A/N: Here it is a sequel to 4 Years !
This takes place 1 year later.
Thanks to ahowell1993 for ideas to play around with that made me have the inspiration to write this.
Disclaimer: I only own OCs/ideas.
Spencer Reid leaned against the doorway of his daughter Mia's room watching her sleep. Her room was pitched in darkness except for the bunny night light beside her bed. Mia moved in her sleep, he stiffened thinking he accidentally woke her but the 5 year old only sighed in her sleep and clutched her stuffed bunny Benny closer.
He didn't do this every night he was home, but every now and then he had this sudden urge to check that she was in her room sleeping peacefully. Spencer knew his wife Karissa did the same when he was away on a case.
Things hadn't been easy since he returned with the loves and lights of his life. Both he and Karissa still had nightmares or would suddenly freeze when something brought back memories of their time with her father Trent but they became less frequent as time went on. Mia thankfully didn't have any bad memories of Trent, though she didn't spend much time with him in the first place. His team, had welcomed him and his family back with open arms and for that he was thankful. Garcia had easily became Karissa's best friend, which helped the team accept her even more.
One big thing he was grateful for his team for, was that they looked after his mother and her care while he was gone. They also kept his dad informed, his dad who surprisingly had finally stepped up and also was keeping an eye on her. His mom sometimes didn't remember he was gone according to them, but when she did remember, she always had a positive attitude.
They flew to see his parents a few days after their visit to the BAU.
Spencer felt his palms become sweaty when he walked towards his parents who were sitting on the couch waiting for him. It had been a long time since he saw his mom of course, but even longer since he seen his dad.
"Mom..dad.." He said, his voice cracking in nerves. Both of their heads snapped up at his voice, his throat tightening when he noticed both of them had tears in their eyes.
"Spencer.." Diana whispered, her hands flying to her mouth before she stood up and pulled him into a hug. Spencer sniffled and buried his face in her shoulder breathing in her scent.
When they finally let go, Spencer gave his dad what he hoped was a comforting smile before hugging him also.
"I'm so glad you're okay." William said, squeezing Spencer's shoulder.
"I am okay, better than ever actually."
"They uh...your team, told us what happened." William shifted awkwardly, unsure if he should bring it up.
"If you mean they told you about Karissa and Mia...then yes, it's true."
Diana grabbed his hand. "You brought them here, didn't you? I think i'd like to meet the two people who made my son happy."
Spencer smiled widely, he turned to look towards the desk at the front of the room where Karissa stood holding Mia's hand. He nodded signaling that they could come over.
His parents both looked like they would cry again when he made introductions, Mia who was usually shy when meeting new people didn't hide like usual, instead she grinned at them and crawled up onto the couch between them.
"I'm named after you!" Mia proudly told Diana.
Diana smiled softly. "Really?" She looked at Spencer who nodded. Diana's smile grew.
"One day i'll be just as smart as you and Daddy!"
Karissa suddenly grabbed each of his parents hands. "Thank you."
William stared at her confused. "For what?"
"If it wasn't for you two, Spencer wouldn't be here, and I don't know where my life would have ended up without him." Karissa said softly. Spencer wrapped his arm around her, pressing a kiss to her head.
"No thanks needed, Karissa." Diana said, patting her hand.
Mia bored of their conversation, eagerly pulled William into a conversation about the new book Garcia had given her. Spencer could tell his dad had no idea what she was talking about, but was nodding and adding comments in anyways. He hoped that his dad would be a better grandfather than he was a father to him.
"Mom..there's something I was wondering." Spencer asked. "When the team talked to you about me, they said you always had a positive attitude...they said you were never sad, I was curious-"
"A mother knows, Spencer." Diana said. "I told you before and it's still true. I would have known if you were truly in danger or...dead."
Since their visit, his parents had taken to calling at least once a week to talk to them and Mia who loved her grandparents even if she rarely saw them.
"She's precious, isn't she?" Karissa said, sliding up beside him and wrapping her arm around his waist. Spencer pulled her against him.
"She is."
They stood there for a few more seconds before closing Mia's door over and continuing on to their own room. Getting settled into bed, Spencer looked at Karissa confused when she suddenly placed a small long box on his chest.
"What's this?" He asked, picking it up.
Karissa bit her lip. "Open it and find out."
Spencer slowly pulled the cover off. Inside the box lay a positive pregnancy test.
"W-What?"
"I'm pregnant." Karissa giggled. "No need to act so shocked, it's not like we were trying to prevent it."
Spencer gave her a look but she only laughed more. "I just...wow."
"Is that a good 'wow'?"
"Yes!" Spencer tossed the box off the side of the bed, pulling Karissa against his chest and giving her a kiss that he tried to pour all his feelings into. Karissa giggled happily against his lips.
The next morning they sat Mia down on the couch.
"Mia, Daddy and I have a question for you." Karissa said softly, running her hand down Mia's hair.
"How would you feel about having a little brother or sister?" Spencer asked.
Mia's eyes widened. "We're getting a baby?!"
Both of them laughed at her wording but nodded.
"Can I choose if I get a sister or brother?"
Karissa chuckled. "No bunny, you can't choose. But you'd be happy no matter what, right?"
Mia nodded quickly, practically vibrating with excitement. "Yes! If I get a sister she can share my toys, and if I get a brother I can teach him how to ride a bike!" Mia suddenly squealed and took off for her room. "I have to make a list of things to do with them!"
Spencer stared after her. "Should we tell her it'll be months till the baby comes?"
Karissa shook her head fondly. "Nah, she's so excited let's not ruin that by telling her she has to wait."
The day after they had been to their first doctors appointment, Spencer had texted the team asking for them to meet him in the round table room.
They were all sitting around the table when he walked in but he paid them no mind as he snatched the remote off the table, pressing the right button that brought the image he wanted onto the screen.
Gasps filled the room when they saw it.
"Spence..an ultrasound picture?" JJ questioned, her voice clear that she knew what he was trying to say, but wanted confirmation before she said anything.
Spencer grinned at them and nodded. "Karissa's pregnant!"
Cheers filled the room as he quickly got pulled into hugs, received pats on the backs, and handshakes.
"Another baby Reid!" Garcia squealed. "I have to go call Karissa!"
Spencer shook his head chuckling as Garcia ran out of the room as fast as she could in her heels.
"I can't wait to tell Henry." JJ said. "He's gonna love having another little cousin around."
Morgan clapped a hand on his shoulder. "Before you know it we're gonna have an army of little Reid's running around."
Spencer made a face. "Army of little Reid's?"
Rossi snickered. "The thought not appealing?"
"Uh...not really. Do you know how many kids i'd need to have to make an army?!"
Morgan laughed loudly. "Calm down pretty boy, I didn't mean it literally!"
Months later, it felt like time flew by as Spencer sat in a chair by Karissa's hospital bed. A baby wrapped in a bundle of blankets in his arms.
"He's beautiful." Karissa said tiredly, refusing to fall asleep just yet until their visitors came in.
"He gets it from you."
Karissa scoffed. "I think I need to make you look in a mirror more often."
Spencer made to respond, but his time finally came filling into the room along with Mia who came flying towards them crawling onto the bed with the help of Morgan.
"Oh!" Mia exclaimed, finally catching sight of her little brother. "He's tiny!"
All the rooms occupants chuckled.
"He's a baby, bunny." Karissa laughed. "Babies are tiny, but they grow to be just as big as you."
Mia nodded her head. "But do all babies look like giant bugs?"
Loud laughter filled the room, surprisingly the newborn didn't cry from the loud noises.
"Why are you all laughing!" Mia turned to give everyone a weird look. "He's a cute bug!"
"Oh honey bunches, you are too cute." Garcia giggled.
"So." Hotch said. "What's his name?"
Spencer and Karissa shared a smile.
"Guys, i'd like you to meet Penn Trenton Reid."
Spencer didn't even have to be looking at Garcia to know she burst into tears.
"Oh my...you guys named him after me?!"
Karissa grinned tiredly. "Of course, you're my best friend and one of Spencer's."
"And we decided on Trenton after her dad, because without him we might not have met at all in the end."
The others nodded, knowing how important it was for them to acknowledge that although Trent went about it wrong, he still was the reason they met in the first place.
"But, we have more things to share." Spencer said. "Since we weren't around when Mia was born.."
"-We were wondering if you Penelope and Derek would like to be Mia's godparents." Karissa finished saying.
Garcia looked shocked. "But you already named your son after me!"
Karissa shrugged. "That way they're both connected to you in some way, I think it's perfect."
Garcia quickly hugged them happily, making sure to not crush Penn who had fallen asleep and Mia who seemed to be in a trance staring at her sleeping brother.
"Well i'll be honored to look after the munchkin." Morgan said, his eyes seeming to be a little teary but no one mentioned it.
"And for Penn's godparents..we wanted it to be you and Will, JJ." Spencer said to JJ, who smiled widely.
"I'd love that, and I know Will will be happy too." JJ hugged them carefully too.
Both of the new parents of two grinned and looked down at their children. Mia had reached out to touch Penn in his sleep, and in his sleep had grabbed Mia's finger and was gripping it in his tiny hand.
A/N: I'll be leaving this incomplete in case I decide to add more at some point, but it'll just be drabbles if I do.
Hope you liked it :)
