After Reid and Christine had cleared the building and were standing on the front sidewalk, Reid wrapped his arms around her and leaned down to kiss her again. As she returned the kiss enthusiastically, they vaguely heard someone saying, "Get a room!"
When Reid pulled away, Christine smiled and said. "Call me when you know if you'll be over tonight. I'll have dinner waiting."
"With dessert?" he asked provocatively.
"Of course," she assured him.
Reid smiled and kissed her again. "You'll be glad to know I took your advice before I went shopping," he told her shyly. "I talked to Rossi, not Morgan."
"I'll bet Dave really enjoyed that conversation," Christine commented wryly.
"Well, he did say that he was glad we were having safe sex," Reid reported. "He also said that I had better be careful I didn't knock you up. He didn't want to have to organize a shotgun wedding."
Christine closed her eyes, dropped her head, and slowly shook it. When she lifted it back up, she smiled at Reid. "He actually used that terminology?" she asked.
"Yes," Reid replied. "Do you know that the term 'Shotgun Wedding' is an American colloquialism dating back to the 19th Century? Other cultures have similar colloquialisms but none quite as indicative of violence as the Americanism."
He looked around. "Where is your car?"
"I left it in the lot at the University," Christine told him as she gave him yet another kiss. "I figured I had better get a parking spot while I could. I walked over to meet you, and I'll drive it over to the hospital when I need to get to work."
When Reid returned to the bullpen area, he encountered Hotch, who smiled and asked, "You do know that there are security cameras located all around this building?"
Morgan walked over and casually added, "And, you do know that the feeds from said security cameras can be captured by any nosey technical analyst?"
Reid smiled broadly and nodded as Garcia erupted from her office and rushed over.
"I so knew it," she exclaimed. "You really do have a thing for her, don't you? I just knew it!"
As Reid gave Garcia a shy smile and blushed, he noticed JJ standing nearby, giving him a look he didn't recognize.
