(Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds or it's characters.)

You may of noticed that this story is one chapter away from 30! And with a new story on the way I was going to get to the big 3 0 and then have a short break (and by short I mean like a week or two), because two stories at once is super hard to keep up. I'll be finishing up my other story pretty soon and that gives me time to write and publish my new one.

I'm not gonna give away anything about the new fic, but like I said I will publish it soon and it will be called "Trapped in Time", and I'm really excited to write it.

Anyway, you didn't come for that, you came for chapter 29 and I won't keep you waiting any longer. Here it is!


"I'm pregnant"

Spencer gaped at her and then her stomach and then the smirks written on the team's faces. Eva was also frowning being in the same boat as her father.

"That's...AMAZING!", he gasped and he reached his arms out to Maeve, who rolled her eyes and shuffled over to him, with Georgy still sleeping in her arms. When he finally released her he narrowed his eyes at the team. "How did you all know?" He jibbed, raising his eyebrows and crossing his arms in a typical Hotch stance, which he couldn't pull of very well due to the wide smile smackering his lips.

"She's not too good at hiding it. We found out yesterday in the waiting room", JJ explained.

"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?" Spencer pouted, giving her his best sad, brown, puppy dog eyes.

"Because you forgot who I was yesterday", Maeve laughed and Reid's frown furrowed.

"I..I didn't, did I?" Everyone nodded and Spencer shook his head; next time he was that high he should just stay asleep. "How long have you known?" He rambled on, trying to change the subject from his practically drunken display the previous day.

"Literally a couple of days. Then you had a case, and I was going to tell you yesterday when I got back from work, but that got screwed up", she covered her mouth after saying 'screwed' eyeing Eva to see if she heard. She had apparently not, because she was busy colouring again. Hotch, JJ and Morgan smiled at the basic parent reaction Maeve had.

"Talking of, why don't you ladies grab some coffee with the kids", Rossi suggested, smiling broadly. The girls raised their eyebrows but didn't argue.

"But I wanna stay", moaned Eva, as she was dragged off the bed by Garcia. Alex and Emily stayed.

"We have an update on the men who crashed into you. And don't look so nervous, it's good news", grinned Rossi, winking at Spencer, who let out a half smile.

"Luckily two cars had dashcams and caught the majority of the accident, proving that the driver of the other car was speeding and overtaking in your lane", Hotch announced seriously. They gazed at him impressed.

"So what's happening with them?" Morgan pushed.

"The driver has been given quite a hefty fine, which will cover most of the damage and compensation. Apparently his father has a pretty big wallet", sighed Rossi. "Talking of his father, he's trying to get him off with just the fine, hired a top lawyer and everything".

"And?" Emily implored him to continue. Hotch cleared his throat.

"Well, the driver should be facing a maximum of 2 years in prison for causing serious injury and negligence. But like Rossi said, his father is determined to drop those charges. I talked to a few people to make sure he didn't get off. Right now, it looks like he'll go away for 16 months, as well as 8 points taken off his licence and a 3 year driving ban", Hotch smirked proudly.

"That's very specific, Hotch. Are you sure you only "talked to a few people", because I have a feeling you did more", Reid questioned with narrowed eyes.

"If you ask me he is getting off light. He was completely negligent, and he could have killed you or Georgy or Eva", chided Morgan, unhappily. He could've killed the scum who hurt Spencer.

"At least it's something", simpered Emily.

"As long as I don't ever have to see him", grumbled Morgan angrily.

"His passenger wasn't too happy. Kicked up a hell of a fuss at the station, they were close to locking him in a cell as well", Rossi shook his head, he would never understand young people. A nurse walked in and the conversation ended.

"Sorry, I'll come back later if..."

"No, it's fine", smiled Rossi, eyeing the middle aged nurse, her firey red hair bouncing on her shoulders. He raised his eyebrows when he got a glimpse of the back view.

She lifted Spencer's chart, her eyes caught the morphine drip and she tutted.

"I wish you would stop putting that so low", she sighed.

"And I wish you'd stop putting it so high", Reid shot back, gaining him a smile.

"Well you won't have to worry about it much longer, we will release you in the morning"

"How about tonight?" Spencer compromised. Morgan kissed his teeth.

"Nu-uh pretty boy, you will stay until they let you leave", he insisted, causing Reid to stick his bottom lip out and pout.

"Well, if you think you're ready to go home, I guess you can discharge yourself, but I recommend you stay another night", the nurse rolled her eyes at the youngster's stubbornness.

"I'd leave now if I could", Reid muttered.

"Ain't happening Reid", Morgan hissed.

"I'm going tonight, Derek, you can't stop me", teased Spencer, sticking his tongue out at the older agent.


Spencer's wish came true. Though it took a lot of convincing; he finally persuaded Maeve to let him discharge himself that night. The team made flying visits throughout the day, and when 5pm rolled up Spencer was already trying to pull himself out of bed.

"Hold up, boy genius. Do you really want to leave in that?" Garcia motioned to the hospital gown and Spencer grimaced. "I thought not. Here, Maeve let me pick you an outfit", Spencer looked up at Maeve in disbelief and she shrugged.

"She's got quite the fashion sense", Maeve defended, pulling out the things Penelope had packed.

"I don't think I've ever seen you not in a shirt", Garcia pondered, revealing a long sleeved, light blue shirt covered in tiny navy leaves.

"Well thank you for not changing that streak", he praised, taking the shirt.

"Oh and I have seen you out of trousers, remember our fit test?", they both shivered at the memory. "And with your leg and everything", she pulled out a pair of navy 3/4 length shorts.

"Really? It's December Garcia"

"Maybe you should think about that next time before you break your leg", she laughed. "I also got you a sock, only one because well...your other foots a little off limits." She flicked a stripy green sock at him and a pair of his boxers. Reid gathered up his clothes his cheeks burning red. He held them close to him and glanced from women to women.

"What?" Maeve frowned and Spencer pulled the shirt close to him, raising his eyebrows and tilting his head.

"Little bit of privacy, if you please", he said, in a strangled high pitch voice, which made Garcia laugh and Georgy giggle.

"Fine", smiled Maeve turning her back and covering Georgy's eyes, Garcia did the same and Eva was flat out on the chair.

After a few minutes they heard grunting.

"Need any help?" Garcia sang sweetly.

"Nope, I'm...just...ah...getting...this over...my dang..." he heaved up the shorts and grinned when they slid over his cast. He grimaced at the thick bandages wrapped around his thighs that the shorts only just managed to cover. Lucky for him the cast covered his burns.

"Done!" He called. Garcia turned and beamed. She then jumped up and pulled out a wheelchair she had hidden.

"Really? I can use the crutchs"

"Hospital rules, boy wonder. Sit!" Reid struggled into the chair and huffed as his wife, kids and friend pushed him through the corridor.


Sorry it's not very exciting, but after that chapter the other day, I don't think it can get much more exciting anytime soon.

Once again your reviews are much appreciated.

Thank you to tannerrose5, ahowell1993 and Kt who reviewed my last chapter.

Kt- I don't know where this is going, it seems to be taking on a life of its own, just know that its not going to end anytime soon. Thanks again for your review, much appreciated.

And to answer your suspicions tannerrose5, there will be more story connected to the boy racers that crashed into Spencer, but they weren't out to kill him.

Roll on chapter 30!
