FREAKING OUT ² ➢ spencer reid

LIII

After we finished getting ready Reid and I wandered out to the lobby, noticing that the team hadn't left yet. Excitedly, I took the opportunity to move towards Prentiss who was casually talking to JJ. I walked over to their side's and rested my head on Prentiss's shoulder, earning myself an awkward chuckle as she stopped herself mid sentence and patted my cheek.

From behind, Reid laughed as well, taking a space next to JJ. The two of them glanced at each other before turning their attention back to Prentiss and I who were now basically cuddling.

"I'm gonna miss you," I mumbled sadly, wrapping my arms around her waist. I figured at this point I wouldn't get to see her for a while, which was definitely a bummer. With her status at work and my newfound life as a future mom it'd probably be hard to keep in contact.

"You too," she retorted with a sigh. I could tell she was equally unhappy with the idea. Ever since leaving we hadn't been talking much, which I figured was probably my fault since I really sucked at updating.

From the corner of my eye I saw Morgan throwing a set of luggage into the back of the SUV. He narrowed his eyes as he pushed them inside, taking a second to examine his work before turning towards us and yelling, "ready to go?"

The four of us looked over and nodded. Even though Reid and I wouldn't be joining we followed them over, moving our position to the side of the vehicle, which was unfortunately already ready to go.

I glanced towards JJ and let out a sigh, realizing how much I already missed them. Thanks to intensity of the last few days I hadn't really gotten much of an opportunity to talk to her. Or anyone for that matter. With everything happening it was hard to just breathe sometimes, so honestly talking was out of the question.

"Can we do another night at Rossi's when we're back?" I questioned, flashing them a smile.

The window of the passenger side rolled down, revealing Rossi himself. He smiled and nodded his head, shooting me a quick thumbs up before glancing at Hotch who started the vehicle.

"I promise we won't ditch you this time," JJ responded, placing her hand on my shoulder.

I widened my smile and nodded my head, feeling her tighten her grip before eventually pulling away and glancing at Morgan. They shared a quick look before the two of them left, leaving Prentiss behind.

"I better get a wedding invite," she stated jokingly. She reached out to punch my shoulder, but before she made contact I shuffled away and flashed her a smirk. She rolled her eyes and settled for punching Reid, who released a light sigh and just let it happen.

"I don't know, man. We're very busy people," I replied with a laugh, reaching out to console him. He flashed me a pout and rubbed his arm, offering Prentiss a saddened expression.

"I'm literally the head of Interpol, Isla," she retorted with a scoff.

While I was fully aware of how crazy her schedule was, I jokingly denied it, earning myself another arm punch. This time I let it happen, watching as her fist lightly collided with my arm. I pretended to wince in pain and reach for the injury, shutting my eyes as I wined. She rolled her eyes and took a step back, reaching for the vehicle.

We said our goodbyes and even though I could sense her annoyance I pulled her in for another hug, gripping her tightly. She groaned at my strength and reached towards Reid, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Take care, will you?" She questioned, flashing him a wide grin.

He nodded his head and returned the small gesture, grabbing her wrist with a smile. The two of them shared a quick look I couldn't quite place, before Prentiss opened the door and shuffled inside, leaving us both. As she piled on in, I smiled her way, watching as she threw on her seatbelt and let out a sigh.
