Hey guys! This is a little story me and my cousin AmyT74 thought up together. Maeve is the daughter of Morgan/OC. Hope you enjoy!

All mistakes are mine and I don't own CM.

Her Namesake

It was bedtime at the Morgan household, and Reid was babysitting 5 year old Maeve while her Mom and Dad had a date.

Maeve wasn't sure what a date was, but it meant that Uncle Spencer came over, so she was fine with that.

"Are you ready to go to bed, Maeve?" Reid asked, walking into her bedroom.

Maeve nodded. "Uh-huh. I brushed my teeth, I got my jammies on, and I went potty… oh, and I washed my hands like Mommy taught me!"

"That's great, Maeve, but I think you're missing something…" Reid said.

Maeve stared at him in confusion until it dawned on her.

"A story!" she yelled, excited.

"That's right" Reid exclaimed, pretending he forgot.

Maeve quickly climbed into bed and pulled the covers up to her chin.

Reid sat down next to her.

"Hmm…what story shall I tell you…Aha! I've got it. Has your mommy or daddy ever told you where your name comes from?" he asked.

Maeve shook her head. "Nuh-uh."

"Well…there once was a Prince and Princess. They didn't know each other but they soon would meet. You see, the Prince was sick. No one could figure out what was wrong with him. He sent for the best healers in the land, but no one could help him. One day, he got a letter from a Princess named Maeve…"

"That's my name!" Maeve interrupted.

Reid nodded, smiling. "It sure is. And this Princess Maeve, she had heard that the Prince was sick and she wanted to help him. There was one problem, though. A bad man had locked her in a tower and she couldn't get out."

"Oh no!" Maeve exclaimed.

Reid tried hard to keep from smiling at her reaction and continued with the story.

"The Princess had decided to write a letter to the Prince to see what she could do to help him. He told her his symptoms and she was able to tell him what was wrong with him, so he was able to get better. Once he felt better, the Prince decided he wanted to help the Princess because she had helped him."

"The Prince was able to find the bad man and put him in jail and Princess Maeve was finally able to be free from the tower…and she and the Prince lived happily ever after."

"What was the Prince's name?" Maeve asked.

Reid hesitated for a minute. "Spencer."

Maeve was quiet for a minute. "Did you love her?" she whispered.

Reid swallowed and nodded. "Very much so."

Maeve considered him for a minute. "What really happened to her?" she asked.

Reid looked away with tears in his eyes.

"A bad person killed her" he said quietly, still looking away.

He was startled when Maeve launched herself at him, wrapping her arms around him.

Maeve turned his face towards her with her little hands. "I'm sorry."

That stopped Reid. "Hey, you have nothing to be sorry for. Even though I lost one Maeve, I gained another one. And I love her soooo much" Reid said, tapping her on the nose.

"I love you too Uncle Spence."
