I do not own Criminal Minds. And I would like to express my thank you to Dragonsmaiden for being my beta reader. I kinda goofed on the title chapter. It was suppose to be called "JJ Baby's Shower." If anyone knows of how to change it, please let me know.

Chapter #1

Reid stood in the doorway of the conference room. Instead of having a meeting about an upcoming case with his BAU team; the conference room was decorated with pink and blue balloons and streamers, not to mention a big banner words "Baby Shower" in printed in pastel colors all hanging from the ceiling.

He didn't understand of why Garcia wanted to have a baby shower for JJ here. Or how she had ever convinced Hotch to let her. He then saw both Morgan and Rossi standing against the wall on the other side of the room.

"Excuse me, Reid," he heard Prentiss from behind.

"Oh sorry," he said, letting her pass. He watched her carrying a platter of sandwiches into the room.

"Spence, come in," JJ said, sitting in one of the chairs which had more balloons tied behind. He gave a half smile as he walked in.

"Wow," he said. "You know that the term 'Baby Shower' is relatively new, but the celebrations and rituals associated with pregnancy and childbirth are both ancient and enduring. Like other rites of passage associated with significant transitional events such as coming of age, marriage, and death, baby showers function as a type of initiation into, and a construction of, a new state of being, in this case, 'motherhood,'" he explained as he opened a red tin of cookies and set them down besides the sandwiches.

"Spence, I didn't know that you bake," JJ interrupted as she reached for one of the cookies.

"I don't."

"These are really good." He smiled again, setting a white gift bag with yellow ribbon threaded through on the table with the other presents.

He saw the coffee was already made on the far table where the two gentlemen were. He poured himself a cup and then poured in way too much sugar.

"So what are we suppose to do," he whispered to Morgan who was standing next to him as he stirred his coffee.

"You never been to a baby shower," he asked. Reid shook his head no.

"Consider yourself lucky," Rossi said.

He turned his attention to Rossi, "Why?"

"For a genius, you don't understand women do you?" He shook his head no.

"This is a party for mostly women where they talked and eat. And then they play games."

"And kid, that is when we leave," Morgan whispered.

"We do?" Reid asked.

"We do," Rossi confirmed.

"Sorry, I am late," Hotch said as he walked in.

"No worry, we were just eating and talking," Garcia said. Then she turned her attention to the three men standing in the background.

"Are you three going to be joining us?"

"Let's go," Rossi said.

After the food was served, the presents were being open. Reid realized that Rossi was right about the baby showers were mainly for women.

He didn't quite understand of why the three women were always awing over a set of onesies that Prentiss had given JJ, which had weird sayings like, "Too sexy for a diaper", and "Party tonight at my crib at 3 am."

Garcia had given her a big red purse, which apparently is one of those designer's diaper bags. He stared at the purse, thinking it still look like a big purse that women like to carry.

Even JJ awed over the little football that Morgan had given her. "So the kid can be a fan of the Redskins like its mama," Morgan said, giving his one of his famous smiles.

"Thank you, Morgan. Now this is from you, Spence?" JJ asked as she reached for the white bag with the yellow ribbon. He nodded yes.

"I love the bag." She pulled out a couple of children books of Babar the Elephant.

She smiled, "Thank you, the baby will love them. Now what is this," she said as she pulled out a brown crocheted teddy bear wearing a red knitted hat shaped like an apple. JJ went quiet; in fact, everyone was quiet.

Reid look around the room, "You don't like it?"

"No, no, no. It's just beautiful. Where did you get this?"

"Ashley made it." Everyone then turned their attention to Reid.

"Well, well, well. Pretty Boy met a girl. Spill. Who is she?"

Reid shrugged his shoulders. "She is a friend whom I meet in the NA meetings."

"So she is a cop?" Morgan asked.

He smiled, "Far from it," Reid answered. "She makes teddy bears and sells them on the side. She teaches arts and craft to children. Why are you all staring at me?"

"We are just surprise that you meet someone and never mentioned it until now." JJ answered, still holding on to the bear.

He shrugged his shoulders again, "You never asked."
