Spencer returned to see Ryan looking at the pictures on the wall.
"You graduated with a perfect 4.0?"
Spencer flushed. "With my Mathematics and Chemistry degrees. Engineering, I ended up with a 3.993. and Psychology and Sociology with a 3.975."
Ryan looked at him, unimpressed. Spencer smiled. "Sorry."
"You were a cute kid. You look adorable with the short hair."
"It hasn't been that short since I was 4."
She turned to look at him. She ran her fingers up the back on his neck, teasing his hair at his scalp. "I like it long. You look sexy with it."
"You look sexy too."
Ryan grinned. "Why, thank you."
She kissed him before looking back at his pictures, grabbing his arms and pulling them around her. He wrapped his arms around her when she grabbed his arms. She smiled, feeling his breath against her neck.
"You look a lot like your mother."
"Thank you."
Ryan looked at the picture of his complete family. It was the only one he had of his father. "Will you introduce Henry to your parents...both of them?"
Spencer sighed. "My mother would love to see him. I plan on taking him to go see her, but it's hard. I'd have to make sure she is lucid and it would have to be short."
"And your dad?"
She felt him tense behind her. "I can't be civil with him. Definitely now, that I'm a father. I mean, I heard Will was drinking and I couldn't let him stay there with him. How could my dad let me stay with my mentally ill mother alone, where I had to take care of her and the house and myself when I was only eight years old."
Ryan turned and wrapped her arms around him. "Then you show him what it's like to be a good father." She kissed his temple, before kissing down his jaw line.
Spencer looked down at her, before grabbing her face and kissing her lips. Ryan's hands tightened, grabbing at his shirt. He took a step towards her, pushing her against the diplomas and pictures. Ryan pulled back a little shocked.
"Henry's in the.." She bit at her bottom lip, when his lips trailed to her neck. "Spencer. Mini Genius."
"He's sleeping." He muttered.
Ryan pushed him back a little. "And can be easily woken up. I.. We can't do this with him so close and if you start thinking with your brain you'll realize that."
Spencer kissed her lips once more, before leaning his forehead against hers. "I...Yes. That's very true. That would be bad."
Ryan smiled at him, kissing him again. "Very bad."
Spencer looked at her. "Then stop that."
"Stop what? I'm not doing anything."
"Lies."
Ryan giggled. "I should be going home anyways."
Spencer grabbed at her hips. "Stay."
"Didn't we already agree that that would be very bad?"
"We agreed that the kissing and anything that leads from kissing is bad. Not you just staying."
"But Henry..."
"Henry likes you. He told me I should stay because you and well, his new friends."
"Oh really?" Ryan grinned. "He really does like me."
"So, will you stay?"
Ryan contemplated it. "You sure Henry will be okay with it?"
"You stayed with us before and he didn't have a problem with it."
"Good point."

Henry jumped into the bed. "Daddy! Ms. Ryan! It's time for me to go see my friends!"
"Not yet, Henry." Spencer muttered, pulling the blanket up over his head.
Ryan looked at the little boy as his face fell. She ran a hand through her hair before rubbing her eyes.
"You hungry, Henry?"
Henry bounced on his dad's back. "I have bananas."
Ryan laughed as Spencer groaned. Ryan got out of bed and scooped up the little boy.
"Let's let Daddy sleep for a few more minutes while we go make everyone some breakfast. You want to help?"
"Uh huh. We make coffee too. Daddy only like coffee."
"With lots of sugar, right?"
"Yep. Mommy said he's addicted."
Ryan chuckled and sat the boy on the counter. "Do you know what addicted means, Mini?"
"When you like something way too much."
Ryan nodded. "That's very good, Henry."
"Are you going to stay here from now on?"
Ryan looked up at the boy. "What?"
"Are you going to live with us like Papa and Mommy and me. Well, before Papa moved out."
"I...ahh, no, buddy. It was just really late last night and your Daddy didn't want me to walk home."
"Oh." Henry frowned.
"Why the frown, little man?"
"You're fun."
Ryan grinned. "Thanks. Doesn't explain the frown. Would you like to pour the milk?"
Ryan helped the boy as he poured the milk into the three bowls.
"I like you. You should stay here, so we can play more."
Ryan chuckled, picking up the boy and putting him on the ground before grabbing his and her bowl.
"Go wake up daddy, while I get your banana, okay?"

Spencer sat across from his mother, who was looking out the window.
"Mom."
Spencer looked at her as she turned to look at him. "Spencer, you're here?"
He smiled. "I'm about to go on a case, Mom."
"So you came to see me? How nice, Spencer."
"I have Henry for a week or so. I was wondering if... I could bring him to see you. He wants to meet you."
Diana smiled. "I'd love to meet him. He's special like you, isn't he?"
"Yes, mom. He's more intelligent than his counterparts."
"And his parents are proud?"
"Mom, I... Yes, his parents are very proud of him."
"Good, good. I've always been very proud of you, Spencer."
"I know, Mom." Spencer said, smiling.
"I'm... I have a girlfriend too."
Diana looked at him. "Oh? Is she as intelligent as you?"
"Ah, no. But she's an FBI agent. She's very beautiful, and she's strong willed and...I think you'd like her."
"Do you like her?"
"I wouldn't be dating her if I didn't like her, mom."
Diana looked at him with a slight smile. "Very beautiful, strong willed. That's not words you use to describe someone you like."
"Wasn't it Shakespeare who wrote a sonnet about someone who he loved and used normal words, if not almost rude."
Diana smiled. "You have a point. Tell me more about this woman."
Spencer looked at his watch before leaning in. "She's..." He paused. "Do you want a physical description or an emotional description?"
"I want you to tell me what you think when you think about her."
"She's...amazing." Spencer said, flushing. "She's...I don't know, Mom. She makes me feel like I'm a good man."
"You are a good man, Spencer."
"I...I know that I've never done anything wrong and that I'm intelligent and kind, but I've never... It's different."
Diana looked at him a little amused. "Interesting. We should talk more about this after your case. You will be back after your case? I do worry about you with those cases. You never should have joined the government, Spencer. They're-"
"I'll be back, Mom, I promise. Maybe Henry will come with me."
There was a pause before Diana looked back towards the window. Spencer sighed.
"See you later, Mom."
