Spencer woke up to an empty bed. Today was most likely the last day. Even if he had two days left what would happen now that didn't happen before? He sighed and swung his legs over the bed. His knee hurt badly. He limped out the room to the kitchen. When he arrived he saw Derek in his pjs and a cup of coffee. Derek looked up and smiled apologetically. Spencer smiled back and limped to the coffee machine to pour himself some. His limp didn't go unnoticed.

"Is that from last night?" Derek asked.

"Yeah but don't worry about it," Spencer waved it off.

"Spencer-"

"Derek…bring Payton home today…I don't think I'll ever remember and a full week without her dad is bad enough right?" Spencer continued.

Spencer sipped his coffee and added more sugar.

"I just want to try and make new memories with you,' Spencer finally whispered sadly.

Derek saw him crying again. This wasn't like Spencer to cry. The fact he couldn't remember who he was really took a toll on him. Derek walked over and lifted his chin up. He stared into the sad hazel eyes.

"We'll make it work," Derek promised.

"You should go lie down. Your fever isn't completely gone," Spencer mumbled.

Derek obeyed and went back upstairs. Spencer's gaze followed the man and he grabbed his shoes. He slipped out the house and walked. He walked away and didn't look back. Before he got far he heard a yappy bark. He turned around and saw a dog running behind him. It was big yet he wasn't afraid. He looked behind the dog and saw a gruffly old man.

"Hi Spencer," he greeted sweetly.

"Hi?" Spencer replied.

"I'm Rossi," he introduced himself.

"You mean as in the David Rossi? FBI and author of many published books?" Spencer questioned.

"Yes," he smiled.

"Umm wow," Spencer smiled sheepishly.

"This is Clooney Derek's canine," Rossi said.

"Derek has a dog?" Spencer asked.

"When you two left for your honeymoon I decided to take care of him. Mrs. Morgan had enough to do with Payton," he explained.

"…So what brings you here?" Spencer asks.

"I came to return him," Rossi smiles.

"Derek is sick and I-"

"Was running away?" Rossi assumed.

"What?"

"Spencer we have to talk. You look like you're in place of confusion. This is not the Spencer I know and care about like a son," Rossi said.

"I…I'm not the same Spencer. Not the one you knew. I'm…different…" Spencer sighed.

"Then try to come back to us Spencer," Rossi pleaded.

Spencer saw the worry in the old man's eyes. Rossi turned away and went back to his car. He drove away leaving Clooney and Spencer alone. Spencer grabbed the dog's leash and they began walking.

It's not that he didn't remember Derek's house. Rossi was right. He did want to run away. He sighed and sat in a bench at the park. He looked towards the sky with the leash in hand.

"Are those fireworks?" Spencer asks looking at the sparks.

"Actually yes," Derek responds.

"Are we at the park? Our park?" Spencer asks wide eyed looking around with the light of the works.

"By our park I assume it's where I took you for our first date after I found out you were pregnant? If so then yeah it's our park," Derek chuckles.

"What are we doing here? And what's with the fireworks?"

"You and your questions," Derek smiles.

"I'm just curious," Spencer blushes.

"Curiosity killed the cat," Derek warns.

"Yeah well a cat has nine lives," Spencer smiles.

"You don't believe that do you?" Derek asks now.

"It's just a saying and though cats are considered lucky they don't exactly have nine lives," Spencer explains.

"Thought so," Derek says.

He closed his eyes and grasped that memory. He replayed it in his head until it finally decided to continue with the rest of the story.

They strolled around the park and stopped at the end of the pond in the center. There were a bunch of lily pads and spencer saw a trail of red rose petals. He looked up at Derek curiously. Derek smiled sweetly and nudged him to look on. Spencer saw a little box on a lily pad close by.

"Spencer William Reid…will you spend the rest of your life with me?" Derek asks on one knee opening it.

It revealed a ring in it. It shone brightly with contrast of the moon slowly creeping out.

He started to cry. Clooney barked and tried hard to cheer his owner. It didn't work as he continued to sob. He was sick of the fragments that were now taunting him. A smooth hand wiped away a stray tear. He locked eyes with ones of worry. He blinked once, twice, and then he saw that is was Derek.

"Pretty boy don't strain yourself. It's fine if you can't remember. I'm just glad I have you here," Derek whispered.

"Derek I'm so sorry," Spencer cupped his husbands face and looked beyond those worried eyes. He found love and warmth. He leaned in closer until their lips touched. Derek held on tight afraid to lose him, afraid to be alone. Spencer closed his eyes and the puzzling fragments began to play and dance around his mind until…they were finally put together.

Just a kiss.

That's all it took.

Spencer and Derek broke apart and looked at each other. Derek saw the love his husband once held. He studied his husband and smiled.

"Spencer?" he still questioned.

"I'm never leaving you again," Spencer said while pulling him for another kiss.

Clooney let a happy bark.

"I'm sorry. For a whole damn week I forgot everyone and everything. I ruined our honeymoon. How could I ever forget you and Payton?" Spencer cried.

"Baby you're back. I 'm sorry… For being impatient for not being there when you needed me. I buried myself in work and I never took the time," Derek grinned.

"I love you I love you I love you," Spencer replied over and over again.

"I love you too," Derek chuckled.

"Your back," he breathed realizing for the first time it was actually happening and pulled Spencer closer.

"And I'm never leaving again," Spencer repeated with a smile.

A/N: In my head this played out way differently. I still like it though but I'm not sure about everyone else. Any opinions?
