Hello my lovely readers!

Yes I know, I'm a horrible person for keeping you waiting over a month for this chapter. *duckshead*

My life is beyond busy and on top of that I suffered a major case of writer's block... I hope you forgive me. I've made this chapter extra long, in fact, it's my longest chapter yet with almost 6,000 words. Don't know how that happened haha.

A couple of things before we continue:

WARNING: This chapter contains fluffy smut and more or less graphic descriptions of sex. So if you're not comfortable with that, please skip this chapter. :)

Also, don't forget to check out my tumblr with images for this story at

I will try and update sooner although I can not promise anything. I've recently taken on a second job that will take up some of my previously free time so I don't know how much time for writing I will have. I hope you understand, you've all been so awesome and I love you all!

Now enjoy!

xoxo

Chapter 52

"I pumped four bottles of milk, that's more than enough, they're in the diaper bag. You'll have to put them in the fridge as soon as you get home. When she's hungry you warm it up and test the temperature on your inner wrist. I've also packed you a spare set of clothes and some toys she enjoys. And there's a baby thermometer in there in case she feels warm, she's had a bit of a cold last week..."

"But she's been fine for a couple of days now." Spencer grabbed Annie's hand as he walked in, interrupting her rambling, and squeezed it tightly, giving her an affectionate smile. "And Garcia knows all these things, she's babysat for Henry plenty of times." he assured her.

Annie looked up and breathed out, a smirk on her lips. "I'm sorry. It's just weird to think she won't be with me for the next couple of hours."

"I know, it's weird for me too." Spencer smiled, he knew how nervous his wife was to leave Emma with someone else for the first time. It wasn't easy for him either but he was already used to spending a couple of days without his little girl.

Annie gave him a thankful smile. She really was looking forward to spend some time alone with Spence. He had first suggested to let Garcia babysit a couple of weeks ago. At first she had been reluctant, just the thought of not having Emma close made her heart ache. But she had thought about it a lot in the past weeks and had finally agreed to try it out for a couple of hours. After all, Emma was now four months old and even though she was very attached to her mommy and daddy she enjoyed spending time with her aunties and uncles.

"I know sweetie, but there's no need to worry. We'll have a lot of fun with Auntie Penelope today, won't we?" Garcia smiled and bent down to the baby seat set on their dining table, tickling Emma's belly which earned her a gurgling laugh. "And Mommy and Daddy will have some grown up fun." she added with a grin in Spencer and Annie's direction.

"Oh stop it Pen. We're probably going to fall asleep the minute you close the door. " Annie let out a laugh that hid her nervousness and she looked up at Spence to see a blush creep on his face. He was biting his lip and glanced down at her as she leaned into him, her head resting against his upper arm. The look in his eyes sent a shiver down her spine and she felt her own cheeks heat up.

"Yeah, you don't look like you're going to do much sleeping the way you're looking at each other right now." Penelope's chuckle snapped them both out of it and Annie laughed and walked over to Emma, not able to stop herself from picking her up once more to say goodbye.

She held her to her chest with Emma's head resting against her shoulder and pressed a light kiss on her head. "I love you sweetie." she whispered against the soft skin. She turned to Spencer who grinned and placed a quick peck on his daughters cheek.

"You be good for auntie Penelope or she'll be scared to babysit again." he chuckled and his heart swelled when Emma gave him a beaming smile.

He watched Annie gently place her back in her carseat before Garcia picked it up and they all walked towards the front door.

"Now you two have a great evening and don't call me asking how she is every five minutes. If you don't hear anything she's fine." the blonde grinned as she stepped over the threshold and walked towards her car. Reaching it she put the diaper bag in the backseat before securing the baby seat with the safety belt. She turned around again and gave them one last wave.

Annie let out a sigh as she watched the car drove away when she felt Spencer's hand on her shoulder, his thumb gently stroking her neck as he pulled her back to close the door.

"You alright?" he asked, hoping he hadn't pushed her into doing something she wasn't ready for.

Annie nodded her head and turned around to wrap her arms around his slender waist, pressing her cheek into his warm chest, careful not to knock him over. "I am." she replied. "It actually feels nice to hug you and know we won't be interrupted." she chuckled and looked up at him.

"It does." he grinned and pressed a kiss on her lips. "And you'll have me all for yourself tonight. But now I have a little surprise in the bathroom for you." he added with a wink.


"Ahhh..." Annie couldn't hold back another sigh as she breathed out and closed her eyes. The warm water did wonders for her aching back and she could feel her whole body relax like it hadn't done in weeks.

She opened her eyes again and smiled, Spencer really had thought of everything. While she had been busy explaining Emma's routine to Garcia he had drawn her a bubble bath with her favorite scent and put a couple of small candles on the edge of the tub. Soft music was playing and he had put a glass of cold water and her favorite book on a little table next to the tub. She had expected him to join her, the idea making her nervous and excited at the same time but he had insisted she take an hour just for herself after almost four months of 24/7 motherhood.

She knew they would go out to dinner but Spence had refused to tell her where, wanting it to be a surprise. She would have expected the bath to make her too tired to even leave the house but the thought of a night out with her husband filled her with too much excitement to feel any fatigue. She had already picked out what to wear and was looking forward to dress up again. She spent way too much time in her sweatpants and other comfortable clothing these days, just because it was so much more convenient. She had been out with Sara the week before and her friend had convinced her that buying a dress to hug her new curves would be just the thing she needed to feel better about herself and gain back the confidence she had lost with every pound she had gained.

Annie's stomach did a nervous flip when she thought about the other items Sara had talked her into buying: a brand new set of black lace lingerie. She had hesitated at first but Sara had been adamant and so she had finally given in and bought the ensemble.

Another sigh escaping her throat she stood up and let the drops of water run down her body before she stepped out of the tub and dried herself off. She wrapped herself in the large, fluffy towel before walking into their bedroom where she quickly retrieved her new puchases and went back into the bathroom.

Half an hour later she stepped back outside and stood in front of the mirror, turning to look at herself from all sides, making sure the dress fit her right. It wasn't anything special, just a simple black dress with a gently pleated skirt. It had a sweetheart neckline that was attached to a sheer yolk with black polka dots. But it accentuated her breast without revealing too much and the loose cut flattered her curves.

For the first time in months she had taken time to do her hair that was now tied in a loose, slightly one sided, low ponytail that was draped around her left shoulder in soft waves. She had applied only a little make up to freshen up her tired skin and accentuated her eyes with a bit of brown eyeshadow and black mascara. The pendant of the pi necklace rested just below her collarbones and she let her fingers run over it, a smile playing on her lips.

Suddenly she felt very silly for worrying so much. This was her Spence, her husband, her best friend and the love of her life. And tonight she'd show him just how much she loved him.


Spencer couldn't wipe the excited grin off his face as he drove down the street, the sun slowly making its decent to say goodbye for the day. Yes, he was driving, he had been for a couple of weeks now. By now his legs were strong enough to support most of his weight and apply controlled pressure. He had done a few test runs on a parking lot but quickly felt secure enough to venture out on the streets.

He had thought quite a bit about how he could make their first date night in a long time special and had finally come up with the perfect idea. He glanced over at Annie who was in the seat next to him a bright smile on her lips. Which was almost the only visible part of her face as a light scarf was bound around her eyes. He couldn't hold back a small chuckle. Morgan would have a field day with this, even after being with Annie for almost three years he still found enjoyment in teasing his friend whenever he did something romantic.

In the beginning he had always been embarrassed but now he didn't care. Now he could enjoy their friendly banter. And for Annie, he would do anything. And he hoped the suprise he had prepared for tonight would make her face light up with the smile that still sent his heart flying.

"Are we there yet?" Annie couldn't hold back another excited giggle.

She couldn't tell how long they had been in the car. Without seeing a thing it was hard to tell where and how fast they were whole body was tingling with excitement when she remembered his reaction to her new dress.

Annie stepped out of the bedroom to find Spence on the couch, his eyes focused on a book. He had changed into a black suit and glanced up. His silence made her nervous for a minute and she started to tug on her dress, the insecurities she had just pushed away rushing back into her mind.

But then he stood up, picked up his cane and walked towards her, still not saying a word. In a couple of steps he had reached her and slung his arm around her waist, crushing her into his chest as his lips caught hers in a kiss so passionate it almost knocked her off her 5 inch heels. The fingers of his left hand were grasping into her waist and her breathing hitched in her throat.

Spencer hadn't been able to help himself when she had walked into the room in that dress, the most radiant smile on her lips. He had felt unable to move as his gaze travelled down her body, over the lush curve of her breast to her slender waist that led to the curve of her hip he loved to hold on to. Yes, she was beautiful every minute of the day, whether she was in one of his old shirts or a simple dress. But right now she had made him speechless,

He softened his kiss, the feeling of her warm, soft body flush against his sending a shiver down his spine. He only reluctantly released her mouth and opened his eyes to see her blue ones staring back at him. Her breath was warm against his skin, her face slightly flushed and a small smile curled on his lips.

"I take it you like the dress." she whispered, pressing a kiss on the corner of his mouth.

"Like it is an understatement." his fingers tightened their grip on her hip. "I like it so much I would very much like to get you out of it." he added with a grin before he sealed her mouth with hs lips again.

"Now we're here." Spencer's voice ripped her out of her thoughts and she let out a little squeal as she felt the car stop.

"Can I take this thing off then?" she asked, and her hands rose to pull the scarve from her eye when he caught them in his own and put them down in her lap again.

"Just a little longer. Don't be so impatient." he chuckled near her ear and she giggled when she felt his lips graze her skin.

A couple of minutes later he had led her down the street and she heard him open a door. His hand lightly touched the small of her back and he gently pushed her forward, the door falling shut behind them.

"Wait here for a couple of minutes." he whispered and she could hear the excited smile in is voice.

She tried to figure out where they were while he bustled around. It was silent except for whatever Spence was doing so they couldn't be in a restaurant. She heard the flicker of a lighter and smiled. Had he maybe booked a hotel room for them? No, they hadn't gone through any kind of lobby or other entrance. But it definitely smelled of food. And coffee. She heard Spencer approach her again and couldn't stop her heart from beating just a tiny bit faster.

He moved to spend behind her and she felt his hand tug at the fabric on the back of her head, his breath warm against her neck as he said: "Now I really hope you like this."

And a second later she blinked as a soft light hit her eyes and her mouth fell open at the scene in front of her. They were nowhere other than in her cafe. But it didn't look like it usually did, bustling with patrons. It was bathed in the soft glow of what had to be at least two dozen larger and small candles. A table in the center of the room was set for two, a bouquet of beautiful flowers as the centerpiece.

Spencer watched her face and held his breath when she stared up at him and her face broke into a huge smile. And then her arms were around his neck and she pressed her face into his collarbone, raising herself up on tiptoes to reach him.

"This is perfect." she laughed when she pulled back again and pressed a kiss on his lips. "You couldn't have picked a better place. Obviously." she chuckled.

"Well there's one thing you don't know." he grinned. "You know I'm not really a genius in the cooking department..." He laughed when her eyes lit up. "So I thought we could.."

"Cook together?" Annie's face broke out in a smile. "Oh Spencer Reid, you know how to make this girl happy."


Spencer didn't know how long they had been there, all he knew was that right now he didn't want to be anywhere else. After making a quick phone call to Garcia to check that Emma was alright they had ventured into the kitchen and gotten to work on dinner. Annie had been in her element, that small smile on her face as they chopped and stirred, stopping every couple of minutes to kiss or hug or just smile at each other like a bunch of lunatics. They hadn't been able to keep their hands off each other and he felt butterflies in his stomach everytime he looked at her.

The old fashioned kitchen was cozy and would always remind him of their first kiss, the way his heart had almost burst out of his chest and how his fingers had been trembling at the thought of touching her. How he had been sure a woman like her would never want him. Never would he have thought he'd be here only a few years later. This marvellous creature was his wife and she had given him the most beautiful baby girl in the world.

His gaze was fixed on Annie as she talked, moving her hands to emphasize her point. Her eyes were gleaming from the tiny glass of wine she had had with dinner, knowing Emma was taken care of until tomorrow with the milk she had pumped. After they were done cooking they had decided to eat in the kitchen instead of the dining room of the cafe. So they had quickly fetched a few pillows from the couch and some of the blankets they provided for the guests outside on colder days and placed them on the floor. They had also brought in the candles and turned off the main light.

Annie could almost feel the happiness bubbling out of her. This whole night had just been perfect. Anyone else might have preferred being taken out to a fancy restaurant but of course Spence had known that this was so much more like her. She had only been in the cafe once a week to check up on things in the past couple of months. And as much as she loved spending her days with Emma she missed working here.

He had taken of his jacket and sat across from her, leaning back on one hand while the other craddled his glass of wine. His eyes were on her lips as she spoke and she stopped mid-sentence, her lips curling into a smile when she caught him staring. His brown eyes looked even warmer in the candlelight and she put down her own glass to lean forward, resting her arms on his side. Her face was close to his, their lips almost touching.

"Thank you for tonight Spence. We really needed this."

Spencer felt her warm breath against his lips. The brightest smile was on her lips and a small blush graced her cheeks. A strand of hair had escaped her ponytail and fallen across her face. He brought his hand up and gently tucked it behind her ear before cupping her cheek in his hand. Her eyes bore into his and it was as if she could look into his soul, the spark in her eyes sending his heartbeat racing.

"You have no idea how much I love you." he whispered before pressing his mouth on hers softly.

Annie's breathing hitched in her throat when their lips connected, his tongue gently swiping over her bottom lip, urging her mouth open. She parted her lips and the velvety muscle moving against her own made her stomach twitch. His other hand came up to grip her waist and he pressed her close against his chest, increasing the pressure on her lips. Her heartbeat sped up when he felt his hand slide down the outside of her thigh, reaching the seam of her dress.

His fingers were a delicious burn against her skin as they slid up again, bringing the fabric with them. She felt her body tense up, torn between the desperate need to feel him and the nervous flutter in her stomach. She willed herself to breathe and relax and focus on their kiss again. He reached the edge of her panties and his hand slid further up to her waist, the dress falling back down over his hand that was now resting on her naked skin, fingers stroking and gripping at the same time.

"Spence..." she felt herself tense up again, her face heating up from whatever feeling it was that rushed throuh her.

He tilted her chin up with his other hand, making her look at him instead of casting her eyes down. Her cheeks were flushed and her lips were trembling. He could see a glimmer of tears in her eyes and he realized just how insecure she felt right now. His tumb grazed her lower lip and he tenderly kissed her again.

"I know what you think." he breathed against her lips. "But you're wrong. You are beautiful." his hand slid from her hip to her back and he pulled her closer. "And I love you. Every little inch of you."

Annie's eyes fluttered shut when his lips consumed her again, his tongue slipping into her mouth before he released her again and he started to place delicate kisses across her jaw until his mouth reached her ear, his stubble tickling her in the most delicous way.

"Let me show you how beautiful you are to me." his voice made her heart thump erratically and a slight moan escaped her lips when his mouth latched onto her neck, sucking and nibbling the sensitive patch of skin. She whimpered at the loss of his touch when he released her again, but the fire behind his eyes sent a warmth right to the pit of her stomach.

"You trust me, don't you?"

"I do." she nodded her head. Of course she did. She looped her arms around his neck as he kissed her again, this time with more urgency. His tongue explored her mouth and her fingers tangled in his hair as his hands came down to her naked thighs again, hoisting up her dress. He pulled away again and she gave him a slight nod to show him she really wanted this. With a swift movement he had slid the dress all the way up and over her head, flinging it over his shoulder while his mouth wasted no time to crash onto hers again. His mouth and hands stirred a heat in here she hadn't felt for a long time and she let her fingers travel down over his collarbones to impatiently yank at his tie and shirt and he chuckled against her lips.

His hands left her hip to help her quickly undo the buttons and she pushed it down his shoulders, desperate to feel his warm skin against hers. And then she was flush against his chest again, their chests rising and falling with every pant. Another low moan escaped her throat when he sucked her bottom lip into his mouth, teeth biting gently on the sensitive flesh. His fingers were painting feather light patterns on her back and she felt her head spin.

Spencer felt like he had died and gone to heaven. It had been way too long since he had felt her almost naked body against his skin. She was still kneeling in front of him and he gently pushed her back into the pillows behind her, straightening out her legs on each side of him. His eyes travelled over her body, from her heaving cleavage in the black lace bra to the small curve of her stomach and to the edge of her panties, taking in every inch of soft skin, every curve of her glorious body.

His head snapped up when her hands moved to cover her stomach and he focused on her eyes again. Her ponytail had loosened and her hair was spread out around her face. The flickering light of the candles bathed her. She had never looked more beautiful to him than in this moment. He quickly caught her hands in his and brought them up until they were resting above her head and he was bent over her.

Annie felt her heart race in her chest when he rested his forehead against hers, still grasping her hands. His lust blown eyes were staring right into her own and his voice came out in a rasp.

"I want to see all of you."

She shivered when he released her hands to smooth her hair. "I told you. I. Love. Every. Little. Inch. Of. You."

A gasp left her throat when he let his hands run down her side while his lips left wet, open mouthed kisses on their trail down her neck, over her collarbone until he reached the edge of her breasts. She felt him push his hands underneath her to slightly lift her up and undo the clasp of her bra. He smiled against her skin when he freed her of the black fabric and let his fingers run through the valley between her breasts.

"I love this little mole right here." he mumbled against her skin, and she hummed in appreciation when he gently rubbed the spot, letting his lips follow before they continued their journey. His hand picked up her arm and he let his fingers dance down until he reached hers.

"These hands, always loving, always caring." he kissed her fingertips softly, smiling up at her before his lips returned to their previous path.

Her body softened under his kisses when he suddenly caught her already hard nipple between his lips, his tonge teasing it in slow circles. She rolled her hips involuntarily and felt the hard bulge inside his pants against her naked thigh.

"And of course I love these." he grinned up at her as he moved to pay attention to her other breast. She let out a giggle that quickly turned into another moan when he flicked his tongue against her peakened bud. She arched into him, desperate for more but he had already moved on, his tongue leaving a wet trail down her belly. He was now flat on his stomach, grasping her hip with one hand while the other rubbed over the curve of her stomach.

"I love this here the most, because it reminds me you carried our little girl." he peppered the area with kisses and suddenly she didn't mind her few extra pounds anymore. His hand stroked over the edge of her panties as his mouth travelled lower while the other moved up to cup her breast, catching her nipple between his fingers and she threw her head back in another moan.

He let his fingers slide down her leg, slightly raising it up to brush his lips against the inside of her thighs. The coil in her stomach tightened when he came closer and closer to where she wanted his mouth the most right now. She squirmed, desperate for some friction and he smiled against her skin.

"Spence, please..." she breathed when he grazed over her nipple again and sat up, hooking his fingers into her panties and slid them down over her ankles, leaving her fully exposed. She trembled at the hunger in his eyes as his fingers slid up to stroke the bone of her hip. He leaned down again to position himself between her legs, placing small kisses down from her belly button. Her whole body ached in anticipation, her fingers grasping into the blanket underneath her.

"And there's another part of you I particularly enjoy." he grinned, meeting her eyes and she let out something between a laugh and a groan when his lips reached the most sensitive part of her body. He breathed against her wet heat and her head fell back against the pillow, panting and moaning as he explored her with his tongue. His fingers joined his mouth, hitting all the right spots inside of her and she bucked her hips, unable to focus on anything else but the ball of fire inside her stomach that was heating up with every lick and every stroke. And then she saw stars as the hot white ball tightened almost painfully before her body gave way, shockwave after shockwave of pleasure running through her, his name a cry of pure pleasure on her lips.

Spencer pressed his hands flat on her stomach, trying to hold her down as she moaned and writhed under him. Her hands were tangled in his hair, gripping at his scalp, desperate to hold on to something as her orgasm rattled through her. He opened his eyes to glance up at her, her breasts heaving, her lips parted. The image of her coming undone underneath his hands shot right to his groin and he shifted to release some of the pressure on the bulge in his pants. His mouth softened against her as she road out her high, his name still on her lips. He peppered light kisses on her hips as she panted, trying to regain her breath before his mouth travelled further up her body until it reached hers.

Annie's whole body was still trembling, her breaths coming out in pants when she felt Spencer's teeth tug on her bottom lip. She opened her eyes to see his smiling face and her hands grabbed the back of his head, fingers grasping into his curls again. She pulled herself up, pushing him back in the process until he was sat on his knees and her fingers danced down his chest, leaving behind a trail of fire, until they reached the buckle of his belt. Their lips were still connected in a flurry of tongue and teeth as she yanked it open, making quick work on the buttons and zipper of his pants.

Her hands slid inside and she wrapped her fingers around his length, the low, gutteral grown that left his throat relighting the fire inside her own body. She raised herself up to give him room to get rid of his pants and boxers before straddling him again, his chest flush against her breasts. She nipped on his bottom lip and opened her eyes.

Holding his gaze as she slid down on him slowly, expecting at least a slight pain but feeling nothing but pure pleasure. A whine escaped her throat, the sensation of feeling him inside of her again overwhelming her senses.

She stilled for a moment, wanting to savour this moment, imprint it into her memory. Every nerve in her body was on fire, blood pulsating through her veins like molten lava. If it was possible her heart would surely burst out of her chest. All her fears were washed away in this instant and she gulped, overwhelmed with love.

"Are you okay?" he cupped her face in both his hands and pressed a light kiss on her lips.

He didn't dare move, not wanting to hurt her. And then she sealed his mouth with her lips again as she began to move slowly, rocking her hips and he let out another moan. His arms wrapped around her waist, one hand grabbing her butt as she continues to move, quickly finding the perfect rhythm. And it felt like his whole body was on fire as he usesd his own hips to thrust up against her, the sounds spilling from her lips like music to his ears. Her nipples grazed against his chest with every bounce and he brought one hand up to cup her breast, his thumb softly rubbing over the sensitive bud.

Her lips left his mouth to travel down his jaw. Her teeth grazed the skin of his neck, her hands gripping into his hair as she fastened her pace, panting his name over and over again. His mouth latched onto her shoulder, both his arms now pressing her against him, desperate to hold her closer, desperate for more. More of the softness and taste of her skin. More of her mouth against his own. More of her intoxitating smell that wiped everyting else from his brain. More of Annie.

Tingles shot up his spine and moans escaped his throat with every thrust, his body torn between never wanting this to end and finding the release he so desperately needed.

He could feel himself close to the edge when she arched her back, rolling her hips even faster. The coil in his stomach tightened and by the way her breathing became even more ragged he could tell she was close too. His hand cupped her cheek and she opened her eyes. His other hand gripped her hip as he thrust up into her faster, over and over again. And then her body fell apart around him, shaking and trembling, her nails digging into his back as he was pushed over the edge with her. The hot ball in his stomach exploded, fireworks behind his eyes as his hips stuttered and her name left his lips in a strangled moan when he found his own release.

His legs went weak as their hips slowed their rhythm and he gently pulled her almost limp body down with him until she was draped across his chest, her nose resting in the crook of his neck as they both tried to catch their breaths. His arm pulled her tighter against him and his eyes closed. A smile curled on his lips and he knew he had his old Annie back when she sighed against his skin, her voice whispering a sweet "I love you".


Annie let her fingers run over Spencer's stomach, her head resting on his chest as he stroked her hair. Their breathing had slowed down and her eyes were half-closed, her body spent. Her legs were tangled with his and he had covered them both with a blanket to protect them from the slight chill of the spring night. She didn't know how she had gone so long without this. She laughed lightly when she thought how stupid she had been, thinking he would find fault in her body when their love went so much deeper.

"What are you laughing about down there?" he chuckled against the top of her head, the sweet scent of her hair filling his nostrils.

"I just asked myself why the hell we didn't do this sooner." she turned to face him, still half lying on his chest and grinned.

"Well we certainly have some catching up to do." he winked as his palm rubbed the small of her back and he pressed a kiss on her lips.

"But?" she raised her eyebrows at him with a smirk. "Cause I know there's a "but" coming."

"Did you pick up some profiling skills from me?" he laughed. "You're right, there is a but... I love being here with you but... I kind of miss our little Peanut." he grinned.

"Kind of?" she smirked against his naked chest.

"Ok, ok." he laughed. "I miss her a lot."

"Hear, hear, who's the mother hen now?" she playfully slapped his chest and kissed him again before rubbing her nose against his. "But I agree, I miss her too. Wanna get out of here and continue the cuddling at home?"

And her heart did a little flip when he nodded and pulled her closer again by the back of her neck.

"But first I want another one of these..." he mumbled against her skin before sealing her lips with is own once more. And all she could do was let out another sigh and melt into him, knowing they were finally right back where they belonged.


I hope this made up for my long absence! :D Hope you enjoyed, let me know what you think in a review!
