Derek is pacing when Hotch calls him into his office. "I heard that you apologized to Reid," he mentions. Derek sits and looks miserable. "He didn't accept. He said he's not coming back to work."
Hotch frowns. He'd assumed as much. "Do you know if anyone else has come to the same conclusion?" Morgan nods. "I think we all feel bad. Garcia called me to her house last night because she was drinking and sobbing." Hotch stands. "We need to let everyone know that this is the last chance before we lose him for good."
Spencer wakes up in his own bed and stretches. Rossi is sitting up and stretching. "I'd like you to come to the BAU with me today." Spencer turns and looks at his lover's nude back. "Is that really healthy? Aren't I supposed to stay away from stress?" He asks. Rossi stands up and pops his back.
"It shouldn't be that stressful. It would mean a lot to me, tesoro." Spencer sighs and gets up, smiling at Rossi. "I could consider it... but it will cost you." Rossi grins and wraps his arms around Reid. "Oh? And what can I do for you?"
Reid kisses Rossi and pulls him into the bathroom. He turns the shower on and pulls Rossi in. Rossi pushes his lover against the shower wall and plunges in his mouth. Reid wraps his arms around Rossi and helps him adjust so that he can press inside. Rossi slowly fills Reid and Reid groans happily.
Rossi and Reid maintain eye contact until Rossi speeds up and Reid's head falls back. Rossi's knees begin to feel weak when he comes to finishing. Reid had already finished on their bodies and was now tensing to make it better for Rossi. Rossi finishes inside him and Reid whimpers.
"Don't pull out yet," Reid whispers. Rossi leans against his body pants. "Reid, I'm going to drop you if I don't pull away," Rossi finally says. Reid lowers his legs and allows Rossi to lean on him until his knees stop shaking. They get dressed, Spencer's shirt no longer hide the bump, and head to the BAU.
When they come in they're told the team is in the meeting room waiting for them. They walk in and both flinch when the team yells "surprise!" Spencer looks around at the party decor and the gifts and oh my god cake. "It's not my birthday," Spencer says stupidly.
Morgan walks up but keeps his distance. "This is us trying to apologize. We know that this doesn't make up for over a year of us being sub-human... But we're hoping this could be the first step... And that you'll stay so that we can keep trying..." Spencer steps forward and hesitantly hugs the man that used to be his best friend.
Derek hugs back as tight as he can. "Fuck, Spencer. I'm so sorry. I've been so fucking stupid and I didn't even realize how much I missed you, and how much we were hurting you." Derek says to him. Spencer just maintains the hug until Derek pulls away, wiping his eyes.
"Spencer... we've all been stupid. I know that you don't expect us to all agree with you being gay, or being with Rossi. You never asked us to just agree with you. You asked us to accept it. We're adults and, whether we like it or not, we should have acted like adults," JJ says.
Emily steps up next. "I may not agree with it, but you're still my friends, my co-workers and people I owe my life to. We shouldn't have ignored you and made you feel like that."
Spencer takes David's hand. "You gave us a year without complaint to get used to you. And you made a good point, you don't fuck each other at the office. Before today, I'd never ever seen you touch each other. We acted childishly. We owe you everything, Spencer. And Rossi, you've been very helpful to this team. We're very sorry," Garcia says.
Spencer squeezes Rossi's hand. "Thank you," he says. Rossi grabs a chair so that Spencer can sit. "This is all I wanted. I didn't need a party, I didn't need anything but for you to be there and to treat me like I am still a human being," Rossi rubs his shoulders. "I appreciate this everyone. Thank you."
Hotch steps forward. "Will you stay with your family? We will all understand if you chose not to, and we will still remain your family. We just want you to be happy," he tells Spencer. Spencer is laughing but there are tears on his face. "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.," he tells him.
He's sitting at his desk and rubbing his stomach. He's happy. Happier than he has been the entire time he's been pregnant. "How far along are you, now?" Derek asks. "A day away from being in my seventeenth week." Derek swallows hard and leans forward with his palm out.
"May I?" He asks. Spencer nods because he can't trust his self to speak. He feels Derek's warm palm caress his bump and smiles. Rossi and Hotch watch happily. "I'm glad he chose to stay," Hotch says. Rossi nods. "It's going to be hard to get him to take maternity leave." They both share a laugh.
"Are you happy with him? With the thought of becoming a father?" Hotch asks. Rossi doesn't take his eyes off his lover's form. He's now jumping up and running from Morgan, who has just discovered that pregnant Spencer is a very ticklish Spencer. He doesn't answer until Morgan has chased Spencer out of eye sight.
"He makes me happy, and I'd like to think he feels the same. As for the bambino, I couldn't be any happier. Especially because he will be a gift to me from Spencer. I don't think we would have ever had children or adopted."
"How far along is he?" Hotch asks. "I think he's seventeen weeks. He's starting to feel more comfortable about it." "Did you see Mama Rossi?" Hotch asks. Rossi nods and sighs. "She's pressuring us to get married. That's when Spencer almost lost the baby." Hotch nods.
"Are you going to marry him?" Rossi shrugs. "I asked, but it was right before I realized that something was wrong. I don't know that I should try again." Hotch nods. "I think he would say yes. I think... The chance to have a happy family means a lot more to him than he's letting on."
Rossi eyes Spencer, who is now sitting at his desk eating candy, a gift from Garcia, while said woman lectures Morgan, presumably on why he shouldn't tickle poor, pretty little Reid.
