"Welcome back!" Garcia squeals.
"Hey Baby girl," Derek smiles.
"Well?" she turns to Spencer.
"Well what?" he asks confused.
"Give it up," she extended her arm out.
"Give what up?"
"Baby girl take it easy," Derek warns.
"Pictures now," she glares.
"Fine," Spencer sighs looking through his bag.
"OMG!" She exclaims looking at the ultrasound pictures.
"Pen what's wrong?!" JJ and Emily rush towards them.
"Look at our mocha baby," she trances the figure.
"Oh my gosh Spence," JJ hugs him.
"She's so tiny," Garcia coos.
"She?" Spencer asks.
"Of course! This baby better be a girl," Garcia says.
"Why a girl?" Derek questions.
"Hello? Earth to Derek, all the BAU babies a boys, it's time we have a little girl," she rolls her eyes.
"It would be nice to have a girl for a change," Emily agrees.
"I don't mind as long as she or he is sporty," Derek smiles.
"Either way we won't know until I'm 20 weeks," Spencer his stomach, a new habit he picked up.
"You look happy," Hotch and Rossi arrive.
"Look at this preciousness!" Garcia hands them the pictures.
"Wow kid," Rossi smiles.
"How far along now?" Hotch asks.
"Thirteen weeks," Spencer replies.
"When will you find out the gender?" Rossi asks.
"In one month and three weeks…why?" Spencer responds.
"We kind of…maybe made a bet on what the baby will be," JJ says.
"Can we join?" Derek interrupts.
"No I don't think so," Garcia answers quickly.
"Why?"
"Garcia is afraid you two will decide to find out the gender of the baby before everyone else and decide to change what you bet on," Emily explains.
"Great, then I think the profit should at least be split," Spencer says.
"I don't think so," Hotch gives a rare smile.
"Hotch?"
"Rossi and Hotch made a bet on when you two would get together and Hotch won," JJ smiles.
"You too?" Spencer's shocked.
"Couldn't help it," he grins.
"Interesting…before I forget here are the doctor's papers allowing me to work," Spencer hands him the folder.
Hotch looks them over and nods.
"Derek and Spencer I think it's best if you told Strauss sooner rather than later," Hotch advises.
"Actually we're going now before Spencer starts to show and can't hide it anymore," Derek informs.
"Alright I'll accompany you," Hotch says leading the way.
"Come in," the ice cold voice rang through the door.
"Good morning ma'am," Derek enters the room first.
Following is Spencer and then Hotch.
"Agent Morgan, Dr. Reid… Agent Hotchner, how may I help you?" she asks looking up.
"My agents have to inform you of something rather important," Hotch begins.
"And they need you?"
"I'm here for moral support," Hotch replies.
Strauss drops the pen and file she was holding on the desk.
"I'm listening," she folds her hands.
"Ma'am, SSA Dr. Reid and I are in a very complex situation," Derek says calmly.
Strauss looks over at Spencer who was sitting across from her.
"Due to a misleading night after a case Dr. Reid and I had relations."
"You do realize this is against our code of conduct," she says sternly.
Derek looks over at Spencer. Strauss follows his gaze.
"Dr. Reid?" she asks.
"…I-I'm…pregnant," he whispers.
"Excuse me?" she says startled.
He automatically places a protective hand over his abdomen.
"I'm pregnant," he repeats staring into her eyes.
The room filled with a thick silence.
"I'm sorry…this isn't exactly what I expected but it's still not permitted," she finally says.
"Are you saying you're going to fire us?" Derek asks.
"Well apparently you two are in a relationship and expecting a baby. It's either I fire one of you or Dr. Reid transfers to another unit," she explains.
"Wait, wait we're not in a relationship well in an official one. It was just a one night thing. Even if we were in a relationship we wouldn't let it interfere in our jobs. This has not been problem yet," Derek interrupts.
"With all due respect ma'am, Agent Morgan is correct. Despite they have not informed me of being an official relationship, they are at home, I assume. Just to inform you this has not affected their work at all," Hotch says.
"Aaron I understand you appreciate them but-"
"Ma'am I already talked with the directed…and he said, and I quote, 'They are allowed to remain in your team as long as there are no problems,'" Hotch grins.
Strauss glared at Hotch but sighed in defeat shortly.
"Alright," she nods.
Spencer was the last to stand and walk toward the door. Before he closed the door she called him. He turned slightly meeting her glistening gaze.
"Congratulations," she smiled.
Did she just smile? He wonders confused closing the door completely.
"Well that turned out to be easier than we thought," Derek sighs relieved.
I think Derek screwed up...Big time. Who can guess?
