A/N: So for the next few weeks it'll be Thursday or Friday. Anyways Hope you all like this. It's Garcia's reaction and a little other stuff. Enjoy.
Reid flinched and covered his ears slightly as Garcia squealed. He just told her what he told JJ a few minutes earlier. That he was thinking of proposing to Arabella.
"Oh my god." Garcia said bouncing over to Reid and pulling him in a life squeezing hug. She had a huge smile on her face.
"I just hope I'm doing the right thing." Reid said softly. "And it's not too soon."
"Hun. You two have a daughter. You've been in love for god knows how long. It is." Garcia smiled. She turned, sat back down and turned back to her computers. "So where would you like to go? I'll get you reservations anywhere! Oh do you have a ring?" The women stared at him. Slowly he nodded.
"Ye-yes. It was... uhm my mom's." He said.
"Do you have it. Can we see it?" Garcia Asked with a huge smile.
"Garcia!" JJ exclaimed.
"What?!" She said innocently. "I wanna see it." Reid slowly pulled a silver round cut diamond ring with a sliver band out of his pocket and showed them. It had a round cut diamond on each side, and the band rounded it.
"I uhm... Just had it cleaned." Reid said softly again, cheeks going slightly red.
"Ooohh!" Garcia squealed again. "Arabella's one damn lucky girl." She turned to her computer. "So, again, where do you wanna go and when?" He sighed.
"You pick." Reid paused for a moment. "But somewhere romantic preferably." He said.
"How's next Friday at Le Louise?" She said. Reid nodded, then sighed. He realized how expensive that place is.
"We'll help pay." JJ said with a smile. "We'll call ahead and set up a tab." Reid looked up at her. It was like she read his mind. She was happy for her best friend. Reid smiled back.
"Thank you." He said, then sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"What's wrong now?" JJ asked.
"Now I need to go call her Dad."
"Spencer said it's a date." Arabella said. It was later after work. Reid had called and told her he was taking her out next Friday at Le Louise. Once Arabella told her two best friends, She was grabbed by them to go dress shopping right after work.
"But Abella." Sonya said, using the nickname Arabella hated. Arabella rolled her eyes. "He said he's taking you to Le Louise."
"How he got reservations there we'll never know. Or how he's gonna pull off that bill. I'm sure appetizers are like 20 bucks." Peyton said as Arabella looked at a dress. It had thick straps with an ombre effect from dark blue to light blue. There was also a very deep neck line. "No no no. That's not right." Arabella sighed, then her eye was drawn to this beautiful teal dress. It was simple and strapless, with a slightly ruched bodice. It had a silver sash and went mid thigh. It was beautiful. She took it and disappeared as her two best friends kept looking. Peyton and Sonya suddenly looked up and noticed Arabella wasn't there anymore. They went searching for her and found her in the dressing room trying on the dress. Actually she was standing outside the dressing room and looking at herself in the three mirrors in the center. Her face was beaming.
"This is perfect." Arabella said, as she saw her two best friends look up.
"You like the color?" Sonya asked.
"I love everything about it." Arabella said. She looked over her shoulder with a smile.
"Alright lets get it." Sonya said with a smile. They ended up getting a beautiful silver barrette to go with the sash, and silver peep-toe pump heels. Peyton picked out this silver sequined bow clutch for her and Sonya grabbed a pair of black feathered earrings with teal spots on it. Arabella decided she was going to wear the open hearts necklace Spencer got her years ago.
"Thank you, you guys." She said hugging her best friends.
Reid sat in JJ's office. She let him use her phone when she found who he needed to call to help avoid teasing from Morgan. First he called Arabella and told her, now he sat, nervous. JJ stood near him, with a hand on his shoulder, for support. He swallowed as the phone rang, tempted to hang up. But then a man picked up.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Uhm Hello Mr. Knight." Reid said. "It's Spencer. Spencer Reid."
"Ah hello Spencer. Haven't seen you around in a while." He said.
"I'm sorry." Reid said. "I've been working a lot. But there really is no excuse."
"Well we understand you're saving lives." Mr. Knight said. "But really you should come around more."
"I will Sir. Uhm..." Reid said, he was shaking.
"Yes?" Arabella's father said. Reid swallowed.
"There is something i wanted to ask you Sir." Reid said. JJ could see he was shaking. "IwantedtoknowifIcanmarryAra." He said rushed.
"What was that?" Mr. Knight asked confused. Reid took a deep breath and JJ gently squeezed his shoulder for support for her best friend. It gave Reid Comfort that he had support within his own "family", so to speak.
"I wanted to know if I have your blessing to marry Arabella. I had Ara and Ella move in with me, Since I felt the apartment they lived in previously was too small for the two of them. And I love them both to death." Reid was silent. So was Mr. Knight. After a minute he answered.
"Yes. You may." He answered.
Ok So Reid has Arabella's father's permission. How's Diana going to feel? And What's Arabella going to say? Reviews are more than welcome my little loveys.
