The Secret Social Life of Dr. Spencer Reid Chapter 19
Thanks for the reviews and reads etc
…
After Spencer had stormed out, she collapsed onto the floor and broke down. She couldn't understand it, why wouldn't he want to have a child? She didn't expect him to be thrilled about it because in truth nor was she, but she did want a baby and he had told her that he'd thought about it. The mind of Dr Reid was puzzling sometimes; no-one knew what he was thinking. Soon thereafter she decided to go and talk to someone. The guys were not an option, Garcia wasn't either because she was way too emotional and she'd kill him, JJ had her own stuff to deal with and that left Emily. Kathryn knew that she was the one to trust with this, the one to go to just to talk; Prentiss was the level-headed and understanding one. She was like Dave in that regard, she listened and gave good advice.
She got there and knocked. When Emily didn't answer she was about to turn away; after all it was late. Luckily, the door was opened in the nick of time and upon seeing the distraught looking younger woman, Prentiss practically dragged her inside and onto the sofa.
"Want a drink?" The black haired agent asked, the worry evident in her tone.
"No thanks. Er, I'm sorry for barging in like this and waking you up, maybe I should go." Kathryn could tell that her friend had been asleep before she knocked and that only made her feel more apologetic than she normally would for something like this. Emily forced her back down onto her cream sofa by the shoulders before sitting next to her.
"It's fine." She told the distressed women. "What's wrong?" Out of instinct she hugged the hysterical woman the moment she started crying, shushing her and rubbing her back. After several minutes they released each other, Emily crossing her legs and facing her direction, Kathryn hugging her knees to her chest.
"I'm pregnant, Emily." Her voice was shaky and her eyes red and bloodshot from the crying. She stared into her friends eyes as she said it showing the seriousness of the matter.
"Does Reid know?" As stupid as it seemed, she felt compelled to ask. All she got was a nod but it was then that it clicked, she knew why the woman was so discouraged and broken. "What did he say?" She sighed, she loved the man but he could be so insensitive and such an idiot on occasion. She knew it wouldn't take too long for him to feel guilty and apologise but she wasn't sure if it would work this time.
"He just-" Kathryn stopped temporarily in an attempt to get her emotions under control, she shouldn't be allowing herself to be so vulnerable. "He told me he'd rather I broke up with him than tell him I'm pregnant, that I should get an abortion because he can't be a father. He told me that he doesn't want to have a child; that he doesn't want us to have a child." A new wave of heartbreak and misery hit her, forcing her to shed even more tears. It was a wonder she hadn't ran out of them yet. She had never cried so much in her life before now.
Prentiss just sat there awkwardly, not knowing what to say to even remotely comfort her. She would've never anticipated that Reid would say something like that. "I guess it runs in his family, huh, running away from something when things get a little 'difficult'. You'd think he'd know better, his dad left him and his mum and he's just gone and done the same." Kathryn confided. She knew it was harsh of her to say; mean to compare the two of them but she couldn't help it. It was what he had done; told her to watch him walk away from her, from them.
"Hey, hey." Emily started, "you know that's not what he's done and we both know how guilty he's gonna feel by tomorrow. He'd never leave you regardless. If he can handle over 20 years of you then he can handle this." Kathryn looked at her friend and rolled her eyes but smiled slightly, she was pulled back into a hug by the agent. "Maybe that's why he's afraid, because he doesn't want to be his father." Prentiss reasoned once she pulled the 26 year old away from her slightly so that she could look at her. "Stay here tonight and get some sleep. It's not good for you, the baby or Spencer if you don't. You can have the bed. No arguments or buts." She could see that the young brunette was about to argue so shook her head and rolled her eyes.
"I'm pretty sure that beds big enough for both of us and I can't sleep alone." Kathryn told the woman, slightly embarrassed by the comment. She had actually just asked Emily Prentiss to share a bed with her. The older woman just laughed and led her upstairs.
