All I own is Paige. The rest belongs to CBS.

"How was your shopping trip with Penelope?" He asked. "Or should I say, whatever it was you were doing when you lied to me and went with Spencer?"

Paige knew she was in for it.

"Um, Dad, I can explain." Paige started.

"You'd better be able to! And you better have a damn good reason for lying to me!" Rossi shouted.

"Daddy, I--" Paige stuttered.

"Well?" Rossi asked.

"Um, well, what happened was, Spencer and I were at the library, and he leaned in and kissed me. Then he said he was sorry and I told him not to be, then we decided to forget about it, but then we were in that closet and he told me he really didn't want to forget about it and promised that even after we were saved he still wouldn't want to forget that kiss, and in the hospital we decided to start dating, but I didn't want to tell you because I'm not yet 18 and I didn't want Spencer to lose his job over it, we were going to tell you once I turned 18, Daddy, I swear!" Paige blurted, tears streaming down her face. "Daddy, he means everything to me."

Rossi saw the love that glittered in Paige's eyes when she talked about Spencer, and decided to talk to her calmly and rationally.

"Paige, I'm a profiler. I could tell after we rescued you that the relationship between you and Spencer had changed. I was waiting for you to feel comfortable enough to tell me it had. I trust Reid, and I know he would never hurt you or make you do anything you didn't want to do. His job is secure." Rossi told her. "It's just the fact that you don't trust me enough that you think you have to lie to me is what makes me angry."

"I'm sorry, Dad." She whispered.

"I forgive you." He replied. "Now do you want to tell me where you were."

"Well, Spencer blindfolded me and drove me to a park, where he had set up the nicest picnic. Then we played tag and ate cheesecake." Paige told him. "Isn't that sweet?"

Rossi pondered this with a quizzical look on his face.

"Daddy, nothing happened. Our relationship isn't like it." Paige said.

"Okay." Rossi replied.

"So, are we good?" Paige asked him.

"Well, I'm not so mad anymore if that's what you mean. But you aren't getting off that easy, young lady. You are grounded until your eighteenth birthday and you aren't to talk to Spencer until then." Rossi told her.

"Okay, I guess that seems fair." Paige said.

"Alright, good. I'm calling Penelope. I don't see a reason for taking your phone and laptop, so I'm just going to have her monitor who you talk to." He said.

"Okay." Paige replied.

It was going to be a long two weeks.

A/N: Sorry, I know it's a bit short, but the next one will be Paige's birthday for sure, so it will be longer.
