~BEXLEY POV~

As we walked into the familiar setting of David's kitchen, we were greeted with hugs. After saying a few polite hello's to the members of the B.A.U, I made my way over to where Sloane, Tyler, and Eleanor were sitting. I took the available seat next to Eleanor and couldn't help but notice her anxious smile.

"Well, did you tell him?" She asked and I smiled brightly.

Sloane leaned in closer so the rest of the team wouldn't hear what we were talking about just yet. "What did he say?"

I gave her a reassuring smile before saying "He's ecstatic. We're going to tell everyone tonight after dinner."

Sloane rubbed her eight months pregnant belly and said "Just wait. Soon enough you'll be bloated and you'll feel really awkward looking at yourself in the mirror. It's worth it though. Amadeus needs to get here soon."

"He'll be here soon enough and then you'll be asking me why we did this to ourselves." Tyler said and placed a kiss on Sloane's cheek.

"I'm having two grandchildren and I'm eager to meet both of them." Eleanor said and looked between me and Sloane with a smile.

I laughed and said "You'll have to wait on this one but maybe Amadeus will come early."

"Fingers crossed." Sloane and Tyler said in unison which made us all laugh.

I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see David walking towards us with a smile on his face. "Care to let us in on the joke?"

Sloane leaned back and rubbed her stomach again before saying "It's time for this little asshole to come out and greet the world."

David laughed and said "That I can understand. At least to a degree."

Eleanor smiled and said "Is it time for all of us to gather around?"

David nodded and with that, all of us stood and made our way into the kitchen. A glass of sparkling grape juice sat at on paper towels for each of us and I couldn't help but smile at the sweet gesture. It meant so much to me that the team cared to curb the alcohol around me and had since before they knew why I hated it so much.

Spencer walked over and put an arm around my waist before grabbing the glass in front of me and I followed his lead. He leaned down and whispered in my ear "I love you."

I smiled brightly and let my lips meet his for what was supposed to be a quick kiss. After the kiss, he let his lips linger on mine for a moment and I could feel his smile against my own.

"I love you too, dragă." He was about to lean in for another kiss when we heard someone clear their throats.

We looked to see Derek and Savannah smiling at the two of us. Aaron, however, was the one who'd cleared his throat but he had a teasing smile on his face as well. "Would you two like a more private area to talk?"

I looked down at my glass of grape juice and felt my face heat up immediately. Spencer simply laughed and I had to remind myself that he'd been teased like this relentlessly since we'd started dating. I saw JJ give a small apologetic grin before turning back to David.

"Now that we're all together, I have something to say." David started and all of our eyes went to him. "We've been through so much this year and as it's coming to an end, we've only gotten stronger. We've gained new family members and reunited with old ones. We've saved people we didn't know and we were able to save one of our own. I want to say thank you to the woman in the room who's managed to make a change in all of our lives and bring life back to our doctor. Bexley, thank you."

He held out his glass in an appreciation and the rest of the team followed, saying several different variations of thank you's and agreements. Spencer smiled and I took a drink of my sparkling grape juice.

I took a deep breath before saying "Thank you. All of you, for what you did. I've never had a family until I came here and I'm so glad that you've all welcomed me into your lives. I thought for so long that people were too selfish to think about anyone but themselves. Thank you for proving me wrong."

David and Aaron smiled kindly, Derek and Savannah gestured their glasses to my words, Sloane, Tyler, and Eleanor all grinned knowingly, and JJ said "It's good to have you in our family."

"Our continuously growing family." Sloane said and she looked up at Spencer as she cuddled into Tyler.

Spencer leaned down and whispered in my ear "Can we tell them yet?"

I nodded and looked to all of the team members. I looked from face to face and saw acceptance, love, and friendship in each and every one of them. It was a sight that warmed my heart and I knew that our baby would grow up well loved in that moment from each of them.

"Spencer, I know that face." JJ said and the rest of the team looked at him, waiting on him to say something.

He put a hand over my belly and said "I got the best news yesterday that the woman I love wasn't going to be taken away from me and it was all because each of you were so dedicated to proving that she was innocent. I didn't think my life could get any better until Bexley told me something life changing when we were home."

"Don't keep up waiting, Reid." Morgan said anxiously. The rest of the team were waiting just as anxious to hear what he had to say next.

"Bexley and I are going to have a baby." He said and there were several stunned looks around the table. I felt very self conscious all of a sudden and took their silence as a bad sign. Spencer however stayed perfectly calm and still.

After a few moments of silence, David walked over and kissed me on both sides of my cheek before hugging Spencer and saying "Congratulations."

I felt all of my worries fall away as one by one, we were embraced by the team. JJ walked over and wrapped her arms around me and Spencer in an embrace before saying "You're both going to be amazing. I'm so happy for you two."

"Thank you, JJ." Spencer said and I didn't have time to say anything before I was pulled into another hug by Derek.

He and Spencer exchanged a quick hug before Derek said "The kid better go ahead and get ready for MIT or Cal-Tech because daddy is going to want the best."

I couldn't help but laugh and say "Let's not talk about college yet. I would like to hold my baby first."

Aaron walked over to us next and said "Congratulations. Just know that the kid is going to be spoiled so you might as well get ready for it."

"Spence has only wanted kids since Henry was born so of course he or she will be spoiled." JJ said and I couldn't help but feel my heart swell with love.

Sloane smiled and I knew she could tell that I was getting a little uncomfortable with all the attention and was grateful when she said "Okay, time to feed the pregnant ladies. I get dibs."

This caused all of us to laugh and once we were all seated we were able to make casual conversation and it was nice to be able to relax after so long. Well, relaxed as much as I could with Spencer's eyes on me the whole time. Spencer, Aaron, Derek, and David all exchanged glances throughout dinner and I couldn't deny that it made me a little nervous.

I could feel a talk coming after dinner.
