A/N: I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's been so awesome and reviewing my story! I also wanted to apologize on how long it's taken me to update. I tried writing something about their wedding night, but my muse wouldn't cooperate, and I didn't like anything I'd written (except for the small part with Derek and Penelope that I saved). So it took me on a completely different path and I hope you like it!

"I can't believe they sprang a wedding on me last minute," Garcia complained to Derek. "I mean, I hardly had anything to wear."

"Yeah, how inconsiderate," Derek said to her teasingly. They were sitting at a bar not far from where JJ and Spencer had gotten married. "Look on the bright side baby girl, at least they invited us. They could have just gone on their own."

"Then I would have had to kill JJ," Penelope said, taking a sip of her drink.

"No you wouldn't, because you'd be too curious to know the details. You can't help yourself. It's why you're one of the best hacks around. Also why the CIA has you on certain lists…"

"That's not funny," Garcia said, playfully hitting him in the ribs. "This is why I hate profilers."

"Aw, baby girl, you hurt me."

"Yeah, well, your ego can stand it, gorgeous."

Derek just laughed at her before saying, "You know, I always thought there might have been something between the two of them, but I never would have guessed it was anything serious."

"So what do you think they're going to do now," Garcia asked seriously.

Laughing, Derek said, "What do you think they're gonna do now baby girl? Didn't anyone ever teach you about the 'birds and the bees'?"

"That's not what I meant and you know it," Garcia pouted, but eventually smiled. "You know Bureau rules: no fraternization between colleagues."

"Yeah, yeah, I know the rules," Derek sighed. "But they've gotten away with it for this long, I'm sure they'll be able to keep it up."

"Until the day JJ gets pregnant," Garcia said. "It'll be kinda hard to keep anything secret then."

"They don't have to say who the father is," Derek pointed out.

"Ok first, my chocolate god, remember JJ is surrounded by profilers all day. If anyone is going to be able to guess who the father is, it's the rest of the team. Second, can you really see Reid acting calm every time they get sent on assignment and JJ tags along?"

"Ok, good point," he conceded. "How about we let them worry about all that when it happens and for tonight we just forget about it. I'm out with my favorite girl and I don't want to have this ruined with thoughts of Reid getting JJ pregnant."

Garcia just laughed as she picked up her drink.

"JJ, are you sure this is a good idea," Spencer asked for the third time as he nervously straightened his tie, again.

"For the last time, Spence, calm down," she answered soothingly as grabbed his hands in an effort to still them. It had been two weeks since their wedding and JJ's parents were coming for a visit. JJ was nervous, but she could see Spencer was terrified so she did her best to hide it. "My parents are just passing through on their way to visit my brother in North Carolina. They'll only be here a day and a half."

"What? You told me they were just staying the night!"

JJ patiently said, "Spencer, you need to calm down. What are you so afraid of?"

"The fact that I'm meeting your parents for the first time and we got married behind their back," he said quickly, still panicking. "Did they even know we were dating?"

"Sure I mentioned you."

"Did you mention we were living together?"

"Are you kidding," she said laughing. "My father would have had a heart attack."

"And what about now," Spencer asked. "You think he's going to be unfazed that we got married without his permission?"

"Look, you've got nothing to worry about, I'll be with you the whole time. Plus, deer season's over, so there's a good chance my dad won't have his hunting rifle with him." He paled at her words, which caused her to start laughing. "Spence, I'm kidding! Daddy would never risk getting pulled over with a loaded rifle." Just as Spencer started to relax, she said, "He carries his .22. It's smaller and he can take it most places without people noticing."

"JJ, tell me you're kidding."

Just then the doorbell went off. "That's them," JJ announced with a smile. "Ready?" She didn't wait for an answer and made her way to the door.

"JJ, you never answered my question about the gun," Spencer pointed out nervously.

"Spencer, stop worrying. Daddy would only use it in self defense," JJ said as she got to the door. JJ took a deep breath, put a smile on her face, and opened the door. "Mom! Daddy," she said happily as she moved to hug someone hidden from Reid because of the door. "I'm so glad you're here. There's someone I want you both to meet."

Spencer did his best to calm down as JJ's parents came into view.

"Mom, dad, I'd like you both to meet Doctor Spencer Reid."

"It's nice to meet you," he said nervously.

"So you're the infamous Dr. Reid my daughter is always talking about," JJ's mother said. She was short, only coming up to Spencer's shoulder, and although her hair was graying, he could easily picture her with blond hair like JJ's. She grabbed him and pulled him into a hug, and JJ tried not to laugh at his awkward reaction. "It's so nice to finally meet you."

As soon as JJ's mother released him, he shook JJ's father hand. He was about a foot taller than Spencer and it was clear to see that JJ had gotten her blue eyes from him. "So we finally get a face with a name," he said, looking Spencer over. "Somehow I pictured you taller."

"Ben! Be nice," JJ's mother scolded. "It's lovely to meet you dear. JJ told me that you two had some news to share with us when I talked to her on the phone last night," she said looking at her daughter who had moved to stand next to Spencer.

"Mom, dad," JJ said, pausing a second to take a breath, "Spence and I got married two weeks ago."

Her parents stared at them in shocked silence for a minute that seemed to last forever to Spencer.

"What was the rush," JJ's father finally asked. "Did you to have to get married? You're not pregnant, are you Jennifer?"

"No, Daddy, nothing like that," JJ assured him, seeing how angry he was getting.

"Then why," he demanded.

"Calm down Ben," JJ's mother said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Yelling at them isn't going to do anything." She could how scared Spencer was getting, and she was afraid the poor boy was going to have a heart attack or something. She'd waited this long for her baby girl to settle down… she wasn't going to let anything ruin it. "JJ is dinner ready? All that time on the road has left me starving."

"Yeah, Mom, everything's all set," JJ said with only a hint of relief in her voice.

JJ and her mother headed towards the kitchen chatting away, but her father held back to talk to Spencer. "After we're done eating and the women are cleaning up, you and I are gonna spend some time getting to know each other," he said in a low voice before quickly turning around and heading toward the dining room. Spencer was frozen in place for a few seconds and prayed JJ really was kidding about her father carrying that handgun.
