I woke up to the sun in my eyes, and felt Spencer's arm around me. This time I didn't feel ashamed of what had happened, only glad that he was there.

I turned around and just looked at his beautiful face. He looked so peaceful.

I glanced at the clock and saw that it was already eight. Spencer had to be at work today! I couldn't let him be late on his first day back, and I was definitely making him go back.

I kissed his forehead gently. "Morning sleepyhead."

"Ugh, what time is it?" he muttered, running his hands through his hair.

"Eight. And you're going back to work today. I may be messed up, but you missing work isn't going to help me."

He sighed, looking at me, "If you insist."

"I do," I replied, standing up carefully, trying not to pull on my stitches. I winced at the pain, and just like that, Spencer was up.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes Spencer, I am fine. Now get ready for work," I said with a laugh.

Spencer

I grabbed my bag and changed in the bathroom, thinking about what was going to happen today.

She would like it, wouldn't she? I mean, she was going to college for it anyway.

"Okay, I'm ready. Let's go," I said as I walked out of the bathroom.

"Don't you mean that you're going to go?" Sara asked with a confused look on her face.

"Nope. Now get dressed."

"Wait, are you giving me a tour of where you work or something?"

"Or something," I replied with a smile.

Sara

Ooh a tour of the BAU! I tried to control my excitement when Spencer told me. I wanted to work there someday, so there was no way I was going to lose my cool.

I hurriedly got changed. What should one wear when going to an FBI building?

I didn't have a lot of options with all of my stitches, so I threw on some loose shorts and my only nice tank top.

I walked out of my room, hoping I looked okay.

"Is this alright?" I asked nervously.

"Perfect," he replied, giving me a quick kiss.

Spencer

I drove us to the BAU, excited for what was going to happen.

"I can't believe I get to see the BAU building! That is so amazing!" Sara said enthusiastically.

"I'm surprised you know what the BAU is. Most people only know the FBI, not the smaller branches."

"Are you serious? I've always wanted to work at the BAU. That's where I'm hoping to work after college."

"Hm… interesting," I added quietly.

"Are you profiling me? You better not be," she replied with a smirk.

"Oh, of course not," I said as we pulled up to the building.

Sara

We walked in and were greeted by Emily and Derek, who I now knew to call by their last names. That's how it worked for their team, and it was how everyone else greeted them.

"Hey sugar, good to see you," Morgan said with a wink.

"Glad you could come today," Prentiss added.

"Are you kidding? I wouldn't miss a tour of the BAU for the entire world!" I replied, suddenly aware of how childish I sounded.

Prentiss shot Spencer a look, but I didn't know what it meant. Maybe I wasn't supposed to be here? I didn't want to get him in trouble.

The two agents walked away, and I ran over to Spencer.

"Am I supposed to be here?" I whispered. "They didn't look like they liked the idea of a tour."

"Yes you are, they're just a little wound up about a case."

"Okay, if you say so."

He led me to what looked like a conference room.

"This is where the team meets."

I looked around the room, studying everything.

"Spence, this is amazing. I mean, it really is."

"I'm glad you think so. Take a seat," he replied.

"What?" I asked with confusion.

"Just do it, you'll be fine." He smiled and then motioned to Prentiss who was outside the room.

She walked in, followed by the rest of the agents.

"Hey honey, good to see you!" said Garcia as they walked in and sat down.

"Am I being interrogated?" I asked nervously, trying not to panic.

"No, nothing like that," Hotch added with a smile.

"Okay…" I responded slowly.

"Our friend Reid here told us that you were interested in working at the BAU," Rossi said kindly.

I blushed, looking at Spencer. "Well, um, yeah, I'm going to college and then I wanted to work at the FBI…"

"I, well, we, would like to offer you a different deal," Rossi continued.

"A deal? Like the ones that they give criminals?" I said jokingly.

"How would you like to have your FBI training here and then join our team?" asked Rossi.

"What? Are you serious, or are you guys all in on one big joke?" I replied, unable to believe what I had heard.

"We're serious," said Hotch.

"I'd love to! But, I'm already signed up to take classes at college. I missed the first couple of weeks though, because of what happened…" I trailed off, not wanting to remember that.

"Oh, don't worry. We already contacted the school and they'll refund all of what you paid already. That is, if you decide to take us up on our offer," Rossi said with a smile.

"Of course, you'll have to pass your training and evaluations before you can join the team, but we are all very sure that you are capable," Hotch added.

"Well, in that case, I would love to!" I replied enthusiastically.

Garcia squealed. "Another woman on the team! Girl power!"

I laughed and looked around the room at the smiling faces. Just what I had always wanted, a chance to have a family like this.

Hotch and Rossi stood up, and I did the same. They stuck out their hands and I confidently shook them, sure that I had made the right decision.

"Thank you for this chance. You won't regret it!" I said eagerly.

"We know," Hotch laughed.

Spencer

I finished giving Sara a tour of the building, and I couldn't help but think about the future.

"Thank you Spence," she said as we left.

"For what?"

"You know, the whole pulling of the strings and getting me in. I wouldn't be here without you."

"Maybe not right now, but you would have gotten here on your own someway." I replied, holding her hand gently.

She laughed and I looked at her beautiful smile. Things were as they should be.

"I can't wait until my stitches are out! Then I can start training," she said enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, it'll be soon."

"What if I don't make it through training though? What if I don't belong at the BAU?" she asked, looking at me nervously.

"You'll make it, and you definitely belong. They wouldn't have given this opportunity to you if you didn't."
