One year Three weeks, and Two days later:

Spencer sat at his desk anxiously fidgeting; he kept touching the box in his pocket as if afraid it would vanish. It was stupid he knew, it was scientifically impossible for the box to just vanish. He was going to propose tonight, it had been a year since that night when Olivia had almost been killed. Since that night they had grown closer and fallen in love.

He remembered how, before Olivia, when he came home from cases he would go home alone, sometimes go out with the team, but he couldn't help but feel like there was something missing. Now after each case he couldn't wait to get home to see Olivia. Sometimes when the case was extra horrific and he couldn't talk about it, she would sit beside him, not saying a word, providing comfort with her mere presence. It was one of the many things he loved about her.

Whenever he talked about her now, according to Morgan, he got a dopey look on his face, leading to his new nickname, Dr. Lovesick. "So," said Morgan leaning against his desk with his arms crossed, "You gonna pop the question tonight?" he asked smiling.

"Shh!" scolded Reid a little louder than he had intended, glaring at him before glancing around worried. He spotted Emily with Hotch by the coffee pot, she gave him a weird look before turning back to her conversation. "How did you know I was going to propose?" he asked, checking his pocket for the millionth time.

"Because I'm the world's greatest profiler," he said giving him a classic Derek Morgan smile. Reid just raised an eyebrow. Morgan let out a sigh, "You look like a deer caught in head lights, you keep checking your pocket and … oh yeah, I passed by the jewelry store last week and saw you buying the ring," he listed, chuckling.

"You didn't tell Emily, did you?" he asked, glancing over at Hotch and Emily again, he didn't know why they didn't tell people they were together everyone knew.

"No, it's none of my business," he said. He then got a serious look on his face. "I'm glad you're with her kid, she makes you happy. I've seen something in you I haven't seen since I met you… Plus you act more human and less super-computer robot now," he said, going back to joking.

"Thanks," he said, somewhere between genuine and sarcastic. "I'm going to go pick up Olivia from the hospital," he said, gathering his things.

"Congratulations Spencer," he added as Reid started to leave.

"She hasn't said yes yet," he replied, turning back.

"She will," he said.

"How could you possibly know that?" he asked, curious.

"Because I'm the world's greatest profiler," he repeated. Reid continued to give him the 'no, really' look. Morgan sighed and explained, "All that stuff I said about seeing a difference in you, Emily told me the same thing about Olivia since she started dating you."

"Thanks," he said, turning to leave.

Unable to resist one last quip, Morgan added, "And just think, you'll be Elizabeth Prentiss' son-in-law." He smiled when he saw Spencer tense as he crossed the bullpen.

As the elevator doors opened, Morgan said to himself, "I guess since the kid is going to propose, it wouldn't technically be snitching if I spread the word." He grinned impishly. "Hey Prentiss," he called as he made his way to the break room, "Guess what Reid is going to do?"

The last thing Reid heard before the elevator doors closed was Emily's happy cry of "It's about time!"

A/N: Hopefully I will be posting the sequel soon!
