QUESTION OF THE CHAPTER: do you want to have kids/already have kids? how many?

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

It had been over a month since Oliver left back to University.

And it had also been a month since Thaleia was requested to work on another case for the BAU.

Things were good for her: she was slowly starting to accept that maybe she felt something more towards Oliver than a 'silly crush'. And the boy was really happy to hear that. She had mentioned it to him when she attended one of his basketball games, after praising his skills, to which the boy blushed madly.

Sure, he had been told before that he was really good at it but having the girl he was in love with say it felt so different. She even kissed him on the cheek!

Neither of them knew exactly what they were, but they didn't care. It felt nice when they were in each other's company and that was all that mattered, apparently.

On the other hand, there was Reid, who was relieved about not having Thaleia around but at the same time longed for her presence: she had been around for quite a while and not seeing or hearing her was slightly weird for him now.

To make things worse for the boy-genius, Penelope talked a lot with JJ and Prentiss about Thaleia, and how she would tell her about the 'dates' she and Oliver had, how things were going with the long distance whatever-ship they had going on. It did make Spencer slightly mad when the analyst mentioned the basketball game Thaleia had attended of the boy.

Maybe they are actually dating...

36 days after seeing Thaleia for the last time, the girl walked in as if she owned the place, scaring Morgan in the process just to laugh about the face he had made.

"You startled me" he tried to play it cool.

"Such a fancy language... don't lie to yourself, you almost shit your pants"

"I did not!"

"Yes you did!"

"I did n-"

"It's not worth it, Morgan" the Doctor interfered, walking between the two and back to his desk after grabbing a coffee.

"Hello to you too, Bubbles"

"Drop the nickname, Thaleia. You don't even know why you call me that"

"Says who?" she skipped over to him "I have a reason for everything I do, Doctor Reid" the girl said with a smirk, hand flying to his head to pull back the hair falling over his face "Wow, your hair's so long"

"Yeah, it tends to do that after a while of not cutting it, Miss Blair"

"That is Doctor to you, Doctor"

"That's right" Morgan called out "Rossi mentioned to us that you have a lot of degrees, even more than Reid"

"That is correct" the girl moved to stand behind the mentioned boy, hands still in his hair.

"How did you manage to do so?"

"Well, being smart and knowing the right people has its perks... connections are one of the most important things in one's life" she replied without looking up from her work.

"Ouch! Stop that!" Spencer tried to pull away from whatever her hands were doing on his head.

"Ssh!" she slapped him on the forehead "Stop fussing, I'm just braiding your hair" with a faked annoyance, the boy victim of Thaleia's hairdressing side, sat back on his chair, letting the girl do whatever she wanted with his hair.
