Author's note: Everyone has found out about Reid & Megen. This chapter will be mostly the team discussing the relationship. (I love the show fanatically & enjoy watching the show! Spencer Reid makes the show & I love the relationship he has with the team. Oh, since I haven't said it before, I'll say it now. This takes place about a year after Emily had returned to the team)
Ch. 10 talk
Prentiss & Morgan walked in to work one morning to notice that Dr. Spencer Reid was NOT at his desk. "That's weird" Morgan says. "Well, he does have a girlfriend now" Prentiss says walking over to her desk. Morgan grins "Pretty boy is probably gettin some lovin'" he says. Prentiss give him a look. "Why does eveything with a girl involve 'gettin some lovin'? Prentiss asks in a disgusted tone. Morgan laughs as JJ walks up to them. "What are you guys talking about?" she asks curiously. "Reid" the two other agents say in unison. JJ gives the ma look. "What about him?" she says. "He got himself a girlfriend" Morgan says grinning. JJ arches a brow. "Yeh, Megen" she says with a shrug. "You know?" Prentiss exclaims. JJ nods. "Yeh, i knew. He told me when he was going to Greece for his vacation" she says nonchalanty. "Really? He told you & not me?" Morgan says frowning. Both women scoff. "Morgan, you know Reid is about his personal life. And besides, i don't blame him for not telling you" Prentiss says. JJ nods in agreement. Morgan shakes his head & walks away.
"So, how long have they been together do you think?" JJ asks Prentiss queitly. Prentiss looks at her. "I'm not sure, thought you'd know" she tells JJ who shakes her head. "I knew he really liked her when this whole 'Michael' thing started though" Prentiss tells JJ. "I wonder how long this has been going on?" JJ says thoughfully, aloud. "How long what has been going on?" Reid says walking up behind her causing her to jump in surprise. He smiles at her as he sets his coffee & bag down. JJ looks at him. "Um, how long Megen & you have been together." she says quietly. Reid looks at her losing his smile. "Really, of all the things to talk about, you have to talk about my personal life?" he says irratibly as he sits down. "This why, i didn't want anyone to know." he grumbles. The two females looks at each other then at Reid. "Spence, I'm sorry-" JJ says softly. "Me too" Prentiss pipes in. Reid pursues his lips then JJ puts a hand on his shoulder. "Spence, I remember trying to hide my relationship with Will from you guys, I know how hard it is" she tells him. He looks up at her. "I know, JJ but this is different, I work with Megen sometimes. You didn't do that with Will" he says. Prentiss' & JJ's faces softened. "Now that everyone knows, if I even look at Megen while working or we work alone, Morgan will harass me about it." he says glumly. "Plus, I didn't want Morgan to harass her either." he says then grins humourlessly. "Kid, you honestly think that I would do that?" Morgan asks sounding hurt as he walks up to them. Reid looks at him. "Yeh, I do. For years you always told me I need to get 'some lovin' or to get a girl knownig how awkward i am around girls. Now, that you know I have a girlfriend who by the way, after I told her you guys knew, she didn't care that you knew because after the 'Micheal' case, you knew pretty much her whole life & it isn't secret anymore. and, oh yeh she says don't care if you tease her or not cause she can handle you." he scoffs. "Reid, I would never cross the line with your girl you know that" Morgan says slowly. Reid gives him a look.
"He's right, Spence" Megen says behind them. Everyone turns & Reid jumps out of his seat. "Megen! What are you doing here?" he asks. "I'm dropping some stuff off for Dave" she says then gives him a look. "We''ll talk about this later" she says then head for the stairs leading to Rossi's office. Reid looks over at Morgan who says "Reid, how can you think that? I thought we cleared the air on this? " he says then walks away. Reid just stands there for a moment then colapses in to his chair.
Megen walks into Morgans office a few minutes later, after knocking on his open door. Morgan looks up from trying to do some paperwork. "You do know Spence, is a bit protective of me? she says. "A bit like how you are with him" she tells him. Morgan gives her a look and says " Yeh, i guess i am". "We both went through some pretty bad stuff but, he has you & the others to be there for him. All I have is Dave & him." she tells him. "Agent Morgan, i know you would never cross the line with me about anything but think about this, if you were in his shoes & finally got a girlfriend after years of being the guy who couldn't even talk to girl without being teased about it by everyone. Spence knows you are like a 'big brother' to him but this is a whole new thing for him" she says. Morgan grins. "No wonder Reid fell for you" he tells her. "You're alot like him you know? " Megen smiles. "Dave told me the same thing a while back" she says. Just then, Reid walks up beside her. "Hey" he says to her then looks at Morgan. "Can I talk to you?" he asks. Morgan nods. Reids glances over at Megen "I'll see you later?" he says. Megen nods & Morgan sees the way Reid touches her lower back as he walks past her.
