A/N: This is the sequel to Love Takes Away the Pain: Book Three. So if you haven't read Love Takes Away the Pain: Book One, Love Takes Away the Pain: Book Two, and Love Takes Away the Pain: Book Three first please go read those three stories first in that order before you start to read this story.
This starts seven weeks after the ending of chapter 56 of Love Takes Away the Pain: Book Three so it's Saturday August 8th of 2015 in the beginning of this chapter.

Spencer was brushing his teeth when Olivia rushed into the bathroom and vomited into the toilet, causing Spencer to stop what he was doing and hold his wife's hair. During the next few minutes he was running through the symptoms his wife was dealing with before looking at Olivia who was brushing her teeth.
"I take it you haven't realized that you're possibly pregnant since you've been tired and nauseous lately." teased Spencer.
Olivia looked at her husband with wide eyes before she started grinning.
"I was thinking the same thing since I've noticed that my clothes have been a bit tighter, but this is the first time I'm dealing with morning sickness." said Olivia as she rested her hands on her belly and noticed the slight bump causing her to grab a pregnancy test that she had stored in the bathroom, "Let me quickly do this so we can find out." said Olivia as she shooed her husband out of the bathroom.
Over five minutes later Spencer and Olivia were grinning when they saw the pregnancy test saying PREGNANT.
"This is great." grinned Spencer.
"I'm happy." said Olivia as tears streamed down her face.
"When was your last period?" asked Spencer.
Olivia quickly calculated the days before giving the date.
"We conceived Baby Reid the night that we had the house to ourselves." said Spencer as he knelt down and rested his hands on Olivia's belly, "Daddy loves you so much. Just continue to grow big and strong, and in about seven months you will get to meet your family." said Spencer before he got up and wiped the tears that were already streaming down Olivia's face.
"I should call Dr. Carter and get me in for Monday to confirm the pregnancy." said Olivia as she grabbed her cellphone, and a few minutes later Olivia grinned at her husband, "Dr. Carter's on call today, and she's willing to see me in two hours."
"Can I come?" asked Spencer.
"Yes." said Olivia.
Two and a half hours later Dr. Carter entered the room with the test results.
"You're definitely pregnant, Olivia." smiled Dr. Carter.
Spencer and Olivia grinned before kissing each other on the lips.
"Should there be any complications due to the ectopic pregnancy I dealt with last year?" asked Olivia.
"Not at all since you're young and healthy, but right now I want to do a transvaginal ultrasound to see how Baby Reid is developing." said Dr. Carter.
10 minutes later Spencer and Olivia allowed happy tears to fall when they heard the baby's heartbeat, and when the ultrasound was finished she smiled at the young couple.
"Based on the measurements and the information you gave me, you're going to be due on March 26th of next year." said Dr. Carter.
Spencer looked at his wife.
"I was right about the date we conceived Baby Reid." said Spencer.
Dr. Carter looked at the young couple.
"Any new pictures or videos of Piper, Albert, and Ava you two would love to show me?" asked Dr. Carter.
Spencer pulled out his phone and showed Dr. Carter some new pictures.
"Piper started gymnastics in January, and she's already excelling since she's in the advanced age group for three and four year olds." said Spencer as he showed Dr. Carter a video he made of Piper.
Dr. Carter watched the two minute long video and smiled when Piper giving her coach a high five at the end.
"It seems like you two have a gymnastics prodigy in your hands." said Dr. Carter before she saw a picture of all three kids together, "I just can't believe that Piper is finally three years old while Albert and Ava are finally two." said Dr. Carter as she noticed how big the kids were getting.
"I know." said Spencer.
Dr. Carter looked at Olivia.
"You two should get on with your Saturday plans with the kids, and I want to see you in four weeks." said Dr. Carter.
"Yes ma'am." said Olivia.
"Congratulations again you two." said Dr. Carter as a scheduler came into the room to schedule Olivia's next appointment.
A few hours later Spencer and Olivia entered the house to see William sitting in the living room watching TV.
"Where are the kids?" asked Spencer.
"I just put them down for a nap 10 minutes ago." said William as he noticed the happiness that was radiating from his son and daughter in law, "I take it that the errand that you two went on was successful?"
"You're getting another grandchild." said a grinning Olivia.
"That's great." said William as he got off the couch and hugged his son and daughter in law.
"I just wonder if we should tell the kids yet or wait a few weeks?" asked Olivia.
"Better they know sooner due to the morning sickness you're already dealing with." said Spencer.
"Then let's tell the kids when they wake up." said Olivia.
"And I will tell my teammates on Monday, but I think I will call Alex right now." said Spencer as he pulled out his phone and called Alex.
"Hey Spencer." said Alex.
"Hi Alex." said Spencer.
"So what are you calling me for?" asked Alex.
"I'm going to be a dad again since Olivia's eight weeks pregnant." said Spencer.
"That's great." said Alex.
"I know." said Spencer.
"When did you find out?" asked Alex.
"This morning since Olivia was dealing with morning sickness, and after she took a pregnancy test she called Dr. Carter who was actually on call today so we got to see the baby and hear the heartbeat." said Spencer.
"So you're telling everyone else on Monday?" asked Alex.
"I have to since I'm working with profilers." said Spencer and he and Alex updated each other on their lives before hanging up.
Later that evening, Spencer and Olivia sat Piper, Albert, and Ava on the couch.
"Mommy and I need to talk to you three munchkins." said Spencer.
"Are we in trouble?" asked Piper.
"No, but you know how Auntie JJ is carrying a baby right now?" asked Spencer.
Piper, Albert, and Ava all nodded before Piper looked at her mommy's belly.
"You got a baby in your tummy?" asked Piper.
"I'm carrying your little brother and sister, and he or she will be here by the end of March since I will be carrying him or her for about seven more months." said Olivia.
"That's a long time." said Piper.
"It is, but so there will be times that I will be tired, cranky, or forget to do something but you guys will be excited about getting to hold your little brother or sister." said Olivia.
"So are you guys happy about having another sibling to play with?" asked Spencer.
"Yes." said Piper.
"Yes." said Albert.
"Yes." said Ava.
At that moment Piper got up, walked over to her mommy and rested her hand on her belly.
"Hi my name is Piper, and I'm your big sister. I can't wait to meet you." said Piper.
Spencer and Olivia looked at each other with happy tears streaming down their faces, causing Albert to look at his parents.
"Why you two cwying?" asked Albert.
"These are happy tears buddy." said Spencer.
Olivia looked at her son.
"So are you hoping for a little brother or another sister?" asked Olivia.
"Broter." said Albert.
"We will have to wait over a month to find out." said Spencer as Piper, Albert, and Ava started talking about what they want to do with their new sibling once the baby is born.
Two days later Spencer was sitting at the conference room table with JJ, Hotch, Morgan, Garcia, and Rossi when Spencer looked at Garcia.
"Before you start briefing, may I tell you guys some news?" asked Spencer as he kept his face neutral.
"Go ahead." said Hotch as he thought about Olivia's behavior the past few weeks.
"At the end of February or in March I will need to take paternity leave again since Olivia's eight weeks pregnant." said Spencer with a wide smile on his face.
Hotch, JJ, Garcia, Morgan, and Rossi all got up and either hugged him, patted him on the back, or in Rossi's case, kissed him on both cheeks.
"I will make sure you take some time off Reid." said Hotch as he hugged his youngest agent, "And how did Piper, Albert, and Ava take the news?"
"They are very excited, and Albert wants a little brother while Piper and Ava want another sister." laughed Spencer
"Have you told Emily yet?" asked Garcia.
"We told her last night when I Skyped with her, and my aunt, uncle, and cousin already know." grinned Spencer.
"What about your mom?" asked JJ as she rested her hands on her nearly eight month pregnant belly.
"She was having an episode so I couldn't tell her the news, but I'm planning on calling her tonight since her doctor said that I should try." said Spencer.
"When did you find out?" asked Garcia.
"I actually voiced my opinion to Olivia on Saturday morning since she showed morning sickness for the first time, and a few hours later we were able to see her doctor, who confirmed the pregnancy for us." said Spencer as he pulled out the ultrasound photo that he brought in and showed it to his teammates.
Hotch looked at Garcia.
"Please start briefing." said Hotch.
Garcia looked at Spencer.
"It seems like you get to go tell your mom the news in person since you guys are heading to Las Vegas, Nevada." said Garcia as she started explaining the case.
15 minutes later Spencer was calling Olivia.
"You have a case?" asked Olivia.
"Las Vegas, Nevada." said Spencer.
"It's a bummer that dad, the kids, and I can't come with." said Olivia.
"I know, but we're already planning on going to Vegas for Thanksgiving." said Spencer.
"Do you have time to talk to the kids?" asked Olivia.
"Heading to the jet in five minutes, but I promise to call tonight." said Spencer.
"You know the rules about staying safe." said Olivia.
"I know, and I have to get going." said Spencer.
"I love you." said Olivia.
"I love you too." said Spencer before hanging up.
Over five hours later Spencer and Hotch entered the station where Detective Benjamin Peterson approached them.
"I wish I could see you again under better circumstances, Spencer." said Detective Peterson as he gave Spencer a manly hug.
"Me too." said Spencer before looking at Benjamin, "You should remember my boss, Aaron Hotchner."
"I sure do." said Benjamin.
Benjamin started giving Spencer and Hotch updates on what he found out during the past four hours, and a few minutes later Spencer was at the coffee pot with Benjamin.
"How are your wife and kids?" asked Benjamin.
"They're doing great, and Olivia's eight weeks pregnant with our fourth child." said Spencer as he showed his former classmate a picture that was taken at Piper's birthday party.
"Congratulations Spencer." said Benjamin as he gave Spencer another manly hug before both former classmates decided to focus on the case.
Two days later Spencer entered Bennington Sanitarium, and he approached Dr. Jesson who was talking to a nurse. Dr. Jesson looked at Spencer.
"I appreciate you calling ahead, and your mom's having a good day." said Dr. Jesson.
"I can only visit for two hours since I'm flying back to DC in two and a half hours." said Spencer.
"Right now your mom's in her room." said Dr. Jesson.
A few minutes later Spencer was standing in the doorway of his mother's room and watched his mom reading a book before he knocked on the open doorway. Diana looked up a few seconds later.
"You never mentioned about coming to visit, Spencer." said Diana as she got up to hug her son.
"I'm in town for work, and I can only visit for two hours." said Spencer as he embraced his mother tightly.
A minute later Spencer was sitting on his mother's bed with her, and Diana looked at her son.
"You definitely look happy right now." said Diana.
"I'm happy because of this." said Spencer as he pulled an ultrasound photo out of his messenger bag.
"I'm a grandma again?" asked Diana.
"Olivia's eight weeks pregnant." said Spencer.
"Wonderful." said Diana as she hugged her son much tighter than before, "How's Olivia doing?"
"Even though we just found out on Saturday, she's already cursing me for getting her pregnant again. And Dr. Carter believes that there should be no complications at all since it's been over a year since the ectopic pregnancy." said Spencer as his cellphone vibrated and he saw a text from Olivia, "Piper wants to Skype right now."
"I need to see my grandchildren." said Diana as she thought about the few times she forgot that she was a grandma.
Two minutes later Spencer was holding his tablet in front of his mom and himself, and Diana was smiling when Piper, Albert, and Ava excitedly greeted their grandma before Diana read for a few minutes.
Later that night Spencer was sitting in bed with Olivia, and Olivia looked at her husband.
"How did your mom handle your visit?" asked Olivia.
"She's excited about becoming a grandma again, and there was a few times that she seemed a bit confused for a second or two, but otherwise the visit went well." said Spencer.
"What did her doctor say about the moments of confusion?" asked Olivia as she rubbed her husband's arm.
"Right now they are going to be monitoring her a bit more, and if she's not improving we might need to plan on going to Vegas a bit sooner before Thanksgiving." said Spencer as he didn't even realize that what he said was going to happen.
Olivia yawned, and Spencer looked at his wife.
"We both need some sleep since you're pregnant, and I had to pull an all-nighter last night." said Spencer as he slipped his glasses off and set them on the nightstand.
10 minutes later Spencer and Olivia were fast asleep in their favorite position.
