Elijah was lying on the couch with Horatio. He'd been awake all night but didn't want to disturb Reid. Horatio purred, gently pawing Elijah's arm.

"You're a good boy, aren't you?" Elijah hummed as he stroked Horatio.

Horatio loudly meowed, curling up beside him. Elijah kissed Horatio's head, he loved his baby.

"Morning." Reid yawned as he walked downstairs.

"Good morning, darling. Sleep well?" Elijah looked over at him.

"Yeah, must've needed it." Reid hummed,"Did you?"

"Of course." Elijah nodded.

"Elijah."

"What?"

"Truth."

"I've.. Been down here with Horatio since probably.. Around one?" Elijah admitted.

Reid sighed,"You should've woken me up."

"I didn't want to." Elijah sighed,"You needed sleep and I didn't want to disturb you."

"You need sleep too."

"I'm fine."

Reid sighed and sat down beside his fiancé, hugging him.

Elijah curled up in Reid's arms,".. I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"Now I've made you worried about me."

"I'm always worried about you." Reid chuckled.

"You shouldn't be." Elijah sighed.

"I have every right to be. You're going to be my husband."

Elijah looked down, holding onto Reid tightly.

"And I can't wait for the day." Reid smiled.

"Still, I shouldn't make you worry like this. It's not fair on you."

"It's all apart of life." He hummed.

Elijah looked up at Reid, gently kissing his cheek. Horatio leaned up, nudging the boys.

"Yes, I love you too Horatio." Reid nodded.

"He stayed with me all night." Elijah sighed softly.

"He's a good kitty."

"I love him."

"He loves you too."

Elijah smiled softly, closing his eyes.

"Do you think we'll ever get married?" Fleur asked Derek while she got ready.

"Of course we will." Morgan hummed.

"When?"

"Well, I don't know.. Someday."

"We can work up to it." Fleur chuckled.

"Of course we can." Morgan smiled, wrapping his arms around her.

"One day soon, right?" Fleur looked up at him.

"Definitely." Morgan kissed her cheek.

Fleur smiled,"Pass me my shirt, would you?"

Morgan reached behind him and grabbed it,"This one?"

"What would be better, pink or green?" Fleur wondered.

"I think you look good in both.. But I think green."

"Green it is." Fleur hummed.

"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" Morgan asked.
