Chapter 3
Morgan strolled confidently in to Garcia's computer den, followed by a somewhat nervous Spencer. "Baby Girl, sit down... And stay sat down please." Covering all bases so Spencer wouldn't get crushed by the all loving and knowing force that is Penelope Garcia. Gesturing for his young friend to stand next to him, he began. "Ladies there is someone I would like you to meet. You can only meet them, if you don't kill either of us..." His voice trailed off at the slight humour his comment brought to the girls. Wrapping a perfect arm around the slender waist and pulling it in close Morgan continued. "This is Spencer Reid" Squeeze of the beautiful man next to him. "My boyfriend... Genius boyfriend!" This earned Derek a mix of responses from a gasp escaping JJ's mouth, a small chuckle from Prentiss and Garcia sat staring wide-eyed at both men, to a 'I'm mad at you but I don't want to loose you' glare from Spencer. All three of the girls are baffled, until JJ finally manages to speak up. "Boyfriend?" he was gave of the same expression of questioning and confusion as the others faces. "Yeah, we've been dating 3 months, whenever you said girl or woman I simply said 'something like that' and I've never used pronouns!" adding the last bit more to satisfy Spencer than the girls. Prentiss was the next to speak. "So, this is why you said you didn't go over to a girls house last night, hug her then go to sleep."
By now Spencer had built up a little confidence and answered. "He, came over after work and surprised me, we hugged... for around 2 hours then went to sleep." The girls turned to focus on the young man. "Hug isn't code for something else is it?" Prentiss felt the need to ask. Pulling Spencer even closer to him and interlocking his fingers, forming a protective ring around him. "No! Emily, look at him! He's sweet, and doesn't use code words." The small man was blushing bright red. "What does Morgan mean when he called you a genius?" JJ's voice was soft and delicate and the small man felt he could already trust this women, looking up from their mid-sections Spencer answered, slowly. "I, have 3... Phd's. One in, um, Mathematics... Engineering and, um, chemistry. I have BA's in... Physiology and sociology... An eidetic memory, so... I can read up to 20,000 words... A minute and, um, I h-have an IQ o-of 187." Both of the standing girls looked at each other having a silent conversation before JJ turned around again. "How old are you? If you don't mind my asking." Feeling a tight squeeze from Derek, a smile appeared on his face. "I, uh, I'm 22" The two standing girls nodded at each other. "I would say you're a genius, it was nice to meet you Spencer, and I'm Emily." She said reaching out to shake the genius' hand, followed by JJ's hand. "And I'm JJ." With that the two of them left the room. Leaving Derek, Spencer and Penelope.
"What's up Mama? You are being awfully quite for, well you." Morgan gently untangled himself from his partner and walked slowly towards her. "You, never told me you were gay!" he voice was low and sad as she spoke. She sounded deeply hurt. "I know, Baby Girl, I'm sorry, it's just lately every time I come to see you the girls or Kevin were in here." When he finished speaking he wrapped his arms around the women and pulled her in to his chest. "It's okay chocolate thunder!" She said patting his back playfully, pushing him off. Standing and walking over to where Spencer was stood she looked him up and down. "You're pretty cute, and pretty!" she said pulling at his sweater vest. Morgan practically leapt the distance between them. "That's why he's my pretty boy!" Wrapping his arms around the small frame, pulling him sideways to kiss him just above his glasses. Garcia couldn't help but awe and coo at this. Patting the young boy on his shoulders she gave him a knowing look. "I give you permission!" she said in a serious but joking manor before pulling him out of Morgan's arms and in to her own.
JJ was sat in the empty desk that had never really been full, no matter how many times the BAU tried to recruit new team members, it always went wrong and they went to another team, or left the bureau. Handing JJ a mug of coffee, Prentiss sat at her own desk. "Morgan's got a boyfriend? That's still quite hard to absorb." Sipping from her coffee and looking at her blonde friend for the nodded agreement. "But them to are cute, you have to admit that much!" both of them nodded in agreement. Derek and Spencer returned to the bullpen, grinning from ear to ear before standing near Derek's desk. "If you don't mind me asking, why did you come here today Spencer?" A blush quickly spread across Morgan's dark face. "Derek left his phone and credentials at my place this morning when he went to work, I thought I'd bring them for him." Both girls were laughing deeply at this. Morgan was the kinda guy to even take out his credentials when walking the dog.
JJ, quickly got up and went to her office as Hotch came to his door way. "Morgan, work please?" he said in an almost hopeful voice before walking to Rossi's office. Sighing deeply Morgan looked at the stack of files waiting to be done on his desk. "I better get going." Spencer said quickly, before being pulled against Derek's side. "Princess, I'm just walking Spencer to his car." Quickly over his shoulder before leaving the room.
Hotch walked into Dave's office and could see the man really trying to think as he looked through files, from the class he taught. "Spencer, seems really, really familiar." Rising quickly from his chair and out on to the balcony. "Where's Morgan?" his voice drawing all attention. "Walking Spencer to his car." Emily easily offered in. "Aaron, ring him and tell them both to wait just outside of the parking garage." Reaching into his pocket for his phone, Hotchner completely missed Dave running out of the room. "Morgan, Rossi wants you two to wait before going in to the parking complex. I don't know why, just wait for him."
