Spencer sat on the floor of the hallway outside of JJ's room, he was dressed in cords and a nice button down. Sandy and Gillian were helping JJ get ready while Andy was crying over the fact his daughter was growing so fast soon Gillian would be the only Jareau left in the house. After Andy finished his sob fest he climbed the stairs to find Spencer. "Why are you out here?"
"I'm not allowed to be in there she needs to look perfect." Sighed Spencer as he picked at his nail.

"What else is bothering you son? You know as well as I do that she was going to grow up sometime." Andy slid down to the floor to sit next to Spencer. "I'm too old for this Spencer next time go sit in a rocking chair."

Spencer let out a half hearted laugh, this was the man who was his father, not biologically but close enough. "It's just a received some news today and I don't know how to tell her... It'll break her heart..."

"What is it?" A look of concern crossed Mr. Jareau's face, was Diana okay?

The seventeen year old reached into his pocket and pulled out a ripped envelope and handed it over.
"Dear Spencer Reid,
We here at Cal Tech university are pleased to offer you a scholarship waving every fee for your time here as well as offering you early admission for upcoming classing this January. Please reply to us by November eighteenth and contact us @www.Caltechliason.com if you have any requests or concerns.
Sincerely, Arnold. T Wendover Cal Tech's Dean"

"Wow" Was all that Andy could say. "A full ride and early admission... Wow..."

Spencer nodded his head in reply. "I want to go to graduation with JJ... I want to go to Prom... I want to do all the 'cool' stuff you get to do as a senior like the beach party and stadium movie night.... But this might be the best for mom and I... I finish University early I already know everything they'll teach me in my first year so I just go straight to second year or breeze through everything. Then I get a good real job and I can put mom somewhere she'll be safe..."

"Then why aren't you accepting?"

Spencer's head turned to face the door the two men were sitting beside. "Because I can't leave her..."

A hand was lifted to pat Spencer's shoulder. "Spencer for the last fifteen years I have known you all you've ever done is put JJ in front of you for everything, when you were seven Jenny didn't make it into the spelling bee she lost to you by one point and you remember what you did? You told your teacher you were too afraid to be on stage so the spot had to go to JJ. Later that night I asked you why you would give something so special up and you said to me ' Her smile is far more important than a little gold trophy.' And that's when I figured out you would do anything for my little girl. But this time I think you need to do something for yourself."

Spencer was about to reply when she door swung to Gillian and Sandy walking out of the room. "Introducing Jennifer Jareau!" Gillian yelled clapping her hands. JJ walked out in her black dress, her hair slightly curled and very little make up on a bright gloss and mascara.

"Wow JJ you look, wow." Spencer breathed as he stood up from the wall followed by Andy.

"Awe thank you Spence you look great too, I'm sure Emily will love the colour matching as well." Spencer looked down to find he was also in all black, JJs dress was black and there was a highly good chance Emily's dress would be black as well.

"Strange huh?" He smiled taking JJ's hand leading her down the stairs.

"We need a picture of the two of you before your dates get here!" Ordered Sandy.

JJ swiftly pulled Spencer closer to her wrapping arms around his waist. "This isn't Prom mom no need for a photo shoot." JJ laughed.

"I know dear but you two just look so cute!" Sandy chipped snapping another picture, the moment ended all too soon for Spencer when he heard the sound of a car door slam. Looking out the front window he found Emily and Will walking out of the car arguing over something. When they reached the front door JJ had already thrown it open ushering them inside.

"Mom, dad this is Will, Will these are my parents." The happy blonde introduced.

"It's a pleasure to meet y'all." Will stated holding out his hand.

Andy shook it first followed by Sandy. "Are you from New Orleans?" Her father asked placing the accent.

"That's right sir born and raised for the most part till my pops met her Mama." Will said gesturing to Emily.

"And where are you from dear?" Sandy asked.

"I was born in Washington but I lived in Europe for a while, moved to New Orleans when I was fifteen, then back to Washington and now I'm here."

Gillian's eyes widened with excitement. "Wow Europe! Were you in France and stuff?"
"Yeah France for a little while, I was in Rome for quite sometime but my favourite had to be Greece."
"That's where the pink beach is!" The small girl jumped around.

"I have sand from there actually in a key chain." Emily stated smiling at the younger girl.

Gillian's eyes nearly popped out of her head! "I like her Spency!"

The room let out a laugh before the teenagers hurried out the door to be on time for the dance. "Bye mom!" JJ called out. "We'll go to Diana's tonight so don't wait up!"

When the door closed they head down to the car before Spencer stopped JJ. "I didn't know we were going to my moms." He turned his head quickly making sure Will and Emily weren't around to hear him. "I would have put mom in her room... Not left her on the couch... What if they want to come over..." He whispered.

JJ shook her head walking to the midnight blue Lexus, Will was holding the door for JJ and Emily had already seated her self in the back. "We aren't going home Spence theirs an after party Will and I are going to."

"Oh... Are Emily and I going?"

"No!" Will cut in. "I only get one guest sorry kid."
