Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds.
A/N: Shout out to Fashionista7, Astrahan, fishtrek, southernbeauty13, Daisyangel, and criminalmindsrocks for reviewing chapter 19.
Daisyangel: I'm sorry to say, I'm not going to write a flashback that deals with JJ apologizing.
Aside from admitting that writer's block sucks, there are now three cases of the coronavirus in the county I live in while there are over 3,000 positive cases and 130 deaths in my state.
This chapter starts two hours after the last chapter and even though I'm not going to include the visit from each teammate, I'm not responsible for paying for the emergency dental appointments to get cavities filled during times like this. I had to reschedule my cleaning that was supposed to happen on the 14th because of the coronavirus since my dentist is only doing emergency appointments right now.
Spencer and Maeve had just finished eating lunch and Violet and Arthur had been fed, burped, and were wearing clean diapers when Diana entered her daughter-in-law's hospital room and smiled at the sight of her son holding her grandchildren at the same time.
"Over 25 and a half years after I held my baby for the first time, I finally get to see my own baby holding his own babies," said Diana.
Spencer blushed a bit as he smiled at his mother who was standing with his uncle Gordon and Maeve's parents, "I'm glad that you were able to fly out here to hold your grandchildren."
"Finding out that my grandchildren were about to be born will get me on a plane as soon as I was allowed to fly out here," said Diana as she thought about how helpful her sister was, "Your Aunt Erin flew out to Las Vegas on the jet you took me home on nearly a year ago to collect your uncle Gordon, Aunt Ethel, and me out here so I wouldn't have to fly commercially."
Uncle Gordon looked at his nephew, "I sedated your mother for the flight. Your Aunt Ethel decided that she'll wait with meeting Violet and Arthur until Maeve and the twins are released from here since she's working on cleaning your house right now."
Spencer nodded, "How long are you two and Aunt Ethel out here for?" asked Spencer.
Diana smiled, "We're out here for the next two weeks."
"Are you sure that you want to stay out here for two weeks?" asked Spencer.
"Due to Mother's Day being nine days away, my sister made arrangements for me to stay in the inpatient psych ward here for the two weeks," said Diana.
Spencer smiled as he realized that he'll need to do some shopping to get gifts for Maeve, his mother, Aunt Ethel, and Chief Strauss, "I'm glad that you want to stay out here for two weeks, mom."
Uncle Gordon nodded as he looked at his niece-in-law, "And Ethel and I want to stay in one of your guest bedrooms so we can help your parents around the house while you and Spencer bond with Violet and Arthur and sleep when the twins are sleeping."
Maeve smiled, "Your help will be appreciated."
Spencer looked down at Violet and Arthur who were both awake and staring at him, "Did you two have a nice nap in my arms? Your grandma Diana, your great-uncle Gordon, and your great-aunt Ethel came here from my hometown Las Vegas, Nevada to meet you two."
Diana looked at her son, "May I please see them now?"
"Please sit down, mom," said Spencer.
After Diana sat down, Spencer gently placed Violet into his mother's arms, "Mom, I want you to meet your granddaughter Violet Guinevere Reid," said Spencer before he placed Arthur in his father-in-law's arms, "Joe, I want you to meet your grandson Arthur Nathaniel Reid."
Joe smiled, "Arthur is beautiful."
Diana looked at her granddaughter, "Even though Violet looks like Maeve, she has your curls and eyes."
"Violet and Arthur currently have baby blue eyes, mom," said Spencer.
"I know, but as a mother, I know that Violet and Arthur will both be having your beautiful brown eyes that have specks of gold in them," said Diana before looking at Arthur who was being held by Maeve's father, "Can we please switch twins?" asked Diana.
"Sure," said Joe as he handed Arthur to his nephew before he took Violet from Diana and looked down at his granddaughter, "Violet is so beautiful like you were on the day you were born, Maeve."
"I know, dad," said Maeve.
Spencer placed Arthur in his mother's arms, "Mom, I want you to meet your grandson Arthur Nathaniel Reid."
Diana teared up as she looked studied her grandson who was also studying her before she looked at her son, "Arthur looked so much like you did when you were born, Spencer."
"I know, mom," said Spencer.
At that moment Violet started to cry causing Spencer to take his daughter from his father-in-law causing Violet to stop crying when she realized that she was in her daddy's arms, "Did daddy's precious flower cry because of wanting her daddy?" asked Spencer.
Violet let out a few coos as she took hold of her daddy's finger.
Diana smiled at her son, "Seems like Violet's already a daddy's girl."
Maeve nodded, "I just love the nickname Spencer came up with for Violet."
"I was hoping that Violet would be a grandpa's girl," said Joe.
Spencer smiled at his father-in-law, "When I go back to work, I can imagine Violet wanting your comfort."
"I hope so, son," said Joe.
Diana looked at her son, "With seeing you being able to comfort your daughter instantly, I don't think that you need to worry about fatherhood," said Diana before Arthur started to cry causing her to slowly stand up and passed her grandson to her daughter-in-law causing Arthur to stop crying instantly as she looked at Maeve, "And I believe that Arthur's already a Mama's boy like Spencer is."
Maeve nodded as she ran a gentle finger along her son's cheek, "I don't think that I would mind raising a Mama's boy."
A few minutes later uncle Gordon was taking a picture of Spencer, Maeve, Violet, Arthur, and Diana together and then a picture of Spencer, Maeve, Violet, Arthur, and Maeve's parents together before he, his sister, and Maeve's parents left the hospital so Spencer and Maeve can get some rest while he helped with cleaning the Reid-Donovan family home while Diana went to get some rest at the ward she was staying in for the next two weeks.
Later on that evening Spencer and Maeve had just finished eating dinner when Chief Strauss entered Maeve's hospital room with two bags.
Spencer smiled at his aunt, "Hello, Aunt Erin."
Chief Strauss smiled at the sight of her nephew holding Violet and Arthur at the same time, "I see that the sparkle that's been lacking in your eyes before the Hankel case has returned today."
Spencer smiled, "Maeve said the same thing."
"Where are Sarah, Molly, and Tyler?" asked Maeve.
"They decided to wait with meeting Violet and Arthur until we get together for dinner on Mother's Day since you two deserve to bond with Violet and Arthur for a week," said Chief Strauss before looking at her great-niece and great-nephew who were both sharing a bassinet at the moment, "May I?" asked Chief Strauss.
Spencer smiled as he reached down and gently removed Violet from the bassinet, "Please sit down and I'll hand you your great-niece and great-nephew."
Chief Strauss sat down while Spencer gently passed her Violet, "When I talked to your mother about meeting Violet and Arthur earlier, your mother is right that pictures do not do justice. Violet is very beautiful."
"Thank you for convincing my mom to stay out here for two weeks," said Spencer.
"I wanted your mother out here for her first Mother's Day as a grandma, so your mother agreed to stay out here for a few weeks," said Chief Strauss.
"Want to hold Arthur now?" asked Spencer.
Chief Strauss nodded, "Yes please."
A few seconds later Spencer was taking Violet from his aunt and passed her to Maeve before he gently lifted Arthur and placed him in his aunt's arms, "Now this is Arthur."
Chief Strauss started to tear up a bit as she took in the sight of her great-nephew, "Arthur looks just like you did on the day you were born, Spencer."
Spencer who had Violet back in his arms smiled, "Mom said the same thing earlier this afternoon."
"Is Violet already a daddy's girl?" asked Chief Strauss.
"She loves having skin to skin contact with Spencer," said Maeve.
Spencer nodded as his ear-length curls bounced, "She'll cry if she's not in my arms, so I can imagine that I'll have to spend the next month recording myself reading books and make sure that she has something with my scent to calm her down when paternity leave ends," said Spencer before yawning.
Chief Strauss stood up as she gently placed Arthur into the bassinet, "I'll get going so you two can have some rest before more visitors come tomorrow," said Chief Strauss before giving her nephew and niece-in-law each a gentle hug before leaving the room.
The next day after eating breakfast with Maeve, Spencer was holding Violet while Maeve was holding Arthur when there was a knock on Maeve's hospital room door.
"Is there room for three more people?" asked Garcia.
Maeve smiled at Garcia, JJ, and Emily, "Please come on in. Violet and Arthur have just been fed, burped, and given clean diapers five minutes ago."
A few seconds later Garcia, JJ, and Emily were gathered around Spencer and Maeve.
"If you two know what's good for you, please let us take turns holding the wonder twins," said Garcia.
"I take it that you want to be the first one to hold Violet?" asked Spencer.
"Yes," said Garcia.
Spencer reluctantly handed Violet over to Garcia while Emily took Arthur from Maeve before Spencer sat down next to Maeve on Maeve's hospital bed.
Garcia smiled down at Violet in her arms, "You're going to be giving your daddy a run for his money."
"Just look at her hair," said Spencer.
Garcia gently removed Violet's violet color knitted hat and gushed at the sight of Violet's curly red hair, "Oh my goodness her hair looks so much prettier in person."
"I'm happy that Violet looks like Maeve even though Violet has my curls and my mom and Maeve believe that Violet will have my eyes too," said Spencer.
"Then Violet will be giving you a run for your money if she masters the puppy-dog eye look like you do," said Emily before looking at Garcia, "Please switch with me."
Garcia gently switched twins with Emily and looked at Arthur, "You look like your daddy, Arthur."
"He has my curls too," said Spencer.
"Since Violet and Arthur were born on "Star Wars" Day yesterday, are you two going to be doing a "Star Wars" theme for Halloween?" asked Garcia.
Spencer grinned, "Maeve and I already agreed to dress Violet and Arthur up as Luke and Leia for Halloween."
"Their costumes are going to be so adorable," gushed Garcia before she looked at JJ, "Do you want to hold Violet and Arthur now?" asked Garcia.
JJ nodded as she looked at Spencer and Maeve, "May I?" asked JJ.
"Go ahead and hold them," said Maeve.
A few seconds later JJ was holding Violet and Arthur at the same time wondering if she would be eventually be having a child of her own with Will and looked at Maeve, "How did it feel to give birth?" asked JJ.
Maeve looked at JJ, Emily, and Garcia, "I'm not going to tell you ladies since I don't want to scare any of you three from having kids of your own someday."
"Did you accept drugs?" asked Garcia.
Maeve shook her head, "I went through a natural birth without an epidural or pain medication because of what happened to Spence three months ago, but as soon as Violet was born I forgot about how much pain I was in from being in labor."
At that moment Violet started to cry causing Spencer to gently remove Violet from JJ's arms and smiled down at his daughter who instantly quieted down, "Was daddy's precious flower wanting to be held by daddy again?" asked Spencer.
Violet cooed at her father.
Spencer softly chuckled, "I take that as a yes, flower."
"This is one of the most cutest moments I have ever seen," gushed Garcia as she quickly took a photo of Spencer looking down at Violet with a look of love on his face with her camera, "I might have to use the photograph I just took to give me something adorable to look at after seeing gruesome pictures."
"If that photo turns out good, please send me a copy," said Maeve.
"I will," said Garcia.
Emily looked between JJ and Garcia, "We should probably get going so Reid and Maeve can have some rest before the next visitor shows up."
A minute later Emily, JJ, and Garcia left Maeve's hospital room.
An hour later Spencer just got off the phone with Ethan when Elle walked into the room and smiled at them, "How are you feeling Maeve?" asked Elle.
Maeve smiled, "Even though all the pain I went through to have two beautiful babies with Spencer at once was worth it, I'm glad that I'm no longer pregnant until Spencer and I are ready for the next baby or two."
Elle looked at Maeve's foot that still had a now smaller walking boot on, "How's your Achilles now?" asked Elle.
"Swelling has gone quite a bit since giving birth yesterday, but I still have two to four more weeks in the cast while I go to physical therapy," said Maeve.
Spencer heard Violet whimpering causing him to quickly get up and gently removed Violet from the bassinet, "What does daddy's precious flower need?" asked Spencer as thought about Violet eating a half-hour ago while her diaper was dry as his baby girl started to stop whimpering, "You just ate and your diaper is clean and dry, so I take it that you only wanted daddy."
Violet let out a few coos.
Elle laughed, "Violet's already over a day old and she's an extreme daddy's girl."
Spencer smiled, "I always wondered if I would have a daughter who would have me wrapped around her little finger."
"And Violet seems to love it that Spencer is calling her daddy's precious flower," said Maeve.
"It is an adorable nickname," said Elle before looking at the bassinet that held Arthur, "May I please hold my godson?" asked Elle.
"Go ahead," said Maeve.
Elle gently scooped up Arthur from the hospital provided bassinet, "Arthur looks like you, Reid."
"My mom and Maeve are both pleased about their son or grandson looking like me," said Spencer.
Maeve looked at Elle who was looking at Arthur with a wistful look on her face, "Have you ever thought about finding someone to eventually have children of your own with?" asked Maeve.
Elle blushed a bit, "I recently started dating my new neighbor and he has two nieces and a nephew."
Spencer smiled, "That's great."
Elle smiled down at her godson, "Even though your daddy knows some Spanish since he spent nine years in Pasadena and his accent is horrible, I'll make sure to help you and your twin sister are fluent in Spanish."
Spencer smiled, "Between you, Emily, and me the twins will be fluent in a few languages before they start the first grade."
"Do you mind that?" asked Elle.
"Not at all," said Spencer.
"Let's switch twins so I can let you and Maeve continue bonding with Violet and Arthur before the next visitor comes," said Elle before she switched twins with Spencer and looked at Violet, "As soon as you're big enough, I'll make sure to teach you hand to hand combat to put your protective father at ease."
Spencer smiled, "That will be great, Elle."
"Even though I was named Arthur's godmother, I'll make sure to treat Violet equally," said Elle before looking at her watch as she handed Violet to Maeve, "I should probably get going so I can meet my neighbor for our lunch-date since it's our two-month anniversary today."
"Good luck," said Maeve.
Spencer handed Arthur to his wife as he left his wife's hospital room with Elle, "I hope you don't have any plans for next week Sunday because I'm going to give you my credit card to have a spa day and go on a shopping spree with Maeve and my mother-in-law for Mother's Day."
"Why would I join your wife and mother-in-law?" asked Elle.
"To thank you for helping with taking care of Maeve and housework while you temporarily lived with us while you helped me after Hankel," said Spencer.
Elle smiled, "You've become a little brother to me, so I'll always be there when you need me."
Two hours later Spencer grinned when Hotch entered Maeve's hospital room with an 18-month-old Jack, "Hello, Hotch. Hello, Jack," said Spencer.
Hotch smiled as he thought about being happy at seeing Spencer's eyes sparkling in a way he has never seen them, "Is Violet ready to meet her future husband?" asked Hotch.
Spencer glared at Hotch, "My precious flower isn't allowed to start dating anyone until she turns 30."
Jack pointed at Violet who was in Spencer's arms and Arthur who was in Maeve's arms, "Abies."
Maeve patted her bed, "Please come join me, Jack."
A few seconds later Jack was sitting up next to Maeve in bed when Maeve smiled at Jack, "Jack, I want you to meet Arthur."
Jack looked at Arthur, "Hi, I Ack."
Spencer held up Violet for Jack to see, "And this is Violet."
Jack grinned at Violet, "Hi, I Ack."
Hotch looked at Spencer, "How does it feel to finally become a father?" asked Hotch.
"Getting to watch Violet and Arthur be born was one of the most wonderful experiences in my life. After yesterday morning, I have a new respect for Maeve since she delivered two babies naturally without any pain medication," said Spencer.
"Even though I'm still a bit sore, at least the pain went away as soon as Violet was delivered," said Maeve.
Hotch gestured to Violet and Arthur, "May I please hold them?" asked Hotch.
Spencer reluctantly placed Violet in Hotch's arms before he took his son from Maeve.
Hotch smiled down at his goddaughter, "Hello, Violet. I'm your godfather Aaron. Even though your father sent me a lot of pictures yesterday, you're more beautiful in person. If you didn't already have curly red hair, I would have made a comeback comment that dealt with the comment your father made on your future husband being born bald."
Violet looked up at her godfather with wide eyes as she let out a few coos before she decided that she wanted her daddy causing her to start crying.
"We should probably switch twins since Violet must be summoning me," said Spencer as he gently switched twins with Hotch causing Violet to stop crying, "I was right that daddy's precious flower wanted her daddy."
Violet let out a few coos.
"Seems like Violet is already a daddy's girl," said Hotch.
Spencer nodded as he unbuttoned one more button of his dress shirt and cradled Violet close to his chest so Violet could have some skin to skin contact with him, "She had me wrapped around her little finger when she was an hour old while she prefers to have skin to skin contact when I'm holding her."
"Jack was like that with Haley," said Hotch as he looked down at Arthur, "You look like your father."
Maeve looked at Hotch, "Where's Haley?" asked Maeve.
Hotch sighed as he looked at Maeve, "After dropping you and Spencer off here, I went home to find Haley in bed with another man."
"Sleeping or doing what created Violet, Arthur, and Jack?" asked Maeve. "The second one," said Hotch before closing his eyes and opened them up and looked at Maeve, "I should have believed you when you told me about your suspicions on Haley cheating on me four weeks ago since Haley was denying on cheating on me by claiming that she was setting up a play date for Jack," said Hotch before looking at Spencer, "Even though I don't have an eidetic memory like you, Spencer, I don't think that I'll ever forget what I witnessed since I still deal with nightmares about watching you being tortured by Hankel."
"Where did you stay last night?" asked Spencer.
"I ended up staying at a hotel last night and I told Haley that we will be talking after lunch today," said Hotch before looking between Spencer and Maeve, "Can you two please keep what's going on in my life a secret? I don't know if Haley will agree to stop cheating on me and spend the next few months fixing our marriage by going to marriage counseling or we'll be filing for divorce."
"Since I was able to keep Maeve a secret for three months, I shouldn't have a problem keeping your secret until you're ready to tell everyone," said Spencer.
Maeve nodded, "I'll be stuck at home sleeping or developing a routine with Violet and Arthur for the next month."
At that moment Jack's stomach growled causing Jack to lift his t-shirt, "No no."
Hotch chuckled as he stood up and passed Arthur back to Maeve, "Jack and I should probably go get some lunch before I take him over to my sister-in-law so Haley and I can talk."
Spencer smiled, "Hopefully everything goes OK and thank you for visiting."
"Who has yet to visit?" asked Hotch.
"Elle, Morgan, and Gideon," said Maeve.
"Then you two focus on getting rest before more visitors come," said Hotch before looking at Spencer, "After Violet and Arthur are released, please make sure to sleep while Violet and Arthur are sleeping during the day and don't come to the B.A.U. until it's your first day back at work."
"I promise not to come in unless I want to take Violet and Arthur on their first visit to the B.A.U.," said Spencer.
"Now that's a visit I can tolerate after you've been on leave for a few weeks," said Hotch before scooping up his son, "Let's go get something to eat, buddy."
Jack grinned and waved at Spencer and Maeve, "Bye-bye."
"Goodbye, Jack," said Spencer.
"Goodbye, Jack," said Maeve.
A minute later Hotch was leaving Maeve's hospital room with Jack so Maeve could get some rest while Spencer chose to read one of the books from his messenger bag while knowing that Gideon and Morgan had yet to stop by.
Two days later Spencer was driving Maeve, Violet, and Arthur home from the hospital.
A/N: I'm sorry that I didn't write the scenes of Morgan and Gideon visiting them in the hospital, but writer's block kept me from writing the scenes of them visiting.
