A/N This is a little OOC by means of dialouge, but other than that I think it's ok...I wrote this a couple years ago, but just started a rewrite... I hope you enjoy it!
I own nothing
She walked into the bullpen, pressed her hands into the wood of his desk and leaned in for a quick kiss with her fiance.
"Hey babe, you sticking around for awhile?" Spencer asked.
"Yeah, I just got off work. I was planning to stay until you finish your paperwork, if you'll let me." Delani said as she batted her eye lashes. Spencer smiled at her. She usually came by in the evenings when she knew they were having downtime at the BAU. As long as Reid got his work done, Hotch didn't mind.
"Go on, Emily is gone for the night, you can have her desk," he said as he motioned towards the desk across from his. Delani skipped in the direction he pointed.
"Lucky bastard," Derek Morgan jested.
"She's great isn't she?" Spencer beamed. Morgan gave him a look of agreement. Spencer had one file left to finish and he hadn t seen his fiance in awhile. He looked up from his work and peer at Emily's desk. He couldn't see her from where he was sitting. He approached the desk. A smile crept across his face as he found her balled up in the rolling chair, fast asleep.
"She's out cold," Morgan commented from over Spencer's left shoulder.
"Yeah, she worked all day," Spencer whispered.
"Ya know what, you only have one file left, I m pretty sure I've got this covered. Why don't you take her home? Morgan offered.
"Thanks, I really appreciate that," Spencer replied as he scooped Delani out of the chair. Although he may look scrawny, he was actually very strong. He placed her sleeping body in the front seat of his black SUV and went to move her Focus from the visitor spot to the parking garage. Once at the apartment, he removed her shoes and socks and slid her small form under the covers. He then readied himself for bed and joined her.
Delani woke up to find herself snuggled into Spencer s chest, his right arm draped across her stomach. She peered at the clock on the nightstand, 4:38 am.
"I must have fallen asleep at the office," she thought to herself. Delani pulled her attention back to the arm covering her body. She ran her fingers across the soft skin and fine hair on his forearm. Her light touches on his arm, brought Spencer to consciousness.
"Lani, sweetie, go back to sleep, it's too early to be up," he whispered gently. As his sentence finished, the phone echoed painfully through the apartment.
"I guess not," Delani giggled. She moved to get the phone.
"No, I ll get it, you stay here," Spencer countered, one arm hindering her movement.
"I think it's on the counter," Delani called after her fiance as he stumbled in the dark. Spencer nodded and subconsciously rubbed his back.
Spencer returned and found Delani fast asleep. He shook her vigorously. She awoke with a start and was met with an expression that would have led anyone to believe Spencer had seen a ghost in the kitchen.
"Spencer, honey, what's wrong? Who was on the phone?" Delani needed answers; he was fine when he left her moments before.
"That was Molly, uh Molly, ah, what the hell does it matter what her last name is, uh she said Cole collapsed when he got into work this morning and the doctors say he has a substantial brain hemorrhage and doesn't have much time. I have to fly to Las Vegas, immediately," he disclosed.
"Oh Spence, Delani gasped as she took his hands in hers.
"I have to go Delani, we need to go get your car and then I need to get plane tickets and a hotel room and call my work and..." Delani interrupted his rant with a kiss. His expression went from scared to shocked and dripped into frustration.
"Spencer, I know, but you need to calm down, things are going to get crazy if you rush. Why don't you shower and get packed and I'll book your reservations," she said softly. Spencer nodded and stared at her for a moment. His heart ached as he saw the hurt in her eyes. It was an unexplainable hurt, he was at a loss as to what caused it, but he still didn't like its presence. Spencer so badly wanted to comfort his fiance but Cole needed him now more than ever.
