"Daddy! Daddy wake up."
Ryan opened her eyes to see Henry, with tears running down his little chubby cheeks. She looked at the clock seeing it was early morning.
"What's wrong, Henry?" She asked, looking at Spencer, who was dead asleep. Obviously he was a deep sleeper.
"I have bad dream. Daddy no wake up." With his little bottom lip trembling, Henry never looked so young. With his intelligence, it was easy to see him as a little adult and yet, here he was, obviously scared of something and needing his dad. She sat up and turned on the light, before pulling the little boy in her arms. He wrapped his arms around her neck, burying his face into her as he sniffled.
"I scared, Ms. Ryan."
She rubbed his back before smacking the older Reid awake. He jumped. "What? What's wrong?"
He sat up, seeing the little boy in her arms. "What happened?"
"Bad dream." She said, still rubbing the little boy's back. Henry looked to see his daddy awake and grabbed for him. Spencer took him immediately, continuing Ryan's soothing.
"You have a bad dream, buddy?"
Henry sniffed before nodding. "My night light broken too. I woke up and it really dark, daddy. I call for you, but you not there."
"Oh buddy, I'm sorry. You want to stay in here with us? Ms. Ryan and I will keep all the bad guys away from you and guess what? I got my very own night light."
Henry looked up at him. "I stay here?" He looked at Ryan.
She ruffled his hair. "If any bad guys come in your dreams, we'll get them okay?"
"and take them to jail?" He asked softly, rubbing his eyes.
"Definitely."
"No dark?"
"No way. Daddy's scared of the dark too."
Henry looked up at his dad. "But you're big!"
Spencer shrugged. "I'm working on it. Now let's lay back down, okay?"
Henry's bottom lip jutted out again. "But daddy, the bad guys get me."
Spencer laid back down and Henry tensed a little.
Ryan moved closer to the geniuses and kissed Henry's forehead. "No one's going to get you, Mini. Remember, they'll go to jail."
Henry sighed. "I not tired though."
Ryan and Spencer watched as he fought to keep his eyes open.
"Sure you aren't."
Henry sighed, looking at Ms. Ryan. "Will you sing to me? Mommy sings when I can't sleep. Daddy can't sing."
Ryan looked at Spencer amused. "He can't sing."
"No. He's really bad."
Spencer looked at Henry. "Thanks, Henry."
Henry looked at him with a pout. "It's not my fault you're bad."
Ryan tried to stiffle the giggle but lost it when Spencer glared at her. She composed herself before looking at Henry. "I'll sing to you, okay? But you got to close your eyes first."
Henry looked at her. "You're not as bad as Daddy are you?"
Spencer just pouted.

Spencer woke up to Ryan's lips against his. He smiled, opening his eyes to see her resting on her elbows and stomach. Henry was...where was henry?
"Henry?"
"Bathroom break. We let you sleep in, but I have to get to work."
Spencer frowned and kissed her again. "Will you call me once you get off the plane?"
Ryan smiled, pushing his hair out of his face. "I will."
"And when you get to the hotel?"
"Mmmhmm." She kissed him again.
"And when-"
"When I'm about to go to bed too." She kissed him again before Henry made his self known.
"You guys kiss too much."
Ryan looked back at him. "We do not."
"Uh huh. Kimmy says-"
"Kimmy's too young to know anything about kissing." Spencer said, looking at him.
"But she wanted to kiss me daddy! I told her no though and now you move away so I don't see her again."
Spencer looked at him. "A 2 year old-"
"Kimmy four, daddy."
"whatever, wanted to kiss you?"
Henry nodded. "She wanna kiss me."
"Why'd you say no?" Ryan asked, curious.
Henry frowned. "Because..."
Spencer looked at him with a slight smile. "Because why?"
Henry blushed. "I don't know how to kiss! I'm only two, Daddy! "
Ryan grinned at the pink little boy. He was adorable. Spencer furrowed his brow. "You kiss mommy and me all the time."
Henry rolled his eyes. "That's different, Daddy!"
Ryan looked at Spencer. "It's very different. You're related."
She looked at Henry before getting up. "I have to get to work but before I go, maybe I can get a kiss from the much more cuter genius."
Henry blushed. "Ms. Ryan."
She scooped the little boy up. "Just on the cheek. Daddy might get jealous."
Henry looked at his dad who was watching them before blushing even more. He looked back at Ryan, who smiled at him. "Okay, maybe some other time then" She said, seeing the redness of his cheeks. She didn't want to embarrass him.
She turned to look at Spencer to say her goodbyes when the little boy unexpectedly moved to kiss her cheek, accidently pressing his lips against hers. He pulled back quickly and she blushed a little, unsure of what to say. She smiled a little seeing that Henry looked like he was about to explode.
"...wow, Henry. That was a great kiss. You got no worries."
Henry flushed. "I kiss good?"
"Sure do! Kimmy missed out."
Henry watched her a few seconds before his lips curled into a smile. He turned to his daddy. "I good kisser, Daddy!"
"Uh huh. No more kissing Ms. Ryan on the lips though, buddy. She's too old for you."
Ryan shot him a glare as Henry flushed. "I didn't mean to!"
Ryan kissed the little boy's cheek. "He's teasing you. I know It was an accident. But I got to go now, little man, so make Daddy make you some breakfast."
She set the boy down and he hugged her legs. "Bye Ms. Ryan. Be safe. Love you."
