Summary: Spencer Reid meets Abby Sciuto at a lecture, and things grow form there.
Notes: Some of you smart cookies know me so well, so here it is!

Reid got back to the hotel they were staying in after having a great meal with his mother. He had a bag in his hand with Abby's dinner in it. When he got through the door he was surprised when she flew into his arms in a hug and a very deep kiss. As much as he was happy for the greeting he wondered what had prompted it.

"Abby?" he asked confused.

"Your mom told me a mother knows and she was right Spencer!" she exclaimed.

"I don't think I understand."

"We're going to have to cancel our appointment Wednesday."

"What? Why?"

"Because I'm pregnant Spencer!" she squealed.

His jaw dropped. "That's amazing!"

"I know! I can't believe it but I took like four tests. We're going to have a baby. Our baby, who's going to look like us!"

"I'm so happy Abby, but what about my mother?"

"She gave me some books for the baby, and I told her it wouldn't be that easy. But she said she knew, and she was right!"

He kissed her cheek softy. "I'm so happy Abby. I didn't think I could be so excited about anything. I can't wait to tell everyone and to meet the baby."

"I know, it's going to be so amazing. Spencer we're going to have a baby!" she told him again still not fully believing that it was real.

"I can't believe it myself. I had no idea you could love something that's only an idea so much."

There were tears in her eyes. "Spencer," she whispered. "Just when I thought I couldn't love you more you go and make me into a big puddle of goo."

He ran his fingers through her hair. "We should make an appointment and find out how far along you are."

Abby smiled, loving how quickly he could change gears, no matter what the logical clinical side of him would sneak back in. She smiled and hugged him tightly, thrilled he was happy too. As much as they had talked about wanting children now that it was happening she needed to know how he felt about it. She knew he was still nervous due to his past, but she was sure he was going to be a great parent and hoped she would be able to make him see that.

"I think I'm less than eight weeks along," she told him. "I know it's considered bad luck to tell people right away, but if I start drinking decaf caf-pows people are going to wonder. I haven't done well with the whole quitting caffeine thing in the past."

"You're probably right about that. With everything that's happened I'd rather be up front with everyone. I want to be there to support you for as much of it as possible," he explained.

"I know you'll be super tuned in, and I'm beyond excited for that. What's Hotch going to do?"

He shrugged. "There's not much he can do really. He can't change anything. I barely take sick days, the only vacation I've taken was for our honeymoon. He might think I've made a mistake but I know I haven't and that's all that matters."

"Isn't it like super awkward to work with him?"

"I've gotten used to it. We were never particularly close outside of work. There's times where there's tension but I've gotten used to it, honestly."

She hugged him. "I don't know what I'd do if my family didn't support us. I just couldn't handle that at all"

"I love my job, there's no point in accepting a new one."

"Accepting?"

"Just like you I always have offers on the table. If we were different people we would have very different lives."

She laughed. "You're so right. I hope we would have found each other though."

"I do as well, but I'm not sure we would have."

She kissed his cheek softly. "I know you don't believe in that stuff."

"I don't know what I believe in, but I think we were supposed to find each other somehow."

"I think so too, and I'm happy that I have you in my life." She kissed his cheek softly. "I love you."

"I love you too Abby. I brought you some leftovers, although I feel like Indian might not be the best."

"It smells so amazing though! So far I haven't really noticed getting sick or anything. But I could totally go for some tiger tail ice cream!"

"I think there's an ice cream shop a few blocks from here."

She put the container of food into the tiny hotel fridge. "Ice cream first?"

"Yes!"

"Abby you're going to eat cold curry?"

"Umm, yeah!"

"I'm never going to get used to that."

She laughed and took his hand. They left the hotel and walked to the ice cream shop down the road. After the last time he had been home Reid was worried about running into someone he used to know again, but it didn't happen. They enjoyed their ice cream and then went back to their room. There was a small balcony where Abby enjoyed her now cold dinner. The two of them talking about how excited they were to become parents and tell the people they loved.

Notes: So that was that I hope you liked it! The only real drama left is the Hotch situation. Keep the kind words coming.
