A/N: HAPPY (late) STAR WARS DAY! Yeah, I'm doing a Star Wars Day chapter. It was going to just be filler, but I figured out a way to tie it in. So yeah, enjoy this special Star Wars Day special chapter of Detective Reid!

Read, review, and enjoy!


"So, why are we spending part of our honeymoon at home watching Star Wars?" JJ asked.

"Because it's May 4th," Spencer replied.

"And that's significant because...?"

"It's Star Wars Day!"

"There's a day for Star Wars?"

"Of course. I'm going to have to educate you in geek knowledge, aren't I?"

"I don't know, but there's a day dedicated to Star Wars? And why is it on May 4th?"

"'May the fourth be with you.'"

JJ's eyebrows quirked. "What was with the lisp there?"

Spencer laughed. "No, that's why it's on May 4th. 'May the Force be with you' and 'May the fourth be with you.'"

JJ suddenly understood. "Okay. Now I get it." Spencer put in the DVD for Episode I. "Normally I wouldn't put in Episode I, but since you're new to Star Wars, I'll try and sit through it for your sake."

"You don't like Episode I?" JJ asked.

"I hate Episode II more, but Episode I is damn near pointless. Aside from that is freaking Jar-Jar. God, he's annoying."

"Okay, so why watch Episode II?"

"The rest of the series will make little sense without Episode II."

"Okay," JJ said, now understanding. "So, shall we get on with the show?"

"Indeed," Spencer said as he pressed "play" for Episode I.


Two films later, Spencer was relieved.

"Thank God, we can get to the good ones," Spencer said.

"Agreed," JJ said. "Those first two were pretty boring. And you were right, Jar-Jar is freaking annoying. And what was Anakin and Padme in Attack of the Clones? Those two had no chemistry. They were just boring."

Spencer looked over and stared at his wife. "Please tell me that you're not just saying that to make me happy."

"Nope, I'm completely serious," JJ said.

Spencer stood still for a moment. "Yet another thing to add to the list of reasons why I love you."

JJ giggled. "I love you, too." JJ was silent. "And so does the baby," she said silently.

Spencer turned to look at her. "I figured that was what was going on."

"What?" JJ said, shocked at his reaction.

"I knew that something was different about you. I already had research on the symptoms of pregnancy in case any of my old female co-workers got pregnant. And you, my love, were showing many symptoms. Just as an example, your breasts are extremely sensitive. As my college health professor put it, 'just the wind blowing makes them hurt.'"

JJ's eyes widened. "You have a point with my breasts being sensitive. But at least you're taking it well."

"Definitely better than Anakin Skywalker." He laughed. JJ didn't. She just quirked an eyebrow. "Right, we haven't gotten to that yet. Well, let's get going. We have four more movies to go."

JJ smiled. "Alright. But then we celebrate our baby."

Spencer smiled back. "Deal."


JJ smiled and relaxed as she and Spencer watched the rest of the films in the Star Wars saga.

When they were done, Spencer looked over to his wife. "So, did you enjoy Star Wars day?"

"Yes, indeed," JJ replied. "Not just spending the day watching Star Wars with you. Spending time with you and telling you about the baby. This is great day. One I'm going to look forward to for next year when we can spend it with our baby."

"Speaking of which," Spencer began as he leaned down to kiss her. "I believe we agreed to celebrate the baby after we finished the movies."

JJ smiled and she kissed him back. "That we did, Spence. That we did."


I hope you enjoyed this special Star Wars Day chapter of Detective Reid. Make sure to leave a review and tell me how you like to spend Star Wars Day. Personally, I prefer to watch the movies in machete order (IV, V, II, III, VI), The Big Bang Theory episodes with James Earl Jones guest starring and centering around Star Wars Day, and Phineas & Ferb: Star Wars.

And yes, Reid's opinions on the prequels are my own. If you disagree, feel free to let me know.

Quick little fact: In the show's early days, Matthew Gray Gubler once referred to Reid as the "Jar-Jar" of Criminal Minds, since his character was deemed unrealistic by the show's FBI consultants. Thank God he was wrong.

Anyway, I'll see you next time! Bye-bye!
