Spencer Reid quickly hurried off the plane to get home. The team had been gone for only 4 days, and he was in a hurry to see Caitlin again. She hadn't answered a single one of his phone calls or texts since he left. Spencer was the first one off, followed by Morgan. Penelope waited for the team, like she usually did.

"Where are you off to in such a hurry, boy genius?" Morgan asked, stopping the young doctor.

"Probably home to see the adorableness that is his girlfriend." Garcia chimed in.

"You looked her up?" Derek asked, laughing.

"Of course! Had to make sure pretty boy here," she made a hand gesture to Spencer, "isn't dating some serial murderer or notorious bank robber. Actually, I had dinner with her on Sunday. No worries, he's in good hands."

Spencer faked a smile before turning quickly and leaving. He loved his team to death, but they were a bit annoying at times.

…

Caitlin Taylor was sitting on her couch, eating Pringles with a blanket wrapped around her, watching Americas Next Top Model reruns when she heard the door open. Her eyes darted to the door and saw, you guessed it, Spencer walking in.

"Hi." He greeted simply.

Caitlin threw the blanket to the floor, crossed the room and hugged him tightly around the waist.

"Hi." She retorted, once she had a grip on him.

His arms moved to wrap around her shoulders, holding her closely. They stayed like that for a couple of moments, before Spencer leaned down and kissed the top of her head. Caitlin looked up into his eyes, and in a silent notion peace was between them again.

"I missed you!" She told him, while pulling him over to sit on the couch with her.

"I missed you, too." He told her while she stretched her legs across his lap. "But I guess you weren't too lonely." He said, hinting at her Sunday night plans.

She smiled "You would be right, my darling. I like Penelope. She's very nice, and…." She trailed off searching for the right word. "Energetic. There needs to be more people like her in the world."

Spencer chuckled. "She is something." He agreed.

….

The rest of the night passed in a calming wave, and Spencer was thankful for that.

He woke up, and turned to fling his arm around Caitlin. He was used to waking up next to her, or cuddled with her. His arm hit the bed with a small thud. He opened his eyes and looked around the room.

'Must already be up' He thought, sitting upright. He pushed his hair back, and got out of bed.

Caitlin had already been awake for some hours. She figured she'd let Spencer sleep, since he'd been gone for a few days. She was in her art room, grabbing things she'd like to bring with her, and shoving them in her suitcase.

"Where are you going?" A sleepy voice asked from the doorway. Caitlin looked over to see Spencer leaning against the doorframe, his hair all messy, and his eyes looking tired.

She walked over and hugged him.

"I'm going home. Thanksgiving's in a few days anyway, and I haven't been home in a while, so I'm going to spend a few extra days up there." She told him, his expression becoming a little sad.

"I completely forgot to ask you what you're going to do for Thanksgiving!" Caitlin said, mentally slapping herself. She hoped he hadn't expected them to spend it together, she'd feel terrible for ruining his plans.

"I, guess I don't really have any. I could go home for a few days." Spencer told her. He figured he'd stay in Quantico. He didn't really have anyone to spend holidays with besides his mother. Even though he'd spend Christmas with her, their plans were limited, due to the fact she couldn't really leave Bennington's.

"Okay." She said simply, turning away.

"Wait a second, you didn't really have plans did you! Spencer Reid you are not staying here by yourself!" She told him sternly.

"It's not a big deal, you go have fun with your family. I'll be fine." He tried to reassure her.

"That is unacceptable, no! You know what, go pack your bag. You're coming with me." She told him, pushing him out of the room.

"Hurry, we have to leave soon. And we'll be gone for 5 days." She informed him before going to sit in the living room.

Spencer shook his head. Caitlin's spontaneous plans and actions still surprised him. But that's what he loved about her.

…

Here's this chapter! Yes, Spencer finally gets to be introduced to the Taylor family. I have no plans or ideas on how that's going to go, so it'll be fun for all of us (:
