A/N: So for the next few weeks it'll be Thursday or Friday. Anyways Hope you all enjoy and thank you for all the Reviews. They show me you love me!

Reid woke up the next morning with Arabella on his chest. It was early but he figured he should get ready for work. Silently and slowly, he got out from under his love, and got into the shower. After 15 minutes, he dried off, got dressed and walked out to find both Arabella and Ella up, dressed and at Arabella's vanity doing their makeup. He rolled his eyes.

"I still can't believe you." He said. Arabella stood up and smirked.

"Why? She's not really putting anything on. The bushes she uses are brand new." Arabella said.

"But she doesn't need it. She's beautiful like Mommy." He said making Arabella blush. He leaned over to give her a kiss.

"Mama pwet-tee." Ella said with a smile. Then giggled.

"That's right." Reid send getting down to face Ella. "And you're pretty just like Mommy." Ella blushed herself and giggled. Reid stood up. "I gotta go. Love you." He said giving Arabella another kiss.

"Love you too." She said giving him a kiss back. "Hopefully see you tonight. Either way, call me later." Reid bent down and kissed Ella's head. "Bye princess." He said. Ella waved and blew him a kiss.

"MUAH! Bah-Bah da-de." She said.


Reid actually left early that morning. He had business to attend to before work. He walked into the one Cafe the he knew who he was looking for would be. He took a quick glance around. Spotting him, Reid made his way over.

"You listen to me," Reid said softly but harshly, leaning in. "Because I'm warning you once. Leave Arabella and Ella alone." Vernix looked up amused.

"My, my, Spencer!" exclaimed Vernix, smiling broadly. "Becoming a father certainly manned you up, didn't it?" He laughed at that, a full, hearty laugh.

"I mean it! Leave them alone." Reid said."I'm not joking with you."

"I know you are. I'm surprised at your change. It's- comforting that you're not the same little high school kid I knew all those years ago."

"I was 12 when I graduated high school. And that's what 10 years in the field does to you. It's not Just being a father." Reid said, eyes narrow. He didn't add that he's only known about Ella for about two months.

"And what makes you think I haven't changed in the last 10 years, also?" Vernix's eyes narrowed. He pulled his long silver hair out of the left side of his face, only to reveal a biotic prostectic eye surrounded by lots of scarrage. He took off his right glove to show a massively-scarred hand and brought the sleeve up more to show the burns and scarrage going up his right arm. "You have NO idea what happened to me after I graduated. I changed." Vernix added in a snarling tone. If Reid felt queasy about anything he saw, he didn't show it. That was thanks to his job. he's seen almost everything.

"I don't care what you've been through. Leave me, my girlfriend, and my daughter alone." He said in a Commanding tone Vernix never heard before. It certain was out of Reid's character. Vernix looked shocked.

"Very good."He said. He drank the rest of his cold soda and got up, putting himself back to his normal looks. He turned to Reid. "I'm proud you've come this far." With that, Vernix walked away.


Reid decided to take the metro. He was fuming. But he couldn't let Vernix get to him. He wasn't going to let him. By the time he got to the B.A.U he was feeling much better. But he also started thinking on the metro. So when he got to the office, he went to his best friend, JJ. As he passed Garcia's office, he saw Morgan walk out, but he was being kinda secretive about it. Not like normal. Like he didn't want to be seen. Shelving that in the back of his mind to ponder later, Reid continued to JJ's office. The knock was returned by a quick come in. He opened the door.

"Hey Spence." She said. "What's up?"

"Hey JJ. Can I- uhm- talk to you about something?" He asked as he sat in front of her desk.

"Of course." She said putting down the file to give her best friend her full attention.

"I've just been wondering... Am I doing enough?" He asked. "With Ella And Ara I mean."

"Spence," She said comfortingly which always made Reid comfortable. "You're a good father. You're always there for her. What more can there be?"

"I don't know. We get odd looks when Ara introduces us. She gave Ella my last name. Yet she still has hers." Reid shrugged. "I guess I was thinking about making us an official real family. I mean I do love Ara." He said, knowing what JJ was about to say. "I always have been in love with her. She was always there for me. No matter what time it was or what She was doing. I've thought about this before. And I have attempted several times before. But I just get nervous and bail at the last moment. But I feel now, with Ella, it's the right time."

"Well," JJ said. "If you're serious about this, we'll do it. I'll even help you myself."

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Spence, you deserve nothing more than to be happy. Of course I'm sure." JJ said with a smile. "And you should tell Garcia. In fact we can go now." She said standing up.

"Oh god this is going to be interesting." Reid sighed as he followed his Best friend.

Ok So again Vernix is P. R. Gedney's character. So I'm wondering, Does anyone want to see how Garcia would react to what Reid's thinking about? Because I kinda want to. And I hope you do too. Review and tell me! I love ya'll!
