A/N: Hello again, everyone!

A shout-out to ahowell1993, Kelly, Skylar, Susan, Betty, Amy, and Martha for either reviewing Chapter 14, favoring and/or following the story.

Again, sorry for the delay!

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

Because unfortunately, this is the last chapter.

Also, I would like to credit ahowell1993 for helping me with this chapter. I hope you all read her latest Criminal Minds story: Spencer and Maeve Love Story.

I'm so glad that after the two-part season 15 premiere, Spencer and JJ aren't getting together despite Spencer's heart getting broken. I just now hope his new love interest for Spencer works out.

"Do I have to go?" Anastasia moaned.

"Yes, you do, sweet girl," Élise said as she held Anastasia's hand, rubbing it in gentle circles.

"But my tummy…"

Reid tries to comfort her, holding her other hand, "…Is nervous on your very first day of school. It has."

"I don't think I'll like school."

"You're going to love going to school." Élise sounded perky. "It'll be fun. And besides, look at the positives."

"Which are…?" Anastasia was still iffy.

"You look pretty in your first-day-of-school outfit."

A sleeveless fit-and-flare pink multi floral print cotton sateen dress with a rounded neckline. A pink cable-knit cotton cardigan, glitter sneakers, and pink and floral mismatched socks.

"So?"

"Well, you'll meet lots of new and great people," Reid added.

"What if I don't make any friends?" Anastasia said, already sounding defeated.

Reid and Élise stopped walking for a moment and crouched down to Anastasia's size.

"Now, sweetheart. What have we always told you?"

"Always say please and thank you?"

"Well, yes that, and anything is possible."

"Plus, you have Teddy with you to keep you company." Élise pointed out her weighted teddy bear in her pink backpack.

Anastasia tilts her head and thought about it for a moment,

"Okay."

Reid pats her shoulders, "That's my girl."

"But…"

"But what?"

"What happens to Élise and Spencer?"

"From the Cinderella story?" Reid asked as he and Élise held her hand again.

"What happens to them? And everyone else…?"

"Well…"

Twenty years later…

Twenty-Year-Georgetown Day School Reunion…

"Élise! Spencer!" Maeve said, waving to them.

"Or should we say President Spencer Hotchner and First Lady Élise Hotchner?" Bobby playfully corrected his wife as he points around the several Secret Service agents.

Maeve good-humoredly taps her husband's shoulder, "Who would have thought the Dr. Spencer Hotchner would follow in his father's footsteps?"

"Just like John Addams, John Quincy Adams, George H.W. Bush, and George Bush." Élise beams at Spencer. "How's Georgetown U's top geneticist?"

"Everything's going great at Georgetown."

"And your buns in the oven?" Élise points out Maeve's pregnant belly.

Maeve and Bobby chuckled, "They're kicking. The same as your buns?"

Spencer rubs Élise's belly, "Kickin' loud and proud. We need to get together more often."

"True, but then again, we got together last week with our children's playdates. And yet, it just seems as if we're so busy with our own lives."

"Tell me about it. I mean, you, Élise, helped franchised your parents' bakery-café during your years at Harvard and now there are over a thousand locations all over the country."

"President and CEO Emily Prentiss and I are discussing franchising LW's Place internationally."

"I hope you take a breather in between there, First Lady." Maeve lightly suggested. "With Stephen Aaron and Anastasia Tara, not to mention the babies on the ways, you also have your projects tackling education, childhood obesity, mental health especially to children who have lost their parents…"

"And autism, creative arts, and drug addiction," Élise adds on.

"You have your hands full there."

"We make it work," Spencer said. "I know you two do with BJ and Fiona."

"True." Bobby nods his head in agreeance.

"Their Uncle Rossi watching them and their Technical FBI Analyst Auntie Garcia spoils them with presents. "Élise said.

"Mmm-hmm."

Bobby is still noting the Secret Service agents in the room, "I'm sure you two don't really miss having the Secret Service following your every move, huh?"

"We've gotten used to it." Élise shrugged.

"Especially when we ditched them once or twice while we were in university…" Spencer chuckles.

"Ah, those were the days."

"At least we don't have to worry about Princess Jennifer Jareau."

"Damn straight," Élise agreed. "Especially when she showed up at your Inauguration and kisses you on the lips without giving a damn about Stephan, Anastasia and I being by your side."

"At least you showed her by clocking her in the face." Maeve chuckles.

"That was after she slapped me." Spencer motioned.

"Still, even if that didn't happen, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't. Rumor has it that a month into her new boarding school in New Orleans, she got knocked up by some guy named Will LaMontagne Jr and now they have a 20-year old son, Henry."

Élise's jaw dropped, "Seriously?"

"Yeah-yeah. And another thing…"

"Oh, who cares, babe? As I said, we don't have to worry about her." Maeve said.

"The same with Cat Adams-Barnes, Mary Meadows-Barnes, and last and definitely the least, my dear ex-stepmother not-so-dearest in federal prison for the rest of their miserable lives. I wished they gone to hell instead, but…" Élise shrugged as she was fine either way. "You want to dance, Mr. President?"

"Why, yes I would love to, First Lady."

"So, they lived happily ever after?" Anastasia asked.

Élise smiled, "Yes, they did."

"And all those meanies got what they deserved?"

"Indeed, they did." Reid nods his head.

RRRIIIINNNNNGGGGGGG!

Reid asked, "Do you know what the school bell means?"

"No…?"

"It means it's time for school, bright one," Élise said with perk.

"Are you ready?" Reid asked her again.

"I think I am."

"Good. That's good."

"Excuse me," Élise calls out a tall woman with dark chin-length hair and light skin, dressed in a floral dress and flats. "Ms. Evelyn Cherry."

"Yes."

"We have your new student, Anastasia."

As Ms. Cherry crouches down to Anastasia's height, "Hi there, Anastasia. Nice to meet you again."

"Hmm-mmm." Anastasia nods her head.

"Come on now." Ms. Cherry extends her hands out to Anastasia. "Let me take you to your new classroom where you'll meet your new classmates."

"Wait." Reid stopped. "Can we…you know?"

"Give her a quick and loving goodbye?" Ms. Cherry figured.

Élise and Reid nod their heads. Élise placed her hand over her mouth, trying not to cry and for other reasons. Reid crouched down and hugged Anastasia with all his might.

"You're hugging me too tight, daddy."

Breaking away, "I'm sorry." His voice is shaking.

"Have fun, babe." Élise gently hugged Anastasia before shortly breaking free herself and started to cry.

"Why are you both sad?"

"We just love you so much," Élise said, wiping the tears off of her face. "And maybe when we pick you up from your first day of school, perhaps we can talk about an addition we will be expecting, okay?" Élise winks at Ms. Cherry, who winks back at her.

"Well, we better get going, okay? Come along, Anastasia."

"Bye." Anastasia waves at Élise and Reid. "Love you."

"We love you, too." Élise and Reid waved back at her before walking away, but not before repeatedly looking over their shoulders.

"Oh, my…" Élise was shaking.

"They say it's easier for children than adults."

"And they are so right." Reid said before asking, "And by the way, what addition are we expecting?"

Élise digs into her purse and pulls out an envelope. "Read it."

Opening it,

"You're pregnant?" Reid looked up to Élise, grinning.

Months later,

"Mama? Daddy?" Anastasia creaked into the bedroom of her newborn twin siblings, Oswald Frederick and Sarah Paris.

"Yeah, babe?" Élise asked before she asked again. "What are you doing up?"

"Storytime."

"Oh, you want us to tell you another story?" Reid figured.

"Can I tell my siblings a story?"

Élise and Reid looked at each other with raised eyebrows and smirks on their faces. "Why, yes, you may."

"What story do you want to tell them?" Anastasia asked as she approached them in their cribs.

"Cinderella?"

Still amused, "Why, yes, you may."

"Hey, Ozzy and Sarah. I'm going to tell you a story: Cinderella."

Élise and Reid stood to the side and watched in pride as Anastasia began to tell Ozzy and Sarah the Cinderella story.

"Once upon a time…"
