Short chapter I know sorry. I had writer's block for like the first time. What do you think about this chapter? Any opinions?
"D-Derek?" Spencer whispered.
"Yeah pretty boy?" Came the response.
"...thanks," Spencer smiled sadly.
"For?"
"W-well for s-standing up for me," he replied.
"Anytime pretty boy... How are you feeling?" Derek asked.
"Fine...the 'contractions' are finally minimizing...they really are annoying," Spencer said wrinkling his nose in disgust.
"Something bothering you?" Derek said cautiously.
"...i...i was thinking," he gulped nervously.
"Like always," Derek agreed teasingly.
"...Derek, I was thinking about the baby," he continued ignoring the sarcasm.
"...something wrong?" Derek quickly got up concern edging his voice.
"N-no...I mean yes? I don't know," Spencer sighed.
"Then what-?"
"Derek I'm going to go through with the caesarean," Spencer informed.
"Really?" Derek asked surprised.
"...yeah," he answered.
"Why?"
"...the internal damage will be great and...Most definitely painful. The risks would only increase... Plus if I were gone you'd go insane with a new born," he smiled.
"Yeah like you'd be any better," Derek raised a brow scoffing.
"You know..."
"Spence, Pretty boy look at me," he ordered.
"..." Spencer didn't answer nor made an effort to move.
"Spencer I'd be lost without you. I didn't mean to say that," Derek sighed.
"B-but it's true," Spencer nodded.
"No Spence I was just joking-"
"What if he or she hates me? Oh god what if I screw up. Derek I can't go through with this," Spencer says fear in his eyes.
Derek sighed. He screwed up yet again like countless times. "Pretty boy, the baby will love you. You are the one carrying him or her well in...you," Derek smiled.
"Derek the 'Reid effect' does happen," Spencer says matter-of-factly.
"We just say that to tease you," Derek reassures him.
"No Derek you don't understand. The only children that don't hate me are Henry and Jack," Spencer mumbles shooting him a worried look.
"...Have you been with other kids?"
"W-well n-no b-but..."
"Must I remind you that the 'Reid Effect' also has a positive side?" Derek asks grinning.
"W-well like I said only Henry and Jack-"
Derek cut him off with a kiss.
"It'll be fine. Heck even I'm not prepared," Derek smiled grabbing his hand.
"...will we really be alright on our own? With a new born?" Spencer asks.
"Probably not but that's why we have the team, our family, our friends," Derek informed.
"I don't think I'm ready," Spencer muttered.
"No one really is but we do have a month left," Derek smirked.
"Actually 3 weeks 2 days 5 hours and..."
"Alright I don't need to know exactly when we conceived the baby," Derek teased playfully.
"I guess not since you remember it so vividly," Spencer smiled for the first time that night after his meeting with William.
"W-what?" Derek feigned hurt.
"Derek," Spencer rolled his eyes.
"Yes Spencer I love you too," Derek whispered in his ear while rubbing Spencer's belly.
"I love you Derek," Spencer leaned into his touch.
"Goodnight."
