One month later
Reid carried the last box into Morgan's house, he felt sad as he carried the last of Garcia's belongings into Morgan's house. Today was the day that Garcia, Morgan and Daisy were moving away from the apartment and into a new home. He stepped through the door and placed the box on the dining room table. He looked around the house and knew that Garcia, Morgan and Daisy would be happy, the house felt comforting, it was a house that was meant for a family. He walked around the room and smiled at the photos that Garcia had already put up, the smile grew bigger as he noticed she had placed the picture of him holding Daisy in his arms. A small bang behind him caused him to jump, he whipped round to see Garcia standing at the entrance to the kitchen.
"I'm sorry I scared you," Garcia apologised before she brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. She walked over to the box that he had brought in and smiled as she began to unwrap some of the contents, she paused when she found a small teddy bear with a bow around his neck. "This isn't mine."
"No, Lily put it in there for Daisy," Reid said as he stepped forward.
"How is married life?" Garcia smiled as she placed the teddy bear on the table.
"It's great, she has settled into the apartment completely, we just have to unpack all of her stuff. My mum likes her, you have no idea how relieved I was about that," Reid laughed gently. "My dad on the other hand doesn't agree with our quick marriage."
"Do you really care what your father thinks?"
"I don't but Lily does. She doesn't like the fact that I don't get on with my father but she understand my feelings towards him. She is my wife and if he can't accept that, he has no place in my life."
"Reid, family doesn't end with blood. Family are the people that you love the most and the people that will always care for you," Garcia said. "You are part of a family, a wonderful family that will do anything in the world to protect you and love you."
"I know I do," Reid grinned. He knew at that moment that he was going to miss Garcia living with him, he was going to miss them so much. He knew that this day had to come though, the day when they went in different directions.
"I'm going to miss you, Garcia," Reid smiled sadly. "I liked having you at the apartment, I'm going to miss you all."
Garcia walked over to Reid and brought him into a small hug. "I'm going to miss you too. We will still see each other at work and Lily and you are always welcome here, I want my daughter to be around her genius uncle as much as she can."
"You are welcome at the apartment all the time, it's going to be quiet without you, Morgan and Daisy."
"I don't think it will be quiet for long. I have lived with you since you met Lily, you two are like..well rabbits," Garcia giggled.
"Garcia!" Reid gasped before blushing with embarressment. "I don't think we are ready for the quiet to end."
"Reid, I want to ask you something. Why did you marry Lily so quickly?" Garcia asked.
"Why do you ask?"
"I've known you for a very long time, I've never known you to be very impulsive. You have always thought things through, the only times I have seen you impulsive is when something is close to your heart."
"Lily is close to my heart and I don't want to lose her. I know we haven't known each other as long as you have known Morgan but I know deep down that I want her in my life. I married her because after everything I have been through, I have learned an important lesson. Life is too short. Lily is afraid that her past will scare me away but it doesn't and it never will. I married her because I love her and want to spend my life with her."
"I love seeing you so happy," Garcia said gleefully. "You deserve to be happy.
"Things aren't going to be the same with you and Morgan not living with us," Reid sighed.
"It won't be the same but we will still make sure to have you over for dinner every week. Deal?"
"Deal," Reid smiled.
Later that day
Reid opened the door to his apartment, he instantly smelled the aroma of cooking. He closed the door and quickly walked into the kitchen to see Lily running her hand under the cold tap, he saw her wince in pain.
"Lily, sweetheart. What happened?" Reid asked as he quickly went to her side, he put his hand carefully under her hand and felt discomfort when he saw the large angry red mark on her hand.
"Spencer, I'm fine. I just had a little accident and burned my hand," Lily shrugged gently as she tried to hide the pain. Reid wasn't fooled so easily. He brought her hand away from the cold tap.
"I'll get the first aid box," Reid said before rushing to the bathroom and grabbing the first aid box, he walked back into the kitchen and applied burn cream to her hand before wrapping it in plastic wrap. He carefully wrapped a bandage around her hand and over the plastic.
"My Doctor," Lily said, her eyes soft with love.
"My wonderful wife," Reid grinned back. Soft lips quickly found his own and kissed him. A knock at the door interrupted them. Both let out a small laugh. Reid quickly made his way to door and opened it. He was surprised to see Rossi and Hotch standing at the door.
"Hello Reid, may we come in?" Rossi greeted.
"Sure, come in," Reid said before opening the door. Hotch and Rossi walked in, Rossi with an envelope in his hand.
"Hello," Lily said cheerfully as she entered the room, her hand was instantly noticed by Rossi and Hotch.
"What happened to your hand?" Hotch asked.
"I had little accident in the kitchen," Lily explained before giving each of them a small smile.
"What are you doing here?" Reid asked politely.
Rossi and Hotch exchanged a look before Rossi turned to them and smiled. "We are here because we want to give you a gift."
Rossi held up the envelope and handed to a confused Reid. Reid quickly opened the envelope and took out two tickets.
"A married couple deserve a honeymoon, these tickets are for you two to go to Barbados, the plane leaves in two days. You will be flying first class and staying a private villa for two weeks, I've also included a little something for you to spend when you are there," Rossi smiled happily.
Reid and Lily both stood in awe at what Rossi had given them. "Rossi, we-," Reid began to say but Rossi cut him off.
"You can and will accept this, you both deserve some time to relax. Hotch has already arranged for you to have the time off and we called Lily's hospital and explained everything. Everything has been arranged."
"Thank you so much Rossi!" Reid thanked profusely.
"Thank you so much!" Lily cried happily before leaping forward and pulling Rossi into a large hug.
"You're welcome," Rossi laughed gently. "I hope you two have fun."
