Chapter 3: Halfway There

Emily was sitting at her desk hoping that she didn't have to get up anytime soon. Reid came back to the bullpen and placed a glass of water on her desk. She looked up at the mug of coffee that he was currently drinking. She had already had her small mug of decaf which she didn't even drink that often. When it came to the safety of their children, she did everything that she could to make sure they were healthy.

"You suck!" She said looking at his large mug of coffee. Reid looked down at his mug of coffee and realized the reason for her sudden outburst. He motioned to her now visible bump to remind her that they were worth not having coffee.

"Your children thank you for it." Reid reminded her. She cut him off before he could go on about the negative effects of caffeine on pregnancy. Before Reid could ask of she was okay she grabbed his hand and placed it where she felt it.

"Is that?" He grinned as he felt one of his children move. She nodded excitedly. What they didn't realize is that someone had seen this and made their presence known. Fortunately for them it was just Hotch.

"Amazing feeling isn't it?" He asked an excited Emily. She asked him if he was excited when he felt Jack moving around for the first time.

"It really is." She responded before composing herself. "Feeling them move makes me realize that this is actually happening." She added. Reid was still staring at her in awe. Hotch looked at him and shook his head. He thought nothing of it because Reid was being Reid. He also knew that he and Prentiss were very close.

"For being the size of banana these two are strong." Prentiss and Hotch looked up and couldn't help but chuckle. Emily struggled to get up to follow everyone to the conference room.

"You mean two bananas, Genius." She quipped as she made her way to the conference room. Reid followed behind her. He held the door for her and pulled out her chair for her before sitting down himself. This cause Morgan to give Reid a strange look.

Garcia finished presenting the case to them. Emily took advantage of that and ran for the nearest restroom. They had a little bit of time before the flight would be taking off. Hotch was worried about Emily flying with them on cases now. Reid had the same concern too, but the doctor had given her the okay to go until a certain point.

They had successfully finished another case and made it back home. Once back at the office they said their goodbyes and parted ways. JJ approached Emily and asked how things were going. JJ was another one of the few people that she didn't mind sharing a few things with.

"Did you find out what they are yet?" A curious JJ asked. Prentiss shook her head and explained that her and the father wanted it to be a surprise.

"Their father and I wanted it to be a surprise." Emily admitted wondering what they were herself. Spencer walked up asking if they needed him to walk them out of the building. Both women nodded.

"When will we get to meet the lucky man, who stole Agent Prentiss' heart?" JJ asked jokingly. Emily chuckled at the fact that they were curious. She wasn't annoyed though she knew JJ wasn't one to really gossip.

"I've met him before." Reid replied making Emily do everything that she could to hold back a laugh. Emily played it off by catching her breath. "He's a really nice guy." He added confusing JJ even more. How did Reid get to meet Emily's mystery man and everyone else hasn't?

"I guess you will meet him when these little ones make their entrance." She explained that his work schedule wasn't the best hoping JJ would buy it.

"Speaking of little ones how is my godchild?" Reid asked causing JJ to smile. She pulled out her phone to show them the current pictures of a four-month-old Henry. Reid looked through them all happily. He couldn't wait for Henry and his little ones to get close one day.

"He's such a good baby and Will is the best." She went on about how he tells her to relax sometimes and get some well-deserved rest. Emily was getting emotional hearing about all of this.

"Maybe once these little ones are here, they can all be close." Emily admitted that she was looking forward to weekends spent with her family. JJ knew that Emily had wanted kids and was excited that her friend was finally getting her wish.

"I'd like that." JJ replied as she made her way to her vehicle. They wished her a good evening before making their way to their vehicle. Spencer offered to drive but Emily wouldn't let him. She wanted to drive while she was still able to.

Once they got back, they put their weapons on the table and continued getting ready for bed. They were excited with their new home that they had bought together. They made their way to the bedroom and went to sleep not long after getting home.

The Next Day…

Emily work up to find that she was the only one in bed. She got up and walked out of the room to go find Spencer.

"Spense" She called out but did not get an answer. She thought that maybe he was in the kitchen and made her way there. The kitchen was empty too but there was a hot plate of breakfast on the table for her.

Little did she know that he was working on the nursery and was going to surprise her when it was finished. He was trying to keep her distracted. He had already gotten an idea of the colors that she had in mind. She wanted it to be something neutral since they weren't going to find out the gender of their babies until they were born.

"I'm right here, Em." He called out from the living room as he hurried into the kitchen so she would stay there. He saw that she was eating the breakfast that he had made.

"I see you found breakfast." He chuckled as he sat down and joined her. She nodded and continued emptying her plate. "There's more." He stated as he took another bite himself. She pretended to look hurt by his comment as she got up to fix herself more.

"Thank you" She replied before tearing into her second plate. She looked at him and shrugged. "What?! I'm eating for three." She laughed. After enjoying breakfast, they sat down and watched a movie. He asked her if she would be okay down here for a little while. She nodded and asked him to get her a glass of water before leaving the room.

While she was watching TV Spencer snuck back into one of the extra bedrooms to finish the nursery. Once Emily had gone to sleep the night before he got up and got to work. The paint was pretty much dried from the night before. All he had left to do was arrange the furniture and decorations. Fortunately he finished just in time because he hear Emily trying to make her way up the stairs.

He sighed in relief when he realized she was just running to the restroom. He took this time to put the last few things on the shelves that he had put up. Just as he was about to walk out, she met his gaze in the doorway.

"I hope you like it." He gestured for her to come into the room. She walked in and gasped as she looked around at all of the detail that went into making the nursery. She absolutely loved it and the fact that he did all of this for her and their children.

"I love it!" She exclaimed as she walked over to the rocking chair and sat down in it and propped her legs up on the ottoman. She really liked that he used light green, light yellow, and light blue. She looked at the little nerdy things he added to make it perfect for not one, but two baby geniuses. "You have to start them off early?" She asked gesturing to the entire room. He nodded happily explaining everything he did and why he did it. Spencer Reid never ceased to amaze Emily Prentiss.
