~SPENCER POV~

My eyes were trained on Bexley and Sloane as they walked into the courtroom and I could see that every one of the jury members had their eyes on them as well. Bexley hadn't been sleeping well since the judge had called the recess and I had been spending every moment I could to come up with a way to show that she was innocent and that her mother was lying through her teeth. I'd been waiting on today for weeks and now that it was here, I hoped that it would be enough.

Bexley didn't look my way but I knew that she could feel my eyes on her. She placed a hand on Sloane's baby bump and said something with a sad look in her eyes despite the smile that she forced on her face. Even if I didn't already know, it was easy to tell that Bexley was afraid of how this was going to turn out. The only thing anyone was sure of was that someone was going to be behind bars at the end of today.

The judge called me up to the stand once everyone was seated and I took a deep breath, preparing myself for whatever question Sasha's lawyer was about to throw at me. The man stood up from his seat and gave Sasha a reassuring smile.

"Dr. Reid, what happened the night that Christopher Ashburn was killed? We've all heard so much about this eidetic memory and we're assuming that you could tell us detail for detail what happened that night and it match Agent Hotchner's report on the crime as well as local P.D." The lawyer asked, a smug smile on his face.

I kept my attention on him as I said "My team and I went to find Mr. Ashburn on the account of him being a possible threat to anyone he came across, breaking and entering, and assault. We found him in an old cabin in the had all scoped out the cabin and it had seemed that he'd fled on account of us possibly finding out his hiding area. Ms. Caverly had said that he wasn't the type to run but we all assumed he'd escaped into the woods. I was on my way to find him when saw a latch peeking out from under the carpet that would turn out to be a hidden door."

"Your team fled to the woods and left you in the house on your own. No one noticed you missing?" The lawyer asked.

I shook my head and said "No, we were all too focused on finding him before he could hurt anyone else.

The lawyer smiled and asked "Or was it really just your concern he would run back to Ms. Kirrier?"

The judge hit his gavel and said "That's not important and Dr. Reid is not required to answer that question. The jury will omit the question from Mr. Andrews."

"Continue Dr. Reid." The lawyer I now knew as Andrews said. I watched him curiously and I could tell that he had a wicked trick in his eyes but I had no idea what.

"When I opened up the latch, I found that it was a basement and climbed down the stairs to see if I could find anything. I found a picture on top of a dusty old box. When I leaned in to look it, Mr. Ashburn said it was one of Ms. Kirrie's favorite pictures and that he borrowed it for the occasion." I stopped and let the image sink into everyone's mind while I waited to see if the lawyer would ask another question. When he didn't I continued with my statement. "He put a bullet in my leg not long after I turned around was about to kill me when Ms. Kirrier came in."

"What happened when Ms. Kirrier came in, Dr. Reid?" The lawyer asked. "Please explain the four bullets that the doctors found."

I felt anger spike in my blood and simply said "She saved my life from the man who'd made it his purpose in life to kill everyone she loved before finally killing her."

"She saved your life, huh?" The lawyer asked and smiled sweetly. "You're story is convincing but I have to wonder if any of this has to do with the fact that you two have been sleeping together."

The judge hit his gavel and said "You're out of line, Andrews!"

"Your Honor, I'm simply stating a fact for the jury to consider." He walked off after that and I felt my breath catch in my throat but stood up completely calm as I walked over to my team, unable to bear to look at Bexley's face.

Hotch looked to me and said "You're doing fine and we know exactly how to do this. Bexley's going to be fine but you need to stay focused, Reid."

"It's not going to do any good if you look like we've already lost." Rossi said and JJ simply but a reassuring hand on my shoulder.

Morgan walked over then and said "Son of a bitch is paid to lie, Reid. We knew he'd be good at it."

I simply nodded before sitting down with the rest of the team while they called Sasha to the bench. I felt an enormous amount of anger fill my body but I managed to keep my face completely calm.

Hotch stepped forward and said "Ms. Caverly, were you aware of Mr. Ashburn's intentions with Ms. Kirrier?"

"I was unaware of anything that happened. He said he'd changed and wanted to make up for lost time." She said, the lie came out naturally.

"Were you aware of the fact that Ms. Kirrier had been left money by her grandmother after she'd been out of her father's grasp for a year?" Hotch asked and Sasha looked at him surprised.

She let a fake surprise of "I had no idea."

Hotch spoke quickly as he asked "How much did Christopher agree to give you once he stole the money from Bexley."

"Five thousand dollars." Sasha gasped as she realized what she said and there were murmurs all through the jury. This was the slip up we needed and now we had it. Sasha couldn't even come up with anything to say as Hotch walked away from her.

The judge hit the gavel twice and said "Everyone quiet down. We'll have a fifteen minute recess for the jury to come up with the verdict. Everyone else, stay put."

Hotch walked over and said "We've done all that we can. It's up to the jury now."

I cast a look over at Bexley to see Sloane and Eleanor with smiles on their faces but not a single one on her's. She knew that this wasn't over but I could see that her mind was a million miles away. Eleanor squeezed Bexley's hand gently and this caused her to come back to reality.

The fifteen minutes passed quickly and once we were all seated again, I held my breath and watched as Sloane and Tyler held hands waiting on the verdict while Eleanor kept an arm around Bexley's shoulder, a protective look in her eyes.

"We find Bexley Valerica Kirrier… innocent." I let out the breath I'd been holding and I looked to see the rest of the team smile.

The judge spoke up then "As for you Ms. Caverly, you will serve time for lying under oath."

"Yes!" I looked to see that the excited tone had come from none other than Sloane. Everyone was now standing and Tyler hushed Sloane with a kiss while Bexley and Eleanor embraced. I could see a single tear slide down Bexley's face.

Sasha was lead away in handcuffs and began screaming but no one paid any attention. All I could do was stand up and made my way over to Bexley. I didn't get halfway there when she broke away from Eleanor. She ran to me and threw her arms around my neck before pressing her lips to mine.

I forgot about everything else in that moment and all I could focus on was the feel of her lips on mine. I wrapped my arms around her and held her close to me, looking forward to the fact that I would be able to kiss her and hold her for many more years to come. This morning's kiss wouldn't be our last and that was all that mattered. I would have her forever now.

"We'll have Dinner tonight to celebrate and you two had better not be late." I broke away from the kiss long enough to look back at Rossi and the rest of the team.

I laughed lightly before saying "We won't be."

~BEXLEY POV~

We'd barely made it inside our apartment when Spencer locked the door while shoving me against the door and pressed his lips to mine. I laughed through the kiss but kissed him back passionately. We were finally free and everything was perfect. Everything was finally going to be okay.

His hands went to the bottom of my shirt and he quickly pulled it over my head along with my bra. He but his hands on my butt and lifted me up so I could wrap my legs around his waist so he wouldn't have to bend to kiss me.

I began grinding my hips up against his and this caused the fire to spread through our bodies. I'm not sure when we made it to our bed or when the rest of our clothes had come off. All I knew was that we were now kissing on our bed and I could feel his erection brushing against my wet center.

He put a hand on my hip before thrusting into my body deeply causing us both to moan. I tangled my hands in his hair and he came back down to kiss me. We both knew this wouldn't last long but that wasn't what mattered right now. The point was that we were together and would be for a very long time.

I moaned as he increased the speed of his thrusts and his hands made their way down to my clit. The double sensation caused me to go over the edge and I dug my nails into his back while gasping his name. He thrusts into me a few more times before moaning and going still. He buried his face in my neck and I wrapped my arms around his as we waited for our breathing to return back to normal.

"I love you, Bexley." He said and I smiled as I heard the words.

He pulled back far enough to look at me and I couldn't help but smile. "I love you too. Always and forever."

He leaned in and kissed me again before asking "Do we have to go to Rossi's?"

"Yes, we do." I said and got up to get dressed.

He smiled and got up to get dressed as well. "I guess you have a point. We did just get the best news today. We were worried about what the jurors would say."

"Actually, that's not the best news you're going to hear." I said and turned around to see his confused expression.

He walked over and wrapped his arms around me before raising an eyebrow. I leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his cheek before looking deeply into his eyes. "We're going to have a baby."

"What? Bexley, are you serious?" He asked and I could see his eyes beginning to gloss over.

I looked at him stunned and said "Of course I'm serious and I hope those are happy tears."

He pulled me in for another kiss and kept his lips against mine as he said "I love you, Bexley. I love you so much."
