The first two years were good. You were happy, he was happy, and you worked. No matter what, he never missed a big event, never forgot an anniversary or a birthday.

But, two and a half years in, it started.

First, he missed your birthday. It wasn't too big of a deal since he was away on a particularly bad case. When he got home, he apologized profusely and made it up to you in more ways than one. You let it go because it was his job.

And then he missed your three year anniversary.

"(Y/N), please, say something," Spencer pleads. You scowl at him, keeping silent. "It was a case I couldn't skip. I wish I could have, I—"

"You forgot. Just admit it, Spencer." He finches at the use of his full name.

"I'm sorry," he whispers. You close your eyes, trying to keep the tears at bay.

"I wish I could say it's okay, but it's not. I'm trying here, Spence. I'm trying so hard to give you another pass, but it's becoming difficult." Spencer takes your hands in his and kisses them.

"I'll never miss anything again, okay? I promise."

"Don't make promises you can't keep, Spencer Reid." He grins.

"Never."

You got married a year later. It was a beautiful wedding. The team was there, all their smiling faces making your life feel whole.

"Lucky you didn't miss this," you joke. Spencer chuckles and wraps an arm around your waist, kissing your temple.

"I told you I wouldn't." You kiss him gently, relishing the rare moment of downtime. Suddenly, Hotch walks over, looking apologetic.

"We have a case." The smile fades from your face, and you look up at Spencer, half hoping he'll say he can't go, that he has to spend time with his new wife on their wedding day.

Instead, he looks down at you, wincing.

"I'm sorry, (Y/N). I have to—"

"Go. Yeah. I know. Be safe." You remove yourself from his arms and walk back into your house, changing out of your reception outfit and falling asleep on your wedding night— alone.

Six months later, you found out you were pregnant.

"Can you believe it? We're going to be parents!" you exclaim, kissing Spencer hard on the mouth. His smile is the widest you've ever seen it as he kisses your stomach lovingly.
