~BEXLEY POV~
As I sat on Sloane's couch while she fed Amadeus, I couldn't help the tears that fell down my face. She sat there feeding her baby and I couldn't help but hold my stomach tightly. I was so worried about losing the family that I know had, I was tearing it apart.
"Are you going to let your bestfriend know what's on your mind or do I have to guess?" She asked sweetly and sat down next to me with her little boy in her arms.
"Sloane." I started and took a deep breath before saying "I keep fucking things up. I'm pushing Spencer away because I'm scared of my child going through what I did."
Sloane gave a sad smile before saying "Bex, you've had no sleep because you've been dreaming of Spencer taking the child with you because of how your mother and father were. You haven't talked about any of this with him and you are still coping with everything that you went through. Bex, I hate to tell you this but you can't do this on your own. You need him to work through the hell that you've been through. The only way you are going to see that you won't end up like your family is by working through this with Spencer."
"The horrible part is that I know you're right." I said before giving her a questioning look. "But how do I tell him that I'm terrified of him taking our child and leaving me because I might turn out like my mother."
She snorted and said "You're not. You're having dreams of him taking your child because of your past. He'd never take your baby away because he knows you're nothing like your mom. He loves you and that definitely helps."
"How can you be so sure?" I asked and she smiled.
She picked up the baby and placed him in the crib before saying "Despite you guys being low on the public display of affection, you are nauseatingly sweet."
I couldn't hold in the burst of laughter that spilled from my lips and felt awful when I woke up Amadeus. She rolled her eyes before picking him up and saying "I'm going to remember this when baby girl Reid gets here."
I took that as my cue to leave and made my way back to the apartment, thinking of Spencer and what Sloane had said. She was right. I knew she was right but I didn't know how to not push him away. I'd pushed everyone away my whole life because I didn't want to get more hurt than I had already.
When I went to check my phone, I found that it was completely dead. I groaned before stuffing it back into my pocket. I was glad to finally open the door to my apartment and relax. I sat down on the couch and rubbed my stomach as I thought about the future.
I then took a deep breath and decided to stop worrying about what might happen and just go find Spencer so I could apologize for the way I acted. I smiled and decided that that was the best way to take care of this.
I went to our bedroom and changed into a pair of pants and a nice shirt before brushing my hair and teeth. I relaxed and put my shoes on but took my time because I knew that I would have to wait for my phone to charge.
I got up off the couch when I had my shoes on to go find something to eat when I heard my phone hit the ground and fall behind the couch. I groaned as I went to pick it up as I tried to lean down with my swollen stomach.
I leaned down to pick the phone up and felt a sudden burst. I reached down between my legs and noticed that they felt wet. I thought back to what Eleanor said and realized that my water had just broken.
"Fuck!" I screamed in frustration as I went to grab my phone again, hoping that there was enough charge to call Spencer.
I felt a sudden pain and groaned as I tried to fight to grab my phone again. I gave up and decided I would have to get one of our neighbors to call him. I gasped as the pain started getting worse.
"Hey Bex, I wanted to come by and check on you before⦠Holy shit!" Sloane said as she walked through the door with Amadeus. She shifted him to her hip and tried to walk over to me but I waved her off.
"Sloane." I said as the pain seemed to increase more. "Call Spencer. She's ready to get her and I don't think she's going to be patient enough to get to the hospital. The office is closer."
She grabbed her phone and started to dial Spencer's number frantically as I fought to keep calm. It wouldn't be long now.
~SPENCER POV~
"You look lost in thought, pretty boy." Morgan said as he walked over to my desk. I smiled and shrugged but didn't say anything. "She's going to come around. Don't worry."
I looked down at my hands and said "I'm not worried, I'm concerned. The baby is due any day now and she's being more distant than usual."
Morgan was about to say something else when Garcia came rushing into the room, her heels frantically tapping the floor. "Sloane just called and said to get over to your apartment as fast as you can."
I stood up from my chair and asked "Is Bexley hurt?"
"She's in pain but she isn't hurt. She's in labor and they don't have time to get to the hospital because Sloane couldn't get a hold of Tyler." She said and I grabbed my keys before running to my car. I was thankful that I'd not only memorized how to deliver a baby but had actually done so a year before I met Bexley.
I took a deep breath as I sped out of the parking lot because I knew that she would be having the baby soon and where we wouldn't be able to make it to the hospital. I was about to meet my daughter and I couldn't quite shake the nervousness I felt. Delivering a baby was one thing, raising her was another. I just hoped I would be a good father to her.
***It's time for baby girl Reid to get here! I decided to update as soon as possible because of how the last chapter was. Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter and don't forget to R&R.
