Chapter 2: Telling the Team

"Spence, we are going to have to eventually tell them." Emily said as she started to get ready for the day. Emily had an appointment today and wanted Spencer to be there with her for this one. The team was going to eventually put two and two together when they realized that Spencer was asking for time off every time she was at an appointment.

"You can show them the pictures today if we get one. You are going for an ultrasound, right?" He asked hoping that's what they were going for. He told her that he would be there for her no matter what. He noticed that she was standing in front of the looking at the noticeable changes.

"Are we going to keep them guessing about who this baby is for?" She asked with a mischievous grin. He laughed at the idea. The figured that they didn't have to say anything about them being together because neither supervised the other.

"I think we can have fun with this." He laughed as he put his coat on and went to grab Emily's to put on her. She noticed that her clothes were already starting to feel a little tight. Even though this was her first child she didn't think she would be showing as much as she did.

"That we can." She replied as they made their way out of the door. This reminded her of all of the times that Morgan tried to pry into her personal life and was unsuccessful. "How long do you think we can keep this up though?" She asked him as they left.

"Honestly, I have no idea." Reid answered truthfully. Reid noticed that she was thinking about something because she got really quiet all of a sudden. She was deep in thought about where they were going to raise their little one. She thought about getting a house for them in the area.

Half an hour later, they were in the waiting room at the doctor's office. To Emily the wait felt like agonizingly long. A lot was going through her mind. This was the appointment where they would get a first glimpse at the child that she and Spencer created. She was still in awe that this little being was a combination of both her and Reid. She as just as worried as she was excited though. Reid sensed this and held her hand to comfort her.

"Emily Prentiss" A woman called out getting their attention. She motioned for them to follow her. She and Reid followed the woman to a room in the back. Last time she came they told her that they needed to dee her again to double check something, and this had Emily worried for weeks.

"Spence, I'm worried something may be wrong." He stood by her side and held her hand reassuring her that he won't be going anywhere. She had told him about the first scan and how they looked concerned. He told her they will get through whatever fate brings them. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Emily was too deep in her own thoughts to even hear what the tech was even saying.

"If you can lift up your shirt and unbutton your pants for me, we can get this scan started." The tech stated as she began prepping for the procedure. Emily did as she was told and lifted up her shirt and unbuttoned her pants so that they could start the scan. The tech started the procedure and for the first few minutes looked at the screen intently without saying anything. Emily started fearing that they were about get bad news and squeezed Spencer's hand.

"Is everything okay?" Emily asked getting the techs attention. The tech nodded causing her to sigh in relief, and also loosen her grip on Reid's hand.

"Would you like to see?" The tech asked as she turned the screen towards them. Both of them looked at the screen. She moved the wand to show them. "I thought I saw something last time and my suspicions are correct." The woman said happily as she moved the wand again.

"Suspicions?" Emily asked curious as to what the tech mean by that. The woman pointed to the screen and began to explain what she found.

"Last scan I thought I heard two heartbeats, but sometimes that's not always accurate. So the later scan was necessary." She explained as she pointed at the screen. "This is baby A and over here is baby B" She added as she moved the wand showing her both babies.

"There's two?" Emily asked just to make sure she heard that correctly. Reid was still in shock too. The tech nodded and smiled at the two of them. She also informed that they could either be identical or fraternal at this point.

"That is what we call twins. This happens when…" Spencer was about to go on about the different types of twins before she cut him off.

"Spence, we have two little geniuses" Emily pulled him down to her for a kiss. The tech asked them if they would like to have a print of today's scan. Both of them nodded excitedly. "I guess I am telling them today. I'm not going to be able to hide this for much longer." She indicated pointing to bump which was slightly starting to show.

After they left the doctors, they stopped at a little café to get breakfast before heading in. Neither of them could contain their excitement. It was taking everything in them to keep up with their plan to keep their relationship hidden from prying coworkers. While enjoying their breakfast they were placing bets on who would put two and two together first.

"Who do you think is going to figure it out first?" He laughed as he took another sip of coffee. It wasn't that they were truly hiding their relationship from the team, but they weren't making it super obvious.

"Rossi" Emily said knowing he pays attention to everyone more than what they think. Reid couldn't disagree with that. If he already knew about them he sure wasn't letting on or telling others.

"Garcia!" Reid said causing Emily to laugh. There's not a thing that she cannot find information on. They weren't married yet, but Spencer did propose to Emily. She wears the ring on a chain around her neck as of now in fear of her ring getting stuck on her finger. They figured it's easier to keep the ring as is instead of altering the size.

"There is nothing that woman won't look up." Emily reminded him that she could look up purchases and medical info. They were hoping that she didn't pry into everyone's personal lives like that on the team.

An hour later…

Emily and Spencer made sure to show up within a few minutes of one another. They didn't want anyone to get suspicious. They were starting to head to the meeting room when Reid walked in. He quickly took a seat at the table between Emily and Morgan.

"Is she okay?" Morgan asked Reid quietly nodding towards Prentiss. Reid shrugged not knowing why he was asking. He knew that they were close and thought she may have told Reid something. After they finished going over the case Hotch told they that they were taking off in half an hour.

Once they were in the air. Hotch started going over what everyone would be doing. Spencer told her to speak up before she got sent out into harm's way. He didn't want her putting herself and their children at risk.

"Before we go over the plan, I thought I'd fill you all in on something." Emily spoke up before the tasks were divided. She pulled the prints from the scan out and put them on the table that everyone was gathered around. "Turns out I wasn't sick" She added and everyone just stared at her shocked.

"Who's the lucky man?" Morgan asked getting a glare from Prentiss.

"None of your business." She replied with a laugh when she saw his expression. Reid started laughing causing him to pretend to be hurt.

"Is that two?" Reid asked pointing at the photos. Emily nodded and tried hard not to laugh at her lover.

"Oh yeah its twins by the way." She added and explained to Hotch that she may not be able to go out in harm's way during cases. "They will arrive late June or early July." She stated before anyone could ask more questions.

"I'm sure JJ wouldn't mind the company." Hotch told her that she would be interrogating talking to the victims, and their families from this point on. Morgan was disappointed that she wouldn't be out in the field with them for a bit. Emily was damned good at her job and she would be missed when they went on assignments during cases.

"I guess it's me and you kid." Morgan told Reid after Hotch told everyone where they would be going. Everyone congratulated Emily and unknowingly Spencer too. After everyone settled down for the flight Rossi made his way over to the table where Emily and Reid were playing cards.

"Excited?" He asked causing her to look up from the game of poker. This gave Reid the perfect opportunity to work his magic so that the cards were in his favor.

"Very" Emily answered genuinely. "It has been a dream of mine to be a mom. I know you all think differently, but I'm happy." She went on about how she never thought this day would come for her. She went back to playing cards and wasn't really surprised that Reid had won.

"I swear he cheats!" Morgan laughed knowing for a fact that Reid takes advantage of people being distracted. This caused everyone to laugh.

"When your kids are old enough, I can show them some magic tricks and how to win at cards." He asked Emily causing her to genuinely laugh. She picked him for a reason and his lovable personality was many of the reasons that she loved Spencer Reid.
