~SPENCER POV~

As Bexley, William, and I sat in the small restaurant, I couldn't help but notice how at ease I felt. I felt more relaxed than I had in years and I was a little disappointed that today would be our last day in Vegas for a while. I listened as my father joked about his business and Bexley quickly offered ridiculous suggestions about how to fix life problems.

It was nice to see her so at ease after all this time. I knew she was still worried about what would happen after we got home but it wasn't on her mind at this time. Right now, she was laughing and tangling her fingers with my own on the table.

"Spencer, I don't think you can do any better. You two complement each other perfectly." William said as he took a sip of his scotch.

I smiled and looked at Bexley, whose expression was one of pride and joy. "I know. I'm lucky to have her."

She smiled brighter before saying "I love you, dragă."

"I love you too." I told her and I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face as I looked at her. Her red hair was in a messy pony tail and her golden eyes were shining brightly. I couldn't help but wonder how much brighter they would shine when all of this worry was behind us.

"Dragă?" My father asked and I hadn't noticed that the nickname that Bexley so often used had been said.

She smiled and turned to my father. "It means sweetheart in Romanian."

My father nodded with understanding and took another sip of his drink. Bexley gently squeezed my hand and I looked in the direction she was looking in to see Hotch walking into the restaurant.

"Reid, Bexley. I was hoping I would run in to you kids." Hotch said and I couldn't help but be slightly annoyed at the kid comment.

Bexley simply laughed and asked "What did I do this time?"

Hotch smiled before saying "For once, nothing. I simply wanted to say goodbye before heading back home."

"We'll be leaving shortly ourselves but we're going to catch the plane for this afternoon." I said and Hotch nodded.

He then looked at my father and said "Aaron Hotchner."

My father held out a hand and said "William Reid. It's nice to meet you. Bexley said you had a hand in my son talking to me again and I'm glad that I get to thank you personally."

"Did she now?" he asked and Bexley shrugged.

"I give credit where it's due." She said and gave me a teasing look. I rolled my eyes and gently squeezed her hand tighter. She leaned over to place a kiss on my cheek before moving back and looking at Hotch. "So I guess that means that we'll see you all tomorrow?"

"Absolutely. Keep Reid out of trouble." He said and gave me a knowing smile.

She gave a teasing salute and said "Aye, aye Captain."

"You have been spending way too much time with Garcia." He said and I laughed at the truth in his words.

He told us goodbye and left the restaurant to board his plane after that. I noticed Bexley's eyes beginning to show signs of exhaustion and I knew that it was because it dawned on her that we would be leaving soon.

I stood from my chair and pulled her with me before seeing that my father had stood up with us. I smiled at him and said "It was good seeing you again. I'll be sure to keep in touch."

"I'll do the same. Good luck to you kids." He said and put an arm around both of us in a quick hug. We broke apart and said our goodbyes before we all exited the restaurant and headed home.

~BEXLEY POV~

I sat on the bed and watched as Spencer's packed the rest of his clothes and I felt sick at the thought of going home. Sloane's wedding was coming up in a week and the day after that was my court date. I wanted to have all of my focus on Sloane and Tyler's wedding but my mind was on the court date.

I felt sick to my stomach as I thought about it and wrapped my arms around myself. I tried to focus on the sound of Spencer's footsteps but that wasn't going to work this time. I felt the bed dip next to me and his arms wrapped around me to pull me close.

"It's going to be okay, Bex." I smiled at his comforting words. He had no way of knowing this but I knew that he'd considered every possible outcome and I hoped that the odds were in our favor for once.

I listened to the sound of his heartbeat and let him comfort me in silence. I wanted this to last forever and to not worry about anything but we had a plane to catch. So instead, I stood up and grabbed my suitcase before smiling at him.

"It's time to go. If we miss our plane, we'll have to stay here another night." I said and he smiled.

"Shouldn't you want to stay a bit longer?" He asked and I shrugged.

I kept my expression completely calm as I said "I still have to go over wedding stuff with Sloane and you know how she is. If I'm late, I'm not the only one in trouble."

He laughed lightly before standing up and grabbing his bag and suitcase. He took my free hand and we made our way out of the hotel.

Our drive to the airport was short and before I knew it we were on our way back to Quantico. I dared not to look out the window and was thankful when he'd taken the window seat. I had a mild fear of heights that I wasn't about to try and face today.

I pulled the mp3 player that Sloane had given me out of my pocket and put one headphone in my ear before handing the other to Spencer so he could do the same. I laid my head on his shoulder as Hunter Hayes song Wanted filled my ears and drifted off to sleep.
