A few years ago, you had your first and only terrible blind date. You had agreed to it because your best friend had set it up and you needed to get away for a while. She promised him he was a nice guy, her boyfriend's best friend.
It wasn't what it seemed, he was rude and sloppy, and you two barely made it to the restaurant. You thought you had finally gotten rid of him that night, but you couldn't have been more wrong.
Your friend, Penelope, got married to her boyfriend, Derek, which brought Spencer Reid straight back into your life, and no matter the occasion, he was always there to stress you out.
Always very proper, arrogant, thinking he was smarter than everyone else - that was how you saw him. Unpretentiously handsome, he was annoying and seemed to enjoy knowing that he made you uncomfortable.
Shortly after the wedding, Penelope got pregnant, and within nine months, she gave birth to the light of her life, a beautiful, chubby little girl. You were named the child's godmother, and Spencer, of course, the godfather.
Everything was going well until the police knocked on your door a year and two months later. Derek and Penelope had died in a car accident, the little girl was with the nanny at home and escaped the tragedy. Now, you and Spencer were given custody of her as long as you raised her together.
Enduring the pain of grief, the two of you have tried to understand each other as much as you can while you need to, learning how to raise a child out of nowhere, all of a sudden.
One night, you come home from work, exhausted, go upstairs to Derek and Penelope's house, a gift from them so you can raise the little girl, and find Spencer shirtless, sitting in the nursery's rocking chair, with the baby on his chest, rocking her.
"I read a study that proved the effectiveness of the kangaroo method in terms of creating emotional bonds, improving sleep, encouraging growth and improving the baby's breathing pattern," Spencer says as soon as he sees you standing at the nursery door staring at him. Of course he would talk about science, even at times like this, but you have to admit it's cute.
