A/N: Sorry I'm late, I didn't get the computer until the weekend. Anyways. I'm sorry. No excuses. Anyways Uhm WARNING: There is language in this!
Arabella looked at herself in the mirror. She enjoyed her outfit. She wore a blue leopard print tank top over a periwinkle one, shorts and flat low top sneakers. She took a black see through short vest and put it on. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and clipped it up. She grabbed a blue plastic headband that was supposed to be Ella's and put it on. She clipped on a heart necklace Reid had given her years before and dangly crystal quickly did her make up. She finished and was just checking herself over again in the mirror when there was a knock at the door.
"Ara," Reid called as she walked out of the bedroom to get the door. "Can you get that? I'm changing Ella."
"Elbow deep in poop?" She joked with a giggle. "Don't worry. Already on it." She said opening the door. There she was greeted by a giant hug from her best friend Sonya. She looked at her. Sonya wore a corset with capped short sleeves and cut-off frayed hemmed shorts. She had on low top converse and hoop earrings with a long dangly necklace with pandas and roses in silver. He hair was in two low hanging ponytails.
"Hey," Sonya said. "You look cute." She walked in, followed by Peyton, who was still the stick She was about 10 years ago and guy named Tony Dinardo. He went to school with Arabella and now worked at NCIS in DC. Before that, Homicidal in Baltimore.
"Thanks. I was gonna say the same to you. And so do you Peyton." Arabella said looking at her other best friend. Peyton wore a pair of Short shorts that Arabella wished she could wear like Peyton and tank top. She as well wore low top sneakers since it was agreed that it would be best. Her hair was pulled into a side ponytail and she wore a pair of simple stud earrings. Spencer came over with Ella. "Spencer, you remember Sonya and Peyton and Tony." He greeted them.
"Ara," Reid started looking at his girlfriend. "Isn't that outfit, uhm, much?" Arabella gave a smirk.
"If I recall correctly, And I do, you used to love this outfit." She said.
"But you're a mom now." Reid said.
"Mama pwet-tie." Ella said softly, which made Arabella smile and glow.
"Thank you baby doll!" Arabella said.
"Besides, she's going out to be just Ara." Peyton said.
"Anyone does anything against her, we got her back." Sonya said with a smile. "Besides we got Tony here."
"Alright well be safe Hun." Reid said, leaning down and giving Arabella a kiss.
"I will. I always am." She said as She kissed him back.
"Ok enough mushy stuff." Tony said. Arabella stuck her tongue out at her friend.
"Alright." She said. "I'll see you two later." She Kissed Ella's head and the group left.
Arabella was standing outside in the concert field. It was beautiful out and she couldn't wait for. Before they had entered the field, she switched her sunglasses for her regular glasses. Although she had been hit on in the parking lot, She politely told them that she was married and had a daughter. Then guy then went to hit on both Peyton and Sonya. And Sonya told him that just because he struck out with her best friend, doesn't mean he's gonna get a home run with was in fact enjoying herself when she heard a voice from behind.
"So you must be Reid's lovemate." He said, making her turn around. She didn't recognized the man speaking.
"Excuse me. And how do you 'know' this Mr..." she said, put off. Already he insulted and annoyed her.
"Lycan. Vernix Lycan. And I can smell his scent on you. Very unique. And I'm guessing you had a good time with him last night considering you're tired demeanor and slightly increased pheromones."
"The hell?" Sonya said as Arabella slightly blushed. Quickly though, she shook it off.
"I don't know where the 'pheromone' shit comes from but if you know Spencer as well as you claim, you would know we have a daughter. And don't you think I could be tired do to the fact I have a 16 month old daughter?" Arabella said, her eyes narrowed.
"Well, I knew that was part of it, considering how stressed you look. What is your infant to you? Obviously, she means the world, considering how in love you are with her. She's your precious daughter; you'll literally kill whoever tries to take her. But what chance of that happening is far beyond what your inferior intellect could comprehend; trust me, you and your baby daughter are safe. Now then, I'm quite bored from conversing with a fool. Do tell Reid I said hello." He smiled and walked off. Arabella raised an eyebrow at him.
"Douche." She muttered under her breath.
"What the hell was that guys problem?" Peyton asked.
"And who the fuck does he think he is?!" Sonya asked, almost as pissed as Arabella. "I mean other than knowing about Ella, if he knew Spencer as well as he was saying, he would know you two are more than just 'Lovemates'. You two are an item." Sonya huffed. Arabella could almost see the smoke coming from her ears.
"Whoever he was," started Tony. "He's a fucking idiot. I have been in the field long enough to know families of special agents, like Me and Reid, get hurt."
"What do you do again?" Peyton asked. "Sorry, I kinda forgot."
"NCIS before that, 10 years homicide in Baltimore." He answered. "And it's no problem."
"He obviously doesn't know about how Haley died." Arabella said.
"Who's Haley?" Peyton asked.
"Haley was Aaron Hotchner's wife. Well ex-wife, but they only got a divorce because of job, not because they fell out of love. Anyways. There was an unsub who mad things personal with Hotch and he went after Haley and Jack, Hotch's son. Anyways the unsub, Foyet, killed Haley. And when Hotch found him, He beat Foyet to death. It's all quite sad." Arabella said.
"Is he alright now?" Sonya asked softly.
"Oh yeah. He takes care of Jack with the help of Haley's sister Jessica and he now has a girlfriend, who Jack loves." Arabella told her with a smile.
"That's good that he's doing well, but uhm... What's an unsub? I'm sure you told us once but again it seems I'm having a ditzy day and forgot." Peyton said. Arabella gave a small giggle.
"It stands for unknown subject." She said.
"Alright enough talk of all this, lets have a good time!" Tony said just as the music came on. The group stopped talking to enjoy. Arabella was jumping and screaming and singing along to all the songs. Afterwards, she went to buy a tee shirt. She ended up getting two and a baseball hat.
"Two?" Sonya asked.
"I'm hoping I can get Spencer out of the button downs." Arabella said with a smile as they loaded into the car.
"I thought you said you loved him in them." Peyton teased.
"I do but change can be a good thing."
Arabella took off her shoes and tiptoed into the house and saw Reid sitting on the couch. She snuck up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. He jumped slightly and she giggled.
"Ara!" He said. "You scared me."
"Good." She laughed as she put her new cap on his head.
"So, how we the concert." Reid asked her. Arabella smirked.
"Awesome." She said jumping onto the couch from behind. "I even go you a tee shirt." She tossed it to him. She debated on telling him what happened with that Vernix guy. And there was some douche who said he knew you and was being all douchey."
"Who?" Reid asked.
"Vernix Lycan?" She said. "You know him?" Reid's eyes clouded and it didn't go unnoticed by Arabella.
"No." He said. Changing the subject she got up.
"I'm not tired and it's quite obvious you aren't either, so movie?" She suggested going to the cabinet. He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Sure." He said resting his chin on top of her head, which made her giggle. "What about that one?" He said pointing to "Gangs of New York", Which was one of their favorites.
"I'm good with that." She said.
Oh and to clear this up, Vernix, his character his name and what he says, is my good friend P. R. Gedney's character. So before you say anything about it, know that. So don't flame it because of his Name. It was my friends creation and it helps add a bit of conflict and friction into the story, which was needed. Oh and yes I know what Vernix is, since someone anonymously asked... If you have read in the previous chapters, I am a mother myself. So think about this, what does that suggest about the character...
