A/N Set in the season 10 finale. JJ and Reid's convo after she tells him she is pregnant. Based off a prompt XoxMountainGirlxoX gave me. Thanks! Read and REVIEW! Thanks so much!:)
Reid was walking over towards JJ's desk when he saw her pull out a packet of saltine crackers from her desk drawer.
'Saltine crackers?' He wondered, but then it hit him. She was pregnant.
A wide smile came across his face at the thought, "Not you too! Am I getting another godson?" he asked her.
JJ turned, having not heard him approach, but smiled, "Possibly. Maybe goddaughter," she replied, taking a bite of her cracker, and Reid leaned down to hug her.
"Oh my gosh, congratulations JJ," Reid said, and JJ smiled.
"Thanks Spence," she replied.
"Does Will know?" Reid asked.
"Yeah, I told him when I found out a few days ago. We haven't told Henry yet though," she replied.
"He's going to be a great big brother. When are you going to tell the rest of the team?" Reid asked.
JJ sighed, "I don't know. I was just a liaison when I was with Henry so it didn't really matter if I was in the field or not. But now I'm a profiler and full field agent, so as soon as I tell Hotch, he's probably going to start limiting my work in the field..." Her voice trailed off.
"Don't you want to be out of the field though?" Reid asked. "To make sure nothing happens?"
"Yeah, I mean... I don't know... I want out of the field I guess, I'm just not... ready to tell everyone yet..." JJ said, her voice trailing off.
"Why not? Everyone will be so excited," Reid said.
"I don't know... The same reason I didn't tell you guys about Will and me dating at first I guess... Once you tell people that makes it real, and when things are real that's when you get hurt," JJ said slowly, slightly uncomfortable.
Reid's eyes widened in understanding, "You're afraid you'll tell everyone and then lose the baby, aren't you?" He asked.
JJ looked away. "No. I don't know. Maybe," she said.
"JJ, it's more dangerous for the baby of you stay in the field. There is a very low chance anything will happen that wasn't induced by the job. The sooner you tell the better for you both," Reid explained, slight worry on his face, but he was smiling anyway.
JJ sighed. "Yeah, I know I just... I'll tell them soon," JJ said. "I want to tell Henry first though," she said, her smile coming back and her worry fading some.
"Good," Reid said. "I'm sure Henry is going to love having someone to play with."
"Oh gosh yes. He's gonna be great," JJ said with a chuckle.
"If it's a girl Penelope is going to have a hayday picking out outfits," Reid said smirking.
JJ groaned, "Almost half of everything Henry owns is from Pen... I hope I can keep her in check when we go shopping," JJ said.
Reid laughed, "Well good luck with that," he said.
JJ smiled, "I have to get going Spence. Thank you," she said, leaning over to hug him.
Reid smiled, "Anytime JJ," he replied.
