Spencer looked up to see Krandall entering his office. He stood up.
"Chief Krandall. I thought you were coming tomorrow?"
Krandall nodded. "Things changed. You wanted to talk to me?"
"I need to...I.."
"Spit it out."
"I need to change my career so I can be around my son."
Krandall sat down. "Really, now?"
"If I stay in Vegas, I need to work a normal shift. I don't want to leave my son with anyone over night. Even if it is Jason. I don't want away from him for days on end when I have him."
"If you stay in Vegas?"
"I.. he lives in DC... and I don't want to miss anything."
Krandall nodded. "My wife left the Bureau to take care of our kids."
Spencer looked at him. "So... what do we do?"
"We...give Grey a raise and... Are you sure you want to do this? What about his mother?"
"She's the media liason for Hotchner's team, sir."
"Oh. Yes, I've heard of her. Jareau. She's a beautiful woman."
"So is Agent Williams, sir."
Krandall raised an eyebrow. "You're dating Ryan Williams?"
Spencer flushed. "Ahh, yes...sir."
Krandall laughed. "Please tell me how you of all people get not one, but TWO beautiful woman."
"I...ahh, I'm smart?"
Krandall laughed. "Oh that is a definite," He leaned back into his chair. "You know..."
Spencer looked at him. "Know what?"
"With the new team, there were a lot of changes in the BAU teams. I think the man who taught about profiling at the Academy was actually put on the team. Maybe you could do that. It's in Quantico, though."
Spencer licked his lips. "Gideon did that for a while."
"Ahh, Yes. Jason Gideon. He was a great profiler. He was your mentor, correct?"
"You could say that."
Krandall nodded. "I'll write you a recommendation, if you need it."
"Yeah.. I mean, I have to... discuss things with... people."
"Your women." Krandall said, amused.
Spencer laid his head on the woman's lap. "Not much longer until Henry's here."
Ryan ran her fingers through the man's hair. "Can't wait."
"He's mad at you for ignoring him." He said, looking up at her.
"It's your fault."
He smiled. "Maybe."
"Maybe? You told me you loved me."
He chuckled. "Okay, so I can see how that's distracting."
"Exactly."
He leaned up and kissed her. "I love you."
Ryan smiled. "You better."
Spencer snorted. "Thanks, sugar."
Ryan ruffled his hair. "He'll be over it when he gets here right?"
Spencer smiled. "He's two. He's probably already over it."
"Not if he has your memory."

Spencer and Ryan waited impatiently at the gate for JJ and Henry.
Ryan grabbed the man's wrist to look at his watch and sighed. "They're late."
Spencer looked at her before grabbing her hand. "The plane has landed. They will be here soon."
Ryan rest her head on his shoulder. "You don't think he'll still be mad at me, do you?"
Spencer smiled when he saw Henry and JJ. Henry ran over to him and hugged his leg. "Daddy!"
Spencer scooped him up. "Hey Henry. Are you still mad at Ms. Ryan?"
Henry looked at Ms. Ryan with a slight pout. "She ignore me"
Ryan frowned as JJ walked over to them with his bags. "What's going on?"
"Henry hates me."
JJ looked at the little boy amused. "Why do you hate Ms. Ryan?"
"I don't hate Ms. Ryan. She ignore me. She say 'Hold on, Henry'."
"It was your Daddy's fault." Ryan pouted.
Henry looked at Spencer angry. "You made Ms. Ryan ignore me?"
"No.. I...You see...I...It... Ryan!"
Ryan grinned and took the little boy. "And I'm going to take you to the aquarium tomorrow."
"So am I!" Spencer said. "I'm the one paying."
JJ rolled her eyes. "You guys are like toddlers."
"I am a toddler, mommy." Henry said, looking at her confused.
Spencer chuckled. "He does have a point."

Spencer stood when he saw his father. "Hey Dad."
Henry looked at the man before looking at his mother. "That's my grandpa? He doesn't look like Poppy."
William looked at the little boy and smiled. "You must be Henry."
Henry looked at him. "Yes. I'm Henry LaMontagne, You're my Daddy's daddy."
William nodded. "I am. It's nice to meet you."
"You were mean to my daddy. I don't like you."
Spencer's eyes widened and he looked at JJ who looked a little shocked. "Henry!"
Henry looked at his mommy. "No.. he make Daddy cry and Daddy say that he wasn't really a daddy so, He...he... I don't like you."
He folded his arms over his torso and glared at him.
"Dad..I.."
"What? He's right." William said and sat down next to him. "I'm sorry I hurt your Daddy, but I'm going to try hard to be there for him if he wants or needs me to."
"But he's a Daddy now. He doesn't need a Daddy."
Spencer frowned. "Does that mean when you become a Daddy, you won't need me?"
Henry rolled his eyes. "Duh."
Ryan giggled, covering her mouth. Henry was on a roll tonight.
"Henry." JJ said, pulling him on her lap. "Spencer's a daddy and he still loves his mommy very much."
"But he doesn't -need- her. I love Daddy always, that silly. But Daddy big and Daddy take care of me. He doesn't need his Daddy to take care of him."
Everyone kind of looked at Henry for a moment. He had a point.
"But...ahh, JJ?" Spencer tried, but didn't know how to explain.
"There's more than just..." JJ trailed off, also a little lost.
"You'll always need your parents, Henry. Just like Mommy and Daddy will always need their mommies and daddies. Because even though Mommy and Daddy are big, they don't have all the answers -"
"But Daddy knows everything."
"Nu uh. Daddy doesn't know a lot of things and thats why he needs his Daddy. Because a lot of the things he doesn't know is about being a Daddy."
"Not that he knows anything about it either." Spencer muttered and Ryan glared at him.
Henry sighed. "So... Daddy not a genius?"
Ryan shook her head. "No. Daddy is a genius, but... Even geniuses need help. Like I'm helping you."
"But I not a genius. I'm a mini genius, remember?"
Ryan giggled and kissed his head. "How about this? Daddy's daddy was a bad daddy, but he's going to be an awesome grandpa or else your mommy, daddy and I are going to kick his butt."
William smiled a little. "I really like this girl, Spencer."
Henry looked at him before looking back at Ryan. "He buy me things? My Grandma and Poppy buy me lots of toys."
Ryan looked at William. "Will you buy him things?"
"Sure will. What do you like?"
Henry shrugged. "Shakespeare."
William looked at Spencer, who was watching Ryan and Henry. "He's just like you."
The waiter came over. "So are we ready to order?"
