How They meet my Girlfriend - Chapter 2
Months have passed since Max met Morgan, Savannah and Hank. And she kept facetiming them to plan the art programs and to keep giving Savannah tips to teach Hank how to paint.
He was improving and Max couldn't be more proud of him.
"You are going to be a good mom, Max," said Savannah with a warm smile. She blushed and nodded softly.
"That's something I'm looking for as soon as Spencer and I get married. You know... Not very religious but I still can hear my mother's voice saying 'don't you dare getting pregnant without a ring Maxine' and I can't let my mother down"
That made Savannah laugh "yeah your mom sounds exactly like mine. Anyway... Thank you for everything and hope to see you and Spencer for New Year"
"Of course, I NEED to try Derek's mom's food once again" the two women laughed and said their goodbye.
Then she left for her sister's house. Spencer was in the FBI building teaching Profiling 101 and they would meet at her sister's for lunch and movie night.
At the FBI, things were going well for Spencer. He used one of his cases to teach them how to profile correctly and what they should do.
It wasn't easy but by the end of the day some managed to get to the right answer.
"So how was the class?" Asked JJ walking in.
He smiled at her and picked his bag up "great, but some agents needs more cases, they were slow at making connections"
"Well, not everyone has Spencer Reid's brain" she said sarcastically but with a sweet smile.
He just laughed and looked at her "yeah I know but three people in this room solved it before the 30 minutes mark. The rest needed from 45 to 50 minutes to do so" he threw data at her like Dr. Reid could do.
"Of course you counted that out" said JJ rolling her eyes playfully "by the way... I came here because Emily wants to talk to you"
"Will it be quick? I'm going to have lunch with Max and her sister's family before watching movies"
JJ was so happy to see him so happy and having fun with his girlfriend, deep inside she still regrets she didn't understand, or accept, her feelings before but she wouldn't change a thing, Will and her kids are everything to her and so is Spencer, in a different and platonic way.
"Yeah don't worry, it will be quick" she smiled and both of them walked to the BAU offices. She told him about how Michael was learning to read his first words and Spencer did a whole speech about how kids learned to identify letters without realizing that.
When they arrived JJ took him inside the conference room and in front of him was Aaron Hotchner, a little older but with the same stoic look and a little smile when he saw him.
"Hey kid" he said and Spencer just hugged him. Their embrace lasted for about five minutes and fifteen seconds, Spencer counted that.
After that the rest of the team joined in and they sat down around the table.
"H... how are you doing? What are you doing here?" Said the genius boy with tears in his eyes.
"Well after the team killed Peter Lewis, me and my son didn't need to be hidden so we got out of the program. I know you all thought it meant my return but I just loved so much to be a full-time father so I didn't want to lose more of my son's big moments" said Hotch smiling "of course I missed you all so much but Emily kept me updated" he laughed softly, something not to common from him.
"We missed you too, the team always feels different when we lose a member and at first we felt lost without you" confessed Spencer.
"Yeah me included" said Emily and the team laughed "but we found our rhythm and work in sync again"
"This team knows how to adapt so I'm not surprised. Even with the lost of our glue, Penelope" said Hotch "she was the constant I never thought would leave"
"She needed it, 15 years watching horrible things wasn't easy" said Luke and some of the team smirked happily for their recently new official relationship status.
"So guys, I didn't come just to see you again, which is always a pleasure, but also to invite you to the last day of Jack's soccer league. They will be facing against one of the best teams in Virginia and the current champions of the league" he said in a serious tone "and there will be headhunters and it's his opportunity to win a scholarship for soccer"
"Wow! That's huge, I got a scholarship and that's how I got out of my hometown" said JJ.
"Yes it's huge and I want this family to watch it. His grandfather died when the Alzheimer got worse and his aunt moved out of town and I can't find her so you are the only family left..."
The BAU loved Jack, especially the OG team, so of course they will be there for him.
Hotch handed each member enough tickets for their closed family.
JJ got 4 for her, her husband and sons; Emily has three for her, Andrew and his daughter; Luke for him and Penelope; Tara for her and her boyfriend; Dave for him and his wife and Matt for him, his wife and five kids.
When Hotch reached Spencer, he had a proud and fatherly smile "Reid... Spencer... I'm so happy for you. When JJ said she was in a relationship with Will, Gideon and I thought you wouldn't give love a second chance" he blushes and Hotch only smiled bigger "you thought I didn't know? I went to Gideon to buy those tickets to the football game" he laughed softly, very out of character but Aaron Hotchner was relaxed and happier, like the man his wife fell in love with "when we lost Maeve I was worry you would lose faith in love, and I was losing my hopes but Emily told me about that brave, young woman you were dating with"
"Why are all my friends like that?" He looked at his boss and his mind imagined Penelope's face "they love to told everything about me"
Hotch just smirked and handed him two tickets "I want to meet her Spencer '' then he finished giving more tickets to other members of the BAU floor and left the building.
Spencer was nervous about presenting his girlfriend to his former boss, mostly because Aaron was like a father to him and he didn't want to disappoint him, he was aware that Max was amazing and he would love her right away like Derek and the other team members.
He arrived at her father's house and walked in with his key, she gave him one and her father was okay with it. He looked for her and she was in the kitchen getting everything ready with her sisters.
He walked to her "hey girls, how is it going?" He asked softly and wrapped an arm around Max kissing her head.
"Hey babe, we are almost done with this and my dad is turning the barbecue grill on. What took you so long at work?"
"Well my former boss was at the BAU and he invited us to his son's soccer game" he showed her the tickets and he couldn't read her expression, like always, she was hard to read.
"Sounds like fun" she said after reading the invitation, she looked up at him and smiled "are you okay with it?"
"Well, I know he is like a father to you and I don't want you to feel pressured or nervous" on the other hand he seemed like an open book for her, she could read him so easily.
"Yes, I know but I want you to meet him and I want him to meet you" she nodded and when her sisters left the kitchen and headed to the backyard she kissed him softly.
"Good, I know how important is him for you," she smiled and held his hand to go to the backyard.
The rest of the day was relaxed. They ate, played poker and even shared a couple of cups of wine. They finished the day watching a movie with ice cream and apple pie. Then we left the house late that night.
The rest of the week was busy for both of them. They had so much work to do that they only spent the night together, with the promesa of not talking about work at dinner.
The day of the game arrived and Spencer was wearing the shirt of the team as well as Max, JJ gave him the shirts the day before so they were ready to support the team.
All of them have Jack's number, he was number ten.
"I never imagined myself wearing a soccer shirt," he said in front of the mirror.
"Then I can be pretty sure that you love that boy and his father, because they made you wear one" she said from the bathroom and Spencer could hear the smirk on her lips as she spoke.
"The things we do for love huh?" He said laughing and she was laughing as well.
When she was ready they left for the stadium. It was a high school stadium but it was big enough to host the home and visit fans.
They arrived just in time for the national anthem, there were all the team members and their couple, and kids, all wearing the shirt number ten and cheering for Jack.
He was taller than the last time they saw him and his face looked like a beautiful mix between Hailey and Aaron, his blond hair was short and darker than when he was a little boy.
His team had more possession of the ball but couldn't score yet, the time passed as the possession was even now. The other team was more aggressive and attacked more often but their goalkeeper was doing great.
On the other hand, Jack was struggling with a triple mark and couldn't do much for the team in attack.
The first half ended 0-0 but it wasn't boring. Aaron, JJ, Luke and Max left to get them food.
While they were in line to buy hotdogs, Aaron and Max talked.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Max" he said "Emily and JJ talked to me about you and I was so happy to know that our genius boy had a girlfriend"
"I hope they said good things about me" she said with a little smirk looking at JJ getting sodas and snacks with Luke.
"Yes, they did. In fact they told me you were a badass woman and worthy of our boy" that made her blush a little "I don't know if you know about his former girlfriend"
"I do, he told me about her and I know everything about your wife and about Jason and of course his other traumatic experiences with this job"
"Good, then you know that he needs a strong woman, right?" She nodded.
"And I am. I might be shorter and skinny but I will make sure to protect him" Aaron smiled and nodded.
After he left the BAU and spent more time with his son, he started to smile more and to relax more so now his smiles were more genuine and they truly looked happier.
"Good, that's all I wanted and I'm sure Jason as well so I will let Spencer in your hands. Don't let this job take the best of him or your relationship"
"I won't, I promise it" he nodded and smiled then they finally arrived at the counter and ordered their hotdogs, JJ and Luke got in time to help with the trails and they all headed back to their seats.
The rest of the game was more entertaining since the coaches changed some players that weren't doing well. Thirty minutes later Jack scored their first goal after a foul close to the other team's area.
All of them screamed excitedly because his team was fifteen minutes away from being champions.
Their team kept their defense strong and stopped the forward players from scoring. Then Jack assisted a second goal and the match ended 2-0 for his team.
After some minutes the two teams received medals, the losing team got silver and Jack’s team got gold and a cup that Jack lifted since he was the captain. He also won the MVP of the final and the golden boot because he scored the highest number of goals.
That night after taking a shower and changing their clothes, all the members of the group plus the other parents and Jack’s teammates went to Rossi’s house and had dinner there and a toast to celebrate the title and that some guys already got contacted by headhunters. One of them was Jack.
That night Aaron walked to Spencer, who was getting two glasses of water, while Max was dancing with the girls.
“She is the right one” was the only thing his former boss, Spencer smiled and turned but he was walking away already then Spencer looked up at the sky with Gideon on his mind, he took a deep breath and walked back to the girls.
This chapter took too long to make, I started it but wasn’t able to find a good plot or a good way to express this story. I hope you liked it, leave a comment or a like to let me know you enjoyed it. Let me know if you think there is someone else, you might want to meet Max.
