A/N: Hey! So this is my first fanfic and I'm hoping for this particular story to be about 10 chapters long. That's what I'm thinking right now but maybe shorter, maybe longer, who knows. Right now I have it planned up to 7 chapters and that's where I'm seriously stuck for an idea but enough about that-Read on...

Chapter 1

JJ laid on her bed silently sobbing into her pillow, so she didn't wake Henry who was sleeping next to her. She had messed up with Spence. Again. All he was doing was trying to be nice, but she couldn't handle it, not after she made Will leave. She wasn't going to be hurt again. She would never be hurt again, she wouldn't let it happen. She thought back to last night.


Reid found her. He always found her.

"What's wrong?" He asked concern filling his voice.

"Oh let's see, my husband left after more than enough fights. He said I wasn't home enough and that I cared more about my job than him. He just walked out of the door leaving Henry without a dad and wondering why he is going away," Reid watched JJ stand up, running a hand through her hair as she paced in the small room. "I'm fighting for custody of him with Will and even if I win I know for a fact Will is going to slowly back out like he does with everything until he never helps or calls Henry, leaving a four-year old without a father wondering why daddy isn't coming home and a single mom in the FBI to take care of him." She snapped.

He put a hand on her shoulder. "Jay, I'm sorry. You don't deserve this, no one does, especially you. You know I will always be here for you right? And the team? We would never leave you and Henry," He said trying to pull her into a hug.

"Stop. I don't need your help. I-I just can't get hurt. Not again. Just leave me alone," she pleaded.

She could see the hurt reflecting in his eyes as he stood up, shocked. He turned away as she could see tears welling up in his eyes. But she knew he wasn't going to cry, he couldn't, not where the team could see him. She also knew he would never hurt her, not like Will had.

"Sp-Spence!" She called after his retreating back. "Wait! Come back!" JJ yelled as she sunk down to the floor crying.


She knew the only way she could fix this was to go apologize and explain to Reid. She pulled herself out of bed and got dressed. She gently shook Henry awake.

"C'mon Henry, you get to go visit Uncle Morgan,"

"Why?" he said sleepily.

"Mommy needs to visit someone very important,"

"Uncle Morgan!" Henry yelled as Derek opened the door.

"Hey, little man. How's it goin'?"

"Good. Mommy has to visit somebody important so I stay with you,"

"Thanks for watching him Morgan, it really means a lot. I-I just really need to fix things,"

"With Reid?" He asked with a wink.

"You know what happened?"

"The whole team knows,"

"W-What? But how?"

"Come on, we're profilers remember? We could all figure it out. You seriously think we couldn't see it in the kid's face anyway?"

"You could tell? He was that hurt?" she said looking at her watch seeing it was almost 11. She hoped he was still awake. "Well thanks again, I have to get going though,"

"No problem, I love watching the little guy,"

"I'll keep that in mind for later," JJ smiled.


JJ pulled up in front of Reid's house not able to get out of the car. Just do it JJ. It's Spence, your best friend. You can handle this; it's the only way to make things better.She criticized herself. She braced herself, got out of the car and slowly walked towards his front door. Walking up to the front door she knocked lightly; pulled herself together and knocked harder.

Spencer pulled open the door. "J-Jayje. W-What are you doing here?"

"Okay, n-no interrupting me.I-I'm sorry. About everything. I never should have snapped at you I was just mad and after," Her voice cracking slightly. "A-after I couldn't stand to think about the pain that I caused you. You only meant to help and I pushed you away a-and…" She rambled.

"JJ," He stopped her with a kiss.

She pulled back surprised. "Spence,"

"I-I'm sorry, I, uh, I should really get to bed and-"

"Spence," She shut him up with another kiss. "It's okay,"

"Really? You mean y-you like me too? Morgan was always telling me to go for it because he could somehow tell that you liked me and Rossi was telling me to man up and to ask you out for coffee or something and I-I just couldn't do it because I didn't think you would even consider me. I know that you're my best friend and everything but I just never thought that you liked me that way. Why would you? I mean just look at me. I'm a geek, a bookworm, I'm an-,"

"Amazing, sweet, nice, caring person," JJ cut in.

"Y-You really believe that?" He asked in utter amazement.

"Of course I do,"

"T-Thanks JJ, you have no idea how much this means to me,"

"I'm sorry about last night," she added again.

"I know you are,"

"I love you Spence," JJ said with a smile.

"I l-love you to JJ," He said, a blush rushing to his cheeks.

"Night Spence, see you tomorrow," she said with a grin as she walked away.

"S-See you,"
