Hey guys! I'm sorry to say that this will be the last chapter of Taking Everything :( I really hope you all enjoyed this story, because I loved writing it! Thank you so much to those who have followed my story from the beginning, and everyone who favorited, followed and reviewed!
I'm fairly certain there will be a sequel in the near future, so keep an eye out for that! Also, I'm starting a Waking Dead story soon, probably within the next couple of days, so if you're a fan, watch for that too!
(I don't own criminal minds or any of its characters)
Lights, camera, action!
ONE WEEK LATER
Reid walked into his apartment behind Garcia, taking in the perfect order of his home. It felt it had been years since he'd walked through these doors. The smell of old books and dust greeted him, causing a smile to play on his lips.
Garcia stepped into the open living room, pausing to wait for the geniuses behind her. Reid stepped in and placed his messenger bag on the far left end of the couch before turning to Makaia.
The teenager stood in the door of the apartment, looking unsure of herself.
"Come on." Reid nodded his head towards her. Makaia took a deep breath and stepped through the door.
"Your room," Garcia announced, gesturing down the hall, "Is right down here." Garcia started walking, grabbing Makaia's gym bag as she passed and taking it to the new room.
Makaia looked to Reid and smiled as best she could.
"You ready?" He asked.
"I guess."
Reid extended an arm and Makaia gladly ducked under it, allowing her new foster father to guide her down the hall with an arm around her shoulders. She felt safe around him, safer than she had felt in a long time.
"Thank you." Makaia said, looking up at Reid.
"No." Reid looked back down at his new daughter, adoration flooding through him. "Thank you."
Even though the story is over, I'd still love a final review from anybody who will post one!
Ta-ta for now, my lovelies.
