True love stories never have endings.-Richard Bach


Amber made her way back to the waiting room, the group was gone, except for Prentiss and Morgan. Amber walked over to them and neither of them were looking at her.

Amber raised an eyebrow at them. "Uh...what's wrong guys?"

Agent Morgan shifted in his seat and looked at Amber. "We felt...what's the word...guilty, because a few months ago, Spencer would always be excited to see this girl he had met. And then all of sudden he stopped talking about her. We figured the two didn't hit it off, but just now we realized that you where that girl."

"I'm sorry," Amber said shaking her head, "I'm confused, why do you guys feel guilty?"

The agent sighed,trying to put off telling her."Because, we kind of made fun of him for it behind his back, saying he probably scared the girl, you, off." Morgan said. "he can be a bit annoying sometimes," the agent admitted.

Amber laughed, "I kept asking him when he was going to tell you guys, I thought he was embarrassed by me," Amber plopped down in a seat across from Morgan. "Because I'm not as brilliant as any of you."

Morgan laughed as he shook his head, "Amber, from what he's told me, you're pretty great."

"He's been talking about me?"

Morgan nodded. "Last night when I went in there to see him, you where all he talked about, I was just happy he was not rambling about some statistic or fact," the agent said with a bored eye roll.

Prentiss' mouth was open wide then said, "Yeah, that never happens." she said with a laugh.

"I'm just glad he didn't scare her off," Amber heard from behind her, it was Garcia, walking over to them, with two coffee holders with four coffees in each. "they are the cutest couple ever." she said.

Amber blushed. "Thanks," she said as Garcia handed her a coffee. Amber realized she had gotten one too many coffees. "what's with the extra coffee?"

"It's for that cute intern," she said as everyone grabbed their coffee, leaving the last one for Garcia's plan. Garcia took the coffee out of the holder and walked over to the intern. She started flirting with him, but she pointed at Prentiss at one point and moments later came back with his number.

She handed the number to Prentiss, her mouth gaped. "Why are you giving this to me?" she asked.
"Because, it is for you, I'm pretty sure you are the last one in the group to be single."

Morgan raised his eyebrows, trying not to look at the other agent, and was also trying not to laugh. Prentiss still hand her mouth open, "But...Morgan..."

Garcia raised a finger at her, "He...is a totally different story of chocolatey goodness, he can't have a relationship, he's too busy fighting off all the honey's."

Amber and Morgan looked at each other and busted out laughing from Garcia saying 'honey's'. "She has a point Em," Morgan said, as he sat back in his chair and took a sip of coffee. Prentiss sighed as she tucked the number in her pocket, admitting defeat.


Spencer had finally gotten the okay to leave the hospital, he couldn't wait to head back home. He was missing his apartment, his bed and seeing Amber in his bed. Amber was helping him pack up as he changed into his clothes and out of the backless gown. The gown that made Amber giggle since he had forgotten it was backless. Earlier,when he had gotten up to go to the bathroom change,he had heard her say how cute is butt was, and it made his face as bright and as red as a tomato.

"Spence, you almost done?" He heard Amber say from the other side of the bathroom door.

"Almost," he said back. He went to put on his shirt and moaned in pain.
"Are you okay?" she asked.

Spencer pursed his lips, "Yeah, just my arm...I'm having trouble getting my shirt on."

It was silent for a moment, then Amber said, "Do...do you need any help?"

Spencer hesitated for a second, "I...umm..yeah."

Amber slowly opened the door, ducked inside and shut the door behind her. She was thankful the bathroom was rather quite big. Or it would have been slightly more awkward. She looked the young man up and down. He was so small, so fralie. He was very thin and tall, Amber realized, she was always attracted to that type of guy. But thankfully this guy was different, he wasn't just some guy, he was a man. A man, not just from his looks, that were a bit boyish and charming, but how he used his brain and intelligence, that was what made him a man.

"At least you got your pants on," she said with a smirk.

Spencer narrowed his eyes at her, "Yeah, thankfully I wasn't shot in the leg." he joked back.

"Oh, so now you're cracking jokes," Amber said as she helped him get his left arm into his sleeve.

"Spencer?" they heard from the other side of the door, they looked at each other with wide eyes. It was Hotchner.

"Umm...yes?" Spencer said back, as coolly as he could.

"Is...is Amber in there with you?" he asked.

"No, Why?" Spencer lied.

"I can see two shadows under the door," Spencer could hear the smirk in Hotchner's voice.

"Nope, just me." he said then bit his lip as he had to put his shoulder back to get his arm in his shirt, "why on earth did you pick this shirt," he whispered at Amber.

"Because, I thought it would be fun to get your arm into the sleeve." Amber whispered back sarcastically, as she pulled his arm through the sleeve. Spencer let out a loud cry and started panting. He was actually sweating, just from trying to get the damn thing on himself.

"Pain killers wore off," Spencer said in a hushed tone to Amber, as he put pressure to his shoulder.

Amber rolled her eyes, "You don't need anymore."

"If I don't need anymore, than why am I in so much pain?"

"If no one is in there, then who are you talking to?"

Spencer quickly slipped his mismatching socks and his shoes on. He grabbed the gown that had been tossed on the floor and opened the door. "I was just helping him put his shirt on," Amber said as she walked through the door out into the room. Everyone was standing in the room, waiting for them.

"Sure you where," Garcia said with a wink. Spencer rolled his eyes.

"We haven't even...done that yet." Amber whispered, but the rest of the team still heard her.

Spencer's palm went flying to his forehead. He shook it off and turned off the bathroom light. He put the gown on the bed and grabbed his messenger bag. "They didn't really need to know that Am," Spencer said.

"I know, but you think they would know we haven't. I mean we just became an actual couple this morning." Amber defended.

"Yeah, but most people have sex beforehand." Morgan said.

"Well, we aren't most people," Spencer stated, a little annoyed about the conversation.

"That is so true sweetie," Garcia said in a somewhat sympathetic tone.

The group piled out of the room and headed towards the elevators, glad to be finally heading home.


The ride home on the jet was nice and quiet. Morgan had his headphones on, J.J was reading some magazine, Prentiss was trying to sleep, Rossi was reading a book and Hotch was watching Reid. Rossi looked up at Hotch, leaned over the table and said, " Hotch, you can't keep protecting him."

Hotchner slowly took his eyes off the young agent and his girlfriend that were on the couch. "I know,"

"I think she's perfect for him, he won't be so focused on work." he said trying to reassure Hotch.

"I'm still deciding if that will be good or bad." Hotch said looking at Rossi.

Rossi set his book face down to hold his place. "He won't let the relationship interfere with work,"

Hotch sighed. "I kind of hope he does."

Rossi nodded slowly, "Because you don't want what happened to...to you and Haley happen to him."

"Yeah..." Hotchner said trailing off. "this job sucks everything out of us. It takes up our personal life, our free time, and our sanity."

"Well, they have been living together for about three months now, she doesn't seem to mind his long hours...or him being gone for days." Rossi said.

"I know, but soon she will get disappointed. Once they start going out on dates, making plans to do things and between their schedules, they will never see each other."

Morgan took off his headphones, he was sitting next to Rossi and had pretty much heard their whole conversation. " If she really loves Reid, she won't care." The three of them looked at the couple, Spencer had his arm around her shoulder, Amber's legs were crossed and she was reading a book. Spencer was reading it over her shoulder, he was whispering in her ear, and Amber was quietly giggling. The three men smiled at the site of their youngest agent. They turned back to each other and Morgan said, "I don't think I've seen him that happy before."

"I just don't want him getting hurt," Hotch said.

"I don't either, but do you want him to be lonely and miserable, or happy and confident?" Morgan said.

Hotchner sighed. "I know, I just want him to be careful."

"You don't trust Amber?"

Hotch shook his head,"It's not that, I just want him to realize...this might not last forever."

"I think he knows that, he's a smart kid," Rossi said with a smirk.

"Not when it comes to girls," Morgan snorted.

"True," Rossi laughed.

"It could last forever, you never know, she'd be stupid to leave him for anything." Morgan said. "I mean, they haven't even...had sex yet," Morgan slightly didn't want to think about how awkward that will be for both of them. " she must have some patients."

"Garcia told me that that's one of the reasons she likes him. We've seen some of these guys that can't keep it in their pants." Rossi said in disgust.

Morgan laughed at Rossi. "He's right, Reid respects women and Amber respects him for that."

Hotch sighed, they both had good points. He came to the conclusion that right now since Reid wasn't worried about it, he wouldn't be either.


Morgan had dropped off Amber and Spencer at their apartment. They waved to him, he waved back and took off. Spencer walked to the door and held it open for Amber. She thanked him and walked inside. They headed up to the second floor, reached their apartment door and Spencer unlocked it. He opened the door and let Amber in first. Amber headed in, set her bag down and turned to Spencer. She watched him shut the door, lock it and turn around to face her. Spencer set down his bag,then he swiftly leap over to her wrapped his arms around her, he wrapped them tighter, and realized he didn't ever want to let go of her.

"Spencer, your kind of crushing me..." Amber said, trying breathe.

Spencer unwrapped his arms and stepped back from her. "Sorry," he blushed.

Amber stepped closer to him and stroked his cheek. "You are such a sweetheart, you know that?"

Spencer looked at her in confusion, "Is that good?" Amber nodded. "Oh, well good then." he said flashing her a smile. Amber wrapped her arms around his waist, she was so short compared to him, the top of her head barely touched the bottom of his lip. Amber couldn't help but smile, she had been so lucky. Lucky that this brilliant, sweet, kind man had loved her back.

"Come on, let's go get some dinner," Amber said as she pulled away from Spencer.

Spencer nodded, "Alright, just no Chinese," he said as he grabbed his keys and wallet from the table he had next to the door.

Amber looked intrigued. "Why not?"

Spencer shrugged, "Because, I can't use chopsticks."

Amber laughed at him, "You have a PHD in Engineering and you can't use chopsticks?"

Spencer glared at her as he opened the front door, "Can you?"

Amber went silent for a moment then said, "Alright no Chinese." As she walked out of the apartment.

She watched Spencer shut the door behind him and lock it. The two headed down the stairs and walked out of the building. They decided to walk a few blocks to a restaurant nearby and have dinner there.

They were both famished and Amber wanted to talk to Spence without people interrupting them. Amber had her arm interlaced with Spencer's as they walked.

"Hey," Amber said.

"Yeah?" Spencer asked.

"I love you,you know that right?" she said, her head still facing forward. Her grip on his arm tightened and she held back tears. She hated this feeling, of loving for someone and caring about them. It felt...unfamiliar. She never really had anyone love her. Sure, her parents loved her, even though they practically made everything worse for her by them being so overprotective. It took everything she had to get out of the small town in Ohio to move. Her parents ended up moving to Texas. Her brother, sister-in-law and two nephews lived down there. She wanted to get away from her parents, always protecting her. Her parents never really raised her, her grandmother did, but then when she was ten her grandmother died of lung cancer. And ever since then, Amber realized she was missing something, she just didn't know what. Any other time when she tried to form a relationship, she always pushed the guy away, she couldn't trust anyone because she knew if she let someone in, she would wind up getting hurt. Every time something good happened to her, it always got taken away. But once she moved to D.C, she realized she would be able to start over. She promised she wouldn't run from the first guy that showed any interest in her, and that guy was Spencer. She was happy it was him, he was hard to run from.

Amber peered over at Spencer, his smile was warm. He said, "I know, I love you too." He looked over at the girl and smiled down at her. Amber smiled back, she hoped that the man had loved her as much as she loved him.

"I was thinking," Amber started. Spencer wasn't sure what was coming next, but he knew he probably would not like it. "I want you to meet my parents."

A/N- I promise this will get more exciting! I'm not too sure about this chapter...I feel like I mostly talked about Amber...I looked over it so many times but there are probably some mistakes(I hope there aren't!)...anyways... Thanks for taking the time to read and review! Also, thanks for the follows and faves! I was thinking of making another story with Amber in it. It would not be a sequel. It would be a completely different story, just with her in it.
