Three

Spencers POV

I saw hotch's jaw drop and I was suddenly worried about what i had just said.

"You want to do what?" hotch asked, still shocked at my statement.

"I would like to take Samantha in. She's a really sweet girl and i think she deserves a good life. I've always wanted kids, but that never happened so maybe this is my chance!" i said, very excited.

Hotch nodded his head and bit his lip.

"Well," hotch started, "if this is what you'd like to do, i stand behind you completely" he gave me a thin lipped smile and hugged me over the desk.

"Thank you sir, I'm going to tell the others what I'm wanting to do to see what they think," I said as I walked out of the room. I walked down to the bullpen and checked to see that Garcia's door was closed.

"Everyone, I have an announcement," I said, and that got everyone's attention. I took a deep breath before spitting out the words. "I want to take samantha in and raise her!"

Samantha's POV

Garcia's office wasn't very homey. It was full of computers and laptops and everything you would find in a hackers basement. The chair she had me sit in was very comfortable though. It was a recliner so I sat back and just stared at the ceiling. I started to shiver and Penelope quickly grabbed me a blanket. A few moments later, I was fast asleep.

Spencers POV

As soon as i said it, the whole room went silent. Everyone's jaws dropped and i didnt think this is how they would have reacted. I stood in front of them all, now feeling anxious. I knew my team loved me, but I didn't know if they all would support me through this. After all, I was a 32 year old taking in a 13 year old girl whose dad happened to be a serial killer. They probably thought I was insane.

JJ's POV

Spencer is my best friend. I love him and I have always supported him. I knew that I would support him through this, but I was just so shocked at the moment. After Spencer looked like he was about to cry, I felt a smile creeping onto my face, reaching my eyes.

I ran out of my chair and went to hug him. I felt his body melt into mine and I knew that he was anxious, but now he was relieved. We pulled away from our hug and he kissed me on the cheek, making me blush.

"So what do you think?" Spence said, looking me in the eyes.

"I think that you are an amazing man for doing this" I said as I turned to the team. They were all smiling and came to hug spencer.

After everyone had hugged, someone asked if he was going to tell her now or later. I offered to finish his paperwork for him and he thanked me. He walked down the hall to garcias office and I felt my eyes starting to water.

Spencers POV

I walked down to garcias office and felt so relieved that everyone supported me. I slowly opened the door and Garcia turned to me.

"She fell asleep 15 minutes ago, congrats by the way! She will be so happy. She really likes you, ''Garcia said. I smiled and gave her a hug. As soon as we finished, Samantha started to wake up. Penelope left the room so that it was just the 2 of us.

She rubbed her eyes and looked up at me. "Spencer!" she yelled, seeming really happy to see me. I smiled and sat in garcias other chair.

"I have something to ask you," I said, she nodded so I continued talking. "You are a super nice girl and you remind me of a younger, female version of myself. I was wondering if maybe you would be interested in coming and living with me?"

His eyes widened and I could see the tears building up at the tear ducts. She sprang into my arm from the chair and yelled "yes!" while doing so. She wrapped her arms around me and I did the same. I was so extremely happy that she wanted to come live with me.

I could feel a damp spot on my shirt and Samantha stood up.

"I'm sorry," she said. I looked down to see a wet spot on my shirt. She was crying, but she was still smiling.

"Don't worry about it" I said as I stood up, "shall we go home?"

She looked at me like she was a puppy and I had just given her a bone. She nodded excitedly and grabbed her bag. We both walked out, saying goodbye to everyone on our way.

Once we got outside, I grabbed her bag and threw it in the trunk of my car. She got in the front seat and waited for me to get in. When I got there, she was already buckled and ready to go. I quickly got myself ready and drove off.

"We're going home" I heard Samantha whisper to herself and it made me smile even more.
