You took the time to memorize me

My fears, my hopes, and dreams

I just like hanging out with you, all the time

All those times that you didn't leave

It's been occurring to me I'd like to hang out with you, for my whole life

Stay, and I'll be loving you for quite some time

No one else is going to love me, when I get mad, mad mad

So I think that it's best if we both stay.

Caitlyn was awoken by Spencer grumbling as he did in the morning making a pot of coffee. She groaned and got out of bed, stretching as she yawned and put on her robe.

"Goodmorning," she grumbled, walking over to the shower. Spencer responded the same greeting as Caitlyn got into the shower, as she washed herself she heard the bathroom door open and the clink of a coffee cup on the bathroom counter. Spencer knew that she wasn't a morning person and before her coffee she was the equivalent of a demon. Caitlyn got out of the shower, dried her hair and finished her cup of coffee before emerging and getting dressed. She clad herself in black pants which she tucked into her own trusty pair of boots, a long sleeved white shirt which she tucked in and secured her pants with a black belt.

"Ah okay. I'm awake now." Caitlyn told the genius, informing him that she was out of her angry morning fog.

"Ok, good." he kissed her, folding up the paper and rattling on about what he had read and the various thoughts and discoveries he had come up with and the government reports from the neighboring states that he had read.

"Okay, time to get back to work." Caitlyn sighed, grabbing her black blazer and putting it around her shoulders, "and Emily is going to be there, and JJ!"

"Great. I can barely hide my enthusiasm." he grumbled.

"Come on, Spence." Caitlyn cooed him, wrapping her arms around his waist and looking up at him, "at least try and think about the good in all of this."

"And forget about how because of her actions we lost our baby and then I was basically traumatized and JJ watched, did you know that 2 in 5…" Spencer began to rattle.

"Nevermind," Caitlyn said with an eye-roll, "you'll come around to it eventually."

"So you finished the course?" Prentiss inquired as she, Caitlyn and JJ walked through the halls of the BAU, which JJ confirmed.

"Hotch said he's never seen a rookie profiler analyze and write up cases as well as you, and that's saying something because I was pretty awesome." Caitlyn joked.

"He said that?" JJ asked.

"Yeah, well with all those cases you selected and presented over the years I'm not surprised. The only thing I knew when I started was what I learned from psychology in school and the aftermath after the doors were kicked down and the aftermath after the smoke bombs cleared and the hours and hours of waiting and watching and waiting to finally go in." Caitlyn reminisced. As they were walking down the hallway the elevator opened and the young doctor emerged, instantly looking down at the case file in his hand when he saw the trio.

"Hey," JJ called, "where have you been all this weekend I've been trying to do brunch." Caitlyn knew that Spencer was dodging her calls, and even though she was stubborn she was convinced the only person in the world who was more so was her husband. He didn't even look up from the file as he continued walking.

"I had a lot of stuff to deal with, have you seen Garcia?" he answered not looking up and not slowing his pace.

"Uhm, she's with Rossi…" JJ called after him, "he hates me."

"Oh he was just busy," Emily tried to comfort her, "let it go."

"Well I mean he does kind of hate you right now… but not like the deep down hate, it's like a love hate like the he'll get over it kind of… maybe. You know what listen to Emily, let it go." Caitlyn stammered.

After all of the agents decided they were going to have a cooking lesson at Rossi's, unit chief Hotchner stopped the banter and instructed Garcia to begin. In Oklahoma two women had been found sexually assaulted and then blinded with sulfuric acid.

"Both are very low risk victims," Morgan said.

"And physically similar, young and he likes his blondes, at least he has one good choice in all of this." Caitlyn said, getting an eye roll from Spencer who knew she was a proud blonde and brunette disapprover and a sharp look from Hotch.

Abduction sites were five miles apart at bus stops, and the dump sites were in an alley and a field. The victims eyes were stapled open and then the victims were blinded.

"It could be about shame, blinding them could mean that the un sub uses this as some manifestation of how he sees himself in the world. Blinded and unable to do anything." The doctor inquired.

"Wheels up in 30." Hotch answered. He exited first as all the agents got ready to get home and grab their go bags.

"I'm going to stay here, could you grab my go bag when you're there and I'll meet you back here and we can go to the airport." Spencer asked as the rest of the agents filed out.

"Yeah sure, babe. But come on, don't you think you were a little harsh on JJ?" Caitlyn asked him.

"Caitlyn… just please… ok?"
"Ok, ok."

Spencer and JJ were split up to go look at the abduction site, Caitlyn and JJ's eyes met instantly when it happened but she quickly looked down when Hotch assigned her to go with Morgan and Prentiss. Her heart skipped a beat, the three amigos back at it. Caitlyn's phone vibrated in her pocket, it was from JJ.

Yeah, he hate hates me.

A new body had turned up and Caitlyn, Reid, JJ and Rossi were sent to the site of the new body. Caitlyn kneeled down at the body, and pulled down her mouth. Sometimes she wondered why she was so comfortable doing something like this, but pushed the thought to the back of her mind as usual.

"Well, he burned her tongue with the chemical this time." She stated.

"Historically this kind of torture was used to keep someone from revealing some kind of secret." The young doctor said.

"Maybe she offended him." JJ added.

"Wonder what that's like." Spencer shot, Caitlyn glanced over at him quickly, but he avoided eye contact.

"Well these clothes are definitely from the 80's so that must mean something to him. Maybe the one who hurt him was from that time and he's taking revenge." Caitlyn thought aloud.

"What made him start doing it now?" The assisting officer asked.

"Well something probably happened to him and instead of dealing with it he's acting out." JJ said coldly, staring at Reid who stared back at her stone faced.

After they had delivered the profile, Caitlyn stood with the rest of the agents, bouncing ideas off of one another about where to go next in the investigation but stopped when she and the rest of the agents overheard a conversation between him and JJ.

"I get it, you're disappointed about the way we handled things with Emily," JJ began as Spencer ignored her and tried to gather the files on the table quickly.

"Look I have a lot going on, alright!" Spencer answered, turning towards the door to leave.

"You know what I think it is," JJ started, "me and Hotch controlled our micro expressions and you weren't able to detect our deception."

"You think this is about my profiling skills?" Spencer responded, "Jennifer the only reason you were able to manage my perceptions was because I trusted you. I came over to your house for weeks, crying because I lost a friend. Crying because I lost my child and that my wife wasn't moving out of bed and I was terrified. And not once did you have the decency to tell me the truth."

"I couldn't." JJ answered, starting to tear up.

"You couldn't!? Or you wouldn't!"

"No I couldn't"

"What if I started taking dilaudid again? Would you have let me?" Spencer asked?

"You didn't!" JJ fired back.

"Well I thought about it." he answered, turning to leave again.

"Spence… I'm sorry." she called after him and the young doctor raised his hands in the air.

"It's too late, alright!" He answered, turning away.

"Reid!" Prentiss called after him, Caitlyn looked at Hotch who gave her a nod and she ran after him.

"Spencer! Spencer!" she called after him and he stopped to face her.

"What!" he yelled back at her.

"Hey, you don't have to yell at me. I understand you're upset but you didn't have to-" Caitlyn started but he cut her off.

"You know what Caitlyn, you didn't know! You were too busy in a hole of oblivion to know what was going on! I thought that I could be okay with you just going and forgiving Emily but you know what, I can't! I'm angry! I'm hurt and you're supposed to take my side no matter what." Spencer snapped at her.

"But I-" Caitlyn tried to start again.

"But nothing, I would have your side even if you were wrong and you know what go ahead and forgive them. But I'm not and now I don't even know if I can forgive you." The young doctor finished before storming away. Caitlyn stood alone as she walked him walk away and then turned back to join the other agents.

"Is he okay? You look upset are you okay?" Emily asked.

"Let's just catch this guy." Caitlyn answered.

They had finally caught the un-sub it turned out that he was mentally handicapped and was taking the victims because he was trying to get a specific target, Tammy. After her senior homecoming everyone had been drinking, and they played spin the bottle and she kissed him. Giving him the wrong impression and causing him to stalk her, and then over heard her talking badly about him. Turns out all of the victims resembled Tammy and her recent engagement triggered him to start the killings. They found the un-sub and then there was a hard time trying to find Tammy which they eventually did. Along with the tape that the un sub took of him torturing Tammy.

Caitlyn sat away from Spencer on the plane ride home. He didn't talk to her for the remainder of the investigation and it felt weird not having his head to rest her shoulder on or to listen to him lightly reading under his breath. Caitlyn saw Emily walk up to him in the seats behind her. She strained her hearing to listen.

"So the surgeon said that he'll be able to restore the movement and feeling in Tammy's hands." Prentiss began.

"Good, we got there in time." Reid responded, followed by a long silence.

"Mr. Bradstone wants to watch the tape."

"People have the innate curiosity to see things in order to confirm them."

"Oh, that explains why I'm going to Rossi's tomorrow night. I want to see if he really can cook. You coming?" Caitlyn could hear the smile in Emily's voice.

"I don't know, I'm not so sure I can make it." he answered. Caitlyn let out a soft sigh.

"Look, Reid, I know you're mad at us, because we didn't tell you what really happened and I understand that. But I promise you we had no choice. You mourned the loss of a child and a friend, I mourned the loss of a god child and 7." Emily paused and let out a sigh, "This whole thing gave me an ulcer, please don't give me another one. Are you gonna go to Rossi's tomorrow?"

"We'll see."

Caitlyn hadn't talked to Spencer at all when they got home, he locked himself away in his study and didn't come out once. Whenever Caitlyn tried to knock on the door there was no answer, but she would leave him food outside of the door and would see it was gone whenever she passed by after she was away for a while. She finished getting ready to go to Rossi's, clad in a black dress with a low cut and long sleeves.

"Spencer," she called, "I'm going to Rossi's, please come." No reply.

"Hey! Welcome!" Rossi called out when Caitlyn arrived at the door, she held up a bottle of wine that she had bought on the way over.

"One of the Reid's has arrived!" He called and Caitlyn smiled as she saw the rest of her team.

"He's not coming?" Emily asked her, handing her a glass of wine.

"I don't think so, he hasn't talked to me since the fight at the police station." Caitlyn sighed.

"Hey! Time to pay attention!" Rossi called, beginning to start his cooking lesson. Her heart sank, there really wasn't a lot of times where all the team could be together and acting so light hearted. She really wished that Spencer could be here, she went to take a sip of wine.

"Hey! Bambina! No wine yet!" Rossi chided her.

"Sorry!" Caitlyn apologized with an eye roll. Caitlyn loved watching Rossi in the kitchen, she remembered her Papa cooking, being half italian herself and her mom's side being full Italian. Everyone stopped as the doorbell rang.

"I got it." Morgan said, trotting to the door and Rossi continued with his lesson.

"Sorry I'm late." Caitlyn heard the familiar voice behind her and the young genius smiled at her and took a step between her and JJ who he traded a smile with as well.

"So when do we get to drink the wine?" Emily asked, that's why she was her best friend. Caitlyn felt Spencer slide his hand into hers.

"We're going to all cook our own, but we're going to do it all together, as a family." Rossi answered.

"Ok, now?" Caitlyn asked.

"Now, salute!" Rossi cheered, proposing a toast. They all clashed their glasses together and took a slip, and Spencer pulled her in by the small of her back and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"You were right, and you know me. I did come around." he mumbled with a smile into her lips.

"Hey, hey! Enough smootchin and get to cookin!" Rossi commanded.

"Ah it's still so cute I don't think I'll ever get over them." Garcia commented.

"I'll never get over the fact that Reid got married before I did." Morgan joked, causing Caitlyn to throw an al dente noodle at him.

"No throwing of pasta in the cucina! Don't make me put you both in time out!" Rossi scolded Caitlyn and Morgan.

"Sorry, sorry. Let's cook!" Caitlyn grinned.

"How about you and I do ours together…" Spencer said to her softly.

"What you're saying is you do the cooking because mine would be a disaster?" Caitlyn squinted at him, the young doctor coming behind her and putting his arms around her to begin following Rossi's instructions.

"Yes. And you would probably set Rossi's kitchen on fire and I don't think he would be happy with that." he answered.

"Good idea, you are a geniu-"

"I know." He said before she could finish her sentence.

"I'll supervise." she smiled up at him as he started to follow Rossi's instructions from behind her, giving her a peck on the cheek, as Caitlyn sipped on her glass of wine.
