Unspoken Legacy

Unspoken Legacy 7

Lily, holding both Derek and Penelope's hands, skips along with them as they make their way through the BAU, ready to start their Halloween candy hunt. Her Belle dress sways with every step she takes, and her face is lit up with pure excitement. Derek, looking every bit the dashing prince in his royal attire, gives her a reassuring smile, while Penelope, in her bright and fun costume, can't help but laugh at how adorable the scene is.

"This is going to be so much fun, Lily!" Penelope exclaims, giving her hand a little squeeze as they walk.

Lily beams up at Penelope, her eyes wide with joy. "I know! We're going to get so much candy!" She bounces in place, eagerly pulling them along, her tiny feet barely keeping up with the adults' longer strides.

Derek looks down at Lily with a smile, his gentle eyes softening as he watches her excitement. "I think we're going to need a pretty big bag to carry all that candy," he says, teasing her lightly.

Lily giggles and nods, "I'll share! I can't eat it all!" She seems perfectly content just to be out on an adventure with the adults she's grown so fond of.

As they make their way down the halls of the BAU, the team is in full Halloween mode, with everyone greeting Lily with smiles and laughter. Some of them even offer her small bags of candy as they pass, and Lily's eyes light up each time.

"Trick or treat!" she calls out with a grin, holding her little pumpkin basket out eagerly. Penelope chuckles at the sight, matching her energy as she holds her own bag to collect candy, while Derek keeps an eye on the little girl, making sure she doesn't get too carried away.

As they reach the next office, Lily looks up at Derek and Penelope. "Can we stop at Uncle Spencer's office next? I bet he has good candy!" she asks, her excitement building.

Derek laughs, ruffling her hair. "Of course we can, kiddo. But only if you promise to share with me!"

Penelope nods enthusiastically. "You better save some for us, Lily, or we'll have to steal it from you!" she says, playfully winking.

Lily's eyes grow wide with mock concern. "I'll share, I promise!" She squeezes both their hands tighter, ready for the next stop on her Halloween adventure.

The team continues to walk from office to office, the building alive with Halloween spirit, as Lily leads the way, holding her two favorite people's hands. The laughter, fun, and love filling the air make this Halloween one to remember for everyone, especially for Lily, who is finally surrounded by the family she always deserved. Lily, still holding Derek and Penelope's hands, eagerly leads the way toward Spencer's office, her eyes bright with excitement. She skips ahead of them, her yellow Belle dress flowing behind her as she reaches Spencer's door.

Spencer, in his Beast costume, is sitting at his desk when he hears a knock. Looking up, he can't help but smile at the sight of Lily and her two companions standing in the doorway.

"Trick or treat!" Lily announces, holding out her little pumpkin basket with a big grin on her face. "Do you have candy, Uncle Spencer?"

Spencer chuckles softly at her enthusiasm. "I sure do," he says, standing up from his desk and walking over to her with a candy bowl. "I've got all kinds of treats for my favorite Belle."

He gently places some candy in her basket, his smile warm and genuine. "Looking amazing in your costume, Lily," he adds, admiring her dress.

Lily looks up at him with a wide grin, her excitement palpable. "Thank you, Uncle Spencer! You're the Beast, right? But... you're not scary like the Beast in the movie."

Spencer laughs, scratching the back of his head awkwardly. "Well, I'm hoping I'm not scary, at least," he says, playing along. "But I'll definitely dance with you if you want, Belle."
