A/N: Saturday after the proposal! Lets see what happens. Thank you for your opinions on the Vernix idea.

Arabella was laying on Reid's chest, the next morning. She was content. She looked up at her fiance's face.

"Baby?" She said softly.

"Hmm?" Reid asked, eyes closed. His arm was around her and he was rubbing her arm.

"You know that we're gonna have to tell your parents." She said softly as she drew circles on his bare chest. She felt him tense up underneath her. She sighed. "You know we have to."

"I know, I'm just never... eager, to visit my mom. And I hate my dad. You know both of those things." He said pulling her closer to him.

"I know, but you're mother always loved me and we need to tell her." Ara said. "And your father does deserves to know too."

"I already told her about Ella," Reid said. "But we can't bring her. She's too young."

"I wasn't planning on having her there." Arabella said.

"Alright," Reid said with a sigh, conceding. "We'll go next weekend."

"Next weekend?" Arabella said sitting up and holding the blanket against her bare chest. "Why? Its early Saturday. We go today and leave tomorrow night. Or morning. Or afternoon." Reid opened his mouth to speak. "We're only going to visit your parents. Your Dad'll take like 10 minutes. And your mom would only be a couple of hours. It's not like we're going to the casino. I suck at the games and you're pretty much banned from almost all of them. Besides, we used to do this all the time."

"But now we have Ella." Reid argued. Arabella smirked.

"You said that Garcia said she'd have her all weekend." Arabella smirked thinking about how much time Garcia had spent with them and how much Ella loves her. "Lets actually go out. Do something. This is our time."

"Isn't that taking advantage of Garcia?" Reid asked. Arabella smiled and picked up the phone. Reid dived at her, trying to get the phone. The he did this, she got up and wrapped herself in the sheet.

"Hi Penny." Arabella said walking into the bathroom and locking the door. Reid sank on the bed. He really was using excuses to not go see his parents. As much ad he loved Diana, he hated it. He still sort of hated himself for putting his mother in there, even though he knew it was best for her. They could give her the 24 hour care she needed and he couldn't provide. But given the choice, he'd rather see her than his father. William left him and Diana when he was ten. He sighed, knowing that Garcia would tell them to go. After 10 minutes, Arabella came out of the bathroom.

"How long do we have?" He asked.

"Flight's in about 2 and a half hours. Tickets are paid for." She said sitting next to him. He nodded as they got up, got dressed, and packed. Within 15 minutes, they left the apartment.

Reid and Arabella walked down the Halls of the sanatorium. She held his tight and he was shaking. She squeezed his hand to give him comfort. He always got nervous when visiting his mom. They stopped in front of Diana's door. Reid took a deep breath as he peaked into the room. Diana was sitting reading a book. Slowly he opened the door. Diana looked up and smiled.

"Spencer." She said with a smile. "They didn't tell me you were coming."

"It was kinda a last minute thing." Reid said.

"Come in." Diana said, waving him in. He walked in And Arabella followed. "Ah Belle." Diana said, calling Arabella by the nickname she gave her. Arabella smiled.

"Hello Mrs. Reid." She said to the older woman politely.

"Oh come now." Diana said. "I've told you before, you can call me Diana." Arabella nodded as she and Reid sat down.

"Mom," Reid said. Diana turned her attention to her son. "We actually came to tell you something important." Diana stayed silent, waiting for her son to continue. "I uhm... I asked Arabella to marry me last night. I used the ring you gave me years ago. And she said yes." Arabella smiled. Diana was silent. "Uhm... mom?" Reid asked.

"Well it's about time." Diana said. "That's why i gave you the ring 8 years ago. I mean with the way you gush about her in the letters. And you have a daughter now. By the way," Diana turned to Arabella. "How is she? I'd love to meet her. Soon." Arabella smiled.

"She's a genius, just like her father." She said. Diana just smiled.

"And beautiful just like her mother." Reid added.

"That's good. Would you two like to play scrabble?" Diana asked.

"Sure mom." Reid said with a smile. They played for a few hours and left about 4:30. With a sigh, Reid headed to his father's law firm. Arabella knew this was going to be hard for him. They pulled up and took a minute before going in. They walked up yo the receptionist.

"I need to see William Reid." Reid said with a tad more confidence then he felt. Arabella squeezed his hand.

"Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist said.

"Uhm no bu-but..." Reid said losing confidence.

"It's about his son." Arabella interjected. The receptionist rolled her eyes but paged the lawyer, who came out within the second.

"Spencer," William said surprised. "What are you doing here?

"I uhm... have to tell you something." Reid sputtered.

"Yes? His father said expectantly.

"I'm engaged." Reid said. "This is my fiancee Arabella Knight." She stuck her hand out and William shook it.

"Arabella." William said. "That's an unusual name."

"Well I'm an unusual girl." Arabella said with a smile.

"Uh... also Dad. We have a daughter." Reid blurted out. William looked over.

"I thought you were raised better Spencer." He said. Reid's eyes clouded over in anger.

"Yeah. No thanks to you." He said and turned and left without a goodbye. Arabella followed.

"Hey." She said sliding into the car with him. "At least you did it. And I'm proud of you."

"You are?" He asked looking at her, his eyes rimmed with tears.

"Yes." Arabella said softly. "It took slot of courage to do that and I will always be proud of you." She tapped his leg. "Come on. Let's go to dinner."

Okie so this is Reid telling his parents. If you think I should put more history with Vernix and Reid, let me know. :) Review are welcome very much.
