Okay, so I'm writing this without looking back at last season, but I'm basically setting this about three month before last season since the first was a season before that. So it's June 27th 2014. I hope everyone from the last story followed to this one! Sorry it's taken so long! New job, which is amazing but taking up all of my time! Shalom friends!
Cara was sitting in the living room, staring at the blank TV. Isabelle had been crying for half an hour, but her mother told her she should let her cry for a little. But at two months old all Cara wanted to do was hold her baby girl. Spencer was on a case in Montana, and Cara was about ready to snap.
Hamilton jumps up beside her and moans, putting his paws over his ear. "I know. I'm going to go get her. I feel bad, but she's supposed to let it make her fall asleep."
After another really loud scream both Hamilton and Kara jump off the bed and run up to the third floor to where the master suite was. Kara had set up a pack-and-play, against her husband's wishes, but she brought up the fact that he was gone most of the time.
"I know, I know baby." Cara cooes picking up the little baby and walks over over to the rocking chair. "Your grandmother is going to have a cow if she wakes up and sees that I didn't let you fall asleep on your own. But you're only two months old. I have to make sure you know you are very loved. Plus when daddy gets home I don't think he is ever going to let you down. Two weeks is a long time to miss you. You have grown so much." The baby starts cooing back at her. Completely awake at this point.
"There's my happy little girl. Let's go see if daddy can skype all the way from Montana." Cara stands and walks over to Spencer's office which is right behind their bedroom. She sits down in front of the computer and logs in to Skype. Since his desk phone was sitting there, instead of walking back to get her cell phone she picks up the home phone and presses three which was his cell's speed dial.
After a very long ring a very tired "Hello", comes through the phone.
"Oh I'm sorry, did I wake you?"
"No, I'm not even back to the hotel yet."
"Baby, it's past midnight there."
Spencer takes a long deep breath. "I know. But I want to catch a break. It's been two weeks. Another three days and we will be going home without solving the case. I hate that, it makes me feel like I've accomplished nothing and I can't get my mind off of it. I need to solve it so I can sleep."
"That must be really tough Spence. I'm sorry. Is everyone else still there?"
"Yea. But we are still looking for another agent. I think because we are one short since Alex left that is why this is taking so long."
"Hopefully after the summer is past someone will come up."
"Yea, I would hope."
"So, the reason I called is because someone won't fall asleep and is up being a very cute little baby and I wanted to skype with you so you can see her. Brighten your day… or night."
"I would love to see her. Let me get to a quiet, away from everyone still here."
Cara looks over the top of her computer. "How many people are still there?"
"Me, Morgan, Hotch, Rossi, Garcia took J.J back to the hotel. She wasn't feeling well. It's been hard since… you know."
"Yea, I know."
When the skype starts to ring she answers it right away and hangs up the desk phone, "Hi."
"Hi, I really miss you. I don't think I even realized how much until I saw you."
"Please come home."
"Another few days. Hotch says he's probably going to give us a few weekends off after this."
"I will be very happy with a few days with you."
"Me too. Now let me see my baby." She smiles at him and lifts her arms so he could see the baby from where she'd been hidden behind the desk.
"Sorry. I wasn't thinking about the desk covering her."
"God, she looks so much bigger. I can't believe I'm missing so much of her life."
"It's only been two weeks Spence."
"But do you know how much babies grow in the first three months?"
Cara smiles, "No I don't, how much?"
"If my brain wasn't crowded by exhaustion right now I might be able to tell you."
"Oh Spencer. You are not doing anyone any good like this. Go back and go to sleep."
"I don't know if I can. I want to sleep with you."
Cara looks down at the baby to hide her tears. They were saved by Morgan coming up behind them. "Well look at the sleepy baby." Said babies parents look down to see there daughter asleep in her mother's arms.
"I didn't even notice she had fallen asleep." Cara saying, moving the baby to a more comfortable position.
"Neither had I."
Morgan looks back and forth between them. "I think her parents need to go to sleep as well."
"Derek, will you please make him go home and get some sleep. You both need sleep." They both start to object but Cara interferers, "I will call Penelope."
"We're going." Morgan says walking away with one more pat to Reid's back.
"Goodnight my love." Cara says before blowing a kiss to Spencer.
"Goodnight. I love you."

Cara sits on the rocking chair in Isabelle's room. Spencer was coming home tomorrow, and she thought he probably didn't want the baby in their room. However, after two weeks of sleeping with her mommy, the two month old didn't like her room.
Cara stares at the baby's crib with wide brown eyes. She had stopped crying and was now staring at her mother with also wide eyes. "Cara!" The woman in question jumps up, she hadn't heard her fiancé's voice, not over a speaker, in two weeks. She stands and lets the pillow that was on her lap fall to the ground.
"Spencer?" She asks, just as he shows up at the door. She practically launched herself at him, and as soon as she gets her arms around him Isabelle starts wailing. Cara winces and pulls back from him. "Welcome home."
He smiles and gives her a quick kiss before walking over to the crib. The baby stops crying and stares up at him. "Well hello beautiful, do you remember me?" He asks picking her up and cradling her against his chest.
She looks up at him for a while, but her eyelids quickly begin to droop. "I think that's a yes."
"Yes, she remembers that I make her fall asleep."
Cara scoffs, "Oh please, I have a feeling that she is going to be able to recite The Raven by the time she's three."
"Two."
"Children can't read when they are two."
"No, but I could talk very well at two, so I say we are going to shoot for two." Cara shakes her head as she watches Spencer lower the baby back into her crib.
"You're insane, but I love you." She comments, walking over and wrapping her arms around him.
"I love you too." He kisses her and then pulls back. "Now that she's asleep, why don't we go up to bed."
Cara smiles up at him, "I hear that double-entendre Agent Reid." She pulls away from him and walks backwards toward the door. "Walk very quietly." She whispers. Spencer slips off his shoes and lightly follows his fiancée, very happy to be home.
