During the funeral Derek sat beside Spencer, actively taking on the big brother role.

Jason Gideon meant a lot to the members of the BAU. Once Gideon had finally found a sense of peace he moved back to Quantico Virginia to be closer to his son, and the team members he worked closely with a long time ago.

Derek leaned over and asked, "Hey Spencer how you holdin' up?"

Spencer sighed and replies, "Pretty well. Gideon lived a good life, once he left the BAU. Plus he got to see my girls grow up."

Derek nodded silently as the funeral came to close. The large BAU family stood around the final resting place for their friend and mentor. Ashley Hotchner was the first to drop her rose. Jack held onto little Jackson with one hand, and rubbed soothing circles under his wife's long blonde hair.

Ashley whispered, "Goodbye grandpa Gid. We will miss you."

Jasmin placed her hand on Ashley's shoulder. Jasmin loved Gideon as well all the BAU babies did. Jasmin rubbed her extended belly wishing Gideon could have lived long enough to see the new Morgan babies born.

Jasmin sighed as she dropped her flower. One by one everyone paid their respects. Everyone got in their cars and made their way to Rossi's house for a large reception.

That just left Derek and Reid still at the cemetery.

Reid shoved his hands in his pockets. He didn't need to see Derek to know he was there.

"You know Morgan, Gideon made me promise that this wouldn't be a day of mourning, but a day of celebration of his life…and I just don't know how to do that."

"Listen kid, he was right. You know he wouldn't want you staring at a hole in the ground. He would want you at Rossi's eating way to much Italian, and having one too many glasses of wine, and that is what we are going to do."

Reid gave a tentative smile and said, "We are going to Rossi's and remember our friend like he wanted."

Derek nodded and said, "Let's go."

Derek and Spencer were the last two to walk into Rossi's mansion. The sounds they heard coming from all over were not quiet sounds of sad contemplation, but of laughter.

Penelope was telling everyone how she thought when she first met Gideon, he had a crush on her because both he and Hotch sent her presents and both gift cards said from Gideon.

Derek cupped his mouth with his hands and said, "He knew better than to go after my woman."

Jasmin and Dylan rolled their eyes, and everyone else laughed.

Dylan helped Brianna sit down. She was now a little over seven months pregnant, and couldn't see her feet.

Dylan sat on the armchair of Brianna's seat. Jack and Dylan were laughing about all the times Gideon had to chase after them. Dylan had a habit as a baby of taking his diaper off and running down the street.

Lila pressed a glass of wine into Reid's hand and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Reid patted his wife's hand and took a gulp of his wine.

They stood in thoughtful silence for a moment. Derek clapped Spencer on the back and said, "Come on guys let's go in the den with everyone else.

Spencer looked around Rossi's warm and inviting living room. He felt lucky to call each and every single one of these people his family.

Spencer felt the sadness melt away, and joined in speaking about all the times Gideon gave him hell for the way he carried his gun.

As always Reid and review….See what I did there.
