A/N: This might as well be the end. Hope you enjoy. Read/Review


Two months after Payton's birthday was Derek's. Spencer had been planning a surprise after he got his memory back. But there was something he knew would top it all off. He only found out a week before his plan so it was perfect. Except that he was still afraid the timing was horrible. Maybe it would turn out in a good natured surprise. If not he wouldn't know what to do.

He was cleaning the house and watched as Payton wobbled behind him trying to catch her daddy. He laughed at her attempts to grab him from behind. He couldn't have asked for a better family. She pouted at him and started to fuss. He rolled his eyes and picked her up kissing her on the cheek.

"Be good today. Daddy has to fix everything for Papa's special night okay?" Spencer cooed.

"No," she pouted.

Yes, Payton was at that stage where she already knew her name and the significance of the infamous word no.

"Please? Today you get to be with Papa and me," Spencer smiled.

She looked up at him with her big hazel eyes.

"Aunt JJ and Garcia will take care of you in the night with the boys," Spencer continued.

Her soft gaze turned to surprise.

"Don't worry we'll pick you up if things go smoothly," Spencer laughed.

Despite the fact that Payton was only one year old she was smart enough to know what others talked about. The genius came from her daddy of course.

"Will you do me a favor and be good?"

"Dada," she smiled.

"Thank you princess," Spencer hugged her.

"Knock knock where are my two favorite people in the world?" Derek's voice floated in.

"Let me get lunch ready," he put the little girl down and she started to run towards the main entrance.

Derek picked her up and swung her around. She giggled and laughed. She was just so adorable. Her soft wavy hair was more defined with chestnut curls pulled into ponytails. Her caramel skin seemed a bit lighter giving her a flawless look. She was wearing a pretty white dress with pink flower prints. Her little shoes were surprisingly clean and still shinning white.

"There's my precious little girl," Derek nuzzled his nose on her neck.

"Papa," she giggled.

"Where's daddy?" Derek asked.

She looked at him with questioning eyes.

"Pretty boy?" Derek called.

"Kitchen," Spencer replied.

"You tricked me baby girl," Derek chuckled.

She smiled and begged to be let down. He complied and watched her run to the Kitchen where Spencer was preparing their meal.

"Hey pretty boy," Derek entered following Payton.

"Hi there," Spencer smiled sheepishly.

"What's all this?" Derek asked curiously.

"Don't tell me you forgot your own birthday," Spencer rolled his eyes.

"I just wasn't expecting anything," Derek shrugged with a grin.

"Well last year we had a newborn in the house and well she's a bit older now so I decided we should celebrate your birthday," Spencer replied.

"Thank you baby," Derek kissed him passionately.

"Maybe later," Spencer pulled back.

"Something wrong?"

"Nothing just a bit busy as you can see," Spencer lied.

"If you say so," Derek ignored it.

A few more hours later and they had eaten a wonderful meal prepared by yours truly Spencer. They laughed and discussed various things. Occasionally getting distracted from Payton helped them think less of work. Spencer started to get even more nervous. There was a long thin box that fit perfectly in his pocket. He jumped a bit when the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it," Derek smiled.

He got up and walked to the door. Behind it revealed a very happy blond tech analysis. She squished him and kissed him on the cheek leaving a bright pink lip print. He chuckled and ushered her in the house. Payton started to squeal when she saw Garcia and ran towards her. Spencer got up and smiled politely.

"Can I kidnap her now?" Garcia asked.

"Yes but we want her back we'll pick her up," Spencer said.

"No need just call when you want her back. I'll try not to lose her," she joked.

"Alright thanks baby girl," Derek grinned.

"Anytime my chocolate Adonis and happy birthday!" she congratulated.

"See you later," Derek and Spencer waved as she pulled out of the drive way in Esther with a very pleased Payton.

"So what do we do now?" Derek asked with a mischievous smile.

"…Let's cuddle on the couch," Spencer suggested.

They made their way and in minutes were cuddling and snuggling into each other.

"Today was amazing," Derek whispered in his husband's ear.

"It was all for you. You're so wonderful and amazing I just couldn't help myself," Spencer sighed contently.

"I love you and I want to show you how much," Derek said while switching positions.

He was now on top of Spencer ready to straddle the younger man. Spencer stopped him quickly and got up from the couch. Derek was getting more concerned. First he pulled away from a kiss and now he was being rejected. He knew something was wrong.

"Spencer what's going on?" he asked sternly.

"Let's open presents first," Spencer avoided while handing him a few small gifts from the team.

"Spencer-"

"And this one is from me," he pulled out the box from his pocket and handed it to Derek.

"I don't want any presents, Spencer; I want you to tell me what's going on? All day you have been acting strange and tonight you're rejecting me…did I do something to upset you?" Derek asked.

"No…just…open the box…it'll….it'll explain the situation," Spencer stammered.

Derek reluctantly picked up the box. He tore it open and set it down on the coffee table. Gently and slowly he opened it. What he found inside was not something he had expected. He had expected a watch or something of that sort since the box was the perfect size for it. But he didn't expect what he saw. His eyes grew wide and went straight to Spencer's.
