JJ rushed into the man's hotel room to see Spencer holding a towel up to his nose and Will looking down at him with a busted lip.

"What the hell happened and where's my son?" JJ demanded.

Will continued to glare at the man. "He's fine."

"He's not fine! He's been staying with.., this... this alcoholic! for an estimate of 80 hours a week! While he drinks and says inappropriate things to my son!"

"He's my son!"

"He's complied of my and JJ's genetic material. You have no.."

"Finish the sentence and you'll have more than a bloody nose, you inconsiderate little-"

"Where's my son?" JJ demanded again, louder.

"He's next door." Will and Spencer said, glaring at each other.

JJ rushed to go get them.

"Did you bust his lip?" Ryan asked, looking at Spencer.

"I think I broke my hand." Spencer muttered. Will rolled his eyes as Ryan grabbed the man's hand, looking at it. Spencer made a sound of pain.

"He's a wimp. He couldn't do anything anyways. It was a lucky shot because he caught me off guard."

JJ came back with Henry on her hip. Spencer looked at the two. He stood up and grabbed the boy. He looked at her.

"I don't want him around my son." He basically growled. "I'm taking him to Vegas with me until you get your life situated."

"Spencer."

"He's my son, JJ! He's my son and I won't let him grow up... He won't be like me."

JJ bit her tongue. Henry looked in between his mom and dad and back at Ms. Ryan and his papa, He was confused and he frowned.

"I go with Daddy?"

"No." JJ said.

"Yes." Spencer said.

"You don't have a ... You don't have anything-"

"I want to go with Daddy."

JJ looked hurt. "What?"

"I go to Vegas with Daddy." Henry nodded.

Spencer looked at JJ before looking at Henry. "You do?"

"Papa and Mommy need to get better. I go with Daddy."

JJ shook her head. "No."

Henry shook his head. "Mommy. I go."

Ryan looked between the two. "Maybe we should discuss this when... everyone is rational."

"No. I'm taking him. End of story. When you decide your son means more to you than your alcoholic boyfriend, maybe you can have him back."

"You don't have the right to-"

"Then take me to court. Arrest me. I'm not letting my son live with an alcoholic! There's been indications that parental alcohol abuse may be associated with the physical or sexual abuse of children. And that's not even speaking of the neglect and the pressure it puts-"

"I wouldn't sexually abuse my..."

"You shut up." Spencer said, glaring at the man. He looked back at JJ. "He's coming with me."

Spencer looked over his shoulder. "Are you coming?"

Ryan looked at the other couple before following Spencer out.

Ryan stared at the little boy who was playing in the man's living room. She glanced up to see Spencer pacing.

"I'm going to assume you won't be at work tomorrow."

Spencer sighed and continued to pace.

Ryan watched as he paused and sat down for the first time in an hour. He bowed his head and sat there.

"There's a day care near the office."

He didn't look up. Ryan bit her lip.

"I can't believe JJ let you get on the plane with him."

Spencer took in a shaky breath. Ryan stood up and walked over to him. "Spencer?"

He looked up, a lost look in his eyes. "I.. What if... Will... What if he did.."

"Shh." Ryan kissed his forehead. "Don't talk like that. He's okay, Spence."

Spencer shook his head. "I didn't even know he was drinking and I just spoke to him! Did JJ know? How could she-"

Ryan placed a few fingers on his lips. "Spencer. Right now, you got to worry about Henry. He's excited to be here right now, but in a few hours, he... could freak out. and You got work and.. Do you even have any food?"

Spencer looked around, a little helpless. "I..."

Ryan pressed her fingers to his lips again. "Listen to me. I'm going take Henry grocery shopping, grab some dvds and... pajamas and you're going to call JJ and figure how long he's going to be here or what's going to happen. And then, both or us are going to call in sick tomorrow, find Henry a day care and buy some things for your house."

"What if we go on a case?"

Ryan paused. "He can stay with Jason."

Spencer seemed to think about looking up at her. He stood and kissed her, wrapping his arms around her.
"Thank you."

Ryan kissed his forehead. "No need, boyfriend."

He smiled a little.

"Daddy, do you love Ms. Ryan nooooow?"

Ryan chuckled and looked back at the little boy. "Hey Mini Genius, want to go get some snacks and movies with me at the store?"

Henry looked at her. "Do we have to walk? Daddy always walks everywhere."

"No we... wait, no car seat. Do you use a car seat?"

Henry nodded, looking at the two. "Duh."

DiMario walked in, holding a car seat. "Holy shi...take mushrooms. You weren't kidding. He's..."

Henry tilted his head looking at the man. "I remember you. You... You said Mommy was smoking!"

DiMario grinned. "Good memory kid, you got your dad's photographic talent?"

"That's just a reading thing. I can't read yet, but I could."

DiMario laughed. "Awesome." He looked over at Spencer. "How long is he here? He's cool."

Henry grinned looking at his dad. "I'm cool, Daddy."

Ryan grinned and ruffled the boy's hair. "You ready to go, buddy?"

"Can we get strawberries and bananas, Ms. Ryan?"

"Sure thing. Let's go install this thing and we'll go, okay?"

"It's easy you just..."

Spencer watched as Ryan and Henry walked out the door before looking at DiMario who was grinning.

"Does he really know how to put in the car seat?"

"I wouldn't doubt it. Will, I...thank you so much for the car seat."

"Hey, no problem. Whatever you need that I have, it's yours, man. Connor's too big to use any of that stuff now but... I mean, what happened?"

Spencer sat back down and rubbed his eyes. "I... just took him."

"Shit, man! You could.. That's kidnapping if she files a report!"

Spencer looked up. "He was drinking around my son! I couldn't just..."

DiMario shook his head. "You.. Wow. You have to know that this is bad."

Spencer rubbed his temples. "I couldn't just leave him."

DiMario nodded. "No, man, I get it.. I just... Call her. Call her before your life is destroyed and believe me, she might. You took her baby. People have been killed for that type of thing."

DiMario rested his hand on the man's shoulder for a minute before pulling away from him. "Just keep us informed, okay? We'll all be here, man."

Spencer nodded and said his good byes before looking at his phone. He sighed and called JJ.

It rang twice before she answered.

"...Hey."

That was not what he was expecting.

"Hey, JJ..."

"How's Henry?"

Spencer frowned. Was she being calm about this?

"He's good. We just got him a car seat and Ryan is taking him to go get some food and movies."

There was a long silence. "You took him from me."

Spencer bit his lip. "He can't be in that environment."

"He isn't, Spencer. Will's drinking isn't that-"

"You knew he was drinking!"

JJ sighed. "Look. Will is dealing with the loss of his-"

"I don't care what Will is dealing with, Jennifer! He could have been hurt. He could have wondered off or Will could have gotten angry at him and-"

"Will would never do that, Spencer and you know that!"

"No! I don't! Alcohol changes people! It messes with the brain chemistry and anything can happen! I can't believe you're defending him!"

"Look. The only reason you aren't in prison right now is because I didn't call the cops. Don't make me-"

"Are you threatening me?" Spencer asked. "One. I have a lawful reason on why to take ...two, I have his consent!"

"He's 23 months old, Spencer!"

Spencer clenched his jaw. "And he seems to understand that this is for the benefit of him more than you do."

"I understand why you did it."

"Then what's the problem?"

"He's my son, Spencer!"

"As he is mine. We were talking about visitation, well.. he's visiting. When things are safe for him there, then he can come home."

He hung up and closed his eyes. He wasn't going to let his son grow up in a neglectful house. He wasn't going to let his child have to carry the burdens of taking care of a parent. He wasn't going to let it happen. Not now, not ever.
