I have never read nor seen any of the Lord of the Rings books/movies, which is why there are no details of Spencer's conversation.
There is some Japanese in this chapter. I have put the translations (which I got from google translate) in brackets.
Since there is no information on the ages of the Morgan sisters. I have come up with my own. Sarah was born March 7, 1964 (same year but different date as the actress that plays her), making her 9 years older than Derek. She is 47 in this fic! If you don’t know and want to know, Derek was born June 6, 1973. He is 38. The only information about his dad’s death is that Derek was ten years old. So I’m going to say it was toward the end of 1983. There is no information I could find about the birthday of the actress who plays Desiree. So I chose for Fran to be pregnant when her husband dies. Desiree was born April 13, 1984, making her 11 years younger (at least for the most part). She is 27. Spencer if you care was born October 9, 1981 and is 30 in this story.
The family tree in the ending notes.

Derek grins happily at his family. He is thrilled to be spending Christmas with his whole family: with his sisters, his mother, his nieces and nephews, his brother-in-law and Spencer. Derek wants nothing more than to show Spencer off to his family. He wraps one arm around Spencer and one around his baby sister while Sarah and Fran trail behind, and he leads them to the baggage area. Spencer grabs the rolling suitcase while Derek slings the duffel bag and the bag of presents over his shoulder.
Spencer is quiet on the way to the car, listening carefully to Fran as she talks excitedly about her grandchildren as they walk side by side. The three Morgan siblings walk together just behind them.
“Has Matt asked you out yet?” Derek asks Desiree.
“How many times do I have to tell you, we are just friends!”
Smirking, Derek retorts, “Sure, you are.”
Desiree is silent, obviously thinking. Finally, she asks meekly, “Do you really think he likes me?”
“Of course, Ree. The boy is pining after you, has been for years. I’m a profiler; I see these things.”
The youngest Morgan grins, “Thanks Derek.” She looks from Derek to Spencer, “Apparently your profiler skills don’t apply to everyone, now do they?”
Derek follows her pointed gaze. “Yeah, I definitely wasn’t aware of that,” he says. Derek doubts he ever would have seen it on his own.
The three siblings slow, creating a gap between them and Fran and Spencer. Desiree eyes Spencer’s back. “How is it going anyway? You know, with Spencer?”
Derek grins effortlessly. “Great, seriously great. He’s…perfect. Everything I ever wished for and more.” There is no doubt in his voice, just happiness and adoration.
Sarah has been quiet so far but finally breaks in. “But he’s a guy. I don’t get it. How can you want him after what Buford did to you?”
Derek stops abruptly, furious. As much as he wants to yell, he doesn’t want either his mama or Spencer to hear him. Derek hisses harshly, “Don’t you dare compare what I have with Spencer to fucking Buford! Do you even hear yourself? If Spencer was a woman you would never, ever make comparisons. Would you say the same to a woman who has been raped? Would you judge her for being with a man when the person who raped her was male? Because that is what you are doing right now but to me, your own brother!”
Sarah listens in horror, her mind shouting *No, no, no!* as she realizes what she said to him. Tears fall down her cheeks, “Oh my god, Derek. I’m sorry! I can’t believe I…please forgive me! I would never—”
Derek doesn’t hesitate and wraps his older sister in a tight hug. Sarah sobs into his chest, chanting “I’m sorry” over and over. She feels such shame for saying something so judgmental and cruel to her own brother. Derek is happy and isn’t afraid to show it, yet the first thing she does is judge him because of who it is that makes him happy.
Spencer and Fran either hear her cries or notice the three siblings are no longer behind them. Fran hurries over to her children, “What happened?” Her eyes flick back and forth between her three children, looking for an explanation. Spencer stands uncertainly off to the side, not really sure what he should be doing. He is an only child and most of his life it has just been him and his mom. Spencer doesn’t have a lot of experience dealing with emotional familial interactions, arguments and tears included.
Desiree doesn’t answer, feeling it is Derek’s and Sarah’s place to explain what happened. Derek runs his hands soothingly down Sarah’s back as she continues to weep and repeat “I’m sorry.” Kissing her forehead, “I know, Sarah. I know.” When the oldest Morgan finally gains control of her emotions she eases back, staring her brother in the eye she exclaims, “I never meant to—to…”
“Sarah, I know. But whatever your intention, you can’t talk about me or Spencer that way. I love him. What I feel for him and what we do together has absolutely nothing to do with what happened to me.”
She nods jerkily. “I understand. I never meant to, you know. I am just having a hard time understanding how my 38 year old brother is suddenly in a gay relationship.”
None of the Morgan women notice that Spencer cringes when Sarah says that but Derek does. He goes over to Spencer and presses him to his side. “You don’t have to understand, Sarah. You only have to accept me, accept us. I have faith you can do that. Don’t make me choose between you and Spencer, you won’t win.”
Sarah’s mouth hangs open in shock at that. “You—you?” She cannot even finish the question, she is utterly flabbergasted. Sarah is astonished that Derek feels that strongly about Spencer in such a short time.
Derek is firm in his answer, “I would.” Spencer’s mouth opens and closes wordlessly. He stares in shock at his love. Derek looks deeply into Spencer’s eyes, cups his cheek and repeats, “I would.”
The Morgan women watch as Spencer melts at the promise and under Derek’s loving gaze. No one has ever chosen Spencer over anyone; he has never been the most important person in anyone’s life…not before Derek. Sarah can’t help but say to herself, “He really would.”
Desiree gloats quietly, “I told you so.” Fran scolds, “Girls!” She feels a little like gloating herself, “I did tell you, Sarah. Derek is completely gone on Spencer.” She smiles at the two men; they are completely lost in each other. This is exactly what she wanted for Derek, what she wants for all her children: to have someone’s unconditional love and unwavering devotion. Fran nudges her girls, shooing them toward the car. After a minute, she touches Derek’s back. He turns, finally remembering they aren’t alone. “I’m sorry, Mama. I just couldn’t let her—”
“Shh, Derek. Sarah needed a wakeup call. It was bound to happen and maybe now she will think a bit more before she speaks.” Seeing the guilt flashing on Spencer’s face, she smiles gently and says, “Spencer, dear. You have nothing to feel guilty about. You’ve done absolutely nothing wrong.” Spencer smiles tentatively back at her. “Come on boys, let’s go home.”

The ride back to Sarah’s house is relaxed. While Derek and Spencer will stay at Fran’s, only Sarah’s house is big enough to fit the whole large family comfortably. Spencer tries to give the seat to Fran but she adamantly refuses. Fran eyes the tall, long-legged genius pointedly. Derek smiles, “What she is trying to say is trying to force your obscenely long legs into the backseat of her car is frankly ridiculous, Babe. Just get in the front seat.” With reluctance, Spencer obeys, sitting tensely in the seat next to Derek while he drives them to Sarah’s.
Fran sits quietly in the back while her two daughters argue about which book series is better: Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings. Spencer bites his lip, trying to keep his own opinion inside. Derek hides his own grin, knowing how much Spencer wants to jump in. The genius has his hands clenched tight in an effort to keep his mouth shut. Derek touches Spencer’s hand and he looks over at him. Derek smirks and nods. When there is a pause in the argument, Spencer opens his mouth to add his own opinion. But before he can Desiree blurts out, “What do you think Spencer?”
Spencer starts in surprise, feeling a burst of happiness at the youngest Morgan including him in their conversation. Breathlessly, words tumble out of his mouth and he waves his hands and arms wildly, unable to hold back his excitement.
Sarah’s eyes widen at the sight; she has never seen someone this unabashedly excited. She can only see the flaying of his hands and arms from her seat behind him but she can hear the enthusiasm in his voice. Sarah imagines his face is intensely animated and his brown eyes are twinkling in excitement. What surprises her most though is the expression on her brother’s face as he glances over at Spencer; it is full of adoration and fondness. Sarah has never see Derek look at anyone the way he looks at Spencer. *God, Derek loves him so much.* She still doesn’t understand how this relationship happened or how it works. All Sarah knows is that she has to support them and their relationship or she will lose Derek. Her brother looks at Spencer like he’s the sun, as if Spencer is the very air he needs to breathe and they’ve only been together a few months.
Spencer talks the rest of the way to house about the two book series, as well as the movies based off them. While he clearly favors the Lord of the Rings over Harry Potter, his words show a certain fondness for Rowling’s series as well. When Derek parks in the driveway, Spencer finally realizes that he’s been talking the whole time and snaps his mouth shut. His body tenses, he’d wanted to make a good impression on the Morgan family. He’d wanted them to get to know him a bit before he revealed his boring, rambling self. Less than an hour in and he’s already screwed that plan up. Spencer doesn’t want the Morgan family to roll their eyes at him and scoff in derision that Derek turned gay for him. He is unsure whether he should apologize or just keep his mouth shut for once.
Before he can decide what to do, Desiree blurts out “That was AWESOME! Sarah, why didn’t you explain the Lord of the Rings like that? I would have read them long ago!” Spencer blinks stupidly in surprise. Desiree mumbles almost to herself, “Should I read the books first or watch the films…” Both Sarah and Spencer give her a ‘duh’ look. “Books, of course!” she chirps, “Why did I even ask?”
Sarah looks pleased as she gloats, “Didn’t I tell you you should read the Lord of the Rings series? But noooo, you thought they were stupid! One word from a genius and you suddenly decide to read them!”
“Well, yeah! He’s read like a gazillion books! He would know!” Desiree retorts.
Spencer wrinkles his brow at the word gazillion.
“A gazillion, really?” Sarah asks sarcastically.
“Like I know how many books he’s read!” Desiree glances at Spencer, “Don’t you read like a million words a minute or something?”
“20,000,” Spencer mumbles.
Desiree rolls her eyes, “20,000, a million, whatever.” She asks curiously, “Exactly how many books have you read?”
They all laugh at the expression on his face, he clearly does know how many books he’s read but doesn’t want to say. They suspect the number is amazingly high. Spencer blushes but pointedly doesn’t answer.
Derek thinks he looks adorable. “Alright, leave him alone. Let’s get inside. It is too damned cold to sit out here in the car.”
CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM*CM
Derek gets out and helps his mother out of the car. Like the gentleman he is, he escorts his mama to the house and delivers her safely inside. In the meantime, Spencer hovers hesitantly, uncertain whether he should follow Derek or get the bag of presents out of the trunk. He is about to grab the bag when Derek comes back and takes the bag himself. “Come on, Pretty Boy. Let’s get inside and get you warm.”
The moment they get inside, Derek is mobbed by three children. “Uncle Derek! Uncle Derek!” He hands the bag to Spencer and scoops up two identical six year old twin boys. “Darius! Damien! Are you excited for Santa? Have you both been good?” The boys nod frantically. Derek sets them down and squats in front of a beautiful ten year old girl, “What about you, Kiaria? Keeping your brothers out of trouble?” The girl ducks her head shyly, “I try, Uncle Derek.” He smiles fondly at her, “Of course you do Sweetheart.” He kisses her cheek before standing up again. Just as Derek is about to introduce Spencer to Sarah’s three youngest, her two oldest children walk in.
Derek opens his arms and hugs twenty-seven year old Cassandra very gently, rubbing her pregnancy bump. “How are you feeling Cassie?” he asks, admiring her pregnancy glow. “I’m doing great, Uncle Derek. I think I’m grossing Michael out with my cravings, though.” Derek laughs. He knows her husband Michael is squeamish; it doesn’t take much to gross him out. Derek gives twenty-four year old Isiah a bear hug. “What about you, Siah? How’s the army treating you?” His nephew smiles, “Good. I lucked out and my unit got leave for Christmas this year.”
Through all the greetings, Spencer stands back, the bag of presents held in front of him like a shield and attempts to be invisible. Despite knowing everyone’s name already, he is feeling a bit overwhelmed by seeing so many new people. With three young children around, Spencer is eternally thankful for Henry. His godson not only proved that he isn’t cursed. Henry has also helped him be more comfortable around children.
The twins are trying to crawl up Derek’s body and he indulgently picks them both up again. He turns around, spotting Spencer hiding by the door. Derek walks over to him, “Everyone, this is Spencer. Spencer, these are most of my nieces and nephews.” When Spencer doesn’t speak, he nudges him.
“Um…hi,” Spencer says shyly, giving an awkward little wave.
Darius wiggles until Derek lets him down. He stares up at Spencer, tugging on his pants until the lithe genius squats down. Curious innocent eyes stare at Spencer. “Are you Uncle Derek’s boyfriend?”
Spencer looks startled by the question but answers truthfully, “Yes.” He and Derek had talked about it and Derek decided he wants to be open with his family, even the kids, about their relationship.
The little boy’s expression is solemn for a moment before he chirps, “Okay.” Then, Dai runs off with Damien following. That seems to break the ice and the others start approaching Spencer. Cassie is the first, being the oldest of the massive clan and the most outgoing. “Hello, Spencer. So nice to finally meet you! Welcome to our ever growing family! By some miracle, we were all able to make it to Christmas this year,” she jabbers as she hugs Spencer. “You sure are a cute one, if I wasn’t married and six months pregnant, I’d give Uncle Derek a run for his money,” Cassie winks. Spencer flushes pink at the unexpected flirting. Derek pulls his Pretty Boy close, joking “Keep your greedy little hands away, he’s mine!” Cassandra laughs, “But he’s so adorable!” Spencer blushes hotly, turning his face into Derek’s neck to hide how red he is. Luckily, Cassie’s husband walks in.
Derek calls out, “Michael! Take your wife away. She’s known Spencer for a minute and she’s already threatening to steal him away.” Michael Washington is a huge, 6’6” college football coach. With his large size and shaved head, he is intimidating looking but is truly a big softie, especially with his loved ones. He’s a bit like Derek, a taller, wider, darker version of Derek. “Come on, Honey. Let’s get you something to eat,” Michael says as he puts an arm around his wife. Over his shoulder he says, “Nice to meet you, Spencer.”
When they leave, Isiah steps up, despite Kiaria clinging to his pants and hiding shyly behind him. He sticks out his hand, Spencer hesitates, not really wanting to shake hands but not wanting to be rude either. Derek solves the problem for him, “Sorry Siah, Spencer doesn’t shake hands. Bit of a germophobe.” Isiah nods in understanding. Spencer makes a face, “Do you know how many germs are on a person’s palm?” Ruffling his Baby’s hair, “Of course I do. You’ve told me enough times.” Spencer pouts a little, which of course is adorable. Laughing, Derek says “I taught Spencer to fist bump.” Isiah grins and sticks out his fist, which Spencer taps with his own briefly.
“I suppose we better find the rest of our bunch,” Derek proclaims. He guides Spencer to the kitchen with a possessive hand at the small of his back. Once inside, they spot the rest of the clan. Cassie and Michael sit at one end of the large dining table. Cassie is eating sour cream right out of the container while Michael looks decidedly green but does nothing to stop her. The poor man will give her anything she wishes, even if it disgusts him. At the other end of the able Desiree is sitting with three people in their early twenties. Fran is cutting up a coffeecake while Sarah is working side by side with a Japanese man making an elaborate brunch.
Derek addresses his young niece and nephew first, “Mi, Ry. A pleasure to see you both again.” Both greet Derek with a warm hello. “This is Spencer, my boyfriend. Spencer, this is my niece and nephew Mi and Ryuu.” Spencer waves and says hi to them both and they do the same to him. Both Mi and Ryuu are from Aki’s first marriage. He was married ten years to Ren, who he had known since they were children, until her death. Mi gestures to the man beside her, “This is my boyfriend Miguel.”
Spencer greets him, giving his typical awkward wave, “Hello.”
“Hey Miguel, good to see you again. Have you decided on a specialty yet?” Derek asks.
“Pediatrics.”
“That’s great man! It’s perfect for you.” Derek knows Miguel is great with kids and has no doubt he will make a phenomenal pediatric physician.
Miguel grins back. “Thanks.”
The group notices Derek and Spencer eying Aki and they go back to their conversation without protest.
Derek walks toward Aki Takada, who is making chocolate waffles. “Aki, great to see you. How is the restaurant business treating you?” The man smiles at Derek, “Good. Busy.”
Spencer sniffs the air discretely, it smells delicious in here. Not that he is surprised with a prominent chef in the house. Aki has three very different but very successful restaurants.
“This is Spencer, my boyfriend.”
Aki looks up and smiles genuinely, “Nice to meet you.” He doesn’t seem to have any of his wife Sarah’s apprehensions in terms of Derek’s relationship with Spencer.
“Nice to meet you, too, Aki. The food smells delicious,” Spencer admits.
Aki smiles and bows, “Arigatō. [thank you]”
Spencer bows back respectfully, “Dōitashimashite. [you’re welcome]”
Aki looks surprised, “Anata wa nihongo o hanasemasu ka? [Do you speak Japanese?]”
“Sukoshi.” Spencer puts his index finger and thumb together, almost touching. “I learned a little on the plane and while waiting to board.”
The whole room watches the interaction with interest.
Oblivious of the attention, Spencer continues, “Anata no ie ni watashitachi o shōtai shite itadaki arigatōgozaimasu. [Thank you for inviting us into your home.]”
Aki is clearly impressed. “Sore wa watashitachi no meiyodearu. Kore de, famirīdearu. [It is our honor. You are family now.]”
Spencer is suitably touched and whispers sincerely “Arigatō. Sore wa watashi ni ōku no koto o imi shimasu. [Thank You. That means a lot to me.]”
Sarah gapes at the genius. “Are you kidding me? You learned all that in less than two hours!” She doesn’t even want to admit how long it took her to learn even a little Japanese. They’ve been married for twelve years and she can still only grasp basic Japanese. As much as she’s tried, she can’t seem to wrap her brain around the language. Their three children are all bilingual, and so are Aki’s oldest Mi and Ryuu. Even Cassie and Isiah are fairly fluent in Japanese.
Spencer shrugs modestly, not wanting to brag about how easily languages come to him.
Derek, of course, has no such qualms. He boasts proudly, “Spencer can speak fluent Spanish, Italian, Russian, German, and Latin. He also can read in all those languages. His Arabic and French are improving as well. I’m guessing it won’t take long for him to learn Japanese either.” Spencer’s mother taught him Latin. And although she couldn’t speak it, she taught him to read Russian. He only had to teach himself to speak it. Prentiss’s fluency in Spanish, and Italian also helped Spencer learn those languages fairly quickly. Italian was especially easy as Spencer had both Rossi and Prentiss to learn from. Emily is now working on helping him become fluent in Arabic and French, while he is helping her improve her fluency in Russian.
“Am I the only one that feels like a complete idiot now?” mumbles Desiree.
“Nope,” Sarah chirps while Ryuu, Mi, and Miguel all shake their heads in disbelief.
Ryuu wonders aloud, “Just how smart are you?”
Spencer blushes, “Um…I have an IQ of 187?”
Derek laughs, “He’s a genius, let’s leave it at that.” If they try to explain all the things Spencer knows and just how smart he truly is, they’ll be here all night.
“No shit,” murmurs Sarah.
Fran scolds, “Sarah!”
“Sorry.”
A few moments later, Damien and Darius come barging in. “Otōsan [Dad], it’s broken!” Damien says holding up their favorite robot toy. Darius asks, “Can you fix it?”
“I can’t right now, boys. I’ll look at it after brunch, okay?”
Spencer says hesitantly, “I could look at it…” He is generally a technophobe but he wanted impress Derek’s nephews with the perfect gift, so he had built them both working robots. With his engineering degree and some consulting help from the head of engineering department at his alma mater who builds robots in his spare time, he had figured it out.
The two boys look to their father, who nods, and they hand over their robot reverently. Spencer takes it carefully and sits at the table. He turns it on and notices that one of the legs isn’t working. “Do you have a screwdriver?” Sarah nods and goes to retrieve the tool box. Screwdriver in hand, Spencer attempts to find the problem with the robot. The twins watch in avid interest as Spencer gingerly takes the robot apart. Finding the thankfully easily fixable problem, it takes him little time to repair the robot. Putting it back together, Spencer pushes the on button and smiles when all the robot’s limbs work again.
Both Damien’s and Darius’s gaze worshipfully at Spencer as he hands the toy back.
Spencer squirms a little under the stare of the twins. They are looking at him like he’s their hero!
“Boys! What do you say?” Aki scolds.
“Thank you! Um…” Damien says. He’s clearly forgotten Spencer’s name.
“Thank you, Spencer!” Darius squeals as he bounces excitedly. Dai throws himself into Spencer’s lap, hugging his little arms around his thin waist.
“You’re welcome.” He pats Dai’s back lightly. When the boy pulls back, his twin dives equally enthusiastically into Spencer. Then they run off to play.
“And with that, Derek is no longer the Trouble D’s favorite uncle!” Desiree declares laughingly.
“Hey!” Derek protests.
Desiree warns, “You better watch yourself, Derek. Spencer’s getting me to read the Lord of the Rings books, already knows more Japanese than you and me combined, and the twins think he’s a god. Before long, Spencer is going to Mom’s favorite son!” She pauses dramatically before declaring, “He’s already my favorite brother!”
“Hey!” Derek gets a wicked look in his eye and Desiree jumps up. Derek chases her around the kitchen, yelling jokingly “Take that back!”
The rest of the family watches on in amusement. Derek and Desiree are notoriously immature together.
Desiree hides behind Spencer, who giggles at their antics. Derek grabs his sister’s arm and tosses her over his shoulder. He swings her around while she kicks her legs, “Who is your favorite brother?”
Laughing, she says “Spencer!”
Derek slaps her butt, “Who is your favorite brother?”
“Spencer!”
“Don’t make me tickle you!”
“That’s cheating!”
Derek tickles her briefly as a warning, he isn’t afraid to fight dirty.
“You are! You are, I promise! No tickling! Now, put me down!”
Fran shakes her head at her two youngest. She puts her arm around Spencer, whispering conspiratorially “Those two will never grow up.”
