Never Say Goodbye

Spencer Reid's eyes looked over at the woman he loved with all his heart. He was holding her hand to say goodbye. It happened so fast. They didn't really know that today would be their last hour together. He knew in his head exactly how many hours they had spent together.

She had understood him more than anyone in this world. It all began because of his headaches. She was his salvation. She brought him back from the end of despair. He had been worried that he inherited schizophrenia from his mother. He was thirty and he thought his life was over. He didn't know that he would find a new life line in Maeve. Now she was gone from his life.

His silent tears flowed down his face as he remember another day in January many years ago when he almost lost her to the stalker who had sent Maeve into hiding. They fell in love without ever meeting first. Needless to say their courtship was unusual. After that fateful day they knew life had given them a second chance. The bullet that was meant to kill her only grazed the back of her head and knocked her unconscious. It was Dave Rossi that realized that she was still alive. They rushed her to hospital, Spencer refusing to leave her side. When she finally regained consciousness, he declared his love to her. They married within six months.

Ironically it was headaches that take her away now. Maeve had been complaining of headaches and just like Spencer's case the Doctors said nothing was wrong, however there was something they missed a hidden aneurysm. One minute they were talking about their daughter acceptance in MIT and then she was gone.

They had twenty five years together. She was his equal in every way. She was there for him when his mother died. They raised a strong minded daughter, the spitting image of Maeve. He knows he has to go call his daughter now and tell her about her mother. He lets go of her hand but doesn't say goodbye. Spencer leans down and kisses her lips. "I will see you in my dreams, my Love. Memories of their life together will forever live in his mind and carry him though the rest of his years.
