At 11:15 am on October 30, the sun was shining brightly. There was a breeze that wasn't quite cold or warm, and the weatherman said the temp was going to be in the high 60's. Rossi's rumpus room was buzzing with activity. People were sitting in the beautiful rows of chairs, awaiting the beautiful bride to come down the long make shift aisle. The wedding party stood out in front of the foyer trying to calm a very upset Kari whiles she breathed into a bag.

"He's not going to show", Kari said, hyperventilating in the bag.

"He's going to show", JJ said, rubbing her back in circles. "Penelope, any luck?"

"It's going to straight to voicemail, Jayje", Penelope said.

"Where could he be?" Morgan said, pacing. "This is not like Reid. He's meticulous about everything."

"Well, he was until he met me!" Kari said, starting to cry. "I broke him!"

"No Honey", Rossi said, drying her eyes with a Kleenex. "You're the best thing that ever happened to him. Knowing Reid, there is a very good, but very elaborate explanation for this."


Five miles away, Spencer Reid sat behind the wheel of his car in bumper to bumper traffic. A semi-truck had jack-knifed in the middle of the interstate and he was about 50 ft behind it, surveying the scene. Ambulances, police and the fire department were on the scene, but it still made no headway in the dent of traffic. He closed his eyes and silently cursed. His phone charged and completely off was sitting on his desk next to the bed in their room. If anyone called, it'd go straight to voicemail.

Reid looked around the crowds of people now getting out of their cars. He was warm inside of his, and unfortunately there was nothing he could do…until he spotted a guy to his left. He looked like an accountant; glasses, suit and briefcase to boot. But what Reid was most excited about was the cell phone in his hand. Exciting the car, he ran over to the man, almost bumping in to him.

"Hey!" the man said, catching his balance.

"I'm sorry", Reid said. "I'm so sorry but I have a bit of an emergency."

"You look like you're going to get married", the man said. "Hey! Wait! Are you going to get married?"

"I was", Reid said, exasperated. "This gridlock is holding me up and I'm…" Reid looked at his watch and grimaced. "I'm over a half hour late."

"Man that sucks", the man said. "Want to use my phone to at least let the bride know it's not your fault?"

"Can I?" Reid said, accepting the phone. Three rings later, Morgan answered the phone.

"Hello?" Morgan said.

"Morgan? It's Spencer!"

"Pretty Boy!" Morgan yelled. "Where the hell are you?"

The man standing next to him tugged at his sleeve. "Look up, Dude."

Above the crowd the Channel Four helicopter buzzed around with a live camera feed.

"Morgan, get to a TV and take Kari with you. Turn to Channel Four."

Morgan grabbed Kari by the hand quickly and went into the den. The small wedding party followed and Morgan instructed Rossi to tune it to Channel Four

"Do you see me waving?" Reid said.

"I see you!" Morgan said. "Here talk to your girl. She's been worried sick. We all have."

"I'm sorry man, I really am", Reid said. Kari picked up the phone on put it on speaker.

"Um Spence, why are you on the freeway?" Kari said almost screaming.

"I'm so sorry love. I left my phone at home by mistake. A semi jack-knifed. I'm stuck." Reid choked up a bit. "I love you."

"I love you, too. It's OK, Spen. I was just so worried."

"I want to be with you so much. I don't know how long we're going to be." Reid got the attention of the man next to him. "What's your name man?" Reid asked.

"Jason. I'm Jason Trenton."

"Jason was kind enough to let me use his phone. I owe him."

"Spencer, put us on speaker", Kari said.

"OK, you're on speaker."

"One, two, three", Kari said. "Thanks Jason!" Everyone said together.

"Baby we may have to post pone", Reid said. Even without seeing her, he could tell her face had fallen.

"But I don't want to", Kari said.

"I guess you can tell me what song you were walking in on." Spencer looked over at Jason as he was getting his attention again. Spencer looked up and smiled.

"Kari, hold on I'm getting another call." Spencer put Kari on hold. "Hello?"

"Hi! This is Live From Channel Four with Arty in the Sky!" Spencer covered the receiver.

"The news is calling you", Reid said.

"Oh yeah, me and Arty go way back. Let me talk to him." Jason took the phone as the wedding party watched with bated breath as Spencer and the man talked to the helicopter.

"He's asking can you get your car to the shoulder?" Jason said.

"Absolutely!" Reid ran back to his car and maneuvered it easily onto the freeway's shoulder.

"OK, Arty said that he can helicopter you to your wedding in about 10 minutes if you wanna go."

Reid gave Jason a quick hug. "If you ever need anything, just call the BAU and ask for me!" The helicopter dropped altitude and descended a rope ladder. Reid hurriedly climbed aboard and the helicopter zoomed off.

Jason clicked back over. "Um, this is Jason. You fiancé is on his way!"

The wedding party cheered as Kari thanked Jason again and hung up.

Rossi hugged Kari. "Believe in Miracles, Sweetheart. They always happen."
