A/N: HERE IT ISSSSSS It's only going to get better an better. Is there going to be a proposal in the future!? I got so many good reviews I decided to give you this before I go to sleep. REVIEW REVIEW PLEASE! I can't wait to give you more, Caitlyn meeting his dad and all that good shit. So review! :)

"It's a very dangerous state. You are inclined to recklessness and kind of tune out the rest of your life and everything that's been important to you. It's actually not all that pleasurable. I don't know who the hell wants to get in a situation where you can't bear an hour without somebody's company." — Colin Firth

To say that Caitlyn was nervous was an extreme understatement. Caitlyn and Spencer checked into their hotel room, they needed to change their clothes before going to the hospital where Spencer's mother was. Spencer noticed that Caitlyn's go-bag was a little bit more stuffed this time around, but he didn't fully understand why until now.

"Okay." Caitlyn said throwing some clothes onto the mattress, "what do I wear?"

"You're asking me for fashion advice?" Spencer raised a brow, pulling out his usual ensemble of clothes.

"Well she's your mom. Should I dress up a little? Or will she think that I'm like pretentious or too flashy or too into myself. But we are going to a hospital so if I dress down and comfortably… what if she thinks that I don't take care of myself. She was so protective of you and were together if she thinks that I can't take care of myself then how will she think tha-" Caitlyn started to sound like Garcia with how fast she was talking. The young agent was in a full panic.

"Caitlyn." Spencer tried to interject.

"She's your mom for crying out loud, if she doesn't like me then that could totally put a strain on our relationship. She could talk bad about me and then whenever you want to visit her we would have to coordinate because she wouldn't want to see me and then there would be this awful awkwardness and what if-"

"CAIT!" Spencer said a little louder, she stopped and turned to him.

"Sorry," Caitlyn breathed, running her hand through her hair, "I'm just really nervous. Like really, really nervous."

"You don't have to be, I love you. And if I love you that means that she will too." Reid said pulling her in to kiss her softly.

"You're really smart… and she's really smart. I'm not as smart as you guys what if-" Caitlyn mumbled into his shirt.

"Stop with the what if's. I've written to her about you, she knows how you helped me. We've been together for almost three years now. Just go get dressed it's going to be okay. You need to breathe." Spencer instructed her, the young agent breathed in deeply and let out a slow exhale.

"Okay, okay." She said, going to take a shower, mumbling to herself as she did so. She always talked to herself when she got nervous. Finally she was ready, she put on a black cotton dress that she paired with a red flannel jacket which she rolled up the sleeves a quarter's way. She left her hair down in their normal natural blonde waves, and made sure not to put too much make up on and just put on her pair of black and white adidas.

"Is this ok?" Caitlyn asked and Spencer smiled and gave her a nod, extending his hand out to lead them to the cab that was going to take them to the hospital.

Caitlyn was silent in the car ride, holding Spencer's hand.

"Did you ever get to ask her about Riley Jenkins?" Caitlyn asked, Spencer's grip tightened a little.

"Yeah, she told me that she sensed I was in some kind of danger. Something about that whole case is rubbing me the wrong way. I've been having these dreams forever, I know details about the case." Reid said looking down at their hands.

"Well, I think that if it's really bothering you, you shouldn't let go of it. But it could be nothing as well."

"We're here." Caitlyn's heart sunk into her chest. They got out of the cab and Spencer grabbed his overnight bag, he was going to stay the night and then Caitlyn was going to leave and meet the rest of the team wherever they were in the large city. The two walked up together, still holding hands. Caitlyn felt like she was going to puke, hyperventilate, fall over or all three. When they walked into the building Spencer was greeted warmly, he had been there so many times that they were used to his presence.

"Your mother is over there," A doctor pointed over to a chair where a woman was sitting, picking at some food on a paper plate. Caitlyn could only see her side profile, Spencer squeezed her hand once more before letting go and walking up to his mom, Caitlyn stayed a couple steps behind.

"Mom," Spencer began, the woman looked up and smiled.

"I knew you could do it." his mother smiled.

"Do what?" he asked.

"Save that boy. I told you, a mother knows." she grinned, pointing at her head. Spencer smiled and opened his arm to motion Caitlyn over.

"There's someone that I want you to meet." he said. This was it, Caitlyn crossed her hands in front of her trying to make herself look as innocent as possible and walked over to Spencer who pulled her into his side. Caitlyn melted into him, placing her arm behind his back as well. His mom put down her utensils and leaned back in the chair she was sitting in.

"This is Caitlyn." he introduced them, "this is my mom, Diana." Caitlyn smiled and leaned forward to shake her hand,

"It's so nice to finally meet you Mrs. Reid." Caitlyn said, trying to hide how nervous she actually was.

"Stop." she said, holding up her hand. Spencer's face twisted into horror and Caitlyn's went completely blank. "Give me a hug, and call me Diana." Caitlyn let out a sigh of relief and gave Diana a warm hug. She motioned them to take a seat next to her, Caitlyn was feeling better already.

"So, you're the girl whose got my Spencer all deep in love. I hope you're taking care of him, he's so skinny." Diana said.

"I try to, I honestly think it's all of the coffee he drinks. And it's mostly sugar I try to tell him not to put so much in there and to not live off of caffeine and sugar it's not healthy." Caitlyn said looking over at him, Spencer rolled his eyes.

"That's what tell him all the time! I like her." Diana said to Spencer. Caitlyn was surprised at how normal his mother was, she knew about her disease but all she ever really saw of it was the worst on TV or in movies. She told her about her life, about how they met and started dating even though Spencer had already written to her about it. She told her about how she started and some of the times in the field, that Diana still didn't approve of. The way that Diana spoke about Spencer with so much love really made her admire their relationship. Visiting hours were coming to a close and Spencer informed his mother that the doctor would be letting him stay the night, she threatened the doctor if they kept him any longer.

"It helps if they think you're crazy." Diana explained and Caitlyn laughed, standing up to go.

"It was really, really nice meeting you." Caitlyn said giving her a hug again, Spencer had gone off for a second to sign a paper about his night stay.

"It was nice meeting you too, dear. Look out for my Spencer, I'm always so worried about him." she said looking over at her son. "Make sure that you always have antacids because-"

"He's lactose and tolerant and can't stay away from dairy." Caitlyn finished for her.

"And make sure that nothing happens to him, because I do like you but if something happens to him on your break his heart I'll have to go all mother lion on you." Diana threatened.

"I will. I love him so much, I don't know what I would do without him. I'm so in love with him I think the only way we'd be apart was if he broke my heart." Caitlyn responded as Spencer came up to walk her out.

"I think that went really well." he said, Caitlyn nodded in agreement and gave him a kiss before getting in the cab to meet up with Prentiss, Rossi, Hotch and Morgan.

JJ had already called it a night. Caitlyn walked into her hotel room that had attachable doors to the rest of the team so that it could open up to be one big suite, and closed if privacy was needed; to see Rossi smoking a cigar on the balcony, Morgan and Emily were out drinking and gambling. Caitlyn pulled up a chair on the balcony to join him.

"You're not going to join Morgan and Prentiss at the craps tables?" He asked puffing his cigar. Caitlyn stood back up and walked over to the bottle of scotch and scooped some ice out of the container and poured herself a glass.

"Nah," she said, taking a large sip out of her glass.

"How did it go?" Rossi asked, clicking her glass to his.

"I think it went really good. We talked a lot, she threatened to basically kill me if I ever broke his heart, but other than that I think it went well." Caitlyn explained, drinking another gulp of the scotch.

"Woah, woah slow down. That's expensive and it went well, what are you drowning with my 500 dollar bottle of scotch?" Rossi asked as Caitlyn mumbled an apology and poured herself another glass.

"Something is bothering him and I know it's that case about that little boy Rossi. I don't know I just want to help him. And I know that I can't force him to tell me and he kinda has to come to me on his own because that's just how he is." Caitlyn said, Rossi looked at her.

"And….?" he continued.

"And his mother said that I better not break his heart, and I said the only way we'd be apart and a heart would be broken that it would be mine. And I've never been so in love and so vulnerable and that terrifies me." Caitlyn admitted.

"Ah, love." Rossi said, "once you care about a person, it's impossible to be logical about them anymore. Everybody knows how to love, but few people know how to stay in love with one person forever."

"You know sometimes you sound like a fortune cookie."

"And sometimes you sound like a sap when you go off about how in love you are." Rossi countered, Caitlyn just nodded and took her defeat, "but I envy it a bit. And a adventure may be coming your way, adding some fortune cookie in there."

Reid's Point of View

Spencer waved to Caitlyn as she got into the car and went back to the hotel. He let out a sigh of relief, he didn't want to tell her but he was probably more nervous about her meeting his mother than she was. He turned back into the hospital and sat back to where his mother was sitting.

"I like her. She's absolutely beautiful, Spencer," his mother started, "and she's irrevocably in love with you." Spencer smiled, nodding his head and looking at his mother.

"I'm in love with her too," he told her, his mother pointed to her head once again.

"I know this, I feel it." she stated.

"I'm going to marry that girl one day." Spencer told her, his mother smiled and looked down at her hand, slipping the wedding ring off of her finger that belonged to her mother and putting it in his palm.

"You better, Spencer Reid." his mother instructed him, "girls like that don't come along all the time, and she's better than that little imaginary girlfriend you made up for yourself when you were six."

"She wasn't my girlfriend she was just a friend!" Spencer defended.

"For when you do." she smiled. Spencer squeezed onto the ring tightly before putting it in a safe spot in his messenger bag.

"Your wedding ring?" he asked, looking down at it, his mother gave him a closed mouth smile and nodded.

"It was your grandmothers before it was mine. Your father got it when he asked for permission to marry me. Even though he left I was in love with him so I still wear it. I know it'll look beautiful on her finger, as good as she looks next to you."

"Alright, well what do you want to do now?" he asked, his mother began to tell him about the books she was reading and Spencer was happy to be in her presence. When it was finally time to go sleep, he changed into his pajamas and got comfortable on the roll-away bed that was put in Diana's room. Before he fell asleep he opened his phone and texted Caitlyn one of his favorite quotes from F. Scott Fitzgerald

You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known- and even that is an understatement

In almost an instant she responded with a quote from Herman Hesse,

If I know what love it, it is because of you.

The second he fell asleep, he began to have the same dream. He was in the basement, and the man who stood over the body all these years finally stood up and looked him in the face. It was his father. The next morning he said good bye to his mom and made his way back to the hotel room. Caitlyn was already awake and sipping a cup of coffee out of a styrofoam cup.

"She liked you." Spencer assured her, Caitlyn let out a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" she asked. Spencer was always surprised at how quickly she could read him. He hadn't been in the room for more than five seconds and she could already tell that something was off. He wasn't even sure if there was a case or not but he needed to find out.

"I think I'm just going to stay here for a few days. I haven't seen my mom in such a long time I just want to stay for a little longer." he lied, watching Caitlyn as she packed up her go bag.

"Alright. You have to come and tell Hotch and the rest of the team. Are you sure this isn't about Riley Jenkins?" She asked, Spencer tried his best to act cool.

"Yeah, let's go I'll drive you to the airport." he said hurriedly. Caitlyn stopped and pulled her close to him, his heart started to race and the butterflies in his stomach began to flutter. He never knew when that would stop.

"I'll miss you." she whispered to his lips, she smelled like lavender and vanilla and the young doctor smiled kissing her on the lips and pulling her into him tightly. She was so small and in his tall frame he felt like he could pull all of her into him.

"I'll miss you too. I'll call everyday."

Caitlyn's POV

It was cute how Spencer thought that she didn't know what was going on.
