Reid's Girl // Spencer Reid Fanfic

Chapter Two

~Carmen's POV~

The days since Spencer had asked me out flew by and suddenly it was Saturday.

"Thanks again for babysitting Jack." Hotch says and I look up from my desk.

"Really, it was no problem." I reply, but glance at Reid in the desk to my left. He looks up from his book and smiles at me. 'You sure it's okay?' I mouth and he nods. I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you excited for tonight?" Spencer asks as he walks up to my desk, leaning his hands on it.

"Of course. I love kids." I say and when I look up from the reminder I'm writing to myself I see a twinkle in his eyes. "How old is Jack?" I ask as the thought occurs to me.

"He's six weeks old." Spencer replies and I smile.

"That's so cute, I have a nephew who's just beginning to crawl. Sometimes I wish he would go back to not escaping out of my sight." I say with a wink. Reid chuckles.

"Well you only have two hours and nineteen minutes left until we can leave work, so I guess you'll just have to wait." He says and waggles his eyebrows mischievously.

I put my phone in my bag and stand up to meet spencer at the coffee maker in the break room, but for some reason my stomach is wound into tight knots. I'm really nervous and kind of feel guilty about babysitting for my boss instead of going on a date with Spencer. But then a more powerful thought strikes me: what if I have feelings for Spencer?

I push the thought to the back of my head and stride over to the break room where I find Spencer drinking what's probably his 6th cup today.

"Hey Brooks." He says and grabs his satchel. "You ready to go?"

"Yep. Oh! Is it okay if we stop by my apartment to grab some clothes?" I ask and he rolls his eyes at me playfully.

"Of course."

~•~•~•~•~

"I can't believe you took ten minutes to get ready." Spencer says.

"I can't believe you let me take so long without saying anything." I say dramatically.

"Well you look good." He comments and I laugh.

"Really?! I'm in sweats and a hoodie. How do I look good?" I ask and he just smiles.

"I don't know. I've never seen you dress down before... It suits you."

"Thanks...?" We arrive at Hotch's house and get out of the car. Haley opens the door and greets us, waving us over to where Hotch sits with Jack in his arms.

"Hey Reid." He says and stands up, gently laying Jack in Spencer's arms. Jack looks up and coos at him. I can't help but smile.

"Okay. Standard protocol." Hotch says and I almost laugh at him, but at the last moment bite my lip. "We will be home by midnight or one. There's a bottle in the fridge if he gets hungry before bed. Umm... Emergency contacts are on the fridge. I think that's it... Questions?"

"Who should I call first if Reid disobeys?" I ask and Hotch smiles. Actually smiles. (Well, halfway...)

"Haley." He says and with that is out the door, locking it behind him.

Spencer and I turn on a romantic comedy and sit on the couch, him rocking Jack slightly back and forth.

"Do you want anything to eat?" Spencer asks and right on cue my stomach rumbles loudly. Up until now I hadn't realized I was hungry.
