All mistakes are my own

They sat in the backyard on the deck. Penny sat on Reid's lap and laughed at her father as he stuck his tongue out. Luna had brought out lemonade for everyone and was ready to listen. He knew what he had to say wouldn't be suitable for Penny to hear. "Luna, Penny can't hear this," Reid said.

"I'll keep her busy," Garcia offered.

Luna looked at Garcia, unsure if she could trust her. Reid spoke up. "Luna, this is Penelope Garcia. She's who I named our daughter after. I trust her with my life and I trust her to play with little Penny."

Luna nodded and smiled. "All her garden toys are at the bottom in the little box."

Garcia stepped next to Reid.

Reid looked to his daughter. "Hey, momma and me need to talk. You wanna play with your aunty Pen."

Penny looked at Garcia and giggled before holding her arms out. Garcia grinned and brought the little girl into her arms and rested her on her hip. "Hey, let's play."

Reid smiled as he watched Garcia begin to play ball with Penny. He moved over and sat next to Luna.

"Luna, this is the old team that I told you about. The team that I left. You met me when I was drifting and trying to get over what happened to me. Tom and Jake are the ones that I've been in a team with for the last two years. I met them not long after those amazing few days with you. There was another member, his name was Dante but he betrayed us a few weeks ago and some bad stuff happened to me. My old team, Jake and Tom, rescued me and they have helped me recover."

"Baby, what happened to you?" Luna said as she stroked around his fading black eye.

"William Johnson happened," he said as he struggled to stay calm. "The man who ordered Jason Mordo to hurt me before. He was working with Dante. They kidnapped me again a few weeks ago and there was another man. He-Uh-he raped me twice and beat me. He tortured me by burning me."

He turned around and brought up his jacket and shirt to show her the burns. Luna gasped and quickly pulled the jacket down. She brought her arms around him and held him close. He held onto her and breathed in her scent. She calmed him and helped him to push down the dark feelings inside of him. He kissed her cheek and listened to her voice.

"I'm so sorry. You're home now though. You're safe with us here and that will never happen to you again. Baby, I'm so sorry. I know how much the first time hurt you and I remember the nightmares when we first met. I'm here to help you. You won't go through this alone."

He came away and smiled at her. "I know I won't. It's so good knowing I don't have to leave you again. I'm sorry I haven't been here all this time. I wanted to but I just couldn't risk it."

"It's okay, you are here now."

"I want you to meet my old team and the ones who helped get me back," Reid said. He gestured to each member as he introduced them. "This is Aaron Hotchner, Derek Morgan, David Rossi, Jennifer but we call her JJ, Alex Blake and the lovely woman playing with our daughter is Penelope Garcia."

Luna gave them all a small wave. "Hello, nice to meet you all. Spencer, I'm confused. You told me about them."

"They didn't break their promise a second time. Let's just leave it at that. I don't want you to dwell on such dark things. Things aren't the same as before but we have made a start on making things better. Luna, how would you feel about moving? I want us to move to Virginia but I only want to if you want to. You've built a life here and it's your decision. I'm not here to disrupt your life here, I'm here to become apart of it. What do you want to do?"

Luna looked to the bottom of the garden and watched as Penny played with Garcia. Her daughter was laughing and smiling. She had never seen her instantly warm to a person like that. She had thought about moving away from here. The neighbours were not that nice to her. They believed that she should be married with a husband because of her child. One had even told her so. She had stayed because this is where Spencer knew she was. Virginia sounded like a nice place and she knew that Spencer had lived there for years and years before his attack.

"We can move," she nodded. "I've been thinking about moving any way. The neighbours are very uptight about how I should be raising our daughter. Where are we going to live?"

"I have money," he said. "I have enough to find any home that you want. You can choose any home and it is yours. I want you to have everything in the world that I can give you. You and little Penelope are the most wonderful and important people in the world to me."

"You are what I want," she said as held his hand. "You gave me our daughter and you have me a purpose in life. Before I got pregnant, before I met you, I was lost too. I was on a path of destruction and when I met you, you gave me hope. When I found out I was pregnant, it gave me the push to get better and be a good mother."

Hotch spoke up. "Luna, we let Spencer down two years ago and we have missed him every day since he left. We got surprised when we found him again and we have all unleashed our anger at each other and Spencer to us. We kept our promise this time and I intend to keep every promise to him for the rest of his life. You'll have protection in Virginia from us all and you will have our support. We know it will take time but we want to be a family again, like we were before."

"Promise that you will never let him down," Luna said. "Promise that you won't let what happened to him again, ever happen again."

"I give you my word," he said. "I promise to never let him down or let anyone hurt him."

"We all promise," Morgan nodded.

Luna smiled at them all. She looked to the garden to see Penny showing Garcia a flower. "Would you all like to stay for dinner? A family dinner."

"Yes, please," Morgan grinned.


Luna finished washing up the dishes from dinner. Spencer's friends left to stay at a hotel for the night, leaving Spencer all to her. She walked back into the living room and found Spencer asleep on the sofa with Penny asleep on his chest. She had never imagined having a family like this. The last year had not been easy in some ways. At the beginning, it was hard. Getting up at night every time Penny cried when she was a newborn had exhausted her and she had dealt with vaccinations, sniffles and difficult times. Every time Spencer had come home to her though, he had made all the worries go away.

Knowing that he wasn't going anywhere soothed her. She turned off the television and settled next to them. She put his arm around her and settled against him.


A month later

Reid drove to the storage centre with Morgan. They parked and made their way to his storage locker. His family had moved to Virginia the week before into a beautiful home with a large yard and not too far from the beach. Luna loved the new house and adored it. It was a new build and they had moved in quickly. Reid came to the storage locker and put his key in the lock.

"Reid, what are we doing here?"

"Checking up on something," Reid said before pushing the large door up. Morgan stepped forward and marveled at the contents of the locker.

"That is beautiful," Morgan nodded.
