"Hey Spencer" Desiree said after she pressed the answer button on her cell phone and pressed it to her ear.

"Hey Des, I'm outside" He said as he leant against his car door. Morgan, Garcia, Emily and JJ were hopping out of the car as he talked.

"Are you coming in then?" Desiree said with a small smile as she peered out the window to see him standing at the end of the path with the other four gathering round the back.

"In a minute, I've got a surprise for you. Could you bring Spencer and Anna out here?" Reid asked, returning Desiree's smile as he said it.

"Sure…" Reid could hear the confusion in her voice as she called her kids and they raced down the stairs. "Uncle Spencer's got a surprise for us" She said, adding excitement to her tone of voice as she hung up the phone and opened the front door.

Spencer mirrored his mom's confused look while Anna's face broke into innocent excitement as she ran to her uncle. "What's going on?" He called to his uncle with a confused half smile as his eyes caught on the other team members.

"Come and see" Reid said with a mischievous smile as he motioned them toward the back of his car. Desiree gave him a smile that wasn't dissimilar to Spencer's as she followed her brother and the two kids round the car.

"Oh my God!" She said with a big grin as she saw Anna and Spencer on their knees petting a Labrador puppy with creamy- white fur. "Where did you find him?" She said as she gently stroked the puppy.

"Morgan's friend breeds Labradors" He said with a half smile, motioning toward Morgan who was standing behind him with a grin on his face. Reid's main reason for getting the dog was for protection but he knew they'd like him which was always a good thing.

"What do you say guys?" Desiree said to Anna and Spencer, who was now holding the puppy in his arms.

"Thanks" They answered in unison, big grins on their faces as they strolled back to the house with Garcia, JJ, Emily and Morgan close behind them. Reid pulled open one of the doors, picked up a brown box, full of the puppy's stuff, and followed Desiree into the living room.

"He's up to date with all his vaccinations so you won't have to worry about that" He explained as he sat down on the sofa next to his sister, his gaze falling on his niece and nephew playing with the puppy on the floor. The other four profilers had disappeared into the kitchen. They'd spent a lot of time there over the past two weeks Desiree had lived in Quantico and they thought of it almost like a second home, as well as Desiree and her children as an extended part of their family.

"You didn't have to do all this for us" Desiree said with a soft smile gracing her lips.

"It's no trouble, Morgan already knew the guy so-" Reid began but Desiree cut him off.

"I mean all of this, Spence. You found us a home and schools for the kids. You did practically everything" She said as his cheeks took a tint of pink.

"I missed out on a lot of time I should have spent with you guys… I just wanna make it up to you" He explained slowly.

"You already have" She said quietly and watched him hide behind a few strands of hair that fell onto his face for a few seconds with a fond smile playing on her lips. Her smile changed to a simple warm one as she glanced over at her kids and the four missing people returned to the living room. "Have you guys thought of a name for him yet?"

Spencer frowned, softly bit his lip and looked thoughtfully at the puppy that had his paws on his sister's chest and was gently licking her cheeks which made the girl grin even more. "Maybe Max?" He said and gently stroked the puppy's head.

"I like Sonny" Anna said with a big grin as the puppy excitedly bounced around Spencer.

"Sonny's a girl's name" Spencer said and laughed a little at his sister who pouted at the rejection on her name suggestion.

"What d'you think of Romeo? He looks like a little heartbreaker to me" Garcia added the name into the growing list.

Soon the room's noise level had doubled and they were hurriedly calling out names which Reid was scribbling down as fast as he could. "What about Bear?" Morgan called which earned him a playful nudge from Garcia.

"You can't call him Bear! He's too tiny" She said as she scruffed up the fur on the puppy's head.

"If you want a guard dog you gotta give him a meaty name, ain't that right Em" Morgan said with a little laugh as he turned to her for support.

There was a pause as everyone glanced to Emily for her decision. "I gotta agree with Morgan on this one" She said slowly which gained her loud boos from everyone except Morgan who was loudly cheering. "Hey, all I'm saying is no burglar is gonna be afraid of a dog called Angel" She said, held her hands up defensively and shrugged.

"You getting all of these, pretty boy" Morgan asked as he turned round to him and flashed a smile. Reid gave a little sigh and smiled as he scribbled down the last name and held the piece of paper up. "Looks like we got our list ladies and gentleman!" Morgan called as Reid glanced over the list.

Reid took a deep breath as he glanced over the long list then began reading them out. "Max, Romeo, Oscar, Charlie, Bo, Rocky, Cooper, Kota, Brody, Blaze, Scooby, Zeus, Apollo, Comet, Alec and Bear" Reid read out then sucked in a breath once all the words were out.

"I wanna call him Sonny!" Anna called and crossed her arms, putting on another angry face.

"We aren't calling him Sonny" Spencer said and playfully nudged her. Her face remained angry so his expression softened. "What about Comet? You like that name too, right?" He said, his voice much softer the second time he spoke.

"I guess so" Anna replied quietly, still sulking slightly but her brief bad mood was quickly melting to show her sunny personality again.

"What d'you think guys?" Desiree asked and looked up at the rest of the group. "Comet?"

"Really cute" Garcia said with a big smile as the puppy raced around the room from one person to the other.

"Definitely a yes from me" JJ said with a smile. Morgan nodded and patted the dogs back as he tore past him toward Reid.

"Hey Comet" Reid said and gently stroked the puppy's head as it attempted to crawl onto his lap. "There you go" He whispered to the puppy as he gently brought the puppy onto the sofa, between him and Desiree, and gently petted his head. JJ suddenly pulled her ringing phone from her pocket, answered and walked out of the room to continue the conversation.

The remaining profilers exchanged looks. They knew that, from JJ's expression when she answered the phone, it was Hotch that was calling and he very rarely called if it wasn't about a case. Desiree knew something was happening from the looks the other adults were giving each other but she couldn't work out what so she turned her attention to the kids. "You gotta walk Comet every day, ok?" She said with a soft smile.

"Sure. We can do it after school" Spencer said as the puppy waddled off of the sofa and toward him.

"Sorry guys" JJ said as she popped her head round the door with a disappointed look. "We've got a case"

"Where?" Spencer asked excitedly, not understanding the team's disappointment.

"Uh, Texas" She read off her phone then looked up. "Hotch thinks it's a bad one… We gotta be on the plane within the next two hours" She said with a slight grimace.

"Can I come?" Spencer asked as the profilers stood and got ready to leave.

"You'd be bored of it all before we even got off the plane" Morgan said with a small laugh as he, Garcia, JJ and Emily walked to the door.

"I'll call you from the jet" Reid said softly as Desiree pulled him into tight hug and Anna tugged at his hand for a hug of her own. He kneeled down to Anna's level and gently hugged her before standing and walking to Spencer. "I'll be back soon" He said as he pushed his hands into his pockets.

"School doesn't start for another two weeks. I could come and just see what you do-" Spencer began but his mom cut him off.

"Come on Spencer, that's enough" Desiree said as she took Anna's hand and led her upstairs to put her to bed.

"It's not that I don't want to take you… I would love to but I'm just not aloud" Reid said softly as he attempted to look Spencer in the eye. "When I get back I'll take you to the BAU again and you can hang out with the team" Reid offered.

Spencer slowly looked up and gave him a small smile that hinted at his sadness from his uncle leaving. "Comet will be huge by time you get back" He said as the puppy nibbled at his fingers.

"I won't be gone that long" Reid said and they both shared a laugh.

"Hey, pretty boy! We gotta go!" Morgan called from the car.

"You better go" Spencer said quietly and motioned towards the door.

"Yeah… I'll see you soon" Reid said softly as he went to leave. He stopped for a moment, turned and with a small smile on his face said "JJ will miss you" and winked.

Woo! Part two! I wasn't expecting it to take as long as it did to write the follow up but I had really bad writer's block and for a while I wasn't sure if I'd ever get round to writing part two. So I decided just to take a small break from working on this story. I drafted up a couple of other ideas, I had a CM marathon then took some good advice from Garcia and looked at some pictures of baby pandas. And this is the end product! I hope you guys like it; I wanna do more stuff with Spencer and Reid and possibly a blossoming romance between Morgan and Desiree. Be sure to review if you have time, it means the world to me when you do! :)
