Stunned, everyone stared at Reid and Morgan "Is that a baby I can hear?" Hotch
asked. Reid looked at the ground and nodded. "Spencer, go see if
you can calm her down," Morgan told him. Reid quickly went back up the stairs,
glad to get away.
"I can't believe you; not only do you not tell us that your dating but you
have a kid as well?" Emily said.
"You could have told use you know we wouldn't have treated you any
differently," JJ spoke up extremely hurt.
"I thought we were a family, that we could relay on each other," Garcia spat
at him.
"Baby-girl we are it's just-"
"Just what Morgan? What reason could you have for not telling us?" Garcia
asked. Morgan sputtered, trying to come up with a reply.
"I thought so." With that, she and the rest of the team turned and walked
away, leaving a miserable Morgan behind.
After a few moments, Spencer came walking down the stairs holding an eight
month old little girl in blue footy pajamas with pink hearts
"Did they leave?" Spencer asked his lover. Morgan nodded his head. Spencer
looked at him with tears in his eyes "I'm sorry Derek.. I'm so
sorry," he repeated over and over again, letting tears run down his face.
"No, no Spence, you've got nothing to be sorry for," Derek told him wrapping
his arms around him and rubbing his back.
"But I'm the one who didn't want to tell them and now they hate us and we
could lose our jobs and its all my fault!" He cried harder now. Derek
hugged him closer to his body, being careful of the baby.
"No its not Spence, they don't know what you've been through to want to keep
it secret. Just let them cool off and we'll explain it to them, ok?"
Reid gave him a soft smile, wiping away his tears. "But what about our jobs?"
he asked, after calming down a little "If we do get fired
we could always get new ones. You're a genius, dude, there's not a job you
can't get." Spencer smiled at that and nodded his head "Thanks Derek,"
he said, and gave him a kiss "No problem, Kid. Now lets get this little girl
fed," he said, a little more happily. He took the little girl from Spencer
and walked into the kitchen.
(With the Team)
They went to the nearest bar to discuss what they had just witnessed, hoping
to be able to make sense out of it.
"I can't believe they never told us, more specifically, why they never told
me," Garcia said, taking a long drink of her beer.
"I know what you mean. I thought me and Spencer were close. That he would tell
me anything. But I guess not." JJ said, looking at her drink.
"I'm going to have to move one of them," Hotch said, looking morbid "I can't
believe I never saw it."
"It all makes sense now; the looks they send each other, why they always have
rooms together when we work a case out of town, how they always
seem to be too busy to hang out much" Rossi said drinking a shot of vodka.
"Listen to you, you make it sound like they're dead. Hotch, you don't have to
move either of them; they've been together for two years and
their relationship didn't interfere with their work, so its not going to now"
Emily told him exasperatedly "And Rossi, none of us saw it,
so you shouldn't take it so hard. They knew just what to do to keep all of us
out of the loop."
"Doesn't mean it hurts any less," Garcia said quietly, tears beginning to leak
from her eyes.
"True," Emily agreed.
"I say we let them be for a while, then we go back to talk to them," JJ said,
finishing off her drink, to which everyone agreed.
