Chapter 3

"Hey Spence." JJ said, sitting down next to him on the jet.

"Hey JJ." He said, not looking up from the book.

"Isn't Maeve due soon?" She asked curiously.

He nodded. "About a month and a half."

"So what are the names?" She said with a small smile.

"Alexa and Valerie." he replied, smiling. "Still haven't chosen middle names, though."


-a month later-

It was early in the morning, about 5 am, when Maeve elbowed Spencer. "Spencer, wake up."

"W-what?" he mumbled.

"They're coming." she said. "We have to get to a hospital."

He sat up and quickly helped Maeve to the car and drove as fast as he could to the hospital. After he got her checked in, he dialed Hotch's number.

"Hotch? It's Reid. I can't come in today, Maeve just went in to labor." Spencer said once Hotch answered.

"Reid, take as much time as you need. We don't even have a case yet." Hotch said. "Should I tell the team?"

"Sure." he said. "Gotta go. Thanks Hotch."


After many hours, Spencer sat next to Maeve's hospital bed, holding his newborn daughter. JJ peeked her head in and asked quietly "Is it okay if we come in?"

Both Spencer and Maeve nodded and the team came in. "Everyone, this is Alexa Jennifer Reid," Maeve said, motioning to the baby Spencer held, "and Valerie Diana Reid." she continued, looking down at her daughter in her arms.

Penelope squealed in joy. "Can I hold her?" she asked Reid. He nodded and stood up, handing Alexa to Penelope. "Hi, little miss Alexa Jennifer." She looked up and smiled. "Welcome to this world, baby genius."
