Jack's eyes opened slowly and his mouth opened widely as he yawned and stretched out on the small bed. His leg collided with someone's warm bare skin. He looked to his side and saw the back of his boyfriends head, his messy brown hair was all over the place. He smiled, just staring at the back of Spencer's head for a while before sitting up quietly and looking over to the other bed in the room; the kids were laid facing each other, fast asleep with Evelyn snoring. He climbed over Spencer slowly and carefully so not to knock him and wake him up; he needed his sleep.

He walked down the stairs wondering where Bobby had slept last night, seeing how he and Spencer had slept in his bed –Bobby used their Mother's room as his now, but he still slept in the room he and Jack had shared when they had both lived there. He walked into the living room and noticed the blankets on the couch. "Bobby...?" He asked quietly as he walked into the kitchen. "You're up early, aren't y'?" He chuckled as he watched Bobby grab his bowl from the side and sit at the table.

"Yeah, the couch was killin' m' back!" Bobby grumbled around a mouthful of cereal.

Jack smiled timidly. "Erm...yeah, sorry about that." He scratched at the back of his head and leaned against the counter. "We just kinda fell asleep. Sorry."

"Nah, it's okay. I'm just glad the kids were in the room...otherwise I'd o' never been able t' sleep in that bed ever again." Bobby said looking down at his bowl. He looked up at Jack and half-smirked.

"Hey! What do you think I am? We wouldn't have done that on your bed." Jack told his brother, a serious look on his face...until he smirked naughtily. "It creaks way too much."

Bobby just stared at his younger brother for a moment before he grinned widely. "Like that would o' stopped you!"

Jack just grinned back and walked over to the fridge, grabbing one of the cartons of juice. He unscrewed the cap and brought it to his lips...but before he could take a sip he felt something hit him in the back of the head. He turned to look at Bobby and then down to the floor as he rubbed the back of his head. "You threw your spoon at me?"

"Get a glass, you pig!" Bobby told him pointing to the cupboard where he kept the glasses. "An' get me a new spoon while y' at it." Jack chucked the spoon on the table close to his brother's bowl and leaned back against the counter as he took a sip from his glass. They stayed in a comfortable silence for a while. Bobby was the first to break it. "So...what happened yesterday? Why was Spencer covered in blood? He tell you?"

Jack paused, the glass pressing against his lips. After a short moment he pulled the glass away and licked his dry lips. "Yeah...yeah, h-he told me." He said quietly.

"So, what happened?" Bobby asked almost impatiently.

Jack chuckled at his brother's impatience and then chewed on the left side of his bottom lip. He let his lip slide free from his teeth and then sighed. "The case he was working on...he said there were young teenage boys involved...a load of 'em had been kidnapped and..." Jack paused. "They'd been abused in loads o' different ways and shit. He said the guy who took 'em had ran off and he followed been the closest at the time...the guy grabbed him and threw him against the wall and tried to-..." Jack's free hand clenched into a fist as his anger started to rise at the thought of someone forcing themselves onto his Spence. "He tried to, well y'know, said Spencer looked like a teen and he tried t'...anyway, Morgan shot the guy and blood splattered on Spence." He finished quickly and took a big gulp of his juice.

"He told you all that?" Bobby asked, sounding a little surprised.

"Yeah." Jack snapped.

"Sorry, geez calm down. I just thought he'd o' made something up instead o' telling you that." Bobby explained.

"Oh, sorry." Jack said quietly. "We don't keep secrets...and I can tell when he's lying, so it would've been useless." He added.

Bobby smiled softly at Jack. "He okay though?" Jack nodded. "Good..." He said to Jack...and saw something flash in his brother's eyes, it was a sad emotion but it was more than that. Bobby couldn't place it. "Jackie, what's wrong?"

Jack blinked and shook his head. "What? Oh, nothing. 'M fine." He said quietly and sat down at the table next to Bobby.

Bobby nodded; he wanted to know what was wrong with Jack, but he didn't want to push his baby brother into a corner. "So...the kids staying at the weekend? I assume Spencer ain't gonna want t' let the kids stay off school."

Jack chuckled lightly. "Yeah, they'll probably been staying then..." He paused and looked away for a moment before looking back to his brother. "Hey, Bobby?"

"Yeah?"

"Why did you say you'd watch the kids for us?" Jack asked.

Bobby shrugged. "Don' know really...just yesterday you sounded like you were a little down and then Spencer came in covered in blood..." He shrugged again. "Just thought you both could do with a little break."

Jack stared at Bobby and smiled. "Thanks, Bobby."

Bobby stood from his chair and shoved his bowl into the sink and then ruffled Jack's hair. "No problem kid." He left the kitchen and as he walked up the stairs Jack could hear him say, "Mornin' sleeping beauty, fairy's in the kitchen."

Jack smirked as he heard Spencer mumble, "I am not sleeping beauty." Spencer continued down the stairs and walked into the kitchen. "Hey..." He said quietly, sleep still obvious in his voice.

Jack smiled widely up at Spencer as the older man moved to stand next to him. "Morning." He straightened up and pulled Spencer down to him, pressing their lips together in a quick kiss. "You still tired?"

Spencer answered him by yawning loudly. "A little." He smiled.

"So why'd you get up?"

Spencer shrugged. "I don't know."

"You couldn't sleep, could you?"

Spencer sat down next to Jack and frowned at him half-heartedly. "I was sleeping fine until someone decided to get up and leave me."

Jack grinned. "You could o' come and got me...I'd of come back to bed." He leaned forward and pressed his lips to Spencer's, then to his cheek, then to lead a line down his neck.

"'M gonna throw up." Bobby mumbled as he walked into the kitchen.

"Mamma!" Evelyn squealed happily as she ran into the kitchen.

Spencer turned away from Jack to look at his little girl running to him. She came to a stop at the back of his chair and smiled up at him. "Hey, sweetie." He said and stroked her little cheek.

"Hi Mamma...when did you get back?" She asked and then she shook her head. "Jason was upset because you were away again."

Spencer smiled sadly. "Sorry. Where is he, anyway?" He watched his daughter look over her shoulder towards the hallway...Jason was standing at the bottom of the stairs looking down at the floor. He stood from his chair and put Evelyn on his seat before walking down the hall and sat down in front of his son. "Hey baby, you okay?"

Jason looked up at him and just stared, not saying anything.

Spencer used his hands to cup his son's little face. "Come on, talk to me." He looked at Jason and realised he wasn't going to get the young boy to speak like this. "And I thought you missed me..." He could see the change on Jason's face immediately.

"I did!" Jason yelled. "I did, I did!" He threw himself at his Mom, wrapping his arms around his neck. "I did!" Jason sobbed into his shoulder.

Spencer smiled. "I know you did." He said soothingly as he rubbed at his son's back and held him close.

Bobby punched Jack's shoulder. "That boyfriend o' yours is evil."


Spencer was leaning against the doorframe, looking out watching Jason and Evelyn run about in the backyard of Bobby's house. He had a small smile on his face as he watched his children; it had been a while since he had last been with his family on a weekend, instead of just the weeknights when he and the team had wrapped cases up.

He loved his children and Jack more than anything in the entire world...but he was glad he was still able to work at the bureau. He knew from experience that he couldn't live without his job; that had been proved when he had had to take only a few weeks off after his ordeal with Tobias Hankel, it had practically driven him crazy. Although he knew his job was as important to him as breathing was...he wished he could spend more time at home with Jason and Evelyn and Jack.

"Hey, Momma you see that?" Jason yelled animatedly, his arms waving about as he pointed to Evelyn.

Spencer shook his head. "No, I missed it. What happened?"

"Eve! Eve, do it again! Momma missed it!" He yelled loudly to his sister, who was at the bottom of the garden.

"Kay!" Evelyn said smiling widely. She stood facing the fence at the bottom of the garden, her arms out stretched at her sides. Spencer watched as she moved quickly onto her right hand and then onto her left and then fell onto the grass on her side. "Did you see Mamma, did you see my cartwheel?" She asked as she scrambled unsteadily to her feet.

Spencer laughed lightly but happily as he clapped his hands together. "That was great, Evelyn!" He gasped and stopped his clapping as he felt someone's arms wind around his waist and pull him back into their body. "Jackie, you just missed your daughter's first cartwheel." He smiled looking over his shoulder at his lover.

"Nah, I saw her through the window." He said matter-of-factly. He placed his chin on Spencer's shoulder. "Hey, Spence...?" Jack started. He kissed Spencer's shirt covered shoulder and then rested his forehead there.

"Yeah?"

"I've been thinking..." Jack started; he kissed the back of Spencer's shoulder before resting his head back on the top of his shoulder. "We're okay, right? We love each other, we're okay in the money department, we're doin' far more than okay in the sex department –well, when we actually manage to have it-, and our kids are amazing..." He paused to kiss his lover's shoulder again. "They're smart, funny, loving and loved and well looked after by us, my brother's and your team...right?"

Spencer nodded; even though he was slightly confused by where Jack was going with this. "Yes. Jack, I already know all of that...so, where are you going with this?"

Jack tightened his grip on Spencer's waist, pulling the older but shorter man further against him. "I was thinking...we should...maybe...y'know if you want...have another?" He asked uncertainly –with each word he spoke his voice became quieter and quieter. This had been playing on his mind for a while now and he really wanted Spencer's answer to be the one he wanted...but he'd understand if Spencer didn't want to, after all, Spencer would be the one who would have to carry the baby around for nine months.

Spencer was shocked. He liked the idea of having another child...but...he didn't understand why Jack was bringing this up all of a sudden. He turned his head slightly to look at Jack, but his head was still on his shoulder, so all he could see was styled messy blond hair. "Erm, Jackie...why...so suddenly?"

Jack's grip tightened again, but the palm of his left hand pressed flat against Spencer's flat stomach. "I've been thinking 'bout it for a while. I don' know really." He said sort of shakily.

Spencer smiled suddenly at the thought of having another baby...another child that would be his and Jack's. His smile slowly faded as it dawned on him. "Jackie, as...as lovely as having another baby sounds...we've been having sex since the twins were born, and not once have we used any sort of protection whatsoever...and not once have I even felt sick, never mind turned out to be pregnant." He said as softly as he could...he didn't want to hurt Jack's feelings.

"Well, yeah...but that doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. We just need to practice more." Jack smiled and pulled Spencer harder against him, making sure his older partner could feel his groin against his bum.

Spencer gasped and then laughed. He turned around in Jack's arms. "I guess practicing couldn't hurt...and if I do end up falling pregnant...that'll be a plus, right?"

Jack smiled widely and happily. "That'd be a huge, awesome plus!" He used his right hand to cup Spencer's neck and pull him closer, pressing their lips together as his left hand moved down to his bum, pushing his lower half closer to his own so their groins pressed together hard. Just as their kiss was starting to deepen, Jack pulled away as he felt a hand smack the back of his head. "Bobby!" He snapped as he looked at his older brother.

"Y'know why I said I'd watch the kids...and yet you're still tryin' t' fuck in my house!"

"We were not trying to fuck! We were just kissing for cryin' out loud!"

"Geez, Jackie, chill out. I was only kiddin'." Bobby laughed as he ruffled Jack's blond hair...his laugh deepened as he realised Spencer's cheeks were bright red.

"Hey, Mamma, Daddy, you too Uncle Bobby, come play!" Evelyn shouted from the garden, holding a football in her small hands.

"Yeah, c'mon! I'll kick all y' ass'!" Jason yelled.

"Jason!" Spencer shouted in a scolding tone.

"Oh, will you now? I don't think so, you lil' brat!" Bobby said, laughing as he followed Jack out of the house. As soon as they were on the grass they both went for the kids; Jack ran for Evelyn and Bobby for Jason. Both of the kids were caught off guard; Bobby playfully and carefully tackled Jason to the floor and Jack lifted Evelyn from the ground and spun her around in the air.

Spencer laughed and he smiled at the scene before him as he sat down onto the steps in front of the back door.
