It was twelve in the afternoon when the doorbell rang.

Spencer was home alone, JJ had gone to work and although he was expecting guests, they weren't due until half past one.

It had been a week after JJ had proposed that they leave the BAU. Emily had resigned and explained everything that was happening. She and Mark had decided to give things a go again and she was adamant about leaving the BAU anyway. Spencer knew it was inevitable - they had spoken about this before, Emily had wanted to leave earlier but things between her and Mark were strained. She finally decided to use this as a sign.

Then there was Penelope Garcia. After learning of Emily's forced resignment, she too had got her two weeks notice after quitting. She was going to teach IT to students in a university locally. It allowed her to spend more time with her gorgeous children, Esme, Vernon and Jasper. Jasper came from Vietnam and he had known little English until he met the colourful and vibrant Penelope Garcia. He still struggled with English and was shy when it came to people other than his new siblings and mother but the team had quickly enabled him to adjust to life, especially Alvez with Roxy.

The doorbell rang again and Spencer snapped out of his thoughts. When he answered it, he was shocked.

"Ramona!"

Ramona smiled, her blue eyes twinkling. "I'm so sorry to turn up unannounced. Uh, your dad - our dad - he gave me your address. Said you'll be home."

Spencer stood aside. "Come in," he said with a warm smile. "Do you want a drink or water or tea?"

Ramona turned to him, her blonde hair flying about due to the sharp action. "Oh, just water."

He led her to the kitchen where she sat at the breakfast table and watched as he got some filtered water from the fridge and two glasses. "How have you been? How come you're in town?"

She chuckled, taking a sip from her glass as soon as he poured it. "I have a pharmaceutical's rep gig in the area. I've just landed and tomorrow, I'll give the presentation before going back home at night."

"Ah, so you are a genius," Spencer said.

Ramona laughed. "Oh, God no! When Johnny and I returned to Vegas, I actually took up jobs waitressing at restaurants and bars. Johnny was employed at the local college. It was until four years ago, one of my best friends Tara introduced me to her boss. She's a pharmacist and works to make medicines. I take them and sell them to hospitals and pharmacies across America. Tara saved my life. If it wasn't for her, I'll be a failed singer and a failed mother."

"A failed singer?"

She giggled. "I had stupid dreams of being a singer. Everyone says I have a great voice but it's hard to make it, you know? I'm no Pink or Beyoncé."

"Who?"

Ramona's eyes widened. "You better be joking," she told him

"I listen to classical music mostly. But I do dabble in a little rock."

She blinked. "Wow."

"I can also play the piano and electric guitar. I can actually play any instrument in the world if I put my mind to it."

Her mouth opened. "Wow."

Spencer blushed, sipping his water. "Uh, so you became a pharmaceuticals rep?"

Closing her mouth, she nodded, still dumbfounded. "Yeah, I love it. I thought it would be a pain in the ass but Johnny and I can actually pay for holidays for the kids and extra."

"That's good."

There was a moment of silence between them and Ramona's eyes found a picture of Spencer and JJ on their wedding day. A smile rose on her face as she stood up to look at it closer.

"You looked so handsome." Ramona smiled. "And your wife... She's flawless." She turned to face him. "I bet she's such a soccer mom."

Spencer laughed. "The ultimate one. She's supermom too."

They fell into a comfortable discussion about each other's friends and families. Spencer thought that he could finally see himself bringing the kids to come and see their Aunt Ramona and their cousins. His children finally had biological cousins.

The doorbell rang again and Spencer excused himself to answer it. "Derek, Savannah," he greeted them with hugs as they stepped inside. "Where's baby Hank?"

"I told you his godfather would be wondering where he is," Derek told Savannah who playfully rolled her eyes.

"He's at my sister's. She and her husband are expecting and we gave them Hank for practice." Savannah chuckled.

He led them into the kitchen when they saw Ramona sipping on her glass of water.

"Ramona, this is my best friend Derek Morgan and his partner, Savannah. Their son is my godson." He turned to his friends. "This is my biological full sister, Ramona Sivertson."

Derek took a sharp intake of breath. "You sure do look alike," he smiled. "Wow. When, how?"

"I'll explain it to everyone soon. We're just getting to know each other. It's been thirty-four long years."

Ramona blushed, a smile gracing her lips. "Spencer's told me all about you. His 'big brother'. Almost makes me jealous," she joked. "But I'm glad my brother had someone to lean on for a sibling support."

She shook Derek's hand before Savannah pulled her in for a hug. "I'm so happy you guys found each other!"

Spencer met his sister's gaze with a bright smile. "Same here."

Soon the four were seated in the living room, Spencer telling them of his and JJ's plans after they'd resign.

"I'm already teaching at universities. Why not make it permanent?"

Savannah agreed. "You can even teach at the one Penny's at. That reminds me, we need to buy something for our godchildren's birthday. Esme and Jasper miraculously have the same birthday."

"I'm happy Garcia left the BAU as well. I'm also happy that we'll still see her but Emily says she's living in the UK for a long time. She'll only return for holidays."

"I can't believe that Barnes is picking our team apart. The BAU is the most successful unit of the FBI, is she serious is dismantling it?" Derek asked bitterly. "Alvez is leaving too. Trying to get something closer to Garcia. What's JJ going to do?"

Spencer shrugged. "She still doesn't know. At this point, I think she's staying until the BAU is completely deemed disbanded."

"She can join me in my property development business. Sav and I have just invested in our sixth house. This one we're flipping to make a holiday let."

"I think she'll like that. A bit of DIY. But I think JJ will probably join the CIA or another division of the FBI."

Spencer turned to his sister and gave her a smile. "Dad called earlier. Asks if we can head over to his this evening for dinner. Jasmine's family will be there and one of them is our good friend's husband. He's our step-cousin."

"Oh, yeah. I can't wait to get to know Jasmine better. She's really lovely and kind when I met her properly earlier on."

"And before you leave tomorrow, you can join mine and JJ's friends for lunch or dinner."

Ramona smiled brightly. "Dinner. The meeting is at lunchtime."

"Then it's official. I'm introducing my sister to my friends."
