"...Well, I'm about to start a new story, or continue an old one, that is, when I realize that I haven't updated this recently. Sorry! R&R?..."

10 Moments Left-Chapter 7

All I Want

Reid had told Abby that their teams were meeting up for dinner at a local restaurant. He reassured her that they didn't have anything special planned. It was just going to be a nice night out with friends.

"Alright, I guess we can go." Abby sighed. In truth, she didn't want to go out, but if Reid wanted to, she would pretend to be okay with it.

When they got to the restaurant, the young couple was met by the smiling faces of the co-workers who offered welcomes and hugs.

"Hey Reid, nice to see you again." Zivya smiled. She had a feeling that there was more to the surprise night out than Reid and Gibbs were willing to tell her. She shrugged it off though. If they wanted her to know what they were planning, they would have told her.

'"Hi Zivya." Reid responded shyly, extending his hand for her to shake.

"Shall we join the group now?" she asked.

"Of course." With that, Reid escorted her back to the table where his girlfriend mingled with a small group that consisted of a mixture of his team and her own team.

As soon as Reid made an appearance next to Abby's side, Gibbs gave Reid a sideways smile. He was the only person in the room that knew Reid was planning on proposing, and knowing that fact made Gibbs happy. Abby deserved to be happy, and he knew that Reid would do anything to make her happy.

"So, how have you been?" Gibbs asked.

"Good." Reid answered with a knowing smile.

"Well, that's...good." With that, Gibbs clamped Reid on the shoulder and led him away from the rest of the group.

"I figured it would be easier to keep it a surprise if you didn't have to be around a group of people who had no idea that there's going to be a surprise tonight." Gibbs explained.

"Thanks; I don't know if I could have kept it in with all of them around me." Reid said with a nervous laugh.

"So, when do you plan on telling them?" Gibbs asked.

"How about now?" Reid asked.

"There is no better place to live than in the moment." Gibbs smiled back. "Come on, let's get you jump started."

Reid walked over to Abby and put his hands around her waist. She smiled up at him, glad to have him closer to him.

Gibbs made his rounds, gathering everyone up with the cover 'the food's almost done.'

"Hey Abby, could I talk to you for a second?" Reid asked. Abby nodded and let Reid lead her over to the side.

"You know I love you, right?"

"Of course."

"You know that I'd do anything to make you happy?"

"Right..."

"Abby, I want to be with you- forever. I can't picture myself with anyone other than you, and I am almost positive you feel that same way."

"Spencer, what is this about?"

Then, he dropped down one knee and pulled a box out of his pocket.

"Abby, will you marry me?"

Abby gasped when she saw the ring. It was unique, but beautiful, just like Reid always said to her.

"Of course!" she squealed as Reid put the ring on her finger. He kissed her and hugged her close to him. Around them, their friends cheered and clapped, happy to see them finally 'tie the knot'.

"Well, it's about damn time." Morgan smiled.

"Tell me about it." Prentiss replied, smiling all the while.

For the remainder of the night, Abby and Reid were congratulated by friends and peers as they held hands and stole kisses from each other...

Neither one of them though they could be happier.

"...Sorry its so short,but Thnx for reading; R&R?.."
