Feelings You Leave (HotchxReid)

Girlfriend

A/N: I know, I just updated an hour ago, but I got insparation to write some more, so here's another part. Enjoy!

Spencer parks after Penelope and they head inside together.

The get to the backyard and everyone greets them except Hotch and Jack.

"Where's Aaron?" Spencer says, grabbing his water Penelope gave him.

"Uh, I don't know. Rossi said he's coming though," Emily says, brushing down her red dress.

"Uncle Spencer!" Henry says, rushing up to him, hugging his legs. Spencer manages to balance his water and sets in down before picking up Henry.

"Hey, buddy," Spencer smiles.

"Mommy said you're sad. What's wrong?" Henry says, throwing everybody off guard.

"Henry-" J.J. starts but Spencer stops her.

"It's okay, J.J. Well, I'm doing better now, but a few months ago, someone I loved, very much, passed away. I miss them very much, but it's going to get better, don't worry," Spencer fakes a smile, swallowing the lump forming in his throat.

"Oh, okay," Henry says. Spencer puts him down when he sees Jack walk through the back door.

"Where's your dad?" Derek asks Jack and he points behind him, running off with Henry.

"Spence, I'm so sorry, he must have heard me talking to Will," J.J. whispers to Spencer.

"Don't be. Kids are very intuitive. Henry's smart," Spencer compliments and J.J. rubs his back in circles.

Hotch walks out to the table and everyone waves or says their hellos.

"Hey, guys," Hotch says, nervously smiling.

They all talk for a second before Spencer excuses himself inside and sits in the bathroom. Spencer breaks down, sitting on the side on the bathtub, head in his hands. He crys a little at first, but as time passes, his sobs gets messier. Spencer abruptly stops when there's a knock on the door.

"O- Occupied!" Spencer says and turns on the faucet, cooling down the heat in his face.

"Spencer, it's me, open up," Hotch pleads from the other side and Spencer freezes.

"Okay, uh, hold on," Spencer says, fixing his hair and turning off the faucet.

Spencer opens it and Hotch stands there, looking him.

"Well, what is it?" Spencer asks, lip trembling.

Hotch steps in, shutting the door behind them, and wraps Spencer in a hug. Spencer breaks down once again, crying to much to elaborate what he's feeling.

"Is it what Henry said?" Hotch says, and Spencer nods, shocked that Hotch knows that.

"I- I don't blame Hen- Henry, but it-" Spencer begins crying harder and Hotch holds him.

"It's okay, Spencer. Take all the time you need," Hotch says, and Spencer nods.

"Did you, um, come yourself or did someone send you?" Spencer questions.

"The team was getting worried, so I offered to check on you," Hotch answers and Spencer releases him, wiping his eyes.

"I'm surprised you came to find me and not any of the others," Spencer says, running cold water on his face again.

"Well, Derek tried to get to you before I did, but I told him to stay," Aaron half smiles and Spencer dries off the excess water.

"Come on, there's someone I want you to meet," Aaron says, walking out.

Spencer follows, nervous by the new company, and asks, "New agent?"

"No," Aaron answers, opening the backyard door to see a pretty, blonde headed woman, wearing a tight black dress and silver jewelry.

"Spencer, meet Anne Brenner. My girlfriend," Hotch says, smiling wide.

Spencer's heart drops as he looks at Anne.

"Hi, Spencer, it's so nice to finally meet you in person. Aaron talks about you and how smart you are a lot," Anne smiles, holding her hand out for Spencer to shake.

"Hi," Spencer awkwardly smiles and waves.

Anne looks sad for a second until Hotch whispers something in her ear.

"Oh, right, you don't do handshakes. Sorry," Anne apologizes and Spencer nods.

Spencer ignores the conversation that the team continues with Anne. Jealousy causes his skin to boil and he drinks his water.

I shouldn't be jealous of Anne. Her and Hotch are happy together, Spencer thinks, minding to himself until Derek touches his shoulder.

"Hey, kid, you doing okay?" Derek whispers, not drawing attention to him and Spencer.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine. You?" Spencer says, briefly looking at Derek.

"Spencer, seriously. What's on your mind?" Derek pushes and Spencer looks away from Anne.

"Nothing, okay? I'm just tired," Spencer lies.

"Fine, kid. I'm here to talk."

Derek wanders off, and Spencer sits alone, yet again, thinking about Anne and Hotch.
