Morgan leaned against the wall to hold himself up. 'Pregnant?' he thought. 'Baby Girl's pregnant?' He steadied himself against the wall and when Reid came around the corner he was slumping down.
"Morgan! Hey, are you OK?" Reid said, catching him and helping him up.
"Pregnant", Morgan said in a whisper.
"Pregnant? Who's pregnant?" Reid asked.
"Baby Girl", Morgan said, as he leaned on Reid's shoulder and sat down in a nearby chair.
"How do you know? Did she tell you?" Reid said, getting him a cup of water.
"I overheard her on the phone. She must have been talking to the doctor. I'm going to be a dad, man!"
"Well congrats!" Reid said. "You're one lucky man. A wife and a baby soon!
Garcia walked around the corner and saw Morgan slumped in the chair. "Hot Stuff! Are you OK?" she said, running over to him.
"I'm fine, Mama", he said. "Are you OK?"
"I'm fine. You look pale. Reid, is he OK?" Garcia said.
"I think he was just a little lightheaded is all." Reid said. "I'll leave you guys to talk."
As Reid walked away, Garcia sat down with Morgan.
"Adonis, are you sure you're OK? I can make you a doctor's appointment."
Morgan laughed slightly. "Already thinking like a wife and mother. You're going to be great, Goddess."
"Thanks, Love", she said. "I got to get back, but you're sure you're OK?"
"I'm fine", he said. Morgan smiled brightly. "Was there something you wanted to tell me?"
Garcia blushed a bit. "No. Well, at least not yet."
"Then I'll be patiently waiting", Morgan said getting up and going to his desk.
"Now what was that about?" Garcia said, going back to her office.
Heather called Tia as soon as Penelope hung up.
"How's my preggo?" Heather said.
"Exhausted", Tia said, laughing. "But good. I'm good." Tia paused for a second. "But you're not. I can tell. You're…" she paused again. "Scared. I'm getting a scared vibe. What's wrong?"
"You've always been able to read me", Heather said. "How far along are you now?"
"About 5 months. I was already almost two months when I told Aaron. I had no idea. No nausea; or anything." Tia laughed. "I swear, if it didn't show up in the blood, I probably wouldn't have known."
"Then I guess we have something else in common", Heather said and then went silent. The silence between the two was shortened by Tia's scream.
"Oh my, shut up! Are you serious?" Tia said excitedly.
"Two months, Cuz", Heather said. "And yes, I'm incredibly scared."
"Where are you?" Tia said, grabbing her purse and heading out of her office.
"Out side in the parking lot. I came to you. I, I didn't know where else to go." Heather wiped away her tears. A few moments later, Tia walked up to Heather's car and got in.
"Drive", Tia said.
"Where to?" Heather said, putting the car in drive.
"I'll tell you where to go", Tia said, pulling out her sugar free graham crackers.
They drove to a park near the man-made lake on the outskirts of town. Heather put the car in park and turned off the engine. Suddenly the tears started to pour down Heather's cheeks.
"OK, talk to me. Tell me how you're feeling", Tia said.
"I honestly don't know", Heather said. "I'm happy, worried, scared, excited…"
"So you're feeling everything", Tia said with a chuckle handing her a tissue. "It's common. You're hormones are all out of wack."
"Did you feel like this?" Heather asked.
"Absolutely", Tia said. "I was a bundle of nerves. I wanted to scream it to the world, cry; everything."
"I'm scared, T", Heather said. "She handed Tia the papers the doctor gave her.
"Oh. Gestational diabetes. Yeah, my doctor told me about that too."
"Really?" Heather said, perking up a bit. But you're eating graham crackers!"
"Sugar free graham crackers", Tia said. "Aaron is meticulous about what I eat. Haley was on bed rest with Jack and he wants me to be healthiest I can be." Tia gave Heather a cracker. "And Spencer will too."
"He doesn't know yet", Heather said.
"Who does?" Tia said.
"You and Penelope", Heather said. "She sorta guessed it a couple of days ago when we met for coffee."
"And no more coffee", Tia said.
"Yep. Got it", she said sadly.
"You can have tea", Tia said, laughing. "And they taste amazing." She patted her on the arm. "Feel better?"
"Actually I do", Heather said. "I'm pregnant!" she screamed.
"Yes you are!" Tia said and hugged her.
Rossi walked out of his office to the bullpen. "Hey, my place, tonight at 7. Dinner. Everyone, OK?"
The team agreed. Reid sent a text to Heather and Hotch texted Tia. After the replies, they all met at Rossi's.
