~SPENCER POV~

I sat on the bed after getting dressed for the dinner tonight at Rossi's and watched as Bexley brushed her long red hair and got ready herself. It was one of the most beautiful things about her besides her eyes. Her eyes were warm like honey and sunlight and I fell in love with her all over again whenever I looked into them.

I couldn't help the nervous edge in me this evening. I had thought about the idea for so long and now I couldn't find the courage to ask.

"What's on your mind, lover?" she asked, a smile playing one her lips. As usual, she read me like an open book.

I stood up and walked over to her before pulling her hair up so she could fasten the simple gold chair around her neck. I placed a kiss on her cheek before letting her hair fall and wrapping my arms around her.

"I wanted to talk to you about something." I said and she laughed lightly but stayed quiet. "I don't want you to be my neighbor anymore."

Her whole body went stiff in that moment and she moved away from the embrace to look up at me, confusion written plainly across her face.

"Did I do something wrong?" she asked and I shook my head.

"No, of course not." I grabbed the key from my pocket and held it out to her. "I was thinking maybe we could both get used to the idea of waking up together every morning."

She laughed then and gently took the key from my hand, an unbelieving look on her face. "You scared the hell out of me for a minute."

"So is that a yes?" I asked and she closed her hand around the key before wrapping her arms around my neck. My arms immediately circled around her waist again as she laid her head on my chest.

"That's a yes." she laughed lightly and I felt my heart burst with joy. I lifted her chin and kissed her softly.

She tangled her hands in my hair and I pulled her closes to me, memorizing the feel of her body against mine. She was the one to pull away, a light blush covering her cheeks.

"We should go now because if we stay much longer, I don't think we'll make it on time." she said and placed the key in her jeans pocket, a smile spreading across her face. "How soon can I move in?"

"How does tomorrow sound?" I asked and she smiled brightly.

She hugged me again before saying "I love you."

"I love you too." I said and pressed her tightly to me before moving away from her and we made our way to my car to head to Rossi's dinner part tonight.

As we walked into Rossi's house, I couldn't help but smile as Jack and Henry ran towards us. Michael was happily looking around in Will's arms and JJ stood next to him. She smiled when she saw us though and kissed Michael before walking towards us.

"I was beginning to wonder if you guys were going to show up or not." she hugged me before looking at Bexley. "How's the right hook?"

She simply laughed and said "It's fine."

Morgan and Savannah walked in not a moment later and I could very plainly see that she had gotten off of work not long ago. She had dark circles under her eyes but had changed clothes and freshened up her makeup despite this. Morgan kept an arm wrapped around her and kissed her cheek as Hotch walked over to them.

"It's good to see you again." He said and Savannah smiled as she reached a hand out to him.

"Always." She said as she shook his hand. She looked up and smiled brighter when she saw me.

I looked beside me and noticed that Bexley, along with Jack and Henry, were talking with Garcia and laughing over something she was talking about.

"Hey." I said, causing both Morgan and Hotch to look over at me. Rossi walked over not a moment later with a plate full of drinks in his hand.

"Sparkling Grape Juice?" he asked and I laughed as I took a glass. Hotch, Morgan, and Savannah all took a glass as well and a knock sounded on the door.

Rossi walked over and opened the door to reveal Eleanor, Sloane, and Tyler standing in the door. He hugged Sloane before placing, a kiss on Eleanor's hand, and patting Tyler on the back. They all walked in and Savannah smiled up at Morgan.

"Sloane, come meet my lovely girlfriend." He called and Sloane gave him a teasing smile.

She walked over and held out a hand to Savannah while keeping the other hand on her baby bump. "Sloane Carson and it's nice to see you exist."

"I'll take that as a compliment and it's very nice to meet you." Savannah said and shook Sloane's hand. Tyler walked behind Sloane and put a hand over her hand that was resting on her stomach before shaking Savannah's hand.

"Tyler Hale, I'm her fiancé. Derek, what did you say to get her to give you a shot?" he asked and Savannah, Hotch, Rossi, Eleanor, Sloane, and I laughed.

Morgan however rolled his eyes. "We were neighbors and I was also very charming."

"Keep telling yourself that." Savannah said before placing a kiss on his lips. I looked to see Jack and Henry sitting with Will and Michael on the couch.

Henry ran over to me and grabbed my hand. "Come sit with us. Will you show us a magic trick?"

I laughed and couldn't do anything but nod. I walked over and pulled a dollar out of my pocket before grabbing a pen.

"Okay, do you see the spot on his eye here?" I asked and slid it over to the outer circle of the picture. "There's one here as well."

I pulled the pen out and their eyes widened when they saw that the paper hadn't ripped. I could hear laughter at Jack and Henry's amused expressions.

"How did you do that?" Jack asked and I smiled.

"It's a secret." I told them and they both laughed at the answer. I sat across from Will on the couch and he gently moved Michael to his other arm.

I looked at the little boy sleeping in his arms and smiled. "He's getting so big."

"Trust me, I know it. It won't be long before he's trying to walk around. How have you been, Spencer?" he asked and I could tell there was a bit of a concerned tone in his voice.

I looked down and asked "Did JJ tell you about the baby thing?"

He didn't answer but instead just looked a little sheepish. I had confided in JJ when I'd found out about how Bexley had felt about having kids and she had told Will. They didn't keep secrets so I don't know why I was surprised he knew.

"I'm fine." I told him and I truly was now but that didn't mean I'd changed my mind about kids.

Will smiled and asked "Do you want to hold him?"

I laughed and he placed Michael in my arms. Michael yawned and cuddled close to me and I couldn't help but feel a little happier than even normal. There was something about having a baby in my arms that just felt natural.

"Hey." Savannah said as she walked over and sat beside me on the couch. "Hello there." she looked at Michael and smiled brightly.

"I don't know how you do it." I told her and she laughed before looking up at me curiously. "I've never understood how a nurse can work for so long, go on little sleep, and still look ready for anything."

She laughed before saying "Nurse is code for superwoman apparently. It does get exhausting though."

Tyler, JJ, and Will walked over a minute later and I held Michael out for JJ. She carefully grabbed him and moved him so he would be comfortable in her arms before sitting down between Will and Tyler on the couch.

I looked over to see Morgan, Rossi, and Hotch laughing and conversing casually with Eleanor. I also noticed that Sloane and Bexley had disappeared from the room. I looked towards the windows and saw the two of them lying in the grass in Rossi's backyard.

"Is everything okay?" I asked, looking at Tyler. He ran a hand through his black hair before shrugging.

"Bex said she needed to talk to Sloane but that's all I got." He looked out the window and watched the two girls for a moment before turning his attention to Henry and Jack, who were play a card game at the moment.

I pulled my eyes away from them and relaxed into the couch as the rest of the group began talking, trying to ignore the pull on my heart as I watched Michael sleep in JJ's arms.

***So there's another chapter. Bexley sure was quick to get away from the little get together. What did she need to talk to Sloane about? R&R to find out. Thank you for reading and for the lovely reviews!
