-JJ's POV-
"JJ?" A voice says.
I quickly wipe the tears, "yeah?" I ask and turn around to find Penelope and Emily.
"What was that about?" Emily asks and Penelope just looks at me, worried.
"Oh um I just felt a little sick." I say, lying through my teeth.
Penelope just stares, Emily looks at my face, "are you profiling me?" I ask her.
"Oh um sorry." Emily looks down and whispers.
"Screw it, JJ? Spencer says as he walks into the girls bathroom.
He awkwardly looks around. His big brown chocolate eyes find mine.
"JJ, are you okay?" He asks and puts his warm hand on my shoulder.
I feel the electricity go through me like it did when we first kissed.
I'm gonna miss those big warm lips, I think.
Then I get on my tippy toes, I put my arms around his neck and kiss him, he kisses me back.
"Ooooo" Penelope and Emily giggle.
I pull from his lips and I look into his surprised eyes, I give him a little smile.
"Guys?" Hotch's stern voice says.
We all turn to him, "briefing." He says.
We nod and walk to the briefing room, I sit beside Spencer and I open my file.
I look at Hotch who gives me a quick "I'm sorry." look.
"Okay my Avengers, you guys are going to be going to California, there has been 4 murders, Maggie Steels, Abigail Brendon, Maddy Hart, and Katy Hook were all found in 4 abandoned parks, all were stabbed with a heart carved in their backs. All were pregnant but they were found with no baby. They all were kidnapped 4 weeks before they were due." Penelope says.
"The clean clothes and the bodies being clean means this unsub could be a women." Spencer says.
"But what does the heart mean?" Morgan asks.
"You think the unsub loves all of the victims?" Emily asks.
"I don't think that's the case." I say.
"Alright wheels up." Hotch says, we all walk out and go to our cars to get our to go bags.
"JJ." Spencer says, I look up from the trunk.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"I'm not stupid. I know something is wrong." He says.
I look down and continue to get my bags.
"JJ, all I see is my wife in pain and I want to help you." He begs.
That statement makes me want to cry.
"I'm fine spence, perfectly fine." I say grabbing my bag then walking off.
I leave him standing confused in the parking lot.
I run to the jet and into the jet bathroom.
Luckily no one was on the jet when I got on.
I let my tears come out. I sit on the bathroom floor and cry.
I feel the plane slowly taking off.
Knock knock
"JJ?" Emily says.
I try not to sniffle.
"I know your in there." She says.
I bury my face into my knees.
"Someone really needs you to comfort them." She says, then my text tone goes off.
I open my phone, I look at the text.
The text is a picture of Spencer in a ball on a chair in the back of the plane.
He had the same face he had when Maeve died.
I slam open the bathroom door and run to him. I pull him into my arms.
"I'm sorry baby, I'm sorry." I whisper into his ear.
He looks up, his red puffy eyes looking at me, with pain.
He gives me a slight smile then he goes back into his ball.
I brush some of his hair back behind his ear.
I put my head onto his shoulder and slowly fall asleep.

"JJ, JJ." I wake up, I look around and see a now much happier Spencer.
I smile.
"We just landed." He says.
"Help me up?" I complain.
He laughs and grabs my hands, he pulls me up.
We get our bags.
Me, Spencer and Morgan get in a car, the others in another car.
We drive to the California police department.
"Hi I'm SSA Agent Aaron Hotchner, that's SSA Jennifer Jareau, SSA David Rossi, SSA Derek Morgan, SSA Emily Prentiss and Dr. Spencer Reid." Hotch introduces all of us to the California deputy.
"Dr? Aren't you a little young?" The deputy says.
"P-"
"PHDs, 3 of them." We all cut off Spencer.
Spencer awkwardly smiles and the deputy looks surprised.
"Alright JJ and Reid I need you to work in victimology and the profile, Prentiss and Morgan go to the Morgue, me and Rossi will go to the newest crime scene." Hotch says and we all go our separate ways.
"Well let's gets started." I say and we go into the room with the board.

*a few hours later*
"JJ, a Reid we have a lead. David Heroldson, 2476 Fox Chase Drive." Morgan days through the phone.
"Alright we will meet you there." Spencer says.
We get our guns and vests, then we run out of the building and get into the car.

"Please be careful." I tell Spencer as I pull up the gravel road.
"I will, you be careful too." He says.
I smile, "Go take the front, I'll get the back." I say.
He kisses me and we walk our separate ways.
"DAVID HEROLDSON FBI!" I yell as I kick down the door.
I feel a hand go over my mouth.
"SPENC-" I get cut off.
"Put the gun down David." Spencer calmly says.
"No, this is all your faults. You killed my wife while she was pregnant." David says.
"David your wife killed herself, the cop was trying to help her." Spencer says.
"No-no your tricking me." He says.
"David the cop was just trying to help her." Spencer says.
David slowly puts the gun down.
I run over to Spencer.
"Your lying!" David yells.
"JJ!" Spencer screams.
Bang bang
I hear the guns go off, I wait for the stinging to come, but it doesn't.
Morgan runs over to David's body.
I look on top of me.
"SPENCER!" I scream.
I lift his head up onto my lap.
He slowly blinks.
"Spence?" I whisper.
"I-I'm okay, it just hit my vest." Spencer says, slowly getting his breathe back.
I breathe out. "Thank god." I say and I kiss him.

*Back at the BAU*
"You sure your okay?" I ask Spencer as we get off of the plane.
"I'm fine." He assures.
"JJ my office." Hotch says.
"Okay." I say trying to hide the worry in my voice.
I give Spencer a peck on the lips and I go into his office.
Hotch puts some papers in front of him.
"I'm so sorry JJ." He says.
