Undivided

Chapter Six

They arrived at JJ's house just as the boys were finishing breakfast with the Nanny.

"Mommy, Uncle Spence!" They cheered excitedly when they saw them.

"It's not Tuesday already is it?" Henry asked knowing that was when Spence usually came over.

"No, it's not, but we both have the say off we thought we could all spend it together." JJ explained.

"How do you feel about the zoo?" Spence asked them.

"Yes!" the both agreed.

"Ok, then you guys need to get dressed and let Spence and I get showered and changed so we can go." JJ told them and they hurried off to their rooms.

"Do you need me for anything else JJ?' Olivia the nanny asked.

"No, Olivia, thank you for everything. Were they all right?" JJ asked.

"Oh they were great as always. I can't wait to see them again." She told them, "It was good to see you again Doctor Reid."

"Please call me Spencer." He offered and she smiled.

"OK, see you both soon." She told them as she left.

"You can use the hallway bathroom to clean up." She offered and Reid nodded taking his bag upstairs and to the shower. He smiled at the sounds of the boys talking about the zoo ad what they hopped to see. He was glad he had some casual clothes packed in his bag to change into. After her showered and changed he found JJ in the kitchen and smiled at the sight of her in shorts and a tank top with her hair pulled up in a ponytail. He stood for several moments watching her from the doorway as she moved about the kitchen. Eventually she felt his eyes upon her and turned towards him.

"What?" she asked him as she studied the smile on his face.

He shook his head a looked around, not spotting the boys crossed the kitchen to her and wrapped his arms around her. "It's another conversation for another day, just know you amaze me." He said before kissing her quickly and turning her lose. "Are we ready to go? Do you need any help?" He asked when he spotted that she was packing up a picnic.

"I'll finish this if you will go make sure the boys have shoes on and that Michael went to the bathroom." She answered.

"All right boys, who can find their shoes first?" He asked walking into the living room. JJ smiled listening to their exchange one of the things that surprised her the most about him was how good he was with kids. It's not what you would expect from a genius who had an unconventional childhood but he was a natural with them.

They arrived at the zoo just as it was opening the boys chattering excitedly about what animals they would see first, finally deciding on the pandas. They took their time through the exhibits Henry liked the reptile house best and Michael the gorillas. At one point JJ left the boys with Spencer while she went to get tickets to an movie they were showing on the rainforest and came back to find them in the gift shop. Michael was holding the largest stuffed gorilla she had ever seen and Henry had what seemed to be at least three different books on reptiles. Spence was happily handing the woman at the counter his credit card and the boys were beaming over their new acquisitions.

"Look Mommy, a new friend!" Michael told her happily.

"I see and Henry are there any books left on reptiles?" she asked with a laugh.

"No, Uncle Spence told me to get them all." Henry responded already studying one of them intently.

"Spence, you didn't have to…" She started but he cut her off.

"I know but I wanted to." He said with a smile. "Come on let's go see the movie."

They settled into the theater and as soon as the lights went down she saw Michael leave his seat and reached for him expecting him to come sit in her lap, instead he climbed up in Spence's lap and settled in with the stuffed gorilla. Within a minute he was sound asleep in Spence's arms. Henry cozied up on the other side of her and she began to feel the emotions of the last case begin to slip away.

After the zoo they headed back towards JJ's house and the boy's favorite pizza place. Spencer knew this had to be a place that they use to visit with Will a place that would be full of neighbors and potential questions.

"Are you sure you are OK with this?" He asked quietly and she simply responded by giving his hand a quick squeeze.

They were quickly seated and ordered a cheese pizza for the boys and veggie one for the adults. The boys showed Spence the arcade games for which Spence happily supplied quarters.

They had just finished eating and packing up their leftovers when the door to the restaurant opened and Will walked in.

"Daddy!" The boys yelled excited to see them. "We went to the zoo with Mommy and Uncle Spence!" Michael told him.

"Oh, that's great, I was just getting a pizza to go." Will offered doing his best not to look in the direction of JJ and Spencer while hugging his sons. "I can't wait to spend the weekend with you guys."' He told them and then finally looked over at JJ and Spencer, "Uh, JJ could I talk to you for a minute?"

JJ looked from Spence, to the boys, to Will, and back to Spence. "Do you mind taking the boys to the car?" she asked Spence.

"Of course not, Henry can you grab the box?" He asked as he scooped Michael up in his arms knowing that was the easiest way to get him to the car.

Will waited until Spence and the boys were out before speaking, "So I guess this is it now? You and Reid out with the boys, family day at the zoo? Pizza at our place?"

"Will, it's not like that…"she started.

"Then what is it Jennifer?" He asked defensively.

"Well, I guess it is a little like that. We got home from a really hard case and had the day off and we both wanted to spend it with the boys." She explained.

"How much time is he spending with the boys? How often is he over? Is he spending the night?" Will interrogated.

"Will! Where is this coming from? No, Spence isn't spending the night. The boys aren't even aware yet that our relationship has changed." She explained.

"So it has changed." Will said flatly.

"Will, what did you expect?" She asked softly.

"I'm sorry JJ, I guess I figured you were seeing each other I just wasn't expecting to see you out together, especially with the boys." He explained.

"Will, Spence has always been part of the boys' lives and he stayed away when you moved out but that wasn't fair to the boys. This is new to all of us and we are still trying to figure it out." She did her best to explain gently.

Will nodded, "I'll see you tomorrow when I come to get the boys, goodnight Jennifer."

"Goodnight Will." She said still feeling a little unsettled by the conversation.

She joined Spence and the boys in the car and they drove the short distance back to her house the boys still talking excitedly about their day and the animals. As excited as they were they were also tired and went to bed quickly and JJ and Spence found themselves on the lounge chair on her back porch once again. JJ was leaning back against him as Spence was gently massaging her shoulders.

"You want to talk about it?" Spence asked gently.

"Will?" she asked knowing that's what he meant, "He wasn't prepared to see us out together, especially with the boys."

"Maybe you were right and we should keep things more private for a while he suggested.

"No, you were right Spence we can't hide in my backyard forever, not if we are really going to see where this goes and I think one thing I've realized over the last few days is I really want to see where this can go."

"Remember when I told you I had three or four futures that I could imagine?" He asked her. JJ nodded waiting for him to continue. "This morning when I walked into the kitchen and saw you standing there getting ready for us to have a day together with the boys. That was from one of those futures. Not just any future that was from the future that I went to…" he hesitated and then he saw the softness in her blue eyes waiting for him to continue. "That was the future I went to in my head when I was in prison. Thoughts of you and the boys as farfetched as they seemed at the time were literally what kept me going Jennifer."

"Spence" Was all she could say before taking his face in her hands a kissing him. "So many nights during that I would lie awake and the only future that I could see was one without you and I refused to accept that. That was when I could no longer lie to myself about my feelings for you."

Spencer lifted her into his lap and she wrapped her legs wrapped around him and their lips crashed together in a desperate hungry kiss their hands roaming freely over the other's body. Spence's lips moved down her neck and his hands up under the back of her tank feeling the softness of her skin and pulling her even closer. She leaned her head back encouraging his lips further down her neck along her collarbone to the soft skin above her breast as her hands wove through his hair.

"I need you JJ, I need you in every part of my life, and I always have." He whispered trailing his kisses back up her neck to her mouth turning whatever words she was about to say into low moan of desire. His hands moved slowly from her back to her breast over the top pf her bra. There was no space left between them and the feel of his desire pressing against her core combined with the way his hands were massaging her breast was about to send her over the edge in her backyard.

"Spence." She said weakly trying to get her thoughts out as she gently pushed back from him and the way his dark eyes looked at her with desire almost caused all of her thoughts to cease, "Maybe we should take this upstairs." She managed breathlessly.

He pulled back from her slightly looking at her lips swollen, her skin flushed and eyes full of desire for him and if it hadn't been for the ever increasing throbbing between his legs he might have thought he was imagining the entire thing.

"Tonight, here, your bedroom?" He asked uncertainly.

JJ laughed, "Well it's a little more private and comfortable than my backyard."

"But the boys…" He thought

"Are sound asleep and the door locks." She said leaning into kiss him again.

Spence let out a soft groan as he slowly moved her off of his lap, "I know it's just…" He hesitated then continued, "JJ that was yours and Will's room and bed and I know it might sound silly but…" He stopped when JJ kissed him again.

"But you want our first time to be just us?" She asked with a smile of understanding.

"Well to be honest I have enough nerves about this without bringing all of that into it." He admitted with a laugh.

JJ smiled and scooted back into his lap wrapping her arms around his neck, "You didn't seem so nervous a few minutes ago."

"You definitely help with my nerves.' He said before kissing her again, 'The boys are with Will this weekend, right?"

JJ began slowly kissing his neck, "Two full nights." She confirmed between kisses finally meeting his eyes again with a smile before climbing out of his lap and standing up next to the chair and offering him a hand. They kissed goodnight at her door and JJ promised to be over as soon as Will picked the boys up the next day.

She arrived at his apartment just after lunch the next afternoon he didn't answer the door when she knocked so she used her key and let herself in. She walked into the apartment and found him asleep on the couch. There were books on the coffee table and one laying open on the floor next to him that he had obviously dropped when he had fallen asleep. She picked it up and was surprised when she saw it was a book on helping kids through divorce, she glanced around at the others on his table and looked at the titles there was one on basic child development, one nurturing children's emotional and mental health, and one on blended families. JJ looked at them in amazement, was this how he had spent his day off? Reading up on how to be even better with her children than he already was? She smiled as she looked at the sleeping face on the couch and slowly pushed his hair back from his face.

"Hey Sleepyhead." She whispered before brushing her lips across his and smiling as she watched his eyes flutter open. He startled slightly when he saw her sitting up and rubbing the sleep from his face.

"Hey, I'm sorry I must have dozed off, I meant to put all of this away before you got here." He said glancing nervously at the books. "I mean I didn't want you to think…" He stammered.

"To think what that you love me and my kids and that you spent one day off taking them to the zoo and then your next day off trying to understand them and their needs better? Yeah that's definitely not the kind of thing a girl likes to catch her boyfriend doing." She said with a wink moving the book from his hand a laying down next to him on the couch.

"I just mean a couple of those touch on topics we haven't gotten to yet and I don't want you to think I am rushing you or overstepping my relationship with the boys." He explained.

She reached for the blanket laying at the bottom of the couch and pulled it up over them snuggling closer to him laying her head on his chest. "The only thing I'm bothered by at the moment is that you were taking a nap without me." She said letting out a yawn. "Everything else is perfect." She felt him place a kiss on top of her head as she allowed her eyes to close as she felt the warmth of his body next to her.

She had no idea how much time had passed when she felt his slight stubble rub against her as her was kissing the side of her face. "Who's the sleepyhead now?" He asked as she slowly opened her eyes and smiled at him and the way his hand was lazily running along her side under her shirt. She reached her arm around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. He pulled her closer wanting her back as close she had been the previous night. Her fingers wove into his hair again as his lips once again explored her neck. He stopped for a moment causing her to open her eyes, "I love you Jennifer." He said.

"I know, I've always known." She assured him as she felt him begin to unbutton her shirt and continue his kisses down until her reached her black lace bra and she smiled when she heard him moan at the sight of it and she took a minute to pull his face back up so he could see her eyes again. "It's brand new, just for us." She explained.

He responded by lowering his head back to her breasts kissing each one over the delicate black lace before retuning upwards to her mouth swallowing his name as she said it in a whimper. He slowly stood up from the couch pulling her up with him and guiding her to his bedroom while they kissed and she removed his shirt. By the time they reached his rom they were both fumbling with the others pants. He unbuttoned her shorts and they dropped to the floor by his bed revealing black lace panties that matched her bra.

"You are so beautiful." He told her as he laid her on his bed removing his own pants and joining her as he took in every part of her and she did the same to him both of them trying their best to savor the moments as long as they could until the need for release became too great and they came together.

After a second nap, and the shower that JJ had been thinking about since the first time she had been in his they finally found their way back into some clothes and decided to head out to dinner. They ate dinner at a place around the corner from Reid's apartment. Usually they were cautious when out in public even if they were on "dates" since their relationship was still not public knowledge and the likelihood of running into someone from the bureau. Tonight though given their afternoon they found it more difficult to keep their affection under control. They were just leaving dinner when JJ was teasing Spence about something when he grabbed her around the wait and she let out a squeal. Spence was about to kiss her in the middle of the crowded DC street when they heard a familiar voice call their names. They spun around quickly to see Luke and his girlfriend Lisa coming towards them down the street.
