The Pieces of a Broken Heart: a Jeid fanfic

Chapter 6

Spencer was the first one to wake up.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that his arm was wrapped around Henry and JJ. He quickly removed the arm and got out of bed quietly, so he wouldn't wake anyone up.
Spencer walked to the kitchen and started a pot of coffee for himself and JJ. As he was pouring the coffee into cups, he heard something from behind him.
"Good morning, Spencer." Said Henry, quietly.
"You shouldn't be up yet, Henry. It's still early."
"But I can't sleep."
"Ok. Here, let's find something to watch on TV."
"Ok."
Spencer turned on the TV and started looking through channels.
"Hey, Tom And Jerry's on. Do want to watch that, Henry?"
"Yeah!"
"Shh. You have to be quiet, ok?"
"Ok." Whispered Henry.
As Henry went over to the couch, Spencer continued to pour coffee. Then he took the cups and went over to JJ.
"Good morning."
JJ stretched and then opened her eyes and sat up.
"'Morning, Spence."
He handed her a cup of coffee.
"Thank you." She said, smiling. "It's funny."
"What is? The coffee? Because if it is, I could make you a different batch-"
"No, Spence. The coffee is fine. What's funny is waking up to see your face, instead of Will's."
JJ sighed.
"Well," said Spencer. "At least you aren't waking up to fight."
JJ smiled. "Yeah."
Spencer walked to his side of the bed and climbed in.
"Wait where's Henry?" Asked JJ.
"Oh he's watching cartoons on TV."
"Ok."
They sat in bed talking about Florida for a while, and then they started talking about the case.
"So, how many victims are there?" JJ asked.
"Uh.....13."
JJ shook her head. "Thirteen. That's like four of our regular cases combined."
"Yeah." Spencer said nodding.
"How would someone meet that many people and kill them all? He might be a social or public person."
"What if he's a public driver?"
"That's possible too."
Then there was silence.
"Oh, Spence," said JJ, breaking the wall of silence.
"Yeah?"
"I told Henry that we would go to the beach, but I forgot that you don't like the beach."
"We could still go."
"No. I'm not doing something just for me. I want us to do something together, we're supposed to be a couple, after all."
"Ok, thanks. Wait, what about Henry?"
"He'll be fine."
"What were you thinking of doing then?"
"Well, we could take a walk around town. And then we could go to a restaurant for dinner, or something."
Spencer nodded. "That sounds like a good idea. JJ, um, did you want to take a shower first? I mean, I was going to but you can if you want."
"Ok, thank you."
Then JJ got up and walked to the washroom.
As she was walking, Spencer couldn't help but notice that JJ was wearing one of his shirts. He smiled, and let out a small laugh once she walked away.
While JJ was having a shower, Spencer was making breakfast.
Henry smelt the food and came over to Spencer.
"What are you making?"
"I'm making eggs, bacon, and toast."
"Ok."
"Hey, Henry. Did you wanna help me?"
"Yeah!"
"Ok. Well first, can you get the ice out of the freezer?"
Henry opened the freezer. "There's no ice."
"No? Let's see."
Spencer went over to the freezer.
"Oh, yeah. Henry can you stay here? I'm gonna go get some ice from the ice machine."
"Ok."
"Thank you. Your mom is in the shower. I will be right back."
Spencer took the key and left the room.
--------------- in the room ---------------
JJ got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself. When she came out of the washroom she noticed that Spencer was gone.
"Hey, honey, where's Spencer?" She asked her son.
"He went to go get ice, mommy."
"Ok, thanks, sweetie."
JJ walked over to her bag and picked out her clothes. And since it was just her and her son in the room, she decided to get changed right by the bed, which she forgot, was right by the door.
Spencer came back with the bucket of ice and unlocked the door. When he stepped inside, he saw JJ changing.
Spencer's face turned beet red.
JJ put her shirt on and turned around. She saw Spencer standing there.
"Spence, hi. You scared me!"
"Oh sorry." He said smiling. "I, uh, I just went to go get ice. I'm, uh, making breakfast."
"Spence, are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine! Why?"
"Well, you seem shocked about something, or scared."
"I'm fine, really, it's nothing."
"I can tell it's not 'nothing'."
"Fine, I'll tell you."
Spencer walked over to the kitchen to continue making breakfast, JJ following him.
"When I came back from grabbing ice, I--I walked in on you changing."
JJ had a shocked look on her face. But then she smiled.
"Spence, it's fine." She said as she placed a hand on Spencer's shoulder. "I'm sure you'll forget about it by tomorrow."
"JJ," Spencer smiled and laughed. "I have an eidetic memory. That's one image that will never leave my mind."
JJ laughed.
"That sounded better in my head."
JJ gave him a hug and then went and sat with Henry on the couch.
About half an hour later, Spencer brought both JJ and Henry a plate of food.
"Thanks, Spence. This looks delicious." Said JJ.
"Thank you!" Said Henry.
"Your welcome. But honestly, I thought that I was going to burn it."
JJ took a bite. "Spence, it's really good. Are you having any?"
"No I'm fine, thanks."
"You sure? Here, come try a bit of mine."
Spencer smiled and walked over to JJ. He sat down beside her on the couch.
After they finished eating, JJ got Henry dressed and they all headed out the door.
"What are we doing?" Asked Henry.
"We are going out for a little bit." JJ said.
"Ok."
They walked down to a city. There were lots of cafés and a lot of ice cream shops.
"Mommy! Can we get ice cream?" Henry asked excitedly.
"Will it spoil your dinner? Because we are going to a fancy restaurant later."
"No, it won't."
"Ok then."
JJ turned to Spencer. "He wants to go get ice cream."
"I'll take him. It's right across the street. You can wait here, if you want."
"Thank you."
Spencer took Henry across the street to the ice cream shop. JJ waited on a bench right across from the ice cream shop.
She was looking at photos on her phone when all of a sudden, a cab pulled up in front of her.
"Hey! Hi!" Said the cab driver.
"Hi?" JJ answered, more like a question then a response.
"Oh, sorry for scaring you. I drive you and your family to McDonalds yesterday."
"Oh, right."
"Where's your son and boyfriend at?"
"They're just getting something."
JJ then heard a faint scream from inside the cab, and the driver turned around and yelled, "Quiet down!"
"Is there something wrong?" JJ asked, concerned.
"No, no. It's all good. I'll see you around."
And then he sped off.
Spencer and Henry walked out of the ice cream shop and came up to JJ.
Henry had a vanilla cone, and Spencer had two cones, one in each hand.
"Hope you like chocolate." Spencer said to JJ handing her a cone, but JJ wouldn't take it.
"JJ what's wrong? Do you not like chocolate?"
"Spence, I know where the UnSub is."
