Chapter Eleven: A Late Night Talk and A Missing Dog

As they lay in bed that night Spencer tried hard to think of something he could say to relax her. He smiled as he finally thought of something.

He turned around facing her and running his hand under her t shirt across her flat stomach. He finally spoke up barely above a whisper "Hey did you know that the name Natalie comes from a French origin meaning born on Christmas".

She smiled softly placing her hand on top of his as she turned around to face him "Yes Spencer I know you've told me that before".

He raised his eyebrows "When did I tell you that"?

"When we were about sixteen you offered to help me with a French class I was taking in high school for my foreign language credits. You told me what my name meant about three times then". She stated giggling slightly.

He smiled kissing her forehead "I forgot about that".

"I never thought I'd see the day that Dr. Spencer Reid forgot something". She stated smiling teasingly

He rolled his eyes "Hey I don't remember everything despite what you may think".

She kissed his lips softly before speaking up "I don't think you remember everything. You just remember a lot of things. A lot of weird things".

He frowned speaking up sarcastically "Oh thanks that makes me feel so much better".

"Well I don't think your weird or anything like that. You just know a lot. You've known a lot since we were twelve. So it doesn't really surprise me. I mean Morgan did tell me that you like to look up the word death. You have to admit thats a pretty bizarre hobby". She stated raising her eyebrows.

"For your information I've only done that a couple of times when I was bored. I don't do it every single night. What else did Morgan tell you?" He stated as he started to get a the feeling that he might have to kill Morgan.

He knew he shouldn't have left Morgan alone with her while he went to pick up something for dinner.

"A few things. I mean he told me that you can't use chopsticks which I already knew. He told me that you failed your gun qualifications the first time around, but Hotch passed you after you had to shoot and kill some sniper guy. He also told me something about you kissing some actress while you were on a case. I think he said her name was Lila Archer".

He felt his cheeks burn at the mention of Lila Archer. Sure it had only been a one time thing. He had considered trying to have some sort of long distance relationship with her, but in the end it had just been impossible. After all the BAU was so demanding that it was hard to keep relationships especially a long distance one.

He felt his cheeks burn even more as he began to wonder if Natalie was jealous. After all he was pretty sure that most girls didn't like to hear that their boyfriends had once kissed a pretty actress.

He spoke up swallowing the lump in his throat "Does it bother you? I mean the whole Lila Archer thing"?

She ran her hand across his chest before she tilted her head up and kissed his cheek softly "Well to be perfectly honest I'd have to say that it does make me a little jealous. Your my boyfriend so yes it is going to bother me a little to hear about any girl you've kissed before me. But besides the slight jealousy it really doesn't bother me that much. I mean we weren't a couple then, and I'm sure after we lost contact the both of us thought that we'd never see each other again. We thought that our time together would just be a great memory".

He nodded his head knowing she was right. At least she wasn't angry with him. He spoke up again trying to change the subject "Did Morgan tell you anything else"?

"Yeah one thing. He said that you were kidnapped on a case in Georgia, and that you almost died. He said that the guy was drugging you and putting it all up on the Internet.". She stated not sure if she should bring this up. Morgan had seemed to think that she already knew about it.

He frowned feeling slightly angered that Morgan would bring that up behind his back, but then again Morgan probably thought that he'd already told her about it.

He sighed managing to kiss her lips softly before he spoke up "I'm sorry I never told you. I guess I just didn't want you to worry. I mean you've already had to go through so much. It was a really traumatic part of my life. He did drug me and I was addicted for a while. Gideon's the one that found out and he helped me quit. I'm still grateful he never told anyone. I don't even think he told Hotch".

She took his hand off her stomach before lifting it up and kissing his palm "I understand why you didn't tell me. I guess if something like that happed to me then I'd have a hard time talking about it. I want you to know that you can tell me anything though. I love you and I want you to trust me".

She let go of his hand before he wrapped his arm around her managing to pull her even closer to him.

"I do trust you. I trust you with my life and I love you more than anything in the entire world. I never thought I'd be able to have you. I mean when we were kids I thought that you were so out of my league". He stated as his kissed the top of her head

She looked up at him wide eyed before speaking up "I'm the one that thought you were out of my league. I mean you were smart and cute. I didn't really get why girls our age completely ignored you".

He blushed surprised that she had made this comment "I was a freak. I couldn't even talk to girls. I mean it's a miracle I could talk to you without stuttering".

"Spencer Reid you are not a freak. Your an attractive intelligent sweet man and I'm lucky to have you". She stated frowning

He felt his cheeks burn before he leaned over kissing her once agian

She kissed him back before she started to feel her eyes getting heavy. He spoke up as he broke the kiss smiling down at her "Sleepy"?

She nodded not saying anything before she fell into a deep sleep.

He smiled grateful that she had seemed to cheer up since despite the difficult day she'd had. He kissed the top of her head again careful to not wake her up before he fell asleep as well refusing to let go of her.

Spencer woke up the next morning to music. He frowned refusing to open his eyes. He couldn't really be hearing music. This had to be a dream.

He opened his eyes prepared to ask Natalie if she heard music too. He frowned when he discovered that he was in bed alone.

He raised his eyebrows as he entered the living room. He could clearly see that Natalie and Morgan were both wide awake and standing in the kitchenette. To make it even more of a strange moment they were both singing along to some horrible pop song from the eighties that was playing loudly on the radio.

He sort of wished he had a camera right now because it was the only way he was going to prove to Garcia or anyone else that he'd seen Morgan doing this.

He somehow managed to make his way to the kitchenette before Natalie spotted him. She walked over to him kissing him softly before speaking up "Your up just in time we were about to make some chocolate chip pancakes".

He smiled slightly wishing he had a camera even more now. He kissed her lips deciding he didn't care if Morgan was watching them. "Sounds good. Is there anything I can do"?

She nodded her head pointing over to the dog food bag "Yeah you could feed Cookie. Her food bowel is outside".

He nodded his head knowing that her dog wasn't one of his favorite things especially when it barked at him, but if she told him to do it he'd do it.

He managed to get a scoop of dog food before he went out back making his way over to the bowel. He frowned when he noticed something odd.

Cookie was nowhere to be seen. She wasn't laying on the porch begging to come in. She hadn't barked at him and scared him half to death when he'd come outside, and she wasn't in her little white igloo shaped doghouse.

She was gone. Whoever was stalking Natalie had taken the dog to punish her.
