He lowered his head and kissed his wife tenderly on the mouth. She smiled up at him in the darkness of their bedroom. She gave a small shiver as he moved to lay down beside her, the warmth from having his body on top of hers gone. He reached for their comforter to cover them both up. She turned to face him.
"I like being covered by you better," she said.
"I don't want to crush you,"
She laughed and patted his flat stomach. "As if you could."
"Hey, I gained a little weight you know," he said.
She ran her hand appreciatively over his newly toned biceps. "Yes I know, in all the right places too. Who knew hauling yourself around on crutches for months could do this." She snuggled closer to him.
If it hadn't been so dark she would have seen him blush.
"Let's get some sleep, our son likes to get up early," he said, changing the subject.
"Hmm," she uttered in agreement. She laid her head against his chest. She was exhausted due to the lateness of the hour and their recent activities, but as tired as she was, she could feel the tension in his body. Unusal, considering what they had just been doing.
"Hon, is something wrong?" she asked.
"No, I'm just thinking," he answered.
"I thought I could hear gears grinding, about what?"
He hesitated for a moment before he spoke. "Do you want to have another child?"
She was now suddenly wide awake. This was the last thing she expected him to say.
"Do you?" she said. Her heart began to beat faster. The truth was ever since Matty hit his first birthday, she thought of little else. She never wanted to bring it up since their life together was so good right now, she felt guilty wanting more.
"I just want you to know I'm not opposed to the idea," he told her.
Emily lifted up her head to look at him "Spencer, what brought this on?"
He sighed,"lots of things I guess. Hotch, Jack and their situation. You and I are both only children ourselves. There will be no aunts, uncles, or cousins in our life or his,"
Reid hesitated a moment. "If we were to do this, we should probably do it soon because you're..." he didn't finish.
"It's ok Spencer, I know I'm over 40. Don't be afraid to say it."
"I just didn't...well I didn't want to end my sex life with one sentence."
She laughed. "I think you underestimate your allure," she reached down below the covers and gave him a light squeeze.
"Oww, hey be careful or the decision to have a second child may be moot."
Emily giggled. "Sorry, I say we talk about this tomorrow, ok?"
Spencer pulled her closer and kissed her. "You're right, this probably wasn't the best time to bring it up. Goodnight Emily."
"Goodnight luv,"
Within minutes Emily could tell by the sound of his breathing Spencer was fast asleep. She couldn't sleep now, she was too excited. She saw the baby moniter blink in the darkness. She got out of bed and tiptoed into their son's room. Little Matthew was stirring, half awake. She picked up his soother and placed it in his mouth. He fell back into a contented sleep.
"Goodnight Matty," she whispered. She watched him sleep for a little while then whispered one more thing before she returned to her room.
"Tomorrow let's tell Daddy you want a little brother or sister."
Fin.
AN: This Emily and Reid are from my "One in a Million" universe. It's complete shameless fluff, but I kind of missed these two. Please read and review.
