Spencer laid in the bed that he quickly grew comfortable sleeping in. It's been a week since Jacey and Spencer made things between them more intimate by sleeping in the same bed.

"I finally got her to sleep." Jacey said, walking into the room with her night gown on. Spencer took in her figure, she was always beautiful. With or without makeup. With causal clothes or night clothes. There was never a moment where he thought less of her in any way.

"I guess when she cries again, it'll be my turn."

Jacey got into the bed, immediately cuddling up next to the man she knows as her boyfriend. "I don't get it. I mean, she's been sleeping through the night. I don't know why she keeps waking up now."

"Maybe she wants to spend more time with you."

Jacey shook her head. "I work ten hours a day. The only time I work overtime is when I'm helping your team out with a case. I'm literally with her all the time."

Spencer didn't say anything, he tugged Jacey closer to him. Feeling the warmth of her body stirred feelings inside him that were very unfamiliar to him.

"But maybe you're right." Jacey said, looking up at Spencer. "What if I went back to work too early?"

"She's not use to you being gone for more than an hour is all. Every time she cries, she expects to see you. Not me or Mandy."

There was a pause between the couple. "You know, I wanted to thank you."

Spencer's eyes connected with Jacey's big brown eyes. "For what?"

"Spencer, you're the close thing to a daddy that my little girl has. I didn't ask you. You just...became her daddy, you know? That baby loves you. And I don't think she just misses me...but you as well."

"You really think so?"

Jacey chuckled. "Mia is a happy baby in general but when she sees you...her eyes light up."

Spencer smiled proudly to himself. It was nice to feel wanted, to feel needed. Jacey lifted herself off of Spencer's chest. She began to run her fingers through his curly locks. Spencer's hand found Jacey's cheek, caressing it gently as his lips pressed against hers.

It didn't take long for Spencer's other hand to find Jacey's waist. She took the opportunity to straddle him, their lips still moving together in a slow motion.

Spencer licked Jacey's bottom lip, asking her for permission to allow his tongue to collide with hers. And of course, Jacey accepted.

After a moment, Spencer's lips left her and continued on a path down her neck.

"Spencer," Jacey said breathlessly. Hearing the pleasure leave her mouth, Spencer continued to leave soft kisses on her collarbone. "Spencer, wait."

Spencer stopped what he was doing, not wanting to make things uncomfortable for his lady. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No," Jacey said with a smile. "I just–I didn't want to start something that we'd regret. I don't want to have sex until we're sure. I mean, I know how I feel about you–"

"Jacey, you don't have to explain. I agree with you. I want us to both be sure we're ready before..."

Jacey gently moved her lips against Spencer's. She gave him a soft smile before moving to his side and laying her head on his chest. Spencer held her close to him. Counting her breathing patterns before falling asleep himself.

"Do you like yourself, Mr. O'riley?" Jacey asked the potential agent. She sat by her desk, file in one hand and tea in the other.

"I love myself. I value who I am." The man with buzzed cut brown hair and milky skin. His green eyes pierced into Jacey's brown eyes. "I believe I could make a difference because I'm just that great."

Jacey raised an eyebrow at him before nodding. "What about your team?"

"I know I'd have to have one but don't see the reason why. Most of these cases requires one person."

"Uh huh. Let's say you shoot someone, an unsub. An unsub you could've helped...how would that make you feel?" Jacey asked as she scribbled her notes inside his file.

"You live. You learn. Some unsubs are not meant to be saved. We focus on saving the victims." His eyes bored into the walls.

"Sometimes, the unsubs are the victims." Before O'riley could respond, Jacey's office phone started to ring. Seeing that the incoming call was from Agent Hotchner, Jacey answered immediately. "Patrick, thank you for your time. I'll send you your results within a week."

"Thank you, Ms. Montgomery." He left the room soon after.

"Aaron, hi, what's going on?"

"Our current case seems to have something to do with an erotic book called "Bare Reflections". Have you heard of it?"

Jacey shook her head even though she knew Aaron could not see her. "No, erotic romance novels are not really my thing."

"Our victims show similarities to the book, only they were killed."

"Yikes, sounds like someone is playing around a little too rough. His fantasy is to hurt women not kill them, but once he gets into the action of playing out his fantasy...he can't stop. Now, he's starting to like it. Killing for the hell of it."

"How is he getting into the house?" Aaron asked himself, still on the phone with Jacey. "We've thought of almost every way he could get in."

"Either he's been picking locks and busting security cams since age twelve or the girls let them in. Maybe he works for their security company."

There was a pause. Jacey sat there, waiting for Aaron to say something.

"Jacey's right. Maybe the girls are letting him in."

Jacey raised an eyebrow. "Was I on speaker phone this whole time?"

"Thank you for your assistance. See you soon." Aaron said quickly before hanging up.

Jacey placed the phone down. Sighing to herself, she looked at her notes on Patrick O'riley. "Come back for another evaluation in 90 days if you wish to reapply for a position with the BAU."

Jacey placed her daughter on the floor in her office, it was one of those days where she had no choice but to bring her baby to work. Mandy, her babysitter, caught the flu a couple of days ago. Her back up babysitter, Kimberly, was on a mini vacation with her boyfriend.

It was tummy time and Mia wasn't fighting it. Her blue eyes stared at her mom, her small mouth parted open, the drool slowly falling from her tiny lips.

Jacey stared right back at her 12 week old infant, expecting her to throw a fit at any moment. "Are you going to roll over by yourself?"

Mia balled up her hands, her mouth soon to cover them with drool. "Mia, stop gnawing at your hand. It's gonna hurt when you start teething."

Mia continued to gnaw and suck on her fingers, not paying Jacey any attention.

Jacey shook her head before going back to her notes, "Fine, be that way. Don't listen to me. You act just like your grandfather when you do that."

Garcia was walking past Jacey's office, but then she noticed a purple blanket on the floor of the office. Then she noticed a small baby. "Oh my GOD! Is that Mia?!"

Garcia rushed into the room, her heart melting at the sight of Jacey's first born. "Can I- Can I hold her?"

Jacey nodded, "Yeah, I don't mind."

Penelope bent over and gently picked up Mia, holding the baby upward on her chest. "She's the cutest baby ever. She's gotten so big."

Jacey smiled warmly at Garcia's love for Mia. "You saw her last week, Penelope."

"I know. But she's just so cute and so sweet. And she loves me! I can tell, she never cries when I'm around."

Jacey placed her pen by a few files. "You guys have a case right now?"

"No. Not at the moment."

Jacey smiled, "I'm only asking because I need to run over to the copy room, if you want to walk her around, you can."

Garcia's smile widen, "Oh yeah! Definitely walking her around for a few minutes, we'll be back."

"Wait, Penelope. You might want to take that small blanket and put it over your shoulder. She spits up at random times. Oh and take the pacifier, she won't stop crying until she has it in her mouth."

Garcia did what was recommended to her before leaving the office room with Mia in her arms. Jacey chuckled to herself before grabbing a few items and heading to the copy room.

[Deleted Scene from "ROCK CREEK PARK" (#2)]

"Guys! Look who came for a visit." Garcia said happily to her coworkers, bouncing the baby girl, who laid comfortable on her chest.

"Is that who I think it is?" Derek said with a smile, he was the first to walk over to Garcia, followed by Kate and JJ. "May I?"

"Of course, Jacey wouldn't mind." Garcia passed Derek the baby. Derek smiled down at her, Mia instantly blushed under the agent's gaze.

"Ah, you see? Lil' mama likes me." Derek said with confidence. The women that surrounded him laughed.

"She could be a little gassy." Kate joked. She then looked at Garcia. "Where's Jacey?"

"She's in the copy room. She said if I wanted to, I could walk her around since we don't have a case at the moment."

"Why isn't she with a babysitter?" JJ asked, her hand playfully shaking Mia's tiny hand. JJ smiled at the infant.

"I don't know. I didn't ask. I saw her and I melted."

Inside his office, joined by Rossi, Aaron noticed the small get together the agents had.

"Are they forming a riot?" Rossi joked, not knowing what the agents were talking about.

"I always get an uneasy feeling when it looks like they're up to no good." Aaron said, going along with Rossi's joke.

Derek then turned towards Kate's desk, allowing the two men to see Mia in his grasp.

"Is that Mia?" Aaron asked.

Rossi quickly got up from his seat. "Yeah, my bella ragazza."

"Let them know that if a case comes up, Mia has to go back to Jacey."

Rossi nodded before leaving Aaron's office. Hotchner glanced down at his team again, smirking at how the acted with a baby. Didn't take long for him to go right back to his work.

Rossi walked over to his coworkers. Mia was the first to notice her grandfather, she began to kick her legs and smile widely. "Mia! Oh my beautiful baby girl."

Derek passed Mia to Rossi, who was always happy to hold her in his arms. Rossi left kisses all over the baby's face. Mia placed a hand on his face, her mouth opened, signalling a smile that was give to Rossi. "We need to ask your mommy if you could stay a night or two with me."

Jacey finished copying her papers, she walked back to her office to see Spencer pacing back and forth, worry expressed in his eyes.

"Spencer?" Jacey asked. Their eyes connected, the genius walked over and pulled her into a hug. "Are you okay?"

"Where's Mia? I went by your apartment after leaving mine, Mandy didn't answer the door. So, I used the spare key and noticed no one was home."

"Spencer, Mia is with me...here...for the day. Both of my babysitters couldn't be with her, so I had no choice but to bring her to work with me. She's fine, I promise."

Relief spread over Spencer's body, the thought of not knowing where Mia was located scared the daylight out of him. Jacey ran her fingers through his curly hair, "You okay?"

Spencer nodded. "Yeah, I just had a moment. My heart was racing the whole time. Oh, ignore the 23 missed calls and 15 messages I sent you."

Jacey chuckled, shaking her head. "It's okay. I understand. You had a "worried daddy" moment. It sucks, doesn't it?"

"I don't like the feeling, no." Spencer then looked around the room. "Where is she?"

"Right here." Rossi said, coming in the room. Mia took in the sight of Spencer, her legs kicked with excitement. Spencer quickly took her from Rossi's grasp, gently pressing his head against her forehead. Sighing with relief.

Rossi looked between Jacey and Spencer. Jacey smiled. "He had a moment where he freaked out about not knowing where she was located." Rossi nodded, immediately understanding how Spencer felt.

"Reid, we have a case." Rossi said. "Don't be too late for the debriefing." Rossi left the room.

"I should go." Spencer said, passing the infant to her mother. "I'll check on you as many times as I can." He quickly kissed Jacey before giving Mia a kiss as well.

"Close the door, please."

As soon as Spencer left the room, the water works started. Jacey bounced the baby. "I know you miss him. Okay. Okay, let's rock you in my chair."

"Shh. Come stop your crying. It will be alright. Just take my hand, and hold it tight. I will protect you from all around you. I will be here, don't you cry. For one so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm. This bond between us can't be broken. I will be here, don't you cry. 'Cause you'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart from this day on, now and forever more. You'll be in my heart, no matter what they say. You'll be here in my heart. Always." Jacey sang softly to her tired baby, who was fighting her sleep.

"Haley use to sing that to Jack when he was Mia's age." Aaron whispered from Jacey's doorway. Jacey nodded, her eyes expressed sadness for the Agent. "Could I talk to you outside?"

Jacey nodded, walking out of her office, closing the door carefully. "Is everything okay?"

"The wife of up-and-coming congressman, Benjamin Troy, disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Who would you suspect? I thought it would be helpful to have another opinion."

Jacey took in the information, going it over multiple times in her head. "I would suspect his competitors, or someone who openly has a grudge against him. They asking for money?" Aaron nodded.

"Hmm. I would definitely suspect a family member, can't rule them out. Especially not nowadays, people are savages."

Aaron paused for a moment, giving Jacey a knowing look. "You're a genius. Thank you." Aaron walked off into the debriefing room where his other agents were located.

"What did I say?" Jacey mumbled to herself before walking back into her office.

[Deleted Scene from "BEYOND BORDERS" (#1)]

Jacey grabbed a few of her books that discussed the human mind and how it worked, she had a conference a few cities away.

Spencer timidly knocked on Jacey's door. She turned around to see her favorite doctor standing there. "Hey, love. How's it going?"

Spencer cleared his throat, blushing at the nickname Jacey gave him. "I have a case. It's out of the country. I don't know when I'll be back, shouldn't be long though."

Jacey stopped what she was doing. "Out of the country? That's not in your jurisdiction, not unless the victim(s) are American. Even then, you're not a part of the international crew."

"They asked for our help."

"But it's date night. Mandy is willing to watch Mia a little longer today."

Spencer nodded, his face was obviously showing some type of disappointment. "I know, but I'll make it up to you. I promise."

Jacey sighed, reluctantly accepting the fact of Spencer soon departure. "Just make it back to me and Mia." Spencer smiled softly, pulling Jacey into a hug, kissing her forehead.

"Give my girl a kiss for me. See you ladies soon." Spencer said before leaving. Jacey smiled, showing off her dimples.

~Criminal Minds~

[Deleted Scene from "BEYOND BORDERS" (#2)]

Jacey placed her nearly four month old baby girl in her bouncer while she started dinner. Spencer sent her a message earlier to tell her he'll be home in the morning.

Jacey and Spencer made it official to move in together about a week ago. Since Jacey's apartment had more room, Spencer would be relocating to her area.

Mia was occupied by her toys, not paying her mother any attention. Jacey was sure to keep an eye on Mia while she cooked. There was a ring coming from her cellphone, without looking at the caller ID, she answered.

"Hello?" Jacey answered.

"Salut ma fille." A familiar raspy, French accent filled Jacey's ears. The therapist eyes widen.

"Mother?" Jacey asked, she felt a little bemused as to why she was getting a call.

"Why do you sound so surprised?"

"I don't know. I mean, we haven't talked in a while." Jacey said honestly.

"I'm aware of that. I was calling hoping to change that. Jacey, we have never gotten along, but I really don't want to miss out on Mia's life."

"I know, ma. I'm not stopping you from seeing her. Did you get the pictures?"

Jacey could hear the smile on Hayden's face. "Yes! She's a beautiful little girl."

"Gets it from her mother, of course." Jacey joked. And for once, her mother laughed.

"Yes, indeed. Jacey, I will be traveling to America soon. I wanted to visit you and Mia before making my way to Joy."

Jacey was silent but then she looked over at her daughter. Not wanting to ever keep any of her family members from her, Jacey sighed. "I don't mind, mom. You need to see your grandchild. Be a part of her life."

"Thank you, Denise. Thank you."

"Call me Jacey, please." Jacey said, rolling her eyes.

"But your name is Denise."

"My middle name is Denise." Jacey groaned. "Listen, mom, I need to attempt to get Mia ready for bed. I'll talk to you soon."

"Alright. Bye now."

"Bye." Jacey said before hanging up the phone. Jacey smiled to herself, feeling proud of herself.

Suddenly, Mia started to cry. Jacey sighed. "This growth spurt thing is going to be the death of me. Baby girl already teething."

It didn't take long for Jacey to get everything situated. But being alone with Mia while having to do other things around the apartment made the mother realize that she missed Spencer more than he'll ever know.

Alright, let me know what you guys think of the chapter. I'd love some feedback.

"bella ragazza" (Italian) means "beautiful girl".

"Salut ma fille" (French) means "hello my daughter".
