It had been a while since Spencer had talked with Haley. Usually it was for brief moments while he waited for Hotch to grab his Go-bag and say goodbye to Jack, or when Aaron got hurt bad enough to end up in a hospital and Reid was chosen to tell her what happened (usually just as shaken up as she was). Needless to say, the fleeting moments weren’t very formative and they usually held dark, scared, feelings underneath the surface.
So seeing her smiling, handing members of the BAU glasses of wine as they sat around a living room...it felt so domestic it was almost uncomfortable.
Spencer crossed his legs as he sat on the couch, watching everybody talk but not feeling any need to get involved in the conversation. After a few more moments, he let himself slip away silently into the kitchen where he had seen Haley disappear to, hoping he might be able to busy himself with helping her with food or dishes. The problem, of course, was that he had no idea what to say to her beyond-
“Uh...did you need any help?”
