Instead of the short story I was going to write that was set in between this story and 'Our Little Princess' I decided to make it an epilogue.

----

Spencer Reid woke up one morning almost a year after the birth of his first daughter Abigail. Tragedy had just struck the happy home. A couple weeks earlier Elle had announced that she was pregnant. Only to get in a car accident and loose the baby. Elle was still in the hospital, though she was going to be okay. She was coming home today, the entire BAU team was planning a surprise party. Though Spencer guessed that Elle wouldn't be in a party mood. He had told Penelope that, but she had simply ignored him.

"Come on Princess, let's go eat so we can bring mommy home." Spencer said lifting his one-year-old daughter out of her crib. She had shoulder length hair that curled up at the ends, it was so thick. Though Elle insisted that by this time next year it would be straight like hers.

"Dada!" She said, hugging her father close.

"Glad to see you're in a good mood." Spencer said, carrying his daughter out of her room and into the kitchen. She had learned how to walk a couple months before so once Spencer set her down she took off somewhere. He chased her. "Oh no you don't, you stay in here with daddy." He said picking her up and carrying her back to the kitchen. Where she flopped down onto the floor with her arms crossed as she glared at him. Reid couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't get mad at me, I can't let you run around while I am in here making breakfast." He said, trying to reason with his daughter, then he turned to the stove. Once the scrambled eggs were done he put them on two plates and turned around to set them on the table, when he stopped dead in his tracks. His daughter sat in front of the fridge with the magnetic letters. They spelled 'Abigail Isabella Reid'.

"Dada ook!" Abigail said pointing to the letters. She was smiling proudly.

"Wow! Where'd you learn to do that?" He asked, though he wasn't as happy as he let his daughter think.

"Moma." She said, she pronounced it half way like 'mama' and half way like 'mommy'.

"Of course." He grumbled. "Come on and eat your food." He said, picking up his daughter and setting her in her high chair.

"Elle when did you teach our daughter to spell?" Spencer asked once they were at the hospital.

"She was bored one day so I thought I'd show her how to spell her name." Elle said, putting on one shoe.

"Is that all she can spell?" Reid asked. Elle shook her head.

"No she caught on pretty quick, so she can spell some things if she really sets her mind to it." Elle said, when she saw the look of terror on his face she added, "Don't worry, I don't think she's a genius. She's smart yes, but not a genius."

"I hope your right."

"Surprise!" Everyone shouted when Elle and Spencer entered the house.

"Hey guys." Elle said, somewhat sadly.

"What's wrong?" Penelope asked.

"Nothing." Elle said, but Penelope and Spencer both saw the tear slide down her face.

"Moma, I ou ad?" Abigail asked her mother, somehow Elle was able to decode it.

"Mommy's just a little sad because Mommy got a bobo, but she'll be better soon." Elle assured her daughter before setting her down.

"Are we going to tell them?" Spencer whispered. They had been looking for the right time to tell everyone about Elle's pregnancy, they didn't get a chance to though because of the accident. Elle shook her head.

"How are you feeling?" JJ asked walking up to Elle and hugging her.

"Alright." Elle sighed. The rest of the party went by in a blur. There was cake, and everyone had a good time, but Spencer could tell that Elle was NOT okay.

"Babe how are feeling? Really?" Spencer asked once all the guests had left.

"I… I don't know really." Elle whispered. Luckily for them Penelope had volunteered to take Abigail for the night.

"It's not your fault you know?" Spencer said resting a hand on the small of her back. Elle spun around to face him, the look in her eyes both broke his heart and terrified him at the same time.

"It is to my fault! That baby trusted me to take care of it and I go and kill it!" She yelled at him.

"Elle, you had no idea that you were going to get hit by a car, besides I've seen footage of the accident, it wasn't your fault." He insisted. "You're lucky you even survived." He whispered.

"I was going to be a mom again, and I had to go and ruin it! I knew something was going to happen, I knew it." She sobbed. Spencer pulled her into his arms.

"We can try again?" He offered.

"Maybe. But what if I kill that one too?" She asked.

"You won't." He said.

"Well let's get to it!" She said dragging him towards the bedroom.

"Elle I don't know if you're ready yet." He said, but she glared at him so he shut up. He knew his family was going to be alright. Nothing could change it. He also decided not to ever tell anyone about the baby they almost had. He decided it was better if no one knew.

Cheesy ending I know, but hey! I have an idea for the sequel. Based on my real life experiences. Though Elle and Reid's pov will be improvised, since I was only a child (still am) when it happened. Review?
