I don't own Criminal Minds.

"Spencer." JJ pulled away gasping. Spencer let her go and backed away.

"God Jayje I am sorry."

"No." she grabbed his hand and pulled him close to her. "Don't apologize I was just shocked." She seen him try to pull away again and she held on tightly. "Good shocked." She cupped his face and kissed him. "I have been wanting to do that for days."

"Oh yeah well I've been wanting to do it for years." Spencer teased. "How about dinner?"

"Dinner sounds great." Jj smiled at him. "How about my car."

"Okay." Spencer agreed. They got into JJ's car and headed towards the nearest restaurant neither of them really caring what it was. As soon as they were seated and had menu's in their hands they looked at each other.

Neither knowing quite what to say. Neither wanting to break the spell they seemed to be under. Neither wanting to wonder if it was real or just because of everything that had been happening recently. The meals were placed down in front of them and still not a word had been spoken between them.

Finally Spencer broke the silence. "JJ I want you to know this has nothing to do with what has been happening recently."

She sighed and looked at him. "I can't say that my feelings are that clear cut." She admitted. "If it wasn't for everything that had happened I am not sure I would have realized that I like you in that way." He seemed a bit crestfallen so she hastened to add. "I think always in the back of my heart and mind it's been there but this was the push I needed. She took his hand across the table. "Can we make this work with life and everything else?"

"We can make it work." He squeezed her hand. We have to be quite about it because we can't actually date but the team they can know. They are good at keeping secrets what's one more?" Spencer joked. Though he was very serious about the secrecy their relationship would have to live under.

"You're right. Strauss would have a cow if she found out just like she would if she found out your true parentage." JJ sighed. She looked down at her food eating it and thinking of what this might mean for their future.

When they were finished and the bill was paid JJ smiled. "Why don't we go to my house I can drive us in the morning."

"I don't have a go bag with me." Spencer pointed out.

"We can stop by your place and get some clothes."

"Okay." With that the couple got up and left heading towards Spencer's where he quickly gathered up some clothes and then they were off to JJ's.

As the younger couple embarked on a new phase of their life Aaron found himself at Haley's once again. He knocked on the door and waited wondering what she would say. She opened the door surprise on her face.

"Aaron," she stepped aside come inside. Jack is with Jess right now sorry."

"Oh no I came to talk to you about Spencer."

"Oh is everything already." Haley settled herself on the couch."

"Yes everything is fine. I mean he still isn't really speaking to me but besides that yes."

"He says he's not good with father's. I don't know what that really means but he says he doesn't hate or resent either of us and he forgave me so I am thinking he forgives you too." Haley said trying to put her ex husbands mind to rest.

"I just…" Aaron shook his head. "I love him and I wish he would talk to me."

"He will eventually he needs to separate boss Hotch from dad Aaron."

"Yeah I guess." Aaron sighed. "Thanks for listening Hals and give Jack a kiss for me." He got up and leaned down kissing her cheek.

"Any time Aaron we share two sons that will always bond us together." She watched him go and let one tiny tear slip down her cheek
