"Hey babe," Derek said quietly.
"Mmm hi," Spencer replies hoarsely.
"Still tired?" he asks.
"Not to enough to be away from you," he smiles.
"Then let's just stay here forever," Derek sighs content.
"We have a baby to take care of," Spencer reminds him.
"Momma will take care of her," Derek yawns.
"Alright come here," Spencer pats the side next to him.
"Everyone left," Derek informs.
"I wondered why it was suddenly silent," Spencer wondered.
"I missed you. I missed having you in my arms. I miss holding you like this," Derek said burying his face in Spencer's curly locks.
"I missed you too but we got an amazing gift," Spencer says taking in his scent.
"I know and just a week before Christmas," Derek muses.
"This was probably the most amazing gift I ever had," Spencer said.
"I'm glad I was able to help," Derek grinned.
"Not so fast. This is probably also the most tiring thing that's going to happen," Spencer smirked.
"Fine I'll get up first after Momma leaves for Chicago again, deal?"
"Deal," Spencer kissed him.
"Let's sleep together in each other's arms," Derek suggested.
"You don't have ask," Spencer said intertwining their legs together.
"So warm," Derek muttered.
"I've been in bed since we got here just waiting for you," Spencer whispered in his ear.
"This is exactly what I missed," Derek laughed.
"Me?"
"Yes you but it's only going to get difficult. In the coming months we have to start planning for our wedding and everything," Derek pointed out.
"Garcia can handle it like everything else."
"She'll take over for sure," Derek chuckled at the idea.
Spencer shivered from terror at the thought of it. She loved Garcia but she just got carried away sometimes.
"Baby?"
"I don't think I want to return," Spencer finally said.
"What. Why?" Derek asked.
"I don't know…being away from Payton and this is just so overwhelming" Spencer said tears in his eyes.
"I'll support every choice you make I promise I will always be there for you," Derek reassured him hugging the lithe man tighter.
"You mean everything to me," Spencer said.
"I love you baby boy just remember but it'll be a shame to lose you," Derek whispered.
"I'm just thinking that maybe when we settle down more and when we're married I'd become a professor. I don't want to leave the BAU, it's my life. It's all I've known," Spencer sobbed lightly.
"We are family and we'll always be there for you. Just remember that ok?"
"Ok. I don't deserve you."
"I don't deserve you either but we'll pull through."
"Miss me that much huh?"
"You and our baby, it's strange she's not in between us," Derek said.
"It is," Spencer agreed.
"How do you feel?"
"…Empty yet full and light," he chuckled.
"So happy?"
"No more than that…it's hard to explain," Spencer sighed.
"Tired?"
"I just want to stay awake and be with you here forever. Is it still an option?" Spencer asks.
"It will always stay standing but I think forever might never start…because you're already all I want. All I need to survive breathe and live for," Derek said poetically.
"Since when have you been a romantic?"
"Since the day I got the courage to sweep you off your feet pretty boy," Derek smiled.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Spencer said drifting into a dreamless sleep.
End...
