It had been 3 weeks since everybody had found out about Hope and in those 3 weeks she had had several regular visitors, each supplying her with small little teddy bears that they had brought. Hope was slowly reaching her ideal weight and Spencer couldn't have been prouder of her.

He entered the room where Hope was with Garcia in tow, her swinging as she followed Reid. Hope had definitely gotten bigger.

"Hello, Dr. Reid are you ready?" Reid nodded he had waited for this moment for ages. The nurse moved closer to Hope's incubator as Reid sat down on the chair that was on its left. She carefully picked Hope up as Garcia held up her camera up and quickly began snapping away as the nurse placed Hope on Spencer's chest.

Garcia moved forwards so that she could get Hope's face that from where she was standing was hidden by the blankets that Hope had been swaddled in. Reid smiled as he kissed Hope's forehead and whispered "You're doing so well. I'm so proud of you."

Garcia must have taken at least 100 photos of Reid and Hope's interaction; with a smile she stepped out of the room allowing Spencer to have some quality time with his little girl. Spencer had even noticed that she had left, he was too busy watching his daughter as she yawned and grabbed a small fistful of Spencer's shirt that he had on.

He ran a finger along her cheek he savoured the soft feeling of her skin, her soft Lanugo slightly tickled his fingertip, he smiled widely as she opened her eyes and looked at him before quickly shutting them again.

"So Hope who are you going to look more like? I think you're mommy or maybe you'll be the perfect mix of both of us maybe you'll have my curly brown hair with your mommy's blue eyes. No matter who you look like I tell you this now you'll always be the prettiest girl in my life." Spencer said softly "When you're older we'll have to have movie nights with all your aunties and uncles plus Jack and Henry. Now Henry is your Auntie JJ's little boy he's 4 and he's mine and your Auntie Penny's godson and Jack is your Uncle Hotch's son and he's 7. I'm definitely gonna go overboard on your birthdays."

He sat there in silence as he realised that Hope had fallen asleep on his chest, she looked so warm and safe snuggled against his chest. The nurse cleared her throat and with his heart slightly heavy he nodded and placed another small kiss on her forehead. The nurse gently took Hope from him and placed her back into her incubator.

The rest of the team were in Seattle on a case and Hope's nurse had rang to tell him that he could hold Hope. Jennie was a lovely person, if Reid had asked her to call every time she had woken up on her shift she would and this was no exception. He then turned around and frowned as he realised that Garcia had wandered off.

"She told me to tell you that she went to the cafeteria. She thought that you and Hope deserved some daddy/daughter time." Jennie said with a smile.

"Oh ok thank you Jennie."

"No problem Hun." Jennie called as he headed out of the room and into the corridor. It didn't take him long to find Garcia, he quickly walked over to her. He sat down opposite her and smiled.

"You could have stayed." He said as she looked up at him

"No, my adorable genius you and your baby genius needed some time. I got loads of photos of you holding her before I left. How was it?" Garcia replied with a smile

"Amazing, she fell asleep on me. The nurse had a bit of trouble getting her off because she'd grabbed a fistful of my shirt."

"That's so cute."

"I can't wait to get her home. I need to start getting her nursery together actually."

"You've not done it yet?" Garcia asked as she took a sip of her coffee.

"No, Lydia and I were going to wait until she was further along."

"I'll give you a hand and we'll force the others to help out." Garcia replied as she smiled mischievously and at Spencer's confused look quickly added "I have photos… Photos that are really cute but Hotch and Morgan won't want them getting out."

"Show me." Garcia turned her camera on and went to the photo in question. Spencer let out a laugh as he saw the photo Hotch and Morgan were asleep and appeared to be hugging in their sleep. Thinking about it Spencer remembered that night, they had gone out to the bar after a really hard case and Hotch and Morgan had had a lot to drink and at some point in the evening had fallen asleep….on each other. "I'm guessing they don't know."

Garcia smiled again and shook her head. Looking at her watch she gathered up her things. "We best get back if that's ok."

"Yeah that's fine." Reid replied with a smile.

On the plane coming back from Seattle 10pm

Hotch checked his e-mails as the team slept peacefully around him. He opened the most recently sent one that was from Garcia and smiled as he looked at the photo. He could just make out Hope's tiny head on Spencer's chest as Spencer grinned. He could see the sparkle that had been lacking from Spencer's eyes, that little girl was going to make Reid's life complete, heck she had already done that.

Reid was gonna be a good dad unlike his own and that was evident to all those that knew him. Hotch stared at the photo again, his own memories of holding Jack for the first time sprung to his mind. He sighed, Spencer was growing up and oddly it felt like how he'd feel when Jack showed a level of maturity that Hotch had never noticed before. He then realised why it felt like that; Jack was his son. Morgan was his son. JJ was his daughter. Prentiss was his daughter. Garcia was his daughter. Spencer was his son.
