The Most Life Changing Thing
Reid and Prentiss
Chapter Three
November 2010
"Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my," Emily mumbled after she woke up, sore and smelling like sex, with Reid flung on top of her. "What did we do? Oh my!"
Sleepily he said, as he woke up, "That's not a good sign." He moved off her and blinked at her through adorable hazy half asleep eyes.
In a strangled tone she quickly said "Sorry!" and gave him a half smile, before yanking the sheet up to cover her breasts. "Did we have anything to drink last night?"
"I know I didn't and I feel," he yawned "fairly confident in saying you didn't either because you were only alone in your room for approximately three minutes before I knocked."
"That's what I thought. Hmmm. What excuse will we use then?"
"Do you need an excuse?"
"Me? No. Do you?"
"Nope."
"Oh...well, cool. Um...do you mind looking away because I really need to go to the bathroom to pee?"
He chuckled before his face went slack, because of the look on her face, and he asked "Wait, are you serious?"
"Yeah! Last night naked isn't the same as early morning naked. Its so bright in here now."
He gave her a completely confused look but looked away. She hopped out of bed, grabbed his shirt and put it on. As she hurried to the bathroom she said "Don't go anywhere."
"I'm no expert but I think this is what's called mixed signals in the world of mating."
From inside the bathroom she cried "Don't say mating!"
"That is the technically correct term."
Flush. "If you're at the zoo!" she called back as the water went on.
She didn't come out until she had brushed her teeth, washed up some and combed her hair. She felt much sexier when she exited the bathroom compared to when she went in. Emily strutted out into the room again and gave him her sexiest smile.
He wasn't paying attention though because he was messing with one of his contacts. She asked "Everything all right there?"
"I slept in my contacts and now my eyes are suffering from keratisis sicca."
"Is that serious?"
"It means they're dry, that's all."
She shook her head at him for using the medical term for something so simple. Digging in her purse she pulled out some eye drops and tossed it to him. "There you go, handsome."
He gave her a grateful smile before using it. Emily crawled on the bed, sitting with her legs tucked under her. Her fingers reached out to stroke over a hickey she had left on his chest. "If you try to hook up with someone else anytime soon you'll have some explaining to do," she teased.
"I can count on one hand how many times I've ever hooked up, if by hooked up you mean it how Morgan usually does. Having sex with someone you aren't dating. If that's the case, its highly improbable that I will hook up with anyone else before this fades away." He ghosted his fingers over a hickey on her and asked "What about you?"
"Oh, I'll just use makeup to cover it up so it won't be an issue. I can hook up all I want."
He gave her a very vulnerable look and she said "I was just teasing, Reid. I'm not going to hook up with anyone else anytime soon."
"I know you were just joking but its true. You can hook up with anyone at anytime, even after all we shared last night. I don't know...it seems somehow wrong. Like it should mean more than that but I know sex doesn't always mean more."
She longed to say so much but she wasn't ready to get into a heavy conversation filled with confessions so instead she just climbed onto his lap and placed her hands on his shoulders. "Hey, you are the only man I wanna hook up with and I wanna hook up right now. So I hope your dry eyes isn't so big of a medical condition that you're gonna turn me down." She started to kiss on his neck and then his chin and jaw. "Because I just might have to go ahead and pleasure myself if you refuse to help me out. And I won't even let you watch."
"You know me, Emily. I'm very helpful," he told her before capturing her lips in a kiss full of possession that left her gasping at how intense it was. Soon she was on her back, legs hitched high around his waist, as he drove into her with a fierceness that let her know he very much didn't want anyone else hooking up with her anytime soon, which was more than fine with her.
She had no plans or desires to sleep with anyone but Spencer Reid.

When their case was over, Emily was standing by the SUV waiting on the team to leave the local police station. It was only thirty degrees out and the cold was getting to her but she wanted privacy to make a phone call.
Ever since she noticed she had a missed call from her doctor's office she had been desperate to call them back before the office closed.
"Dr. Kline's office. How can I help you?"
"Yeah, hi, this is Emily Prentiss. Do you have my results ready?"
"Let me check here..." There was a long pause before Emily heard the words she had been waiting so long to hear "Its positive, Ms. Prentiss. You're pregnant."
The snow started to fall on her, just as the team slipped out the doors of the station, all laughing and joking with each other, while Emily stood there so happy she could cry and so scared she could faint, unable to let any of it show because, for now, it was all her little secret.
