song and you go back to bed, okay?"
Ryan sighed. "Okay."
Henry cleared his throat and Ryan felt herself slightly smile before he started to sing the same melody she had sang to him a few times; her mother's lullaby for her. The words were his own, just syllables close to the Georgian words. Ryan felt her eyes burn with tears as he continued the whole song.
"Again, Ms. Ryan?"
"Y-yeah, Again."
Henry didn't seem to hear her voice crack or mind singing it again, because again, he cleared his throat and started over. Once he was done, she didn't say anything.
"Ms. Ryan, you sleeping?"
He waited a second before speaking again, this time not to her. "Daddy, Ms. Ryan sleeping, now. I hang up?"
"Are you sure she's asleep."
"I sang to her Daddy. I tell her goodbye, now. Ms. Ryan? You sleeping?" He sighed when she didn't answer again. "Okay. Goodnight, Ms. Ryan. I love you. And Daddy love you too, Ms. Ryan. He told me not to tell, but Daddy cry last night about you. He got really scared 'cause you were sick. I tell him it be okay and you move here soon and we'd give you soup, that's what Mommy give me when I sick and purple drink. You have that too."
Ryan clenched her jaw from making a sound. Henry sighed.
"I can't wait until you get here, Ms. Ryan. I miss you a lot. I ask Daddy when we come see you again, but he said he didn't know because you were sick, but Daddy come back, so I hang up now. I love you, Bye."
