A/N:So sorry I'm late! i had work for two weeks straight and Then my grammie died. I'm back and I hope you all like this!
Arabella adjusted her shirt in the mirror. Sonya stood behind her and gave her a disapproving glare
"He's still my brother." She said glancing at her best friend through the mirror.
"Doesn't make it a good idea." Sonya said rolling her eyes. Arabella raised her eyebrows. "Cause," Sonya answered her unasked question. "He always hated Reid. How do you think he's gonna react to the fact you two are engaged and have a daughter?" Arabella shrugged.
"We're just gonna have to see." She said to herself. Turning, she hugged Sonya. "Thanks for watching Ella."
"And what does Spencer think of this?" Sonya asked hugging Arabella back.
"He uhm agrees with you..." Arabella said shyly. Sonya rolled her eyes. "He's still my brother and its been a few years so we'll see." She shrugged and headed out the door. As she walked down the street to the little diner she thought of the conversation between her and Reid that morning.
"You're going to what?" Reid asked pretty angry.
"Have lunch with Nate." Arabella said. This wasn't going as smoothly as she had hoped.
"The same Nate who hates me?" Reid asked.
"Nate didn't hate you. He just had his priorities mixed up. He's still my brother." She heard Reid sigh.
"Just text me when you get home." He said and hung up, without a goodbye. Arabella sighed herself as she put down the phone.
So here she sat, waiting for her brother to show up. Just then a man who looked alot like her, walked in and sat across from her st the table.
"Hello Arry." He said. She looked up at him.
"Hello Nate." She said as she gestured to the chair across from her. He sat down. The waitress came up and they ordered drinks, just two cokes. "So how've you been?" She asked after drinks showed up.
"I've been good." He said. "Back to the single life, unfortunately. But hey what can you do? How've you been?" He asked sipping his soda. "Heard from mom i got a niece." Arabella blushed, giving Nathaniel his answer. "Is it that Reid guy's?"
"Yes Ella is Spencer's." Arabella said. "I'm sorry for not telling you, but we weren't exactly on good terms last we talked." She sipped hers. The waitress came with their food.
"That's true." He said eating his burger. "And I'm sorry. I just worry about my kid sister."
"Why? I've known him since i was 22." She said slightly put off.
"Its a big brother thing to do." Nate said defensively.
"I'm an adult." Arabella said eating her fries.
"An adult version of my kid sister." He said. Arabella's Eyes narrowed.
"If this is rehash of Christmas five years ago, I'm out of here." She said standing, and pulling out her wallet.
"No no Arry." Nate said grabbing her hand, finding her engagement ring. "Engaged?!" He asked. "Well what else haven't you told me?"
"Excuse you!" She said, louder than she meant. People turned. She blushed and sunk back into her chair. "Honestly. You're so full of yourself. You don't know Spencer, yet you continuously judge him."
"You're right." He said.
"You can't judge him whe- what did you say?" She stopped.
"I said. You. Are. Right." He said leaning in. "I was wrong. I just saw how skinny and skrawny he was and assumed that you, with your crazy exs, wouldn't be well protected."
"But Nate," Arabella said. "He's in the FBI. He's been through more than you have."
"I know." Nathaniel said. "i was wrong. I'm sorry."
"What do you want Nate?" she asked.
"I want to make things right." Nate said. "I fucked up. I severely fucked up and I'm sorry." Nate said.
"It's not me who you have to apologize to." She said. "It's Spencer you need to."
"You're right." Nate said. "And i will. I'll call him."
"Don't call him right now..." Arabella said with a sigh. He looked at her confused. "He's away on a case. I don't even call him. I didn't call him last night when Elle got hurt." Isabella shrugged. "I text him and tell him to call me."
"Ella got hurt?!" Nathaniel exclaimed. "So not only do i have a niece, she got hurt?" Arabella rolled her eyes.
"She was playing last night and fell. She'll be fine. Only needed three stitches." She raised an eyebrow. "Unlike someone else who kept trying to give Mom a heart attack."
"They seemed like good ideas at the time." Nathaniel said defensively.
"Bet she had the same thought." Arabella said. Nathaniel rolled his eyes.
"I can't wait to see her." He said. Then he reached over and grabbed his sisters hand. "I'm happy for you sis. I really am."
"Thanks." Arabella said. "It does mean alot. Although its hard since you were so against him since you met him."
"Let me explain myself." Nathaniel said. "Your last ex was for lack of a better word, insane. He wasn't too happy when i kicked him out of the house and helped you move to your new apartment. You need someone who can take care of you and protect you."
"I get that but you and Dad got him arrested for stalking." Ara said. "He's in jail. Also Spencer does carry. And has a wicked aim. We'll been fine."
"Is that safe with the baby?" Nathaniel asked. "The gun, I mean."
"We have a safe, up in our closet." Arabella said.
"We, our. I'm assuming you two have moved in together?" Nathaniel asked.
"Yes we did." Arabella said.
"I really am happy for you Arry." Nathaniel said.
"Thanks Nate."
