Registry

The day had finally come! After six months of planning the day had finally come. They'd planned everything down to the minute detail. Today their two hearts would be finally tied in wedded union. He couldn't believe he was getting married yet again but this time it was to his soul mate; his Spencer.

He was so excited and nervous. This was his third marriage and he hadn't had a great track record at marriage. His first wife had cheated on him and just left him one night when he went off to work on a case and ended up divorcing him. They'd also both died at the hands of serial killers.

Not that he had a fear he'd lose Spencer to a serial killer. Spencer could handle himself with an UnSub just like the rest of them could. He'd even handled himself with Tobias Henkel despite the dilaudid addiction that had followed. He understood the job and for that his heart was so incredibly thankful.

They'd spent the last night apart for the wedding today. Spencer was at JJ's while he'd been left here with the kids though Jessica and Dave were here to help get them ready. They'd been told they weren't able to see each other until the registry and had even been thrown separate bachelor parties.

Aaron got himself up and headed into the bathroom. Once there he had a shower reminiscing all the times he'd done it with Spencer in here already hoping there would be more now they were going to be husbands. He could feel his hands over his body as he washed himself.

He then got out and dried himself thoroughly putting on a pair of boxers just in case his daughter accidentally walked in. He'd never scar his two year old daughter. He couldn't believe his children were already fourteen and two. Time was flying by too fast.

He then went over to the sink and brushed his teeth then shaved the stubble that had grown on his face overnight. He'd always shave while he worked with the FBI. He preferred to look professional for the job. He'd even never let facial grow on his face as a prosecutor. His appearance had always mattered in every profession he'd entered. He'd only let it grow once while he was in Pakistan but it was too hot to bother about shaving and he was sleeping rough anyway due to them living in tents.

Once he'd done that he went back into his bedroom and picked up his suit for the wedding. He was too nervous to even consider breakfast. The last time he'd felt this nervous was proposing to Spencer six months ago though he knew he was marrying the man he loved with everything in him.

When he'd got into his white dress shirt, black dress trousers and black suit jacket he picked up his black bow tie. He smiled when he saw Dave in the mirror and said, "Come in, Dave. How are Jack and Maggie?"

"Jack's up and dressed..." he answered. Aaron's eyes widened in shocked surprise. Since he'd become a teenager Jack had become increasingly hard to get out of bed let alone dressed. Dave shrugged, "What? I have a way with teenagers."

"Please pass on your wisdom one day, oh great wise one," Aaron smiled cheekily.

"One day, my young jedi, one day," he smiled back.

"Maggie?"

Before Dave could answer she ran into her dad's room in a silk, purple dress with a sash around the waist wearing black buckled shoes shouting, "Daddy." Her beautiful, long brown hair cascaded in waves touching her shoulders.

"Hey princess," he beamed picking her up and twirling with her in his arms. There was nothing that made him happier than Spencer and his kids.

"You Spenner marry," she smiled back.

"Yes we are," he smiled kissing her cheek.

"Yay."

He was so happy his kids accepted his relationship with Spencer so much that they looked to his fiancé as another father. They'd both agreed that if other kids came them trouble over their relationship they'd help them through it but Aaron would never turn away him as long as they were happy themselves with the relationship.

They soon all got into Dave's car that would be driving them to the registry. It had been decided they'd go in this car rather than Aaron's own because Dave didn't want him driving and wanted his best friend to arrive in style at his third and hopefully final wedding. He knew Spencer and Aaron would make it side by side.

When they got there he led them into the foyer and alerted the reception the Hotchners had arrived for Aaron and Spencer's wedding. They were informed Spencer Reid and a few of their guests had already arrived. They thanked them and went into the foyer to join them.

When Maggie saw Spencer she ran up shouting, "Spenner, Spenner, you dad marry today."

Spencer smiled picking her up, "yes we are. You excited?"

She nodded her head vigorously.

Ten minutes later the registrar came out and called their names. They shook hands with her and followed her to the room that had been allocated for their wedding. Everyone took their positions as Maggie went in front of the happy couple scattering rose petals just like her dads had practised with her.

Soon Spencer and Aaron were standing in front of the registrar holding hands ready for their marriage to be made official in the eyes of the state of Virginia and the United States. They knew there was nothing more they wanted to do than be made husband and husband.

"Do you Spencer Matthew take thee Aaron Thomas to be your lawful wedded husband?" the registrar asked.

"I do," he answered smiling at his lover.

"Do you Aaron Thomas take thee Spencer Matthew to be your lawful wedded husband?"

Before he got the chance to even answer all hell broke loose. They heard the creak of the door behind them open up and two gunshots go off hitting Aaron knocking him off his feet. Spencer got down by him while they heard the shooter run off as the women screamed and Morgan and Rossi raced after them.

Spencer felt his partner's pulse was there but weakening so screamed for someone to call an ambulance. He gently took off his suit jacket and noticed the blood coming out of both his lover's back. He desperately tried to stem the blood flow from both entry points.
