Hey everyone, here is the next chapter for you all. I hope you enjoy this chapter. There are two big time jumps in this but there are only a few chapters left on this story. I was actually going to give Reid a break to those who think I was going to go down the mean route. I'm sadistic but I do have my good side. I know the surrogate idea is different but I wanted Garcia to do it and I know some of you think it's strange. Enjoy and I'd love to hear what you think. Make me smile!

KASEY64, you're in my mind! Seriously some of the things you said in your review, are what's planned but I have an added bonus on top of that all.

Reid addict - No, the magic fairies didn't get a chance. I zapped them with my evil powers.

LaRieNGuBleR - Haha! I spat my drink out laughing when I read your review. Thank you for making me smile.

Enjoy and please review

All mistakes are my own

Five months later

Reid sat nervously in Garcia's apartment as she took the pregnancy test. Implantation of the eggs had been two weeks ago and today was the day Garcia could take the pregnancy test. He couldn't stop his knee bouncing up and down, he didn't have high expectations but he really hoped that the treatment had worked. He had treated Garcia like a queen since she had offered to be his donor and surrogate. She had taken all the medication to increase her chances and followed all the instructions from the doctor with perfect accuracy. He had moved from Morgan's house and into another house only just down the street. Morgan had found it for him and he had to admit, he loved his new home. Morgan liked that he wasn't too far away. For a few weeks, he kept finding Clooney outside his door and the two couldn't figure out how he was getting out at night. It was only when Garcia had set up a camera, they found out he opening the back door just enough to get out.

His book was still doing incredibly well and he was working on his next book, a novel where his main character had been based on Garcia. He looked up when he heard the toilet flush. The door to the bathroom opened. He stood and looked at her face. There were tears in her eyes.

"It didn't work, did it?" he said before brushing his hand through his hair and taking a shaky breath. "It's okay. It was a long shot and they said the chances were small."

Garcia walked over to him and saw the upset in his eyes. "Are you crying?"

Reid shook his head and blinked a few times. "I think I got too optimistic about things. The doctor said the chances were small and I really wanted it to work. It's okay though. I don't want you to feel bad or anything like that. I know that some people feel like that in this situation when things don't work."

She wiped his cheeks with her thumbs. "Reid, why are you crying? I'm pregnant and you're going to have a little baby in about nine months. My tears are of joy. You didn't give me a chance to talk," she laughed gently. "Reid, it worked. I'm pregnant."

He looked at her for a moment before letting out the biggest smile that Garcia had ever seen. He hugged her and began to laugh. "Oh my god! I can't believe it worked! I'm gonna be a dad! Thank you, Garcia. I owe everything to you. I'm going to do everything for you and give you everything you need."

"I'm so happy," she smiled before touching her stomach. "I didn't want to disappoint you. I'm going to do everything to make sure this pregnancy goes to plan. I know I have to be monitored carefully. I did about three tests just to make sure. This is your miracle, Reid. Should we tell the team? They know we are doing this today."

"We'll tell them," Reid nodded. "I want them to keep an eye on you through all this. Garcia, thank you for doing this. You'll always be part of his or her life and when they are old enough, I'll happily tell them that you brought them into this world. I know this isn't easy on you."

"Reid, when they are old enough, they can know and if they want me to still be in their lives, I will be. Till then, I'm happy being the fun, loving aunt who gives them too many birthday and christmas presents. This isn't hard on me. I wanted you to know who the donor was and to be around the surrogate. I'm doing this for you because I love you and I never want to lose you again. I want you to have a wonderful life. I know you will have a wonderful life being a father. He or she will always be apart of me but it'll be a part that I'm sharing with you. You'll be a great dad."

"I'll give them everything," he said before letting out a small giggle. "I thought that Lincoln had taken everything but I did manage to hold on to something. For the next nine months, I am yours to command, Garcia."


Reid couldn't stop smiling as he drove to Rossi's house. The team had gathered for a small evening in together. He pulled in to the driveway and turned off the car. He rushed out of the car and opened Garcia's door for her. She let out a small laugh. "Will this be what happens for the next nine months?"

"Absolutely," he smiled at her. She ruffled his hair and followed him inside.

"Stop smiling," she said. "You'll give away the good news."

He took a deep breath and took the smile off his face. Both their faces remained neutral. They knocked on the door and were let in by JJ. "Hey, you two. Come in, we're just getting all the food ready." They came in and found every one in the kitchen getting food ready. Morgan was the first to walk over and hug Garcia.

"Hey, baby girl."

"Hello, Morgan," she said.

Blake broke first. "How did it go?"

Garcia pretended to look sad, so did Reid.

"I'm so sorry," JJ said as she saw the look on their faces. "You could try again."

"You're sorry that I'm pregnant," Garcia grinned. "It worked, I'm pregnant!"

"I'm gonna be a dad," Reid said happily. Hotch immediately walked over and gave Reid a hug. He patted him on the back and gave him a big smile.

"Oh my god, this is an amazing moment," JJ smiled before hugging Garcia.

"Congratulations, Reid," Morgan said. "You deserve this. We kept tell you that you had a miracle coming. I better be named the Uncle."


Seven months later

Garcia sat at Morgan's desk with him, sipping a cup of herbal tea. She felt like a planet being seven months pregnant. She only drank herbal tea and Reid drank it too when he was around her. She didn't drink coffee and she didn't eat anything that could harm the baby. Reid constantly read baby books and always brought her food. During her major cravings period, he always brought her what she wanted in almost no time at all. She had regular scans and her health getting monitored carefully. She had eliminated salt from her diet after her blood pressure came back high. The team helped her at work and she loved that Reid had let her shop for all the baby clothes. He knew her love of shopping and he admitted he had no clue when it came to picking matching outfits. They had found out the sex of the baby.

A little girl.

Reid already had the nursery finished and it was full of pink. Garcia remembered how happy Reid had been at finding out he was getting a little girl. His new book was going to get its début release a few months after the baby was born. She had been the first to read it and loved the main character. She couldn't help but feel special at the fact Reid had based the character on her.

"Ooh," Garcia said suddenly putting her tea on the desk.

"What is it?" Morgan asked quickly.

"She's kicking. God, she has a strong kick."

"Can I feel?"

She grabbed Morgan's hand and placed it on her stomach. Morgan felt the baby kick. "Wow, she sure can kick."

"Try feeling it from the inside," Garcia laughed gently.

"Garcia, are you doing okay?" Morgan asked.

"Apart from getting some mean heart burn sometimes, I'm doing fine. The baby is fine and Reid is more excited than ever. Why?"

"Garcia, I think what you're doing is amazing. I just want to make sure that you're ready for the day you have to give her to Reid for him to raise. Half of her comes from you and one day, she'll want to know who her mother is."

"Half of her is also Reid. Morgan, I understand that the day she is born, I'll give her to Reid and she won't have any concept of who her mother is till she is old enough. I'm under no illusion that it won't be a little difficult not being a mother to her. Reid understands that too. He wants me in the baby's life and I will be. It's not like after the birth, I'll never see her again. I'll always be in her life but she is Reid's daughter and he will raise her to become amazing. I do love her and she is biologically my daughter but, she is my gift to Reid. I didn't want some stranger carrying his child for them to turn around and keep the baby. The day I give birth is the day he holds his miracle. I understand what comes with doing this, I always have known. He deserves happiness and he has it now. After all that pain that he went through, he's finally happy. He's barely thought about that year with that bastard since I got pregnant."

"I just needed to make sure," Morgan smiled. "You are glowing. Pregnancy suits you."

"I feel like a planet sometimes but it does feel wonderful. I do miss eating certain foods and doing a few other things but they are an easy trade. I don't want anything to possibly harm this baby. I got freaked out enough when they worried about my blood pressure. I can't wait for her to arrive and for Reid to see her."


Reid walked into his house and found Garcia watching a romantic movie with her feet up on the table with pillows beneath them. She was staying with him till the baby was born. He came in with his hands behind his back. He walked over and brought the flowers from behind his back. Garcia smiled as she reached out and took them into her hands. Every week, without fail, he brought her flowers.

"They're beautiful, Reid. How was your book signing today?"

"It was good, many are asking about the new book but I just keep telling them will have to wait. I've got two more and then I'm officially free until the new book launches. Even then, I'm not going to do many signings. I'll have a little girl demanding my attention. How are you? Any problems?"

"No, apart from being her kicking me. Your daughter has a mean kick."

"She doesn't get that from me," he laughed. "I can't kick a ball."

Garcia opened her bag next to her. She opened it and brought out a box. "Reid, can I ask you to do something?"

"Anything," he said.

She passed him the box. He opened it and pulled out a small baby mobile.

"I have one request, Reid. This is an old mobile that has been in my family for a very long time. It was even above my crib when I was a baby. I want her to have it above her crib. I hope it's okay."

"Garcia, I'll put it above her crib. It isn't a request, it's an honour."

"Thank you, Reid. It was originally made by my grandfather and my dad then added a motor and music to it. It's special and it belongs with her."
