prompt; coming home.
with Jackson Hunt-Reid + Spencer Reid-Hunt.

AS TERRIBLE AS MEDICAL leave could be, it was sometimes a blessing for the Hunt-Reid family. Naturally, Jackson tended to worry whenever Spencer was injured in the field, but once they got the okay about his health, Jackson was pretty chill. When Spencer was ordered to go on medical leave for a couple weeks, it meant they didn't need a babysitter for their daughter.

But Jackson still missed his husband and partner in the field.

As Jackson walked the stone path that led to the small family home, he could hear the excited squeals of his daughter. He could even hear the daddy's home! from his husband once he stepped onto the porch. Jackson hadn't even had the chance to open the glass door, before the big wooden door was flung open and his daughter stood before him. Mia had jumped into his arms, and Jackson hadn't hesitated to catch her and press numerous kisses to her face to make her squeal.

Spencer stood in the foyer, with a smile on lips as he watched his little family. It was a couple minutes later that Jackson had finally stepped inside and pulled the doors shut. He placed Mia back on her feet, and sauntered towards his husband. Mindful of his husband's bad arm, Jackson rested his hand on Spencer's hip as he brought the man in for a quick kiss.

"I've missed you," Jackson murmured, and leaned forward to press a soft kiss to his husband's cheek.

Spencer smiled as their daughter wedged herself between them. "We missed you too, babe."

Jackson kissed his husband once more before he checked his watch. Then he glanced down to Mia and quirked an eyebrow. "Shouldn't you be in bed, little miss?"

"I want daddy to tuck me in." Mia stated as she crossed her arms. Spencer swore she got the sarcasm from Jackson and auntie Penelope. "Papa doesn't do the funny voice like you, daddy."

Spencer scoffed as he glanced between his family. "Excuse you, I do great voices."

Jackson pointed towards the stairs, "Go get your pajamas on, and I'll be up there soon to read your story."

Mia nodded and broke out into a run up the stairs. Jackson chuckled softly at his daughter, and once she was out of sight, he glanced towards Spencer. He yawned and blinked slowly as he dropped his bag.

Jackson hummed as Spencer brought him in for a hug. The feeling of his husband's arms wrapped tightly around his torso, and the feeling of the light kisses Spencer pressed against the column of his neck was the best welcome home he could receive from the love of the his life.

"Go put her to bed," Spencer murmured softly as Jackson begrudgingly pulled away from the embrace. "Then we can get into bed, alright? Welcome home, baby. I love you."

"I love you too, Spence." Jackson pressed one last lingering kiss to his husband's cheek before he headed up the stairs.

a/n ➸ fun fact: their daughter was supposed to be named abby, but then I've got another oc named abby, so that didn't happen 🤷🏻‍♀️ anyway, I love these two.
