Chapter Four:

Reid was exhausted when he finally arrived at Jane's-their apartment. He kept trying to get his key in but all he did was scratch the lock. The door suddenly opened and Jane pulled him into a hug.

"How's Savannah?" she asked. "How's the baby?"

"They're both going to be okay," Reid said bursting to tears. "Morgan nearly died again tonight."

Jane closed the door and guided him to their couch.

"He was so reckless," Reid said wiping away tears. "I'm not sure if he is coming back to the BAU this time. He's been put on leave."

"Was he hurt?"

"Only a few superficial wounds. But psychologically the wounds run deeper."

Jane rubbed his shoulder. "Oh Spencer."

"I knew a piece of him was gone after his abduction. But I never imagined losing him completely," he said breathlessly.

"You won't," Jane said. "He'll always be there for you."

"But it won't be the same," Reid said as fresh tears emerged. "I always thought he and I would be there until retirement."

"Plans change," she said softly. "Sometimes for the bad and sometimes for the better."

"I still want to work there," he said suddenly. "I have been through horrible things and I have been shot multiple times but I don't want to leave."

"I wouldn't expect you to," she said.

"Even if I want a future with you?" he said looking into her eyes.

She touched his cheek. "Especially because you want a future with me and I want that too."

Reid let out a short laugh. "This is not how I imagined proposing to you."

Jane cuddled in with Reid. "Some things don't go according to plan. How did you want to propose to me?"

"With a ring at our favorite Italian restaurant."

"Nah, that is too normal for us," she said with a smile. "I don't like the circumstances but I think a proposal should come from a place of passion, not formality."

"I love you so much Jane."

"I love you too Spencer."

Then he kissed her.

…

There was a knock on Hotch's door. He went over and opened it. Jane appeared holding folders.

"Hi Hotch," she said brightly. "Since Cruz is on vacation I heard you were handling some of his duties so I volunteered to bring this down to you."

Hotch took the files. "Thank you," he said and the looked at her more closely. "That is a very pretty necklace."

Jane quickly tucked it in. "Oh it's nothing special," she said.

Hotch put the folders on his desk. "How long have you and Reid been engaged?"

She jumped at the question.

"Two weeks," Jane said. "We were planning on announcing in another week."

"That explains why Reid seems to be smiling more at random times."

"Do you think we should say something now?" she asked. "It took you less than a minute to figure it out."

Hotched looked at her. "Jane you're positively glowing. The team could use some good news after everything that has transpired recently."

"Thanks Hotch."
