Chapter Twenty-One-On the road again

"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves."~Albert Einstein

It was the next day and Spencer and Lila were on their way to their new home to finish signing paperwork. It was around nine o'clock that morning and Hotch had agreed to let Derek come in a little late, since the newlyweds were purchasing the house from him. And speaking of purchases, the Reids were cruising around in their latest one.

After Lila's doctor's appointment, they went to a car dealership so she could purchase a car. Although she had always leased vehicles, Lila wanted to purchase one this time. Spencer said it was because for the first time in her life she felt truly at home and she was in nesting mode, wanting to put down roots. As it happened, Lila and Spencer both ended up with roots, in the form of SUVs.

The owner of the dealership was a huge fan of Lila's, namely her barely clad Maxim pictorial, so he gave the newlyweds SUVs on the house. Lila's only stipulation to Spencer for accepting his was that he had to keep his Volvo, since she loved it and didn't want him parting with something he so obviously treasured. Spencer thought having three cars was a tad excessive, but he acqueisced to his wife's wishes.

Lila had wanted to take Spencer's volvo to their new home, but Spencer wanted to use one of their new SUVs. Since Spencer had been so co-operative, Lila decided to return the favor. Their SUVs were identical, both black and both ladden with all of the perks, including three rows of seating. Lila looked at the rows of seating with sparkling eyes before looking back at her amazing husband, whose gaze was on the road.

"One down, five to go," she said.

"Hmm, excuse me?" Spencer said, looking over at his wife. His focus had been so intent on the road, he hadn't noticed his wife speaking.

"I said one down, five to go," Lila said, giggling at her absentminded husband. He gave her a puzzled look, so she clarified.

"One of those seats is spoken for," she said, gesturing towards her belly. "so we only have five more to go until we have a full car."

Spencer's eyes widened and Lila couldn't tell if he was genuinely horrified or just joking. Either way she laughed, enjoying making her husband squirm.

"Six...that's six..." Spencer repeated, as if unable to imagine such a number.

"Six little Spencers: doesn't that sound amazing?" Lila asked.

"It would be even more amazing if you threw little Lilas into the mix as well," Spencer replied, giving his crazy wife a smile.

"Well then, Spence, I will make you a deal. We have fill your SUV with little Lilas if we can fill mine with Little Spencers."

"What about the Volvo?"

"We can use that to hide in when the children get on our nerves."

Spencer laughed and wrapped his arm around her. Lila giggled as well before speaking again.

"Now the only question is, what would we name our zodiac sized family?" she asked.

"Well, let's see..." Spencer said, removing his arm from her shoulders she he could hold her hand. He played with her fingers, considering his options.

"There's Lila..." he started, giving her thumb a slight jiggle. "Lily...Lilith...Lilia...Lil...Lilo..." As he spoke, he wiggled each one of her fingers.

"Lilo? You would seriously consider naming our baby after an animated Disney character?" she asked, raising her eyebrows at him.

"Well, show me what you've got," Spencer countered, enjoying their banter.

"Hmm...well...there's Spencer, Spence...Spen..." Her brows furrowed together as she pursed her lips together. Spencer's name didn't have as many variations as hers.

"You are stumped after only three?" Spencer asked, laughing bursting from his lips. "how do you expect to have a car full of sons if you cannot name them?"

"Your name doesn't have as many variations as mine!" Lila countered.

"Does that mean you're conceding defeat? Am I king of the baby names?"

"Hey now, I may be momentarily stumped, but if there's one I never do it's concede!"

Spencer laughed and Lila spoke again. "There's Asimov, Mov, Simov..."

"I thought of six names and never had to resort to your middle name," Spencer said, smug in his own brilliance.

"Well, not all of us have IQs of 187."

"That's true, but you have breasts and I don't so you have trumped me."

Lila burst out laughing, her face bright red at her husband's statement. The hillarity continued as Spencer rubbed his flat chest. "If I had a pair even half as magnificent as yours, I really wouldn't have much use for you..."

"Spencer Asimov Reid! I'm telling your mom!" Lila exclaimed, her face beat red as she slapped her husband's arm.

"Oh no, anything but that!" Spencer said, feigning fear.

Spencer and Lila both laughed and it was at that moment they arrived at their new home. Morgan's vehicle was already in the driveway, so Spencer pulled up next to it. He put the car in park and climbed out. He walked over to Lila's side and opened the door for her. He offered her his hand and she accepted. Spencer shut her door and they walked up to the house, their fingers linked.
