How To Save A Life…
"Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it - immediately."
- Stephen R. Covey
When Emily opened her eyes she felt Spencer Reid's arms securely wrapped around her waist, his head leaning against her back. When she felt her left arm was asleep, Emily decided to turn over her side, only to laugh when she realized that by turning on her other side, Spencer's face was now in her chest. She then heard a very familiar chuckle, before feeling lips tenderly pressing against hers.
"Morning" he told her softly, before he unwrapped himself from her and stretched his whole lanky, fit body.
"Morning Spencer" she answered softly as well but laid her now awake arm on his chest and felt his heart beat, which only relaxed her more, "is it okay if I don't go into work today?"
"I don't think Hotch will have a problem if both of us stay in today"
"You can't miss work because of me Spencer"
"Actually I can due to the fact that I have the next two weeks off for recovery and I want to be there for you Emily and I know you can't do this alone, so I'm staying by your side all day"
She smiled at him, before making herself get out of bed, only to be pulled back in a gentle matter, by non other than he fiancée.
"Nope, I'm making breakfast and you get to stay in" he told her, "give me 20 minutes tops" he told her before pulling on jeans over his boxers, kissed her cheek and made his way out of their bedroom and down to the kitchen.
Once she knew that he was all the way down the staircase, Prentiss got her laptop onto her lap and decided to go on IM, knowing that Garcia would be on at the very least. Within five minutes after she had log onto her computer and was checking her messages.
TechQueen01: There's the girl of the hour! How did things go last night?
Prentiss_Em: Nothing went as planned… he figured out, confronted me and the next thing I knew I woke up in bed, with him holding me tightly.
TechQueen01: Ooooh sounds kinky! ;)
Prentiss_Em: -_- … Garcia… Gun. You're way off, I fell asleep after crying and he carried me to bed
TechQueen01: AWWW, that's sooo sweet and better… not that mind blowing sex isn't great
Prentiss_Em: Oh god!

J_Jareau24: Hey Pen, who else is here?
TechQueen01: Our very own Emily Prentiss, who I presume remaining home?
Prentiss_Em: Yes… what the… Girls I gtg, I'm hearing strange sounds downstairs… like Crickets. Ttyl!

As Emily Prentiss slowly walked up to the staircase, she could hear a guitar playing… wait No one owned a guitar in this place. She looked down and saw him smiling up to her, she gently returned the smile until she heard a fuzzy sound and then something hitting the top of her head.
"OW! What the… what was that?" as she looked to the floor she saw the same empty film canister and laughed, "Physic magic huh? Hotch was right you are getting some distance on these now"
The roads are wrapped around your waist
They lead me place to place
I take trips from hip to hip
In fact, I've made a career of it
Spencer Reid was now lightly chuckling and making his way up to her, only to have felt the empty small object hit his forehead, causing Prentiss to have a fit of giggles. As soon as he was about a foot away from her, he pulled out a single white Rose.
"I've got your back, you've got mine, hold me tight and I'll be fine. Of all the things big and small, what I want most of all, is if you'd agree to never fight, it wouldn't matter who's wrong or right. All your heart is what I want you to send, and mine will be with you until the end of everything I love to do, most of all it's being with you" he then gently yet passionately kissed her, before slowly pulling away, "I love you" he whispered before pressing his lips to hers again.
I always thought the left was your strongest side
But when it comes to you, I can't decide
It's only a matter of time
Before she could stop herself, two single tears from each of her eyes were now sliding down her cheek, to which he wiped away before they could reach her chin.
"I love you too" she whispered after they broke the kiss. As she tried to pull him closer to her, Spencer quickly swept her off her feet, literally. He then carried her down stairs, where both of their meals were but he didn't carry her to the table, he put her down and slowly raised the volume on his laptop, where the song was coming from.
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you cry
And baby, it's the only way I stay alive
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time.
He then pulled her close to him, her back pressing on his chest has he slowly swayed her and kissed her shoulder. She eventually turned around to face him and found that she couldn't keep her eyes off of his. They both slowly kissed each other, until her stomach rumbled, telling her that she needed food now, which caused both of them to chuckle, before walking to the table and eating their room temperature meal.

As most of the team was getting ready to head home, JJ, Morgan and Garcia wondered why Prentiss hadn't come back on IM or even called them about what the noise was in her apartment. Garcia still had some work to do and wanted to wait for Kevin to finish his shift, which was ending in about an hour or so but she told them to keep her in touch when they would arrive at Prentiss home.
"Hotch JJ and I are heading out to Emily and Reid's okay?" Morgan told his boss.
"Still no answer? Have you tried their cell phones?"
"Both go straight to voice mail Hotch, I'm starting to get worried" JJ answered.
"Fine but keep me in touch to make sure they're both doing okay?"
"Sure thing Hotch" was the last thing Morgan said, before he and the media liaison were making there way out of the bullpen, leaving both older agents to chuckle.
"Now I know I'm going to owe you twenty bucks for the stunt you just pulled Aaron" Rossi said. Both older agents weren't as concerned knowing what was actually going on, unlike the rest who were being overly protective, but who wouldn't after what had happened recently. But still the fact that now they would have to wait and find out what happened when both of his agents would walk in or in Morgan's case, kick his way in, they would both get the laugh of their lives!"
~X~
After driving through the traffic jam, which took them about 45 minutes, when in actuality it would only take about 15 minutes tops to get to Emily's place. After they parked in the underground parking garage, both agents walked into the elevator and pressed the floor number their friends lived on and waited patiently for the doors to open once they would arrive on their floor.
The ride last about two minutes, before the doors opened on their floor and they were now slowly making their way to the correct door and knocked on it.
"Kid, Princess, it's me and JJ. We just want to make sure you're both okay" he said, but when no one answered he gave JJ a look to ask her if he should kick down the door or not, to which she nodded. After he took two steps backward, Derek Morgan lifted his foot and kicked the door as hard as he could, which almost sent the door flying onto the floor.
Minutes before the door was kicked down, Reid and Prentiss hadn't heard their friends knocking and talking to them, they were kind of wrapped up in something else.
"Spencer… Oh god… faster baby" she purred into his ear, as she stuck her tongue in his ear, causing him to roll his eye almost all the way to the back of his head. They were on the dining table, her legs wrapped around his hips, trying to push him deeper into her, while he kissed her pulse, feeling her hear rate against his lips. He had started to lose control of his rhythm, when the sound of their door violently hitting their wall scared the hell out of both of them.
"FB- SHIT!" Morgan immediately covered his eyes, as did JJ, when they saw both of their friends jumping away from one another and quickly put on their clothes, while glaring at both Morgan and JJ.
"Is too much to ask for a normal day?" Emily snapped as she walked up the stairs and slammed the door.
"What the hell guys!" Reid asked, while putting his grey T-shirt back on.
"You guys weren't answering anything. We panicked and thought the worse cause no offense lately that's all we've been getting" JJ told in all honesty, "I'll go talk to her" she told Spencer, before walking after Emily.
"We're sorry man, we should have guessed that you two wanted a nice quiet…fun time for today" he couldn't help but tease after he apologized.
"This isn't funny Morgan, when Emily found out she was five weeks pregnant, she realized that in those five weeks, we haven't… been "close"… you know? I knew she felt like I wasn't attracted to her and today was suppose to be the day that I showed her…" he was dead serious, "Now she'll probably be insecure and with her hormones she's going to go berserk" he was now rambling.
"Kid, listen, we're sorry but you got to understand that after what's been going on lately"
~X~
JJ lightly knocked on the master bedroom door and heard someone that it was okay to come in and she did, only to see a sad Emily on what JJ presumes was her side of the bed and sat next to her friend.
"Em, Derek and I are sorry… again" she paused hoping to have made her friend smile a little, but saw nothing of lighting up mood, "We just panicked. With everything that's been going on and what has happened… of course we'll be on high guards. We're both very sorry… well I am Morgan's probably teasing Spence" this time Emily had a small smile on her face.
"You know that was the first time we've been… "close", you know… in about six – seven weeks… I thought that he knew I was pregnant and couldn't stand being near me or even touch me"
"I see the hormone have already kicked in"
"You have no idea JJ… but today was so special, I actually forgot that I was pregnant"
"Tell me!" They were now having their girl talk, which also meant that JJ was forgiven by Emily.
"The cricket sound I was hearing was the start of a song and… you remember when that Physics magic trick he did… the one that hit me in the head?"
"Well yeah, I and Garcia still talk about it" she giggled.
"Well he made sure that is calculation was right for another one to hit me in the head"
"Um… that's, uh, nice?" JJ was confused.
"I thought it was nice, because that's when we were both starting to feel more comfortable around one another, he then came up and gave me a white Rose and read out a poem that he probably wrote himself and kissed me"
"…Wow…" JJ just couldn't believe that Spencer Reid was that of a romantic, he who was once socially awkward around every women, was now doing up his thing to show how much Emily Prentiss meant to him, "And knowing Spence, he so did made that poem up"
"Now he'll probably stay away form me… having the fear in the back of that giant brain of his, the fear of people he thinks as family barging in, while we're intimate… TWICE!"
The girls started giggling, when a gentle knock was heard, "Come in" Emily said and saw her fiancée walking in shyly.
"Are you okay?" he asked, to which she nodded, "Okay… listen I have to go pick up Andrew okay? I'll see you in 30 – 35 minutes… oh and Emily?"
"Yeah?" she looked up, only to be deeply kissed by him.
"Love you" he whispered.
"Love you too" she answered him, before he walked out of the room.
"I think Morgan and I better leave you guys alone"
"Actually you might as well stay for supper, we were going to order pizza in and watch a movie"
"You don't mind?"
"Nope… but Morgan's so fixing the door before Spencer and Andrew get back" she said sternly before walking out.
