Oh my dog guys I am so so sorry! I have had such a busy time latelt that I haven't been on here very much. To make it up to you I am going to post a longish chapter tonight. I really really hope you aren't mad and I hope you enjoy this chapter very very much!
At the hospital, everyone stayed to make sure Reid wasn't going to die on them. The doctor informed us that he was okay but had some respiratory issues and a bad case of the common cold. Both of which would go away with the right medicine and a little rest. So everyone went home after making me promise to call them if anything changed. I did of course and they left. I however stayed right there with him. At a point I got too tired to sit up, so I hopped in his hospital bed with him and curled up. I fell asleep pretty quick and for once had a pretty restful sleep.
What woke me up was somebody playing with my hair. I blinked open my eyes and looked over to see it was Reid. He was looking over at me and smiling. I felt some tears coming on and so I hugged him.
"I thought I would never see you again!" I sobbed into his shirt. His voice was raspy due to his throat being raw from all the water.
But he said, "Hey it's okay. I'm fine."
"You are not! You're sick and even skinnier than before and…and…" Before I could finish he cut me off.
"Those are both fixable though." I looked up from his shirt and smiled at him. After that we just sat there in silence for awhile.
"The doctor said you can come home tomorrow." I said.
"Good. I want to sleep in my own bed." he said and laughed a small raspy laugh.
The next day he did get to go home. Hotch instructed me to stay with him at home until he was better. I happily agreed. I was standing at the stove making soup since Reid couldn't swallow anything really, and then my phone rang. The caller ID said JJ so I answered.
"Hey JJ." I said.
"Hi Chealsee…how's Spence?" She asked.
"He's good. A little drowsy but good." I told her.
"So have you told him yet?" JJ asked.
"No JJ I think…I think I'm just gonna go through with my plan." I said timidly.
"What?! Why? He's back now." She said.
"I know but I'm not ready to be a mother." I told her, keeping my voice low as not to let Reid here me.
"At least talk it over with him." She said.
I sighed and said, "Fine. I'm waiting until he's better though."
"Fair enough but please don't think you aren't ready. I went through the same thing when I got pregnant with Henry and it turns out he's the light of my life." She said.
I thought about it then told her "Alright JJ I'll try okay? Bye."
"Bye." She said and I hung up. After that, I went upstairs to give Reid his dinner. I got a little surprise when I walked in. There was Spooky, curled up on Reid's stomach and they were both sound asleep. It was a cute moment so I got my camera and took a picture for the new scrap book I had started of our…family. I put my hand over my stomach.
"Our family." I thought. After that sweet moment, I put the camera away and went over to Reid with his soup. "Hey sleepy head, It's time to eat." I told him and shook his shoulder a little. He blinked open his eyes.
"Oh when did I fall asleep?" He asked.
"I'm guessing sometime while petting Spooky." I said looking down at the cat upon which Reid's hand still rested.
"Oh yeah. He just jumped right up so I thought I'd pet him. Its weird, he hated me last time I saw him." Reid said.
"Its because you're sick. Spooky always was a good nurse kitty." I told him. And with that I sat on the edge of the bed and fed Reid soup. I loved nursing people back to health. It was a regular thing for my brother when he was still at home. He got the flu almost every year. I smiled remembering how he used to whine about his tummy hurting like a little child. Memory's were nice to look back on after the hurt had passed a little.
About four weeks passed before Reid was back on his feet again. He still had to take medicine but the doctor said fresh air was good for him so we went for walks almost every day to various locations. One day, I decided to spring my big surprise on him. I stopped and he kept walking.
When he noticed I stopped he turned and said, "What's wrong?"
I was silent for a moment, and then said, "Reid…do you want kids?" It was his turn to be silent.
"I've never really thought about it. I mean…I never actually though Id have a girlfriend either though. Plus I've always been afraid of passing schizophrenia to any child I might have." My heart jumped a bit.
"So…you don't want kids?" I asked.
He looked at me with a serious look and said, "Do you?"
"Well you see that's…" he cut me off there.
"Because if you do that's fine we can try if you want."
"No Spencer that's not what…" He cut me off again.
"Chealsee I really have no problem with kids I just wouldn't know how to….parent. And of course again there's the fear of passing schizophrenia and the fact that we're both FBI agents and…"
I cut him off this time by blurting out, "Spencer while you were gone I found out I'm pregnant." There was a long pause and it was awkward. I felt like I was being stared at and could feel the lump in my throat getting bigger but I help back the tears. Then there was crying. But it wasn't mine. I saw Reid start to pace and cry.
"I knew he'd be mad!" I thought. "Spencer I'm sorry. Look I've already considered it. I'll get an abortion and then we can just forget it ever happened okay?" He turned to we when I said it and smiled while shaking his head.
"Chealsee I am not mad." he said and hugged me.
"But you just named a bunch of reasons you don't want kids." I said.
"No those weren't reasons I didn't want kids those were reason's it would be difficult to have kids." He said.
"Then why not just…" T started to say.
He continued his cutting off from before by saying, "Chealsee a family is something I never dreamed I'd have…and now I can." he laid his hand on my stomach and I knew it was all going to be okay.
(Okay here's another song I put in. It's one of my personal faves ^_^)
Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now, what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red and she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad-
Yeah I live for little moments like that
That's like just last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the
house was going off
She was just about the cry
Until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see, me laugh-
Yeah I live for little moments like that
I know she's not perfect, but she tries so hard for me
And I thank God that she isn't
Cause how boring would that be?
It's the little imperfections, it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost
But holding hands-
Yeah I live for little moments like that
When she's laying on my shoulder, on the sofa, in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep, so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it, cause its tingling and its numb
But she looks so much like an angel,
That I don't wanna wake her up-
Yeah I live for little moments-
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it-
Yeah I live for little moments like that
