The Secret Social Life of Dr. Spencer Reid Chapter 24

I've decided to purposely not say whether the baby's a boy or a girl yet , I'm actually thinking about waiting until she's actually had the baby which may be in the next chapter or two cos this pregnancy stuff is me going on a whim as I've never been pregnant . In addition , for wedding plans I do actually have an idea for that but they won't be getting married yet , probably not for a while , sorry :S

Oh and I know that I've jumped during the last couple of chapters in terms of time but I don't want to drag this pregnancy on so yeah …

Thanks for the reviews and reads etc

…

The couple had gotten the house that they wanted and had moved in. He had to admit that even he had fallen in love with it. The team had helped with the move and setting up the furniture etc. The girls had planned that the baby shower was to be there and she'd forced the guys to take him to a Star Trek convention and then to the cinema to watch a random film that she couldn't remember the name of. It was payback and she was just glad that it wasn't her going with him. She loved him but she had boundaries and no way would she ever go to a Star Trek convention.

"So two months to go now and you can go back to drinking coffee." Lindsey joked, ironically sitting in front of her with a mug of steaming coffee in her hand. It'd stopped making Kathryn feel sick and now she just longed for it. She really was ready to just have the baby because the more she thought about it the more nervous she got. Could she really take care of a baby on her own whilst Spencer was away on cases? What other job could she get that would still allow her to be home for her kid? Will the team still like her if she quit the BAU? All she knew was that if Hotch had known that she was having those kinds of thoughts he'd give her a rather long lecture about how the BAU is a family and they'd never forget about one of their own, that they love her and that'd never change.

"Good, maybe I'll drink double the amount I used to for a while to make up for it, I intend to do the same with sex. I miss it so much, how long after you've had a kid do you have to wait until you can have sex again?" The women just rolled their eyes in a clear refusal to answer her question.

"Maybe you should open the presents." Garcia suggested rather excitedly. The bubbly blonde was going to invite all of Kathryn's female friends but complying with the pregnant woman's wishes she didn't. She wanted a 'small get-together' with the BAU ladies and her best friend Lindsey. It was all she really needed and she didn't like being the centre of attention. Most of all she really didn't want people touching her stomach the whole time asking about the due date and the sex of the baby, this, that and the other. She just wanted people, the people she now considered her best friends, there to talk to and laugh and joke.

"You guys really are the best!" The brunette exclaimed, looking down at the newly unwrapped gift laying in her lap.

"Well, we've bought stuff for the baby; we had to buy something for you too." Emily summarised, smiling at the look of pure glee on her co-workers face. They'd got her a large box full of her favourite sweets and chocolate, cookies and Dr Pepper. It was something so simple and yet so much to the twenty-six year old. She thought it was actually kind of cute.

"Yeah but I can bet Spence'll have half the box, he really does have a sweet tooth." JJ stated.

"You have no idea." She smirked at the glances she got from the women before redirecting their attention to the gifts and thanking them. "With all this I don't think we'll have to buy any baby clothes for a while. These are all so cute." She'd not only gotten clothes for her baby, JJ had bought the cutest little teddy bear along with baby monitors. She was beyond thankful for them. Jennifer had expressed how useful they were and how imperative it was for any parent to have them. Emily had gotten some cute little sheets with ducks and teddy bears etc on them. They were adorable. She also bought an activity gym to which the woman just couldn't help but smirk at. She could imagine Spencer encouraging their child to play with it, even joining in himself. She'd shared that thought with the girls and they all agreed. Penelope, being her, demanded that she wanted pictures of it if he did, as well as pictures of the family anyway. She expected constant updates on how the new addition to the team was doing and all the others did was laugh. Lindsey had gotten her some baby books, well more for Reid as she knew that he was more than likely going to insist on reading to their child every night to which, again, Garcia demanded pictures on. It took several minutes for all of the girls to convince her that there'd be plenty of pictures. Diapers and pacifiers were supplied with baby lotion and wipes. "I can't believe you spent all this money. You didn't have to." She felt guilty that they felt the need to buy all of this.

"We know." This was the only reply she got.

…

"That's like four hours of my day that I'll never get back." Morgan complained on the car ride back to Spencer's place. The convention was dire for the men; with the exception of the genius, and, they'd never thought it possible, but the film was worse!

"It wasn't that bad. It was great-" Reid started, the smile on his face was already turning into a grin.

"You two shut up. Morgan, it was a nice thing to do and he deserves it." Hotch reprimanded the man. To be honest, him, Rossi and Derek all shared the same thoughts; it was terrible and each of them were plotting their own individual revenge on the girls. Of course they didn't want to burst Spencer's bubble so they decided to swerve past that subject.

"So, you looking forward to becoming a dad?" Dave asked, turning around in his seat in order to face the young man.

They all noticed the slight hesitation before he spoke. Realising that he couldn't lie to his team, his family, of profilers, he sighed and started; "I'm scared. That's to be expected though right? I mean, I'm glad we're having a baby and all but sometimes I just don't know if I'll be good enough. As horrible as this may sound, part of me sincerely hopes that our child will not turn out like us. I don't want to raise a kid to be us, I want something better like, I don't know, just something that isn't dangerous." He closed his eyes and put his head back on the head rest, he had no idea why he'd just said that, what if they told her?

"No-one does Reid. If I had had children, I wouldn't want them to be anything like me. I certainly wouldn't want them to join the FBI or the army or the navy, just anything. I'd rather him or her be a teacher or a doctor, maybe even a lawyer. No-one wants to be their parents and no parent wants their kid to be like them." He smiled slightly as he remembered a discussion he'd had with his girlfriend the night before about the baby, she wants it christened with godparents. He found that he quite liked the idea despite him not being a particular believer in God or religion. They had chosen the godparents and both him and Kathryn couldn't wait until they could tell said people. They couldn't wait until they could hold their child for the first time.
