"Hey, Becca, I'm exhausted. I'm going to go take a shower and go ahead and go to sleep." Emily said with a yawn walking towards the bathroom.
"Okay, I'll tell Spencer when he gets here." Becca replied from behind her laptop.
About 45 minutes later, Emily was sound asleep in the hotel bed. At 10:30 Becca heard laughter outside the door and Spencer walked in.
"Hey Becca. Em's asleep?" he asked.
"Yeah, she was pretty dang tired. So, how was dinner?"
"It was okay. I wish you two could have been there though."
"Haha, well we had a pretty interesting dinner ourselves."
"Oh really, what did you have."
"Well it was kind of a mixture of things. Chinese, icecream, cookies, soda."
"Hhmm, interesting." Spencer said with a smile as he sat down beside Becca on the pull out sofa.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm working on my novel." She replied with a smile.
"You're writing a novel?!"
"Yeah.."
"Well, how's that coming along? What is it about?"
"I've been working on it for about six months. It's about a girl who is dying from a brain tumor and she lived in Vegas and then she decides to come to Virginia for treatment and meet her brother she never knew. It's really heart wrenching." Becca said with a sly smile.
"Are you trying to tell me something?" Spencer asked suddenly feeling uncomfortable.
"I guess so. My novel is kind of like my autobiography."
"What are you saying, Becca?"
"Spencer, I'm dying." Spencer's mouth opened in shock.
"I have a very fast growing brain tumor. They did all they could do in Vegas, so I came to Quantico for a special new treatment and to meet you before I die--." Becca said as her voice broke off. Tears started streaming down her cheeks. It had been awhile since she had cried like this. The sobs came from deep within her core. Spencer reached over and pulled her into a soft brotherly hug and let her cry. Becca had been so courageous and strong when she was talking to Emily earlier. She felt completely different now. Scared, unsure, vulnerable and sad.
"It's okay, Becca. Everything is going to be alright. You have me and Emily. You don't have to be alone. You're not alone, Becca." Spencer murmured trying not to lose control and burst into tears himself. The prospect of losing his only sister that he just met frightened him. He would have to talk to Emily.
After awhile, Becca's sobbing subsided.
"Spence, I'm really tired. I'm going to go to sleep now." Becca said rubbing her eyes.
"Okay, we're going to have to wake up bright and early in the morning, so sleep well."
"Okay, nighty night Spencer."
"Good night." He replied as he gently crawled into the bed with Emily. He looked over at her sleeping body and the days events played over in his mind. Before he knew it, he fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
**********
The bright light streaming through the big window woke Emily the next morning. She sat up, yawned and looked over at a still sleeping Spencer.
"He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping." She thought with a smile. She then quietly got up and headed for the bathroom to get dressed. After she came out, she decided to be sweet and put some coffee on. Today was the day she was going to tell Spencer and she couldn't wait! Just as the coffee started brewing and the aroma started to fill in the air, Emily's stomach did a flip and she felt extremely nauseous all of a sudden. She ran to the bathroom and made it just in time.
Spencer was awakened by awful noises coming from the bathroom. He jumped up, and ran through the door to find a very pale Emily bending over the toilet.
"Em, are you okay!?!"
"I am now. You pretty much missed all of the excitement in here." She replied with a smile.
"Emily, when we get back to Quantico, you are going to a doctor! You've been sick like this the past week, and it's worrying me. You could have stomach ulcers or something!"
"Relax, Spencer. I'm sure this is perfectly normal right now."
"Normal? You think puking your guts out every day is normal?" Spencer asked not getting Emily's subtle hints.
"Actually I think it is normal for this stage." She said with a huge smile on her face.
"For this stage? Emily, what are you talkin--" Spencer broke off. He finally understood. He looked into the garbage can and saw the empty pregnancy test boxes.
Emily's smile grew, if that was even possible.
"Em! You're, you're …. Pregnant!!!!!!!" Spencer yelled.
"Yes!" she squealed.
"Oh, Emily!" Spencer said then pulled her into a huge embrace. He then picked her up and spun her around.
"I can't believe it, sweetheart! We're going to have a baby." He said as he kissed her. The kiss turned from slow and sweet to fast and passionate. His hands were moving up and down her back and her hands were entwined in his hair. They were so busy they didn't hear the soft footsteps approaching.
"Aaah! Okay, guys that is not the first thing I want to see when I wake up in the morning. Ew!" Becca said as she was trying to walk into the bathroom.
The two immediately stopped and Spencer's face turned bright red.
"I just told him!" Emily said.
"Oh, you did!! Isn't it wonderful, Spence?" Becca asked.
"It definitely is." He replied gently kissing Emily on the forehead. Just then, Emily's cell phone rang from inside her pants pocket.
"Hello?!"
"Hey Emily! Um, the jet is going to be up and rolling in about an hour, so Hotch told me to call you guys and tell you." JJ said from the other line.
"Okay. Thanks! JJ, I'm extremely sorry about being so rude to you all those times. I know you were just trying to help, and I'm sooo sorry. You were right, and I just didn't want to face it."
"It's okay Em. I was moody too when I was pregnant with Henry. So, wait. You are pregnant!?!"
"Yes!!" Emily squealed.
"Oh My Goodness! That's awesome! Does Spence know?"
"Yeah, I just told him."
"Well…."
"He's overly excited! Just like me. Hey, JJ. Don't tell the others. I want to keep this on the down low until I actually go to the doctor."
"My lips are sealed. Oh, Em! I am so happy for you guys!"
"Thanks, JJ. Gotta run. Need to get ready. See you in a few!"
"Alright! Tell Spence congrats for me."
Then the line went dead. She smiled at Spencer who was fixing himself some coffee, and sent JJ's regards. Then she leaned up and kissed him softly.
"I love you, Spencer Reid. And, I think you're going to be a fantastic daddy."
"Well, you're going to be a wonderful mommy, Em. I love you so much. Oh how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…" Spencer said as he placed a hand on her nonexistent baby bump.
"I don't think I will be able to wait nine months to see my baby genius." Emily said looking down at his hand.
Spencer smiled and said, "Me either. You know, studies have shown--" He was cut off by yet another kiss from Emily.
"Oh My Goodness, guys, we are going to have to get a better system. This is the second time in one morning I have walked in on your make out sessions." Becca said walking into the kitchen with her suitcase, purse, and laptop bag.
"I guess you're right." Spencer shyly said.
"Okay, I'm ready, and we need to get going!!"
"You're right, JJ is like blowing up my cell." Emily added.
"Okay, then. Let's go." Spencer said grabbing his and Emily's suitcases and opening the door. He was so happy; it was going to be hard to hide this from the team for awhile.
Note: This chapter had a lot, I know. Sadness, then fluffiness. Spencer just really needed to be in the loop, don't ya think? Review, please!! Next chapter, soon. (: - b r i t .
