"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" they screamed as Tess and Spencer came into the office.
It was Tessa's birthday turned thirty five and wasn't happy about it, she held her husband's hand tight and he kissed her neck. The happy couple had been married for about three years and already had a child. Tess sat at her desk until the sun went down, once the sun had disappeared Spencer and Tess went to a restaurant with their friends for her birthday dinner. Tess ordered spaghetti bolognaise and a glass of coke, Spencer ordered fettuccini and a glass of water. After dinner, cake and birthday presents Spencer and Tess went home. Tess's children were at their dads and their baby was with Tess's mother for the night.

Spencer and Tess sat side by side on the couch, Spencer's hand rested on Tess's leg. Spencer kissed Tessa's neck as he rubbed her leg; Tess pushed him back and turned to face him. Spencer looked almost hurt by her sudden motion. She rubbed her hand up his chest and leaned in again to kiss him, his hand clutched her waist and he pulled her in. Their lips clashed as they kissed each other furiously, Spencer's hand run underneath her shirt untucking it from her black work pants. Her hands fiddled with his leather belt until eventually it was undone and his beige pants were off and on the floor, his white cotton boxers revealed.
"Wait baby lets go upstairs," Tess said as he took off her shirt and pants.
"Ok my angel," Spencer kissed Tessa's bare shoulder.

Upstairs they removed the remaining clothing, Tess lay on her back on the bed and Spencer rested his body on top of her. His large member moved inside her she gasped as he moved faster, she gripped the wooden bed head and screamed in delight. After an hour they collapsed beside each other, Tess rested her head on his topless torso. The movement of his chest and beat of his heart put her to sleep; Spencer was up for awhile stroking her back drawing circles on her back before falling asleep himself. During the middle of the night Tess woke up screaming Spencer held his wife as she trembled in fear.
"Nightmares again lovely?"
Tess didn't speak instead she nodded and placed her head on his shoulder as warm tears ran down her cheek. Spencer rubbed her arm and wiped her tears, she continued to shake until four o'clock in the morning when she fell asleep.

Each night since she was blown up, kidnapped and tortured she had horrific nightmares, although it was more like one specific nightmare. She was running down a white hallway that turned into the cellar where they were trapped, the walls began to close in and the exit got farther and farther away. As she reached a door the ground gave way under her and she fell into nothing. Tess had gone to psychologists' and churches but nothing worked, she just had to wait for it to pass but each night it got worse. The next morning they picked up their three year old son from Tessa's mothers house and dropped him into daycare before driving into the BAU office ten minutes later.

They both walked in and Hotch explained about a series of fires in Los Angeles, after they were debriefed they waited to get on the jet. Spencer started making himself some coffee as usual, Derek saw him and approached with a smile.
"Did someone get a little something, something last night?" he smiled.
"No, well yes but it's not the reason I'm tired," he said shrugging Derek off.
"Tess's nightmares are back," Spencer turned and faced Derek.
"Oh ok…wow this is awkward."
"Why?"
Derek looked up and pointed to the elevator, this guy was trying to chat up Tess. Tess seemed to be trying to get him away but he kept coming.

Spencer rushed to his wife's side and planted himself between his wife and the guy. Spencer put his hand on the guys shoulder and pushed him gently.
"Excuse me sir but she's my wife," Spencer said.
"Your no threat to me beanpole," the guy said walking up to Spencer again.
"I'm not trying to threaten anyone I'm just saying leave my wife alone."
"She ain't 'appy with ya mate," he said pushing Spencer.
"What makes you say that?"
"Look at her she ain't even sticking up for ya."
"She doesn't have to."
Spencer took of the guys hand and turned to walk away; as he turned the man pulled him back and smacked him across the face sending Spencer into the bookcase. It took Reid a second to steady himself, then turned to walk back to Tess, his head filling with memories of high school bullies. He got to Tess and wrapped his long arms around her and held her in an embrace, Tess checked his face and kissed the red mark that was already bruising.

As he kissed her the man walked up and again and pulled Spencer away and smacked him in the stomach sending him to the ground. The guy then sat on Spencer's back and was about to smack Reid's face into the ground when Spencer rolled over and stood up. The guy looked up his face red with fear and embarrassment, he went to swing at Spencer again but Spencer ducked and he smacked Derek in the chest. Derek looked at the Italian man who just hit him and the guy bolted out of the office. Tess gripped Spencer's head and examined the damage before kissing him again, Spencer's arms wrapped around Tessa's waist before they entered the aircraft and headed towards Los Angeles.
