I have an itch to write. I will rewrite this whole thing from if I have to as a result of Wednesday night, March twenty-third. Here is my interpretation.

Chapter Seven:

Two weeks later Reid was in Hotch's office trying not to look nervous. He knew what it was about but he wasn't sure he was ready to hear it.

"I have spoken with David and he has said he is officially retiring," Hotch said. "I have spoken with Cruz, and he approved my request to have you fill his position if you are interested."

Reid looked in the direction of Rossi's office. "I am honored that you would consider me for the position Hotch. Senior Supervisory Special Agent. Thank you."

Hotch leaned forward. "Spencer you have grown in leaps and bounds since you started here. You have proven yourself time and time again. It is not an honor, it a natural progression of your career as an FBI agent."

"Thank you," Reid said. "I'd like to talk it over with my wife first."

"I'll need an answer in a week."

"Okay," Reid said and got up. They shook hands.

As Reid left Hotch called out.

"Spencer, one more thing," he said. "Feel free to call me Aaron from time to time."

The name didn't sound right to Reid. "Sure, Hotch," he said.

There was a trace of a smile on Hotch's face as Reid closed the door.

…

"What's to discuss Spencer?" Jane said. "It is an excellent opportunity."

Reid was helping her cook pasta. "I don't know. What about the baby?"

"We already discussed that," she said stirring the sauce. "You promised you would continue to work to save lives to make a better world for the kids we might bring into the world. We have had dinner with Will and J.J. They worked it out and so we will."

"I know," he said as he sliced vegetables "So you really think I should take the promotion?"

"Absolutely," she said and gave him a quick kiss.

She added the sliced vegetables. "So my sister called and my half of the family has made their plane reservations. She said they want to know a name, a gender if our name is gender neutral, and who the godparents are. Are we in agreement on our choices?"

"Yes, now it is time to tell them," Reid said with a smile.

…

Three weeks later Rossi hosted his own retirement party. It consisted of only his current team and their spouses. They dug into a meal approved by multiple nutritionists and only the best heart-friendly wine was served of which Rossi only had one glass. There were multiple toasts to Rossi's health and future endeavors.

Rossi clapped in gratitude.

"Now I thing think it is time to look to celebrating the future of BAU. Aaron do you have any announcements on that front?"

Hotch glared at him. Rossi rolled his eyes.

"I know it already official, now it is time to share it with the team."

Hotch slowly stood up. "I am pleased to announce that Tara Lewis will joining our time on full-time bases."

There was applause and the clinking of glasses. "Next I am pleased to announce that Matt Simmons from the International Unit will be joining the team."

Everyone applauded at this announcement also. He was a well-liked agent by those who knew him.

"Finally I am pleased to announce that our own Spencer Reid will be take Rossi's place as Senior Supervisory Special Agent."

This time there was lots of cheering, clinking of glasses and the people next to Reid patted him on the back.

Reid stood up. "Thank you all so much. Rossi I hope I can live up to the example you set in your years in the position. Next I think, I guess, Jane and I would like to make our own announcements."

He sat down and Jane smiled. "We are pleased to announce that we have selected my sister 'Ally' Alison Caudell to be our child's godmother and Derek Morgan to the godfather. We have spoken with Morgan and he over the moon to be godparent to 'pretty boy's kid.'"

There were cheers and laughter. Garcia raised her hand. "I have shower to plan. Are you going to give me a color scheme or should I invest in both pink and blue decorations?"

"Did you know that boys were originally dressed in pink and that the use of pink for girls has only been around for the last hundred years?" Reid said.

Jane smiled at Reid from across the table and exchanged a meaningful look.

"It's a girl," she said.

"Yay," Garcia cheered loudly. "I can't wait to start knitting frilly girl clothes."

"There's more," Reid said. "We've decided to name her after Jane's favorite late aunt. Her name is Jenna, Jenna Diane Reid."

J.J. nearly dropped her glass.

Reid smiled at her warmly. "We liked the name for multiple reasons."

"Spence I still feel honored," she said.

Jane reached across the table took Reid's hand.

"I have four J's in my life now," he said.

Rossi clapped slowly. "Thank you kid. For upstaging my retirement party in the best way imaginable," he said and stood up and raised his glass. "To Spencer, Jane, and Jenna."

Everyone stood up together. "To Spencer, Jane, and Jenna."
