"I need coffee in a vat.." I moan tiredly. I did not realize how exhausting being a cat mommy is. Aristotle meows all night long if we keep him in his kennel and if we let him sleep with us he literally pounces on us all night long. There has been no reprieve.

"Maybe not a vat...more like just a cup. A well portioned cup. Watching your caffeine intake is crucial..." Spence stops himself from saying more in the elevator.

"Wait why is watching my caffeine intake crucial?" I question completely confused.

"It's just that once the body completely metabolizes caffeine, it can make people feel tired. Too much is going to make you crash and enable your exhaustion, and you've been tired more than usual as of late." He explains.

"I know I've been a little more tired but I'm just stressed.....are you sure that's the only reason?" I watch the way his cheeks turn red in a blush.

"Yes. Definitely." He rushes out, the elevator dings before he bolts towards the bullpen.

Emily and Pen are sitting over on JJ's table laughing about something. The three of them look over to me with smiles when they hear me approaching.

"Something is going on with Spence." I state as they look at one another then over to Spence sitting at his desk moving items around nervously.

"Why do you think that?" Emily questions meeting my gaze.

"He told me I should watch my caffeine intake." I answer looking back over at him. He looked flustered, it was kind of adorable.

"Oh the horror." JJ teases while Emily and Pen chuckle.

"I know you are being sarcastic but it truly is terrifying that my fiance thinks I need to limit my caffeine intake.....I'm starting to spiral in to insecure Sunny who thinks her really hot sexy fiance is second guessing everything. What if he thinks I'm a horrible cat mom. What if he thinks getting Aristotle was a mistake? What if he is reconsidering marrying me? Or having babies with me because I'm the worst cat mom on the planet. Oh my god....he's reconsidering us." I start to get the nervous sweats as I look between the three of them with wide eyes spiraling.

"Ok....you need to sit down. Now." Pen demands as she pushes me into JJ's chair. "You my adorably sweet spiraling friend need a dose of reality." She tells me as Emily and JJ nod their heads in agreement.

"First reality. You could do the most vile things in this world and Spencer Reid would still worship you. That man is so in love with you it makes all of us single people insanely jealous." Emily states with a raised brow.

"Second reality. You are the most attentive, loving, and protective cat mom. You were helicopter parenting the poor lad when I came over to meet him. I can't even begin to imagine what you will be like as a mom to a human because that sweet angel will be the luckiest kid on this planet." Pen tells me, the emotions already stirring inside of me.
