The Perfect Two

15

JJ and Spencer were watching a movie in their bedroom, it had been a hectic two weeks for the both of them as JJ was too afraid to do anything. After a visit and stern lecture from their midwife they started getting back into the rhythm of their life. Spencer was gently stroking JJ's belly was she ate the popcorn with large handfuls at a time, Spencer rubbed just above her belly button when he felt something connect with his hand, pulling it away fast he swore he saw a foot outline. Brushing it off he continued his actions as he turned back to the movie which was The Blind Side (JJ's choice of the evening) and the tears were flowing rapidly down her face. Suddenly JJ felt a fluttering in her stomach followed by a small pressure against her stomach, she watched as Spencer lifted his hand and looked up to meet JJ's eyes. "I think the baby is kicking Spence." She whispered, she had no idea why she was talking so quietly but it seemed right.

A soft knock on the door broke the two of their moment and Spencer stood up to answer is. He checked the peep whole to see a petite brunette woman standing with a larger brunette man. Spencer gingerly opened the door sticking his head out. "May I help you?" He asked.

"Hi, I'm Kate and this is my husband Chris. I'm sorry to bother you so late but we just saw your add for wanted parents." She sent a soft smile his way.

Spencer just starred at the couple unsure of what to do... He could send them away and JJ would never know... Or he could do what his girlfriend really wanted. "Uh yeah, please come in." Spencer said opening the door wider. "Have a seat on the couch while I go get JJ."

He walked down the hallway and straight into the bedroom. "Who's at the door Spence?" JJ asked blowing her nose from crying at the Sandra Bullock movie.

"Uh there is a couple... Looking to adopt our baby." He watched as JJ's eyes widened and for a split second he let himself believe JJ was going to let him keep their baby.

"Let's go meet them." She smiled getting out of the bed.

He followed JJ to the living room where she sat in a chair in front of the couple while Spencer went to the kitchen to make coffee. When he returned they began the interview.

"So what do you two do for living?" JJ asked.

"I am a police officer-" Kate started.

"Isn't that dangerous to have a child?" Spencer interrupted ignoring JJ's glare.

Kate's smile remained in her face. "Many men AND women in the force have children, I do patrol. I'm am officer not a detective. Now Chris is an engineer with amazing hours so he will be home."

Spencer saw the light in JJ's eyes as she smiled. The interview continued on perfectly, all that was left was the review of their medical history. JJ went first revealing her family's nearly clean bill of health. Next Spencer went; "my mother is schizophrenic." We're the first words out of his mouth. He was holding back a smug look waiting for this couple to drop out.

Kate looked over to Chris who nodded. "That's not a problem." She replied. Spencer mouth dropped while JJ smiled brightly. "We have wanted a baby for so long and I found out I couldn't have one. Every child is perfect in all honesty, were prepared for anything."

A few minutes later they were all saying their goodbyes at the door. "Oh JJ," Kate smiled. "How about you and Spencer come to our house tomorrow for dinner? We can show you the house."

"I would love that." JJ smiled waving the Callahan's off as they headed to the elevator. When she turned around Spencer was gone, JJ sighed heading to the bedroom. She really wasn't in the mood to fight. "Look Spence I know it probably took a lot from you to even allow Kate and Chris into our home but I really don't want to fight, they seem like amazing parents-" JJ stopped in the doorway of her room to see Spencer kneeling down on one knee holding a velvet box.

"I don't want to fight." he smiled. "I may not agree with your choice, but I do know that I love you Jennifer Marie Jareau since the eighth grade when you kissed me in Garcia's closet. And I've known I've wanted to marry you since preschool when we ran out of books to read one day and you made me play house." He watched s the happy tears slid down JJ's face. "And maybe we aren't meant to raise this baby but one day I want to, I'll make a million babies with you or just this one if that's what you want. So JJ, will you marry me?"

The pregnant blonde didn't need to be asked twice, she walked over to her boyfriend bending down to plant a soft kiss on his lips. "Yes." She whispered looking into his eyes.

Spencer smiled brightly taking her hand left hand sliding the simple silver ring onto her finger.

The two joined each other in bed not long after still fully dressed, Spencer placed his hand over the baby and JJ placed her hand over his. "I love you." He whispered.

"We love you too." JJ replied.
