The night went by too fast. The team (minus Rossi and Garcia) and Amber sat at the dining room table. They talked while they sipped wine and waited for their dinner to be finished. Amber filled up on wine, but ate some of the delicious Risotto that was made by Rossi and Garcia. There was more chatting, with more wine being sipped and food being eaten. By the end of the night, Amber was very tired, and rather tipsy.

Spencer and Amber took a ride home with Derek, who had graciously volunteered to drive them home. Once they had arrived at the apartment, Morgan put the car in park and Amber and Spencer got out of the car. Morgan then rolled down the passenger side window.

"Thanks," Spencer said to Morgan on the passanger side of the car.

"No problem. Now you two get to bed," Morgan said.

"Will do," Spencer replied then Morgan rolled up the window. Morgan shifted into drive and slowly drove off. Spencer had his arm wrapped around Amber's waist. He helped her through the door, up the steps and almost into the apartment. Luke just happened to be leaving his friend's apartment, the one right next to them.

"Hey Amber," He said to her.

"Hey," She replied back in a long drawn out manner.

Luke raised an eyebrow. "Are you drunk? Is she drunk?" He quickly asked Amber then Spencer.

"She had some wine…" Spencer replied.

"Wine? So what, you thought you'd get her tipsy then have your way with her."

"No…." Spencer started to say, but Luke cut in.

"Because I know for a fact that the two of you haven't fucked." Luke spat.

Spencer's eyes widened, "And how,exactly do you know that?"

Luke got closer to Spencer. "Because, she's told me."

Spencer felt his blood boiling, he wanted to punch Luke in the face, but he decided to take a more dignified approach. "Whatever, I have to get some water in her and put her to bed." Spencer said as he unlocked the door. He helped Amber inside, shut and locked door behind them.

Over a year later…...

Amber sighed as she let her bag fall to the floor. She slipped off her shoes and sighed yet again. He said he was going to be back today. She thought to herself as she didn't see Spencer's shoes next to the door. She took her phone out of her coat and slipped her coat off. She quickly locked the door and made her way to the couch. Just then she heard a crash in the kitchen. Her heart stopped, she slowly walked to door, afraid to find what was on the other side. There's no sign of a break in…. Amber slowly opened the door, she peaked her head in and gasped. "Spencer!" she ran over to him and gave him a huge hug.

"Surprise!" He said with a little laugh at the end.

Amber playfully slapped his upper arm. "It's not funny! I thought someone had broken in….even though there isn't any sign of it."

Spencer raised an eyebrow. "Wow, you actually do listen to me talk about work,"

"Yes, of course I do." Amber said as she gave him a peck on the cheek. "Let me guess, you hid your shoes, bag and coat in another room."

"Yes, because I know the second you get home, you go to the couch." Spencer replied.

Amber nodded. "So you profiled your own girlfriend," Amber said as she started to slow clap.

"Oh, you're going to be like that huh? I can go back to work….I'll just call up Hotch…." Spencer started to reach into his pocket to pull out his phone.

"No! No, No,No. Not necessary," She protested as she moved his arm away from his pocket.

Just then there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" Spencer announced. He happily made is way out of the kitchen and made his way to the front door.

Amber looked around the kitchen. He wasn't making dinner...so who's at the door? Amber walked into the living room to see everyone;Hotch, Morgan, Garcia,Rossi, Prentiss and JJ. "Hi you guys! What's everyone doing here?" She asked.

"We are here for a little dinner…" Rossi replied.

Amber looked at their hands. "Okay, where's dinner?"

Rossi smirked. "At my place,"

Amber grabbed her coat,slipped on her shoes and flew out of the door . "I call shotgun!" She yelled from halfway down the stairs.

Once Amber and the team arrived to Rossi's mansion they entered the foyer and went into the dining room. The table was already set, with a beautiful bouquet of red roses, there were eleven of them. Amber knew the meaning, it meant 'they were deeply loved'. There were little hints, and Amber had a feeling she knew what might happen tonight, but didn't want to keep her hopes up. Amber and Spencer sat next to each other, Spencer put his hand on hers and smiled at her.

"Hey," He whispered as their friends talked amongst themselves.

"Hey," Amber whispered back.

"I love you," Spencer replied.

"I love you too," Amber said.

Rossi passed Amber a bottle of wine and she poured herself some, then some for Spencer. Spencer thanked her and set the bottle down. Everyone had some wine to sip on. Spencer used his fork to tap on the glass. He stood up and said, " I'd like to make a toast," He announced as he grabbed his wine glass and held it up. Everyone grabbed their glass and held them up as well.

"This past year and a half has been...long," He said with a chuckle. "But it has been a magical one. Filled with love and promise. I know that when you love someone, you should never let them go. And when you love your best friend, it is even easier to give them your love," Spencer looked down at Amber and smiled. "I never thought I'd be with such a beautiful girl. With a beautiful mind and spirit. I may leave for work and not come back for days, but I know that the second I get home you are waiting there for me. And that's why I want to make sure you are always there for me in the future." Spencer set his glass down and got down on one knee. He grabbed Amber's left and looked her deep in the eyes. Her face was a bright red. "Amber, I know that I have my quirks," everyone, including Spencer chuckled. "and I know that you love me, no matter how quirky or caught up in work I get. I never thought I could love someone as much I love you. I want you to be next to me every morning when I wake up and every night when I lay my head down." Spencer reached into his pocket and pulled out a box. Spencer looked up at Amber, tears were gathering in her eyes. Spencer opened the box and said, "Amber, will you marry me?"

Amber nodded, "Yes, yes, of course!" She exclaimed as Spencer put the ring on her finger. It was beautiful, it was simple yet elegant. Amber leapt up out of her seat, hugged him and gave him a kiss.

"Congratulations you guys!" Hotch said. Amber looked at Garcia, Prentiss, Morgan and JJ. The four of them had tears in their eyes.

"Morgan, you're crying!" Garcia noticed as she wiped her eyes.

"I just have something in my eye…." Morgan said, in a tough voice as he quickly wiped his eyes.

"You can try and cover it up and act all tough Morgan, but the tears coming from your eyes do not lie." JJ replied.

"Ohhhh!" Garcia shouted. "She got you Morgan."

Morgan rolled his eyes at Garcia. "Yeah yeah," he brushed off.

The next few hours seemed to fly by. Amber was really enjoying herself, she was laughing, engaging in conversations with the team. She felt like she was flying, like no one could touch her. Spencer and Amber decided to part from the team what seemed early. Amber had class and work the next day. The team said their goodnights to the couple, after that Spencer and Amber headed back to their cozy apartment.
