Thanks for the support!
Chapter Twenty-Seven:
Two Years Later:
Reid cleared off his desk of paperwork. He wanted the person who was taking his place for two weeks to have space to work. Marci watched him.
"Heading out?" she asked.
"Yes," he said. "Is there anything I can say to change your mind?"
"Nope," she said. "It is a day celebrate with your DC family, not here."
"Even though you're the reason I'm here to begin with?" he said. "In New York working on white collar crimes?"
"You're here because, everyone else saw a PR disaster where I saw a terrific opportunity. I watched the show for fun and then when you came on, I watched to see if you would fit in my team."
He offered a hand. "Thank you for everything Marci."
She shook it. "I'll see you in a couple weeks."
…
The wedding was held on an estate Bella's uncle owned. It had views of the water. Despite the number of stars at the wedding, Lila, her husband, Leah and her fiancé, the wedding was relatively low-key. Faye and Macy had also been invited. Then, it was only Bella's family, Reid's parents, and the family of everyone who worked at the BAU in the last four years. Hotch had emerged from witness protection with Jack, a wife, and a stepchild two months before the ceremony.
Bella looked radiant in her wedding gown, one that was different from the one he first saw her in. Morgan was his best man. Her sister Gail, J.J., Garcia, and Prentiss were bridesmaids dressed is short purple dresses. She carried a bouget of wild flowers. She was more stunning that she had ever seen her.
Many happy tears were shed as vows were exchanged and toasts were given. They danced to a song from Beethoven, then a song about love from the John Legend. He danced to a song from Bob Dylan with his mother. It was truly a night to remember.
Macy took a seat next to Faye while Cal got something to drink.
"Well, we did it," Macy said. "Or you did it."
"I can't believe it either," Faye said dreamily. "Reid got his happily ever after."
"Between him and Halia, our success rate has risen to forty-two percent."
"Reid did more for our show than we could have ever imagined," Faye said.
Macy raised her glass.
"To finding love for Spencer and Bella."
"Cheers," Faye said as they clinked glasses.
THE END
Author's Note:
THANK YOU for all the terrific support! I have no idea why I chose to write this story but I'm glad I did. It is one of my most-reviewed stories and I can't thank all of you enough. If there one thing I wish I could have squeezed in it would be that Leah went to school to get an associate's degree in business. But here I am doing it now. This has been a lot of fun and I can't wait to see what I come up with next.
