Chapter Twenty Five: Doctors and Birthday Celebrations
Reid did his best to sit back and get comfortable which wasn't easy since he was sitting on a hard wooden chair tucked away in the corner of a tiny exam room.
He knew though that he must me way more comfortable than Hannah right now. She was sitting up on a high exam table right beside him.
She was currently attempting to make herself look somewhat decent in the scratchy sea foam green hospital gown she'd been given to put on the second they'd been brought back here.
Reid gave Hannah a soft nervous smile before he stared a bit wide eyed at the exam room walls. There were a couple of paintings of some things that kind of resembled flowers and brown rabbits on the walls.
The thing that made him uneasy though were the large diagrams hanging side by side on the wall straight in front of him.
The first diagram was of a Uterus and ovaries. No it wasn't the first time he'd ever seen a diagram of these two things after all he'd taken an anatomy class in college just for fun, but just like any other male in the world it made him feel a little awkward to see it.
The second diagram was was of a baby's development thought out a normal pregnancy from cells, to an embryo, to a fetus, and finally to an unborn baby.
Reid was doing his best not too keep staring back and forth from this particular diagram to Hannah's still flat stomach.
He was still pretty amazed by the fact that Hannah was in fact pregnant. There were so many things that he was already looking forward to.
He knew from all the research he'd done that by the tenth week of pregnancy they would already be able to hear the baby's heartbeat.
By the sixteenth week they would more than likely be able to see if it was a boy or girl. By the eighteenth week the baby should start kicking. By the nineteenth week the baby would probably begin to hear sounds.
He hadn't just learned about the positive things though. He'd started to learn about some pretty negative things that were really worrying him.
He had learned that 26,000 women gave birth to stillborn babies every year in the US. 467,000 babies were born prematurely every year in North America. 154,051 babies were born with birth defects each year in the US.
Reid hadn't shared these particular frightening statistics with Hannah knowing that it would only worry her.
There were so many things that Reid knew he had no control over and he was doing his best to try to not worry about them so much, but it was really easier said than done.
He wasn't surprised to feel Hannah reach down and grasp his hand in hers as Dr. Sasha Coffman walked into the room.
They had only met Dr. Coffman once before this appointment and both Reid and Hannah could admit that they liked her.
She was an attractive women in her mid thirties though she was so thin it almost border lined as being frail. Her dark red hair was pulled back into a professional bun and one could clearly take notice of her bright blue eyes under the thick black rims of her glasses.
Hannah's mother hadn't been lying when she'd said that Dr. Coffman was the best in DC. The both of her parents had been obstetricians as well and even a few of her siblings had actually gone into the same business.
She reached out with one thin well manicured hand and shook both Reid's and Hannah's hands as she spoke up. "It's nice to see you both again. If you don't mind I'd like to ask a few questions before I jump right into examining you. Hopefully we'll be able to estimate your due date today."
Hannah nodded her head as Reid gave her hand a gentle reassuring squeeze. Dr. Coffman took no time to take a seat on the stool in front of the exam table and start firing off questions.
Most of the questions were about Hannah's past medical history and Reid had felt himself beginning to daydream before all the questions had ended.
His attention was quickly brought back to the task at hand when he saw Dr. Coffman slip on a pair of white vinyl gloves and Hannah was forced to lay back and put both of her feet into stir ups that reminded Reid of some type of torture device.
Reid felt his cheeks flush as soon as he realized just what was about to happen. He did his best to advert his eyes far away from Dr. Coffman and pretended to be fascinated by a jar of cotton balls sitting on the counter behind her.
He did listen to the conversation beside him though and couldn't help but to let out a mental sigh of relief when he heard that everything looked okay.
It wasn't long after this that Dr. Coffman left the room promising to be back shortly to tell them their due date.
Reid and Hannah had already determined that they must have conceived on Valentines day.
Okay well not exactly on Valentines day since he'd been called away on a case the day before Valentines day. They hadn't had a chance to really truly celebrate until he got home on February 18th so February the 18th had been their Valentines day.
The 18th of February was more than likely the night they'd conceived seeing as it was the only time either one of them could really remember forgetting to use any type of birth control.
Reid turned his eyes back to Hannah relived to see that she was now sitting up and showing no signs of just being examined in probably the most personal way anyone could be examined.
She turned her head and gave Reid a surprisingly cheerful smile as she spoke up"So birthday boy is there anything you want to do once we finally get out of here?"
Reid raised an eyebrow as he heard this question. "Uh Hannah baby you are aware that my birthday isn't until tomorrow right?"
"I just thought you might want to start celebrating a little early since we do have the day off and all." Hannah stated shrugging her shoulders.
"I guess we could go out and get some lunch if you want." Reid said knowing that he would probably do anything she wanted to do.
Hannah nodded her head as she smiled down at him "Okay I'm paying though and I'm planning on waking you up at midnight tonight to wish you a happy birthday so be prepared."
Reid didn't have time to make any kind of responses to this comment since Dr. Coffman walked back into the room smiling.
"Well Dr. Reid, Miss. Prentiss it seems that your baby's due date is November 25th. Keep in mind though that this is only an estimated date. You could very well go into labor within a week or two before or after this date."
Reid couldn't help but to feel a dreamy smile spread across his face as he heard this. Their child would be born on November twenty fifth.
Hannah hadn't been lying about waking Reid up at midnight just to wish him a happy birthday. She had also insisted on making him what she had called birthday pancakes topped with tons of whipped cream, strawberries and banana slices before they had left for work this morning.
Once Reid had arrived at work he'd been bombarded by his team with Happy birthday wishes and birthday cards never mind the fact that he would be seeing them all tonight at the birthday party Hannah was insisting on throwing him.
Reid couldn't help but to bring up this particular party as Hannah and he walked hand and hand down the sidewalk that night. "You still aren't going to tell me what we're doing tonight are you?"
"Nope no chance." Hannah stated walking a little bit ahead of him so that she was practically pulling him along
They had made a quick stop to change their clothes before they had left their house for some mystery destination.
They had parked a block away from where ever she was taking him. He knew that they'd had to dress nice where ever they were going.
She had worn a nice emerald green dress and a pair of comfortable gray ballet flats and he'd worn one of his favorite suit and sweater vest combinations.
They finally arrived at a large building with a sign over it that said simply: Junes
Reid gave Hannah an unsure look as they entered a slightly dim restaurant that clearly had a dance floor in the center of it.
There was only one window in the entire place and it was a pretty huge one up front. Reid felt his cheeks flush as he realized that it gave a perfect view of the dance floor and Hannah would more than likely insist that he dance with her at least once.
They quickly joined his team and Reid wasn't surprised to hear Morgan's teasing voice as soon as Reid and Hannah sat down side by side and had a chance to look over their menus.
"So pretty boy any news on mini Reid?" Morgan stated nudging him in the shoulder.
Reid let out a sigh wondering why he'd had to be sat right beside Morgan.
Morgan had just recently named the unborn baby mini Reid and had started teasing Reid about baby geniuses as soon as he'd found out about Hannah's pregnancy.
Of course this wasn't the only thing Morgan was teasing him about. There was the fact that Reid and Hannah would be getting married late next month and would be honeymooning for at least a week.
Reid was sure he was going to pull all his hair out if he heard one more joke from Morgan and even Garcia about honeymoons and Hannah making Reid all loved out.
"We just found out the due date yesterday. He or she should be here on November twenty fifth." Reid said not helping but to give Hannah a loving smile.
She leaned over and gave Reid a soft kiss on the cheek causing a few awes from the women at the table.
Reid wasn't very surprised when Hannah was quickly bombarded with questions about baby names, nursery decorating, and even a couple of questions about the wedding from Garcia, JJ, and Emily.
Reid felt his heart begin to beat faster as he thought about all that had to be done in the next nine months.
There was a wedding to plan, an office for him to clear out so it could be turned into the baby's room, and tons of preparing for the baby to actually get here.
He wasn't sure if he could do it all and not completely mess anything up.
He let out a sigh of relief as he heard Hotch speak up apparently noticing Reid's worried look. "Don't worry Reid the real work doesn't start until your son or daughter is waking you up every hour on the hour wanting to be fed or changed or just held. You should enjoy the next nine months while you can."
Reid swallowed the lump in his throat not sure if Hotch told him that to completely freak him out or make him feel a little bit more at ease.
Reid didn't have much time to think about Hotch's statement since Hannah quickly took his hand in hers and stood up. "Come on you have to dance with me at least once before the food gets here."
"I....I can't dance though. I mean I'll probably embarrass you with how completely uncoordinated I am."Reid blurted out rather loudly causing Morgan to snicker beside him.
Hannah rolled her eyes not buying his attempts into trying to talk her out of this."Spencer everyone can dance it isn't that hard. If you end up making a fool out of yourself then I'll make a even bigger fool out myself so you wont be the only one that's embarrassed. Now come on."
Reid let her drag him out to the dance floor knowing she wasn't going to let him out of this. He was grateful when a slow song started to play over the loud speaker.
He could probably slow dance without screwing up too much and there were a lot of other couples on the dance floor so maybe no one would notice him looking really bad.
Hannah let him wrap his arms around her waist and began to slowly sway as she rested up against him thrilled that she'd talked him into doing this.
"See it's not so bad. Your doing really great." She stated leaning up and whispering into his ear.
Reid let out a sigh of relief realizing that she was right he was doing just fine. He hadn't even stepped on her toes yet. "Thanks for the book. I really do like it."
She smiled softly grateful that he liked the antique poetry book she'd gotten him. It was one of the books that he had told her his mother had read to him when he was a child.
She gave him a soft kiss on the cheek as she spoke up again still whispering. "You know it's not your only gift right? I have something else for you, but you can't have it until we get home. It's a bit too sheer for me to wear in public."
Reid widened his eyes making a quick mental note to get home as soon as possible.
-------------
Unbeknown to Reid and Hannah there was a small rented car parked out front with a very interested Tiffany Ellis sitting in the drivers seat.
Ellis felt a wave of jealously wash over her when she saw Hannah standing so close to Dr. Reid and whispering in his ear.
Ellis had done everything within her power to get his attention so far and still he was with Hannah and the damned women had gotten pregnant. Ellis couldn't help but to think bitterly that this must be some ploy to trap poor Dr. Reid.
Tiffany Ellis still couldn't understand why it couldn't be her standing in Hannah's place. She had known that Dr. Reid was the only one for her since the second she'd seen him.
She had seen him the first time at a speech he was giving at George town three years ago for the BAU.
She had been in the FBI academy then and She hadn't been able to take her eyes off the young Dr. Reid even with all of his quirks and him stumbling through his sentence.
She didn't understand how women couldn't see just how amazing this man was. She had almost approached him right after the speech, but she had been pulled away by her friend whom insisted that they go get lunch.
She had looked him up in an online search engine as soon as she'd gotten home that night. It was so easy to find out things about people on the internet.
Tiffany Ellis had waited three whole years just to have her chance with him and in Vegas she had thought that her time had finally come.
Hannah was in the way though and she still had no idea how she could get rid of the pest and have Reid all to herself. There had to be a way.
Hannah felt her cheeks flush as she ran her hands through her hair attempting to give herself a more sultry look withou completely destroying the soft curls she'd somehow managed to give herself with the curling iron.
She had managed to give her eye lids a smokey look with dark purple eyeshadow and she'd already carefully put on some sheer lipgloss.
She gave herself one last look in the bathroom mirror before she heard Reid's impatient voice. "Baby are you done in there yet."
Hannah felt her cheeks flush even darker as she spoke up. "Yeah I'm coming out but you have to promise not to laugh if I end up tripping or something."
"I promise now will you please come out already." Reid stated sounding even more impatient.
Hannah exited the master bathroom grateful to see that their bedroom lights were still dimmed. She did her best not to bite down on her bottom lip and get lipgloss on her teeth as she made the first few steps out the bathroom door.
She looked straight ahead at Reid seeing that he was already stripped down to his plaid boxers and simple white undershirt .
He was sitting up on the bed staring straight back at her unable to take his eyes off of her.
She couldn't help but to snicker a little bit realizing that even in the beginnings of spring and warmer weather Reid still piled on layers of clothing.
Hannah took a deep breath as she untied her black silk robe revealing a very sheer purple baby doll and matching thong bottoms.
She looked down at the floor praying that he liked it as much as she'd hoped he would when she bought it.
"So.....what do you think?" She finally managed to ask feeling her cheeks darken even more as she looked up at him.
Reid did the only thing he could make himself do which was reach out with his arms and speak up in a slightly deeper voice. "I think.....that you should get over here."
Reid felt his cheeks darken as she did what he said practically falling into his arms. This defiantly had to be the best birthday he'd ever had.
