Chapter 3

.

"Please, Spencer, stop… let's talk about this…"

Reid completely ignored the voices.

All he wanted was to get away from here and never come back… well maybe not never, but at least for a while.

He had never planned on telling Hotch about his pregnancy, let alone anyone else, when he had decided earlier to ask Hotch for a few days off, so that he could clear his head and decide what he would do now and what he would do with the child, if he would tell Derek about it and so on.

But now… now things had gotten a whole lot more complicated.

Spencer impatiently waited for the elevator to arrive so that he could get away before Hotch had time to react and follow him.

He gave a sigh of relief and stepped into the dimly lit elevator, but just as the doors were closing behind him, a hand stopped the doors from doing so and David Rossi stepped into the elevator with him.

"Reid, running away won't solve your problems," the older profiler stated and looked at the young genius with sympathy in his eyes.

Spencer glared at him, but right now he was stuck with Rossi.

"I know that running isn't going to solve any problems, but right now it's the only option I have," he sighed and then lowered his head so that he wouldn't have to look Rossi in the eyes.

He could hear David sigh and jumped a little when he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, which gave a reassuring squeeze.

"Spencer, please don't do that. Don't push all of us away. We can help you if you let us… and if you don't want to talk to me then talk to Morgan. He is your best friend."

Rossi's voice was compassionate and that caused Reid to look up.

.

To his surprise and astonishment there was no disgust or surprise at the news that Reid was pregnant, but only understanding.

But when Rossi mentioned Morgan, he couldn't help but stiffen a little and he knew there was no use hoping that Rossi hadn't noticed it, he was a profiler after all.

But David either really didn't notice Reid's flinch, or he thought that it was better not to mention it right now.

There was something else that bothered Reid, and he decided to ask about his calm reaction.

"You… you don't even seem surprised to learn that I'm pregnant… I mean, I'm a man and men are generally not supposed to be pregnant," he stated and blushed furiously at the same time, because it was still a little weird to associate himself with a pregnancy, even though he had had a few weeks to get used to the fact.

Rossi only gave him a small smile.

"You, of all people, should know, that male pregnancy isn't as impossible as some people might believe," he stated and made himself smile a little more to show Reid that he wasn't trying to be mean or something.

And Reid also had a small smile on his face, obviously feeling better, now that he knew Rossi didn't think he was a freak.

"But how do you know about it… I mean, it's not like it IS common knowledge," he questioned, his tears finally stopping for the moment.

.

Rossi only hesitated for a second, before he started talking again.

"A good friend of mine and his life-partner have had a child from a male pregnancy about five years ago. Little David is adorable and they are doing a great job as parents," he explained, a fond smile on his face and Reid felt one of his eyebrows rise.

"Little David?" Reid questioned curiously and even a little amused.

And Rossi, to Reid's even bigger amusement, blushed a little.

"Well, yeah, little David. I'm the boy's godfather. Jason and Thomas named him after me, because, and now I'm quoting Thomas, because I helped them with everything they needed, when nobody else would."

David shrugged, obviously not wanting to make a bigger deal about something he thought was a given for friends, but Reid was a profiler and he could easily hear the embarrassment and even a little pride in the older man's words.

Reid also felt better, because Rossi had trusted him with that information.

"Thank you for telling me about your friends… maybe… maybe I could meet them some time and talk to them. They could maybe give me some useful tips," he whispered, but then he lowered his head and nervously shuffled his feet.

And before Rossi could answer Reid's question about meeting Jason, Thomas and little David, the young man continued: "But there's one little, but important detail that's different for your friends than it's for me. The other daddy of the child won't be there to help me raise the little one."

And Spencer once again felt tears well up in his eyes when he thought about Morgan and that the other man would be a daddy soon, but not to their child.

Rossi looked at the young man and now he didn't resist the urge anymore and pulled the young man, who didn't resist in the slightest, into an embrace.

He made a mental note to call Thomas and Jason as soon as he got home to tell them to come visit him so that they could talk to Reid and then he waited until Reid had calmed down a little, before he posed his next question carefully.

.

"Reid… Spencer. Is Morgan the other father of your child?"

Even thought Spencer didn't answer, the way he tensed in Rossi's arms and buried even deeper into his arms, was answer enough for the older man.

"Oh Reid, I'm so sorry," he exclaimed, compassion more than evident in his voice.

Reid separated a little and looked at Rossi with wide eyes.

He hadn't exactly expected that Rossi would react like this.

Sure, Rossi had become a good friend, but he'd always been a little distant, his emotions guarded most of the time.

/Maybe he's like this, because he knows almost first-hand what I'm going through right now…/ Spencer mused in his thoughts, but no matter what the reasons were, he was just glad that he had found someone, who understood and obviously cared about him.

"Thanks," he murmured again, giving the older man a grateful smile, which Rossi returned with a soft smile of his own.

"You're more than welcome." Rossi replied, glad that he had convinced Hotch with one look that he would handle this situation.

The two finally stepped out of the elevator which had arrived in the parking garage.

.

"Come on, I'm going to drive you home," Rossi suggested, because he could easily see that Reid was in no shape to take the subway.

But Reid quickly shook his head.

"You don't have to."

"I know that I don't have to, but I want to. You shouldn't be alone right now," Rossi told him, effectively ending the conversation and steering Reid towards his car.

And Reid had to admit that he really didn't want to be alone right now, not after everything that had happened today.

So Reid silently slipped into the passenger seat of Rossi's car, his hands resting on his stomach again.

David started the car and drove towards Spencer's apartment.

For a while the drive was silent, before Rossi asked: "Reid, does Morgan know about the child?"

Reid sighed deeply and shook his head.

"No, he doesn't… I needed to come to terms with everything first… and then… well, then there was Gloria…"

Reid trailed off, still a little surprised that it was Rossi out of all people, he was talking to about this, but somehow it was easy, now that he knew, David had at least some experience with all this.

Rossi raised an eyebrow.

"How far along are you?"

"About two and a half months… and before you ask, I know about it since about a month," Reid answered honestly.

"So you and Morgan were together before he met Gloria?" Rossi questioned, even though he knew it was a rather personal question, but he also knew that Reid could simply not answer if he didn't want to and he wouldn't force the issue further.

But it seemed that Reid was almost relieved to finally have someone to talk to about all this.

And Reid was sure that Rossi wouldn't tell anyone else about it.

"Well, yes and no," Reid started his explanation, running a hand through his hair, the other hand rubbing his stomach.

Rossi only turned his head towards the young man for a second, waiting for the rest of the explanation.

"Well, when Morgan and I started this almost a year ago, it was only sex, to relieve the tension after hard cases, no strings..."

Reid gave a bitter chuckle.

"And?" Rossi finally asked to help Reid along, because he could see that it was hard for the young man to talk about it.

"Well… we talked about the terms after the first time we ended up in bed together… we said that there were no feelings involved… well… Derek was talking, I merely listened."

The last part was said in bitterness again.

And Rossi had a feeling that he knew the rest of the story.

"And you have fallen in love with Morgan some time along the way," he stated and the blush that made its way onto Reid's face was once again answer enough for Rossi.

"Does he know that you love him?" Rossi then asked.

Reid lowered his head and then shook it slowly.

"No, I wanted to tell him… but he always said how much he liked the fact that things between us were easy… and that the sex was even better, because we didn't have to worry about all the complicated emotions real couples went through."

Rossi flinched at the tone of Reid's voice and he couldn't help but curse Morgan for his actions, even though he knew that it wasn't entirely Derek's fault.

Reid should have spoken up for himself at some point during their "relationship", especially after he had realized that he had fallen in love with Morgan.

But before he could tell the younger man that, Reid said something that made Rossi forget whatever he had wanted to say.

"I mean, I guess I'm just not relationship material… and besides… I mean, as long as Derek is happy, and he obviously is with Gloria and their unborn child, I'm happy too."

Reid stopped for a second, before adding thoughtfully: "But isn't that what love is all about? Making the person you love happy, no matter if this happiness includes you or not."

He pointedly ignored the fact that he was everything but happy and that he was carrying Morgan's child.

Rossi couldn't help but smile sadly at the young man's words and he admitted: "If you can see it like that, then you're a better person than I am, because I wouldn't be able to see it like that… but maybe that's the reason why I have a few ex-wives and am currently single."

His little joke had the desired effect and Reid chuckled a little, before he sobered again.

"And I'll have to raise my baby alone because of this point of view," he said, once again rubbing his stomach, a habit he had developed over the last week, ever since he could feel his stomach rounding a little, even though it wasn't visible right now.

.

Rossi parked his car in the street in front of Reid's apartment and turned his head towards the young man again, renewing the mental note that he would call Jason and Thomas as soon as possible.

"You are not alone, Reid. You'll have the team, you'll have me," he said, but then refrained from telling him that he would also have Morgan if he just told him about the baby, even if it was just as a friend and not a lover.

Morgan would never shy away from the responsibility of helping Reid raise their child, no matter if he was together with Gloria.

Reid nodded slowly, really appreciating Rossi's words and then he slowly opened the car-door.

"Thanks for the ride home."

"It wasn't a problem. If you want I can pick you up for work tomorrow, then you won't have to take the subway," Rossi answered with a small smile and reached out to squeeze the young man's arm.

He frowned when Reid hesitated to get out of the car, obviously thinking hard about something.

He finally turned back to Rossi and finally asked hesitantly: ""Umm… do you… maybe… wanna come in for a little while? We could have a drink and I could show you that book we were talking about yesterday."

Rossi was more than a little surprised at that offer, but then he realized why Reid was asking him that despite the late hour.

Spencer just didn't want to be alone right now, not after everything that he had had to digest today.

So Rossi didn't comment on it, but simply nodded and followed him out of the car and into the apartment.

As soon as Reid pushed open the door and reached for the light switch beside the door, his hand stopped in mid air, when he realized that the light was already on and they weren't alone.

Morgan was sitting on his couch, a glass of water in his hands, looking at Reid expectantly, but his eyes narrowed when he realized that Reid wasn't alone.

"What… what are you doing here, Morgan?" Reid questioned, not all too surprised that Morgan was sitting in his apartment, because he had a key that Reid had given him years ago… but he was surprised that Derek was here today, after everything that had happened today.

"Shouldn't you be home with Gloria?" Reid asked, not able to hide the bitterness in his voice while he stepped fully into the apartment.

Rossi followed and closed the door behind them. The neighbors didn't need to see what might happen here soon.

Rossi also decided to just stay back for now and let Morgan and Reid handle this in their own way.

Morgan finally stood up and took a step towards Reid, but then stopped and put the glass down on the small couch table.

"I wanted to talk to you again. I mean, you just ran out on me earlier. And you obviously didn't feel good, so I was worried and decided to come over. Imagine my surprise when you weren't here," Derek informed and he had an almost accusing tone in his voice that made Rossi take an involuntary step closer to Reid when he realized how hurt Spencer looked.

"It's none of your business where I have been," Reid simply stated.

"And it's better if you go home to Gloria now, I'm sure she's already missing the daddy of her child."

Reid too couldn't help the accusation and hurt to show in his voice.

Morgan's eyes narrowed. He was obviously not used to Spencer being like this with him, but Rossi noted with a small hint of satisfaction that Reid at least stood up for himself, even though this probably wasn't the best way to go about this situation.

Derek turned his head towards Rossi and his eyes narrowed even more: "And what are YOU doing here, Rossi? I mean, it's nearly midnight."

Rossi was about to tell Morgan the truth, but then he decided that maybe a little push in the right direction would help the other two in the long run.

So he did something that surprised Morgan more than a little and Reid was so shocked that he didn't even move.

He stepped up to Spencer, put an arm around Spencer's waist and pulled him close to his own body and kissed him gently on the cheek.

Then he turned to look at Morgan again, trying to look smug, when he stated: "Well… what do you think I'm doing here at this hour?"
