Chapter 1
Rays of sunlight lighted up the room waking the young genius up.
"This is different" Reid softly chuckled to himself as he was amazed that he was up before Morgan. Last night was incredible. He wished he could turn-back time and experience it all over again. Both he and Morgan had decided to take a break from their weekly date-out and have a candle light dinner at home.
It was the perfect night.
Morgan had surprised his husband with his culinary skill. Reid never knew how talented his husband was in preparing a classy dinner. After the meal Morgan took Reid in his arms as they danced to Elvis Presley's "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You". It was the most peaceful moment and Reid had never felt so protected before as he rested his head on Morgan's shoulder throughout the dance.
The sound of Morgan rolling his body to face Reid stopped the memory of yesterday that was playing in Reid's mind.
"Morning" Reid said.
"Spence? What time is it?' Morgan asked with a sleepy voice as he buried his head into one of the pillows.
Reid gave no reply. He was just grinning as he admired his husband's sleepy face.
"Wake up Der. We gotta pick up Emmi at JJ's"
Derek groaned, "A little while more. Why are you up so early?"
"Why are you up so late?" Reid teased.
Upon hearing Reid's reply Morgan shot up from his sleep and grabbed the alarm clock on his nightstand. It was noon.
"Wow, we slept through all morning? Yesterday must have been so ..."
"Amazing" Reid completed.
As soon as Reid planted a kiss on Morgan's cheek he got up and head to the bathroom. Morgan attempted to grab Reid's hand and pull him back to bed but missed due to his slow reaction.
Reid called out from the bathroom "I don't know about you but I am so not ready to face Emmi's grumpy face when we are late picking her up."
Morgan couldn't agree more. He quickly got up and joined Reid in the bathroom.
Before heading out Morgan called JJ to inform her that they are on their way to pick up their daughter. JJ had warned them that although Emmi didn't chow it, she was 'not in the mood' today. JJ attributed in to the fact that her daddies were late but couldn't be sure. Morgan sighed listening to JJ as guilt started to consume him. Afterwards Morgan told Reid that he will be waiting for him in the car.
As soon as Reid stepped out of the house Morgan could see a little bit of unhappiness on Reid's face. He knew exactly why and was prepared for it.
"You alright?" Morgan asked.
Reid was not in the mood for anything and so he simply nod his head, gave a smile and replied "Yeah".
"Will this make you better than a 'yeah'?" Morgan reached out to the backseat grabbing Reid's coffee tumbler and passing it to him. Instantaneously Reid's face lit up as he smiled widely thanking his husband and slowly enjoying his coffee. Morgan could feel his heart skipped a beat upon seeing the excitement on Reid's face. He felt like the luckiest man on earth.
"Ready to go?" Morgan asked.
"Absolutely"
They then head out to pick up their daughter. While Morgan was concentrating on his driving, his lover spoke.
"I love you Derek"
'I love you too Spencer. Always and forever"
