"Babe, we need to go," Morgan said urgently, stepping into their bathroom.
Reid was concentrating on applying green face paint to complete his Frankenstein costume and didn't look up. "Garcia's not expecting us until seven, Derek," was his absent answer, "We have plenty of time."
"No," Morgan said firmly, "We need to go. To the hospital."
"What?" Reid straightened up so fast he knocked the face paint onto the floor, "You, is it the baby? Now?"
"Yes, now Spencer," Morgan said impatiently, holding one hand against his
stomach, the other clutching the door frame. He'd taken out his fangs, but he still had on the black cape that made up his vampire costume.
"Okay," Reid stammered, "I'll just, I'll just-"
"Babe, only one of us can freak out," Morgan said, wincing suddenly, and Reid saw his knuckles go white on the doorframe, "And I've got dibs."
"Right," Reid agreed automatically, "Okay, I'll grab the bag, you should go ahead and get in the car."
Morgan just nodded and headed for the door, pushing a whining Clooney away impatiently. Reid fought the urge to go help him, instead running to their bedroom to grab the bag they'd prepared weeks ago. He couldn't help but glance quickly through it, even though he had checked it several times already in the last few days.
And then they were on their way to the hospital, and the next couple of hours were a blur of activity. An angel checked them in, and then a robot wheeled Morgan into a room. Reid tried to stay calm, because he could see that Morgan was quietly freaking out. Nobody else would be able to tell that he was anxious, but Reid could see it.
"Well, this will make a great story," Reid said, holding Morgan's hand and smiling reassuringly at him, "Our baby, delivered by Eeyore and Piglet, how many people can say that?"
"Hmm, that couple dressed as matching socks can," Morgan answered, "Promise me you won't try to convince me to wear something like that with you."
"Don't be silly, you know I don't like matching socks."
Morgan's laugh was cut off by another contraction, and Reid called Doctor Eeyore back into the room.
Some time later, Reid walked out into the waiting room, where a group of ghouls and monsters waited for the good news. He received a crushing hug from an Undead Garcia and a pat on the back from Superhero Hotch when he proudly informed everyone that his daughter had been born. Twelve minutes before the end of Halloween.
