"Sir," said the petite women behind the desk in the hotels lobby.
"Yes?" Said Spencer, getting up.
"Your room is ready."
"Oh ok, thanks."
He went up to the desk and grabbed the key for the room. Then he turned to JJ and Henry.
"Come on, you guys!" Said Spencer.
Henry ran to the elevator and pressed the button.
Spencer stood there and waited for JJ. JJ walked up to him and put an arm around him. Spencer did the same back.
They walked into the elevator and Spencer pushed the button to go to floor eight, the top floor.
"I wonder why Hotch put us on the top floor." JJ said.
"You know, I think that he might have put us on the top so that we can see everything below us if we look out the window. We are undercover, after all." Spencer answered.
Henry was holding onto JJ's hand, he was a bit nervous in moving elevators.
The elevator made a noise and then stopped. The doors opened and JJ, Spencer, and Henry walked out with their bags.
"What room number are we, Spence?" Asked JJ.
"Uh.....648." Spencer replied.
"I wonder how many rooms there are." JJ thought to herself.
But as if he could read her mind, Spencer said, "I bet that there are just about a thousand rooms in this hotel."
JJ turned to look at him. "Yeah."
"Here!" Said Spencer, pointing to their room.
He inserted the key and the door opened.
"Wow, this is nice!" Said JJ.
She wandered around the enlarged room.
"Uh, Spence?"
"What is it?" Spencer called from the washroom, fixing his hair.
"There's only one bed."
"What?"
"I'm not kidding."
He came out. "Does the couch unfold?"
JJ went over to the couch. "No."
"I'll call Hotch."
Spencer went into the other room, pulled out his phone, and dialled his bosses number.
"Hotchner." Answered a stern voice.
"Hi. Hotch, it's Reid."
"Is everything all right?"
"The room you booked us only has one bed."
Even from Spencer's end, he could tell Hotch was smiling.
"Reid, I'm on a case right now, so I can't talk. You're an undercover couple. Make it work."
And then he hung up.
Spencer went back into the room where JJ was.
"What did Hotch say?" She said.
"He said 'you're an undercover couple, make it work.'"
JJ looked at the bed.
Then Spencer said, "I can sleep on the couch, if you want."
"No, Spence, you don't have to. This beds big enough for all three of us."
"Oh. Ok." Spencer replied nervously.
Then there was a long moment of silence.
"What should we do now?" Asked JJ.
"Watch for our UnSub, maybe?" Spencer said smiling.
JJ smiled at that comment and said, "Good idea."
They went over to the window.
"So our UnSub is George Daniels?" JJ asked her undercover boyfriend.
"Yeah." Spencer said, pulling up a picture of the UnSub.
"Wait......Spence, can I see that?"
"Yeah, sure. Why?"
"I recognize him from somewhere. I just forget where from."
JJ handed back Spencer's phone and looked out the window. Spencer did the same, except with binoculars.
They sat there in silence for the most part, but then they were interrupted by a small voice.
"Mommy," Henry said, running over to JJ.
"What is it, hun?"
"Where's my dinosaur puzzle?"
"Well, did you pack it?"
"Yes."
"Then it's probably in your bag, sweetheart."
"Ok, mommy."
"Oh, and Henry?"
"Yes mommy?"
"Spencer and I have to work, so can you just stay in your room for a while?"
"Ok."
"Thanks, sweetie."
JJ watched Henry as he ran back to the other room.
"You take really good care of him."
JJ turned and looked at Spencer as he said that.
"Thanks. But Spence, have you seen how well you treat him?"
Spencer smiled.
"You'd make a great dad, someday."
Then Spencer looked at her. She looked at him.
For a long moment, they just stared at each other. But then, Spencer said, "So, JJ, do you think that our UnSub is in this hotel?"
"I'm not sure," she said, looking out the window. "But, I swear I recognize him."
Hours past as JJ and Spencer stared out the window. All of a sudden, it was 10:00.
"I'm gonna go get Henry ready for bed." Said JJ, getting up from the floor.
She walked into the other room.
"Henry, time for bed."
"Ok mommy."
"And maybe tomorrow, we'll go to the beach, or something."
Henry smiled at that, and then yawned.
JJ picked him up and walked over to the bed. Henry was already in his pyjamas and his teeth were already brushed.
Spencer came over to the bed, and climbed in the left side. JJ climbed in the right. Henry was already in the middle.
It wasn't that tight of a space. Henry fell asleep, and not to long after, Spencer fell asleep.
JJ looked at him, and smiled. Spencer had fallen asleep with an arm around Henry, who was cuddling up against him.
JJ turned off the lamp next to her and laid down in the bed. She cuddled up against Henry, and it wasn't long until Spencer had an arm around her as well.
JJ didn't remove the arm, she enjoyed the fact that Spencer didn't either.
Their first case as a 'couple' and to JJ, it felt as though they've been together forever.
