Surprise! I am an insomniac tonight. Don't expect this to be a regular thing though. I have also decided to make my life more difficult by making changes to the last chapter to match up with the timeline.
Chapter Three:
"Savannah is going to be a beautiful bride," J.J. said while video conferencing Garcia on the plane ride home.
"I know," she said. "And I got a peek at bridesmaid dresses and they are not tacky or dated."
"I can't wait to see the photos," Lewis said.
Garcia turned slightly to get a better look at Rossi. "So are you going to Morgan's stag party?"
"Do you think he wants an old man like me around to weigh him down?"
"You're not old," all three said at the same time.
"I have a kid not much younger than you guys."
"Speaking of who, Morgan told me she's invited to the wedding also," Garcia said. "This is going to be a whole family affair."
"I was thinking of bringing her like a father-daughter event," Rossi said.
J.J. smiled. "Come on, we all want to know who you've been making those mysterious phone calls to."
"There is truly no such thing as a secret with you people," he said.
At the other end of plane Hotch was doing paper work while Reid had a book open.
Hotch approached him. "Reid is there anything wrong?"
Reid looked up. "No, why?"
"You've been staring at the same page for two minutes, you're usually done with at least ten by now."
"It is nothing, Hotch," Reid said.
"If you're sure," Hotch said carefully.
"Jane gave me toothbrush as a present," he blurted out.
Hotch was at a complete loss for words and Reid turned a deep shade of red.
"I'm sorry," he said quickly. "She pointed out that during last three months between cases I have been spending more time at her place than mine. She also cleaned out a drawer for me."
"Reid there is nothing to be sorry about," Hotch said. "Relationships are complicated and taking the next step can be a big undertaking."
"I didn't think things would be moving this fast," Reid said in a low voice.
"Sometimes it is hard to predict how a relationship will change," he said. "But if at any point it causes you too much discomfort, tell her."
"I will. Thanks Hotch."
He patted his shoulder. "This will stay between us until you decide to tell the team."
"I can't wait," he said with a sigh.
