Ch.4 telling Reid the news
8 weeks later,
Megen is at another site (after being at one for a month & much to Spencer's chagrin)
She did try to talk to him as much as she could & knew the separation was hard on him since they had just got married. (She missed him a lot too & he knew she was away a lot because of her job. They talked about it when they first started dating. It didn't mean he had to like not seeing his wife for god knows how long)
While working at this new site, Megen began to experience having dizzy spells, tiredness (more than usual) and certain smells bothering her which never bothered her before.
Alex, her assistant caught her a few times when the dizzy spells hit her. "Megen, are you okay?" she would always ask. Megen would always nod & chalk it up to just getting up too fast. Alex became worried when Megen almost fainted after getting up from sitting so long. Alex suggests Megen go lay down which Megen protested until Alex threatened to call Spencer & tell him Megen was sick. Megen glared at her when she said that, but relented & went to her hotel room. (Because she didn't need Spencer fretting over her while she was doing a job & she could just be coming down with the flu or something)
Megen lay down when she got her hotel room & was wakened by the insistent buzzing of her phone vibrating in her cargo pants pocket. Groggily, she reached for it & it stops to just start buzzing again. She squints at the caller ID & sees its Spencer calling her. "Hello?" she says sleepily. "Thank god! I've been calling you 33 times. I was worried" he exclaims. "Wait, you called me 33 times, Spence?" she says. "You need to stop worrying so much just because I don't answer after the first few times you call. It doesn't mean something is wrong, I could just be busy" she says irritably. He apologizes & for some reason, it annoys her hearing him be so childish. She rubs her face as she sits up & gets dizzy, feeling nauseous. "Babe, you ok?" he asks then. "I really wish people would stop asking me that!" she snaps. "Spence, I'm sorry. I'm just tired that's all" she tells him, sighing. "I haven't been sleeping well." She tells him which gets him worried. (He tells her he's worried) "Spence, relax. No nightmares, I promise. I'm just not used to sleeping alone & I'm working a lot" she tells him, reassuring him the best she can. He admits he hadn't slept well either since she left. He tells her he can't wait to see her again. "I know babe. "She tells him. They talks for bit more then hang up after saying 'I love you' to each other. Megen glances at the time when they hang up & is stunned that she slept nearly 8 hours.
3 & ½ weeks later,
Megen returns home just as Reid was leaving to out of town on case. (He hoped he would be home in a day or two. It would be the weekend if he was home in two days, & it would be theirs! She liked that prospect, so did Spencer)
Megen made an appointment for her doctor the next day (Friday)
The doctor confirmed Megen's suspicions (she started having them after nearly sleeping 8 hours that time) "Well, Megen you were right. You're pregnant" the doctor tells her. Megen places a hand on her stomach. "14 weeks" she says softly. The doctor nods. Megen smiles as tears come to her eyes. (Happy tears) "Spence was right" she whispers then she talks with the doctor about things for the next hour.
When she headed home, she stopped at the pharmacy to get her prenatal vitamins & several books about pregnancy.
Spencer got home Friday evening, (he called Megen as he left the office to tell her he was on his way) & Megen grabbed him by the tie as they kissed 'hello', dragging him down onto the couch (when he bent down) onto her.
It was the most intense, passionate, sex they've had since their honeymoon. "I'm never telling anyone what was done on this couch. They will never sit on it again." Spencer says after getting his breathe back. Megen laughs hysterically.
Later, they meet in the bed room. (Spencer took a shower) As he climbed into bed next to Megen, he notices some subtle things about her. (She seemed a bit excited, nervous) "Something on your mind babe?" he asks. She glances at him. "I guess I'm not going to be able to keep this to myself. It's what I get for marrying a profiler" she saw wryly. He looks at her. "Keep what to yourself?" he asks cautiously. She bit her lip. "You remember what you said to me when we first talking about marriage?" she asks He nods then spiels off then looks at her. "Why?" he asks. "Because, you are right about the last thing" she tells him. (She saw his mind processing this) His eyes widen. "Are you-?" he asks. She smirks as she nods. His hand goes to her stomach. "We are going to have a baby?" he asks. "Well, technically I am" she quips. He gives her a look as she sticks her tongue out at him. "When-", How far-"he stammers. "14 weeks" she tells him quietly. "On our honeymoon" he says aloud. "Right again, Dr. Reid" she says. He grins at her. "Can I do anything?" he asks. "You already did" she replies & he looks at her in horror. "I meant what happened on the couch, babe" she tells him leaning over & kisses him.
He goes off on a spiel about pregnancy & Megen tells him. "Um, babe I know the same stuff you do, maybe more." She tells him pointedly. He gives her a look and she spiels off about pregnancy statistics & facts that has him going off on his own spiel on the subject. She throws her duck at him to shut him up. He laughs as he catches it & hands it back to her, kissing her & puts his hand back on her stomach. Megen places her hand on top of his. "A baby" he says amazed. She nods. "Baby Reid" she says softly.
