Paranoia - s.reid

End

Hello everyone!

It's been roughly 4-5 months since my last update on this book, since then I have been very busy writing my Matthew Gray Gubler book (It's on my page, entitled 'Princess' if you want to read it), I'm doing a major rewrite of my 3 year old, 75 chapter Harry Potter book, and I've become a regular writer on Tumblr.

In truth, I've had a new chapter drafted for 3 months. It always remained unfinished, unsatisfying or irrelevant. The beginning of this book isn't the best, my ideas weren't projected correctly and accurately, Spencer and Liz's relationship was a little bit ridiculous. As one would expect, the book would get better as it goes along, the author would become more skillful with their words and it would be a joy to read. Due to my exhaustion and constant writer's block, I don't think I'm able to provide any more quality chapters to this story, and I haven't been able to do so for a while now.

What I'm saying is, the book has to end here.

I really thought I'd be able to write all 15 seasons, but I just can't get past 14.

I've always hated when authors end books mid way, so I've decided to share the plans I would've written if I had the chance.

At the end of season 15, Spencer and Liz make the decision to finally retire from the BAU as Liz is pregnant again for the fourth time, a complete accident. They have their daughter Erin, while Liz goes back to work as a lawyer Spencer decides to become a stay at home father. The poor guy needs a break from all things work and law enforcement.

Diana graduates from high school at the age of 14, two years after her parents' retirement from the BAU. After much convincing, they let her attend university, but only if it were within Virginia, so she attends Georgetown. A year onwards, her and Henry, JJ's son, begin a relationship (literal teenage relationship stuff).

When she finally turns 18 and has permission to leave the state, she attends Harvard Medical School and breaks up with Henry due to long distance. During this, 16 year old Lyle gets himself expelled from school due to multiple accounts of truancy, among other things. He and his parents compromise, if he homeschools diligently, he will have more time to focus on art as his true passion. Spencer and Liz have no issue letting their son do whatever he wants, but getting expelled is not something they had on their minds.

Margaret, now 15, has graduated from high school and is traveling to New York to study music at Juilliard, with the compromise that 18 year old Lyle goes with her to make sure she's safe and to take care of her.

Alex graduated a year after his sister, taking a gap year but finally attending university at UPenn on a sports scholarship. Diana finishes med school and moves back to Virginia to do her surgical residency. Lyle still chooses to reside with Margaret, even with the option not to since she's 17, and he sells his art and dreams of opening a gallery.

5 years later, all the children have moved back to Virginia. At the age of 27, Diana is officially a neurosurgeon. Lyle and his long-time girlfriend Kate are expecting a baby, they have a son named Jason, the first grandchild. Lyle has also maintained an art gallery in both New York and Virginia. Alex has put his sport skill to good use, pursuing a career in football (soccer) while Margaret plays in the opera, and has started dating Jack, Hotch's son. Her parents aren't too keen considering the 9 year age difference (22 and 31). Erin, now 15, is considered a computing genius. She decides it would be fun to hack into a company's database, but is eventually found out and arrested. Thankfully, they decided not to press charges, but that doesn't stop Liz and Spencer from being the most disappointed they've ever been in her.

Diana and Henry decide to give their relationship another go nearly 15 years later. Lyle and Kate have another baby, a boy named Noah, and they get engaged the same year. After 3 years of being together, Margaret and Jack are thinking about marriage and the future. Erin waits 3 years after graduating to finally turn 18 so she could attend Oxford university to study computer science, while starting a secret relationship with Michael, Henry's brother. The next year, Margaret and Jack get engaged, and marry later in the year.

Alex, now a high profile footballer, gets engaged to his also well known actress girlfriend Lily, they got married the same year. Margaret gets pregnant, and has a little girl named Olivia. Henry and Diana also get engaged.

They get married the next year, Erin and Michael break up before the wedding, citing it's weird for Diana's sister to be dating her brother in law. The same day of the wedding, she finds out she's pregnant, and eventually gives birth to a girl called Kennedy and raises her as a single mother. She follows in her parents' footsteps, joining the BAU as a technical analyst.

Lyle and Kate finally get married after being engaged for roughly 5 years. It's the year for babies as Alex and Lily have a girl named Avery, while Margaret and Jack have a boy named Dylan.

Liz dies in 2062, while Spencer died in 2073. 

Diana and Henry had no kids, she was a neurosurgeon. 

Lyle and Kate have 3 sons, Noah, Jason and Daniel. Lyle was a painter.

Alex and Lily had Avery, he was one of the greatest footballers of his time.

Margaret and Jack had Dylan and Olivia, she was a breathtaking musician.

Erin had a girl named Kennedy, remaining at the BAU as a tech analyst for many years.

I'm sure in the future I'll return to this book, rewrite it properly and finish it. It'll be better than it ever was. But for now, this is goodbye.

Thank you for taking interest in Liz's and Spencer's journey, through the wonderful highs and turbulent lows.
