The team was assembled in the BAU conference room, while Reid and I were waiting for Strauss. It was four months since I proposed to Spencer and we hadn't told the team or Strauss. We planned on telling the team at a weekly dinner at Rossi's house, but I chickened out and persuaded my fiancé not to tell them. Everything was all of a sudden for them and they still seemed shocked that we were dating. Rossi knew that I proposed because I sorta asked him if I could marry Reid. Yes I know that you usually ask the father of the "bride" but William Reid wasn't in his son's life so I figured Spencer saw Rossi as a grandfather figure. I thought it fit well. Of course JJ knew because I had to tell her when I asked her to watch Jack, but I never told her the answer that Spencer gave me, I told her it would a surprise for the rest of the team. Strauss finally arrived and we stood to greet her.
"Chief Strauss" I said confidently. I knew Spencer would be unable to talk because he gets nervous around our supervisor, which is odd considering he can be confident around the creepiest of Unsubs but the second you put him in front of a supervisor he clams up and just awkwardly looks around and tries to talk. Strauss knew something was up because I never ask for a meeting with her. The unit supervisor sat behind her desk and nodded, indicating that I could start talking.
"I don't really know how to tell you and yes I know about the rules regarding fraternizing within the same unit." Strauss gave me a really weird look. I saw Spencer wringing the hem of his shirt in his hands through my peripheral vision. "Dr. Reid and myself have been in a relationship for a year and a half." Almost all my cards were out on the table. I still needed to tell Strauss that Spencer and I were going to get married. She stared at me and then she looked at Spencer. The room was silent for a good five minutes until Spencer spoke.
"Ma'am, I mean no disrespect to you or the department, but Agent Hotchner and myself have been keeping work completely professional and our relationship hasn't affect our work since it began." I was surprised that Spence said something, but I was grateful. It was good that he said something. We sat in quiet for a couple of minutes and then Strauss did something she never did. She smiled and laughed a little. I glanced at my fiancé who shrugged.
"Ma'am?" I carefully questioned.
"Agent Hotchner," she looked at me, "Dr. Reid" she looked at my genius, "I may not know you both very well, but I know what love looks like. You two aren't as subtle as you think but you do a very good job at hiding this." She said as she waved her hands towards us. "I will allow for this to continue but if I get any suspicion of conflict because of it, one of two things will happen. One, Dr. Reid will be moved to a new unit or two, both of you will be fired. Is there anything else that you need to tell me?" She was looking at Spencer.
"Ma'am... um... well wearegoingtogetmarried." Spencer sputtered out. Strauss nodded slightly.
"Fine, the rules still apply from before, new unit or fired if anything is complicated because of this relationship. I have to go because I have other meetings that I have to attend to today." We stood up to leave. "And agents, if I were you, I would tell your team mates before they start a bet again." With that said Strauss left her own office and Spencer and I left to get our go-bags and head to the plane.
