Spencer laid in bed, talking on the phone. Ryan was... He didn't know what Ryan was doing.

"You went in the potty?" He asked, getting comfortable.

"Uh huh. Mommy say I big boy now. "

"You're a very big boy, buddy."

"Why do you call me buddy and Papa call me little man?"

"There just terms of endearment. Doesn't Papa call your mommy anything?"

"Mmmmh. uh huh. He says I love you sweetie. But not today. Daddy, he sad. Why?"

Spencer licked his bottom lip, seeing Ryan enter in one of his shirts. He frowned at Henry's question. What was he supposed to tell him?

"Ahh... Sometimes...grown ups make...uh... Papa is...welll..." He sighed. "It's hard to explain, Henry."

"But I smart."

"You are smart, buddy, I know that. It's not about me not being able to explain it to you. It's just something you shouldn't know about right now."

"Mommy say that I'm not old enough to know about things. Is that why? I too young?"

"Yeah, Henry. You're way too young to know that. Your papa loves you very much though and I'm sure that he'll be okay soon. Sometimes grown ups just get a little sad, but we get better too."

"He come home too? I miss him."

Spencer closed his eyes as Ryan got into bed, laying her head on his chest.

"I hope he comes home soon too."

Ryan looked up at him, rubbing his chest.

"Can you talk to him. You friends."

"I don't think that's a good idea, Henry."

"But..but.." Henry whimpered.

"Okay, okay. I'll call him tomorrow but it's time to go to bed now, Henry."

"You call after I sleep?"

"Tomorrow, buddy."

Henry sighed. "Okay. The sea story."

Spencer recited the story to him until he fell asleep and hung up. He rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Ryan looked up at him. "What's wrong?"

"Henry misses Will. The only reason Will is gone because I was selfish."

"Well... are you really going to call him tomorrow?"

"I told Henry I was." Spencer said and looked at her. "Can't lie to my son."

Ryan leaned up and kissed him. "You're a good man, Spencer. You made a mistake, and you're trying to fix it. You're nothing like your father."

He smiled, kissing her forehead. "Thank you."

She smiled. "Now go to bed."

He slightly pouted. "We were supposed to celebrate."

"You have your sexy girlfriend in nothing more than your shirt in your bed and you're not celebrating?"

He chuckled. "In a sense."

"Oh, the Doctor assumed he was getting something, huh?"

"Well you are my girlfriend now."

Ryan grinned. "Yeah, but you got to wake up early tomorrow, being the boss and all. I wouldn't want to get 'reprimanded.'"

He rolled his eyes. "You're horrible."

"Good night, Spencer."

Spencer woke up to his phone ringing.

"Reid." He muttered, looking at his clock. It was 5 am, Jesus.

"Dr. Reid? This is Section Chief Krandall."

Spencer sat up. "Sir... Hello, I.. uh.. I was...just on my way to the office."

Krandall laughed. "You were. Dr., It's only 5 am."

"Yes sir, but you.."

"I was just informing you that I would be there today around nine, if that would be okay. Your team isn't going out on a case today."

"No sir. Agent Black and DiMario were going to UNLV to speak about the BAU."

"Good, good. It's very good for the FBI to have agents go out and recruit. Isn't that what Jason Gideon did with you?"

"Yes sir. Jason Gideon and Derek Morgan came to Georgetown while I was getting my Psychology degree there."

"Yes, yes. All your degrees. Hotchner was telling me you just recently got your ninth degree?"

"Fourth subject degree, but yes, sir. If you count the bachelor's degrees to my doctorates, I have nine, sir."

"Could barely get through my one." Krandall chuckled.

"The first is always the most difficult, sir. Well, mine wasn't because I got it in Mathematics and I'm... I... You don't really care about that, do you, sir."

Krandall laughed. "Strauss did say you were kind of mousy."

Spencer frowned. "uh..Yes sir?"

"I'll see you at nine, Agent Reid."

"Yes sir. Nine."

He hung up the phone and leaned back to the bed. Ryan snuggled up to him, her lips against her neck.

"If you said sir one more time, I would have strangled you." She muttered. "Your boss?"

"Krandall."

"Mmh. Go back to bed." She muttered, nuzzling his neck.

"I've got to get to work."

Ryan whined. "It's too early. You can snuggle."

He kissed her forehead. "You can continue to sleep. I'll leave you a key. Don't be late today."

She grunted, burying her face into the pillow after he moved. "Yes, sir."

He grabbed the pillow and tossed it at her, a little chuckle coming from the bed as he made his way to the bathroom.

Ryan made her way into the BAU to see Jason and Elle talking. Grey looked up and smiled.

"You look happy."

"My boyfriend made me breakfast. Okay, so he went and got fruit and cut it up, but still...it was cute."

"Your boyfriend?" Jason asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Mr. Incredible." Elle said, rolling her eyes. Jason chuckled.

"You guys call her boyfriend 'Mr. Incredible'? What's his name, I'll look him up. Make sure he's not some ex con."

Ryan licked her lips. "He..He isn't, He's a... He's a Doctor."

"A Doctor, hmm? Where'd he go to medical school?"

Spencer came out of his office, looking at them. He saw Jason and frowned.

"What are you doing up here? The Section Chief is coming today and we have to... we need to be busy!"

Ryan was amused. "It's okay, Reid. We were just...It's not even eight yet."

Spencer looked up at the clock. it was 15 till. He sighed. "Okay. What are you talking about?"

"Dr. Incredible." Elle said, looking up at him. He looked at Ryan.

"He's a Doctor now?" He asked and she grinned.

"He's always been a Doctor. I just never said anything."

"Who's a doctor?" DiMario asked, coming in and setting his bag down.

"Ryan's boyfriend." Spencer said. "Why are you here. You're supposed to be at UNLV."

"At 10. Was I not supposed to come in today?" Will asked, "Because I can totally go get a few more hours of sleep."

"No, Right. 10."

"Reid's a little stressed out. Krandall is coming."

DiMario sat down and nodded. "Krandall's pretty chill. He's like...that old guy from Law and Order. Except he's black. You'll be fine."

"What's Law and Order?"

Elle rolled her eyes. "Really, Reid?"

Ryan chuckled. "Reid doesn't have a tv."

Grey raised an eyebrow. "How do you know that?"

Ryan rolled her eyes. "I took the files over to his house when JJ was here, remember?"

Elle looked at her. "Was that before or after you kissed him?"
