Traded Mistakes

Chapter Eleven: The Drunken Doctor

Spencer and I had been back home for about three days when I got a call from Spencer during his break. I had been home for a mere two hours since my appointment with my OBGYN.

That was a reason why we had to come back a little early. My doctor had called Reid's phone to remind me about it. That seemed to uplift my mom more than I figured it should considering I was leaving for Virginia but that was how she was whenever baby related things were mentioned.

It was a bit weird for me. She could be gone before I even went into labor.

But she seemed to be worried about something else that I hadn't really thought about much since I discovered in my dad's letter; my brother. She gave me his number. Apparently they had had contact many times.

I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do.

"Hey. How was your appointment? I'm sorry I couldn't be there." I smiled and shook my head at him.

"It's fine, Reid. It was fine."

He was too good at perceiving when I needed to say something. "Did something happen, Nati?"

I sighed and took a seat on the couch. I had been pacing a little.

"It's nothing bad exactly. I just asked her about addiction. It's something I was a bit worried about especially after you told me you had a problem too. It's something we can talk about later. I feel like I'm ruining your lunch."

"No. I want to know these things. Especially there isn't just one of them. But I wanted to tell you before I have to go I probably wont be home until later. Garcia and Morgan are dragging me out to a bar."

That made me laugh. I couldn't see him drinking let alone being drunk. "Will I need to nurse a hangover that you may have tomorrow?"

"No!" He squeaked. "I don't plan on getting wasted."

Wasted, I didn't expect that word to come out his mouth. "If you say so. I've got a few remedies that I've come to find useful."

I heard him curse before he quickly told me he had to go. I hung up the phone and picked up the small square picture of the ultrasound from today.

It was a strange feeling. To know you had a being inside you and you could see it on a picture. I found myself liking it and smiling. This was something new.

I had moved after awhile to my room. I still called it that even though Reid and I began sleeping in his room. But my room still had my things in it and I felt comfortable napping on that bed rather than Spencer's. Maybe it's because I felt odd without him there. Or whatever it was.

I climbed into my bed and went to sleep.

I must have been sleeping for awhile because I woke up due to lots of noise coming from the front of the house; where the door was. I quickly rolled out of bed and walked to the front.

What I saw was definitely not what I expected.

Morgan and Garcia were helping Reid into the house. He was unconscious and I didn't have to be close to smell the alcohol practically seeping off the lot of them. But I was pretty sure my boyfriend was the worse.

"Nati, hi." Garcia smiled. "I didn't know you lived with Reid."

I nodded. "It was a very sudden decision. Morgan you can take him to the room. I can take care if him." Morgan nodded before heading passed past me to the rooms.

Garcia was before me right when I turned around. "Oh my God. You...and...Reid...oh my God." I was so confused and gave her a look that I'm sure let her know of that. "You're pregnant."

I gasped. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to say. He didn't tell them. Was I just giving some sort of vibe?

"You've been holding your stomach and there's been this thing about him for awhile that I've been trying to figure out. But I get it now." She was grinning.

"I think he wanted to tell you himself."

"Tell who what?" Morgan asked as he came back into the living room.

"I'll keep mum about it until he tells everyone. But I'm so happy!" I couldn't help but laugh at both of them. Garcia was so alive and Morgan just plain confused. What a pair.

"Thanks. I guess I'll see you guys around." I waved at them as they headed for the door. They both nodded before heading to a car that I suspected had to be Morgan's. The style didn't really suit Garcia.

She was a very interesting person.

I waited until they were gone from my sights to lock up the house and then went to see how Reid was.

He was still asleep laying flat on his stomach. I shook my head at him as I went to take off his sneakers. I smiled at him as I went to help take off his jacket too. I didn't want to get hot and end up any worse off than I expected him to be when he got tomorrow on a day that he actually took the day off.

He was gonna need it.

That much I was sure.
