Ch.15 Happy Ending, FINALLY!
When she was 8 months pregnant, Megen & Dave have lunch together. He was the one who suggested it. (He missed her & she missed him)
As they ate & talked, Megen would try not to wince every time a cramp would hit her. "Are you ok?" Dave asks her when he caught her wincing. Megen nods slowly as she let out a slow breath.
7 minutes later, she winces again (the cramping was getting stronger) "Sweetheart, you're not ok." Dave says as Megen again lets out a slow breath & places a hand on her stomach, rubbing it. "You're right, I'm not ok." Megen says. "Could you call Spence then get me to the hospital?" she asks. Dave looks at her, frowning. "Am I missing something here?" he asks. "I'm in labor, Dave." She says simply, as she rubs her stomach. Dave's eyes widen in disbelief. "Dave, I'll explain later. Right now, I need to go!" Megen says. Dave comes out of his stupor & nods.
As they make their way to his car, Dave speed dials Reid. "Yeah, Reid you might want to meet Megen & me at the hospital. I'm taking her there now" he says. Megen could hear Spencer squawk over the phone & smiles as Dave helps her into the car.
At the hospital,
Megen had been put in a room when Spencer arrives. "Took you long enough" Megen & Dave both say. Spencer grins sheepishly & points over his shoulder. "Hotch wouldn't let me leave until I told him the truth" he says. Megen grunts & winces as a cramp hits her. Spencer goes to her.
Just then, Dr. Warren walks in & glances at the two men in the room. "Is this a relative?" she asks pointing to Dave. "I'm her father" Dave says without hesitation. Megen nods through the pain. Dr. Warren nods at Dave then explains to Megen that she will be hooked up to a fetal monitor & checked every half hour until the contractions get closer apart.
When she leaves the room, Dave turns to the couple. "Dave, I'm sorry we didn't tell you." Spencer says "You saw what had happened last time. We just couldn't go through it again, so we agreed to keep it ourselves" he says, sadly. Dave's face softened & looks at Megen fondly. "I understand." He says. (He knew these two deserves a happy ending)
8 hours later,
Megen's water broke & all hell broke loose.
Spencer was beside himself as Megen snapped at him several times, every time he told her to breathe through the pain. "Don't take it personally, Reid. You know she loves you. It's just the pain talking" Dave explains. "Yeah, I'd like you say that while going through this!" Megen growls at him.
Dave bites his lips to keep from laughing.
As the baby started to crown, Megen was told to push. As she did, she screamed/ grunted & Spencer, along with Dave coached her.
Spencer nearly loses it when the doctor tells Megen to stop pushing (the baby was coming out breech) & the doctor had to adjust the baby. Megen screams in pain & he is close to tears as his heart stops.
"Okay, Megen, and PUSH!" the doctor orders after a minute. Megen does….suddenly a baby's cry sounds through the room.
Megen sags back onto the bed as Spencer is teary eyed as he kisses her sweaty temple. Dave has tears in eyes as well.
"Megen, Spencer, you have a daughter" the doctor says with a smile as she takes the baby to get cleaned up & weighed.
Megen cries happily against Spencer. "I love you" he says, his voice wavering as he presses his head against her hair. "I love you too" she says tiredly.
"She's beautiful" Megen says, tearfully as her daughter is handed to her. "Just like her mother" Spencer says, looking down at his daughter. "He's right you know" Dave says from the other side of Megen. Megen blushes through her tears.
Later, that evening, Spencer's friends stop by to see the baby. All the women gushed over the baby girl. Morgan thumped Spencer in the shoulder as he congratulated the young agent.
"What's her name?" JJ asks. Spencer & Megen look at each other & smile, and then Megen looks at Morgan. "Her name is Morgan Amber Reid" she says. Morgan is taken by surprise & the others look at him. Everyone was stunned.
"Morgan, you have always been a good friend to me, looked out for me & then I met Megen, you looked out for her & saved her twice. On top of giving her your name, we'd like to ask you to be her godfather. And Emily, I know your leaving but we would like you to be her godmother" Spencer says.
Morgan & Emily were both honored to be asked that. Morgan was even more honored that his 'little brother' & his wife wanted to name their child after him.
"I know we don't have anything to drink, but I'd like to make a toast to Reid & Megen." Dave says. Everyone looked at him curiously. "They finally got their happy ending" he says. Everyone cheerfully agreed.
Yes, finally Spencer & Megen got their happy ending!
