When Spencer and Aida landed in London a few days later, the time difference kicked their butts and they spent the first day in their hotel room sleeping off their jet lag. On the second day, they went out to Harrod's and he let her spend an obscene amount of money on very girly things like shoes and sunglasses. He was slightly upset when she spent $500 on just one pair of sunglasses and two pairs of shoes, but he recognized that since she was spending her own money that she had the right to do so. It was only when she needed to borrow $5 from him for a $700 purse that he objected to her spending so much but in the end, ended up giving her the five bucks.

The first half of their day on the third day was spent taking a train to Scotland and visiting Culloden Battlefield, which ended up scaring the crap out of both of them with how sick they both felt when there and the fact that they had seen something in the field that was there in a picture they had taken but hadn't been there when they were looking at the field. It was interesting, but it was enough to scare Aida into not visiting anything haunted for a couple of days.

They went to Edinburgh Castle on the fifth day, and even then things were still very eerie, and although Spencer was fine that day, Aida just was freaked out beyond all logical explanation, and she was clinging to him as though she thought she was going to be ripped away from him if she let go even just a little bit.

On the sixth and seventh days, they rented a vacation home and spent most of their time in bed together, and on the eighth day they went back to London, and they met with Emily Prentiss.

As they approached the agreed upon meeting place, Aida grew nervous; she had heard much about Agent Prentiss, all good, and she was intimidated by the image of Prentiss that had been burned into her brain. She imagined a larger than life, super-agent who was possibly more intelligent than herself, but Spencer reassured her that although Emily was intelligent, Aida was far more intelligent and that he only had eyes for her. She slumped into her seat and looked out the window as they pulled up to a beautiful, but small, park.

"Oh! I see her!" Spencer was beaming from ear to ear and Aida was twiddling her thumbs nervously. They got out of their car and Spencer dashed off, Aida on his heels, over to a woman with medium length, brown-black hair, dark eyes, and light skin. "Emily!" She turned around and beamed back.

"Spencer!" They hugged and she looked a little surprised. "When did you become a fan of hugs?" She asked, sounding slightly confused.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry-"

"No, no!" She laughed. "It's totally okay, I just was surprised." She smiled a bit.

"Ah, so… This is Aida; she's the one I told you about." He beamed when he nudged Aida a little closer to Emily.

"Wow! It's nice to finally meet you!" She shook hands with Aida. "I'm Emily Prentiss." She added.

"It's nice to meet you, too." Aida smiled shyly and looked up at Spencer. "The team talks about you a lot. They're all really fond of you." She added.

"Good to know!" She smiled back. "Wow, you're gorgeous! I see you've been shopping in Harrod's." She sighed happily. "I always thought you'd end up with an awkward nerdy girl, Spencer. But wow, she doesn't seem like any of that!"

"Thanks…" They muttered in unison.

"I-I'm just in awe; why would you marry Spencer?" She asked, not intending it to sound derogatory.

"Well… We were together when we were a lot younger, between fifteen and eighteen years old, and then my mother made me leave him, and then earlier this year, Spencer and I had to work on a case together in Hawaii, and then we discovered the unsub was my mother and after that we got back together… So, now we're married." Aida muttered, avoiding making eye contact.

"Your mother was an unsub?" Emily looked shocked.

"Her mother was a raging psychotic who absolutely despised me and anyone that threatened to derail her vision for Aida's life. I didn't fit in with the family persona, being a tall, lanky, awkward American kid, and I made Aida happy and her mother's one wish in life was to inflict misery upon her, so… She turned into a serial killer to send Aida a message, and she shot her too… Then Derek shot her, and that was that."

"Wow… I'm so sorry…" She looked like she had no idea what to make of what she had just heard.

"It's okay, I supposed. What matters is that we're back together again and we've been happy, so I guess I'm grateful for all that happening." Aida smiled a little. "I've loved him since the day I met him, and even when I was married before, all I ever thought of was him."

"You were married before?"

"Abusive husband who was an army sergeant; he died in a car accident while deployed." Aida explained really quickly.

"Well, I'm glad you're alright and that you two are back together." Emily still looked like she was having a hard time comprehending all the information she was having told to her.

"Anyways, how about we talk about other stuff?" Spencer asked, noticing Aida looked like she wasn't feeling up to talking much.

They all sat around a small table and exchanged stories about work and personal lives for a while, but eventually Aida got up and went to find a bathroom because she wasn't feeling so good.

While she was gone, Spencer and Emily chatted about how things were for him now that he was married.

"So, are you guys planning to have any kids?" Emily asked. He shrugged.

"We rarely have time to engage in the activity that would lead to conception, and as much as I love being Henry's godfather, I'm not sure I'd be that great of an actual father." He replied. "I don't know why, it's just I worry I'll push my kid away because of my hyper intelligence and the line of work I'm in would make it incredibly difficult for me to not worry about them all the time. And since Aida is on the team too, neither of us could be home with a kid at all so I don't think it would be a great choice." He explained.

"That's totally understandable, Spencer… But, doesn't she want kids?" She asked.

"Oh yeah, she wants three, but we both agreed it was impractical at this point to try to have a kid-"

"Do you think she really agrees with you, or is just letting you have your way because she doesn't want to make you upset?" She asked. "I mean, she's got an IQ higher than yours, right? The woman wants three kids with you, and she's in her early thirties; even you know that the window of opportunity is closing for her, and that it'll be over in about eight years." She added. "She knows that these next few years are her last chance, but she doesn't want to pressure you into something you don't want, even if it means she'll be upset." She sighed.

"I-I never thought of it like that… I suppose that's true, but…" He sighed. "I just don't think I'd ever be ready for a kid, let alone three of them."

"Okay, let's put it this way… What if she gets pregnant now? While you're here in the UK, what happens if she gets pregnant?" She asked, smiling a little. "What would you do?"

"I-I guess I'd… I guess I'd just… I-I don't know, Emily, I haven't really thought about it."

"Well then, let's think about it." She laughed a little. "Aida tells you she's pregnant, and you've just gotten back from here… What do you think she'd say?"

"She'd probably tell me at lunch or something or find a weird way of telling me by giving me some sort of present related to infants or something and she'd know I'd pick up on whatever it was and come to my own conclusion…"

"Good, so, if you found a present or something, what would you do?" She asked.

"Well, I'd probably just stare at whatever it was in disbelief for a long while, and then ask her if she was serious, and if she said yes then I'd probably curl up in the corner and cry." He looked like he was actually trying to imagine that happening. "I-I don't think I could handle that right now. Not so soon into being married. I mean, everything moved so fast. One second I hated her for destroying my heart, the next we were making love in her bedroom, the next I was negotiating with her mother to not hurt her, then she moved to Quantico, and then we got married, and now we're here…" He blinked and pulled himself out of the zone of doubt he had dropped himself into. "To end up having a kid nine months from now would be incredibly life changing and it would just seem too fast." He muttered.

"I know you're not really a huge fan of change, but… You're married now, and to a woman who's just as smart as you and who wants to have a family of her own; marriage is about giving and taking, and it would take a lot of giving on both your parts to have and raise a kid, but I think she'd be willing to give everything she has up just to have those kids." She sighed. "When a woman wants kids, Spencer, she'll do just about anything to-"

"I-I know, Emily! I've seen some of our unsubs do really, really crazy things to have children; now I'm worried she'll turn into one of them, so can you… C-Can you please just not mention it anymore?" He snapped. He sighed and looked away a few seconds alter. "Shit, I'm sorry, just… I-I'm just really not sure about this whole family thing, you know?"

"No, it's okay. I pushed you, I'm sorry…" She sighed and frowned, looking as though she felt terrible for pushing his buttons. "Oh, she's coming back now." She added.

Aida sat down next to Spencer and they held hands under the table, and eventually Spencer got up to take a walk and cool down all the way, and then Emily and Aida took the time to get to know each other better and also have the same conversation.

"I do want children, but Spencer doesn't seem so keen on it. He told me he was nervous about his parenting abilities; to be exact, he said I'm a great godfather to Henry and I love him, but I'm not so sure I'd be great with my own kid… You know? And that was really kind of upsetting, that he doubts himself that much. He's a great guy, and I love him, and any offspring we happen to have will love him too." She frowned a little as she explained the situation to Emily.

"I'm sorry…" She sighed. "I'm sure he'll come around, though." She said, sounding hopeful.

"Yeah…"

On the last three days of their trip, they spent the days wandering around London and some of the nearby areas, going to theatres and watching plays, and then they returned to Quantico.

Overall, both had enjoyed their honeymoon, but they were glad to be home and to go back to work.
