Protecting You (Spencer Reid x Maxine Brenner)
Tumblr media
----------------------------------------------
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Max Brenner
Ask: β€œHello, you can write something like that Spencer is trying to protect max (let's say someone appears who, as always, threatens the team and from bdizkiim), but does not come up with anything better than breaking up with her. Only with a good ending.”
Summary: An elusive unsub threatened the whole team and their loved ones. Spencer is scared of something bad could happen to Max so he decided it's better to break up with her.
Word Count: 4.5k.
Warnings: Kidnapping. Physical injuries (not detailed). Mention to blood. Some strong words. If I missed something, let me know.
----------------------------------------------
β€œWhat?! Spencer, are you serious about this?” Max asked, standing from her couch and looking at Spencer in disbelief.
Was he breaking up with her?
Spencer winced, seeing how Max tried to make sense of the current situation. He averted her gaze; he couldn’t stand the betrayal look in her eyes.
β€œI’m sorry,” he mumbled.
β€œAre you? Why don’t you explain to me what happened? What did I do? I thought we were good. I - I don’t understand,” Max stuttered. Her voice was small and full of confusion. Spencer hated himself for doing this, but it was the only way. He loves Max too much to put her in danger.
β€œIt’s not you. Believe me! You did nothing wrong, I promise,” Spencer tried to explain without disclosing the real reason for this decision.
Max shook her head.
β€œSpencer. I know that sometimes I ask too much. I know that it’s difficult for me to fit in your world, but I’m trying. I’m trying because I love you! I can try to fix whatever I did or did not. Just, please. Tell me how,” she begged.
Max wasn’t a woman who pleads in a relationship. The times were guys dumped her, she handled it and moved on. But now, it was different. A year of relationship with Spencer was enough for her to admit that she could do whatever he asked for because she knew - or she thought - it was mutual.
β€œI don’t want to hurt you. And my job eventually would do that. You deserve better, Max. Much better than me. I’m sorry.”
Max was still so shocked that she couldn’t say anything when Spencer grabbed his jacket and left the apartment.
She only reacted when the silence engulfed the space, sitting on the floor, with her knees on her chest and her arms wrapping them. She was trying to protect herself, but the pain was so overwhelming that she only could cry.
Loud sobs filled the empty room for hours. -
Spencer woke up the following day with an ache in his chest and a pounding head. He didn’t sleep at all. He repeated that what he did had to be done for Max’s safety, although it would mean that she’d hate him for the rest of her life.
Tara could say that the genius wasn’t okay when he got to the bullpen. But she didn’t mention it.
The team was having a hard time trying to catch an unsub that targeted them and their families. Emily instructed anyone to be careful, although they would have police protection.
JJ, Will, and the kids moved to a safe house. The same did Matt and his family. Emily warned her mom just in case, although it was less probably she could be targeted. Rossi sent Krystal to a safe house as well. Tara lived with Emily, Luke with Penelope, having a police patrol in their streets constantly.
Spencer had a police patrol in his street, but he didn’t want to drag Max to this ordeal. Knowing her, she wouldn’t accept having the police on her building and not doing her life as she does daily. That’s why Spencer thought it was better if she was not linked with him by any means. The unsub would discard her as a target. He had to push her out of his life and, consequently, out of the unsub’s radar.
Emily called the team to the conference room to update them about the case.
β€œThere is a lead, but nothing guarantees that we can catch this guy. In the meantime, JJ and Matt will help us with the case from the safety houses. We are the field task group right now,” Emily informed. Everyone nodded. β€œOkay, about the lead we have. Garcia, check the coordinates I gave you. We have to go there and take our chance.”
β€œOn it,” Garcia replied, tipping on her keyboard. -
Five days passed since Spencer broke up with her, and Max wasn’t doing okay. She tried. She told herself that maybe it was a misunderstanding and Spencer would come back to talk to her. It didn’t happen.
What’s coming next after the denying stage?: the anger. Even if Max thought Spencer could have reasons, she was sure he didn’t tell her the truth. One year of relationship was enough to know some clues about Spencer’s behavior. Max knew something had happened, but she didn’t pinpoint it. Did he find love with another woman? Was Spencer in trouble? Was he tired of her?
Answers. Okay, maybe Max would accept the breakup, but she needed the truth. That was what she needed.
After her shift, Max grabbed her purse and headed to the BAU. Maybe Spencer was away working in a case, but if that was the scenario, perhaps someone actually could explain to her what was happening with Spencer: Penelope.
β€œHoney, I’m sorry. It’s not my story to tell, but I’m sure Spencer will think better about it, and he will come back to you,” Penelope tried to reassure her after Max told her what happened with Spencer.
Garcia was dying to tell her about the unsub, but she couldn’t do that. Maybe Spencer had other reasons, and she didn’t want to fuck it up. Nonetheless, it broke her heart to see Max so afflicted.
β€œIt doesn’t work like that, Penelope. I don’t want to be harsh, but if he would get to regret this, the reason must be convincing enough. I’m mad at him, although the fact I love him with my entire being. Things shouldn’t be like this. He should be able to trust me. But if he can not do that, there is nothing more I could do,” Max sighed. β€œAre you sure there is no other woman? I’m sorry, I know he’s your friend, but everything happened so suddenly that I don’t know what to think,” Max admitted guilt.
β€œIt’s okay. Don’t apologize for that. And for what I know and I could see, the genius loves you like I never saw him love anybody. I don’t think that would be why he did it,” Garcia hypothesized.
Max nodded, trying to believe in what Penelope told her. Defeated, she left the BAU heading home. Max didn’t get the answers she needed. Maybe she would never get them.
-
A defeated team entered the bullpen two days after. They were tired and angry. The lead they had was an end road. And the unsub killed two more victims only to taunt them.
Passing the glass doors and even before they could reach their desks, a firm voice was heard coming from the conference room.
β€œSpencer Reid, bring your not-so-smart-ass here immediately!” Garcia shouts. Tara and Luke stared at Garcia and then Spencer, who had a confused look.
β€œGarcia, what’s this?” Emily asked, not amused at the rough interpellation.
β€œWith all due respect, boss. I need to have a serious talk with the resident genius right now. If you knew what I know, you would agree with me.”
β€œWhat? What do you know?” Spencer rebutted.
β€œOkay. I see. But, please, can we skip the yelling part?” Emily said, moving to her office. She hasn’t the energy to deal with domestics issues right now.
β€œYeah. I’m sorry, boss. Reid? Are you coming or not?”
β€œI don’t know if it’s a good idea...” He stuttered.
β€œC’mon, Reid. Just do what she says for everyone’s sake,” Rossi urged, moving to his office as well.
The genius strolled to the conference room, unsure why Garcia was so mad at him.
β€œWhat did you do?” Garcia interjected.
β€œI don’t know what you’re talking about, and all the fuss out there? Honestly, Garcia? We had terrible days in New York believing that we could catch this unsub. Nobody is in the mood,” an annoyed Spencer spoke.
β€œYou broke up with Max,” Garcia yelled. Spencer’s eyes widened.
β€œHow do you know - β€œ Spencer tried to ask.
β€œShe told me,” Garcia cut him off. β€œAnd, honestly, Reid? The β€˜demanding job’ bullshit? I don’t buy it, and she doesn’t, too,” Penelope said, arms crossed over her chest.
Spencer downcasted his gaze. He was embarrassed. But mostly mad at himself for the damage he did to Max. Of course, Max wouldn’t believe him. She’s smart enough to know that he was lying. He didn’t tell her the truth and hurt her more than he intended to.
β€œDid she tell you that?”
β€œShe knows something is off. The poor girl believed that you had another woman! She told me that she thinks she is not enough for you, and you got tired of her!”
β€œThat’s not true! I love her!” Spencer defended.
β€œNice way to show it,” Garcia scoffed.
β€œI’m trying to protect her! You know why! You have seen what this guy does to his victims. I can’t stand the thought that something like that could happen to Max. I can’t...”
β€œBut you lied to her, Spencer. That’s not the way either. You still can protect her without breaking her heart!”
β€œFuck. What have I done?” Spencer lamented.
β€œYou fucked it up, pal. Really bad. But she needs to know, though. Even if Max will never forgive you, she deserves to know,” Garcia pointed.
-
Spencer rushed to Max’s apartment. He hadn’t precisely thought what to say, but Garcia is right. Max deserves the truth.
When he got to her door, Spencer knocked three times. But he got no answer. Was she at home? It was nearly 7 pm. Her shift ended at 5.30. Weird. Maybe she went to Michelle’s or her dad’s. Taking his phone, Spencer dialed Max’s number. It went directly to voice mail. Did she block him? Maybe something happened to her.
Spencer started to panic.
He used his spare key to get in.
It was Wednesday. The apartment was as if she had left in the morning and wasn’t returned home yet. Some cups were scattered in the sink, the newspaper from Tuesday on the coffee table.
He tried calling her again. Voicemail.
Spencer got a bad feeling.
He called to her work, and they didn’t see Max since Monday. The same said his dad and Michelle.
Something happened to Max. Spencer called Emily. She told him not to freak out yet but still instructed Garcia to collect everything she could to have Max’s whereabouts.
The clock struck midnight, and Spencer was in the BAU with Garcia, Prentiss, Rossi, and Tara.
Spencer was right. Garcia reviewed the footage from Max’s building, and she didn’t make it home Monday afternoon. They checked every camera available in Max’s regular route. When she left the metro station, they noticed that a car had followed her. In the next corner, Max had disappeared.
Spencer wanted to slam his head to the wall.
β€œIt’s my fault. It’s my fucking fault,” Spencer lamented.
β€œDon’t say that. We don’t know if we’re talking about the same unsub,” Emily tried to reassure him.
β€œEven though, why in the Earth you thought it was a good idea not to warn her?” Rossi pointed. The three girls in the room looked at David with scolding eyes. Spencer nodded.
β€œRossi is right. It was the dumbest thing I did. And I have done several dumb things in my life,” Spencer sighed.
β€œWe’ll find her,” Garcia sentenced.
β€œI have to tell this to her family,” Spencer mumbled.
β€œWe’ll figure it out. For now, I think I should be the one who talks to the Brenners.” Emily pointed.
-
When Max woke up and opened her eyes, she noticed she was tied up to a chair. She couldn’t move. Her feet were tied up too. It was a dark room, barely illuminated by an old bulb. Then she remembered. She walked from the metro, almost reaching her building when two men grabbed her and pulled her into a car. They blindfolded her, and when she tried to release herself from their grip, one of them hit her with a gun. She lost consciousness until now.
β€˜Are you fucking kidding me,’ she mumbled to herself, now feeling the pain in her head.
β€œOh, the princess is awake,” a male voice teased Max. She couldn’t see him; he was behind her.
β€œWhat do you want? Money? I don’t have any. I don’t know you either. Why I’m here?” Max asked, trying to look calm although she was scared.
β€œAlways do you ask so many questions? You strike me like a bossy girlβ€”no wonder why Dr. Reid likes you,” the man quipped. Max’s heart stopped hearing Spencer’s name.
β€œSpencer? What about him? Is he okay?” She rushed to ask.
β€œEasy girl, everything will be revealed at the right moment. But I’m curious about how you can be worried about him when he dumped you,” the man questioned, mocking at her. Max huffed.
β€œFuck you!”
β€œHey! Watch that mouth! I don’t have as much patience as your boyfriend - sorry, ex-boyfriend,” the man taunted again. This time Max assumed it was prudent not to say anything. But now, she was sure that this ordeal had to be with Spence, the BAU, or both.
β€˜What an appropriate time,’ Max thought.
β€œTry to sleep, princess. You’ll need it,” the man said and left the room.
Max tried to focus on where she was. She suspected she was in a basement but not in a house; the room was huge. It was the night she guessed because there was a tiny window at the top of the front wall, and she could see red, blue, and green lights, as the street advertises usually has. The small window let her see a grey building in a corner. An alley, perhaps? She tried to think, but she was tired. After some hours, she indeed fell asleep.
The man returned after the sun came out. Max opened her eyes, feeling someone looking at her. When she saw who it was, she groaned. She hasn’t dreamed the thing. It was real.
β€œOkay, princess. It’s time to start the show.” The man piped, smirking. Then he opened a briefcase and pulled out a cellphone and several pictures of the BAU team and their families. Scattering over a large table, Max could see all the photos. One of those picked her attention: it showed Spencer leaving her building. He was wearing the same clothes the day he broke up with her. She could see his face clearly. Spencer was crying. A lump stuck in Max’s throat.
β€œThe good doctor doesn’t look happy there,” the man pointed. β€œThat’s the reason you’re here, princess.”
β€œI don’t understand,” Max mumbled quietly.
β€œYou’ll see. I have been tracking the BAU for a while. They ruined my life, and I’ll return them the favor. And you’ll help me. They will lose a loved one, and you’re the doctor’s one.”
β€œYou’re wrong. I’m not Spencer’s loved one. Did do you remember he broke up with me?” Max said, trying not to break in front of the man. Max understood what Spencer tried to do, and she was trying to make it work, although it broke her heart.
β€œDon’t fool yourself. Doctor Reid tried to fool me, breaking up with you so I wouldn’t pick you. But I’m smartest than the BAU’s genius. And for that, you’ll be the first I kill.”
The man’s laugh made Max wince. She would die there.
β€œYou don’t have to do that,” Max muttered as a preservation reflex.
β€œOh, honey. I have, and I will. But first, we’ll have some fun. Smile!” the unsub said, shooting a pic of her with the cellphone. Then he pressed the send button.
-
The buzz of Spencer’s phone woke him up. He had fallen asleep in a chair with his head over the round table. Penelope was nose deep on her laptop in front of him. Spencer grabbed his phone and saw a message with a pic of Max attached.
β€œFuck,” he muttered. β€œHe has her. He has Max!” the young doctor yelled, showing the image to Garcia. The text read: β€˜Did you think I wouldn’t notice her? If you want to see her again, you have to know who I am and remember how YOU ruined my life.’
That was the proof they needed to know they were dealing with the same unsub.
β€œOkay, we won’t lose him again,” Prentiss declared when everybody joined the conference room. JJ and Matt were there too. They knew what had happened, and they promised to help to find Max and the unsub. Penelope ran every piece of video or photo they could find.
Rossi and JJ searched in every case the BAU worked with the same MO. Emily called other agencies for help. The time was against them.
Spencer tried to assist, but he couldn’t do anything but blame himself. Tara helped him to clear his head a bit so he could provide some clues that could be useful.
Thursday night, they got a name: Albert Pricket. This unsub was captured by the BAU ten years ago, but he escaped last year, and nobody notified the BAU. Now he had a vendetta, mainly focused on Reid, who was the agent that took him down the first time. Now every made sense. That didn’t make Spencer feels better, though.
β€œOkay, now we have to know where he is,” Prentiss mused.
At that very moment, Spencer’s phone went off. Garcia was tracking the call.
β€œHello?”
β€œDoctor Reid. I guess you know who I am now,” the man spoke.
β€œAlbert. I know,” Spencer replied.
β€œStill the genius, right?” Pricket mocked.
β€œAlbert, I need to know Max is alive and okay,” Spencer demanded.
β€œShe’s alive. I can assure you that. But β€˜okay’ could be relative, right honey?” The man asked rhetorically. β€œYou could see for yourself. Your tech can show you.”
Everyone looked at Penelope, who frantically typed in her laptop. When she indeed found something, her face went pale. After turning the laptop screen, everybody could see a live video that showed Max tied up to a chair, full of bruises on her face and dried blood on her forehead and arms.
β€œWhat did you do to her!” Spencer freaked out.
β€œCalm down, doctor. It’s her fault. She didn’t cooperate that much. But now she is ready to send you a message,” Albert said and hung up immediately, so he wouldn’t be traced.
The looks turned to the screen when they heard Albert’s voice.
β€œCome on, princess. Now it’s your turn. You can talk to him. Tell him what you need to say,” he demanded.
Spencer’s eyes were a blur from the tears that started to fall.
A tired and beaten Max looked at the camera.
β€œSpencer? Are you seeing this? Right? I - I’m okay. But I don’t know for how long. I need to say things to you, though. Even if you don’t love me anymore...” Max’s voice trembled, so she had to pause a bit.
Spencer was fully crying right now.
β€œHey, Walt. Listen to me, please.” That made Spencer perk up and narrow his eyes. She knew he hated his middle name, even β€˜Walt,’ the short for Walter. Max never called him Walt.
β€œThis is your fault. You know that already...”
The team couldn’t believe that Max was telling those things. But Spencer didn’t say anything and was listening carefully.
β€œEven though, you need to know that I loved you. Do you remember our first kiss? In that crowded club? I didn’t know I could fall so fast for you. That night, with the neon lights over our heads, I saw stars, and I felt sparks. I should have known you would dump me like trash. After my death, maybe you would hide our story in a box in your basement. I don’t know, and I don’t care. You can run away to another state or country, but your mind always will return to the same place. Where we promised to love each other forever, that promise you broke so quickly...”
β€œEnough! Stop talking. Don’t waste the time you have left,” Albert cut off. β€œOkay, doctor Reid. That’s all. Now you would have to live with the guilt.”
Then the transmission ended.
β€œGarcia?” Emily urged.
β€œI couldn’t track it. He used UK IPs and Canadians and then Americans and finally Australians...” Garcia trailed off.
β€œSpence,” JJ spoke, seeing the genius deep in thoughts. β€œSurely she said that because Pricket forced her.”
β€œNo! I’m trying to figure out. Max never calls me Walt. I mean, never! And the facts she recounted? They are not true. Our first kiss was in that elevator!” Spencer pointed to the glass doors.
β€œSo why did she say all those things?” Tara questioned.
β€œThey are bread crumbs,” Prentiss concluded.
β€œA location?” Rossi interjected.
β€œA club. But Max couldn’t have known that. A crowded place? There must be people around. My box in a basement? I don’t have a basement in my building. She is in one. Where did we promise to love each other? Not another state, not another country! Garcia, the transmission, in what part of DC jumped?”
β€œOh, you’re the genius couple!” She chirped with excitement. β€œDowntown. Coincidentally, an area where Pricket’s family had a factory.”
β€œOkay, let’s go!” Prentiss instructed.
-
They got to the abandoned factory. It was dark, but the factory was in an alley that led to a building with neon lights at the entrance. Surely it was a nightclub. Spencer knew that it was the place. Max described that exact location.
They hopped off the SUVs and prepared to get in. How would they do it? The surprise factor would work? What if Albert knows they are there?
With the SWAT team’s help, they covered every entrance and scanned the place with heat detector monitors. Then left side of the building showed movement. So they prepared to storm in.
They were about to bridge when a scream was heard.
β€œMax!” Spencer gasped, running inside the building, aiming his gun. The team and the SWAT followed suit.
They didn't count on the men guarding the building for Albert. Seeing the police, the men started to shoot them. Prentiss and Luke covered Spencer, shooting back. The young doctor wasn’t paying attention. He just wanted to reach the basement where Max was.
As the rest of the team and SWAT took care of Albert’s associates, Spencer reached the basement and stopped immediately when he saw Albert holding Max from behind. A knife threatening her throat. Spencer pointed his gun to Albert.
β€œDon’t even think about it, doctor Reid. You move, she dies. Understood?”
Spencer rose his hands in surrender. Still with his gun in one hand.
β€œOkay, okay. I’m not moving. Just leave her alone. She hasn’t to do anything with this. It’s me who you want, not her,” Spencer tried to convince him.
β€œDrop your weapon!” Albert yelled.
β€œOkay! Easy Albert. You don’t have to do this,” Spencer said, kneeling to put his gun down.
β€œSpencer, don’t. Shoot him! He’ll escape if you don’t stop him,” Max shouted.
β€œI can’t. He would hurt you,” Spencer explained, still kneeled but with a grasp on his gun.
β€œYeah, princess. The good doctor is right!” Pricket added. β€œAnd the rest of you don’t dare to enter the room, or I kill them both!” Albert said, hearing the BAU team and SWAT approaching.
β€œHe’s a liar. He’ll kill me anyway. Spencer, please… end this,” Max rebutted, tears falling down her cheeks. Spencer’s heart broke seeing her so helpless.
β€œYour gun!” Albert yelled again, tightening his grasp on Max. Spencer quickly put his gun down and kicked it aside, far from him. β€œNow, doctor Reid, tell your ex-girlfriend what you want to say to her before we get out of here!”
β€œI’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” Spencer mumbled, making eye contact with Max. She looked at him in understanding.
β€œI know; I still love you, Spencer. And I’m sorry too,” Max muttered, looking at him intensively as she wanted to say something else.
Spencer frowned.
In a second, and feeling that Pricket holds on to her lose a bit, Max kicked Albert’s ankle. Pricket hissed, and Max rushed to move away from the knife, but he still had her arm gripped, and the blade cut a bit of Max’s neck skin. Spencer rushed over them and launched over Albert, plummeting to the floor. In the fall, Pricket drop the knife and Spencer punched his face. But Pricket fought back, kicking Reid’s ribs.
β€œSpencer!” Max yelled and the rest of the team stormed in. Matt and Luke rushed over Pricket as Rossi and Prentiss stopped Spencer.
JJ rushed over to Max to see if she was okay.
When Spencer noticed that Pricket wasn’t a threat anymore, he turned to see Max. They locked eyes, and she ran to him. Spencer opened his arms to her.
β€œIt’s okay. It’s okay. You’re safe now,” Spencer mumbled in Max’s hair as they melted in a tight embrace. She was shaking.
β€œHe hurt you…”
β€œNo. No, I’m fine. You’re hurt, though,” Spencer mentioned, looking Max’s bruised and cut.
β€œI’m sorry. I should have been more careful,” Max tried to apologize.
β€œPlease, don’t say that. You had no way of knowing,” Spencer told Max.
β€œThat’s why you broke up with me, didn't you?” She asked carefully.
β€œYes. It was stupid. I hurt you. I didn't think this could happen. I’m sorry. I was so stupid, I should have realized that he already knew everything about us. I thought I could really protect you. I’m sorry, Max,” Spencer apologized, taking her hands in his.
β€œAll those things I said at the camera... I didn't mean it,” Max explained.
β€œI know. That's how we found you. I knew you wanted to attract my attention to this. You know I hate my middle name. You did good, Max,” Spencer said.
β€œThere was a moment when I really thought I'd never see you again,” Max sputtered, remembering the past hours in that basement and tightening the hold on Spencer’s hands.
β€œYou were so brave. You held on. You did so well. I know that my words could mean nothing to you now, but I’m so proud of you.”
Max looked at Spencer and shook her head.
β€œI know why you did it. It wasn’t the smartest thing, but I get it. I only need to know how you really feel about me. If you want me out of your life for good.”
Max’s voice trembled, but she wanted to stay strong because this could be the real end of their relationship.
β€œI’m such a jerk. I know. But this jerk loves you so much that it hurts. I’m still afraid of what this job can do to us, but I don't want to lose you. I love you, Max Brenner. And still, I want to protect you. I won’t fail next time. I promise.”
Max's eyes went glassy, but this time with happy tears.
β€œWe can protect each other, Spencer. It’s not only on you. We can do it together,” Max said, reaching his cheek to stroke it lovingly. Spencer leaned into her touch.
β€œCan you forgive me? Can we start again?” He asked cautiously.
β€œAre you asking me to be your girlfriend again?” She teased. Spencer chuckled.
β€œYes. Would you be my girlfriend, Max? Again?”
Max giggled and wrapped her arms around Spencer's neck, kissing his cheek.
β€œYes. I would love to. But next time, if some freak is haunting you, let me know first, okay?”
β€œDeal,” Spencer agreed, hugging her tightly.

this past year has been hard. but throughout it all, tim has been there for you. he’s helped with the kids, and has let you cry on his shoulder. and slowly, feelings grew for him. but with gibbs rule 12, never date a co-worker, that was hard. after the navy yard bombing and getting harper dearing, you realized that you wanted to spend more time with your kids, so you retired. a little after you retired, tim asked you out on a date. you said yes. a few dates later, the two of you became official. and your kids loved him. he proposed to you, and the two of you got married. you changed yours and your kids last names to mcgee, and had two more kids with tim. they were twins: seth andrew and mackynzie β€œkenzie” james (mj for short). you learn that max’s husband divorced her, and her and spencer got together. when you got divorced, the judge asked spencer if he wanted any visitation rights since you got full custody. he said no, and you were ok with that. when you and tim got engaged, your kids started calling him β€œdad” and β€œdaddy”.
simply to say, you couldn’t be happier

For your 100 Drabble, if possible, the phrase, β€˜ you know I love you, right?’ with the pairing of Maxcer. Thank you!
When she finds him, he’s sitting on the curb outside the house with his head in his hands. He startles when Max takes a seat next to him.
β€œI’m sorry,” he mutters.
β€œDon’t be.”
β€œNo, they’re your friends – this was important and I messed it up because I can’t get through a conversation without having flashbacks and freaking out!”
β€œIt’s fine, really. Andrea shouldn’t have brought it up. Hey Spencer,” she says. Her voice is so soft. β€œYou know I love you, right?”
He finally lifts his head to meet her eyes. She smiles as she repeats those words. β€œI love you.”
It’s the very first time but she says them with such confidence it makes him want to cry all over again. β€œI love you, too,” he whispers.

Spencer Reid’s three loves
you know how they say you fall in love 3 times in your life? i think these are Spencer’s…
1: First love
this is a puppy love, one that you may look back on and think that it wasn’t love, but it was; it was what you knew love to be…
Lila Archer
Tumblr media
2: hard love
this is the love that hurts, and teaches you the reality of what love is other than just the innocence. it may be tough, but it’s still a pure love
Maeve Donovan
Tumblr media
3: unexpected love
this will come at random and you may not be ready for it after the last love, but it feels right and safe still
Max Brenner

I’ve been thinking about this question:
Do you think Spencer Reid would have had his child/children homeschooled because of his past of being bullied in school?
I think he would have had his kid/kids homeschooled, with having to convince Maeve/Einstein/Max greatly (I personally prefer pretending that Maeve is alive, or pretending that Reid ended up with Einstein [please do not interact if you pretend that JJ, or worse, Cat, is the mother of Reid’s kid/kids]).
I know my characters Oliver and Sayuri Marshall, Thomas and Evangeline Maxwell, and Andrew and Lacey Mitchell would all have a mistrust of the schooling system and would have their children homeschooled, especially since the children are all neurodivergent, despite that their close friend, Miranda Schneider, is a kindergarten teacher, and another close friend and Miranda’s husband, Brett Schneider, is an elementary school counselor.

Spencer Reid x Reader x Maxine Brenner
Hey guys I’m back! Sorry if this story is bad bcs all those common vocabs I’ve been using over and over. I hope you enjoy!
Masterlist
-
Leaving Quantico wasn’t the best option for your life but you had to. Your parents were divorced and they leaved your little twin brother and sister alone. They abandoned them and left town. What kind of parents were they? Your siblings were on young age to suffer this kind of life. You moved because you the only one family they had. You had to be surrogate parents for them.
So all you had to do was moved to New York started a new life and leaved your previous life before. You filled transferred form and gave it to chief unit, then you moved to FBI Field Office.
It wasn’t easy for you to leave your team. They were the best team for the past 8 years. Everything you been through, you shared with them. You couldn’t hold your tears when you told them about you moving out. Especially to your ex, Spencer. You two were a thing for years. It wasn’t really a boyfriend girlfriend thing, but the feeling between you were strong.
You remembered when you talked to him, you said that we had to end this relationship between us, because you didn’t believe in long distance relationship. He hugged you while cried and you said to him that he could find someone else, but you hope that he would wait for you until your siblings step on college and you might move back to Quantico. He nodded and you left the building.
3 years passed, your siblings finally stepped on college, and fortunately they both got into Georgetown University in Washington. What a coincidence for you to moved back to your old life, in Quantico. So you and your siblings moved out from New York, to your old apartment, which was lucky for you no one lives there. You helped them packed their needs to stayed at dorm at their college.
You already sumbit the transfer file to Headquarter and within days, you’ll be back on duty.
β€œKids, i’ll be gone for hours. I need to go to the Headquarters to sign several documents. Order whatever you wants, okay?” You informed them and they nodded. You kissed their forehead and leave building.
On your way to office, you felt your stomach hurt, your palm sweaty, nauseous, the common feeling when you anxiety. Not because you will meet your friends. But it was because of Spencer. 3 years no contact, what will happened when you meet him?
Hours passed and you finally made it to the building. You walked to lift and press level 8 button to the Director office first to sign some papers. After it finished, you headed back to lift and press level 6.
The lift open and you walked out. You slowly examine the this level 6 which brought you back to the old memories. Nothings changed. Everything was still the same. You pushed the glass door and and you found your old teammate were gathered and lauged together. Until Emily’s eyes caught your presence.
β€œYLN?” When she mention your name, all the teams eyes stared on you. β€œYLN.” She call out your name second time and she hugged you.
β€œYLN YLN YLN!!!” Garcia was the one who yelled your name and hugged you as well. β€œOMG YLN i was thinking about you like minutes ago and now you were standing before me you black raven hair.” She pulled the hug and stared you like you were a fugitive.
Then you hugged Rossi. β€œI can’t believe i had a chance to see you again, young lady.” You smiled and pulled the hug.
β€œYN, it’s been a years. You haven’t changed a bit.” Tara greet you and gave you a brief hug.
Then you hugged JJ, longer than everyone. β€œFinally meeting you in flesh and bones. No longer video calls for us.”
Then you shook hand with Matt Simmons and Luke Alvez, new members of the team. And they told you that Morgan quit from bureau, he married and has a son, Hotch out because he was stalked by unsub. Damn, you missed so many things that happened to the team.
β€œWait JJ, what do you mean no longer video calls with YN?” Tara asked JJ. She smiled and winked at you.
You showed them the papers you been hold since you got there. β€œI’m transferred back in here.” Everyone cheered included Simmons and Alvez. β€œSo... what’s the occasion you guys laughed minutes ago?” When you asked the question, suddenly they went silent. β€œAnd... where’s Spencer?”
β€œOh he went out w-β€œ before Simmons could finished, Emily interruped him.
β€œUhm... why don’t you come to my office and handed me the files of your transferred.” You furrowed your eyebrows but you followed her.
Behind you, Alvez asked whispered. β€œWhat’s the matter? Why Emily cut Simmons?”
β€œNewbie, you couldn’t asked that question. Don’t you guys know Spencer was her ex. They were dating long ago before YN moved out of town.” Garcia explained to them who didn’t know.
In the other side, you sat on chair and gave her the files. β€œSo, how’s the twins, Malcolm and Melody?” Emily asked while she open the files.
You smiled. β€œThey’ve been better, Em. They never disappointed me as a sister. Yeah, sometimes they disobeyed me, but they just kids.”
After a long conversation with Emily, you out of her room and walked to the lift, because you’d get back to your place. The door was open and when you about to enter, you stopped because you saw a couple kissing. Your intention was to looked away, but you ended up looked at the man who kissed the woman. The familiar face even his face was seen half. Your jaw dropped when he pulled the kissed and started you in disbelief. β€œYN?” β€œYN.” He called your name twice, but the tone when he called you the second time was weak.
β€œSpencer...,” you called his name in whispered.
β€œSpencer, who’s this? You knew her?” The woman beside her started to asked Spencer because the tension has begun between three of you. β€œHi I’m Max, you must be Spencer’s friends, right?” She asked you friendly even thought she knew things were not right.
Spencer couldn’t speak any word because he shocked you just stood before him without warning. Then Max pushed him out of lift. β€œI’ll meet you downstairs. Go get what you need.” She smiled and the door was closed.
β€œSo...,” you braced up and started the conversation. β€œIs she... your...?” You couldn’t finished the simple question you supposed to asked, but you knew he knew the rest of the question. He nodded. β€œI thought you... nevermind.” You walked fast to the lift which happened to be opened on the right time and leave him alone.

Maxcer HC/Blurbs: Career Day
Another one for Maxcer HC/Blurbs/Mini-fics! This one if for my dear friend @dreatine. Hope you like it! Any like, reblog, or comment is appreciated.
Request: β€œFor the Maxcer request blurb: Before Max gets the Smithsonian job, she’s still a teacher to 7-8 year olds. So, she decides to bring Spencer in to talk to the class about his job during career day. He charms them and Max falls deeper for him. Thank you. Peace.”
Word Count: 1k.
Warnings: None.
----------------------------------------------
β€œWhat? You want me to do that?” Spencer asked Max.
β€œYeah. It would be fun. The kids already love everything related to community services. We have been talking about firefighters, nurses, cops...” Max explained to Spencer.
β€œBut I’m a profiler. I catch serial killers for a living. I don’t know if that is appropriate for kids.”
β€œWell. You can skip the serial killer's parts and its darkest details. You can say you catch the bad guys using your brain. I think that’s pretty amazing. And I know the kids will love it!” Max proposed. Reid frowned, considering Max’s words.
β€œI’m glad you can see the bright side of my job,” he chuckled.
β€œOf course I do. You save lives, Spencer. That's something no everyone can say,” Max replied, taking his hand. β€œSo, can I count with you on this?” Spencer nodded, smiling at her. β€œYes! Thank you!” Max wrapped her arms around his neck, peppering kisses on his face. Spencer giggled at the sudden display of affection.
And like this, Spencer just accepted to go to Max’s school on the β€˜career day’ to talk about his job. Max and Spencer were dating for two months now, and the spark between them could be β€˜smelled’ yards of distance, despite neither of them verbatim too much about it yet. The team didn’t say anything to not overwhelming Spencer, but they knew he was totally hooked for Max.
-
β€œGood morning class!” Max greeted her students with a smile. Spencer was next to her and only waved to the kids. He didn’t know why, but he was nervous.
β€œGood morning Miss Brenner!” The kids greeted her back.
β€œWell, class. As you know, today is β€˜career day’ so I brought you a special guest to talk to us. He is Spencer Reid. Shall we say hello to Spencer?”
β€œHi Spencer!” The kids chorused.
β€œHi!” Spencer replied, waving again.
β€œSpencer is going to tell us what he does in his job, and then you can ask him questions about it, okay?”
Max looked at Spencer, giving him a reassuring smile, and then she sat on her desk, leaving Spencer with all the kids' eyes focused on him.
β€œOkay. As miss Brenner said, my name is Spencer Reid. I work with the FBI in the Behavioral Analysis Unit. You may ask what that is, right? So, well, I can tell you that we do something pretty similar to cops do: we catch the bad guys, but we use the psychology to do that. It’s pretty close to doing magic, you know?”
The kids seemed genuinely interested in Spencer's words, although they couldn't understand some of them.
β€œAre you show us how you do magic in your job?” A girl asked.
β€œYou want me to do that?” Spencer asked the class, smiling.
β€œYeeessssss!” The kids replied enthusiastically.
β€œOkay. I’ll need some assistance here. Ms. Brenner, could you please lend me your board marker, please?” Max nodded and handed him the marker. β€œCan I borrow that boxes too?”
Spencer gave each child an empty box. Then he gave the marker to one of the girls.
β€œI’m going to be outside the classroom for a minute. You give the marker to any one of your classmates so they could hide it in the box. When I come back, everyone will have their box closed, and I’m going to find out who has the marker, okay? I’ll let you know who has it β€˜reading your minds,’” Spencer said in a mystery voice, rolling his fingers. The kids giggled.
Spencer looked at Max and grinned. Max swear that she would melt in that spot right then. He seemed so focused on the task in hand, and the kids were pretty interested.
When Spencer left the room, the children decided who would hide the marker and then returned to their seats.
Spencer came back, and the play began. He started to pace in the classroom, looking at each child. Some of them shifted in their seat; other averted their gaze from him. Then he sat in front of them to analyze their micro-expressions.
β€œOkay. Did you know that face’s expressions are very important when you're trying to know when someone is telling the truth or hiding something? If we furrow our brows or twitch our noses, that could mean uneasy or nervousness, for example,” the young doctor explained to the class. Some giggles and coughs were heard between the kids. β€œBut! Also, the body language is very important: rubbing your hands in your pants, bouncing your legs, arch your back, or sinking in your seat could be helpful to find out who has the marker.” Spencer narrowed his eyes, looking at all the kids in the room. The children almost contained their breathing in anticipation. And after some minutes of deliberation, Spencer spoke in a soft voice.
β€œAdrian, could you open your box, please?” Several β€œoh” were heard. They knew Adrian had the marker, but when he opened the box, it was empty. The class was confused. Even Max furrowed and looked at Spencer, puzzled.
β€œOh, maybe I made a mistake? Uhm, weird. But wait a minute, perhaps the marker is trying to escape; what do you say, Adrian?” Spencer said, looking at Adrian’s face, reaching his ear, and pulling the marker. The class erupted in howls, ovations and questions about how he did it.
Max couldn't help but remember when she met Spencer and the magic trick he performed for Sammy at that time. Her heart fluttered at the memory. That man was full of surprises, and she likes that. The awkward, tall, lanky, and shy guy managed to maintain a group of children entertained and interested, making something so simple as a magic trick and showing them how his job was at the same time.
Was she falling for him? Yes. And maybe too fast - considering that she wanted to keep it slow. What she didn't know was he was falling for her as fast as she for him. she wouldn’t find out yet, but the spark continued growing between them.

in the eye of a hurricane
there is quiet
for just a moment
a yellow sky
it has been a month since i broke things off with max. the amount of regret i have is so much. no one knows except max, her husband, and myself. none of my co-workers know, but i work with profilers so they probably suspect something is up. in fact, hotch apparently figured something out. one day, he pulled me aside
in the eye of a hurricane
there is quiet
for just a moment
a yellow sky
β€œreid, what has been going on?”
β€œi cheated on her hotch”
β€œwho did you cheat on her with?”
β€œher sister”
hotch had a look of disappointment on his face.
β€œwhy did you do it, reid?”
i told hotch what happened, and he had an even more disappointed look on his face.
β€œwhat are you going to do about it, reid?”
β€œi’ll figure something out, but i don’t want her to know just yet. we just had tom.”
hotch gave me an ultimatum.
β€œif you don’t tell her by the end of the week, i will tell her, understand?”
i nodded and left his office. on my way home, i thought about what i would do, then an idea popped into my head.
i'll write my way out
overwhelm them with honesty
this is the eye of the hurricane, this is the only
way i can protect my legacy
everyone found out, and i don’t know who was more upset: my team, y/n, or her team. but i did the right thing, right?

My 2nd request for 100 word Drabble, if possible, phrase β€˜You’re adorable, god I love you’ with pairing of Maxcer. ( I just think they’re so cute!)
Thank you. Peace.
Reid lifts the lid of the carefully wrapped box and pulls out a hand-knit, elaborate reindeer sweater. One that precisely matches the oversized one she’s wearing.
β€œTa-da!” Max says, grinning. β€œMy friend in the department made them! I thought we could wear them to Rossi’s Christmas party.”
Reid stares at the sweater and then at her, lost for words. Max’s eyes widen. β€œOh no. Oh it’s too much, isn’t it? I knew I should’ve just gotten you a book or something normal, I was the one who wanted to take everything so slow and here I am giving you the weirdest gift ever but I know you don’t have many good Christmas memories so I thought th–”
A nervous blush colors her cheeks pink as she rambles in that silly sweater that somehow looks so good on her and he just can’t help but reach out and pull her into her arms. β€œYou’re adorable,” he laughs. β€œGod, I love you. And it’s not too much. It’s perfect.”

Spill the beans
Tumblr media
A/n: This is somewhat of an AU. Maxine Brenner exists but she's only a friend to Spencer (who is in a relationship with Y/n) However, the rest of the plot of 'Date Night' (15x06) still occurs. (I hope this makes sense)
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Y/n
Genre: angst, hurt, then comfort and fluff
WC: 2.3k
CW: spoilers for date night | mention of pregnancy | mentions of self-doubt | tiniest allusion to sex
Spencer felt terrible that Maxine, who wasn't part of the BAU, had her family kidnapped. He hoped the last time he had to deal with psychopathic Cat Adams was when she assisted in kidnapping his mother. Something he was still annoyed by.
Spencer had always been protective of the people he loved. Whether that was platonically or romantically. So, as soon as he learned Max was in trouble, he was determined to do everything in his power to make sure her family was safe. Even if that meant playing Cat's ridiculous game and going on a date with her.
SSA Y/n Reid was also fully prepared to help. Until she smelt a fragrant curry that she usually would have liked and thrown up. That was enough for Emily to insist on her staying back with Penelope.
Normally, Y/n would have protested, but settling her stomach with something plain in Garcia's office sounded like a better option. Plus, she wouldn't have to face Cat, who she also despised.
So, with one final kiss and a 'stay safe' to her husband, she went off to Penelope's eccentrically decorated office.
Both of them were hanging off every word they got from the team. Filled with adrenaline despite not being in the field. Y/n could see why Penelope liked her job so much. It was almost like watching a spy movie.
Their attentiveness to the situation meant that both of them saw the kiss. Spencer's passion-filled, heated kiss with Cat. A kiss that Y/n had never seen from a different perspective. A kiss she never thought she would see from a different point of view.
And it was horrible. The jealously she felt for not being in Cat's position. It very nearly made her throw up again, complete nausea washing over her. The room seemed to be closing in around her as the knickknacks that littered the office with joy disappeared.
Y/n's eyes were quickly swelling, and the tears started to stream down her cheeks. Penelope's shock-filled wide eyes traveled from the live feed of Spencer's activity to her sobbing best friend.
Of course, Y/n understood why Spencer did it. She knew about his protective nature all too well.
On multiple occasions, he had insisted on her staying home. Whether it was because she had a cold or she had been shot and signed off by a doctor to go back to work, but her doctor insisted, 'I have 2 more PhDs than her, so I think I know better'. She didn't bother to argue that he didn't hold an MD. That would have just prompted him to get one. Plus, she knew he easily had 4x more medical knowledge than any other human.
Still, not one of those facts stopped the heart-wrenching pain.
"Oh, sweetness, it's okay." Penelope cooed, pulling Y/n into her arms.
Y/n tried not to cry mascara-stained tears all over her new peachy orange dress, but it only took a second for her to fail. Penelope didn't mind at all. She held Y/n tight against her chest until her tears slowed up.
"P, what was that?" Y/n asked. There was no anger in her tone, just sadness. She never thought she could be so hurt by something that wasn't Spencer getting physically hurt.
The only thing stuck in her brain was the image of Spencer's hands grasping Cat's cheeks as he deeply kissed her, intense as he'd kissed Y/n before.
It was impossible for her not to believe there wasn't some emotion in it. From there, her mind drifted to the possibility that Spencer enjoyed it, that he'd gotten bored of her, even that this was the end.
She didn't think the chances were high, but self-doubt is a vicious cycle.
Penelope sat her down in one of the chairs in the bat cave, taking the other one next to her. She was having a hard time figuring what to say. "Y/n... you know he loves you, right?"
Y/n faintly nodded, trying to listen to the logical part of her brain and remind herself of the past 7 years. All the joyful memories, loving moments, special seconds. How much she adored her husband.
She twisted the ring on her finger as she thought. "Of course." She answered. "He reminds me every day." Y/n was able to smile at the thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, of times she'd heard those 3 words come out of his mouth.
In every situation possible. When he just woke up in the morning, in the middle of a random morning that they'd spent silently reading in their apartment, over an incredible meal he'd cooked her for dinner, during one of their deep late-night conversations and the most when he was graced with the gift, as he put it, to see her naked.
Penelope smiled softly at her and the thought of her favorite couple before continuing. "He just had to do it, honey. You know how much he cares about and defends his family." Y/n nodded. "If kissing her was the only possible way, and I believe it was, for him to do that, he would," Penelope assured her. It was things Y/n already knew, but it was reassuring to hear it out loud. "He'd do it for anyone, and that's what makes him so great." She reminded.
Y/n nodded. "It's going to be okay, right?" She requested more of Penelope's consoling words. She wished it would be, but there wasn't exactly a playbook for what to do if your husband had to kiss a psychopathic serial killer to save his friend's family.
The blonde couldn't nod quick enough. "Of course it is. He's going to feel terrible when he gets here. But you're a profiler, so I know you could see that look of disgust on his face. And, it wasn't just at her, it was at himself as well." Penelope reminded her.
Y/n had seen it, it didn't register to start with, but it was now the vision in her brain. The look afterward. That was all that mattered.
"Okay, we're going to be fine. Better than fine, amazing." Y/n spoke quietly to herself like it was a mantra. "He loves us, and it will all be back to normal. It was just one bad day."
Penelope's eyes widened once again, snapping her head back around to look at Y/n. "Us." She caught Y/n's Freudian slip. "You said us not, me. Us." She repeated as if she was trying to make sense of it. Her brain was practically exploding.
Y/n's mouth dropped open when she realized what she'd said. Still, a smile found its way onto her face. "He doesn't know." She quietly admitted. "I found out last week."
That's all it took for Penelope to let out a loud squeal, realizing it wasn't a mistake. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!" She loudly repeated. "Ahh, I'm so thrilled." She exclaimed, clapping her hands.
Y/n giggled at her excited reaction. Penelope quickly burst into a Reid-like ramble about how overjoyed she was.
It halted when Spencer walked in, clearing his throat.
"I'll give you two a moment," Penelope mentioned, composed but unable to wipe the smile off her face. She quickly slipped out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Y/n could almost see her jumping up and down in her bright pink high heels in the middle of the corridor, a big grin on her face.
Her happy thoughts stopped when she looked up into Spencer's deep brown eyes. They were full of guilt, regret, sorrow, worry, and pain. All the things she hated seeing Spencer feeling.
Y/n nodded to the seat Penelope had previously sat in, and Spencer took it. He tentatively reached out to hold her hands, almost nervous she wouldn't let him. She held eye contact with him, holding his hands tightly. They were so familiar, slightly cold, veiny with slender fingers. The same fingers she'd slipped a wedding ring on, a wedding ring he'd never voluntarily took off.
"I am so, so sorry." Spencer started off, unsure of what to say. He had thought about nothing but what he would say since he essentially cheated on his wife. There really was no possible way to explain it.
Spencer couldn't stand the thought of Y/n being heartbroken and all because of him. It was a physically sickening feeling.
He rubbed his thumb over her knuckles, getting lost in her eyes. "I love you, Y/n. So, so, so much. And I regret it so much. I would take it back if I had the chance. I just had to do it. And I know that's not an explanation, but I just... I don't know..." He ended, tears running down his cheeks.
Y/n felt the tears start to well in her own eyes. "Spence, I know." She affirmed. It brought him an enormous amount of relief. "It's okay."
It still didn't stop how terrible he felt. He just shook his head. "It's not okay, baby. I kissed someone else. I'm a horrible husband." He cried, curls starting to fall into his face. "I just can't believe it happened. I always knew you deserved someone so much better than me, but you just accepted the horrible thing I've done." He was almost hyperventilating, the tears falling faster than Y/n thinks she'd ever seen.
"Baby, slow down." Y/n urged him, squeezing his hands. She reached a finger up to stroke the tears on his cheek. "You've got to breath." She reminded him. Still, she couldn't keep the self-doubt down. "I've just got to know, did you enjoy it?"
Spencer felt like his heart had been stung. He couldn't shake his head fast enough. "No, no, no. Please don't think that." He begged. "I wasn't thinking about anyone but you." He tried to assure her. He couldn't imagine the pain she was feeling, and it only amplified how terrible he felt. Y/n nodded through her tears. "Y/n, please, I understand if you want to get a divorce. Okay? I get it. I've done the absolute worst thing I could ever imagine doing. I never ever wanted to hurt you, and I understand if you can't get past this. It wasn't something I would ever do if I felt like I didn't have to. And, I just want you to know I'll love you forever." He promised her like it was the last thing he'd ever get to say to her.
Y/n could see his pain like it was reaching out of his chest. "Spencer, you've got to stop beating yourself up. You're nothing but an amazing husband. I understand that you had to do it, and as long as you didn't like it, we don't have a problem." She tried desperately to talk him down. It was terrible to watch the person you love despising themself.
"Not one part of me deserves someone as forgiving as you," Spencer concluded, and finally, the tears could stop.
Y/n smiled softly at him. "Just tell me you'll always be there for us." She requested.
Spencer furrowed her eyebrows, and she realized she'd done it again. How could she have screwed up twice in one day? "Us?" He asked, not wanting to read the situation wrong.
Y/n widely grinned at him. "Yeah, Spence, us." She told him, placing one of her hands on her own stomach.
Spencer took a deep breath, feeling like he'd forgotten how to. His whole world has stopped.
He reached out to place his hand on top of hers, smiling a little. His smile only grew as he met her eyes, mouth dropping open and eyebrows lifting. Complete and utter happy surprise.
"Oh wow." He let out softly in realization. "Oh my gosh." It was absolutely astounding news. One of the few times in his life that he'd been speechless.
Y/n nodded at him. "I know, Spence. I found out last week." She explained.
He frowned again. "Wait. I missed every single sign." He admitted in shock. "Nausea, how warm your hands felt, how tired you've been and how you were complaining your boobs were sore." He listed off, again feeling like the worst husband for not realizing.
Y/n already knew what he was thinking. "Stop. Even I didn't realize, so you couldn't have." She reassured him, trying to stop the negative thought spiral.
Spencer nodded. "I'm guessing 6 and a half weeks." He estimated. Definitely not based on the last time they had sex. Based on all the pregnancy books he'd read.
"So close!" She exclaimed. "7 weeks. The size of a coffee bean." She mentioned with a wink.
Spencer couldn't help but grin. "I am... I'm so happy. I don't think I've ever been happier."
Y/n let out a noise of disappointment, hitting him on the chest. "What about our wedding day?"
Spencer playfully gulped. "All the firsts." He assured her.
Y/n grinned at him. "Much better."
"I'm just so appreciative of you." He informed her. "Best wife in the world, and now you're giving me a baby."
Y/n smiled at him. "Was a join effort, Reid."
"That's generous of you to say, Reid." Spencer joked, forever glad he got to call her by his last name. "But, you've got to do the heavy lifting." He reminded her.
Y/n nodded knowingly. "You should prepare to get me every single thing I need." She informed him with a smirk.
Spencer couldn't nod quick enough. "Of course, my love." There really wasn't anything he'd rather be doing.
"Starting now, with a kiss." She begged, standing up so she could straddle on his lap.
Spencer quickly provided. Kissing her with so much love than he'd ever kissed anyone else. So much more passion and adoration. Nothing like any other girl in the world would have the pleasure of experiencing.
