So, what am I doing with this story? Hmmm. Well aside, from having way too much free time, 24/7 internet access (WHOO), and a very over due vendetta against CBS for killing of Maeve...so much! This is going to focus on Reid and Maeve and all the happiness they and the team COULD have shared over the coarse of their lives. What would two unsupervised genius's do? What could possibly go wrong? *wink. We will have to find out.
Short, but (hopefully) frequent chapters.

Chapter Two: New Beginnings
...
It had been two weeks. Two long, over bearing weeks, that were driving Reid out of his mind.
He couldn't take it!
But every time he tried to mustered up enough courage to walk over to her, he would open his mouth and no words would come out.
"Reid?" Maeve asked. He didn't move, didn't even blink. "Reid?" She waved a hand in front of his face and sighed. He had done this about... 34.7 times over the past few weeks, and she just couldn't figure out why.
Well...
To be honest, deep down she did know. She had been yearning for the day he would ask her, and they could take a step forward as a couple. But every time. Every single time, he walked up to her, he would freeze up.
It was endearing, adorable and down right sweet, but after 34.7 times, it was getting kind of old.
It was on the 35 time that Maeve had had enough. Reid had come to her with flowers: beautiful, bright tulips that he knew were her favorite. His hair was combed, his shirt was crisp from the iron. This was one of his more daring attempts. But just like always just when she turned to him, just as their eyes met, just as he opened his mouth, he froze up and spazed out, spewing utter nonsense and idiocy.
"Reid?" Maeve replied, tiresomely. Once again, nothing. He was like a statue. "Come on Reid? What were you going to say?"
"gud..skdn..." He sputtered. Maeve was a pretty patient person, but enough was enough. It was time, this was long over due. She couldn't wait for him to ask her any more. Awkward and shy would only get old just this once.
She smiled sweetly, "Reid, do you want to move in together?"
Reid's mouth fell open. Robotically, he stuck the flowers out to her and nodded.
She gave him a kiss on the cheek, took the flowers, and giggled, "That's what I thought."
