The Secret Social Life of Dr. Spencer Reid Chapter 17
Another chapter :D
…
"Hey Spence, I need to talk to you." Kathryn said. They'd been officially together for two months and were going strong. It was great; perfect.
"Can it wait?" He asked. She sighed and rolled her eyes. "It's not because I don't want to talk to you it's just that we have a case."
…
That had been a week ago and they still hadn't found the time to 'talk'. She was quickly running out of patience with him. He was always "too busy". Whenever she asked he'd have something going on or something that was a higher priority or he'd distract her so she'd forget. The woman was stressed and finding it hard to keep herself under control. He was really irritating her and she wasn't interesting in playing his stupid game. That's why, as soon as he got home that day, she dragged him over to the sofa and demanded he listen to her.
"Look. We have to talk." She was pacing and he could tell it was something serious. He'd been avoiding this and he knew she knew it. He quite naively thought that maybe it was because she wanted to break up with him, but they were going so well, so why would she? Unless she was seeing someone else. But she wouldn't do that to him. All these endless thoughts ran around in his mind and for the life of him, he couldn't figure out what she was so desperate to tell him. "I'm pregnant."
She looked at his completely shocked face, he was completely silent; completely still. "Say something? Anything?" It was the worry that descended over his face that broke him out of the trance. He got up off the sofa and moved away from her slightly.
"You've got to be kidding." His heart was racing a mile a minute.
"What? No!" She shouted, she had thought of every reaction possible, even the bad ones but it hurt more in reality than in her head. She had dreaded this moment and he didn't exactly make anything better. "I'm pregnant. Really pregnant. Three months to be exact."
He moved away from her even more, his hands in the air, panic conquering his face. "You can't be pregnant, you're on the pill. This is not happening."
"The pills not 100% effective and it is happening, I know it's not ideal but it's happening and it's real. I wouldn't joke about something like this." She took a cautious step towards him but he only took a step back, distancing him from her.
"Why couldn't you have just been breaking up with me or something!" This is not something he needed; not something he wanted. How could he be so stupid. It was typical, take one good thing and turn it into something bad.
"What? You'd rather us be done that have a child with me? That's great. Thanks." It was her turn to step back from him and she looked so incredibly hurt but he didn't care.
"It would have been better than this. Anything is better than this. How could we have gotten into this mess? Can't you get rid of it or something, it's not too late, it's only 3 months in." Panic and fear laced through his voice so clearly. She'd never felt so betrayed, her heart began to ache, that was the worst thing he could have ever said to her. It couldn't possibly disgust him that much.
"No. I'm not getting an abortion. How could you- why would you even suggest that? This is our baby and you want to kill it? Does it really repulse you that much, that you don't want to have a baby with me?" Kathryn was crying at that point and he still couldn't care. He was too wrapped up in his own confusion, his own head to care about her right now.
"It's the logical thing to do and it's not 'our baby', it's not even a baby yet it's just a foetus. It doesn't repulse me; we just can't have a baby!" He shouted, why wasn't she listening? She should just understand. He didn't mean to shout and he regretted it.
"Why not?" Her voice was strained and she sounded tired, as though she'd been thinking about this for too long. He almost felt bad for her. Almost. But it was himself that he felt sorry for, he shouldn't have to go through this. They should have been more careful.
"We just can't. Just do something, I don't want a kid. We're not having a kid." His tone was final and adamant but when he saw the defiant look in her eye, he turned and headed for the door.
"You can't run away from this!" She cried out to him once he had opened the door, tears were running freely down her face and she felt broken.
"Watch me." Spencer replied before slamming the door behind him as he left.
