Maybe New York wasn't as glamorous as France, but it worked for them. Derek had been teasing him for years now for not visiting when it was so close, leading Spencer to initially believe Derek was kidding when he brought up the possibility. Now that they had arrived, it was obviously the best choice they could have made. Oh sure, a week at The Lowell cost more than a month’s pay, but being in a hotel room that looked nothing like any of the hotels they regularly stayed in was worth it. The view from the balcony wasn’t bad either and being a block away from Central Park didn’t hurt.
“Well pretty boy, what should we do next?” Derek asked as they lounged in their suite’s extra large bathtub.
Derek’s chest was warm against Spencer’s back, making him feel lazy. “Doesn’t really matter as long as it’s with you,” he replied, earning him a soft kiss just below his ear.
“Mmm...all mine,” Derek stated, his face still lost somewhere in Spencer’s hair. Every time Derek exhaled, it tickled a bit, but he didn’t mind.
“Yes, all yours, for as long as you’ll have me.”
Derek grinned, his face still buried in his hair. “Well, you’d better look forward to spending forever with me because that’s how long I’m keeping you. I promise.”
He looked down at their matching wedding bands and sighed, content in the knowledge that Derek always kept his promises.

Five hours. Five hours with a four year old and for at least three of those hours, Henry would be asleep. Spencer thought this seemed reasonable and thankfully, Henry only threw one tantrum at bath time and Spencer easily redirected him with a promise of watching The Wiggles once he was clean.
Morgan came over just after Henry's bedtime to keep him company. After checking to make sure Henry was still sound asleep, Spencer turned to see Morgan leaning against a wall, arms crossed and a grin spread wide across his face.
"What?"
"I'm just...imagining it. I mean, you as a dad."
"Is it really that funny?"
Morgan wrapped his arms around Spencer. "No baby, you know I love thinking of you as a dad. You'll be great at it."
He was glad for Morgan's embrace; it helped make him feel less insecure. "But what about the Reid effect?"
"I think Jack and Henry and Clooney prove that there are plenty exceptions to the rule, if it's even a rule at this point."
Spencer sighed. “But they’re just used to me.”
“Pretty boy, our kid will be ‘used to’ you too. You need to stop worrying and use that energy to help me work on the adoption papers instead.”
“I am better at paperwork than you,” he teased.
Morgan chuckled. “Damn right you are. Now get your ass back over to the couch; I just wanna make out like teenagers before I have to sneak out the back window or something.”
“That sounds acceptable,” he said with a grin, tugging Morgan in the direction of the living room.
