Barbecue
They were getting ready to go to a team/family barbecue a week later. It had been planned for a month and was going to be held at Dave's mansion. They were all invited not just the team and they were all looking forward to it.
Aaron and Spencer were in their room getting ready feeling incredibly nervous. They'd decided they weren't going to hide from the team but how would they take their relationship? Would they accept they were a couple or kick off?
"It'll be alright. They're our family. They'll be happy for us," Aaron assured while Spencer nodded trying to shake off the nerves. "Hey darling, I'm just as nervous as you. I only came out to my son last week."
Spencer answered looking in the mirror sorting out his appearance, "Are we going to announce our relationship?"
Aaron came up behind him and wrapped his arms round his waist kissing his neck replying, "No but neither are we going to deny it. We've got nothing to hide. They're profilers they'll work it out." Spencer nodded responding to his lover's gentle caresses on his neck. "All that matter is you make me happy and Spencer you make me so so happy."
"Oh Aaron you make me so incredibly happy too," he answered turning round to claim his lips for his own. Aaron kissed him back running his hand through his hair. Every time they kissed it gave them tingles down both their spines. They just couldn't get enough of each other now they were together.
Half an hour later Spencer was getting Maggie changed when Aaron went to check on how far Jack had got with getting ready to go to Uncle Dave's. He rolled his eyes when he saw what a mess his room was in again. He'd lost count of how many times he'd told him to clean it up.
He rolled his eyes as he saw though thankfully his son was dressed he was playing on his computer. He had half a mind to take it from him due to his tendency to go on shortly before they were to due to leave for somewhere.
Without looking back Jack grumbled, "I'm not going to some lame barbecue."
Seeing he was only playing a video game he went down to press the button and when Jack saw he switched off the computer answering, "Fine, fine. I'm coming, I'm coming. There'd better be a lot of meat."
"I'm sure with Uncle Dave in charge there will be," he smiled in spite of himself.
"Good," Jack smiled.
When they reached the barbecue they discovered they were the last ones there. Aaron walked in holding Maggie in one arm and holding Spencer's hand with his free hand. They all looked at them and smiled.
JJ and Dave smiled even more noticing their hand holding. It was about time they both thought. JJ had always known about the kiss they'd shared four years ago and how Spencer had never fallen out of love. She was over the moon Aaron had fallen back in love with him of his own accord. She knew her best friend would never push the man he loved.
Dave had had an inkling for a while now there was more to the two men's friendship. He was glad to see he was right and thought good for them. He was glad to see his best friend smiling again. He didn't care if he was with a woman or another man as long as he was happy.
Jack smiled seeing a large feast of meat for the barbecue. There were masses of burgers, sausages, ribs, drumsticks etc. all waiting to be cooked on the barbecue while Dave already had some sausages on the go as he stood over the grill.
"Good lots of meat," Jack smiled. "A good amount I'd say."
"Me too, ciampiano..." He then lifted up a sausage with the tongs and added, "I'm sure your father loves a bit of sausage."
Aaron knowing full well that Dave had intended the sexual innuendo glared at him trying to keep the smile off his face. "Do I need to remind you we have young ears here?" he asked raising an eyebrow. Not only was Maggie one but Edward was three and his older brother ten.
"What? I only meant you love a sausage," he smiled back trying to hide the smirk.
"Course you did," Aaron smiled back.
"Seriously though happy for you both," he smiled at the new couple.
"Thanks," Aaron and Spencer smiled at each other then back at him.
"Me too," JJ smiled hugging them both whispering in Spencer's ear, "knew you'd finally get your man." Spencer simply back at her as they both thanked her.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Bossman and baby genius are a couple. Omg that's so cute!" Garcia squealed.
They nodded smiling at how excited she was over them being together while Aaron placed Maggie on the ground. She promptly stood up and held onto the leg of her father's trousers firmly looking around herself.
"Thanks Penelope," Aaron smiled back at her.
Maggie looked up at her dad and demanded, "Wal."
"Alright Mags, we'll take a little walk," he smiled taking her hands into his own. He then helped her walk onto the grass and take a little stroll while she giggled and everyone smiled after them. They all adored the youngest member of their family and had worried about Aaron raising her up on his own though they knew he was the best father out there. They were all so happy that he now had someone to raise bot h a baby daughter and a teenage son with.
They all enjoyed a barbecue even Jack who kept mostly to himself listening to music from the mp3 he'd managed to sneak out of the house. He'd been proud of himself that he'd managed to hide it from his dad. Little did he know his dad had been fully aware of the offending device and had decided to let him off this time because at least they hadn't had to have a full blown argument to get him to the barbecue.
Near the end Derek came over to Aaron and sat beside him while he proudly watched his baby daughter trying to take her first few steps on her own.
"How can I help you, Derek?" Aaron asked looking at him but keeping one eye on Maggie.
"When it was revealed you and pretty boy are a couple I didn't quite know what to make of it. I mean I never pegged you down as, you know..." he answered.
"No what do I know?" Aaron replied trying to keep the smile of his face. He knew full well what he was aiming at but was having fun watching the usually cool man floundering.
"Gay," he answered looking down.
"First of all I'm bisexual. I fall in love with boys or girls. Gender doesn't matter to me. Secondly what would you say if two really close friends realised they actually had feelings for each other and how close they really were."
"I'd tell them to go for it," he smiled. "I truly am happy for you and Spencer and can see just how much you feel for each other. You deserve it. You both do."
"Thanks Derek, I really appreciate it."
