Spencer's P.O.V.

Only a few days had passed since Ariel had woken up from her coma. She had refused to stay in the hospital after the first day, saying that she'd heal better in familiar surroundings, and that if they didn't let her out, she would just sneak out somehow.

It was a rare slow day in the BAU, and we were using it to get caught up on paperwork again. I had just taken a break from my third stack of paperwork and was contemplating going to the break room to refill my coffee when I saw something that made a chill run down my spine.

Penelope Garcia, technical analyst extraordinaire, was moving through the bullpen with a positively evil smirk lighting up her face.

"Hey Baby Girl, what'cha got for us?" Morgan asked.

"Actually, I think it's what our boy genius has for us that might be more interesting." Garcia said, and I could feel my cheeks heating up. I knew exactly what she was talking about, but I was also determined to keep from mentioning it for as long as possible. I had hoped to make it through the day without actually having to show the team, but it looked like Ariel had planned ahead. "Ariel just texted me and said that he had something to show us."

Now Prentiss and Morgan were looking at me curiously, and I nearly groaned out loud when I saw JJ walking over as well. Luckily I knew that Hotch would be in his office, so there was little chance of him coming out and seeing what was about to happen.

"What's going on, guys?" JJ asked, and Garcia repeated what she had told us.

They just sat there for a minute, staring at me, and I could feel my face heating up. Finally, I just decided to get it over with, and dug around in my bag for the object. I knew Ariel had put it in there last night, but I had taken it out - so of course, it was back in there when I arrived at the Bureau this morning.

I braced myself for the response, before pulling the object out of my bag.

Aaron Hotchner looked up from the reports that were scattered all over his desk when he heard the raucous laughter coming from the bullpen. He recognized Morgan's booming laugh, as well as JJ's giggling.

He came out of his office and headed down to where most of his team had gathered around Reid's desk, planning on asking them what was going on.

As it turned out, he didn't even need to ask.

A small black teddy bear sat on the desk, wearing a baby's onesie. The onesie was a little gray thing, with the phrase "I'm proof that nerds get laid" written across it in bold. Several ultrasound photos had been attached to the bear's hand with a red ribbon.

Reid was sitting at his desk, trying to keep the rest of the team from seeing how red his face was getting.

Hotch had to stop walking for a minute to try and get himself back under control. It wouldn't do for him to burst out laughing in the middle of the FBI, after all - he had a reputation to maintain.

"Man, kid," Morgan said, being the first to get his laughter under control. "I've said it before and I'll say it again - that girl of yours is somethin' else."

The youngest member of the team's response was muffled slightly as he tried to hide his face. "Don't remind me." he groaned.

Spencer's P.O.V.

Ariel was waiting for me when I got home.

As soon as I stepped through the door she practically ambushed me, trying to jump on my back. Unfortunately, it didn't work out as well as it could have, mostly because of the large bump where our child was.

"You are evil." I told her, even as I spun her around in my arms and kissed her.

She laughed as she pulled away. "So I'm guessing that that means they were entertained by the bear?" she asked.

"Yes, they were. But I still don't understand why I needed to show them it." I told her, even as I tripped over a stack of boxes.

Ariel laughed as I sat on the floor, slightly stunned. "Are you okay?" she finally managed to get out.

"No thanks to you." I scowled. She stopped laughing almost immediately even as she slowly lowered herself to the ground to sit in my lap.

"It's getting a bit harder to move." she mused even as I ran my hands over the bump, marvelling in how big she was getting. We just sat there like that for awhile until I shifted Ariel off of my lap and onto the floor next to me so that I could stand up and then help her to her feet.

"So I'm assuming," I began as I took my wife by the hand and led her over to the couch. "That you heard back from the realtor?"

Ariel looked at me in surprise. "How'd you know?" she asked, and I gestured back towards the front door - more specifically, the stacks of boxes sitting there.

She groaned and placed a hand on her forehead. "Damn it, kid." she murmured, shooting a fake glare at her stomach. "You're making me lose my mind." I knew what she was referring to, of course - the phenomena known as 'pregnancy brain', where a pregnant woman's memory wouldn't work as well as they were used to.

I just laughed, until she glared at me too. "Don't you start, mister!" she threatened, although anything threatening about it was canceled out by the laughter dancing in her eyes.

"So what did she say?" I asked her, once we had calmed down a bit - although I had already guessed what the answer would be.

"Our offer was accepted." Ariel said with a grin. "We got the house!" she practically squealed as I wrapped my arms around her waist, picking her up off of the ground as I spun her around.

As soon as she was back on the ground, she grabbed my tie and dragged me down so that she could kiss me - something that I went along with quite willingly.

Once we had both run out of oxygen, we broke apart. "C'mon, killer." Ariel said. "Let's irritate the neighbors one more time." she said, before turning and walking away.

I watched her walk away, confused, as I tried to decipher what she meant. Then it hit me, and I felt myself blush slightly as she called out, "You coming?"

A/N~ So this chapter was a little more… mature, I suppose, than others have been. But it was very fun for me to write, and I hope you enjoyed the jokes and things.
