Hello everyone! Sorry that I'm a little bit late updating but I was so exhausted from my finals on Friday that I slept for the rest of my day. This takes place 4 weeks after chapter 1. Any ways here goes chapter 2, hope y'all enjoy it!
It's Definitely Love:
Chapter 2
Everyone was morbid; they had the right to be. They were at the funeral reception for Haley. The whole team couldn't believe they weren't able to stop Foyet in time, now Jack would be left without a mother. Emily and Reid stood outside contemplating what had happened in the past few weeks. Everything had taken a huge toll on the teams emotions, that both were glad to have each other for support.
"This is crazy! I hate that we have to go out on another case so soon." Emily complained.
"I know." He answered. "But you know it's what Hotch would do if…" He couldn't even bring himself to finish. In the past Haley had been so kind to him; she was almost like an older sister who looked out for him or gave him advice. He couldn't believe that she was gone.
Emily could tell that Spencer took Haley's death harder than she did. She gave him a squeeze on the shoulder to comfort him.
"I love you, you know that right?" He said place his hand on hers.
"Of course I do. I love you too."
They stood there for a little while longer until they both knew it was time to go start the next case. It hurt them to leave Hotch in a situation like this but it was their job and they needed to help these women in Tennessee.
2 days later:
Spencer sat on his hotel bed contemplating the past few weeks. Hayley's death had put a new perspective on his life. He needed to see Emily; he checked his watch and saw that it was midnight; he got up and walked out to her room door. He gave a quiet knock and waited for her answer.
"Spencer, come in." She said as soon as she saw him.
As soon as she shut the door behind him he kissed her.
"Wow what was that?" She asked in shock.
"These past few weeks have been making me question everything…"
"Babe what are you talking about?" She asked in worry.
"Emily when I watched how much Hotch hurt when Hayley died I knew that I didn't want to go through that ever."
"Spencer what are you saying?"
"Emily what I'm trying to say is that I don't want to spend another day without telling you how I feel." He began. "Emily Prentiss will you marry me?"
"What?" She gasped in shock.
"I know we haven't been together long but I know that I don't want to spend another day without you. Will you marry me?"
She was so surprised by his question that she couldn't even answer. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him as if she hadn't seen him in years. She loved him so much and she wanted to be with him forever; these past few weeks had put everything in perspective for her.
"Does that mean you're saying yes?" Spencer asked when they broke the kiss.
"What do you think?" She teased. "I'm definitely saying yes, I'll marry you Spencer Reid." They kissed once again and hugged for what seemed like hours.
"I'm sorry I don't have a ring and that I couldn't get down on one knee." He apologized.
"It's alright by me. Besides we didn't exactly start our relationship traditionally." She replied.
He gave her another kiss and they felt each other move towards her bed. Their hands roamed each others bodies. They knew they were breaking their rule but this was a special occasion. Her hands started to undo his tie and unbutton his shirt. His hand reached down to the hem of her shirt and slowly started lifting it higher. They were losing clothes fast in this heated moment. His kissed began trailing everywhere.
"Spencer I love you." She said breathlessly.
"So much for the rules." Spencer muttered after they were done.
They lay entangled in each others arms trying to regain energy.
"I think this can be the exception." Emily replied. "We did just get engaged."
"You're right, we had to celebrate."
"So I guess this means we need to tell the team…." Emily concluded.
"They probably already know; we do work with profilers." He replied.
"Yeah, you're right. Plus Garcia and her lair of knowledge probably already found out." She laughed. "But seriously when do you want to tell everyone?"
"Whenever you feel comfortable with it." He replied.
"Always making it difficult for me aren't you?" She teased. "I like it just being us for now so I want to wait a little bit longer."
"Whatever makes you happy." He said giving her a kiss at her temple.
"You're so sweet." She said. "I wish you could stay the night."
"Me too, it kills me to know that I have to leave my fiancée alone after having amazing sex."
"More like mind-blowing sex." She corrected.
"Exactly, I still wish I could spend tonight with you but I know I can't." He got out of bed and began getting dressed.
"Don't forget about me." She said as she watched him get dressed.
"You'll never have to worry about that." He replied giving her a kiss. "And when we get back to D.C. we can shop for your ring."
"You can surprise me; I want to know if you've been listening and paying attention."
"Eidetic memory, remember?"
"When you repeat it five times a day it's pretty hard to forget." She teased.
"Please, you love it."
"I never said I didn't." She said kissing him.
"As much as I'm enjoying this I need to go." He said after kissing her. "I love you."
"I love you too!"
The Next Day:
"You look excited to go home." Morgan said to Emily on the jet.
"I am. It feels like I haven't been in home forever." She replied.
Spencer was sitting across from her setting up the chess board.
"Same here." Morgan said. "What are your plans for when you get home?"
"Getting into bed and sleeping." She said. "With my fiancée!" She added silently.
"You're boring." Morgan teased. "How about you, Reid?"
"I ordered this new book that should be in by now."
"Wow you two would make the perfect couple." Morgan laughed. "Both of you are super nerds."
Both looked at each other and could see a twinge of humor in each others eyes.
"Please, I'd probably kill myself from all the statistics he spouts off." She replied with a laugh.
Fortunately for Spencer he knew she was lying to get Morgan of her back. She always loved his statistics.
"Yeah, you're right; the day you two get together is the day I'll dress in drag." He laughed.
'Better start shopping!' Emily thought. She could see Spencer wanting to laugh. He tried distracting himself with their game of chess.
Spencer couldn't help but imagine Morgans face when they would come out with their relationship. He could already see his jaw to the floor. When they arrived back in Quantico Spencer and Emily rushed to the car and burst out laughing at Morgans comment.
"Oh, that was hilarious!" Emily laughed.
"It certainly was." He replied. "I can't wait to see his reaction."
"Me too, I wonder if he'll actually go through with drag thing though." She said.
"Oh he better." Reid exclaimed. "It would mean I'd have something to hold over his head."
"You're so evil." She teased.
"Evil genius." He corrected.
She rolled her eyes and chuckled, of course she'd be marrying an evil genius.
That weekend:
"Are you ready to go?" Emily called out to Spencer, who was in the bathroom.
"Almost." He replied.
A few minutes later he came out of the bathroom in his usual uniform, he also looked scared to death.
"Babe don't be nervous." She said.
"I can't help it, what if she doesn't like me?"
"First of all mother hated most of the men I've dated, but you know what? None of them were like you. And secondly my mother wants me to be happy and you make me happy. If she doesn't see that then she's blind." She reassured. "Besides, I love you more than anything."
"I love you too." He replied taking a deep breath. "Let's go."
"Yes, Lets."
When they arrived at the ambassador's home they gave each other a quick kiss for good luck and strength and then rang doorbell. One of the help let them in and led them to the patio where lunch was being served.
"Emily sweetheart, how are you?" Her mother greeted her.
"I'm doing great mother, and you?"
"I'm doing well." She replied. "And who might you be?"
"I'm Dr. Spencer Reid. I work with Emily at the BAU." He said extending his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
She shook his hand and smiled brightly. "Doctor you say, you seem pretty young to be a doctor."
"I have three PhD's."
"Spencer's just being modest; he's a genius and has an IQ of 187. He graduated high school when he was 12 years old!" Emily explained.
"Oh how interesting!" Elizabeth Prentiss replied. "What brings you two over?"
"Mother, Spencer and I have been dating for a few months…" She began.
"Really?" Elizabeth interrupted. "How long is a few months?"
"Seven months, one week, and 3 days." Spencer replied.
"Wow he's a keeper Emily, I wish your father was able to remember thing like that."
"I'm glad you think that mother, because spencer and I are engaged." She said quickly.
"Pardon?" Elizabeth said.
"Mother on our last case Spencer proposed and I said yes."
"Emily don't you think it's a little too soon to be getting married?"
"I know you think it's too soon but Spencer and I have known each other for three years and besides I'm not getting any younger."
"I just don't want to see you regret anything in your life. Your father and I were together for ten years before we got married."
"I know mother, but Spencer makes me so happy. I know everything about him, I know all his flaws and he knows mine. I know that I could never regret being with him."
Elizabeth looked at her daughter knowing that she was deeply in love with this man, he made her happy and that was all she truly wanted for her daughter.
"Dr. Reid, may I speak to you in private?"
"Yes Ambassador." He replied.
They stood and walked to her office. When they sat in her office there was dead silence.
"Now Dr. Reid, I'm sure you understand why I need to speak with you in private." She began
"Yes Ambassador."
"I love my daughter deeply, she's my only child and I don't want to see her hurt."
"Neither do I." He agreed.
"Emily's made quite a few mistakes in her lifetime; I don't want her to regret this. Marriage is a sacred part of life; I don't want her to be unhappy."
"I completely understand Ambassador; I've made quite a few mistakes too. I can assure you that Emily and I aren't making a mistake. I love your daughter with all my heart; I don't want to spend another day without her in my life. And as for marriage, I know that I only want to be married to one person for the rest of my life and it's Emily."
Elizabeth looked at Spencer for a minute. She could spot bullshit from a mile away but this man was truly in love with her daughter, she believed every word he said.
"I must say that I'm very impressed by you, not only are you smart but you are honest and genuinely in love with my daughter. I'd be proud to have you as my son-in-law, Dr. Reid."
"Thank you Ambassador Prentiss. And please call me Spencer." He replied.
"Spencer, I feel as though it's appropriate for you to call me Elizabeth now."
"Thank you."
"Oh and Spencer I've noticed that there isn't a ring on my daughters finger, is there a reason?"
"Oh yes. The proposal happened while we were out on a case, I didn't have a ring but I have one now." He said reaching into his pocket and pulling out a ring box.
Elizabeth opened the ring box and saw a 3 stone ruby ring set on a gold band.
"You know my daughter very well I see." She smiled. "It's beautiful."
"Thank you, I'm planning on giving it to her after our visit today. Rubies symbolize friendship and love; Emily is both my friend and love." He replied.
They stood and made their way back out to the patio. He was glad that their conversation went well. He had been so afraid that she would hate him. The rest of their lunch went great. By the time they left it was four in the afternoon. Elizabeth walked them out of the house and watched them on their way to their car.
Their day had been a success. Her mother had accepted her relationship and she even promised to keep it a secret until they decided to share the news with the team.
"That went really well." Emily said leaning against his shoulder as they walked out of the house.
"Yes it did. And to think I was nervous." He replied.
"Well I'm glad you two get along." She said.
"Yeah, me too." He replied. Suddenly he stopped walking.
"Babe, what's wrong? Is it your leg?"
"No it's something else." He reached into his pocket and revealed the ring box to her.
"Is this…." She began.
"Open it."
She slowly opened the box to see the beautiful ruby ring.
"Spencer, it's beautiful!" She responded. "Is this why you've been AWOL lately?"
"Yes, I was trying to find the perfect ring." He took the ring out of the box and slid it onto her finger.
"And you knew not to get a diamond."
"Rubies are known as the symbol of love and friendship. That's what you are to me, my friend and my love."
She started to tear up at his comment.
"Oh we better speed home because you are getting lucky tonight." She teased.
"They're also said to increase sexual love and passion." He added.
She gave him a long kiss. She was so happy today, her mother was getting along with her and she had a great fiancée with her.
"I love you." She said.
"I love you too."
Hope y'all enjoyed chapter 2. Originally Emily's ring was supposed to be different but a few days ago my boyfriend proposed and he got me a ruby ring because he knows I don't like regular diamonds. Chapter 3 should be up this week so stay tuned!
