A/N: I know a couple of you 'corrected' my mistake about Pogue's real name being Nicholas, I read that on IMDB too, but I have a copy of the original script and his name was really Christopher, and I prefer Christopher over Nicholas... so that's why I chose Christopher. (shrugs) / (Original script also has Tyler as Miller and Chase as Simon... just an interest tidbit).

This is the real ending of the Reid Ending, Alternate endings are giving me a hard time so they will be up gradually.

Chapter 25
Roman

Five Months Later

"No matter how many times we do that, I don't think I'll ever get tired of taking Abbott's money…" Reid smirked snatching up the cash that was on the side of the pool table.

Tyler smirked as Reid handed him over half of their winnings.

"Bitter sweet, isn't it?" Tyler asked with a mischievous grin.

"Yes, yes it is…" Reid agreed bobbing his blonde head.

Tyler grinned as he grabbed the rack and started racking up the balls for them to play a little game, best friend against best friend. Tyler glanced over at the blonde who was smiling, but the smile was replaced by a look of confusion.

Tyler's eyebrows slammed together as he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He glanced down and pulled out the piece of technology as Reid did the same thing.

Reid slid open his phone, he clicked view on his phone and the words stared back at him, his heart dropping to his feet.

Caitlin's in labor! Hurry!

He noticed the sender was Sarah, his eyes cut up to his best friend who was stoic, his feet firmly planted to the ground. Reid blinked several times before it finally sunk in, Caitlin was having the baby.

"Reid, we've got to go!" A loud voice boomed from half way across Nicky's. Reid's head snapped up as he looked at Pogue and Caleb who were slipping in to their jackets.

Tyler came out of his comatose state and pushed Reid towards the door, "C'mon man, you're going to be a father…" Tyler grinned as they all got in to the black Hummer.

"Where is she?" Reid asked his voice finally coming back to him.

"The girls were all out shopping when her water broke; they're taking her to Gloucester." Caleb stated as he shut his phone. "Mother is on her way, you're parents aren't far behind…"

Reid nodded his head as Tyler stepped on the gas.

"Where is he?" Caitlin asked her face flushed as she held on to Sarah's hand.

"I just text messaged all the guys, they're on their way now…" Sarah confirmed pushing her hair out of her face.

"Just breathe Caity," Kate smiled as they all settled down in to the room.

"This baby is going to come and he's not going to be here…" She felt the tears welling in her eyes.

"It's ok, breathe…" Kate took a few inhalations and Caitlin rolled her eyes at her engaged friend.

"You're not helping," Caitlin growled lowly.

"You're mom is on her way…" Sarah instructed as she hung up her phone.

"Good," Caitlin took a sharp breath as a contraction hit her full force. "Jesus H. Christ…"

"I got her ice chips," A voice came from the door, a head of red hair flowed around pale shoulders.

"I'm going to kill him," Caitlin growled lowly.

"You can't kill him, then the baby won't have a father… and you won't have a boyfriend and you…" Kate started to ramble on.

"Kate!" Sarah yelled her best friend's name.

"Sorry, I just… I'm nervous…" Kate explained.

"You're nervous…" Caitlin scoffed. "My boyfriend isn't even here… my brother's not here… my best friends aren't here… well other than you guys…"

"Thanks Cait, I feel really loved right now," Sarah joked trying to lighten the mood.

"You know what I mean!" Caitlin forced a small smile as the red head handed her the cup of ice chips. "I hate the nurse, she's a bitch…"

"You can't eat just incase the baby comes in the next few hours, minutes… whatever…" The red head stated hurriedly.

Caitlin glanced at her and sighed, "Annabelle you're like the Pogue of our little girl group…" She grinned her face distorted as another contraction ripped through her body.

"So I look really ridiculous in a small little speedo?" Annabelle asked with a huge grin.

Kate looked at her and all four girls started laughing.

The flow of the room settled down a bit after Annabelle cracked her little joke. Evelyn showed up, followed by Meredith and Joseph. Caitlin's contractions were coming closer and harder than when she first entered the hospital.

"If he's not here in five minutes I'm going to disown him," Caitlin growled in pain as she clutched on to the bed sheets.

"They were at Nicky's…" Sarah stated as she looked at her close friend in agony.

"I don't care if they were in Florida, I need my brother and I need my boyfriend and I need my best friends… because I'm not letting this baby come in to the world without his father and his uncles…"

"Honey, you really don't have a choice, if he's coming… he's coming…" Evelyn stated pushing her daughter's hair out of her face.

"I refuse…" Caitlin glared at her mother.

"We're here…" A breathless voice stated, as four figures came looming in front of the door, all bent over trying to catch their breath.

"It's about time," Caitlin stated her eyes falling on the four men that just walked in to her hospital room.

Reid smiled seeing her, the one day they decided to spend having a 'girls' day' and a 'guys' day' is the one day that she decides to go in to labor. He shook his head at the thought. The lot of them had been home for the weekend and were going to be back to school that following Monday.

They were all talking when a nurse came in, and nearly fell over.

"Where did all of these people come from?" She asked heading towards Caitlin.

"They're my family," She shrugged her shoulders.

"All of these people are your family?" She asked checking the machines with her heart rate and the baby's heart rate on them.

Caitlin looked around the room and smiled, "Yep," She nodded her head.

"I don't think you're going to want them around for this, I have to check and see how dilated you are…" The nurse stated glancing around.

Caitlin sighed and nodded her head, she asked everyone to leave except for Reid who happily stayed and gave her a kiss as the doctor came in moments later to check her dilation.

"Nine centimeters, looks like we're going to be having a baby soon," He stated with a small smile on his face.

After what seemed like an eternity to Caitlin she was fully dilated and on her way to become a teen mother. She was allowed three people in the room with her. She had opted for just Reid and her mother after she saw her brother's face distort in to pure agony at the sign of her last contraction before she was ten centimeters.

"You can do this baby," Reid whispered to her as the doctor came in, they were all prepared, all dressed to the nines in their scrubs and gear.

"You ready for a baby Miss Danvers?" The doctor asked her.

"Just get this thing out of me, please…" She gritted her teeth as pain seared through her body, it would have knocked her on her ass if she were able to stand up.

"Let's have a baby," The doctor grinned.

Reid stared at the man, he was just way too happy to be delivering a baby, and watching his girlfriend in complete pain. Caitlin had opted for a natural child birth and was regretting it as soon as she hit eight centimeters.

Her labor was long, painful, but fulfilling as she held her and Reid's son in her arms hours later. She smiled tears falling from her cheeks as she looked at the fair skinned child in her arms. Her brown eyes looked up to meet Reid's blue ones and she bit back the sob that threatened to come when she saw the tears rolling over his flushed cheeks.

"You're crying," She whispered to him.

Reid sniffled and brushed his hoodie over his face as he laughed, "So, I am…" He grinned leaning down to place a kiss on his son's forehead.

"I don't think I've ever seen you cry," She whispered as he sat down next to her, putting his arm around her shoulders and leaning in to hold his son's hand with his long fingers.

"I don't think I've ever been this happy," He whispered in to her ear, placing a chaste kiss on her temple.

Caitlin smiled and looked up at him, taking her attention off of her son for a few seconds to take in the face of the man that she had grown to love so much more than she could have ever imagined possible.

Reid smiled pulling her in to a warm kiss, Caitlin felt her insides twist and turn in pleasure at the feeling of his heavenly lips on hers. She pulled away and grinned at him.

"I love you," She told him sweetly as he gave her a genuine smile back.

"I love you, too…" He pressed his forehead against hers.

Caitlin couldn't help but glance down at their son. The result of what she thought had been a terrible mistake, which turned out to be a complete miracle for her, and for Reid. She had fallen in love with her best friend, and he had done the same.

She pressed her lips to the baby's forehead and smiled pulling back from the small human being in her arms. She noticed something poking out of his blanket, her brow furrowed.

Reid watched a small grin on his face as she used her free hand to finger the boy's blanket; her mouth fell open as her small fingers wrapped around a beautiful ring. She pulled the ring from the blanket and stared up at Reid her eyes showing her disbelief.

"Reid," She whispered his name as the young man looked at her with loving blue eyes.

"I told you that I love you," Reid grinned slightly as he took the little boy from her arms; he pulled the ring in to his grasp and slipped it on to her left ring finger. "I want you to marry me, Caity…" He told her.

Caitlin stared down at the ring, it was a familiar ring, and she felt her heart stop.

"Reid this is," She whispered her mouth fell open, it was suddenly dry.

"Your grandmother's ring, I know…" He smiled glancing down at the baby in his arms. "So, love what do you say?" He asked with a grin.

Caitlin looked down at the ring on her finger and a wave of emotions crashed over her. She never thought that she would see this ring again. She remembered the distraught look on her mother's face when she thought she had misplaced it, or lost it.

"How did you?" She asked shaking her head, completely baffled.

She looked up at him and he grinned, "How do you think?" He asked as his eyes flashed a ring of fire and she settled back in her bed. "I talked to your mom about, you know… proposing and she said that you always wanted your grandmother's ring…" He swallowed hard and played with his son's hand absentmindedly. "But she said it was lost, or stolen or whatever…"

"So," Caitlin shook her head. "You used to find it…"

"I did, I used to make you happy… because I knew that's what you wanted, and I wanted to be able to give you that…" He lifted his chin to the pear shaped diamond on her finger.

"Does mother know?" She asked her brown eyes searching his blue ones as he looked a bit annoyed.

"Are you stalling or something?" He asked shaking his head.

Caitlin's brow furrowed and he looked at the ring, "What are you talking about?" She asked him upset that he would ruin such a beautiful moment with his temper.

"Caitlin," Reid sighed placing the baby in his basinet. He folded his arms over his chest and with his left hand tapped his fingers on his chin, "I just asked you to marry me, and you are going on and on about this ring… I'd like an answer…" He rolled his blue eyes.

Caitlin's eyes closed, she held in a small chuckle as she sat up in the bed, her legs killing her but she wanted to be able to get a good look at the man that had just asked her to marry him.

"Do you really think after all of this," She looked around the room and then down at the ring. "That I'd say no?" She asked.

Reid smiled and kissed her feverishly on the lips. The two were enjoying their moment when the door burst open and a group of yelling, crying, happy people stormed in to the room.

"Oh my god!" Kate screamed hugging her as she pulled away from Reid in shock. "We're both getting married!" She stated taking a look at the rock on her friend's finger. "No wonder she didn't want to answer you, that rock is huge…"

Caitlin laughed at Kate's antics and smiled up at her fiancé, "You guys heard… all of that…" She asked referring to her conversation with her blonde counter-part.

"Oh yeah," Caleb nodded his head with a grin.

"Congratulations," Annabelle hugged her new found friend, as Tyler came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist, pressing a chaste kiss to her cheek.

"My two favorite people," Pogue grinned pulling Reid into a tight manly hug. Kate glared at him. "Two other favorite people…" He flashed his fiancée a winning smile.

"Where's my grandson?" Meredith asked clapping her hands together as she came in to the room with her husband, and the other parents of the Covenant.

"Over here mom," Reid lifted his chin to the basinet.

Meredith scurried across the room and took her grandson in her arms as all of the elders fussed over him. Caitlin watched and shook her head completely satisfied.

"So, little sister…" Caleb pushed his way through the crowd of friends and family.

"Yes, big brother," She grinned at him taking his hand in hers.

"Did it turn out to be what you expected?" He asked glancing down at the ring on her finger with a small hint of a small on his lips.

"Nothing at all like I expected," Caitlin whispered to him. "Better," She glanced over at Reid who was talking to Tyler and joking around with him and his girlfriend Annabelle. "Much better,"

"Good," He smiled. "Roman's a handsome little devil, isn't he?" He admired from afar as Evelyn took her turn holding her newborn grandson.

"Takes after his mother's side of the family, thank God," Sarah grinned from next to Caleb.

"Tell me about it," Pogue smirked putting his arm around Kate's shoulders.

The gang hung around for awhile until Reid ushered everyone out, stating that his future wife needed her beauty sleep. Caitlin smirked as he pressed a kiss to her forehead and handed their son off to her.

"I'm gonna go get some coffee, I'll be back." He reported.

Caitlin smiled and nodded, as she glanced down at her son. Her eyes left him for a second as the door Reid just slipped out of closed behind him. It was so quiet now, perfect, and peaceful.

Just her and her son.

"You know Rome," She whispered to him. The baby glanced up at her as if listening. Caitlin felt a tingling sensation in her nose, the water in her eyes raise as she looked lovingly at her newborn baby, "You just made my happy ending,"

I love sap, and I love sappy endings even more. Yay for sap... so did you like it? Hate it? Can't wait to see what I do with the Tyler ending? And maybe even a surprise ending? -- Me too!
