"What's your favorite word?" he asked, making you knit your eyebrows together, blinking at him as your mind tried to come up with an answer.
"I suppose it's vellichor."
"Vellichor: the strange wistfulness of used bookstores," he muttered making you...

- It had been a few days since your last case. You had spent them in bed, sick with some kind of stomach flu. Spencer tried to stay with you but you pushed him to go to work.
"Y/N, I want to take care of you," he said gently, holding your hand.
"If you take any more days off, they'll figure it out. And I want to be the one to tell them. I want us to tell them. Please Spencer."
Spencer sighed and kissed your forehead. "I'll call you in a few hours to check. Please pick up when I do. I love you."
"Thank you baby, love you," you muttered, sliding under the covers again and closing your eyes. Spencer shook his head at you and walked out of your bedroom, closing the door.
A few hours later, there was knock at the door. You stood up, wrapping one of Spencer's shirts around you and opening the door. "Spencer, I told you to go to work," you said before looking up and coming face to face with Garrett.
"Spencer? Cheating on me Y/N?" He joked, reaching to hug you. You pushed him away, taking a step back.
"Hi G. I may still be contagious to best stay away. What's up?"
He smiled and nodded, closing the door behind him. "So I got a call. They're giving me custody on a trial-basis," he explained. You grinned, launching yourself at him.
"Garrett! Finally. I'm so happy. Alice deserves her dad in her life." Garrett held you close, placing a kiss on the top of your head.
"Thank you. I know you had something to do with this. I don't even know what to do to make this up to you," he said, pulling away and cradling your cheek.
"Forgive me if I get you sick," you joked, making him laugh. "Anything for you G, you deserve to be happy and to take care of your daughter."
You heard the door shut and spun around to see Spencer staring at you. "Spence! You're home early."
"I wanted to check on you," he said softly. You smiled and turned to see Garrett grinning. You made your way to Spencer, wrapping your arms around him. He held you close, rubbing your back gently, his hand resting on your bare skin.
"Spence, this is Garrett. Garrett, this is-," you began.
"THE guy, oh I've heard so much about you," he said, making you blush and Spencer laugh.
"Good things?"
"Very good, she's smitten," Garrett teased, grabbing his coat. "I will leave you to rest and recuperate. You are clearly in good hands."
"Bye G, give Alice my love. I'll come by and visit soon!" You said as he left. He nodded and closed the door behind him. You looked up to see Spencer smiling down at you.
"Hi baby," he said softly. "Feeling better?"
"Much," you replied, pressing your face against his chest.
