Summary: Reid and Prentiss are seeing each other, but Reid has a secret about another team member which could threaten is new relationship.
Notes: Sky and Henry go to a puppet show with Reid, Prentiss and Garcia. I am getting a little sick of thinking up chapter names I'm not going to lie. Anyway the puppet show idea comes from this festival I went to last year with my niece, where they have a spot up front for the kids so that no tall grown ups can sit in front of them and block their view.


When they arrived only a few other people were there. It was easy to spot Garcia and Henry. Henry came running toward the three of them, and Garcia followed right behind. He only stopped when he got to Sky and gave her big hug. Sky hugged him back she liked getting to do things with her cousin.

"Sky!" Henry giggled kissing her cheek.

"I see the mini ladies man strikes again," laughed Garcia, taking a picture. "That is so cute."

"Are you excited about seeing the puppet show Henry?" Sky asked him.

"Yeah!"

"Do you two want to go sit up near the front where the grown ups can't sit in front of you and block your view?" Garcia asked them.

"Yeah!" both of them exclaimed.

"Well you better hurry up if you want to be right up front," Reid told them.

Sky took Henry's hand and they walked toward the benches at the front. The two kids went and sat down on the little benches that were set up at the front of the makeshit theatre. Reid, Garcia and Prentiss then sat down at the front of the big chairs so they could keep an eye on the kids. Sky was fussing over Henry trying to make sure that he was comfortable on the seat.

The three adult were watching the two kids together. They all thought it was adorable that Sky was helping Henry so much. The show started and soon everyone was laughing at the antics of the puppets. When it was over Sky once again took Henry's hand diligently so he wouldn't walk away from her and went back to where the adults were sitting.

"That was so much fun!" Sky exclaimed. "Daddy what are we gonna do next?"

"Do you want to have lunch with Aunt Penelope and Henry?"

"Yes!" Henry. "Stay!"

"Yeah, Daddy I wanna play with Henry more."

"I know just the place where we can eat and play!" Garcia exclaimed.

They went to the restaurant. There was play area for the kids so Reid went to play with them before they ate, leaving Prentiss and Garcia to talk. Prentiss was watching Reid and the kids. He was running around with the two of them, lifting them up when they needed help. She couldn't help but want to be pregnant, she had been so sure the night before that it had happened. The negative test result had really thrown her off. She wiped her eyes quickly.

"All right sweetpea, spill it," Garcia told her friend. "You've been on another planet all day."

"I want that," Prentiss sighed.

"You want what, exactly?"

"I want to be watching Spencer with our kids."

"Honey you'll get that, sometimes you just have to wait."

"I hope you're right. I love watching him when he spends time with Sky and Henry. He's so great with them. Look at him he gets right down on their level, he plays with them it's like he's living the childhood he never got. But I just want to see him holding our baby, and watching how amazed he is whenever the baby learns something new. I know it could take a while for me to get pregnant, but I keep thinking that I am, and then the tests are negative."

Garcia squeezed her hand. "Have you talked to Reid about it?"

"We talked last night, he thinks that right now might not be the right time for us. He's willing to go see a specialist but he wants to wait for another few months."

"What's wrong with waiting?"

"Nothing, I guess, I'm just sick of waiting for a baby. I want one now, or in forty weeks I guess. I have the man I want to have children with. We're married, it seems like the next logical step for us. I want a baby with him. I want to be able to see him be a father every day not just when it works for Elle."

"Even if you got pregnant soon you would still have to wait."

"I know, I do, and I know we should wait and get used to married life, but I just feel like I'm running out of time."

Garcia pulled her friend into a hug and then kissed her forehead. "Sometimes you just want it right away. You waited so long for your prince charming that you want everything else to go as quickly. It doesn't always work that way. No one deserves a baby more then you do, this is not god's way of punishing you for what you did when you were a teenager."

"I thought I was the profiler."

"You are the profiler Agent Prentiss-Reid, but you're one of my best friends. You're a good person who made a mistake when you were younger. We've all done it, no one is punishing you. Besides what higher being wouldn't give that guy a zillion kids if that's what he wanted?"

The two of them looked at the play area, Reid had somehow rounded up all of the kids who were in there and was now playing a game of follow the leader with them. The two women couldn't help but laugh as they watched him walking and crawling through the play structure with a line of kids following him.

"Whoever said your genius boy hubby wasn't good with kids was a fool," Garcia laughed. "Look at that smile on his face he's so happy. Why don't you focus on that?"

"I will, today has been great, I need to stop thinking about how I'm not pregnant and just trust that it will happen."

The two women continued to chat as they waited for the pizza to arrive. Reid brought Henry and Sky back to the table when the food arrived, despite the other kids asking him to stay. He sat Henry down on the booster seat and Sky sat next to him. He got the kids their pizza first and fussed over them while Garcia and Prentiss enjoyed their own meal.
