Chapter 10

.

"Yes, Derek, that means you're the other father..."

One little sentence and suddenly Morgan's life had become a whole lot more complicated than it already was.

Derek didn't doubt Spencer's words for one second. The young genius didn't have any reason to lie.

But that was exactly what was bothering Morgan so much. In the past three days he had tried to convince himself that he was happy with Gloria and when their child was born they would be a happy family.

And now, now everything had changed again and Morgan had no idea how to deal with that.

He buried his head in his hands and tried to find out what he was feeling right now.

Morgan just didn't know if he should be angry at Reid for not telling him, or feeling like a complete asshole for leaving Spencer like that, because he had always wanted children and had thought Spencer would never be able to grant him that wish.

/God, how could I have been so selfish and blind to my feelings?/ he wondered, but then again, he did have feelings for Gloria and the child, but Morgan wasn't sure anymore what exactly those feelings were.

He had always thought he loved Gloria, but now, now, he wondered if it really was love or if it was more a crush than anything else and he had mistaken it for love, because Gloria had granted him his biggest wish.

And for once Derek really had no idea what to do and what to feel.

Suddenly there was Spencer and he was carrying his and Morgan's children and that made things a whole lot more complicated and he had no idea how to get out of this.

But then again, Reid hadn't told him about the pregnancy and that he was carrying triplets, no less.

/And he must have known for quite a while now./ he mused and suddenly there was anger, because, even though they hadn't been together anymore, Derek deserved to know about it.

And Reid didn't really seem upset and had started a new relationship with Rossi now, and that thought made Morgan even angrier.

"God, when did this get so fucked up?" he murmured and looked up again, shifting in the uncomfortable plastic chair of the hospital waiting room.

He hadn't been allowed into the room with Reid, but Rossi had, and that hadn't really helped Morgan's mood any.

Reid was carrying his children and not Rossi's. He had a right to know if something was wrong with the babies...

.

And that was when something else really sunk in.

Morgan was going to become a father of four children and not only one and that thought made him happy, even though he really needed to work out how to go about this situation.

He couldn't just go to Gloria and tell her that Reid was pregnant.

Okay, she knew that Morgan's last relationship had been with a man, but Derek had told her nothing else.

Morgan once again buried his head in his hands and tried to sort out his feelings... but there were too many right now to really get a clear head.

He was happy to learn about the babies, no matter what had happened between him and Reid... the babies were still his children and he would take care of them, no matter how.

But he was also a little scared that something might be wrong with Spencer or the babies or Spencer and the babies... and Derek wasn't sure how he would cope with that.

And of course there was also the anger and the jealousy, anger that Reid hadn't told him sooner, probably hadn't even planned to tell him anytime soon and jealousy that it was Rossi who had been taking care of Spencer in the last weeks, who had been able to share everything baby-related with the young genius.

"You can go in and see him now, he wants to talk to you."

Rossi's voice stopped the musings and somehow Morgan was glad for that, because he knew he wouldn't be able to figure all this out tonight and he really wanted to talk to Spencer.

Morgan looked up and at Rossi, his expression a mix of anger and relief.

"How is he?" he questioned, running a hand over his face to calm himself.

"He's okay and the babies are too," Rossi informed, a relieved smile on his face, which turned into a frown when he saw the angry look on Morgan's face.

"Are you alright?" Dave questioned and sat down beside the other man, even though he had a pretty good idea what was going on in the other man's mind.

Derek gave a sarcastic snort.

"Yeah, of course I'm alright, why wouldn't I be?" he questioned angrily, obviously not expecting an answer to that question, because he continued before Rossi could get a word in.

"You knew, didn't you? You knew that he was pregnant and that the babies are mine."

Rossi flinched a little at the harsh tone of Derek's voice and he felt a little guilty for not pressuring Reid more about telling Morgan what was going on.

He sighed and looked Morgan in the eyes.

"Yes I knew," was all he answered, because he had no real idea what else to say and denying everything was not an option, not anymore.

Morgan clenched his fists and it took all his self-control to not yell at Rossi what he thought about that.

Instead he questioned calmly, well as calmly as he could in that situation: "And you saw this as your chance to win Spencer for you by helping him, didn't you? That's very noble, Rossi."

Even though his voice was quiet, the accusation could easily be heard and Rossi felt his own anger rise.

.

"Don't go and turn this around on me. Yes, I wanted to help Spencer, because he was all alone and he was scared and had no idea how to handle the pregnancy since the other father was going to marry someone else and have another family. And yes, I may have had an ulterior motive too, I admit that, but first and foremost I had Spencer's well-being in mind," he stated, trying to stay calm himself.

Morgan glared at him, but he wasn't sure what to say, because Rossi's words had made him feel guilty too.

Yes, he had left Reid and he hadn't even really asked if he was okay with it. He had just assumed that the young genius was okay with it, since it had always been a casual relationship, nothing serious...

Well, Morgan now knew that he had been wrong and he would love to fix this mess, but he had no idea how to do that without hurting someone he cared deeply for, because he would either hurt Spencer or Gloria and both was not an option, because he loved both of them.

He just had to figure out who he loved more...

/And you need to find out if Spencer might even want you back.../ Once again there was this little voice in his head and Morgan had to admit that it was right and that he didn't even know if he still stood a chance with the young genius... if he decided that he wanted one.

"God, this is really fucked up," he murmured, for a second forgetting that Rossi was sitting right beside him.

Only the hand on his shoulder reminded him.

He looked up and was surprised that the older man looked sympathetic, because this was the least he had expected.

"Look, Morgan. You made mistakes and you can't change that now, but you should really go and talk to Spencer about everything and maybe you can work together to find the best solution," Rossi told him softly.

Now Derek was even more surprised.

"So you're just giving him up?" he asked, not really understanding what Dave meant.

Rossi laughed a little, but it was a sad one.

"No, I'm not giving him up, Morgan. Well, aside from the fact that I don't really have him yet, I don't plan on just sitting back and watch you two get back together, I'm going to fight for him," he started and removed his hand from Morgan's shoulder.

"I'm just doing what I think is best right now. And you really should go and talk to Spencer. And then you should figure out what you're going to tell Gloria. And I'm going to call Hotch and tell him what's happening."

.

When Rossi mentioned Gloria, Morgan flinched and he knew that Rossi was right.

So he sighed deeply, stood up from his chair and walked towards Reid's hospital room.

In front of the door, he hesitated for a second, before knocking.

"Come in."

Spencer's voice was a little shaky and Morgan took another deep breath, before slowly pushing open the door to the hospital room, not sure what to expect.

His eyes immediately landed on Spencer in the bed.

The young genius still looked pale, but he also looked better than he had in that police station about an hour ago.

One hand was resting protectively on his stomach and the other was nervously smoothing a lock of hair from his face.

But Morgan's gaze rested on Reid's stomach and he wondered how on earth he hadn't noticed the baby bump... well he might not have recognized as one, because he would never have suspected that Reid might be pregnant since he was a man, but he should have noticed that Reid wasn't as thin as he had been anymore.

And he should have noticed how much Reid had changed in the last weeks, how he somehow looked healthier, happier...

Morgan finally tore his eyes away from Spencer's stomach and looked at the young man. Reid even seemed a little amused that Derek had spent the last minute staring at his stomach.

But it also made the younger man feel self-conscious for some reason.

"Hey," he greeted, just to say something.

Morgan smiled a tight smile and sat down on the chair beside the bed.

"How are you feeling?" he questioned, to buy himself some time and to figure out what to say.

Reid shrugged lightly.

"Hmm, I feel okay, I guess... just a little tired, but mostly relieved that the babies are okay."

And there it was, the elephant in the room and Morgan knew that they needed to talk about it.

"So you really are pregnant?"

Okay, it was kind of a dumb question, but Morgan had no idea what else to ask and it still hadn't really sunk in that Spencer, a man, was pregnant.

Reid nodded and a fond smile made its way onto his face and he rubbed his stomach gently.

"Yeah, I am, but rest assured that I had a hard time believing it too when the doc told me."

Morgan resisted the urge to place his hand on Reid's belly too, because he had no idea how the other would react to that.

Instead he ran the itching hand over his face and looked at Spencer, trying to keep the accusation out of his voice, when he asked: "And you didn't think that I had a right to know that I was going to be a father?"

Reid snorted and didn't look the other in the eye.

"Actually, I wanted to tell you, but you were so busy with Gloria that I had no idea how to tell you. I mean, you made it pretty clear that whatever we had was over and that you were in love with Gloria. I couldn't deal with the rejection."

The young genius wasn't able to keep the accusation out of his voice and Morgan even flinched at the tone, guilt once again washing through him.

"But Spencer, this has not really anything to do with me and Gloria. I mean, you know how much I wanted kids, do you really think I would have rejected you?" he questioned softly, sad that Reid might really think that.

Spencer sighed deeply.

"I don't know, Derek. You just left me behind to be with Gloria without really asking how I felt about that," he answered honestly.

Morgan ran a hand over his face.

"Spencer, I... I always thought what we had was just something casual. And... and, well, I can't help that I've fallen in love with Gloria. I thought you'd be happy for me."

Even to his own ears the explanation sounded kind of empty and more like an excuse.

And Reid seemed to think so too, because he gave a sarcastic chuckle, before turning to Morgan again, looking exhausted.

"Damn Derek, of course I wanted you to be happy, no matter with whom, but was it so wrong of me to hope that you'd be happy with me?" he questioned and before he could really stop himself, he added sadly: "Don't you see that I loved you?"

Morgan's eyes widened and he stared at the young genius in shock.

He had expected a lot, but not that and he honestly had no idea how to cope with that admission on top of everything else he had found out today.

And then he suddenly realized that Reid had spoken in past tense.

"You loved me?" he questioned softly, leaning a little closer to the young genius.

"And you don't anymore?" he added, wanting to find out how good his chances were to get back with Spencer, Gloria forgotten for now.

Reid stared at Morgan and shrugged lightly, before averting his eyes.

"I don't know if I still love you, Derek. Too much has happened in the past months."

.

If Reid wanted to say more, he didn't get a chance, because Rossi came back into the room, a concerned expression on his face, but he didn't look at Reid, but at Morgan.

Derek felt uneasy.

"Is everything alright?" he questioned, not sure what to expect from the older man today.

"Morgan, Hotch just got a call from back home... something happened," he started, not sure how to go on.

And Derek immediately felt a knot form in his stomach.

"What happened?" he asked.

Rossi took a deep breath and then finally told Derek, what Hotch had told him on the phone.

"Morgan, Gloria has been in an accident..."
