OH MY GOSH! :D This is a big big big chapter! Ya'll just read. I'll leave you to it! ENJOY!
Quite a few months later
I sat with Bailey, who was growing fast, on the couch. She had become my constant protector ever since I'd been on maternity leave. My due date was growing nearer by the day and I was ready to hold my baby in my arms. I rubbed my now very round belly and Bailey looked over at me. I scratched her ears and under her collar. I knew she wanted to go for a walk so I put her on a leash and did so. Reid told me to stay inside when he was at the BAU but I just wouldn't listen. I didn't know who in the right mind would stay inside on a beautiful day like that. We got back home, I went to take a nap on the bed. The walk had tired me out. It must've tired Bailey out too because she curled up next to me and we both fell asleep.
Reid's Point of View
Hotch was always telling me to keep my head in the case, but with Chealsee at home for the past week by herself it was hard to think of anything but her. We were looking through files but if what we were looking for crossed me I wouldn't catch it. After the day was over, I went to my hotel room and flopped down on the bed. I picked up my phone and dialed Chealsee's number.
"Hello?" She answered on the other end.
"Hi Chealsee." I said to her.
"Spencer! How's the case going?" She asked.
"Pretty good. How are you doing?" I asked her back.
"I'm doing well and so is the baby and Bailey and Spooky. We're having a scary movie night right now." She said.
"Oh yeah? Well I can't wait to be home." I told her.
"I miss you. About how much longer?" She asked.
"Just a day or two. We have a suspect and we're wrapping up." I said.
"Okay. Love you." She said on the other end.
"Love you too. Bye." I said and hung up. I knew it was going to be a long day or two.
Chealsee's point of view (its short but to the point)
It was about 11:00pm when I woke up. I felt a terrible cramp like pain in my abdomen. Oh no. I thought. Reid wasn't there and Bailey couldn't very well drive me to the hospital. Then I had a thought. I picked up my phone and called Garcia.
"Hey Cheals what's up?" She asked.
"Garcia do you think you could come get me and take me to the hospital?" I asked.
"Oh my gosh! Yes I will be over in two shakes of a lambs tail!" She declared and hung up. So I got a bag ready and waited.
Reid's point of view
I was in bed when my phone rang.
I picked up and gave a drowsy, "Dr. Reid."
"Hey Junior G-man you need to come home like, now." I heard Garcia say exidedly on the other end.
"Why?" I asked, immediately thinking of Chealsee.
"Well there short stuff how bout this. We are currently at the hospital and you are about to become a daddy." She said.
"I'll be there." I said and hung up the phone. I packed up, and an down to the lobby, where the whole team was waiting with their stuff.
"What're you guys doing here?" I asked them. "
We wouldn't miss this for the world. Garcia called us." JJ said. And with that we were off and on the jet on our way back to Quantico. Once we got there, without even dropping our stuff off, we headed to the hospital.
Inside the Nurse said, "Right now we only need the father. Who might that be?" I raised my hand. "Come with me. The rest of you stay until we tell you." She said and I was off to see Chealsee.
About 10 minutes later Morgan's point off view
I paced back and forth. Being who I was I was very protective so I was worried about Chealsee and not exactly sure what she was going through. I wasn't a female and I hadn't ever had a wife. I'd only seen movies which seemed painful enough. I also had no idea how it was for Reid. I knew the kid was protective over Chealsee so I was sure he was just freaking out. I know I would be and was.
15 minutes later Hotch's point of view
I knew exactly what was going on. After all I'd had a wife and I had a son. But I couldn't help but be panicked. I cared about my team no matter how often I tried to hide it, and I just wanted it to be over.
6 minutes later Rossi's point of view
I have to admit I was freaking out a little. Chealsee was like a daughter to me and I wanted more than anything to be in there with her. But I was confident Reid was capable of comforting her. After all she was the love of his life. I just knew that Chealsee didn't have a father, and I wanted to be her father figure more than anything.
15 minutes later Garcia's point of view
I paced by Morgan with many thoughts running through my head. Was the baby a boy or girl? Was Chealsee okay? Was my Junior G-man okay? Was the baby okay? Will I have to take all the boy stuff I bought back if it's a girl? I was also trying to calm Morgan It was a beautiful but stressful time.
12 minutes later JJ's point of View
Out of everyone, I was probably the calmest. After all I'd been through it before. It wasn't fun but having Henry in my life was worth it. That when The nurse stepped out and nodded at us, and we all stampeded toward the nursery
Chealsee's point of view (last point of view change for the chap)
I held my beautiful baby boy close to my heart. To me, he was perfect and all I'd ever wanted. He looked like Reid, but had red hair just like mine. Everyone was cooing at him and congratulating me. They took turns holding him and doing baby talk. Then we heard a knock at the door and I saw my brothers friend Luke standing there. He no longer had cast and was much less frail looking than before.
"Hi Luke." I said. "I wouldn't miss this.
"Your friend Garcia called me." he said and Garcia smiled. Then I asked my big question.
"I would like all of you to be Gregory's godparents. Even you Luke." I said. They all stood silent for minute but then exploded with "yes" and "of course" and "I would love to". So the day ended perfectly. I had my baby, his daddy, and all his aunt's and uncles there with me. And Gregory Patrick Reid, had a life to start with everyone that loved him.
(One of my faborite songs ^_^ It fit the moment. I edited a little so it'd be for a boy rather than a girl)
He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Layin' there in bed listenin'
To his new born baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It gonna be OK
It won't be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughin'
At the week we brought him home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby just hold on
'Cause it won't be like this for long
Four years later 'bout 4:30
he's crawling in their bed
And when he drops him off at preschool
he's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels him off of him
He says what can I do
She says now don't you worry
This'll only last a week or two
It won't be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop him off
And he won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long
Some day soon he'll be a teenager
And at times he'll think he hates him
Then he'll watch him say his vows,
And let him go.
But right now he's up and crying'
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses him good night
And he says his prayers
He lays down there beside him
'Til his eyes are finally closed
And just watchin' him it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows
It won't be like this for long
One day soon that little boy is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah, this phase is gonna fly by
So, he's trying' to hold on
'Cause it won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long
So? Was it all you'd hoped for in that chapter? I tried really hard. Please R&R and stay tuned! Chealsee's journey isn't over yet!
