Chapter 4

"I should be heading home," Reid whispered against JJ's lips after a while, pulling back slowly, seeing her flushed cheeks which were probably matching his own. When he'd walked through that door earlier in the day he couldn't have predicted this was where they'd be right now.

JJ panted lightly and nodded, "Even though I don't want you to go, taking it slow means you should," she whispered and pecked his lips once more. "I'll see you at work tomorrow."

Reid nodded, "I'll see you tomorrow," he whispered and got up, heading to the hallway to grab his coat. He kissed her forehead and smiled. "Good night."

"Good night Spence," JJ smiled in return as she showed him out. Once she was sure he was on his way she closed the door, resting her back against it, a smile on her face. Telling him her feelings had been a difficult hurdle, but she knew the one that was coming was going to be even harder. She let out a deep sigh and headed towards the kitchen, making herself a mug of tea.

"Hey, you coming over for dinner again tonight?" JJ asked as she found Reid in the break room when she was heading in to grab a cup of coffee.

Reid looked up, dropping one more spoonful of sugar in his cup, "Uhm, yeah sure, are you sure that's not too much?" He asked, wanting to make sure they weren't moving too fast.

"What's not too much?" Garcia asked as she came in, finding her two friends huddled close together. She couldn't help but chuckle when Reid started to blush. "What did you do to our boy wonder here?" She asked as she looked at JJ.

"Nothing much," JJ shrugged, "I just asked if he wanted to come to dinner tonight since Henry has been asking," she lied smoothly, knowing Garcia would buy that story.

"And you didn't think to include me?" Garcia asked in a mock hurt tone before chuckling. "No worries peaches, I'm busy tonight," she said as she grabbed herself a cup of coffee. "I've got a hot date in case you were wondering."

Reid rolled his eyes slightly, "We weren't, but thank you for the information," he chuckled as he grabbed his cup, facing JJ once again. "Would six be okay for tonight?" He asked.

"Perfect," JJ replied.

"Anything I can bring?" Reid inquired.

JJ shook her head, "Maybe some tools to try and fix up the dishwasher?" She suggested once she was sure Garcia was out of ear range.

"Consider it done," Reid smiled and headed out, looking over his shoulder once more. "See you tonight then," he said before heading back to his desk. They were lucky there was no active case, which gave him time to focus on the pile of consults on his desk. It was clearly noticeable they were one agent short, the other desks had a larger pile than normal, of which Reid took most.

That night after dinner Henry was playing with Michael while Reid and JJ did the dishes again. This time Reid was washing the plates, so it was his turn to grab some of the suds and blow it onto JJ's cheek. "Told you I would be getting you back," he grinned.

JJ turned to him, narrowing her eyes as a grin graced her face. "That all you got?" She teased before grabbing a handful and rubbing it in his hair.

"Hey!" Reid replied before grabbing some as well. He wanted to return the favor but JJ had already made a run towards the living room, forcing him to chase her. "Wanna play hard ball huh?" He chuckled and chased her with his hands full of suds.

JJ yelped out when he reached her with big strides. She tried to cover herself, but he rubbed the suds all over her hair before pulling her into his arms, his face dangerously close to hers.

Reid wanted to do nothing more than to kiss her right there, but he knew they had an audience that hadn't been informed last night's conversation yet. He slowly and reluctantly pulled back. "Now, let me see if I can get the dishwasher back in order, because no matter how much fun this actually was, I don't think you'd want to be doing the dishes by hand every day."

JJ smiled, "Thanks Spence," she replied and walked back to the kitchen with him. Once there she gave him a quick peck on his cheek, having seen the look in his eyes. "Is there anything I can do to help?" She asked.

Reid nodded, "Would you mind calling Morgan, see if he has time? I'm sure I won't be able to fix this by myself."

"Sure thing, I'll get right on that," JJ smiled and headed back to the living room, grabbing her landline and dialing their friend's number.

"If that isn't blondie," Morgan picked up with a grin on his face. "What can I do for you?"

"Hey Derek," JJ smiled, "on a scale of one to ten, how tired are you with the baby around the house now that Savannah is back to work?" She asked.

"Nothing our work hasn't prepared us for," Morgan grinned. "So, seriously, you're probably not calling to ask me that," he teased.

"You're right, I wasn't. Look, my dishwasher kinda broke down and Spence is here trying to help me fix it, but we could really use your help," she explained.

Morgan chuckled, "That's my brother, all theoretical," he replied and looked at his son. "I think I can squeeze in some time, Hank would love to spend some time with Michael and Henry if it's okay for me to bring him."

JJ smiled, "Of course, thank you so much. We'll see you in a bit then?"

"I'll be there as soon as I can, tell Reid to stop touching the dishwasher," he teased.

When the doorbell rang, Reid couldn't help but feel slightly nervous. It had been a while since they'd seen Morgan, and for some reason it felt strange. When he heard the man's voice and heard JJ coo to Hank he couldn't help but grin.

"Pretty boy!" Morgan called out as he walked in, giving Reid a large brotherly hug, patting his back. "It's good to see you man, and to actually talk to another male adult."

"It's so good to see you too Morgan," Reid replied and looked past his friend, seeing JJ with Hank in his arms. "He's gorgeous," he said and walked over, taking Hank from JJ when Michael cried out for his mother's attention. "He looks exactly like you!"

Morgan grinned brightly and nodded, "Yeah, no question he's mine alright." He looked back at JJ, who had Michael in her arms by now. "Wow, he's grown a lot girl," he commented as he took the boy from her. "Speaking of looking like someone, are you sure this is a LaMontagne?" He asked.

JJ's cheeks flushed a bright red, hoping Reid would think Morgan was just teasing.

Reid's eyes flew to JJ, seeing the shock on her face. His eyes asked the question he didn't dare to speak. Was Michael his? JJ's eyes revealed the answer, which was supported by a small nod. "We'll talk later," she whispered.

"Okay, so this is awkward," Morgan replied, looking between his friends. "I better go check on that dishwasher," he said as he handed Michael back to JJ before making his way to the kitchen. He shook his head a little, letting out a deep sigh. "Oh boy…"
