Engagement

Aaron was out with Jessica a couple of months later having left Spencer at home with the kids. He knew Jack was probably on his computer playing video games which left his partner with only a baby girl to keep an eye on. Luckily Maggie loved nothing better than to curl up into Spencer's lap while he read to her.

Aaron had gone out to a jewellers with his former sister-in-law wishing for her help in buying Spencer an engagement ring. It had only been three months but there was nothing more he wanted to do than make his man his husband. They already felt like a married couple and he wanted to make it official.

He trusted Jessica's opinion in deciding which ring to get Spencer. Since his kidnap they'd managed to rebuild his trust in her. When he'd discovered she'd married his captor he'd felt incredibly betrayed but she'd more than made up for it. She'd been there every step of his recovery desperate to do whatever she could to make it up to him. Slowly and gradually he'd begun to trust her again and their relationship was what it had once been.

Recently with his encouragement he'd begun dating a guy who worked in computers. She'd even agreed to have Garcia look into his background via her computers. After Daniel they'd just wanted to protect her. After all she was family.

When they got to the jewellers he had a look through the cases of rings trying to find the perfect ring for his boyfriend. He wasn't sure what sort of ring you got when you proposed to a man. He'd only ever proposed to women before. Spencer had been the first man he'd fallen in love with.

Suddenly he spotted a plain gold ring with a small diamond in it. It would look so beautiful on Spencer's finger and everyone would know that he was his; his soul-mate. Thankfully the FBI had allowed the relationship but they weren't ever going to be able to be promoted.

He picked it out and bought it after Jessica also approved of it. He placed it in his pocket so that when he got home Spencer wouldn't be able to see it.

"So when are you going to ask him?" Jessica smiled.

"Tonight," he smiled.

"Congratulations."

"He hasn't said yes yet."

"I know he's going to. He's crazy about you."

"I'm crazy about him," he smiled.

That night after they'd put the kids to bed or at least tucked Maggie in and made sure Jack had switched off his bedroom light he and Spencer sat on the couch snuggled up to each other. They just loved the times they could be alone together. With the two children they were far and few between even if Jack was a teenager.

"Aaron," Spencer asked curious seeing how nervous his lover looked. "What's up?"

Aaron took the ring out of his jeans pocket and Spencer's eyes opened wide while he swallowed a lump in his throat. Was that what he thought it was? Aaron opened it up to reveal the ring.

"Spencer, you're everything to me. I can't imagine my world without you. You're my reason for living along with my two beautiful children. You waited for me four years and were so patient with me when I lost my memory and married another. You even supported me over her death and helped me raise my children expecting nothing in return. You're truly an angel and a blessing to my life. You even saved my life. You're my hero and the love of my life. Oh god I'm rambling," then added with a cheeky smile, "that's your influence. What I'm trying to say is will you be my husband? Will you marry me?"

"Yes Aaron," he beamed. "Yes I will."

He smiled back placing the ring on his finger and kissing him on the lips. "I love you so much, Spencer."

"I love you so much too, Aaron," he replied kissing him back then leading him off to their bedroom.
