I'm on a roll! Here's another chapter, enjoy. :)
I don't own Criminal mind or any of their characters.
Spencer woke up the next morning on a couch. He yawned and stretched, sitting up before he realized it. How had he got here? Did he fall asleep in the car? Oh God, someone carried him in. This was so embarrassing. Why had he been so tired. Was it from the stress of yesterday or was it the fact that he was eleven years old again.
Spencer sighed and got off the couch, realizing his shoes were off of his feet, his jacket was no longer on him as well. Spencer looked down at himself and noticed he still had his sweater and shorts on from yesterday. That was a relief, at least they didn't change him. Spencer stretched once more before walking down the hallway and looking for the bathroom.
Once he stumbled inside and turned on the light, he closed the door and looked at himself in the mirror. His dirty blond hair was greasy and disheveled, his brown eyes were tired and full of sleep, and his clothes were wrinkled from laying on the couch. The boy sighed and used the bathroom before going to get his clothes and going to the shower. When he was finished he walked to the kitchen where JJ and Henry were already up. Henry sat at the table playing with his waffles that were covered in syrup as JJ stood at the toaster, making more.
"Good morning," Spencer suddenly piped up, making JJ jump out of her socks.
"Jesus Spence, you scared me," JJ smiled a small smile, a hand on her chest as she tried to calm herself.
"Sorry..." Spencer said quietly, looking down at his shoes in embarrassment.
"No, it's alright," JJ smiled reassuringly, "Want some waffles?"
"Yeah, sure. Thanks," Spencer nodded as he sat at the table, across from Henry.
"Hi Spencer," The boy smiled, waving and smiling a big grin at the older boy.
Spencer smiled and waved back, "Hi."
"Mommy said you're my cousin," Henry said as he chewed on a piece of his breakfast.
"Yeah, yeah I am," Spencer nodded, glancing at JJ for reassurance.
"How old are you?" Henry asked, gripping the edge of the table.
"Eleven... How old are you?" Spencer asked, finding it the right question to ask back. He already knew.
"Two!" Henry replied, sticking up two fingers at the boy and smiling widely.
Spencer chuckled and Henry giggled back as JJ placed a plate of waffles in front of Spencer.
"Thanks," He said, grabbing his fork and taking a big bite.
"So Spence," JJ started as she sat at the table across from the child with a cup of coffee, "I'm going to take Henry to the store today to get him some new clothes, you're going to have to come with me."
"Okay," Spencer nodded, chewing a mouth full of food. He didn't have anything to do here anyway.
"Also, Morgan wants to see how you're doing, so we're going by his house as well," JJ informed him, taking a sip of her coffee.
"Okay," Spencer shrugged as he took another bite.
"You didn't have to buy me that, JJ," Spencer huffed as he climbed into the front seat of her car.
"Yes I did, you needed something to entertain you while you're living with us," JJ said as she started up the car and pulled out of the parking lot.
JJ had bought him an Atari, it had all the classic games on it. Space Invaders, Pac Man, Dig-Dug, all that good stuff. Spencer really wanted it, but he hadn't expected her to get it for him. She knew he loved old video games. Next up they were going to Morgan's, apparently he had a surprise for him. Spencer was just scared what said surprise was.
"Hey pretty boy!" Morgan yelled with a wide smile as he walked up to the family as they got out of the car.
"Hey Morgan," Spencer smiled a small smile and stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"Hey, what're you so down for kid? Have a good time! You're a kid again!" Morgan tried to cheer him up.
"Yeah, I guess," Spencer sighed quietly as JJ finally got Henry out of his car seat.
"So Morgan, what's the surprise you had for Spence?" JJ asked, resting Henry on her hip.
Morgan smiled, "Follow me."
The three followed Morgan to his garage where he walked over to a sheet and grabbed it's hem.
"Are you ready?" He asked, an excited quaver in his deep voice.
"Just show already!" Spencer yelled, unamused at his friends attempts to be mysterious.
"Fine! Ruin my fun!" Morgan yelled back at Spencer, faking being hurt by the boy's tone, "I give you! Shirley!"
He pulled the sheet off of his shiny, fixed up motorcycle. JJ smiled and raised her eyebrows as Spencer walked up the bike in awe, "Wow Morgan, you finally fixed it up!" JJ smiled, happy for her friend.
"Yeah, and I want to know if you want to go on a ride, pretty boy," Morgan smiled as he looked down at Spencer.
"Really?" Spencer asked, looking from Morgan and then to the bike, "I've always wanted to ride a motorcycle."
"So that's a yes?" Morgan asked, clenching his fists excitedly.
"Yeah!" Spencer smiled the biggest smile he's smiled in what seemed like weeks. JJ ruined the boys fun though.
"No." JJ snapped, glaring at Morgan.
"What? Why?" Spencer whined, frowning.
"I don't feel like taking you to the hospital today," JJ said, adjusting Henry on her hip, "No means no. That's final."
"Come on JJ, let the kid go," Morgan begged, smiling hopefully as he grabbed the boy by the shoulders and grabbed his face, "Look at this face. How could you resist this face?"
JJ looked down at Spencer's smiling, hopeful face. JJ sighed, she hadn't seem him smile like that in a while. She huffed, "Fine! As long as he wears a helmet, though."
"Yes! Thanks JJ! You're the best!" Spencer jumped and punched the air in a joyous fit of laughter as Morgan picked him up and rested him on the bike.
"There you go kid, here's your helmet," Morgan handed the boy a black helmet and Spencer gladly put it on.
Morgan put a helmet on his head as well and climbed onto the bike, letting Spencer sit in front of him.
"You ready kid?" Morgan asked with a smile as he gripped the handlebars.
"Yep!" Spencer smiled as he gripped the handlebars as well.
Morgan kicked the kickstand back and started the motorcycle up before driving up the driveway slowly. He cranked the engine before speeding off.
