My submission for the CCOAC Future Fic Challenge!
My chosen character: Jennifer Jareau
My assigned character: Spencer Reid
AN: I know this has been done before, a lot, but my muse ran away with a plot bunny and this is what came of it... that and the fact that my cousin just got married...
Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds. If I did. JJ would not have married He-Who-Must -Not -Be-Mentioned. Capisce?
The day had finally arrived. October 12, 2022. Today was Spencer Reid's wedding day. Surprisingly, he wasn't nervous. Excited, yes, but not nervous. Maybe it was because he had always known he was going to marry her. He was interrupted in his musings as Canon in D started to play. He watched in awe as Emily Prentiss-Morgan and Penelope Garcia-Lynch came down the aisle in their blue bridesmaid dresses, followed by his daughter, six year old Annie and his youngest son, four year old Aiden, the flower girl and ring bearer. Finally, the moment he was waiting for. As his bride, Jennifer Jareau started to make her way down the aisle, with fourteen year old Henry on her arm, his breath caught in his throat. She was breathtaking, as always.
Spencer thought back on the past ten years. From when JJ had married Will in 2012 and how, two years later, he had died in a horrible car crash that almost killed JJ and Henry as well. Henry had been six at the time, and he had spent several weeks in the hospital and even more time with Spencer because JJ had been in a coma. The months after the car crash were the hardest because JJ was depressed and had to endure grueling physical therapy. JJ and Henry had ended up staying at Spencer's house, and they never left.
A year after the accident, Spencer had asked JJ out on a date. Their second date. A year later, Annie, named after JJ's sister, was born. Aiden followed 18 months after that. Spencer had waited to ask JJ to marry him because he knew her heart needed to mend after Will's death. Finally, exactly a year ago on October 12, 2021, he took JJ to a Washington Redskins game and proposed during halftime. She, of course, had said yes.
Back in the present, JJ and Henry had finally made it to the front of the church. Henry placed JJ's hand into Spencer's and said.
"Take care of her, Dad. Just like you always do."
AN: There will be more. I know this is short, but I had a computer issue and lost the second half... so, I'm making it at least a two-shot. Please Review!
