Writer's block sucks
The Reids are staying at a Disneyworld hotel so its easier for Lucy and Anthony to take Bridget and Evan back to their hotel for nap time.
Wesley and Sabrina are Hotch's and Emily's adopted children and their biological father was the unsub who committed suicide in A Thousand Words.
Spencer, Clarissa, Diana, Bridget, and Evan were standing in line for the Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride when Clarissa looked at her three oldest children, "Who wants to ride with daddy or me?" asked Clarissa.
"I want to ride with daddy please," said Diana.
"Me too," said Bridget.
Evan gave his mother a sweet smile that caused Clarissa to smile at the sight of her oldest son having her husband's smile, "I ride wit mommy."
10 minutes later, Spencer was sitting in a Dumbo the Elephant car with Diana sitting next to him while Bridget sat on his lap as he listened to his two oldest daughters squeal every time Diana made Dumbo drop.
After the ride was over, Diana looked at her parents, "We must go on the Magic Carpet of Aladdin Ride next."
Clarissa laughed, "Let's get on then."
"I have to go potty," said Evan.
Anthony smiled at Evan, "Then let's get you to the restroom, Evan."
"Want to take the stroller?" asked Clarissa.
"Yes," said Anthony.
A few seconds later Spencer had Bridget on his shoulders as he, Clarissa, and Diana got in line for the Magic Carpet of Aladdin ride.
20 minutes later Spencer, Clarissa, Diana, and Bridget were on one of the carpets of the Magic Carpets of Aladdin ride singing "A Whole New World" while Diana controlled the carpet so it could go up and down.
After eating lunch, Spencer looked at his oldest daughter, "What are you going to do with Evan, Lucy, and Anthony?" asked Spencer.
"Go on the Nemo ride again," said Bridget.
Lucy smiled as she thought about having to watch Finding Nemo twice a day with Bridget, "We'll go on that ride again, but then you'll be having your afternoon nap."
Bridget sighed, "OK."
Clarissa looked at Evan, "What rides will you like to go on again?" asked Clarissa.
"Winnie the Pooh ride," said Evan.
Spencer smiled at his oldest son, "My favorite most favorite "Winnie the Pooh" quote is, "You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
Clarissa grinned at her husband, "My favorite quote is "As soon as I saw you, I knew that an adventure was going to happen" since I instantly knew you were the one for me when I first laid my eyes on you."
"I always think about that quote when it comes to you and our children," said Spencer.
After Spencer and Clarissa hugged Bridget and Evan, they allowed Diana to drag them in the direction towards Kali River Rapids.
45-minutes later, a soaking wet Diana looked at her parents as they got off Kali River Rapids, "I think I prefer the Grizzly River Run in California," said Diana.
"Why?" asked Clarissa.
"The hills that we went down on the Grizzly River run were more fun in California than here," said Diana.
Spencer tilted his head, "Since you love river rapids rides in amusement parks so much, maybe we should see about going river rafting along the Colorado River in Arizona someday."
"Can we, daddy?" asked Diana.
"We'll go when Ariel and Caden are big enough so we can go as a family," said Clarissa.
Diana looked at her parents, "Can we please get back in line?" asked Diana.
"You want to go back on?" asked Spencer.
"Yes, daddy," said Diana.
"After we're done with the ride, which one do you want to go on next?" asked Clarissa.
"I hope that we can go on the Expedition Everest-Legend of the Forbidden Mountain next," said Diana.
"I take it that you'll want to go on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Splash Mountain too?" asked Clarissa.
Diana grinned at her mother, "Yes, ma'am."
"Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Expedition Everest-Legend of the Forbidden Mountain," said Diana.
Later on that night Diana was on her father's shoulders, Bridget was on Anthony's shoulders, and Evan was on Clarissa's shoulders as they watched the nightly fireworks show.
The next morning the Reid family, Lucy, and Anthony were at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park experiencing the animals while Diana got to go on Expedition Everest-Legend of the Forbidden Mountain with her father again.
Later on that afternoon Spencer, Clarissa, Diana, Bridget, Evan, Lucy, and Anthony were at Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park where Bridget and Evan enjoyed the 48 inches and under slides and pools while a 50 inch Diana got to have the opportunity to go on rides like Summit Plummet, Downhill Double Dipper, and Slush Gusher with her parents.
Later on that evening Lucy and Anthony were taking Diana, Bridget, and Evan for the night so Spencer and Clarissa could go out for a romantic dinner at a restaurant in Orlando when a tan Clarissa who was wearing a knee-length lavender-colored dress that had a sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps looked at her husband who looked a bit tan from their afternoon at Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park while wearing a pair of grey dress pants a lavender dress shirt that was unbuttoned from the top three buttons and wore a grey matching suit jacket, "Are you having a great time during this vacation?" asked Clarissa.
Spencer smiled as he thought about the past four days in Florida, "I am."
"I can't believe that Bridget will be three in two days," said Clarissa.
"Me too," said Spencer before smiling a bit, "We've been married for seven years, eight months, and five days and we'll be celebrating the tenth anniversary of the day we met and our eighth wedding anniversary in 117 days."
"Me too, Spence," said Clarissa.
"I know that there were some people who were skeptical about us getting married when I was 21 and you were 15 days away from turning 21, but here we are seven years, eight months, and five days later enjoying a romantic evening away from our three oldest children," said Spencer.
Clarissa thought about the bad times in hers and her husband's life, "
"When we're done eating, do you want to walk through a nearby park?" asked Clarissa.
"Sure," said Spencer.
A half-hour later Spencer and Clarissa were walking hand in hand through a nearby park when Spencer saw a swing, "Want me to push you on a swing?" asked Spencer.
Clarissa smiled, "Yes."
A minute later Spencer was pushing his laughing wife on the swing.
10 minutes into pushing his wife on the swing a light drizzle started causing Clarissa to speak up, "You can stop pushing me, Spence," said Clarissa.
"OK," said Spencer.
As soon as Spencer helped his wife off the swing a steady rain shower started causing Clarissa to grin at her husband, "Please dance with me, Spence."
Spencer laughed as he and his wife started to slow dance in the rain that turned into a torrential downpour 10 minutes later.
A half-hour later Spencer and Clarissa who were both soaked from head to toe while there were a few spots of mud on their dress or suit entered their hotel room where Clarissa smirked at her husband, "You better get me out of my wet dress so you can see a surprise I put on for you."
Spencer grinned as he unzipped his wife's dress and felt wet dress pants tighten as he found a brand new lace red bra and a lace red thong as his wife's wet dress fell to the floor, "If I knew you were wearing that bra and thong, I would have skipped dinner."
Clarissa laughed as she started to remove her husband's suit jacket and unbuttoned her husband's dress shirt, "But we needed fuel to keep our energy up for the next few hours."
After Clarissa undressed her husband, she allowed her husband to scoop her up into a bridal carry and gently placed her onto the bed where they got some much-needed mommy and daddy time without their kids hearing them.
Two mornings later Spencer, Clarissa, Diana, and Evan were standing by the hotel bed that Bridget was sharing with her oldest sister at their Disneyworld Resort when Bridget opened her eyes.
Bridget squinted as she looked at her parents, big sister, and little brother, "Hi mommy. Hi daddy. Hi Diana. Hi Evan."
"Happy birthday, Bridget," said Spencer as he helped Bridget put on her glasses.
"Happy birthday, Bridget," said Clarissa.
"Happy birthday, Bridget," said Diana.
"Happy birfday, Ridget," said Evan.
"I'm three now?" asked Bridget.
Spencer smiled, "Three years ago I was holding you for the first time Bridget Mackenzie Reid."
"Why you look sad, daddy?" asked Bridget.
"I'm sad that you're three since you'll be starting preschool in two weeks. I also miss the days of Lucy bringing you to the B.A.U. because of you chanting Dada and wouldn't stop until you saw me or you constantly showed Evan a picture of me and chanted Dada to him when Evan was a baby," said Spencer.
"Please don't be sad. I will always be a daddy's girl," said Bridget.
Diana's eyes moved back and forth as she quickly did some math before looking at her little sister, "Even though I'm turning seven in 136 days, I'll always be a daddy's girl too."
"What did you do with your eyes, Diana?" asked Bridget.
"I was doing some math to calculate how many days until my birthday and my eyes just moved back and forth," said Diana.
"My eyes do the same thing when I'm trying to figure out a mystery at work, so don't be surprised if your eyes move back and forth when you're thinking too, Squirt," said Spencer.
"Really?" asked Bridget.
"You're three and already reading picture books and doing simple addition and subtractions problems," said Spencer.
"When I was a four-year-old preschooler and you were a baby, I was already doing multiplication and division problems," said Diana.
"Five times five equals 25 and 25 divided by five equals five," said Bridget.
Spencer looked at a grinning Diana, "Have you been teaching your sister multiplication and division?" asked Spencer.
Diana nodded, "Yes, daddy."
"Two plus two is four. Five plus five is 10. C-A-T cat. M-A-T mat. B-A-T bat. A-P-P-L-E apple," said Evan before he picked up "Good Night Moon" and read the first page of the book.
Spencer and Clarissa both looked at Diana.
Diana gave her parents a sheepish smile, "I've been teaching Evan addition, how to spell some words, and how to read when you two are working."
"I already can imagine how smart Ariel and Caden will turn out by the time they're two because of you four," said Clarissa.
"You don't mind that, mommy?" asked Diana.
"I knew what I was getting myself into when I married a genius," said Clarissa before smiling at her second daughter as she thought about Bridget wanting to wear her Cinderella dress on her birthday, "Let's get you into your new birthday dress so you can be all pretty for your birthday breakfast and there's a surprise for you at lunchtime."
Bridget cheered, "Yay!"
Later on that day at lunchtime, Bridget grinned as she sat on her father's lap and blew out the three candles on her cake on her own while Clarissa emailed the video she filmed on her phone to her oldest brother.
Meanwhile in Washington D.C. Hotch had just finished watching Bridget blow out the candles of her birthday cake and glanced at a professional portrait of Bridget sitting in a chair and smiling for the camera, "I can't believe that you're finally three, Bridget."
"Is everything OK?" asked Emily.
Hotch smiled at his wife who was holding a nearly four-month-old Sabrina in one arm while she held Wesley on her hip while knowing that Jack was currently spending time with his maternal grandparents, "Clarissa sent me a video of Bridget blowing out the candles on the complimentary birthday cake their resort's hotel made for Bridget."
"I can't believe that Bridget is finally three," said Emily.
"Me too," said Hotch.
Wesley thought about his new aunt, uncle, and cousins, "Will unca Pencer, Auntie Clara, Ana, Ridget, and Evan be home soon?" asked Wesley.
Hotch smiled as he thought about knowing that Spencer and Anthony were planning on taking turns driving during their 13-hour road trip so they're home before midnight on Sunday night, "They'll be home late Sunday evening and we'll seem them on Monday."
Wesley thought about the friendship he struck up with his cousin Evan despite being born a few months apart, "I miss Evan."
"I miss my sister and my three oldest nieces and nephews, but they deserve this family vacation," said Hotch.
"Why go bye-bye for a week?" asked Wesley.
"Last year your uncle Spencer got injured and he and my sister arranged this vacation as an award for Diana, Bridget, and Evan for being such great helpers when your uncle was on crutches and your aunt had Ariel and Caden in her belly," said Hotch.
"We see Mickey Mouse too?" asked Wesley.
Hotch smiled, "In a few years, your mother and I will see about taking you, Jack, and Sabrina to Disneyworld or Disneyland."
Wesley clapped his hands and cheered, "Yay!"
Sabrina laughed and grinned at the man she thought was her father.
Later on that night Spencer and Clarissa stood in each other's arms as they watched Bridget sleep in the hotel bed she was sharing with her big sister, "I can't believe that Bridget's finally three-years-old and will be starting preschool in nine days," whispered Spencer.
Clarissa thought about how sad her husband was about how fast their little girls were growing while she felt the same way about their sons and whispered, "I know that you're sad about Diana turning seven in December and Bridget now being three, but at least Ariel is currently eight-months-old right now."
"I know, but I'm sad about how fast our children are growing," said Spencer.
"Me too, Spence, but at least we both took a week off from our jobs so we can go on this vacation," said Clarissa before smiling a bit, "Even though Ariel and Caden are eight-months-old right now, I'm still planning on having us try for our sixth child in 2015."
Spencer kissed his wife, "Can't wait."
The next morning at 5 AM Spencer started the 13-hour drive that would take him, Clarissa, their three oldest children who were still fast asleep, Lucy, and Anthony home while knowing that they would stop for breakfast when Diana, Bridget, and Evan were all awake.
Later on, that night at 9 PM Spencer, Clarissa, and Anthony were carrying Bridget and Evan who were all fast asleep into their house while a tired Diana walked inside on her own where they saw Maeve, Stephan Gideon, Grandma Lydia, and Grandpa Evan playing with Ariel and Caden who were both awake.
"Why aren't you two in bed right now?" asked Spencer as he passed a sleeping Bridget to Stephan.
Maeve grinned, "We told Ariel and Caden that you guys would be home around 9 PM and they refused to go to bed until they see you two."
Ariel who was sitting up on her own grinned when she saw her father, "Dada! Dada! Dada!" screamed Ariel as she slowly used the couch to help herself to stand up before she used a coffee table to take a few steps.
"Oh my goodness," gasped Clarissa as she quickly passed Evan to Maeve and got her iPhone out and got it on video mode to film the moment.
Spencer grinned as he realized what Ariel was going to do causing him to walk closer and kneel on the floor, "You want a hug from daddy, princess?" asked Spencer.
"Aye," said Ariel as she took 10 wobbly steps into her father's arms.
Bridget who was now awake grinned when she saw her little sister walking, "Ari's taking her first steps."
"Daddy's so proud of you, princess," said Spencer as he gently hugged his eight-month-old daughter.
Diana who was now wide awake grinned, "I'm proud of you, Ariel."
Clarissa chuckled as she saw her eight-month-old baby boy scoot over to her as he gave his 'Hotchner glare' to his twin sister and scooped up her youngest son, "You'll start walking as soon as you get used to wearing a prosthetic leg in a few months, baby boy."
Caden smiled at his mother, "Mama."
A few minutes later Spencer and Clarissa were giving Diana, Bridget, and Evan each a quick bath before all three older children insisted on sleeping in their own beds while Ariel and Caden ended up co-sleeping with their parents.
