A shout-out to ahowell1993, hjkayla40, Amy, Susan, Martha, Betty, Skylar, and Kelly for either reviewing Chapter 13, favoring and/or following the story.

Again, sorry for the delay! Bad case of writer's block, as well as my own personal life.

My apologies if I had made any mistakes but do enjoy the chapter!

Also, I would like to credit ahowell1993 for helping me with this chapter.

"Okay," Élise hands Anastasia two pistachio nuts. "One last snack."

"Thank you. What happens next?"

"Well, time has passed since the events." Reid answers.

"Cool."

"Hey, Spencer," Élise said as she coolly walks in the Hotchner residence's veranda, where Spencer was sitting in one of the chairs.

"Hello, Élise," Spencer said as he offered a seat next to him. As she sat down,

"So, First Son…" They chuckled for a moment. "I still can't believe you're going to be the First Son in a week. Well, actually I can with all these Secret Service agents. But still, congrats again on your dad winning the election in November."

"Thanks. So, how have you been lately?"

"I've been okay. Great, actually. I got accepted into Harvard."

"Really? That's great. I got into MIT and I also heard Maeve and Bobby got accepted there as well."

"They did. And…I'm still in therapy about Barnes, my parents; I actually just came back and thought I visit. And you?"

"I'm still seeing my drug counselor and therapist. They're helping me with staying clean; I've even been secretly attending NA meetings since my kidnapping."

"Wow. That's great. And you're making great progress."

"Thanks to you as well. I don't ever want to put another drug in my body for as long as I'm living on this Earth." After Spencer gives her a soft smile, "I have something I want to give you and to be honest, I've…wanted to give this to you" Spencer said as he gives her a gifted present box.

"Oh." Élise was surprised. "Thank you, Spencer. Really, it is. I…" Once she opened it,

"What…?"

It was her golden heel she lost on the night of Spencer's masquerade ball.

"I believe you lost your shoe." Spencer quietly smirks. "Sorry I kept onto your shoe for so long."

A bit startled, "How did…?"

"I figured it was you at the masquerade ball; I am a genius after all. Well, that and recognizing your voice and…especially your eyes…sort of gave it away."

Élise giggles, blushing away, "It really was the best night of my life. The first time I've ever had fun in a long, long time."

"It was a night I can never forget either. Even if I couldn't."

Élise let out a quiet chuckle before both of them realized their hands were touching each other. And when they realized that,

"There's something I want to do, Élise," Spencer said. "And something I want to ask you as well."

"Of course."

Élise watched in speechless awe and Spencer got down on his knees, unlaced her black Converse sneaker and slips the gold shoe onto her foot.

Perfect.

Looking up at Élise dreamily with his hazel eyes, "Will you go on a date with me, Élise Gabrielle Lewis-Walker? And perhaps…we could be more than friends?"

After a few more seconds of speechlessness,

"I'd like that."

Staring at each other, they could feel that electric tension they felt when they had their first dance together and before they knew it,

Their lips touched.

"Who knew you had game, Einstein?" Agent Morgan slightly slid his black sunglasses and winked at the couple.

"Yay!" Anastasia cheered. "What happens next? Did they leave happily ever after? And what about everyone else? What about them?"

As Élise gets up from the couch, "We'd tell you more, but you have to go to sleep now."

"But…" Anastasia tries to protest, pouting.

"No 'buts,' little lady." Reid firmly replies as he got up and picks up Anastasia and carried her to her bedroom. "Your first day of school is tomorrow, so you need your sleep."

"Does that mean Teddy needs his sleep as well?" Anastasia was still clutching onto her teddy bear.

"Yeah-yeah." Élise following and behind Reid, "Perhaps tomorrow, we'll tell you what happens, okay, babe?"

"Okay." Anastasia accepts defeat, still pouting her lips.

"It's time to settle down now." Tucking Anastasia into her pink swing bed under her chocolate brown weighted blankets before making sure the guard rails were up and secured.

"Are you comfortable, angel?" Reid asks Anastasia as he runs his fingers through her long hair.

"Yes."

Now standing next to Reid, "Well, that's good, big girl. You'll need it for tomorrow. You need to get up bright and early for your first day of school." As they both kissed Anastasia on the head,

"Good night-night."

"Sweet dreams, sweet girl."

"Love you."

"We love you, too."

When they walked back into the master bedroom,

"Her first day of school is tomorrow," Élise said softly, wrapping her arms around Reid.

"I still can't believe it myself."

"They grow up so fast, huh?" Élise said before covering her mouth.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just been feeling a bit nauseous lately. And tired. But no biggie."

"If anything, we'll go to see a doctor, okay?"
