There is a part that any of you could consider T rated or M rated because of Olivia's Valentines Day surprise for Spencer depending on your point of view.


Spencer and Hotch woke up to Hotch's cellphone ringing. Reid grabbed his glasses and put them on one handed as Hotch answered his phone. A few minutes later Hotch hung up and looked at Reid.

"There's another victim, so after breakfast you and Rossi are going to the recent crime scene." said Hotch

Reid nodded before getting out of bed to get ready for the day. As he was buttoning up his sweater vest, he heard his cellphone vibrate and smiled when he saw a text from Olivia.

GOOD MORNING SPENCER. I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD BE UP YET SINCE YOU ARE NOW THREE HOURS BEHIND ME, BUT HAVE A NICE DAY AND CALL ME WHEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE. LOVE YOU. ~ OR

Spencer quickly typed a reply.

JUST WOKE UP LESS THAN 15 MINUTES AGO, AND I WILL CALL YOU WHEN I HAVE A CHANCE. LOVE YOU. ~ SR


Reid got into an SUV with Rossi, and Rossi looked at Reid who was buckling himself in.

"Wearing your glasses today?" asked Rossi as he started the SUV

"I am getting tired of fiddling with my contacts since it takes a few minutes to insert them, and Hotch doesn't mind me wearing my glasses while in the field as long as I have a spare pair of glasses just in case something happens to the pair I am wearing." said Spencer

"And it's not a good idea for you to wear your contact lenses for a full 24 hours." said Rossi

"My eyes usually start to hurt if I wear my contacts for way too long, even if I sleep while wearing my contact lenses my eyes are sore when I wake up." said Spencer

"Let's get back into case mode since we are going to be meeting with Agent Parker in a minute." said Rossi

Reid got of the SUV and met up with Agent Parker.

"The victim's name was Gus Harrington. Found him underneath the pier in Santa Monica." said Agent Parker

Reid put his hands in his pockets as he walked in step with Agent Parker.

"He changed his method of disposal to avoid detection, but he's staying near the beach because he's compelled to." said Spencer as he, Rossi, and Agent Parker headed towards the crime scene

"It means something to him." said Rossi as he followed Reid and Agent Parker

"The credit card history indicated Harrington was staying here." said Agent Parker as he led Reid and Rossi into a hotel room

Rossi, who noticed the liquor bottles, spoke.

"Looks like he was drowning his sorrows." said Rossi

Reid grabbed some latex free gloves and snapped them on before opening up the mini bar.

"He emptied the mini bar first." said Spencer

"A man in this condition couldn't have driven to the beach." said Rossi

"Yeah, his car is still in the hotel parking." said Agent Parker

"So he was intoxicated when he got dressed." said Spencer

"A drunk target would be easier to subdue." said Rossi

"So where would he go next?" asked Spencer

"He ran out of booze. He probably went to find more." said Rossi

Reid, Rossi, and Agent Parker continued looking around the crime scene some more before they headed back to the field office so they could give the profile.


"We believe you're looking for a white male in his 30s or 40s who's targeting emotionally distraught men." said Hotch

"Cell phone records show none of the victims made calls or had appointments the evenings they went missing." said JJ

"This unsub selects his target, befriends him, and then kills him all in one night. This means that he's ordinary, unimposing, easy to talk to." said Rossi

"Because he can get his victims to open up and reveal personal information, we believe he's able to somehow project a sense of familiarity towards them." said Emily

"That familiarity most likely comes in the form of a shared loss. He's targeting down-and-out businessmen struggling in their everyday life." said Morgan

"He preys upon their vulnerability and then kills his victims with single shots to the head. He believes that he's being merciful, putting them out of their misery." said Rossi

"Because he feels compelled to remove his victims' genitals, we believe he feels emasculated by his own loss." said Spencer

"Most of the victims are from out of town and new to the area, so we should look at anyone trusted to offer advice to visiting professionals." said Morgan

"The unsub most likely has a working knowledge of auto mechanics, or at the very least, the resources to disable the car's GPS system." said JJ

"We believe that our unsub's comfort zone is in the South Bay district, so we should start our search there. But having said that, it's important not to display too heavy of a police presence." said Spencer

"Why is that?" asked Agent Parker

"He's gone to great lengths to protect his identity. That's because he has something to lose." said Hotch

"If he feels that we're closing in on him, it's likely he'll move to another location and start killing there. Thank you." said Hotch before agents left the room


Spencer was walking with Rossi in the field office's hallway as Rossi's cellphone rang.

"Go ahead, Garcia." said Rossi as he put his phone on speaker for Reid

"The M. E. ran liver tests. All of the victims had elevated levels of alcohol in their systems." said Garcia through Rossi's phone

"We should narrow our search to liquor stores and bars. The unsub could be hunting his victims there." said Spencer as he crossed his arms

"But wait, there's more. In my obsessive cross-checking, I unearthed something, and by something, I mean nothing." said Garcia

"Explain." said Rossi

"The trail runs frosty, my friends. None of the victims purchased alcohol on the night they went missing. I'm clever. I even checked ATM transactions to see if they used cash. Zilch. Zero dinero spent on the sauce." said Garcia

"So how are they drinking?" asked Spencer

"Good work, Garcia." said Rossi as he hung up and put his phone back in his suit jacket

"The unsub couldn't have known his victims more than a few hours. Is he just convincing total strangers to let him buy their drinks?" asked Spencer

"In my experience, people don't question an open bar. They just give thanks and order another round." said Rossi, knowing that Reid doesn't like drinking

"You know, he could be finding his targets on the streets and then inviting them to his house for a private party." said Spencer

"But how is he able to figure out that they match his victimology? In order for him to do that, he'd have to spend time with them, listen to their troubles." said Rossi

"What are you thinking?" asked Spencer

"Who can you pour your problems to over drinks, even though you've never met them before?" asked Rossi

"The same person who can make sure you don't run a tab or a paper trail." answered Spencer before they left the hallway they were loitering in to meet up with the others so they could tell them what they figured out

"There are hundreds of bars and clubs in the South Bay. Not including ones in hotels and restaurants. I mean, how are we supposed to narrow it down?" asked Agent Parker as he sat down

"It doesn't take into account a lot of bartenders work multiple venues- private parties, events." said JJ

"We're looking for a needle in a haystack." said Agent Parker

"If the unsub's a bartender, he probably hears sob stories all the time. The trigger's gotta be something more specific than that." said Hotch

"It can't just be about loss, like you said?" asked Agent Parker

"These losses aren't sufficient enough to warrant mercy killings. Especially not by someone who's heard it all before." said Emily

Morgan got up while speaking.

"Guys, what if the losses aren't what's triggering the unsub? What if it's the catalyst to the losses?" asked Morgan

"A behavioral trait each of the victims had that made them vulnerable to loss." said Spencer

"Or an event so overwhelming it's consuming everything in their life." said Morgan

"Loss of job, home, family. What event could cause each of those?" asked Hotch

"What if it's the emotional toll of a failed relationship?" asked Morgan

"He's targeting victims with broken hearts." said Rossi


Currently in Washington DC at Georgetown University

Olivia was sitting at her desk grading papers when she heard a knock on her open door and saw a delivery man who had a vase with flowers in his arms.

"May I help you?" asked Olivia

"Are you Dr. Olivia Reid?" asked the flower delivery man

"Yes I am." said Olivia

The delivery man came into the room and placed the vase on her desk before leaving the room and she looked at the card that had a typed note on it.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY MY LOVE. ~ SR

Olivia smiled before hearing a knock on her open door, and she grinned when she saw that it was Alex.

"Hey Alex." said Olivia

Alex came into the room, and she smiled when she saw the vase of roses.

"Spencer sent you flowers?" asked Alex

"Yeah he did." smiled Olivia

"Is he still in California?" asked Alex remembering the conversation they had the day before

"Yeah he is, but I appreciate him sending me flowers on our first Valentines Day because he escaped being in my dog house for being on a case during Valentines Day." said Olivia as she rested her hands on her four month pregnant belly

"So other than the flowers he sent you, did you two make any other plans?" asked Alex

"Spencer made dinner reservations for tonight, and I am praying that he is home in time since they gave the profile yesterday." said Olivia, glad that she is talking to someone who understands the type of job her husband works "But Spencer and I can always belatedly celebrate Valentines Day after he gets home because I have plans for him since JJ, Emily, and Garcia convinced me to get something that will knock his mismatched socks off his feet when they took me maternity clothes shopping on Saturday." smirked Olivia

Blake shook her head because she remembered what it was like during her younger years with James before they both focused on work.

"When is my husband guest lecturing for you again?" asked Olivia

"Not sure yet, because you and he are pretty busy now, preparing for Piper's arrival." smiled Blake

"Since last week, Piper has kicked me a few times." said Olivia as she rested her hand on her belly and smiled when she felt her daughter kick "You should feel her kick, Alex." said Olivia

Blake came over to Olivia and placed her hands on Olivia's belly. A minute later she felt a flutter.

"I bet Spencer was excited to feel his daughter kick for the first time." said Alex

"He causes me to release a few tears, especially when he talks to her." smiled Olivia

"I bet you can't wait for her to be born." said Blake

"Spencer and I are pretty excited, and I already have a feeling that Piper is a daddy's girl, even though she isn't even here yet." smiled Olivia

"Only five more months to go?" asked Alex

"Five more months." smiled Olivia

"I thought that I should check on you before my next class." said Blake as she got up from the chair she was sitting in

"I have a feeling that Spencer asked you to check on me daily, because he has already started hovering over me a bit which makes me glad when he calls to tell me that he has a case, because I get a break from him despite missing him." said Olivia

"He is nervous, just like you, because of being a first time parent." said Blake before she left the room

At that moment Olivia's cellphone rang and she grinned when she saw that it was Spencer.


Currently in California

Reid pulled out his cellphone and called Olivia as Morgan and Rossi were heading to the most recent crime scene.

"What's up Doc?" asked Olivia

Spencer shook his head because he knew that Olivia was quoting Bugs Bunny since she has been showing him cartoons to get ready for when Piper starts watching them.

"I have a few minutes to call and talk to you Livy." said Spencer

"How's it going in California?" asked Olivia

"Even though I spent a lot of time in California last year, I can't wait to get home to you." said Spencer before speaking up "How's it going in DC?" asked Spencer

"Piper has kicked me a few times, and Einstein is wary of being by my belly because of what happened two nights ago." laughed Olivia

Spencer chuckled before speaking.

"Who never knew that a puppy would get freaked out by our daughter's kick." said Spencer

"Said the man who used to be freaked out by baby kicks." retaliated Olivia

"Touche." smirked Spencer before adding "At least I am not afraid of my own daughter's kicks."

"Thanks for the flowers that you had delivered to my office." said Olivia

"It's Valentines Day Livy, and I had to send you something, even though I am on the opposite side of the country." said Spencer

"Do you think you will be home tonight for our 7 PM reservations?" asked Olivia

"Not sure yet, but we delivered the profile yesterday and Rossi and I figured some things out about the unsub yesterday that helps narrow down suspects quite a bit." said Spencer

"So we should keep our reservations for now?" asked Olivia

"Let's keep our reservations for now." said Spencer before adding "I have to get going." said Spencer as he hung up so he could answer the land line he was sitting by


Spencer got off the land-line he was using at a desk as JJ approached him.

"We were right. All of the unsub's victims recently suffered the end of a romantic relationship, but they actually have something else in common." said Spencer

"Each of the relationships ended due to infidelity?" asked JJ

"How do you know that?" asked Spencer

"Kelsey Ashwood cheated on her husband." said JJ

"All 5 of the male victims were businessman devastated by the destruction of the relationships." said Spencer

"They probably started acting out, which led to the losses we profiled earlier." said JJ

"Well, get this. Sean Taylor and Joe Kraus were the ones that cheated in their relationships." said Spencer

"They were the ones who were left exposed. So he's showing sympathy to the men that were cheated on, yet anger toward the cheaters." said JJ

Spencer's cellphone rang and he noticed a number with an Los Angeles area code so he answered it.

"This is Dr. Reid." said Spencer and he listened to the caller before hanging up "All right, thanks." said Spencer as he hung up and looked at JJ

"Kelsey's car was found in a junkyard near Torrance. Somebody was in the compactor when it was crushed." said Spencer as he got up and told Hotch about the phone call he just got and he and JJ stayed at the field office while Hotch and Emily headed to the crime scene


"According to the ex-wife, Michael's been staying in the loft above the bar. We got two floors to cover." said Morgan as he exited an SUV

"Have your people maintain a perimeter around the building." said Rossi

"Shouldn't we wait for S. W. A. T.?" asked Agent Parker

"We're out of time. Hunter knows Michael's not his real father." said JJ

"If he rejects him, Michael could lash out at whoever's closest, including Hunter." said Spencer

"All right, let's move." said Morgan

Reid headed inside with his teammates and Agent Parker and he helped clear the first floor before JJ headed downstairs on her own as he cleared other rooms with his teammates


Spencer took JJ over to the paramedics so she could be looked over.

"Spencer, I'm fine. I swear, it's just a scratch." said JJ

Spencer pushed his glasses further up his nose before speaking.

"I don't know. I count two cuts, 3 bruises, a black eye, and possibly a fractured rib." said Spencer before looking at the paramedic "I'm not telling you how to do your job, but you should probably consider giving her a CAT scan."

JJ looked at the paramedic and spoke.

"Ignore him." said JJ

Hotch came over to Reid and JJ.

"You OK?" asked Hotch

JJ looked at Hotch and spoke to him.

"Yeah, I will be. What about him?" asked JJ as they looked at the teenage boy

Hotch looked at JJ and whispered.

"He is just preparing for when his daughter gets hurt JJ." whispered Hotch

"I figured that." whispered JJ


Spencer pulled out his phone and sent Olivia a text as he was packing up for the day.

I AM ABLE TO MAKE OUR RESERVATIONS, BUT I WILL HAVE TO CHANGE OUT OF MY WORK CLOTHES WHEN I GET HOME. ~ SR

A minute later Olivia replied to him

I WILL TAKE A SHOWER AND GET MY HAIR DONE. ~ OR


Spencer and Olivia were sitting at their table when they saw Hotch and Beth join them.

"Glad you two could make it." said Olivia

Beth noticed that Olivia's belly got bigger over the past few weeks and spoke up.

"You're looking great." said Beth

"Thanks. At least I only have to carry Piper Ann Reid for about five more months." said Olivia as she rested her hands on her belly

"That's a pretty name for her." said Beth

"My mom was named Piper, and I wanted to name my daughter after my mom like I was named after my grandmother." said Olivia

"After your daughter is born, are you two planning on having any more kids?" asked Beth

"Yeah we are, because I am hoping for a son that will look like his daddy in the future." smiled Olivia

"I have a perfect mixture of both of my parents because I have my father's hair and eye color and everything else is from my mom." said Spencer

Beth looked at Olivia.

"Do you remember who you looked like more?" asked Beth

"I looked like my mother, while I had my father's eyes." said Olivia

Spencer looked at Olivia and spoke up.

"Hopefully Piper has a perfect mixture of us, but either way she will be beautiful little girl like her mother." said Spencer

Olivia wiped a tear from her eye and Spencer spoke.

"Hormones?" asked Spencer

Olivia nodded as Spencer used his thumb to wipe a stray tear off Olivia's face and Beth looked at Hotch and whispered.

"They make a sweet couple." whispered Beth

"They sure do." whispered Hotch


Spencer and Olivia walked into the house, and Spencer looked at Olivia.

"I am going to run Einstein outside, so how about you get ready for bed?" he asked

Olivia nodded and she headed upstairs while Spencer looked at Einstein who was crying in his kennel.

"Hey Einstein." said Spencer as he lifted the puppy out of the kennel


Olivia entered the master bedroom where she closed the curtains before she quickly got out of her dress and grabbed the bag containing lingerie that JJ, Garcia, and Emily convinced her to buy at the mall when they took her maternity clothes shopping and to the spa. Olivia grinned at the memory as she put on the lingerie.

Flashback

JJ, Emily, Garcia, and Olivia were walking in the mall with a few shopping bags when Garcia saw a Victoria's Secret and grinned at her friends.

"Let's go in there." grinned Garcia

"I have to find something that will wow Will." said JJ

Emily looked at Olivia.

"You should get something that will knock off the mismatched socks off your husband's feet because of Valentines Day coming up." grinned Emily

"I guess I should find something." grinned Olivia

Emily, JJ, Garcia, and Emily walked into Victoria's Secret and Garcia looked at Olivia as they headed towards the lingerie.

"What color does your husband love seeing on you?" asked Garcia while JJ and Emily flanked her while crossing their arms

Olivia's face heated up before speaking, knowing that she can't escape Garcia's question.

"He always gets turned on when I wear the shade of blue that matches my eyes." smirked Olivia, causing Emily, JJ, and Garcia to grin

"Then it's settled." said Garcia as she started going through a rack of light blue lingerie and holding up some possibilities to Olivia while Emily and JJ make some comments

"But please don't tell my husband about this shopping adventure." said Olivia

"We wouldn't want to get him distracted at work, even though Morgan would tease him." said Garcia

"What is your husband like in bed?" asked Emily

"What do you think?" asked Olivia as she rested her hands on her 15 week pregnant belly before adding "We conceived Piper on his 30th birthday because a heated make out session we had on the couch caused us to head to the bedroom for a few hours." she smirked

"But I want details on our next girls day out." said Garcia with JJ and Emily nodding in agreement

Flashback ended

Olivia snapped out of her memory as she heard Spencer coming up the stairs, so she quickly laid herself in bed into a position that would turn him on.


Spencer walked into the master bedroom and gulped when he saw Olivia sprawled in bed only wearing light blue lingerie, and he groaned when he felt his pants begin to tighten as he stayed glued to the spot where he was standing.

"Cat caught your tongue Spencer?" asked Olivia seductively before smirking at how her husband's body was reacting as she looked at his lower body which caused her to get out of bed to slowly approach her husband to help him out of his misery

Spencer's eyes darkened and he nodded as Olivia closed the bedroom door, reached for his tie and started slowly untying it.

"With how you are reacting, I bet I could help you feel better." smirked Olivia as she started to unbutton Spencer's dress shirt and saving his pants for last, glad that she is getting the reactions she wanted

A few minutes later Spencer and Olivia were passionately making out in bed.


A few hours later Spencer and Olivia were laying side by side with their faces were flushed and their hair messy, and Spencer looked at Olivia whose eyes were bright.

"That was absolutely fantastic." he murmured into her sweaty hair

"It's a bummer that we have work tomorrow, because we could do this all night if we could." said Olivia as she kissed him

"I know, but how about we continue this weekend if I don't have a case." said Spencer

"I guess our plans are set." smirked Olivia as she looked at the alarm clock realizing how late it is "We should probably clean ourselves up and get some sleep since its a school night for us." said Olivia

"We probably should." said Spencer as he helped Olivia get out of bed and led her to the master bathroom. He turned on the shower and they cleaned themselves up before going down stairs to check on Einstein and get a late night snack because of the appetite they worked up.


Spencer was pouring quite a bit of sugar into his coffee when he heard Morgan's voice.

"Easy there, tough guy. Have some coffee with your sugar Pretty Boy." said Morgan

"Had a late night because Olivia had her own Valentines Day surprise for me." said Spencer as his face heated

"My man." said Morgan as he clapped Reid on the shoulder

Spencer's face heated into a deeper shade of red before he whispered.

"Don't speak too loud, Morgan, because then some of our teammates will ask Olivia for details." whispered Spencer

"Knowing our female teammates, they probably asked her to give them details because ladies do gossip about us." said Morgan

Spencer groaned before putting his head in his hands, not knowing that Garcia was eavesdropping and sending Olivia a text.

I DEFINITELY WANT DETAILS LATER BECAUSE DEREK IS TEASING YOUR HUSBAND RIGHT NOW. ~ PG
