Hey guys, thanks for all the reviews and views they mean a lot. I'm planning on writing a sequel to this story, so please keep reading. I did want Reid to have some happiness. Just a quick note, this story is suppose to be written around the end of season 5, so this chapter is around the end of season 6. Memoriam never happened nor did Maeve, because I hated how the whole Maeve thing ended. Thank you and I hope you enjoy this chapter:) p.s sorry for the mistake at the end I can't correct it on my iPad.

1 year later

Reid sat on the bench letting the cold wind whip around his face. Silent tears ran slowly down his checks. He was angry at himself for letting them fall, as he hadn't cried about his mother in months but he just couldn't hold it together. Shivers ran through his entire body as he stared at the writing before him.

Diana Reid

29th July 1945- 8th November 2009, aged 64

A loving and caring mother.

'Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.'

'Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.'

-George Eliot

It was the first time he'd visited his mothers gravestone since the funeral, but he knew it had to be down. Just the fact that her name was there in bold letters made it all feel offical. He felt like he lost her all over again. A year ago today his mother left him. A year ago today her heart stopped beating and she took her final breath. These thoughts raced through Reid's mind and the tears started to fall heavier. His team knew where he was going when he asked for time off and Morgan even offered to go with him, but Reid felt bad enough keeping them away from the families the first time it happened and didn't want to go through the same thing a year on. Getting up off the bench he moved closer to the gravestone and sat crossed legged in front of it. He placed down a bouquet of pink carnations. He wasn't sure what flowers his mother liked in particular, but he'd done some research and found out that pink carnations meant gratitude and he felt strong gratitude for everything his mother had done for him.

"Hey mum, I'm err sorry I haven't come to visit you, it's been tough, really tough." Reid mumbled through the heavy flowing tears.

"It was hard going back to work. I took two weeks off but even still, it was hard. A few cases I just lost it and hotch ended up sending me home. It's just my job, the amount of times I see unsubs who have schizophrenia it just gets me mad because not everyone who has schizophrenia turns into a murderer. Anyway, I um I got better, never once did I turn to dilaudid and you know what they say once an addict always an addict. But I guess you can say I had help. You see the day after I got back from Quantico after it happened, I lost it and I went to the park. I ended up meeting this girl and well she's amazing, like no one I've ever met before. Her names Kazia Little and she's is literally one of a kind. We kind of saw each other a lot after that. She helped me. She was there for me. The team don't know about her yet though and I kind of want to keep it that way. I mean hotch lost Haley because of the reaper and when the kingfisher targeted our team he targeted our families. There's also another reason, just um, a couple of weeks ago, Emily um Emily died. I just can't go through the pain I'm going through with Emily, if I lost Kazia." Reid said his whole voice shaking, he was crying quite hard now. "But I will tell the team about Kazia soon, because I'm uh, planning to propose to her tonight. She came with me to Vegas you see to help me through this. I also figured that I can't live my life dreading this day each year, so I thought that instead of it being something that I mourn and feel sad about, it's something that I can look forward to and remember it as a new beginning." Reid whiped his eyes a bit, he felt a weight off his shoulders that he told someone about the good news. Just then his phone rang.

"Hey spence." said Kazia. Along with JJ she was the only one who called him that.

"Hey" Reid said, you tell by his voice that he'd been crying.

"Listen, I'm nearly at the lot, would you like me to wait in the car?" She asked gently.

"No it's fine, I think it's time you met my mother." Reid replied.

"Okay, but only if that's okay with you spence." Kazia said.

"Its fine. I love you." Spencer replied.

"I love you too spence." Kazia replied before she hung up. Everytime she told spencer this it made a warm sensation run through him. A few minutes later Kazia came and sat down next to him.

"I like the quotes." She said reading the headstone.

"I picked the Einstein one and my father picked the George Eliot one." Reod mumbled.

"Hello Diana, I'm Kazia. I just want to say that if you were anything like your son then you were an amazing person. I kinda want to thank you aswell. You were the person who brought up one of the most kind and considerate man I've ever met and the only person I've truly loved." Kazia spoke. Reid looked at her with his big caring eyes.

"I love you." He said and hugged her tightly.

"I love you too." Kazia said kissing him softly on the lips.

"I uh have something to tell you, it's really important." Reid said softly.

"So do I." Kazia stated."I'm uh I'm, pregnant." She said looking up at Reid, a huge smile planted on her face. Reid was in slight shock, he was going to be a father.

"I uh, I, will you marry me Kazia." Reid finally spat out.

"What, this isn't just because I'm pregnant is it. You don't have to do that spence." Kazia said slightly taken a back. However what Reid did next shocked Kazia even more. Reid lent on one knee and brought out a velvet box. He opened it and inside of it lay a small gold ring with small amethysts encrusted on it.

"Kazia Scarlett Little, you are the first woman I have ever loved, will you marry me." Reid saidtear few tears falling from his eyes.

"Yes, of course I will Spencer." Kazia cried.
