Smart Girl(A Criminal Minds/Spencer Reid Fan-fiction) BOOK TWO

Chapter Five: Falling Into Place

        I knocked on the door of JJ hospital room. She had her baby. I smiled.

        "Spence, hi. Welcome back." 

        "Wow. Congratulations." He shook Will's hand. 

        "Thanks."

        'How is it that I just went through fifteen hours of labor and you look worse then I do?" JJ asked.

        "Don't be ridiculous. You look beautiful." 

        "Well, I could sure use some coffee. Anyone else? My treat." I watched as the others left the room. I rubbed Spencer's arm and followed them. I already knew what had happened. JJ called me and told me. Spencer would be Henry's godfather. I smiled, tears welling in my eyes. He'd be good at that.

~~~One Week Later~~~

        "Oh be careful with that one!" I called to Morgan. The team was helping me move my stuff into Spencer's apartment. With the gun shot wound, and the whole thing with Spencer's dad, we hadn't had time to get settled.

        "My gosh, how many books do you own?" Morgan asked. I laughed.

        "Why are you surprised?" Hotch asked, lifting another box. 

        "Exactly." I said, laughing.

~~~

        I opened a bottle of Champagne and poured everyone a glass.

        "Thank you all for helping today. Even you Morgan." I said.

        "Oh please, I got all the heavy stuff." We all laughed. 

        "But seriously though, thank you. You saved us all a lot of time."

        "It was no problem. In fact...we all pitched in and got you something." They put a large box on the counter, followed by a smaller box. 

        "Why did you do that? You didn't need to do that." I told them. They looked at me expectantly. 

        "Well go on! Open it!" Emily begged. They pushed the bigger box towards me. I removed the wrapping paper and opened the card board box. I covered my mouth with my hand. Inside sat a blue, "Crosley" record player. 

        "This must have cost you all a fortune! We can't-"

        "No don't even start that, Reid. We bought it, you're taking it." Morgan interrupted me. I ran around, hugging all of them. I opened the other to find several records. "The Beatles" and multiple rag-time. 

        "Guys! How much did you all spend on this?" Spencer asked.

        "It's a present...Like we'd tell you." I laughed.

~~~

        As the night progressed, people slowly left one by one. Eventually, everyone was gone. I put in a rag-time record and we started dancing. 

        "It feels like everything is finally falling into place." I said. "We're moved in...the Reid place."  

        "I got married before Morgan." I laughed.

        "So you did." I kissed him. He wrapped his arms around me and we danced. I yawned, exhausted by the nights events. Spencer picked me up and put me in bed. He laid down next to me, and we gradually fell asleep...
