It had been 2 months since your weekend away in the Hamptons and life had gone pretty much back to normal. Spencer busy on cases and you working exhausting hours at the hospital.


It was now September and you had just got home from your day shift when you saw Spencer sat at the kitchen island, his head in his hands.

"Hey, are you okay?" You asked, setting your keys on the counter and sitting down next to him.

"JJ was transferred. She got a promotion."

"Oh..." You put your hand on his back and rubbed gently, not knowing what to say. Was it a good thing? Surely a promotion is a good thing but Spence seabed so beat up about it. "When did she decide to leave?"

"She didn't. The brass made the decision for her."

"Well she is really good at what she does, and you guys will all still see her. Why don't we all have a dinner here soon?"

"Yeah, yeah. Okay. I think I'm just going to go to bed." Spencer stood up and kissed you and then headed up the stairs and you decided to send JJ a text.


[You]

Spence told me about the
promotion! Congrats, I think?
Hope all is okay, will have to
have everyone over for dinner
soon.

[JJ]Yeah thanks! It wasn't my choice but I guess it is what is. Would love to have dinner at your place tho! Have to do it soon, miss everyone already.

You decided to head up to bed as well as it was getting late and when you walked into your bedroom, you saw Spencer was passed out in your bed, hanging off the edge. You got ready for bed and joined him in bed and without waking up he cuddled into you and before long you were asleep as well.

4 weeks later you had arranged for the team to all come round for dinner as you had a day off and wanted to do a big meal for everyone. It also happened to be Spencer's birthday the following day and you hadn't told him JJ would be there as a surprise. It would be so nice to see everyone reunite again and hopefully cheer everyone up a bit as they had all been a bit low from JJ's departure.

While Spencer was at work you cooked all day and began on Spencer's birthday cake. You were making it in the shape of a stack of books of his favourite titles. You also set the table and hung up birthday balloons and banners.

Spencer loved Indian food so you had made a curry from scratch with all the sides as well and the whole house smelt like spices so you decided to put on some scented candles around the house.

You went upstairs to get changed and Spencer came home while you were putting on your necklace. "Hey babe, you look amazing." Spencer smiled and kissed you on the cheeks,

"Thanks! Everyone will be here in about an hour. And don't go in the kitchen!" You said, pointing your finger at him who laughed at you as he walked into the bathroom to shower.

You went downstairs and got out glasses and prepared drinks and a half hour later or so Spencer came downstairs, "Ah, there's my birthday boy!" You smiled and ran out of the kitchen, blocking the entrance,

"Oh you were serious about not being able to go in the kitchen?"

"Deadly." You said bluntly and Spencer laughed and shook his head and then the doorbell sounded.

"Someone's early." Spencer smiled and headed to the door to see Penelope standing in the doorway,

"Happy early birthday boy genius!" She shouted and wrapped her arms around Spencer and you giggled which caught her attention, "And the prettiest Brit in DC how are you my love!" She walked over to you and hugged you too,
