Everyone was out in the living room while Spencer was on the floor with Henry. Tomorrow he was leaving for Vegas. He grabbed the little boy who was playing with his toys and pulled him on his lap. He didn't want to leave his godson. He didn't want to leave any of them. Henry looked up at the man.

"Spenner." He said and Spencer smiled, pulling the boy closer.

"I know that you're too young to understand any of what I'm about to say to you, but we need to talk."

"You talk." Henry said and nodded.

"Yeah, I talk. I'm going to go awhile for a while. I got to go to work in Vegas."

"Bye bye."

"No, not right now, buddy. Tomorrow. I go "bye-bye" tomorrow, but you can come see me. and I'll visit you. I'm not going away forever. I would never leave you for twenty years, I swear."

Henry rested his head on Spenner's chest. Unknowing to either, Garcia had entered the room, watching. She didn't want to interrupt, plus she knew Spencer needed this.

"You can call me whenever you want and I'll answer, I swear. If you're hurt or you're upset or you need me. If you need me, I'll get on a plane and be here as soon as I can."

Garcia leaned her head against the door frame, her heart breaking. She knew that the man loved Henry more than anyone in this world. He probably loved Henry as much as JJ and Will loved the little boy. She knew that he was feeling guilty. She pushed away from the door, moving towards the man, who looked like he was about to cry, and the boy, who was enjoying being held by his uncle Spencer. She rested her hand on Spencer's shoulder.

"You're not your father, Reid."

Spencer sniffed a little. "I don't want to leave him, Penelope."

She sat next to him, wrapping her arm around his shoulders. He leaned against her, resting his head on her shoulder. Henry looked up.

"Spenner sad."

Garcia nodded. "Spencer doesn't want to go, buddy."

"No go." Henry said, looking up at him with a sad look and she swore she heard Reid's heart crack into two. She squeezed his shoulder.

"Spencer has to go, buddy. He got to go to work. He's going to go see his mommy too."

"Mommy?" He asked, looking at Spencer who couldn't look at the boy. Henry nodded. "O-tay."

"It's okay for him to go."

"Yeah, o-tay."

Garcia looked at Spencer, who looked up. Penelope smiled. "And he'll call you and read you your books!"

Henry's eyes widened. "the sea!"

Spencer smiled. "Yeah, buddy. Tennyson."

Garcia rolled her eyes. "Come on, you two little nerds, this is a party."

Spencer cleared his throat before wiping his eyes. "Yeah, let's go see Mommy, Henry."

He stood up and reached out for the boy, who grabbed his hand. Henry lead him out.

"Go, Penny!" Henry said, looking back at Penelope.

"I'm coming." She said, watching the two. She would make sure that Spencer got to spend time with Henry, even if she had to come over to JJ's house daily with a webcam. She looked around the room. She wondered if Will and Jayje would let her install a camera in here. She shrugged, another time. She followed the two out and saw Henry run up to his mommy.

"Spenner go, it okay." Henry rolled. "He sad."

JJ looked at the boy. He was only a year and a half, and yet he was able to hold a conversation. He was spending way too much time with Reid. "He's sad that he has to go?"

Henry nodded. "I say it okay."

JJ looked at Spencer and frowned a little. His eyes were red. Had he been crying? She didn't say anything, turning back to Henry. "Did that make him feel better?"

Henry nodded, before wiggling, signalling he wanted down. "I see Derrr!"

"Okay, okay." JJ sat him down before looking at Reid.

"Can we talk...privately?" She asked. Spencer looked at Will, who was watching them. He nodded.

"Henry's room?" Spencer asked and JJ started walking that way. She closed the door after Spencer entered.

"Are you okay? You looked really upset."

Spencer shrugged. "I just don't want to go."

"Spence." JJ said, moving closer to him. Her hand went to his arm and Spencer looked at it. SHe was touching him. He always enjoyed her touches. He'd be in Vegas tomorrow and he'd never feel her fingertips on him again.

"I don't want to leave him. I don't want to leave-"

"Spencer... you're not walking away from anyone because you want to. We'll come visit as soon as we can."

"Next weekend?" He asked, his voice extremely hopeful.

JJ smiled. Even after everything that has happened to him, he had such a childish look in his eyes when he was hopeful. It was something about him, that was just...She couldn't explain it.

"We'll see. If not next week, some time within the month. You need time to get situated, get to know your team."

Spencer frowned. "You're my team. You and Morgan, Emily, Hotch and Rossi."

She leaned forward and brushed her lips against his forehead. "We're more than a team, Spence. We're family. We're not going to go away because you're going to Vegas."

He looked at her. She was really close. He could smell her - what an amazing scent. His eyes fell to her lips. She seemed to notice, her lips parting, a small blush rising in her cheeks.

"Spencer.." She said, softly.

He leaned in a little more, their lips barely touching when Henry ran back in.

"Food ready! Come on, Spenner! Mommy!"

Spencer pulled back as if he had been burnt. "We're coming, Henry."

JJ nodded before looking at the kid. "We're coming, baby."
