This is a sequal to It Was Just A Fantasy. For some reason this would not leave my head until I wrote it down. I gave it an M rating for a future chapter. I hope you all like it. Oh and I still don't own Criminal Minds.
Chapter 1
Spencer nuzzled his nose into his lover's hair breathing deeply. The lovely familiar scent of orange blossoms tickled his nostrils. The smell always comforted him. It meant that she was near and he was truly happy.
Nicole began to stir in Spencer's arms. Moaning softly she turned to face him seeing he was awake and staring at her.
"Thank you for coming so quickly." Spencer said sleepily.
"You sounded so upset on the phone I had to come." She slid her hand lovingly over his stomach. "Are you ready to talk about it yet?" Nicole asked hesitantly.
Spencer sucked in a big breath. "I think so."
Nicole tightened her grip around him and waited for him to begin telling her about the case that had him so desperate to see her.
Spencer sighed closing the door to his apartment. He hated it when he had to come back to an empty apartment and worse and empty bed after he would drive Nicole back to the airport to fly back to New York.
They did get to see each other more than they had expected but lately it wasn't enough for Spencer. He wanted her there everyday and every night.
They were defiantly in love and established the exclusivity to each other in the their relationship but nothing had been discussed about one of them moving to be closer to each other.
Sighing even louder Spencer kicked off his shoes and went into his bedroom and turned on the TV and flopped down on his bed. He reached over and picked up the pillow Nicole had slept on and breathed in the sweet orange blossoms still lingering on the pillowcase wishing she were still there with him.
As the next few weeks went by Spencer thought less and less about the case that rattled him so much. Derek was back to picking on him again and the others were no longer walking on egg shells around him. Things were feeling normal again for the genius. He and Nicole still made their trips back and forth to see each other as much as their work schedules would allow.
Emily and Pete, Nicole's partner were still going strong and the four of them would get together sometimes while visiting.
JJ had her baby and was back from maternity leave much to everyone's relief. She was sorely missed while away.
Hotch was glad to see Spencer acting like his usual self. He had been very worried about his youngest team member but he also knew Spencer had Nicole to take care of him. It warmed Aaron's heart to see Spencer in love and happy.
Spencer was focused on the file in front of him when a paper air plane flew up and poked him in the side of the head.
"Hey?" Spencer protested looking over to see who had thrown it at him.
"It's quttin' time pretty boy." Derek laughed seeing the disgusted look on Reid's face.
Spencer looked down at his watch. "Oh no I have to get going or I will not get there in time!" Spencer yelped.
"Where's the fire dude?" Derek asked with his arms held out questioningly.
"Nowhere." Spencer said tossing his bag over his shoulder and quickly making his way to the door.
"Ah come on man. Where are you going in such a hurry." Morgan prodded.
"None of your business." Spencer replied over his shoulder hurrying to the elevator.
"Whatever you say pretty boy." Morgan mumbled.
It was finally Friday. Nicole was flying in tonight and Spencer couldn't wait. His stomach was dancing around wildly with excitement at what he had planned for the two of them.
"Don't forget that we have to pick Pete and Nicole up at seven tonight at the airport Reid." Emily said sitting down at her desk.
"Oh I won't." Spencer smiled slyly.
"What is going on with you Reid? You have been acting strange all week." Emily stated blatantly.
Spencer couldn't keep it to himself any longer. He just had to share his plan with someone.
"I'm asking Nicole to marry me this weekend." He grinned.
"Whaaat? Oh my god Reid!" Emily squealed.
"Shh! I don't want everyone knowing." Spencer said looking around to see if anyone had heard Emily.
"Do you have a ring?" She whispered trying to hold down her enthusiasm.
"In my pocket." He patted.
"Can I see it?"
"Sorry but Nicole gets to see it first." Spencer said gleefully.
"Fine. I get it."
Hotch and Rossi both came walking out of their offices heading toward the round room.
"Ah crap!" Emily sighed. "So much for our weekend. Are you going to call or am I?"
Spencer put his head down. He wanted so badly to have this weekend with Nicole.
Nicole rinsed out her mouth with a scoopful of water from the sink. She then scooped up more and splashed it over her face. She leaned over the sink with the water still dripping from her nose.
Sighing she reached up and pulled out some paper towels and dried the remaining water from her face.
This was the third day in a row that she had to hurry to the restroom to throw up. Her periods were always irregular and it wasn't uncommon for her to miss a month but now she had missed two.
She reluctantly stopped by the pharmacy to pick up a home pregnancy test this morning before work but had yet to take it. She knew deep down that it would be positive. How will she be able to tell Spencer. The discussion of marriage hadn't even occurred let alone if they wanted to have children.
Her phone began to vibrate in her pocket and she quickly pulled it out seeing it was Spencer.
"Hey baby." She quickly answered. "Baby?" She thought. "Oh god."
"Hi love. I have some bad news." Spencer said sadly.
Nicole strolled back to her desk seeing the disappointed look on Pete's face.
"I see you have already heard." She said sitting down across from Pete.
"Yep. Stupid criminal's. They have no respect for anyone's love life." Pete said letting out a sigh.
Nicole couldn't help but laugh. "So what is your back up plan for this weekend?"
"Oh I thought maybe order a pizza and watch movies. You?"
"I probably should clean my apartment and do laundry." She said flatly.
"Whoopee. Sound's like a blast." Pete snickered.
Spencer kept his hand over his pocket the entire plane ride feeling the tiny box that was concealed in it. He knew that he was more than ready to take this step with Nicole. He loved her more than anyone and he wanted to make babies with her. He was never sure that he wanted kids until he met her.
Spencer would have loved to have gotten her pregnant the first weekend they were together if he thought Nicole would have allowed it. He smiled. Of all of the things they knew about each other and shared he had no idea if she even liked kids.
Aaron called everyone's attention to continue discussing the case bringing Spencer out of his pity party.
Emily gave Spencer a tiny sympathetic smile. She knew just what and who he was thinking about.
Nicole sat on her couch twirling the stick in her fingers with the distinctive double blue lines across it confirming what she already knew.
"Oh lord what am I going to do now?" She moaned.
The thought kept playing over and over in her mind that Spencer would be upset and want nothing to do with her or the baby. She loved him so much and she didn't want to do anything to lose him. This could be the one thing that would drive him away.
After a lot of pacing and chewing on her fingernails she decided not to tell him anything until she confirmed it with a doctor first.
"Maybe just maybe this is wrong." She said tossing the stick into the trash. She pulled the bag out of the trashcan and carried out to the garbage shoot and dropped the bag into it.
Spencer was worried about Nicole. There was something funny in her voice every time he talked to her while away on the case. Something was bothering her but she wouldn't tell him what it was or even acknowledge his concern. The stupid case was taking longer than he had hoped and knew it could be Tuesday before the team would be back at Quantico.
"Hey how are you holding up?" Emily asked quietly taking the seat next to him in the conference room.
"I was hoping to be engaged by now." Spencer said flatly. "I am worried about Nicole. She's acting funny on the phone."
"Why do you think that?" Emily asked concerned.
"She doesn't have much to say. It's almost like she has something going on that she doesn't want to tell me about."
"I am sure everything is fine Reid. My guess is that she just misses you. I am sure that she will be very happy once she has that ring on her finger." Emily reassured him.
"You don't think she suspects that I am going to pop the question and she is scared do you?"
"Spencer I am more than certain that she will say yes. I know that she loves you very much." Emily placed her hand on his and gave him a smile.
Spencer was still worried.
Nicole stood in front of her refrigerator seeing that it was still empty except for a half empty ketchup bottle and a tub of butter and some beer which she wanted more than anything but couldn't have just in case.
She would know for sure in the morning. She closed the door to the refrigerator and went to sit down on the couch. This was going to be a long night and she knew she wouldn't get much sleep.
"Well you are most defiantly pregnant." Dr. Hammond said walking into the room.
Nicole sighed loudly and put her face in her hands.
"So I take it this is not good news?"
"Not sure yet."
"Well I will have the nurse call in a prescription for pre natal vitamins. I want to see you back in three weeks."
Nicole nodded and slid down off the exam table and made her way out of the room.
As she was walking out of the doctor's office her phone began to buzz in her purse. It was Spencer. She almost didn't answer but she knew that would make him anxious.
"Hey sweetie." She tried to sound like herself.
"We are on our way home. I really would like to see you. I am going to ask for a couple of days so I can fly to New York." Spencer said happily.
"That would be great. I miss you." She sighed.
"I miss you too. Nicole I know something is bothering you. Will you please tell me what it is?" Spencer pleaded.
"I do need to talk to you about something but not on the phone." Her heart was pounding.
"Ok. I love you Nicole." He said softly hoping she would return his words.
"I love you too. So much." The tears were beginning to well up in her eyes.
She was so afraid of losing him and this just might be the news to cause it.
