Spencer felt like nothing could go wrong. Though with his luck he was bound to be wrong.

He has been in Ireland for five months. It was two after his phone call to Hotch. Desmond's friend had let them know that the CIA, FBI and an Army had arrived and were looking for Spencer. After receiving that information, Desmond locked down the house. Quinn and Lochlan were not happy.

The genius on the other hand kept busy. He used his knowledge to keep an eye on everyone using Desmond, Quinn, and Lochlan's laptop. The CIA, Garcia, and Aiden's computer tech didn't know nor could they track him. Spencer had half the mind to lecture the CIA on their forgetful memory. The other half wanted to be childish and flood their computers with spam ads. In the end he just routed their search to known hackers and pirates. He figured that will keep them busy.

When he wasn't playing games with the government he was spending time with his family. The four of them were now much closer than they were when they first met. Quinn and Lochlan now treat him like they do Desmond. And Desmond treats him like a husband treats his wife.

At first Spencer questioned it, but after a month he gave up and went with it. Every day Desmond would buy him something. Every weekend he would take Spencer out on dates, at least he did before he had to lock the house down. Then of course every night Desmond would show Spencer how much he loves him. Spencer loves their night together.

(*v*)

Aiden Callahan was furious. Ever since he seen that twink Reid, he wanted nothing more than to shoot that little bastard. After all he was the reason nothing seem to go right.

Things went downhill the second Reid batted his lashes at McKenrick. Aiden's revenge should have worked. He successfully drove a wedge between the lovers, no matter how much it sicken him to do it. Then McKenrick was arrested and Reid yanked out of Ireland; oh that was a good day.

Again days later his plans went to hell. Quinn McKenrick took the mantle and appointed that bastard Lochlan to be his eyes and ears. Aiden thought he could finish his plans, but was forced to give up after several failed attempts. The McKenricks had others watching while they were gone and the CIA sent a replacement agent. So he and his men laid low. He didn't count on being under the radar for four years.

He and his men resurfaced after hearing that Desmond McKenrick was released. It shocked the hell out of him to see Reid with him. So he formed an attack plan. Only it didn't go as he planned. He never counted on Reid being a good fighter and shooter. A mistake he won't repeat.

It may have taken him longer to form this new plan, but he was confident that it will work. Now he just had to wait for the perfect time. The McKenricks and their twink were finally going to pay.

That time came three months after he attacked them. Aiden had been watching the house while his men were keeping an ear to the ground. He knew that McKenrick had the house on lock down because the American government was looking for their missing agent.

When he heard about the arrival he told his men to keep them away. The family needed to pay and he will have his revenge.

(*v*)

Lochlan McKenrick was going stir crazy. He hated that brother locked the house down. There really wasn't much to do in the house. All the liquor was gone, he and Quinn drank it all. He had read every single book including Spencer's Kindle library. They were all tired of poker because they all now owe Spencer over five hundred dollars. In one big summary, things were so boring both Quinn and Lochlan had to lock a room on the outside to keep them in. Otherwise they would be outside Desmond and Spencer's room every night. Neither man wanted to hear their brothers going at it like rabbits.

He had to get out. He'll go to a pub and try his luck with the female population. It was a good thing he knew all the escape routes out of the house. Only one wasn't wired to the alarm. His main problem was leaving without getting caught.

The younger McKenrick waited until his cousin and brothers went to bed. He silently exited the room and made his way to the billiards room. Lochlan lifted the secret door under the table, no one else knew except him and his grandfather. He slid into the opening and slowly closed the door. The passage, according to his grandfather, is the first one built. It leads under the house, down a long tunnel, to the second opening inside the cottage. The hidden door opens into the master bedroom's closet.

He took the long way through the woods around the main house. Where he would have to travel half a mile to the main road. The trip will be worth it once he is in bed with a beautiful woman, or a man if the females shoot him down. Lochlan was picky about his bed partners' gender.

Lochlan was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice someone sneaking up on him. The young man felt the blow to the back of his head. He quickly gave in to the pain and drowning darkness.

(*v*)

Aiden relished in the euphoric feeling as he looked down at Lochlan McKenrick. He didn't hesitate when he saw the younger man walk out of the woods. He wanted to know how, but that could wait. After all his troubles he needed a little torture to counter his failures. When he was done he'll give him back with a message. Either dead or alive, he hadn't decided yet.

Aiden dragged the knocked out man to his car and threw him in. During the drive he thought of different ways to torture the younger McKenrick. The options were unlimited and at this point he was tempted to do all of them. Aiden wanted the man to break.

(*v*)

Aaron was feeling a myriad of emotions. He couldn't let the team see any of it, except for the anger of Spencer being gone and the concern of Spencer's health.

The Unit Chief told himself that his genius was forced to say those things. Even though deep down he knew that it was a lie. Aaron wasn't ready to give Spencer up.

The search for the missing genius was long and frustrating. They couldn't rely on Garcia or the CIA computer techs. They were informed that someone breached the firewalls and was sending them to hackers and online pirates. Both the BAU and CIA were short tempered. That only got worse when Gwen Byrd told all of them that Spencer worked in Counter Intelligence. The BAU didn't want to believe it, even though Spencer had told them. They stopped denying it when Morrow showed them Reid's file.

After that they sat down and made a new plan. Four hours of shouting and arguing later, they made one. Emily was going to talk to her contacts and ask for some favors. Gwen was going to do the same with the Military. They were all hopeful that it will work.

Aaron more than the rest of them needed this to work.

(*v*)

Thwack Lochlan flinched and bit his lip. The copper taste filled his mouth in his attempt to keep from screaming. There was no way in hell he would give Callahan the satisfaction. No matter how many times the man beats his body with a cane.

They were on day three, something the bastard smugly tells him every time he comes back. Every day is something different. The first was hours of a knife slashing his skin. Afterwards salt would be used. Callahan would have someone come in a while later to wash the salt off and give him an antibiotic shot. They told him that their boss didn't want him sick or killed until the right time. He was kept hanging from the ceiling.

Day two was filled with a combination of electroshock and waterboarding. Lochlan barely kept his sanity intact. He didn't tell them anything they wanted to know. Before leaving, in a fit of rage Callahan broke his leg.

Now day three. Lochlan thought this one was pretty tamed. He was enduring BDSM punishments. So far he was beaten with a belt, cat-o-nine, riding crop, paddle, and now a cane. It was only from a short experience experiment that kept him from giving in. Even if Callahan was hitting harder that most Doms and Dommes. Also Lochlan knew that none of Callahan's men or himself would go as far as to rape him. Spencer's knowledge of these men was helping him endure this torture.

The young McKenrick sent a silent prayer for help as the cane landed again.

(*v*)

Desmond's attention was split three ways. He was keeping Spencer calm, stopping Quinn from going out to kill someone, and finding his baby brother. The three of them had been frantic when they found that Lochlan was missing. They were sick with worry and pissed that they couldn't find him.

They all had a good idea as to where the young man could be or at least who was with him. Spencer was trying to track him while Quinn and Desmond called their contacts. Everyone they knew was keeping an eye out. Spencer was tracking multiple cameras and having them search for Aiden's face. He was running a separate search on the other rogues.

Three days and they were coming up blank. Spencer feared the worse and prayed that they get Lochlan back alive.

Nightfall of the fifth day Spencer thanked whatever deity was listening. The computer binged to let him know that Aiden was out in the open. He got lucky even further when the camera gave him a clear picture of the license plate. Spencer wrote down the address where Aiden left, then wrote the last traffic and business camera down. Before running out of the room he made sure to record everything as well as making sure the cameras continue to track the car.

"Des! Quinn!" Spencer yelled as he rushed through the house.

Desmond and Quinn rushed out of the office to meet Spencer in the hall. Desmond wondered if his lover had any good news. Quinn saw the happy smile and sighed in relief. They were going to get Lochlan back, and possibly get revenge.

"What did you find, Spencer?" Demsond asked.

"Lochlan. The computer found Aiden finally. They are holding him in the abandon warehouse by the shipping docks. I recognize the address, then I followed Aiden's movements. He is just outside the city limits. I have his license plate and the car's make, model and color."

"I'll get the weapons." Quinn said as he turned to walk down the hall.

"Quinn, stop." Spencer ordered.

Quinn turned to look at his brother in all but blood. "What? We need to get Lochlan."

"We need a plan and do a little recon. We can't go all Gung ho on this. That will get us and Loch killed. Also we can't kill them as much as its deserved." Spencer explained to the trigger happy man.

"What you're thinking is dangerous. For all of us." Desmond warned.

Quinn looked between the two. His cousin had a hard look while Spencer was glaring. He knew missed something.

"What's going on?"

"Tell him, Spencer." Desmond ordered.

Spencer's glared became more heated. "I think its best to call my teams in to raid the warehouse, after we get Aiden inside and Lochlan out." He explained while keeping his glare on Desmond.

"Tell him the other part. I know you already have a set plan."

"I'm going to trade with Aiden. He can have me if he leaves you three alone."

"Are you fucking crazy?!" Quinn yelled. "That bastard would shoot you in a heartbeat before he shoots us."

"I'm trained for this. This is what I do. If you and Desmond have a problem with that, then you two can keep your asses here!" Spencer yelled back. The two older men really knew how to push him.

"You are not going alone. Damn it, Spencer, I lost you once I'm not going through that again!" Desmond yelled his opinion.

"There is no one else. Quinn needs to be outside to make sure no one else comes in. You need to go in with me, so you can get Lochlan out of there. Then you and Quinn need to take him to the hospital. I have to stay to make sure they don't leave to give the CIA and FBI enough time to show up. Now stop arguing with me." Spencer explained like he was talking to children instead of thirty year old men.

"Hate to say it, Des, but Spence is right. We can't waste time arguing. We need to move fast before Aiden decides to kill Lochlan."

Desmond looked between his cousin and the man he wants to marry. He knew both were right, but that didn't mean he had to be happy about it.

"Fine. We'll do this your way. If you get hurt in any way I get to punish you."

"Like I didn't think you wouldn't say that." Spencer deadpanned.

"I'm reserving the right to punish Lochlan." Quinn responded.

"Go ahead. He is all yours." Desmond agreed. He didn't trust himself if he had to do it.

"Great everything is settled. Lets get ready, I'll call my team on the way." Spencer clapped his hands then walked into the bedroom.

They left the house a half hour later. Spencer called Hotch's phone and Gwen's. He spoke long enough to give them the coordinates. After his calls he went over the plan again to make sure both older man didn't forget or change it.

The car was parked three buildings away. Spencer used the laptop to dismantle the alarms and cameras. He put the computer away and checked his guns again. With another 'shoot to wound' order they got out of the car.

Quinn checked the perimeter then gave them the all clear. Desmond and Spencer move quickly and quietly. They were inside without trouble. After fifteen minutes of searching they found Lochlan in the backroom. The couple had to steel themselves and rein in their anger. A shared look told one another that Quinn was going to kill someone. Spencer hopes the big man will be gone before Aiden arrives or Spencer's team.

"Take him and go. He needs a hospital now. Take Quinn with you." Spencer whispered.

Desmond gave his lover a bruising kiss. "Be careful." He whispered back.

Desmond picked his brother up carefully, Lochlan cried out in pain. The older McKenrick clenched his jaw and left the room. Lochlan wouldn't be leaving the house for a long time.

Spencer heard Quinn's cursing in Gaelic and English. He stifled a laugh, grabbed a chair, placing it in the middle of the main room. The agent pulled out his phone to dial one more number. The person answered on the second ring.

"Aiden." He taunted with a smile. "You are a walking cliché. Seriously an abandon warehouse. Though I have to say no arm guards to keep watch over a prisoner is new. You need to brush up on you villainy." Spencer laughed.

"Reid, I'm going to fucking kill you!" Aiden yelled.

"I'll be right here waiting for you." He hung up the phone with a laugh.

Spencer wanted to lecture Aiden about being punctual. He sat there waiting for forty-five minutes. He was surprised that the FBI, CIA and the Military team didn't barge in. The now annoyed agent was close to just getting up and going to the hospital. It was ridiculous that they were making him wait like this. He had a hurt little brother in the hospital and two men with itchy trigger fingers waiting for him.

"Didn't think you were stupid enough to sit here and wait for me to kill you." Aiden said as he walked into the building.

"Who said you were going to kill me?" Spencer laughed.

"I did. You ruined everything."

"I ruined nothing. I stopped your little enterprise and now you and your team are going to be arrested. All of you will be facing charges back in the states. The main one is treason."

Aiden laughed. "Oh I guess you are going to bring me in. Last I heard the CIA wanted nothing to do with you. Poor little Spencer Reid loses his high priority job because he screwed up and got burned."

Spencer laughed again. "Someone hasn't been getting all the news."

Aiden growled and stepped closer. His gun hand twitched. "What does that mean?"

Spencer tilted his head and smirked. "I'm sorry that's classified. Strictly need to know."

Aiden leveled his gun at Spencer, who continued to sit and calmly look at him. Aiden admits that it unnerved him a little. This was not what he was expecting when he confronted Reid. He expected Reid to be docile and scared, not calm and collected.

Spencer kept his face impassive, but on the inside he was scared. He silently wished for someone to bust in and save him. He knew Aiden would shoot him, there was never a doubt about that. Spencer was going to be very annoyed if his friends and co-workers left him to die.

The genius needed to stall for a little bit longer.

"Since you seem intent on killing me, tell me why?" He asked calmly.

Aiden glared. "Why what?"

"Why did you do this? What is your endgame?"

"Why not? Supplying the IRA with American weapons, I'll be blameless. Americans go to war with the IRA, while trying to fight other countries for their betrayal."

"But why?"

Aiden eyed the other man. He saw no harm in telling someone who was going to die anyways. After all no one else was here and he'll get away again. The CIA and FBI would blame McKenrick.

"I served my country for two tours, then worked for the CIA. Said country turned their backs on me and blacklist me when one thing went wrong. This is pure revenge for their betrayal."

"You were blacklist for selling secrets. Highly classified secrets."

"I was ordered to!" Aiden yelled thrusting the gun towards Spencer. "My handler gave me that package and ordered me to complete the mission using any means necessary. An hour later I get a phone call saying I was fired and blacklist. No other explanation was spoken."

Spencer looked at Aiden closely. He seen that the other man was telling the truth. Spencer himself had questioned the dismissal of a model agent like Aiden. No one would answer his questions other than saying that the man sold classified secrets. Even with this new information there was still something missing.

Spencer calmly looked at Aiden. "Listen, surrender to me peacefully and I will do everything I can to help you."

Aiden let out a bitter laugh. "I don't need or want your help. I handled everything already. After that I did all of this willingly and will continue to do so. You will be dead, McKenrick will be blamed, and I will get away and finish my mission. Nothing and no one will stop me."

"Someone will stop you." Spencer spoke confidently.

"We shall see." Aiden countered with a smirk. He leveled the gun to Reid's chest. "Any last words?" He mocked.

"Not really." Spencer deadpanned then closed his eyes. He thought of Desmond as he waited for the shot.

Not wasting anymore time Aiden pulled the trigger. He was surprised when multiple shots were heard.

(*v*)

Aaron Hotchner was itching to barge in and save Spencer. He growled every time the gun pointed at the genius. He and the team were ordered to stand down and wait. Morrow and Strauss wanted to see if Spencer could get any information out of Callahan. Aaron hated this more than anything.

Every agent and soldier was hidden in various places inside the warehouse. They had all arrived in time to see Spencer tell Desmond McKenrick to take his brother and go. Aaron was stopped from stepping forward when Spencer was kissed. They watched the Irishman leave with his brother and cousin. They heard Spencer make his call to Callahan while he sat in a chair waiting. Many of them wanted to walk out and berate the genius. The only thing stopping them was Morrow and Strauss' orders.

Tom Morrow could kiss that genius when Aiden Callahan confessed. Spencer got the reason for Callahan's treasonous act, along with confirming a mole within the CIA. It was going to be a long and hard battle to get Spencer back where he belongs.

When Callahan raised his gun, Morrow didn't hesitate to give the order. He watched Hotchner rush out along with Morgan and Desmond McKenrick. The latter was a surprise, though not by much. Tom knew how his agent and the Irishman felt about one another. He had lied to his people months ago about not knowing. It was why he worked hard to get the Irishman out of prison. It was he way of an apology to Spencer, even though the reunion between the two could have gone better. Nevertheless Desmond McKenrick and his family will remain free. Spencer will be free to keep his job and his relationship. Tom will make sure of that.

(*v*)

Several things happened at once. Aaron Hotchner, Derek Morgan and Desmond McKenrick fired their weapon the same time Aiden Callahan did. Spencer opened his eyes at the multiple shots and watched as three bullets pierced the man in front of him. Spencer slid to the floor at the same time to avoid getting with Aiden's bullet and a stray if the other three were a through and through.

When Aiden's body fell to the floor, Spencer found himself in Desmond's arms. Desmond sighed in relief as he held his love tightly. He felt thin arms cling around his neck as Spencer's face was pressed into his shoulder. Desmond was so worried that he wouldn't make back in time. His heart threatened to jump out of his chest when he saw that gun point at Spencer.

"Shh, mo chroí." He spoke as he rubbed soothing circles on Spencer's back. The lithe body was trembling against him. It made him angry that Spencer was scared. "It's all over, aingeal, you don't have to worry anymore. You are safe now. Let's go, Quinn and Lochlan are still at the hospital."

Spencer let Desmond's deep calm voice wash over him. He took several deep breaths to calm himself. He was tired of having guns pointed at him or being shot at. All this had started when he went to work at the FBI. Nothing like this has happened when he worked for the CIA. Not even when he went undercover. No one drew a gun on him that whole time.

Once he was calm he pulled away to look at Desmond. "Just promise we get to go home soon."

Desmond placed a soft kiss on Spencer's forehead. "Of course, aingeal. Quinn will stay with Lochlan. He called his brother-in-law and asked for extra protection. Patrick is sending a few enforcers to the hospital. They'll be there before us."

"Then lets go. I don't want to be here anymore."

"Spence?" A soft voice called from behind him.

Spencer turned around and spotted JJ with everyone else. He felt Desmond's arms around his waist, he learned back against the solid form.

"When did you get here?" He asked.

"Not long after you called." Aaron answered, glaring behind Spencer.

Spencer resisted rolling his eyes. "Everyone meets Desmond McKenrick. Des meet Aaron, Derek, Emily, Dave, Jennifer, Gwen, Brad, Tom, Erin, Lt. Commander Matthews SEAL, Captain Taylor Marine sniper, Sergeants Jameson and Jackson Army, Lieutenants Sillman and Carmichael Spec. Ops., and finally Commander Turner Air Force." Spencer introduced, pointing at each person.

"Nice to meet you all. Sorry we can't stay longer." Desmond politely responded.

"Agent Reid, you need to come back with us to fill out the paperwork." Strauss replied.

Spencer smiled when Desmond tightened his arms. "May I have a few days? Lochlan, Desmond's brother, is in the hospital. I don't want to leave him until I know he'll be alright."

"Of course. His part needs to be in the report since it ties in with your involvement. Please write out what happened to him and also add in Mr. McKenrick's part as well."

"Yes, ma'am. Everything will be done professionally. Director Morrow, do you need me to add anything?"

"No, just duplicate your report. Also if you have the time I would like to meet with you."

"About?"

"Coming back."

"Umm..." Spencer didn't know how to reply.

"Spencer is staying with the BAU." Hotch spoke sternly.

"That is Spencer's choice." Brad argued.

"He is not leaving the BAU." Morgan countered.

"If I had it my way you wouldn't be leaving Ireland." Desmond whispered in Spencer's ear. "But I know you love your job, whichever one you pick. I won't stop you if you want to go back."

Spencer's breath caught in his throat. He also felt tears gather in his eyes. Desmond was going to willingly let him leave. Spencer turned around and wrapped his arms around the older man's neck. He softly kissed Desmond, showing him what he was feeling. It was the only way he could express his love at the moment.

"Thank you." He whispered when he pulled away. "I don't want to leave you again."

Desmond chuckled lowly. "Who said anything about leaving each other. Aingeal, I will follow you to hell itself if you want to be there."

"What about the Family? The house, your job? I can't ask you to leave all that."

"Well its a good thing I'm telling you. The Family will be fine. I'll check in every once in a while. The house will be fine, I'll lock it down before leaving. And my job is to care for you, to make you happy."

"Quinn and Lochlan?" Spencer voiced his last argument.

"Both can take care of themselves. Though they'll follow you like lost puppies. We'll just get a place big enough for the four of us." Desmond reasoned.

Spencer knew Desmond spoke the truth. He was elated that his family would be with him no matter what he picked. His only problem now was the FBI and CIA. The young agent loved being with the BAU, but he loved what he did with the CIA. The CIA can give him the safety he wanted, while the FBI can give him the challenge he needed. Spencer hated this dilemma. He was tempted to just quit and write for a living or teach.

"Is breá liom tú, Desmond McKenrick, grá mo chroí. I gcónaí agus go deo." Spencer whispered in Desmond's ear.

"Is breá liom tú, Spencer Reid. More than I can ever express."

"Just saying it is enough. Now lets go see Lochlan before Quinn starts searching."

Desmond gave Spencer a smile while grabbing his hand. They walked out of the warehouse, ignoring the agents yelling for them to stop. Neither one wanted to delay the hospital trip any longer.

The trip was in comfortable silence. The couple had said everything they needed to for the moment. Even though both were waiting for privacy to express themselves the way they wanted.

When they arrived Spencer wasted no time yelling at Lochlan. The scared feeling he had felt when they discovered the young man missing came back. The genius was going to make sure his brother didn't do anything stupid again.

Lochlan just laid there listening to Spencer yell at him. It was embarrassing, but he found he didn't mind one bit. The whole time he was captive he was afraid he would never see his family again. His family was both his strength and weakness. He wouldn't change that for anything.

"What happened?" Lochlan asked after Spencer stopped yelling.

"Aiden is dead. We no longer have to worry about him or his men again." Spencer answered with a smile.

Lochlan returned the smile. "Good."

Spencer leaned down to kiss Lochlan's forehead. "Get some sleep, deartháir beag. Quinn will stay with you, as well as Patrick and another guard. Des and I will be here in the morning to take you home."

"Okay." Lochlan replied as he closed his eyes.

After making sure Quinn didn't need anything, Spencer and Desmond left. The couple spent the rest of the night showing one another the depth of their love. They fell asleep when the sun was just beginning to make an appearance.

(*v*)

Spencer and his family didn't make it to Virginia until after a week had passed. He, Quinn and Desmond wanted to make sure Lochlan was fit to fly. It also took longer to fill the Family in on the details. Some of them voiced very strong objections. Desmond wasted no time changing their minds.

Desmond, Quinn and Lochlan knew what Spencer's decision was. After hours of arguing about it they reluctantly conceded with his decision. So while he was tying things up, they were going house hunting. Spencer told them he didn't care as long as he had room for his books and was close to work.

The genius went to the CIA's building first. He handed in his report while listening to how the trials went. He was happy to hear that all the rogues were sent to prison. After that he met Morrow, Brad and Gwen privately. He told them that while he did enjoy his time with the CIA, he decided to stay with the BAU. None of them were happy with his choice but they respected it.

Spencer left them and went to the FBI. He went to Strauss first, turning in his report and telling her his decision. He was shocked when she smiled and said good. She also informed him that the team was grounded until further notice. When he asked why she told him to ask his co-workers.

In a daze he went to the bullpen to his team and second family. Every single one of them cheered at his good news. Emily was the one to tell him about their punishment. He told them that they were lucky Strauss didn't fire them.

When the excitement died down, Aaron asked Spencer to join him in his office. Spencer knew what the older man wanted to talk about. He sat on the couch as Aaron closed the door and sat in a chair.

"Tell me the truth, Spencer. Did he force you in any way?"

"No. I'm sorry, Aaron, I really am. This thing, this love is so strong I couldn't fight it. After awhile I found that I didn't want to fight. I love you, Aaron, but not the same way I love Des. Again I am deeply sorry for any pain I've caused you."

"Forget about it, Spencer." Aaron smiled. "I understand. I had that with Haley despite the problems we had. Before you ask yes we'll still be friends. Nothing will change that. Just promise to see Jack, he likes you, you know."

"I will never leave Jack. I love him. Nothing will change that." Spencer declared.

Aaron chuckled. "Good. And I'm really happy you decided to stay with us."

"Wasn't a hard decision. You all are my second family. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else." Spencer responded in a serious tone.

Aaron nodded. "Glad to hear it. Will you be in tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have a lot of work to do."

"True. Well I'll see you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Aaron. For understanding."

Aaron just nodded. Spencer got up and walked to the door. He grabbed the handle and turned around. "You know if Desmond didn't come back, I would have definitely stayed with you and Jack."

Aaron smiled. "I know. Good bye, Spencer."

"Bye."

Spencer left the office feeling lighter. He felt that things were different and will be easier. The genius received more good news when he got home. His three favorite men found a house for the four of them. They spent enough money to speed up the process. Fast enough that Spencer needed to pack and move in three weeks. He didn't mind one bit.

(*v*)

One Month Later

Spencer laid in bed wrapped up in Desmond's arms. Since he return things have been easier. He no longer felt like Fate's punching bag out in the field. And life with Desmond was good as well.

They had all been surprised a week ago when Lochlan and Aaron announced they were dating. Though the biggest surprise was Quinn, Derek, and Penelope being in a relationship. Spencer was happy for the three of them, they suited and complemented each other well. He and the others were going to be a force to reckon with if anyone tried to destroy that.

Another surprise was Dave and Emily announcing their pregnancy. They made Spencer and JJ godparents. JJ met Will two weeks after Spencer came back. Spencer was happy that the blonde finally found her happiness.

Desmond kissed Spencer's neck and smiled when his lover let out a soft sigh. The Irishman doesn't regret leaving his home, not when he finally got Spencer back.

"Aingeal?" He whispered in his love's ear.

"Hmm." Spencer hummed as he turned to face Desmond.

"I love you."

"I love you too." Spencer smiled then kissed Desmond.

"Marry me, mo chroí."

Spencer's smile widen. "Yes." He replied with no hesitation.

Desmond laughed and rolled Spencer onto his back. He leaned down to kiss the younger man deeply. Everything in his life was now complete.

Spencer was deliriously happy. Who knew the past coming back led to the pieces finally falling into place.
