chapter 6: happy birthday

it has been two days since alaska and no one messed with you. you tried not to be seen in public with the team unless you had a case because you had no idea where your father was but he probably knows right where you were. the only person on the team who knew what was going on was penelope but she hadn't told anyone on the team because she knows that you try to keep the team and your private life private.

-

you had just arrived at the office with a cake in hand. it was a minimalistic cake (chocolate ofc), with white frosting, a purple barrier, and the words 'happy birthday genius!' in purple frosting. penny assigned everyone duties. you had to get the cake, jj and emily had to hunt down sparkler candles, penny had to decorate the conference room, morgan had to pick up reid and make him a little late, and hotch and rossi had to sit there and look pretty.

you set down the cake and put your present on the table where everyone else had put theirs. a while ago you came upon a rare antique shakespeare's first folio and you knew it was perfect for spencer's birthday. it was kind of pricey but it was totally worth it. even though you guys were kind of fighting you still had to give it to him because he would always talk about it. you actually had a box of things. you put in the book, the original star trek script with everyone on the casts signature, and some edgar allen poe books. penelope came running into the bullpen and then to the conference room. everyone followed knowing what was happening. jj stuck the candles in the cake. spencer and morgan were making their way to the conference room so jj lit the candles.

"happy birthday to you!" you and rest of the team sang as reid walked into the conference room.

"happy birthday to youuu! happy birthday dear spencerrr! happy birthday to you!" you all clapped. everyone was smiling including you. everyone took a seat and reid was across from you.

"happy birthday old man" you giggled and reid stared at you shocked.

"hey! your older than me!" reid defended himself.

"yes i will never forget that i was breathing before you, but...i am a old lady not an old man and everyone loves old ladies, they always have snacks for when people come over but i can't say the same thing for old men. they are the only s that scream 'get off my lawn'" you imitated an old mans voice. spencer only responded with a scoff and a laugh.

"hey look at that. it only took a birthday to make pretty girl smile." derek pointed out.

"wha- i-" you tried to defend yourself to the team.

"i have smiled plenty." you said then taking a bite of the cake. almost everyone in the conference room burst out laughing.

"ok ok! reid it's present time!" penny squealed. reid got up and went to the table with all the presents. he opened dereks present first then penelope's, she got him a lot of colorful, fluffy things because he 'needed' more shazam in his life. he next picked up yours. his face dropped as he looked around the box.

"who got me this?" no emotion in his voice. you hesitantly raised your hand. what happened? did i do something wrong? should i have not gotten him this? your thoughts were interrupted by spencer pulling you into a hug that lifted you off the ground. he spun the two of you around.

"thank you thank you thank you thank you so so so so so much!!" he said, excitement laced his voice.

"loosing oxygen" you tapped his back. he put you back down right away.

"i'm sorry. did i hurt you?" he checked all around your body and made you burst out into laughter.

"no genius you just hugged me too tight." you laughed as he let out a sigh of relief.
