I was a bad liar. I am a bad liar. That's why it was hard for me to come up with a way to get Spencer to take a little more time off to go to Vegas to meet his mother. Technically, I would be the one first meeting her - she gave birth to him. I did find myself lying a little upon his inquiry about whom the letter was from. I felt it was better if he just didn't know yet.

We were barely getting back to the way we were before he got a bullet stuck into him while doing his job. This was important too. This was a family matter and I did want to meet the woman. I was nervous about said event ever taking place but she was the one who seeked out me.

I had read her letter to me several times since first receiving it. That had been three weeks ago and I was driving myself crazy just waiting to bring the subject up. It shouldn't have been this hard. I asked about things before. This was a different matter, I felt.

I knew most of the story of why his mother was where she was and I had slowly begun to realize why he had his reservations about visiting her. I did know for a fact that he never stopped loving her or speaking to her. He wrote to her. I had seen him writing a couple of them a few times. I found it very sweet that he went to that level of sentimentality to show his mother that he still cared about her despite how things turned out. They had a very special relationship.

I had went as far as to call on a friend of his for help. Penelope Garcia had become one of those people that I couldn't help but want on my side to help with things like this. Her bubbly personality helped with this too. As I called her up during a day when Reid was out with Morgan doing a bit of male bonding as Morgan had called it. It grately amused me to think what that would entail. Spencer didn't look that enthused by the idea of it. He liked staying in with me on his days off.

I was enveloped in a warm hug by the gorgeous tech lady as I opened the door to let her in. She had a few bags with her, I noticed as I pulled away. "What's all this?" I asked her smiling as we settled down on the couch.

"I may have went a little shopping for the little genius or geniuses that will be marking their territory in the world within months. You never exactly told me if it was just one little one or more? I like splurging sometimes and I had a reason. I love children." She laughed as she began pulling things out of the bags she had with her.

She hadn't lied when she said that. I had met little Henry and seen the pictures that she had on her iPad of the kid when he was still a baby. My favorites were the ones of Reid and the little boy. I had been a little shocked to know that my boyfriend was also a godparent. He hadn't mentioned it before. I also didn't bring it up so that was partly my fault as well.

He looked quite happy playing with Henry and reading to him at a time where I suspected he was going to bed. It was all very fatherly. I think my favorite is the one where Henry at the age of possibly two is cuddled up next to a sleeping Reid also sleeping. It was the essence of cute.

After going through the bags of little gifts that Garcia had splurged on I went ahead and brought up what I had asked her to come over. "I got a letter from Spencer's mother a few weeks ago."

"Really? Does Reid know?" Garcia turned into a very attentive person at that moment. I smiled as I thought that that's probably how she looked when she was fiddling with data behind her lair at the bureau.

"Yes. No. It's hard to explain." I faltered as I stood up and went over to the bar where I had stuck the letter one night when Reid had come home and I was reading over again. "He was there when I got it but I never let him read it. He thought someone was trying to send me anthrax but after inspection he didn't see anything wrong. So silly but he let me open it. It didn't have a sender's address. I found that a little strange but decided to open it regardless."

I passed it over to the computer genius and let her look it over as I waited quietly. She took her time and I took a bit of time to sip a little water before she turned to me with a huge grin on your face. "You have to go meet her. I met her once before. She's a nice woman. Just go to Vegas."

"It's not that easy. Reid doesn't even know about this. When I tell him I don't know how he's going to react."

"He adores you and is secretly pumped about the prospect of you joining his family. Don't even mention it. Just get the packing done and within the end of the week you two will be vacationing in Vegas to see mummy dearest. It'll be easier than baking a pie."

I just smiled at her uneasily before the sound of my stomach rumbling caused us both to laugh. "Another mommy needs a little food. What do you feel like eating?" Garcia was beginning to head towards the kitchen when I stood up abruptly. I let out a quick breathe before calling out to her. "You don't have to do that. You're technically the guest here."

"And you my dear is also very pregnant and in a need of a long sit down. It can't be easy carrying two babies around."

"I thought you didn't know if I was carrying twins or not?"

"I'm a devious techie genius, Nati. I know how to uncover things." Garcia winked as she turned back towards the kitchen. "So lunch?"

Spencer had come back home alone just in time for a little takeout for dinner and a movie on a laptop that Garcia had been a little too willingly to give to me before she left. It had been awhile since I had used one. The last time being when I had been using one to get updates from her about Reid's condition at the hospital after he got shot. This one was newer and faster when it came to browsing and gaming.

I liked my fair share of PC games. Mostly crime mysteries, very ironic right?

I had found out recently found out that Spencer had never seen the Twilight series movies and not all that embarrassing for me neither had I. Meredith had talked a lot about them but I hadn't really interested in the undead. I quite enjoyed those living more so.

Nothing against anyone involved in these movies but I found it more amusing and creepy than romantic to watch the first one. Much to my delight Spencer had shut the screen of the laptop nearly halfway through and shook his head as if trying to get water out of his ears. Then he wrapped his arms around me. "There's no need to finish that. It's all very unentertaining to me at least. Did you want to finish that?"

I just shook my head feverently as I tugged at the bit of his hair that I had my hands entangled in. He leaned down pressed his lips against mine in a quick kiss. He grabbed the laptop and placed it on the nightstand before turning back to me. "I've been thinking of names and I'd like to see if any of them interest you."

Baby names. I hadn't even tried to come up any myself. "Oh? Right now?"

"No. Not specifically right now. I'd like to sleep actually. Morgan wore me out with his events today. I'm not really cut out for athletic things."

"What were you boys doing?" I smirked, I was really curious.

"Lots of endurance things. He had me lifting weights."

I giggled at that. "I would have loved to see that."

"No...that was torture. I'll stick to the facts if that's okay."

"I wouldn't want it any other way, Dr. Reid." I smiled as I pecked him once as I settled my head onto his chest. Sleep came quite easier tonight.
