6 months before Reid's Mum dies

"Have fun at work Lisa!" Spencer said

"Can we tell your team about me when I get home?" Lisa asked

"I don't know Lis; all Morgan would do is tease me." Spencer said

"Fine. We will talk about it when I get home. How about that?" Lisa suggested

"Sounds good. Love you have a good last day at work." Spencer said

Lisa walked out the door and made her way to the office building downtown. She hoped on the metro and then walked a block to her office building.

Spencer went through his day, the only thing they had today was paperwork. Spencer's mind was occupied with the thought of telling the team about Lisa.

4:00pm that day

Spencer was at home preparing supper when his cell rang.

"Hello?" Spencer said

"Mr. Reid we need you to come down to the Metro Hospital, its Lisa." The man said

"On my way." Spencer said

Spencer hoped on the metro and was at the hospital in 15 minutes. He ran to the font desk told them his name and he was quickly brought to his fiancée.

"I am so sorry Mr. Reid. She died instantly as did your child. My condolences, I will give you some time with her." The doctor said

Spencer sat and cried with his dead wife for an hour before the doctors came in and took her away. Spencer had her cremated and she was kept in a special spot only he knew of.

Present

Spencer composed himself and got ready for his last class of the day before prep at which point he could go home. Fortunate for Spencer this class went by reasonably fast and he was walking home.

Once Spencer got inside he went to the mantle over the fireplace and brought down the three most important people, his Mum, unborn child and his fiancée. He put them on the living room table and just stared at them hoping that one day they would walk through the front door. Reid was taken out of his trance by a knock at the door. Spencer glanced at his watch and noticed that it was not time for Andrew to show up yet. He opened the door to reveal Garcia holding a package of cookies.

"I was wondering if we could chat?" Garcia asked

Spencer was never one to say no to Garcia so he let her in.

"Sorry I couldn't make you some cookies. The hotel we are staying in only has a microwave so I had to pick up some store bought ones." Garcia said rambling

"Its okay Garcia." Spencer said

"I just wanted to say hi first off. But what I really came here about is you. Now when you suddenly left it got me very worried even after you said not to worry. Well I am a worrier and you darn well know that. I found out about your fiancée and child but I didn't tell the rest of the team. I just want to know how you're doing in the head region." Garcia said

Reid stood up went to the living room and grabbed both urns before coming back into the dining room and setting them on the table.

"This one Is my Mums and this one is Lisa's." Spencer said

"Lisa is a beautiful name by the way it means oath of God in Hebrew." Garcia said

"She would have loved to have know that. She liked history. To be honest Garcia I don't know how I am doing in the head region at the moment. JJ sure as hell didn't help earlier." Spencer said

"I heard about that when the team got back to the police station. She took you leaving pretty hard at first." Garcia said

"I just didn't know how to tell any of you. How was I supposed to tell the team 'oh yeah by the way I had a fiancée and a child and they were hit by a drunk driver and now I suffer with debilitating nightmares anytime I close my eyes.' I don't think he would have taken it well." Spencer said

"That's understandable. He's been quite an ass since you left. He basically wants your head on a platter for leaving like that. Hotch has had a hard time trying to get it through his thick head that he can't do that and he's not going to do that." Garcia said

"I guess that's just how he operates." Spencer said

"I know you're not returning but I do miss you a lot. There were times when I wanted to send you a card or give you a call but I figured I should give you space." Garcia said

"I would have been alright. Here let me give you my address, home phone and cell. I would love for you to come down sometimes." Spencer said

"I am sure I could talk to boss man about giving me a few days off after the case." Garcia said

"That would be awesome. I have a bunch of vacation days that I need to use up." Spencer said

"Well then its set. Unfortunately, I have to get back to the police station, boss man is waiting for some information." Garcia said

"I could give you a ride." Spencer said

"Really? Thanks Spencer." Garcia said

Spencer walked Garcia to the front door and went into the closet and came out with 2 helmets.

"What are you making me bike?" Garcia asked jokingly

"No, I have a scooter. It was cheaper than a car and since I don't go far this made more sense." Spencer said

"Lead on scooter boy." Garcia said

Reid and Garcia got onto the scooter and Reid went from his driveway to the road.

"This is more fun than I thought." Garcia said

"We've only gone like 50 feet." Spencer said

"I take the metro to work everyday. I don't get out much." Garcia said laughing

"Good point." Spencer said

Within 15 minutes Spencer and Garcia arrived at the police station and Garcia was putting her helmet into the case on the scooter.
