Ashley looked in the mirror and sided. Reid was on a case and she was nervous and not only was she nervous so was Mini Reid. But the constant kicking wasn't the only annoying thing. There it was a stretch mark. Reid hadn't seen it yet and she was worried. She knew he wouldn't say anything; he loved her and had coped well with all the other big pregnancy changes. He loved the bump and some of the other areas of her which had grown, but this was different. It would take a lot of work to get rid of the stupid stretch mark which lay just across the bump. She had tried so hard to not get any; she'd used oils and butters. All gives from JJ and Penelope. She would just have to get used to it. Turning around she set to work finally unpacking the last of her boxes. She was moving in with Reid finally, although admittedly she had been practically living there for a long time.
She had just started hanging up some more clothes when her phone started to ring. Seeing the contact ID as Reid she began to panic.
"Hello."
"Hey Hun are you ok? You sound scared?"
"I always get scared when you're on a case. It's nothing new baby."
"All right beautiful, I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing?"
"I'm good I finally unpacked all the clothes. I found my old cheer outfit, from my old school before all my dad and stuff."
Reid gulped down the phone. "Cheerleading outfit got a cheerleader pregnant. Teenage me would've faint."
"And with that comment your IQ dropped. Well I was a cheerleader before I was never talked to because of my dad."
"You know Emily said something like that to me once. Anyway I have to go, Morgan just texted me. I love you and baby and I'll be home soon."
"I love you too."
Garcia had dragged Ashley out for a shopping day. She had never seen anyone so excited by Baby clothes she did love them, but not like Garcia. They had at least 7 bags full after 2 shops. However they had finally sat down at a coffee shop. Ashley had a massive hot chocolate her massive craving. Reid found these cravings hilarious they had gone through so much hot chocolate this week. That and cornflakes she had lived off! Reid had thought it funny to buy her some mini packets which she was now carrying round in her purse. She leaned down to grab a packet when she got a pain down her bump.
"Ouch! That's new!"
"Sweetie what happened?"
"Nothing just a really weird cramp that just felt a bit ... ouch!"
"That doesn't sound good sweetie have you felt this before."
"No I haven't, something feels wrong Garcia. Can you call Reid?"
Panic flushed across Garcia's face.
"I'm on it... Reid hey it's me. Look Ashley is having odd pains. Should I take her to the hospital? Sure we'll meet you there."
"What did he say?"
"There is a specific baby clinic we can go to. We are going to meet him there."
-Reid dropped his car keys as he tried to rush to the clinic. He was scared, nothing should be wrong at this point in the pregnancy. He couldn't stand the thought of Ashley being in pain he needed to be there.
He pulled up and saw Ashley stood outside. Garcia had obviously gone to register them. Ashe got closer her face twisted with pain.
"Ash, talk to me what do they feel like?"
"Like really heavy period cramps, really uncomfortable. It isn't a kick, I don't know Reid."
"Ok let's get you inside."
-"Reid can you believe how panicked we were. I feel stupid, Braxton Hicks. I've read up on them how come I didn't think of it."
"You kidding me it was an easy mistake Ash. The doctor said it was good of us to come and at least we are registered now."
"Always a positive right. Do you want to meet the team? I feel like pizza and group movie night. Especially to make up for ending the shopping trip early."
"Sounds like a good idea. I haven't seen the team properly out of work in a while."
Garcia was the first to knock on the door with Morgan following behind. She gave Ashley a big hug and handed her a packet of hot chocolate to save her from the dreaded coffee later. Rossi and Hotch turned up together joking away. Rossi took a step back when he saw the size of Ashley's stomach; he looked shocked at how quickly the baby was growing. JJ and Alex came together with wine, JJ winked at Ashley. Revenge for all the time she had been out with the team while pregnant. The pizza was already ordered in and they all gathered in Reid's lounge after debating movies for a while Pirates of the Carrabin was chosen. Rossi looked around them room and saw his family which was constantly growing. Reid had his arm around Seaver but was turned talking to Morgan making some comment about Orlando Bloom. Ashley and JJ were also talking Orlando Bloom but very differently to Reid and Morgan. Hotch and Alex laughed and Garcia was aiming popcorn in Morgan's mouth. He loved this family. His family.
