Disclaimer: I own nothing of Criminal Minds, only my own characters.

A/N: Here we go with my last chapter! It's my last so its extra long. Lots of laughs and such. It's going to be great and I know you'll love it. If you don't tell me and I will personally apologize. Have fun!

"I look ridiculous," Reid said.

"You look fantastic," Alice said back, walking up behind him.

"I look like a dork."

"Why? Because you're wearing purple?" It was true. He had on a purple button don shirt and tie. Both of them had gone to the mall to find Reid something to wear to dinner that night. Alice already had a dress to wear and was trying to get something for him that matched. Reid however didn't think this was a good idea.

"Yes. I never wear purple. I feel like a…skinny Barney."

She laughed."A skinney Barney? That's one I haven't heard. Beside you're not wearing green. Barney has green polka dots. And you have that sexy purple scarf you always wear."

"That's different."

"It is not. And why is that purple shirt such a big deal when you wear that pink shirt you have all the time?" she asked.

"It so is not pink. It is salmon colored."

"It's pink."

"Salmon."

"Pink."

"Salmon."

"It is pink and you know it."

"Salmon." She gave him a glare worthy of Hotch's face. "Jesus woman. If looks could kill, I would so be on the floor now."

"Straight up. Now I'm buying that shirt for you and you're going to wear it and like it because it matches my dress. Give me the tags."

He rulectantly handed them over. "It is a good thing I love you."

"You know it, babe."

At the reister, the cashier remarked on how good Reid looked. "See. I told you that you didn't look that bad."

"Yeah. Says you and her. I don't agree, however."

Ding Dong, the door bell rang. Spencer Reid was so nervous. HIs hands were sweating and they were shsking slightly. And she had talked him into wearing that stupid purple shirt. It actually did match perfectly with her dress though. It was the same color as his tie, which was just a little darker than his shirt. It was strapless, and hung down naturally to her knees. He didn't know how women did it. Matched things up like that. He had to admit he looked great standing next to her.

An woman of about 50 answered the door dressed in a blue blouse and black dress pants. Alice said, "Mama! How are you?"

"I am amazing darling," her mother responded as they hugged. He noticed she talked in a British accent. So they were from Britain...

When the embrace was broken Alice turned to Reid and said, "Mom, this is Spencer. The guy I've been dating."

"It's really nice to meet you Mrs. Micheals," he said holding out his hand.

"Oh, there will be none of that," she said hugging him too. "Call me Judy. 'Mrs. Micheals' makes me feel so old."

He gave her a smile as thy stepped into the house. It was well furnished. The walls were painted a soft yellow. Reid was looking around at the room as Alice said, "Daddy!" and she hugged him too. "Come over here," she told him.

"Hi," Reid said. "I'm Spencer Reid."

"The infamous Spencer. It really is good to meet you in person. I'm Tom, Alice's father," the man said, shaking Reid's hand. He had an American accent whih meant he was born here which meant that Judy had moved here and then married Tom. Stop profiling the Spencer. You don't profile your girlfriend's family. He looked to be around his fifties also. His hair was greying and he had a round face like Alice, but he also had notcied she had her mother's eyes.

"Hey, Mom, are Justin and Danny here yet?" Alice asked.

"Well, Justin is but, you know Danny. He's always late," her mother responded.

"Did her bring Mia and the kids?"

"Yes, he did. They're part of your family too, you know."

"I know Mom. Come on Spence. Let's go meet them while Mom finishes up in here."

"Okay,"Spencer agreed.

"Justin, your sister is here!" called their mother, probably like she had done a million tims when they were kids.

"Coming Mom!" he called back. A man standing at about 6' with brown hair and eyes walked down the stairs carrying a little blond girl of about four. Two 10-year-old twin boys who looked like mini-me's of the man walking first came down behind him followed by a blond woman standing at about 5'5''. He only assumed that this was Justin and family. He set the little girl down and told the three kids, "Why don't you see what Grandma and Grandpa are doing?" All of them nodded eagerly and ran off in the direction of the kitchen. "Sorry about that. Hey sis."

"Hey Justin. Mia."

"Hey honey. How are you?" Mia asked.

"I'm good. You guys, this is my boyfriend Spencer Reid. Spence, this is Justin and his wife Mia. And those were his three kids, Tyler, Scott and Maddie."

"Hi. Its nice to meet you."

The sound of the door bell had them all walking back to the front door. "Finally Danny is here," Alice said.

"Took him long enough," Justin remarked.

"The party has arrived!" Danny exclaimed as he strutted into the house. He was just a little taller than his brother and had almost the same features. They only thing different between the two was their eye color. Justin's were brown like his father and Danny's were hazel, like their mother and Alice.

"Oh, get over yourself Dan," Justin said.

"Not on you're life Sport."

"Okay, not to break the insult war you've got going, but, Danny, this is my boyfriend Spencer Reid."

"'Sup dude. Hey, Alice, I didn't know you went for nerds."

"Well, now you know. And he is not a nerd."

"Actually," Reid interrupted, "I was calssified as a nerd in high school. And Morgan has classified me as one at the BAU. I'm actually pround of this title," he said matter-of-factly.

"I love it when you babble," Alice told him. "By the way, it's going to happen a lot so you all might as well get used to it."

"I think it's adorable," Judy said. "Dinner's on the table and the young ones are the only ones sitting. Come on dears."

--

Later at the table Spencer was introduced to the kids. "Hey, Maddie," Alice said. "Can you say hi to Spencer for me?"

"Hi, Spencer," she said timidly looking up at him.

"Hey, Maddie," he said kneeling down to her eye level. "That's a very pretty dress you have on."

"What do you say?" Mia reminded her daughter.

"Thank you Spencer," she replied shyly.

"You're very welcome," he smiled standing up.

"Come on. Food's getting cold. Let's eat!" Judy told them.

When they all sat down and everyone had a full plate of food Tom asked, "So Spencer, what do you do for a living?"

"I work with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit or BAU. We study human behavior to help solve crimes. We're more commonly known as profilers."

"And Morgan is your...?" Danny asked.

"Derek MOrga's my partner."

"Coolness."

"Wow, the FBI," Scott said.

"Hey, can we see your badge?" Tyler asked.

"Can we see your gun?" Scott added.

"Boys!" their mother shrieked. "I'm sure Spencer doesn't have those things with him, nor does he want you touching them."

"Actually, Mia he does have them with him," Alice said. "Ever since that incident with the stalker, he insists on carrying them with him at all times. Hon, do you mind if the twins see it?"

"Not at all," he replied taking his badge out of his pocket and his gun out of his pants. He unloaded the magazine and handed them his standered FBI issue weapon and ID. The boys looked at them both in awe.

"Wow," Tyler said. "It's heavy."

"You get used to it."

Dinner went by in a flash and while they had a slight problem with the topic of Reid's parents, but Alice covered for him. She knew he didn't want eeveryone to know and she simply told them that she lived in Vegas. They didn't need to know anyway. At least not yet.

Maddie had chatted Spencer's ear off during dinner and afterwards she wanted him to play with her. He accepted the offer and hse pulled him into the living room. "You may just lose your man to Maddie," her mother joked.

Alie walked into the door to the living room to find Spencer and Maddie playing on the floor. Justin came up behind her and said, "Wow. I've never seen her connect with someone so fast."

"You know when I told him you had kids, he sort of freaked out," Alice told him. "He told me he wasn't good with kids. He said he figured it out on the first couple of days on the job and hasn't talked to kids during cases since. When Hotch asks him to, he talks him out of it. Said his friends at the FBI called it the 'Reid Effect' and that it happened with animals too. I told him things could change and he didn't believe me. I guess I was right."

"That's kinda hard to believe he wasn't always good with kids. He's a natural," Justin said. He looked at her. "Something else is going on up there. I can tell by the look on your face. What is it?"

"Nothing," she lied

"Come on," he said. "I may not be an FBI profiler, but I am your big brother. And I should know after 24 years when something is on your mind. Spill."

She hesitated then said, "Well, if he's like that with Maddie, I just sort of wondered what he'd be like with his own. Kids, I mean. Would he be as good? Or better?"

"You have fallen for him hard," he said.

"How can you tell?" Alice asked with eyebrows raised.

"Well, every time you look at him there's glint in your eye I have never seen before. You adore him and hang on every word that comes out of his mouth. He's fallen for you too. It's almost the same with him."

"Wow. You could be a profiler," Alice told him.

"Nah. I'm just a good brother. Hey, look at me." She turned. "If this really is as serious as I think it is, it'll all work out in time."

She smiled and said, "Thanks J. I know." And they hugged.

--

The rest of the night was fun and full of laughter and after all of the "Good-byes" and "See you tomorrows", Alice and Spencer left. In the car, Alice said, "You really hit it off with Maddie. I thought you said you weren't good with kids."

"Well, I guess you were right. It did change." He turned and saw her just looking at him. "What? Do I have something in my teeth?"

"No. I just love you so much."

"I love you too, Alice," Spencer said, grabbing a hold of her hand.

I know. It will work given time. I can't imagine my life without you now, Spencer. I need you. I hope to God it works. I love you with all my heart, she thought still looking at him. She didn't take her eyes off him nor her hand out of his unitl they arrived at the hotel.
