"Anna started school today," Chris sighed, stirring her coffee sadly with her finger, and then sucking the coffee of her finger. Garcia peeped, clasping her hands in delight and quickly asked if she had a picture. Chris laughed slightly and pulled her phone out her pocket, showing Garcia a picture of the two years and four months old girl. Anna's caramel hair was pulled into two ponytails, wearing a denim skirt with a white frilly shirt and a pink cardigan and small pink shoes.
"Oh my, she is such a cutie-pie! What grade is she going into?" Garcia asked and Chris held up four fingers, with a small smile. "Oh, that little genius! Of course she would skip all the early stuff. How's the oh so darling little Eva doing? Any signs of genius in her?"
"No, thankfully. As much as I love Anna, and I do, I don't think I could cope if Eva was gifted as well. One super-smart child is enough for me," Chris said, feeling guilty with every word. It was difficult to have a child that even at the young age Anna was, was smarter than her. She was lucky to have Reid there to balance out the genius in the household and offer Anna a challenge every now and then. She took a drink of her coffee, and Garcia gasped, takign it from her quickly.
"What? It's just coffee!" Chris groaned, feeling suddenly irritated. She just wanted her coffee! Something which was Reid's fault because he had her addicted to the stuff. Garcia shook her head, adamantly.
"You can't drink coffee, sugar mama, not in your condition," Garcia gasped, and Chris asked 'What condition' dumbly, completely unaware of what Garcia was talking about. Garcia blinked and gestured to her stomach. "You know, sweetie, the baby."
"What baby?"
"Your baby."
"I'm not pregnant!"
"Yes you are, sweetie. It was in your blood test results for your physical," Garcia stated, and Chris moaned loudly, her mouth opening and closing in shock. She leaned back against Garcia's desk, eyes wide and terrified. Garcia sat up straight, looking at Chris with a sudden realisation. "You didn't know you were pregnant, Chris?" Garcia questioned and Chris let out a noise that sounded like a cat being strangled, shaking her head 'no' rapidly. "Oh my god..."
"I... I... wha... I... ohhahooh," she sounded belligerently, putting her head in her hands. The sound of feet rushing towards Garcia's office caused Garcia to look up, and see a clearly excited Reid in the doorway. He went to asked if she'd seen Chris, when he noticed his wife in obvious distress. His expression instantly went into one that Garcia had seen few times, one of softness and deliberate care.
"Hey, what's wrong," he asked, going over to her and holding her wrists. He pulled her hands from her face, and then cupped her cheeks, making her look up at him. Hazel meshed with dark chocolate, and he searched her eyes, trying to find an answer. "What is it?"
"She's preggers!" Garcia blurted out, and Reid's eyes widened, but didn't leave Chris's, who's own teared up. Garcia looked between them wondering what was happening when their foreheads rested against each other.
"Are you okay?" he whispered, and she closed her eyes, breathing slowly. Slowly, she nodded, forehead rubbing against his. "Are you sure?"
"Always... are you?" she breathed, licking her lips. He nodded as well, and she gave a sigh of relief. "What are we going to do?"
"We're gonna be a mommy and daddy again."
