Chapter 30: Changes.
Spencer and Max returned to Washington DC, using the same route. Rome- Amsterdam- Detroit- DC.
When they got their suitcases and walked out of the baggage claim area they saw a big banner with the message 'WELCOME HOME DR. AND MRS. REID' on it.
It was hold by Michelle, Sammy and Eloise. Max ran and hugged her sisters and nephew, then Spencer did the same.
"Welcome back uncle and aunt. I missed you" said Sammy hugging Max.
"We missed you too buddy" said Max as she ruffles his hair "we brought you a present"
"Really? That's awesome!" Said the kid excited "can I see it?"
"Honey..." Said his mother with serious eyes "they are just arriving, and I'm sure they will give it to you when they rest tonight" the kid looked down and nodded at his mother "how was the flight?" Michelle asked as they walked to the door.
"Great, there was a little turbulence but nothing too serious" said Spencer with a calm voice.
Max shook her head "I was shaking and he just mentioned facts about how an aircraft can crash"
"Oh really? Can you tell me uncle Spence?" Asked Sammy excited.
"Maybe later Sammy. Your aunt Max is still upset about that" said Spencer looking at the kid.
They reached Michelle's car and after putting the baggage in the trunk, they all got in the car and the older sister started to drive.
"Max. This week the Smithsonian called you, when they couldn't reach you on your phone they called me" said Michelle and Max looked worried.
"What? Really? What did you say? What did they say?"
"They wanted to let you know their decision after evaluate the 4 candidates" Michelle said and Max held Spencer's hand tight "they asked me when you will return. I told them the date and they asked if you could go tomorrow afternoon"
"Yes of course I can" she said holding tight her husband's hand.
"That's what I said" was the answer of her older sister and Max relaxed a little "now Spencer. JJ said Georgetown called you" the man looked confused "she said they wanted to offer you the courses. As I did, she explained that you were at your honeymoon so they wanted you to go tomorrow in the morning"
"Aww we were planning to move tomorrow my clothes to Max's apartment. It's bigger than mine" said Spencer "until we find a bigger place and I can move my books in there"
"But if you need help Spencer. Tomorrow we can help" said Eloise "my first class is after lunch tomorrow so I can take my dad there"
"That would be so nice. Thank you Eloise" said him at the younger sister of his wife.
After that the rest of the ride was quiet. Sammy was playing with his mom's phone, Max and Spencer were watching outside the window and the two sisters were listening to the music on the radio.
When they arrived to Max's apartment the couple got out and got their baggage out. They said their goodnight to the three people, Spencer handed Eloise the keys of his apartment then, they went to her apartment and walked in.
They unpacked their clothes to sleep and even with the jet lag, they were too tired to feel it's effects.
OOooOOooOO
The next day Spencer woke up earlier and got out their clothes and put in the washing machine some of them while he was getting ready to go to his new job.
Her classes will be later so he let her sleep some more minutes. Just when he was ready to leave he woke her up.
"Why didn't you wake me earlier?" She asked rubbing her eyes.
"I wanted you to rest some more. See you later and we can talk about what the Smithsonian said"
"I'm nervous. What if they don't hire me?"
"Then they will be stupid for losing such a wonderful woman" she blushed and kissed him softly.
"Have a good day Spence. Keep me posted" she said smiling.
"You too" he smiled back and he left to the university.
Spencer's car was at his apartment so he will go to the university in a taxi.
When he arrived, he walked to the office of the man he always talk with.
"Good morning, I'm here to talk with Mr Martin"
The woman at the reception nodded "your name sir...?"
"I'm Dr. Spencer Reid" the woman tapped his name on the computer.
"Floor three, go to the right, the office at the end" he nodded and walked there.
He walked there looking around. He liked this place and was excited about working here as a teacher.
When he reached the office he knocked the door and waited until the voice of Mr. Martin said "come in, please"
Spencer walked in "good morning sir" he smiled at the man, he was a man in his late sixties and fat body, with white hair, he had glasses.
"Dr. Reidp! Good morning" the old man stood up to shake his hand.
Spencer shook his hand gently "it's good to see you again, sir"
"Same here boy. Please have a seat" he pointed to a chair then he sat down and so did Spencer "congratulations, Agent Jareau told me you just got married"
"Thank you. Yeah it was a week ago and I still can't believe it" he said with a little laugh.
"Hope everything end up well for you. I already signed my fourth divorce" he said a little sad.
"Oh I'm sorry"
"It's ok boy. I will move on, as always" he said with a smile that Spencer noted forced but did not say anything "anyway, thanks for coming Dr. Reid. As you know we will need you to start this April so here are the subject we need you to teach" he handed him a piece of paper "Forensic psychology, geo profile and we opened a little course where we would like you to explain how to profile someone. The classes will be Mondays and Wednesdays and those courses will be an hour on Fridays. Is it ok?"
Spencer nodded "you know I'm also working part time at the FBI, right?" He nodded "this schedule will make it hard"
"Oh, but it's not all day. You will have the rest of the day to go to your other job"
"Sir, if you move two of them? For example, forensic psychology and geo profile to one day? It could be helpful"
"I will see what I can do" said the man checking the other schedules "I will let you know this afternoon" Spencer nodded ready to leave when the man in front of him talked again "one more thing. Do you need a place to live? Because the university has some houses for the teachers. Mostly for people who have to move from another state, but right now we have a free house because Dr. Flinch left to Florida" he looked at Spencer "I'm sure you and your wife will have to find somewhere to live so maybe it can work for you"
"That would be perfect for us, we were indeep planning to look for a house" the man in front of Spencer nodded happy.
"Perfect then... You can move tomorrow if you want" he handed the keys "and I will call you today during the day ok?"
"Yes and thank you sir" Spencer shook his hand again after stood up and walked out the office.
He smiled looking at the keys and decided to check that house. It was close to the building he will work. They were finishing the painting in the house and clean the rooms that were already painted.
They told him that by tomorrow afternoon it will be ready. Spencer smiled and nodded at the people who were working there.
After that he went back to his apartment where Eloise and Don were getting his clothes in suitcases.
"Good morning Don and Eloise" he said walking in "how are you doing?"
"Oh hey Spencer, we are almost done here" said Don "you have a lot of suits"
Spencer laughed "yeah I have been working as an FBI agent for fifteen years so needed lot of suits"
He helped them with the suitcases and moved thembto his car. Then they drink coffee and he told them what happened and that they offered him a house and that they will move tomorrow.
Both congratulate him then they drove back to Max apartment and Spencer decided to call to his friends and asked if they could help him to move in his new home, and they were all accepted.
Spencer went to the Smithsonian waiting for Max. She must be there already so he walked around the area.
Thirty minutes later Max walked out and she looked at Spencer, she was holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms.
He walked to her "hey" he could not read her expressions "how was it?" He asked.
She looked up at him and her poker face morphed into a big smile "I got the job!" She scream hugging him "I will start next week"
He hugged her tight "congratulations sweetheart! I'm so proud of you and I told you, you will get it" he smiled at her.
"Thank you babe, and what about you?" He explained everything that happened there "ok so we have a house?" He nodded "that's awesome. And do you think they will change your schedule?"
"I think so, but let's see because if they don't I might have to change my status at the FBI. And definitely leave the field" they walked to buy a coffee to celebrate "and those flowers?"
"Well these are as a present for my marriage" she smirked "and of course for be their new employee"
"That's so sweet of them" they bought coffees and donuts.
"Yeah I'm agree" they continue to talk and then the university called Spencer and they said they could not change his schedule.
Which make him consider his role in the FBI as a field agent. They will wait to talk to Prentiss about it.
The next day they moved to the new house and Spencer asked Prentiss to have a meeting with her the next day.
Their house decoration was a mix of Spencer and Max's styles which make it look weird but great at the same time, just like their relationship.
Max and Spencer gave each other their souvenirs then they sent Hotch, Jack, Morgan and his family theirs.
The next day Max has to talk with the principal that she found a new job. They asked her to stay until the end of the school year but part time, and she accepted.
Spencer also talked with Emily and she understood what was happening, she told him it was ok if he decided to quit to be a field agent.
