Spencer stretches his legs carefully, trying not to wake up the beautiful girl whose head is on his shoulder. He kisses the top of her short, brown curls. He runs his hand up and down her back, trying to decide if he should get up now or push it off for another hour or so. Gabriella opens her eyes slowly.

"Well shit," She says to herself, not looking up at his face.

"What's wrong?" Spencer whispers, disappointed by her response to waking up next to him.

A giant smile takes over her face. "Oh, thank God it's just you. I was afraid I'd gotten drunk and…" She trails off, "What happened last night. I wasn't drunk was I? I do feel kind of hung-over. I mean damn, my ribs."

Spencer kisses her forehead, "No, honey, you weren't drunk. Steven was being an asshole again." Spencer recaps the night for her.

"Thanks, Spence. You know, you've always been sort of a safe haven for me."

"I know."

Spencer gets up to make the pair breakfast as Gabby hops into the shower before work. Gabby walks out of the bathroom in a black, button up shirt and khaki pants. Her makeup is done perfectly. The bruises on her cheek barely visible, and her hair styled to cover the gash on her forehead. Spencer, on the other hand, is quite disheveled and manages to burn the pancakes.

Gabriella smiles as she walks towards him. She takes the pan from Spencer and throws the burnt pancakes into the garbage. She peaks into the fridge. "I'm totally going to have to buy you groceries tonight," She says with a laugh.

"I don't normally cook," Spencer admits sheepishly. The two eat toast, and Spencer finishes getting ready.

The two walk into work together, Gabriella ignores the smirk on Agent Morgan's face, hugs Spencer, and walks towards Garcia's office.

"Gooooooooooooooodmorning Beeeeeeeeeeautiful!" The chubby blonde says all to cheerily as Gabby enters.

"Hey," Gabriella responds with an attempted smile.

"Hey? That's it? People these days," Garcia mutters under her breath.

Gabriella lets out a small laugh and shakes her head.

Reid tries his hardest to ignore Morgan's stare as Gabriella hugs him. He watches for a second as she walks away, then sits at his desk.

Morgan is there within seconds, 13 to be exact. "So, what's with you and the intern? Did our doctor here get lucky last night?"

"Far from it," Reid mumbles. Morgan gives him a questioning look.

"I need coffee," Reid states.

Morgan follows him into the break room, "What happened? I know something happened. You aren't a hugger and I've never seen you look like this."

"That asshole hit her again. Busted her ribs, gave her a concussion. She called me and it was all I had not to shoot that son of a bitch."

"What has boy genius using such colorful language?' Prentiss asks as her and JJ pour themselves some coffee.

Morgan and Reid ignore them, "So is she staying with you? Wait, why did she call you, of all people?"

"Yes, and we've been close since college. She was the only friend I had before I started here."

Prentiss looks as if she's going to explode, "Who?"

"Gabriella," Spencer says at the same time Morgan replies with "that hot intern chick working with Garcia"

"What about me?" Gabriella says as she and Garcia enter the break room, too.

"Nothing," The four all say in unison.

The group gets their coffee and head off to work. It's an uneventful day in the BAU for most of the team, but Reid just can't help but think about what he's going to do to Steven when Gabriella and Garcia go out tonight. He already talked things over with Morgan, who, luckily, has some ties with the local PD. This guy would not be spending his night at home.
