A/N: Ok now I start the whole Once a week thing. Even though this is like 24 hrs later than normal! SORRY! Well hope you enjoy!

Reid woke up the next morning feeling apprehensive about the day. He was picking up Ella and Arabella at the airport, then heading over to Morgan's for the barbeque. He was most nervous about that since everyone was going to be there. He knew that the team would love Ella, but it was how they'd react to Arabella that had him nervous, especially after the commotion she caused last month. Logically, He knew that they wouldn't think of that, and the only ones who saw it were JJ, Morgan, and Garcia. Sighing and shaking his head, he got out of bed and hopped into the shower. Within fifteen minutes, he was out, dressed and making himself something to eat. He left shortly after and arrived to the airport early. He plan wasn't due until noon. But as noon came and left, Reid started getting anxious. He knew Arabella wasn't a huge fan of using her phone in public with Ella and besides service in the air could be spotty.

"Flight 615 from Connecticut has been delayed." Said a voice over the intercom. Reid sat back. He knew he was getting anxious for nothing. He knew everything would be just fine. He sat there, trying to keep his nerves down. Soon he decided to get himself a cup of coffee. He finished it as it was announced that the flight had just arrived. Throwing the cup away, He made his way over towards the gate. Out came a flight attendant with a car seat, followed by Arabella with a toddling Ella. He walked forward and took the car seat, thanking the flight attendant. Arabella hugged him and Ella hugged his legs.

"Sorry we were late. The flight got delayed for I don't even know what!" Arabella said as Reid gave her a smile.

"It's fine." He said. You guys ready to go?" She nodded, Reid picked up Ella and they headed over to go grab their bags. Once with bags in hand, The little family made their way to Reid's car.

"Ready to go bye-bye Ella?" Arabella asked Ella as she buckled her in. Ella nodded with a huge smile on her face. On their way to Morgan's, Reid noticed Arabella chewing on her nail.

"Ara," He said. "There's no need to be anxious." She stopped chewing on her nail, only to shortly after, start scratching at her arm. Taking one hand off the wheel, Reid reached over an placed his hand on hers. "Hey It'll be fine."

"I know." Arabella said with a smile. "I just get nervous to meet new people. Besides, you're anxious too." She said pointing to his bouncing knee. She grabbed his hand and gave it a small squeeze. He looked over and gave her a small smile as he pulled into Morgan's driveway. Arabella gave Reid a peck on the cheek and got out. Ella sat up, wide awake, in the back. She smiled when she her mommy. Copying her mom, She put her sunglasses on when Arabella got her out. Ella squirmed to be put down. She grabbed her father's hand, well finger in her left hand and her mother's in her right and they headed to the gate. But when they got to it, Ella froze. So Arabella, deciding it was best, Picked Ella up, handed her to Reid, and opened the gate.

Morgan got up early to make sure everything was ready. Deciding that they can have a typical barbeque dinner of burgers and dogs, He took a couple packages out of the freezer and put them in the refrigerator to defrost. At one, his back gate opened and in walked Hotch, Jack and Beth.

"On time and the first to show, as always." Morgan joked and was met with a rare smile. "Hey little man." Morgan said to Jack, giving him a hi-five. "Hey Beth." He said giving Hotch's girlfriend a hug and thinking that it was nice to see Hotch happy again after Haley died. Just then Rossi walked through the gate.

"Even out of the office, he's still the first to show up." Rossi said with a smile to Hotch.

"What can I say," Hotch said. "Being punctual is a virtue." He gave another smile and a shrug. Next Blake arrived with her husband. Followed by JJ, Will, and Henry. JJ walked over to Hotch and they started discussing something. Lastly Garcia came with things her 'Little Ones' could play with.

"Jack," Hotch called to his son. He waved him over. "Come here."

"Henry you too." JJ called. The two boys came over.

"Now you two." Hotch said, getting down to their level. "There is a little girl coming. She is just over a year old."

"We need you two to watch over her." JJ said. "And don't get rough." they boys nodded and ran off to play. At a little after two, Blake looked around.

"Hey, Where's Reid and his little one? Isn't he supposed to be here?" She asked.

"He texted me a little while ago that the plane got delayed and that it was just pulling in." Morgan said. "They should be here soon."

"Where were they?" JJ asked.

"Connecticut." Garcia answered. "I got them their tickets. Her folks live there. Our boy genius was supposed to go with them but you angels got called away."

"I told him to bring Baby Genius and the Lovely Lady with him." Morgan said. Just the the gate opened and Reid walked through holding a little girl followed by a petite woman.

"Look who finally decided to show up." Rossi joked as they all got up to see the baby, who was clutching her father and resting her head on his shoulder.

"Sorry!" Said the woman. "The plane got delayed for God knows what reason."

"We understand gorgeous." Said Garcia coming over. "I'm Penelope Garcia." She hugged Arabella. "This is Aaron Hotchner, although we all call him Hotch, his girlfriend Beth, and his son Jack. This is Dave Rossi. Alex Blake and her husband James. Jennifer Jareau, but we call her JJ, her husband Will and their son Jack. And this chocolate God is Derek Morgan, and he is also the host of this fine party." Arabella shook everyone's hand in turn as Garcia introduced them.

"Hi." She said Kinda shyly. "I'm Arabella Knight and this is Ella." She said pointing to the little girl, who was still clutching her father. She put her arm down and both JJ and Morgan saw little white scars on her forearm.

"How old is she?" Blake asked.

"16 months." Reid answered.

"And she has her Daddy's smarts." Arabella said with a smile. Then she turned to Morgan. "Uhm, where's your bathroom?" Morgan brought her inside and showed her where it was. JJ came up behind him.

"did you see those white scars on her arm?" She asked Morgan nodded.

"Now lets not jump to conclusions." He said. "Reid would be pissed if he knew we were profiling his girl. And he just stopped being pissed at you for the whole Emily thing."

"And I really don't wanna go through that again." JJ said. "We'll just ask her when she gets out."

"Ask me what?" Arabella asked coming up with a smile on her face.

"What are those whit scars on your arm?" Morgan asked kinda tentatively. Arabella looked down at her arm.

"Oh." She looked back up, the smile not really wavering. "You see I have anxiety issues, really bad. And the way I used to, and still kinda do to, cope, was by scratching... and sometimes picking."

"Picking?" JJ asked, confused.

"Yeah. Uhm, If there was a scab and I got an anxiety attack, I'd just pick it off." She said with a slight shrug. "It used to happen during exams at school, started in senior year in fact, so as I was writing, I would scratch. That's why it's mostly on my left arm. I'm left handed. As is Ella." She looked at them with a smile. "Anyways, my anxiety is much better now though. In fact, as much as I think I've helped Spencer, he's helped me.

"Hey Ara." Reid called. "I can't find her bottle!"

"Excuse me." She said with a smile and went outside. JJ and Morgan looked at each other and shrugged. Walking out, they found Arabella sitting next to Reid while Ella toddled between the two, her bottle in hand. She started to get braver and head towards people. After a while, she put her bottle down and made her way to Morgan. With a glance to her parents, she grabbed his hand and pulled him.

"Woah Baby Genius." Morgan said. "You're stronger than your Dad." Everyone but Reid found it amusing.

"Hey!" Reid called to Morgan. He looked at Arabella who was giggling. "Ara. Not Funny."

"It is a little bit." She said. Then their attention was brought back to Ella, who pulled Morgan the short distance to Garcia. She reached up and took her hand. Then she brought Morgan's hand over and made the two hold hands. Now this had everyone's amusement, and was followed by a chorus of Awes. Ella looked around and gave a huge trouble-making smile with a crinkled nose. When the two tried to let go, Ella started to have a fit and made them hold hands again. This went on for a good minute and a half until Ella got bored. She let go of the two and toddled over to play with grass. Jack and Henry decided to join her. What filled the air was now the children's giggles. Soon after all that, dinner was served and Arabella began to feel accepted. Reid also realized that his worries were all just in his head. Nobody brought up the commotion, and everyone seemed to like her.

The sun had already set and the adults sat around a fire pit. Jack was laying in the hammock, dozing, while Henry lay asleep on a pool lounge chair near the group. Even after a long fit that almost made Reid and Arabella take Ella home, she too was sound asleep in her carrier between her parents.

"Ok." Rossi said. "I'm going to have to be the one to say it." He looked at Morgan and Garcia. "You either need to stop being so obvious or act on your feelings."

"What are you talking about Rossi." Morgan said with his eyebrow raised. He was clearly pretending he had no idea. But no one was fooled.

"We've all seen it and pretty much ignored it, but if a toddler can see it, you need to fix something." Rossi said. Morgan was left speechless. Ella started to stir a bit.

"I think we should get Ella home." Reid said standing.

"I was thinking the same." Arabella said leaning over and buckling in Ella.

"We should get Henry home too." Will said.

"Wanna go get him?" JJ asked. Will go up and picked up their son.

"We should be getting Jack home too huh?" Beth asked Hotch, who nodded.

"Jack!" Hotch called. His son looked up. "We're going." The boy got off the hammock and made his way over to his dad.

"Well thank you for having us." Arabella said. Morgan got up and gave her a hug.

"Anytime." He said. He then pat Reid on the back. "You're doing good Kid." He said.

"Thanks." Reid said, and he started to feel his cheeks burning.

"Next time, Dinner at my house." Rossi said. After saying goodbye to everyone, Reid and Arabella left.

"You're friends are really nice." Arabella said. "Why were you so worried?" Reid shrugged.

"So I have a surprise for you two at home." He said.

"Really?" She asked. Reid nodded. "Oh and can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"How would you like to spend a day with Ella?" He looked at her confused. "Like a whole day, just you two."

"Why?"

"Well my friends invited me out to a concert next week, but if you're unsure, I won't go." She said quickly.

"Who's playing?"

"Maroon 5." Arabella said. Reid glanced at her and sighed.

"Ara, you love that band. You'd be crazy not to go. Ella and I will be fine."

"You sure Spence?" She said. Reid looked at her with a smile. The only other person in the world who called him Spence was JJ. The pulled into the parking lot.

"Yeah I'm positive." He said turning off the car. "Come on, lets go up." Arabella got out and got Ella as Reid grabbed their bags. He conceded to taking the elevator as to not wake their baby. When they go to the apartment Reid lead her to the surprise.

"Spencer, what's going on?" She asked, still carrying Ella.

"You're place is way too small and i want you two to move in with me." He said as he opened the door.

"Oh wow." She breathed, taking in her daughters room. "It's beautiful. But you know she can't sleep in here tonight. She'll have to spend a few days getting used to it."

"I know." Reid said. "come on, lets go to bed."

Thank you to all of you. Every little bit helps. it means so much to me that you all love it so. Thank you. The next chapter is going to be dedicated to my friends, well the concert parts. the other half is Ella and Reid. Hope you like! R&R please!
