Let's get reckless, dance with our hands to the beat.

Don't let this slip through our fingers.

It feels insane, don't you put up a fight.

- Hey Monday

Nathaniel had been released from the hospital, and rejoined his bandmates on tour. He and Prentiss kept in touch daily through calls, texts, and e-mails. Since Christmas Eve, neither Natalie of Spencer had mentioned anything about the kiss. A week had gone by. It was New Year's Eve, and the team had all gotten together at a nearby bar to celebrate. JJ brought Will and Henry, and Kevin was there with Garcia.

Morgan, Emily, and Hotchner were dancing. Yes, Hotch was dancing. Everyone had already had about seven drinks, so they let loose. Rossi was at the bar with a friend of his. "Hey, we're going to go play some darts. Can you guys watch Henry for me?" JJ asked as she, Will, Garcia, and Kevin got up.

"Sure thing, JJ." Natalie took baby Henry into her arms. "Why would she bring her baby to a bar? Haha, oh well. He is so cute. I can't wait to have one of my own."

"Me either. I'm his Godfather, you know," Spencer told her.

"I didn't know. How adorable!" Natalie beamed at him. She handed Henry to Spencer and watched as he cooed over the baby. Spencer acted as though too hard of a touch would harm the baby. She smiled. "You're good with kids. You'd be a good father." Spencer smiled at her.

"Thanks. Ahem, so I was wondering. What happened at the hospital-"

"Spencer... let's not talk about it. Not tonight, anyway. Let's just enjoy ourselves." Natalie half-smiled. Spencer nodded. "I'm going to go get another drink, would you like one?"

"Sure. Gin and Tonic, please." Spencer rocked the baby back and forth lightly as he watched Natalie walk away.

"Can I get a Gin and Tonic, and... a Captain and Coke please." The bartender flew to the other end of the bar to make her drinks.

A guy who had obviously had one too many drinks stumbled up to her. "Hey, hot stuff. Wanna come home with me tonight?"

"I'll pass." Natalie turned away from him.

"Come on! I'm a... I'm a nice guy! I'm hot, right? I'm good in bed too, huh?" The guy tried.

"Look, pal. I'm an FBI Agent. I really don't want to have to pull my gun on you. Please get away from me." Natalie turned her back away from him again.

She heard the guy scoff and walk away. She noticed Rossi was a few feet away. He held up his drink to her, and she smiled in return. The bartender came back with her drinks and she retreated to the table where Spencer was still sitting alone with Henry. "So I saw that guy up there. Some random drunk guy trying to pick you up?"

"Uh huh. Took care of it, though." Natalie clapped her hands a couple of times.

"I noticed." Just then, JJ and Will came back.

"Hey guys, thanks so much. I think we're about to head out," Will said.

"Aw, no!" Natalie smiled.

"Yeah, we've got to put Henry to bed. I'll see you guys at work, though." JJ smiled before she and Will left the bar. Then, Natalie's phone rang.

"Oh, excuse me. I need to take this." Spencer waved her off, and she answered the phone. "Hey, dad."

"Natalie. How is the job going?"

"Wonderful. Almost lost Nathaniel on Christmas Eve, but I'll tell you about that when I see you," Natalie told her father.

"Alright. Just checking up on my little girl. Have you met Reid?"

"Yeah, we've actually gotten really close. He's one of my best friends."

"That's good, he's a good guy. Stick with him, Nat. And hey... watch out for him for me, okay? Keep him safe. I know you can do it. You're stronger than he can be."

"Alright."

"I love you, Natalie. I miss you a lot."

"Love and miss you too, daddy."

Natalie hung up the phone and watched Spencer sip at his drink. She stood behind him and tapped his shoulder. "Sorry about that."

"It's alright," Spencer assured her.

"So what do you think about this whole New Year's Kiss philosophy?" Natalie questioned him.

"I think it's somewhat stupid. I mean, it's said that it's bad luck to go without one when the clock strikes twelve, but I say you make your own luck. I also think it's mainly an excuse for drunk, horny people to get some action," Spencer explained.

Natalie laughed at him as the crowd started counting down. She eyed him as they reached 3. They reached number one, and as they shouted 'Happy New Year', Natalie wrapped her arms around Spencer and pulled him in for a long, hard kiss.
