Hello again my wonderful readers. I keep forgetting to do the disclaimers: I do not own Criminal Minds and I have never had ANY experience with pregnancy so I have no clue how realistic this is! It's also been a very long school week so it may not be my best writing! So I am sorry about that! Anyway, once again thank you for reading! I wanted to say a special shout out to 'PartTimeMuggle' and 'Criminal-Minds-Superfan' who are always giving me wonderful ideas and reviews. Along with all my other readers and followers! I love you guys! And please write Seaver/ Reid I am getting desperate!

"Reid we really need to buy some baby stuff."
"I know, there is just so much and it's so expensive!"
Seaver leant forward and picked up Reid's laptop of the table. Remembering what JJ had said about doing your research and then having a baby shower for the little bits. It wasn't like they weren't paid well, but it still felt extreme. Flipping open the computer she laughed at the background. Reid had clearly gotten bored while on the jet. There was a picture of them last Halloween at JJ's. They were dressed up as a mad scientist and a witch. Then right in the middle there was a photo shopped pictures of the ultra scan in between them.
"Remind me to get someone else to take our first baby photo." She winked as he mocked hurt.
"I'm not going to comment on your photography skills. Anyway we need to focus and get this done."
"Hey you distracted me first. But yeah you're right." They found a list and started looking through the baby websites. After a while Ashley started to fall asleep, leaning onto Reid's shoulder. He looked down at his girlfriend the ever growing bump. Her blonde her tickled his chin as he turned to look at her peaceful face. She hadn't slept well for the last couple of days ever since their baby was starting to move and mainly at night.
Reid remembered the first time she had felt it. It was middle of the night and Reid was late in from a case. He had only been asleep an hour when he had been hit round the head with a pillow.
"Reid, wake up something feels different."
"Why the pillow? What's up Hun?"
"Just I feel all tingly. It's weird Reid I haven't felt this before."
"Does it hurt? Should we go to the doctors? We could Google it?"
"Reid don't panic! We'll Google it and talk to JJ in the morning. If it gets worst I'll hit you with a pillow then we'll go to the doctors."
When they had found out it was just their baby moving they were so excited, unfortunately Seaver hadn't slept much since. Reid turned back to Ashley as she laid on the sofa her face hazy in the sleep. Reid felt his heart race. He loved her more than she realised. Sometimes more than he realised. She made his life feel complete for once in his life it wasn't forced. He wasn't scare of turning to drugs, he didn't need it. A thought crossed Reid mind, one he needed to do but needed JJ's help with.
JJ watched Reid walk over to her desk. His slight bags under his eyes suggested Ashley hadn't slept to well so wake him up by mistake.
"Morning Reid, you think the is hard wait till it's a baby crying nonstop instead of your pregnant girl friend getting up to pee."
"I know JJ. I baby sat for Henry once and that was bad enough. That does scare me."
"Well what can I say Reid. You put it there you suffer."
"Yeah JayJe, Actually I need your help with something."
"Yes I will come with you to choose it. But the rest is up to you."
"Wait how did you know?"
"You're like my little brother of course I knew. Plus you are acting like a love sick puppy having a puppy."
"That is an incorrect stamen, but I will forgive and agree with it."
"So Saturday we'll go?"
"Thanks JJ I owe you massively."
"Well I am presuming I am god mother."
"You presume right, my dearest friend."
Ashley scanned the shop for maternity clothes. She knew Reid would like whatever she wore but he had told her last night that he was taking her to a posh restaurant to celebrate their 3 year anniversary, so she wanted to look good and rock her bump. Spotting a deep purple dress. Picking it up she headed to the changing rooms. The dress hung loosely over her bump showing very little. The purple bringing out her eyes.
She hurriedly paid and went to get a cookie. She couldn't wait for this weekend, although she was worried about Reid he seemed nervous about something, he had almost jumped out of his skin when she came to the office. Not only had that but JJ looked overly happy.
Shrugging that feeling off she went back home to a Reid fast asleep on the sofa a book spread across his chest. A smile crossed her face she felt complete when she was with him. The hole her dad had created was filled by him along with an emptiness she didn't know existed until she first laid eyes on him. She could wait for the day he fell asleep with their child in his arms. She loved Dr Spence Reid.
