"So," she asked as she turned to face Spence and undid his tie after closing the bedroom door, "how are you?"
"Better now" Spence replied as his fingers gripped his girlfriend's waist. "But the case… it was a rough one. The unsub turned out to be having visions and hallucinations… we gave the profile as him being a schizophrenic… I had a headache the whole case… JJ, I feel like I'm falling apart. I can't focus on the cases… I finally managed to get some sleep on the jet… but the case has me thinking… what if the doctors are right. What if there isn't anything physically wrong with me?" he asked his voice breaking with every word, at the very thought of his mind succumbing to a betrayal of itself.
"Baby," JJ said with tears in her eyes as she listened to Spence, heard his voice crack with emotion, and saw the terror in his eyes at the thought that someday he could be that unsub, plagued with voices, visions, and hallucinations all set on betraying who he was as a person, "we'll figure this out. One way or another, we'll figure this out. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere." She said as she wrapped her arms tightly around Spence's waist and ran her hands up and down his back.
"We'll get through this together, baby. I promise." JJ said as she leaned up to kiss him. "I know you slept on the jet… but you're still exhausted, so let's get you to bed." JJ said as she untucked his shirt and began to unbutton it.
Spence nodded his head and then rested his forehead on JJ's head at the comforting feel of JJ undressing him. Then he cleared his throat at the feel of JJ's nimble fingers on his belt buckle.
"Well hello" JJ murmured and tipped her head back to kiss Spence as her fingers lowered the zipper of his pants and she felt his erection pressing against her fingers and cupped it in her hand.
Spence groaned at the feeling of JJ's fingers pressing against him and suddenly he wasn't so tired anymore. After all he'd had a nap on the jet and a nap while reading to Henry; that would hold him over for a while, right? "JJ" he whined, burying his face in her neck as she pulled her hand away from his pants.
"Spence, baby," JJ moaned as Spence buried his face in her neck. His hands settled on her hips, guiding her, as he walked her backwards towards the bed.
Spence groaned into JJ's neck as her hands slid up his torso and peeled his shirt down his shoulders and arms. His hands momentarily left his girlfriend's hip as he shook his arms free from his shirt sleeves. "Mm, JJ…" he groaned as his arms wrapped back around her, his hands settling on her lower back and sliding up underneath her t-shirt.
"Spence, god baby" JJ groaned. Her hands slid down into the back of her boyfriend's pants gripping his ass as she arched against him, her belly pressing into his groin.
Spence planted kisses along JJ's neck as his hands slid up her back, dragging the soft cotton of her t-shirt across the soft silkiness of her skin as his fingers trailed over the contours of her back. He paused as his hands reached the band and clasp of JJ's bra. His fingers lightly traced the lower edge of the satin and lace. Then he unclasped her bra, his fingers tracking over the newly exposed flesh of his girlfriend's back and shoulder blades briefly before he caught the material of JJ's bra in his grasp with the material of her t-shirt and continued inching his hands up her back. Then he lifted his head to be able to watch as he removed her shirt.
JJ winked at Spence as she removed her hands from his pants and lifted her arms over her head as he pulled her bra and t-shirt off over her head. She shook her head, freeing her hair from the neck of her t-shirt as it cleared her head. Then she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's shoulders, enjoying the feeling of her breasts pressed against her boyfriend's naked chest.
Spence tossed her t-shirt and bra off to the side and raised a hand to cup JJ's jaw, his thumb traced her cheek as he looked down at the woman he loved, still in awe that he was allowed to touch her like this. "JJ, you are so beautiful." He whispered as his thumb continued to stroke across her cheek bone. "I love you." he said as he leaned down resting his forehead on JJ's.
"I love you too baby." JJ murmured in reply as she tipped her head back and captured Spence's lips in a kiss. She sucked on his bottom lip and pulled at it lightly with her teeth. Her hands slipped down from his shoulders and down the expanse of his back; her fingernails drug along the line of his spine. The tips of her fingers slid into the waistband of his boxers. Her thumbs stroked over his hip bones while her fingers gripped and rubbed his lower back.
Spence tipped his head as he deepened the kiss. His tongue traced JJ's teeth as it slipped in her mouth then he slipped his tongue along the sensitive skin on the roof of her mouth.
JJ lifted her hand and tangled her fingers in the hair at the nape of Spence's neck as their tongues tangled passionately. She gasped as Spence's hand slid down her back, across her ass, down her thigh to the back of her knee, and Spence hitched her thigh up on his hip and dipped her backwards over the bed and then dropped her. She giggled as she bounced on the bed.
Spence crawled onto the bed and hovered above her. He braced himself on one arm as he leaned over her. His free hand spanned her hip, tracing the waistband of her yoga pants where they rested low across her hips and belly. "Does that feel good?" Spence whispered as JJ squirmed under his touch.
"Yes" JJ moaned as Spence's thumb continued to trace the rim of her belly button in slow gentle circles causing her hips to twitch. JJ reached up and wrapped her arms around Spence pulling him down on top of her. "Hi" she murmured as she leaned up to kiss him while her hands skimmed down his sides and into the waistband of his open pants and dragged them off his hips along with his boxers.
Spence pulled out of the kiss as he felt JJ's fingernails scratching along his thighs while her hands slid back up to his hips. He leaned down and started kissing his way across her shoulder and then buried his face in her neck as her hand cupped him, skin against skin.
"JJ" Spence moaned into her neck as his hips thrust into her grip as he kicked his legs free of his pants and boxers. Once his legs were free, he rose up on his knees, his hands resting on JJ's hips. His thumbs traced the waistband of JJ's yoga pants while his fingers gripped her hips.
JJ moaned and bit her lip as her hips twitched and lifted off of the bed.
As JJ's hips rose off the bed, Spence hooked his fingers into JJ's pants and pulled down, his fingers lightly skimming along her hips and thighs, teasing her sensitive skin as he pulled the light cotton fabric slowly down her thighs. He tossed her yoga pants off to the side of the bed as he pulled them off past her feet, lowered her feet back to the bed, and lay down next to her.
JJ twisted onto her side and reached out with her foot, sliding it up Spence's calf as she wrapped an arm around him, sliding her hand across his hip and up his back as she moved closer and rubbed against him.
Spence's hand wrapped around his girlfriend's thigh as her toes trailed up his leg. He massaged her slim toned thigh as her toes crept ever higher, teasing the back of his knee. His hand slid higher on JJ's thigh and then he caught the bend of her knee in the crook of his elbow.
JJ gasped as the new angle completely exposed her to Spence and his hard length pressed against her as he rolled her onto her back.
Spence held JJ close as he rolled with her and then nuzzled into the silky soft skin of her neck, kissing his way from her collar bone to her just below her ear.
JJ moaned and arched her back, her hips bucked against Spence as he wiggled his hips where they were nestled against her exposed center.
"You amaze me." Spence said as he rested his sweaty brow against JJ's as he gently lowered her leg from his chest to rest beside them, messaging it gently to avoid her getting a Charlie horse.
JJ smiled widely at Spence and squeezed her internal muscles around Spence as he relaxed into the cradle of her thighs as they enjoyed the closeness of the moment. "No more than you amaze me baby." JJ said as she lifted her hand and brushed her boyfriend's sweaty bangs back from his brow. "How's your head feel?"
"No headache right now." Spence murmured as he leaned down to kiss her and shifted his hips, pressing into JJ further.
JJ's eyes went wide as she realized that the night was far from over. Then she smirked as she hooked her leg behind Spence's and flipped them over so that she was now on top. She grinned as she leaned down and kissed Spence preparing to start round two.
JJ sank down next to Spence on the couch where he was sitting with a notepad and pen in hand. "What are you working on?"
"Hm?" Spence murmured as he looked up at JJ. "Oh… Hotch let us know that Strauss ordered our assessments, so I'm trying to figure out what to say."
JJ winced, feeling for the team even though they'd all known that this was coming. "Why don't you just be honest about what you're feeling?" she asked.
Spence turned to look at his girlfriend with a confused look on his face. "How exactly do I do that when well…" he trailed off the rest of his statement about Emily not really being dead implied rather than blatantly stated.
JJ wrapped her arms around one of Spence's as she curled up next to him and rubbed her thumb across the backside of his hand. "Just share what you feel about Emily not being here… It's okay to feel things baby… So just talk to Hotch about what you're feeling. He'll understand."
Spence nodded and leaned down to kiss the top of JJ's head. Then he smiled as Henry stood up from where he was playing and walked over to stand in front of them.
"Unca 'pence you sad?" Henry asked as he leaned against Mommy and Uncle Spence's knees.
"A little bit buddy. I miss Emily." Spence said as he looked down at his godson.
"Oh" Henry nodded then he turned to look at Mommy. "I miss Aun' Emmy too." He said as he attempted to climb up into Mommy's lap.
"You do?" JJ asked as she lifted Henry up and sat him in her lap so that he could see Spence.
"Uh huh. Her nice. Why her has to goes away?" Henry asked innocently.
JJ drew a deep breath. She'd been hoping to avoid telling too much to Henry. She didn't want to confuse him by explaining that his Aunt Emily was dead and then her coming back later. God forbid anything should happen to any of them while Henry was still young, she didn't want him confused and thinking that people got to come back after they were dead. She took another deep breath.
"Henry, baby do you remember when you fell down and got an owie on your knee?" Mommy asked gently as she looked down at Henry and brushed his bangs back out of his face.
Henry nodded his little blonde head, remembering all too well when he'd slipped and fallen on the driveway and scrapped his knee.
"Do you remember how much it hurt?" Mommy asked.
"Uh huh. I cwy den you kiss it make it better Mama." Henry replied.
JJ smiled. "You're right. I did. And we put some medicine and a band-aide on it too right?"
Henry nodded again.
JJ ran her fingers through Henry's soft baby fine locks. "Baby, Aunt Emily got an owie but it was bigger than what a band-aide could fix so she had to go away." She explained, hoping that she was answering Henry's question but being vague enough that if he were to repeat anything that it would be passed off as being the explanation for a two year old.
"Aun' Emmy's Mama an Dada no kiss it make it better?" Henry asked innocently as he looked up at Mommy and Uncle Spence from beneath his bangs.
Spence swallowed a lump in his throat as he watched JJ attempt to navigate the landmine of questions that a two year old could ask about death when the person involved wasn't dead.
"Not this time baby." JJ replied sadly, not wanting to disrupt her young son's illusion that kisses from Mommy and Daddy could fix everything.
"Oh… Unca 'pence you magic her betters?" Henry asked as he looked at Spence.
"You want me to use magic to make Aunt Emily better?" Spence asked.
"Uh huh… you do it and Aun' Emmy tome home." Henry said nodding.
Spence swallowed thickly moved by Henry's faith in him as he twisted in his seat and wrapped an arm around JJ and Henry. "I wish I could buddy, but magic doesn't work like that…" he said as he glanced up and met JJ's eyes, "… but I can show you a couple other magic tricks that are pretty cool. Did you know Mommy has quarters in her ear?" he asked as he looked back at Henry.
Henry giggled and turned to look up at Mommy. "Mama you has quarters in you ears?" he asked.
"I don't think so Henry, but something tells me Uncle Spence is going to show us that I do."
"Okay, watch close okay Henry." Spence said as he looked at Henry and then winked at JJ. He reached up to JJ's ear and pulled a coin from behind it and held it out to Henry.
Henry's eyes grew wide. "Do adain Unca 'pence!"
"Well let's see here…" Spence said as he lifted his hand to Henry's ear. "Wow Henry… look at this." Spence said as he pulled four quarters in quick succession from behind Henry's ear.
Henry giggled as Uncle Spence dropped the coins in his hand. JJ smiled at Spence as he continued using magic to entertain Henry and distract them all from missing Emily.
"Hey pretty boy, you okay?" Morgan asked as Reid descended the stairway from the mezzanine level after exiting Hotch's office.
Reid cleared his throat in an attempt to mask the pent up emotions that he'd allowed to be unearthed in his assessment with Hotch. He'd taken JJ's advice and let Hotch know how he was feeling about losing Emily. She might not be dead, but they'd still lost her. "Yeah" Reid replied his voice cracking with emotion as he slipped behind his desk and into his seat.
Garcia smiled sadly at Reid from her seat on Morgan's old desk where he currently seated as they waited for everyone to finish up with their assessments. She could relate having had her assessment just prior to Reid's… although she'd refused to discuss her feelings about 'losing' Emily. Instead she'd preferred to discuss happy memories of times with Emily. She glanced over her shoulder at Morgan and smiled attempting to cheer up the sullen man.
Morgan was still insisting on carrying the burden of Emily's 'loss' on his shoulders alone. He vacillated between anger and guilt… he was glad that Emily was still alive, but he continued to wonder what would have happened if he'd been able to get there just a bit sooner… if they'd known from the get go just what Emily was involved in… He was working through his emotions, but it was going to take time.
Rossi stepped out of his office with a bottle of scotch in hand and walked through the bullpen. He paused to clap Morgan on the shoulder and nod at Reid. He smiled wanly at Garcia. "Why don't you all go ahead and get out of here for the day? Who knows when our next case will come in?"
Morgan nodded and then turned to look up at Garcia. "How about a drink baby girl?" he asked as he stood from the desk.
"I could definitely use a drink my chocolate god." Garcia said as she stood up from the desk. "I just need to put my babies to bed for the night and then I'm ready to go." She said as she headed back to her lair.
Morgan paused on his way back to his office to get his leather jacket. "How about you pretty boy? Up for a drink?"
Reid shook his head as he glanced down at his watch. "No, I think bedtime stories sounds like a much better idea."
"Not to mention bedtime with JJ after you read Henry stories." Morgan said with a wiggle of his eyebrows.
Reid blushed and Morgan laughed.
"Alright Reid, you're off the hook for tonight man, but we're going to have a team outing of some sort in the next week and your presence is expected. You can invite JJ once Garcia decides what we're all going to do." Morgan said with a smile.
"I'll let JJ know." Reid replied. "Have a good night."
"You too pretty boy." Morgan tossed over his shoulder from the top of the stairs as he headed for his office.
A weary exhausted BAU team boarded the jet to head home from Tampa Bay Florida. The case weighed heavy on all of their thoughts. The case started with the urgency to catch the unsub who'd started the day by killing four men in a gun shop. Heartbreakingly, their unsub turned out to be a woman who'd lost her son a year ago to the day on his birthday.
They all sank quietly into their seats each lost in their own thoughts as the jet sped down the runway and lifted off.
Morgan kept hearing Hotch's words to Shelley Chamberlain over and over again in his head.
"Believe me everyone who tried to save him that day isn't going to forget. It's the day they failed. They'll ask themselves what they could have done. Could they have gotten here sooner? They'll heal, but it's going to take time. They'll move on, but they won't forget."
And then Hotch was telling Shelley that she needed to stop blaming herself… that it wasn't her fault… and he couldn't help but feel that Hotch had been speaking right at him.
As he lifted his headphone over his head decided that Hotch was right. He had done everything he could… and spending time feeling guilty and angry was time that he wasn't focusing on how they could catch Doyle so Emily could come home.
Seaver sank into her seat and curled up, staring out the window, her thoughts racing. The more cases she saw, the more her black and white view of the world eroded. Ever since her father had been discovered for what he was she always envisioned that there were good guys and bad guys. Now she was realizing that while yes there were truly evil monsters in the world, that wasn't necessarily the story behind every unsub they chased down. Sometimes the unsub was a good person who'd experienced a tragedy and made bad decisions. Sometimes the course of a life turned on a decision made in one split second… one unrecoverable split second.
Then she felt someone sit down next to her. She turned and looked over her shoulder to find Dave sitting next to her and sent him a smile.
"How you holding up kiddo?" Dave asked as he looked at Ashley.
"I'm…okay" Ashley replied.
"You don't sound too sure about that." Dave said as he studied Ashley. "Rough couple of months huh?"
Ashley nodded.
"You know that I'm here if you need to talk, right?" Dave asked.
Ashley nodded again, and then paused for a moment. "We're going to catch him, right? Doyle… we're going to catch him so Emily can come home?"
Dave nodded. "We are… it's going to take some time. We need to wait until we know that Emily is safe before we pursue him… but we will find him."
Hotch sighed deeply as he sank back into his seat on the jet. His eyes wandered over the team where they each sat resting in their seats. He knew just how closely this case had hit to home for the team when he walked out of the restaurant and saw each of their faces. The raw emotion from listening to the open mike was written on their faces as he walked out the doors, but the quickly schooled their emotions behind masks of professionalism in order to finish the case.
It had been a double edged sword for him. Not only was he still just as raw as the team from 'losing' Emily, but the case also brought up his still slightly raw feelings over losing Haley. Looking at Shelley and telling her it wasn't her fault and that the first responders would always see it as the day they failed had brought him right back to racing toward the home he and Haley had shared together and getting there just moments too late. Only in convincing Shelley he had convinced himself… it wasn't his fault… and now he could finally let go of the guilt he'd carried with him for the last year and move on. He could work on fulfilling the promises he made to Haley in their last conversation. And with that thought, he closed his eyes and slept.
Spence sat looking out the window. He could remember exactly how it felt when JJ placed a newborn Henry in his arms and told him that she and Will wanted him to be the baby's godfather. With the way he felt about Henry as a godfather, he couldn't even begin to imagine how absolutely soul wrenching it would be as a parent to lose a child. As he stared out the window of the jet, he hoped he'd never have to find out.
Spence was alone in the bullpen working on getting his after action report written out so that he could give it to Hotch before he left, when he felt a small body crash into his legs and then he heard it giggle. He set his pen down and looked down and smiled at the small blonde haired boy clinging onto his leg.
"Hi Henry. What are you doing here?" Spence said as he lifted the boy up into his lap and then looked up to see JJ standing a ways away in the bullpen smiling at them.
"Henry and I are going to the park to feed the ducks and then for pizza and he wanted to know if Uncle Spence could come with us." JJ said as she walked up next to her boys where they were seated at Spence's desk.
"Wow you like the ducks Henry?" Spence asked as he looked down at his godson.
Henry's little blonde head bobbed up and down. "Uh huh an Mama 'tay dat if we bes kiet dat we maybe see da baby ducks."
Spence nodded. "Mommy's right. You probably will be able to see some baby ducks, but you need to be really quiet so that you don't scare them or their mommies."
Henry nodded. "We bes bery kiet den. You tome wit Unca 'pence?"
Spence glanced down at the completed report on his desk and picked up his pen and with a flourish, signed his name. "I sure can Henry. I just need to go give this to Uncle Hotch and then we can go. Are you and Mommy going to go visit Aunt Penelope and say hi?"
Henry shook his head. "We dood dat aweady. I tome wit you?"
"Okay" Spence replied as he stood up and settled Henry on his hip. "Let's go drop this off and then we can go to the park."
"Okay Henry, let's sit on this bench right here." JJ said as she led Henry and Spence towards a bench.
Henry walked in between Mommy and Uncle Spence holding both their hands as he looked up at Mommy. "But mama, da duckies over dere." He said as he nodded his head towards the large group of ducks and ducklings at the edge of the water.
"I know baby, but if we go any closer we'll scare them. We have to let them come to us." JJ explained as they stopped in front of the bench.
Spence lifted Henry up and sat him on the bench. Then he sat down next to him.
"Hewe duckie, duckie, duckie." Henry called from where he sat in between Mommy and Uncle Spence.
JJ bit her lip to keep from laughing. "Henry, baby the duckies aren't going to come if we call them. We need to feed them." She said as pulled a couple of loafs of bread out of her bag. She opened one of the bags and broke off a chunk, handing it to Spence.
Spence took the bread from JJ and leaned down to Henry. "Okay buddy, the ducks don't have teeth, so we need to break this up into bite size piece for them and then if we toss it out a ways from us, the ducks will come and eat it."
JJ and Spence helped Henry with tearing up the bread and then throwing it out in front of them for the ducks. Within minutes they were swarmed by ducks as the fed.
"Mama wook at all the duckies." Henry said as he looked up at Mommy.
"I see baby. Did you see the baby ducks?" she asked as she leaned down and pointed out several fuzzy baby ducks huddled around the mommy ducks.
"Uh huh" Henry said nodding his head as he looked where Mommy was pointing. "Mama why dey fuzzy?"
"I don't know baby. Spence?" JJ asked as she looked up at Spence over the top of Henry's head.
Spence turned to look at Henry and JJ. "Well buddy, you're wearing a jacket right?"
Henry nodded. "Uh huh"
"Why are you wearing a jacket?" Spence asked.
"Tause Mama tay I has to" Henry replied honestly with wide eyes.
JJ shook her head and smiled as she listened to Henry and Spence.
Spence chuckled. "You're right. Mommy does say you have to wear a jacket, but why do you suppose Mommy makes you wear your jacket?"
Henry shrugged. "I no know."
JJ laughed and reached over to smooth down Henry's hair. "It's still chilly outside baby boy. You'd get cold or sick if you didn't wear your jacket."
"Oh" Henry said. "I no wike dat."
"You're right getting cold or sick is no fun." Spence replied. "That's why the ducklings are fuzzy. They're covered in down that helps keep them warm when they're really little. Then when they get a little bit older they'll lose the fuzzy down that's like a jacket keeping them warm."
"Thanks Spence" JJ said as she smiled at Spence and then leaned over the top of Henry's head to kiss him.
"You're welcome. I… did Garcia tell you anything about our case when you visited her?" Spence asked.
"A little bit." JJ replied as she looked at Spence wondering what was bothering him.
Spence glanced down at Henry and then looked back up to meet JJ's eyes. "I know he isn't mine," Spence said softly as he held out a handful of bread crumbs for Henry to throw to the ducks while he maintained eye contact with JJ, "but, the thought of anything happening to him… I can't imagine what it would be like… but I felt for the unsub as soon as we found out she'd lost her child a year ago to the day on his birthday."
JJ's eyes moistened as she realized what it was about the case that had been bothering her boyfriend. "He might not share DNA with you" JJ answered softly as she ran her fingers through Henry's baby soft hair and smiled as he giggled while he threw bread crumbs to the ducks, "but he's yours in every way that matters baby. He's a lucky little boy. A child can never have too many people that love them."
"Mama?" Henry said as he tipped his head back to look at Mommy.
JJ cleared her throat. "Yeah baby baby?"
"We do det pissa now? I hunry." Henry replied.
"Sure we can go get pizza now." JJ said. "Let's finish feeding the ducks and then we can go." She said as she ripped up the last bit of the bread for Henry to throw to the ducks and held out her hand for him to feed the bread to the ducks.
Spence smiled as he watched Henry throw the last of the bread crumbs to the ducks and then he stood up.
JJ stood up as Henry finished tossing the last of the bread crumbs and then held his hand as he slid down off the bench. "Okay Henry let's go."
"Bye bye duckies." Henry called out waving to the ducks just before he took Uncle Spence's hand. "Mama an Unca Spence you twing me?" Henry asked as he looked back and forth between Mommy and Uncle Spence.
Spence looked at JJ in confusion. He understood what Henry was saying, but he didn't know what it meant.
JJ smiled as she glanced down at Henry. "Sure baby, just a second okay?"
"Uh huh" Henry nodded.
JJ leaned in close to Spence over the top of Henry's head. "He wants us to swing him from our hands. So he holds on and while we're walking he holds up his feet and we swing our arms forward just like a swing. Make sense?"
"Oh" Spence replied in realization. "Yeah, that makes sense."
"Good." JJ replied and then leaned in and kissed Spence with a quick peck. "Now let's go get you boys fed."
JJ and Spence walked away from the park bench with Henry swinging between them as they walked.
"Unca Spence?" Henry asked in between giggles as they made their way to the car.
"Yeah Henry?" Spence replied.
"You hunry?" the little boy asked.
"I am. What kind of pizza should we get?" Spence asked.
"teese" Henry replied.
Spence nodded. "Cheese pizza is pretty good. How about we get half cheese and half pepperoni since that is Mommy's favorite kind?"
Henry turned to look at Mommy. "Mama you wikes pepinimoni?"
JJ giggled and glanced at Spence trying to figure out how he knew that her favorite was pepperoni. "I do."
"Otay Unca 'pence. We gets 'teese an pepinimoni." Henry said with a nod of his head and then giggled as he swung through the air.
"How'd you know pepperoni was my favorite?" JJ asked softly as they continued on to the car.
Spence smiled. "Because before I was your boyfriend, I was your best friend for seven years. Isn't it my job to know what you like?"
JJ smiled. "Trust me baby, you do know what I like." She replied with a quirk of her eyebrow as they reached the car. "I love that, and I love you." she replied leaning over to give Spence a quick kiss as she opened the back door so Henry could climb into his car seat. She smiled at Spence as she pulled away and then leaned into the back seat of the car to help Henry get buckled into his car seat.
