"Spencer."

the voice was sharp as it called out across the jet, a deep rumble that ripped said man from his sleep, his mumbles and heavy breathing falling short as he sat up suddenly. Edith, who had been sitting across from him with Morgan sitting on the arm of her seat, smiled softly as Emily laughed under her breath.

"sorry, i was dreaming." Spencer apologised, tucking his bronze hair behind his ears. "we found a six year old boy who had been abused and stabbed. your baby was at the crime scene, i was trying to get him out of there."

Edith's brows lifted into her hairline as an awkward air of tension filled the small space, each of them staring between the blonde woman and the boy genius. JJ had come a long way into her pregnancy, and soon she wouldn't be able to fly out with them any more, her bump ever present under her white blouse.

the pregnancy was treating her well though, with shiny hair and skin that glowed in the sun, she seemed even more beautiful than usual.

"sorry." Spencer then said, realising a moment too late what he had said.

"it's okay." JJ smiled warmly, placing a hand over her stomach as her other hand gripped her case file.

"you know Reid, simple dream analysis; if there's a baby in your dreams, that baby's actually you." Edith couldn't tell if Morgan was teasing Spencer or not, but either way, she tapped his knee with the edge of her folder with a tut.

"i don't believe in dream analysis." Spencer shrugged, hunching over to place his elbows on his knees.

"i don't know." Hotch mumbled, fiddling with the ends of his tie as he looked down at his file, "it makes sense. the case we're working on and the case in your dream are pretty similar. both involve children. maybe your subconscious is telling you you want to sit this one out."

"or maybe you're just stressed out about coming back to Vegas." Emily suggested next, "have you told your mom you're coming?"

"why aren't we reviewing the case file?" Spencer suddenly asked, a deep frown burrowing its way onto his face as he stared between his team. they all stared back, unashamedly amused, despite his obvious blooming annoyance.

"oh, i don't know. maybe because someone fell asleep on the jet." Emily continued.

a small smile began to bloom on Spencer lips as he nodded, looking down at his case file as if to say 'fair enough'. then, Hotch cleared his throat and flipped the page of his file on the table, drawing the teams attention back to the task at hand. "all right, let's start from the beginning one more time."

"this is Ethan Hayes," JJ began, handing a picture over to Emily. "he was five. two weeks ago he was abducted out of his own front yard."

"where were his parents?" Spencer asked.
