With a Girl Like You

Chapter 1: Baby, It's Cold Outside

A/N: Ok, so I wrote this a while ago before Christmas and…I kinda liked it. I just didn't finish it.. :] So, now that I've gotten a first chapter down I'm kinda happy. Hope you like it!

It was Christmas Eve. 'Another holiday alone.' Spencer Reid thought to himself as he downed another drink at the moderately crowded bar he sat at. The flight that was going to take him from Quantico to his mother and father was cancelled because of the storm, and this was the fourth Christmas that something had happened to keep them apart. He couldn't go to the team, his family, either. Morgan and Garcia were at Morgan's mother's house, Hotch and Emily had Jack, JJ was with her family and Rossi…well….he knew a lot of things but even he couldn't even fathom as to where Rossi was and anyway…. After he found out the flight was cancelled he had gotten into his car and driven to the first car he had seen and now here he was alone…with a scotch on the rocks.

The bell above the door rang, indicating the arrival of a new patron. He looked over to see a young, short woman in a big coat walk through the door her nose red and glasses fogged from the cold outside, her long brown hair in curls. She took off her coat and he saw that she was a very well-rounded woman. She was wearing a black button up shirt and a dark green plaid skirt that reminded him of Garcia. He watched as she shivered once and ordered her drink, seeming to know the bartender for she smiled brightly at him, lighting up the room. She sat down at the opposite end of the bar, stealing glances at him. He did the same and for a few minutes they did this until she rolled her eyes, got up, and started towards him.

"Hi, I'm Emma." She said and took a seat beside him.

"I'm Spencer….Reid."

"So what brings you to our humble little bar on Christmas Spencer….Reid?" She said, with slight laughter in her voice.

"Uh, my flight from here to Vegas got cancelled."

"What's in Vegas?"

"My mother and father."

"That's so sweet you're going to see your mom for the holidays." She said, and he felt a bit more at ease with her.

"Yeah, but I haven't gotten to see her for the past couple of years."

"I'm sorry." They were quiet for a moment, seeming to think of what to say next.

"So…what brings you here?"

"My family and I…are not on great terms." She pointed to the big bartender behind the bar. "And since Mike here is the only thing that even resembles family I just sit here on Christmas getting drunk."

"Wow." He laughed. "That's a….that's a horrible way to spend Christmas."

"It is!" She laughed and it seemed to brighten the whole bar again but this time it was directed at him and he felt great. "But it's alright." After that they spent hours just talking. They talked about his work, about how she was 26, a forensic scientist and her full name was Emma Marie Hartley. They were just getting to know where they had come from as they talked and laughed…and drank. The next time they looked up from their discussion they saw that they were alone in the bar.

"I'm drunker than I should be." She said.

"Me too." He agreed, smiling. "Would you like to get a cup of coffee?"

"Only if I can make it at my house."

"Oh...It's reasonable that you want to go home…it's been a long night." He said quickly, his smile disappearing.

"I meant for you too silly." She said and took a hold of his hand, pulling him towards the doorway where she grabbed her coat and he barely had time to snatch his coat, scarf, and messenger bag. "Bye, Mike." She called as they exited the bar, going into the lightly falling snow.

"He's just going to let you leave the bar with a stranger?"

"He knows that I know what I'm doing. You're one of the good guys Spencer Reid." She snuggled deeper inside her coat and wrapped her arm in his.

"So, uh, where do you live?"

"Just down the road, we can walk there. Your car will be fine until morning."

"Technically it already is morning." He pointed out and smiled.

"It'll be fine until you go and get it." She amended with a slight giggle and kept walking. When they got to her warm apartment she shrugged off her coat and started the coffee while he set his messenger bag and coat by the door. "How do you take your coffee?"

"Uh, lots of sugar."

"I like your style Spencer."

"Thank you…I think." A couple of minutes later she brought out two steaming cups of coffee and sat down next to him.

"So you work at the BAU?"

"Yes, where do you work?"

"I work for the police department. Not as fabulous as the F.B.I. but it's a living and I like it there." She took a drink of her coffee and looked at him.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course. Isn't that what we've been doing all night?"

"Why did you come up to me at the bar?" He asked and she smiled.

"Because you may have been the cutest guy there." He smiled slightly, trying to hide it.

"Spencer?"

"Yes?" He said a little too quickly as she scooted closer and he noticed she had set her coffee down.

"Can I kiss you?" She asked and his eyes widened.

"Yes." The moment her lips touched his he knew it was a mistake. The electricity that flowed to him was a shock as he ran his hands through her hair, taking charge of the kiss and pushing her back into the couch. He couldn't believe he was doing this, he barely even knew the woman. God, he was turning into the old Morgan. But at this moment, in this place, all he cared about was Emma Hartley and her inviting body.

The next morning Reid woke up cuddled next to a warm body, under a quilt. He looked down and saw Emma's sleeping face resting on his chest. He slowly reached over and got his phone off of the table to see the time. One o'clock in the afternoon? He hadn't slept for more than 5 hours in years and he had slept for ten on this tiny couch. When he looked back down Emma's eyes were open and she was looking around before she finally looked up at him and smiled.

"Hi." She whispered, covering her mouth with the blanket.

"Hey." He said, also smiling.

"Merry Christmas." She said through the blanket.

"Merry Christmas…I'll tell you what we'll get dressed and I'll make breakfast."

"Sounds perfect." She said and they awkwardly tried to get up. They finally got into a sitting position and went to what they had planned to do, very shyly. When she got into her room she was smiling. She was smiling as she put on clothes and she was smiling as she put the toothpaste on her toothbrush. She didn't realize it at first but when she saw herself in the mirror, she stopped. Why was she smiling so big? She had just met this man. This interesting and very attractive man. Then she realized how awkward this must be for him. He was a smart guy, a genius, and here he was in some stranger's house after having drunken sex.

"God, I'm a whore." She muttered, trying to fix her hair. Twenty minutes later Reid had made pancakes and they were at her kitchen table eating them. "These are very good."

"Thank you. I learned how to cook for myself when I was young."

"To take care of your mom." She said with a slight smile.

"You remember."

"I did…"She said smiling, but the smile left her face after a minute before she spoke again. "Listen…I know it's weird after sex for men but after breakfast you can totally leave."

"Do you want me to leave?" He asked.

"Well, no but I don't want you to think you have to stay just because we had sex you know?"

"I just have one question."

"What?"

"What are you doing on New Year's Eve?" He watched as the question sunk in then she smiled again.

---

"Is he hot?" It was in fact New Year's Eve day and Emma was getting ready for her date with Reid. He was taking her to his BAU Party and she was feeling nervous as her best friend Jamie, a 5'6" redhead, sat on her bed and she was in the bathroom getting ready.

"Very." She said and her friend heaved a sigh and hung her head.

"Is he geeky hot? Or hot?"

"He's both." She smiled at herself in the bathroom mirror.

"So he's a geek."

"He's a genius! How'm I supposed to compete with his brain? I should just cancel."

"NO! No! I'm sorry for calling him a geek. You need to get out! I haven't seen you on a date in I don't know how long…besides the last week. And you know he's kind of famous."

"What?"

"I…kinda…sort of….googled him after you told me about him."

"You GOOGLED HIM?" She yelled sticking her head out of the bathroom.

"I did and he's very cute and very very smart. He's slummin'."

"Thanks, you're a great friend."

"I'm just saying! He's very…like woah smart. Like Albert Einstein met Madam Curie and they had a baby."

"You had to throw in that Madam Curie bit?"

"I'm a scientist!"

"To tell the truth I'm kind of nervous to meet his friends so soon…he says they're like his family."

"Emma, sorry to burst your little insecure bubble but you two have been out on a date every night for the last week...and doing it like every night."

"We do not 'do it' every night. Just the first night and we were drunk."

"Listen, obviously you really like this guy. You haven't actually liked a guy since…like college."

"Yes I have."

"No. No you haven't."

"Fine I haven't but I really like Spencer."

"I know, that's what I've been trying to tell you this whole time."

"Ok. How do I look?" She walked out of the bathroom revealing her black halter topped dress with a black and silver satin skirt. Her hair was curled and her lips were bright red from her lipstick. Jamie sat up from her lying down position in awe.

"I'd do you if that helps."

"It does. What are you going to do tonight?"

"I have a date of my own." She smiled.

"With your vibrator?" Emma asked with a smile and Jamie scoffed.

"Maybe." She said getting up and getting her stuff. "Have fun with your Dr. Reid! I have to go because I too have a real date…not with my vibrator. Love ya and please please have fun." She gave Emma a hug and left. Emma went back into the bathroom to finish her makeup. Just as she had finished putting on her eye shadow she heard a knocking on her door. She looked at herself in the mirror and wondered one more time if she should've cancelled before opening the door. Opening the door might've been the biggest mistake she made for when she did Reid managed to take her breath away. He was wearing a grey suit with a purple tie that matched the scarf she had seen him wear many times before and a black overcoat.

"I feel underdressed." She said looking down at herself. Little did she know that she was having the exact same effect on him.

"You look beautiful." He said as she put on her coat.

"You…too?" She said slowly, knowing that sounded weird. "I mean...you look very nice…but more than nice and…" She looked at him helplessly.

"Thank you." He smiled and held out his arm for her to take. She took it, an extremely tight knot in her stomach.

Once at Morgan and Garcia's house for the part after a very happy ride over they were all smiles. He knocked on the door and a very pregnant Garcia opened it a very bright smile plastered on her face. When she saw who it was her smile widened, if that was even possible. First she pulled Reid into a big hug that lasted for what seemed like forever. Then she turned to Emma and pulled her into a hug.

"It's sooo nice to finally meet you! I'm Penelope Garcia! Every time we would call Reid he was just talk and talk and talk about how much fun he was having!"

"Thank you?" She said awkwardly. Garcia let her go and ushered them both inside the house. They were both greeted by the team. Emma surprisingly felt at ease as she met Spencer's team/family. They were very affectionate towards him and welcomed her as if they'd known her forever. Once Reid and Emma were separated he was alone with the men she was alone with all of the women at the party which consisted of Penelope, who she already knew , and two other women she didn't. A blonde holding a very cute, very sleeping, baby boy and a tall brunette holding an older cute little boy.

"I'm Emily Prentiss." The brunette, Emily, said. Putting the boy down and holding out her hand. "And this is Jack."

"Hi!" Jack yelled. "I'm Jack Hotchner. That's my daddy." He said and pointed to a tall man. When she looked at where the men were she saw Spencer looking at her and she smiled before turning her attention back to Jack.

"I'm Emma." She said to both Jack and Emily.

"That's really close to Em'ly's name!" he said in wonderment. They all smiled down at him before JJ introduced herself.

"I'm Jennifer or JJ and this is Henry." She nodded her head towards the baby.

"He's so cute and nice to meet you. Spencer talks about you all a lot."

"He does?"

"Oh yeah, he says you guys are his family."

"And we feel the same." Penelope said popping a carrot in her mouth and in turn making all of them laugh.

"Just how much have you talked about me, Doctor?" She asked with a smile once they were alone in a corner after she had been passed around meeting everyone.

"I know you may be thinking we're moving too fast, because over 80% of women feel that a man is moving too fast in a relationship and only 65% of men feel that they're actually moving too fast, but my friends are really involved in each other's lives and I really like you." He blurted.

"I… really like you too." She said. She leaned over to kiss him when they hear loud cheering coming from the party and realized it was midnight…so she kissed him anyway. 'What a wonderful way to ring in the new year.' They both thought as almost everyone in the room celebrated.
