A/N: More updates! Yay! I am also looking for someone to do a criminal minds RP with, so if anyone is out there, let me know! I am going to be wrapping up this current season and going straight to about season 9 or 10. So no agent blake unfortunately and I don't think Caitlyn could even deal with Spencer getting shot in the neck right now, so let's see how this unfolds. Some things may seem kind of rushed and skipped over but GOSH I love getting to the good stuff and like it could be the BEST stuff this chapter or the next I don't want to give it away :) . We're nearing the end of this story… so enjoy it while you can my friends! Review review I appreciate every single one and it keeps me going!
Caitlyn stood frozen and scanned the faces of each one of her team members after she had dropped the bomb. She didn't understand why she said it but she just had to. The first to speak was of course, Garcia.
"Wait, what, you mean you have a little genius growing inside of you right now?" The technical analyst asked, breaking the silence. Caitlyn placed a hand on her stomach and grinned widely, nodding in approval.
"Oh…oh my gosh!" Garcia cheered, hugging her tightly. The rest of the team came up one by one to congratulate her and she smiled, looking at Spencer who had not moved or changed expressions since she accidentally blurted out the news. The other who seemed least surprised was Derek Morgan. And Caitlyn figured that was the case seeing as though his girlfriend, Savannah was the one who confirmed her pregnancy.
"Get ready for a lot of morning sickness and a lot of sleep, I'm pretty sure Spencer is going to make sure that you do everything right and have the healthiest baby ever." JJ smiled.
"So you got that second chance," Emily smiled, hugging her best friend, "I'm sorry for taking away your first one… but congratulations."
"I'm going to be a grandpa of more beautiful babies!" Rossi exclaimed, even though he had found out he had a daughter… and a grandson. He always thought of Caitlyn as a daughter, and when he found out about his biological daughter Caitlyn wasn't too happy at first but then agreed to share.
Caitlyn looked over and finally saw that Spencer was smiling, it was the biggest smile she had ever seen him have. His face was flushed and he it seemed as though the only thing that was keeping him upright was his grip on the table behind him, but he was still smiling. Morgan gave him a pat on the back and Hotch shook his hand. Caitlyn looked down at the ground as she approached him.
"I'm sorry." she said.
"Sorry!" he exclaimed happily, "for what?"
"I knew and I didn't tell you, with that last case I really didn't know when the right time was to tell you." Caitlyn apologized.
"Caitlyn. We're going to have a baby, we're going to start a family. He's going to be perfect." he smiled, grabbing her face in his hands and kissing her, the rest of the team applauding.
"Why do you keep saying it's going to be a he!"

That night the Reids entered their homes happy and excited. The whole way home Spencer was telling her information that he learned what to do and what not to do from the research that he did when JJ was pregnant with her baby.
"So you know what this means." he said gravely.
"No more coffee, I know." Caitlyn responded.
"And no more sushi."
"WHAT!" Caitlyn exclaimed.
"Too much mercury. And you already workout so if you don't do anything too strenuous that will be good for our baby too. Wow. Our baby, we're going to have a baby." Spencer said, sitting down on the couch and placing his elbows on his knees.
"I can't say that I'm not afraid. And are you sure you're still going to love me even when I get crazy and hormonal and fat?" she pouted playfully. The young doctor pulled her over and placed the side of his face on her stomach.
"I'd love you no matter what, that's our future in there." he whispered.
"But then when we have the baby, I don't want to stop working and neither do you an-" Caitlyn began to panic.
"Let's just take this one step a time. But you're not going on anymore raids. Right?" Spencer looked up at her desperately.
"No, of course not. We're not losing this one. I'm not going to stop working and I'm not staying out of the field but I promise to be smart about this, it's not only my life I have to worry about now." Caitlyn answered.
"Okay, well then that makes this a lot easier. I spoke to Hotch just incase you were against that he would make it so that you couldn't."
"Spencer!"

"I'm feeling fine. I mean, the baby bump is getting a little more than visible… who am I kidding I feel like you could see my stomach from space and my hormones are off the charts, but it's going good. I'm almost there, like 2 months to go. It feels weird just being pregnant. And it still freaks me out when the baby kicks. Hotch said this is probably my last case I can be involved in and then I'll be camping out with Garcia at the BAU. And I've been having to take weekly pictures to send to Spencer's mom because she wants to see me develop in every stage of my pregnancy." Caitlyn said on the phone to Emily, who had taken up a job offer to run the London office for Interpol. A new agent had arrived, Kate Callahan which really made distinguishing some of the agents difficult. Reid could be referring to two people and now Kate and Caitlyn, didn't make it very easy.
"Why don't you just rest?" Emily said on the other side of the phone.
"Are you kidding, do you know who you're talking to I'm a work a holic, I would literally go insane."
"You already are insane." Emily retorted.
"Are you ready to go?" Spencer asked, giving Caitlyn her decaf latte.
"I gotta go, call when you can, love you." Caitlyn said hanging up the phone and getting help to stand up from Spencer.
"Yes. I really hate this whole no caffeine thing and I feel like a whale." she complained as she did every single morning.
"Well I think you look perfect. This whole you being pregnant thing hasn't been so bad, I mean the increased sex drive that normally accompanies pregnancies wasn't a bad thing and you have the um… pregnant glow." Spencer said, kissing her softly.
"I'm sorry I threw an encyclopedia at you." she apologized, last night she had gotten mad for some reason that she couldn't even remember before and totally took it out on Spencer. God bless the patience that he had with her and JJ helping her through her pregnancy. Hotch had even taken her gun away- at least instructed Spencer to lock it away because he didn't want anyone shot out of a hormonal meltdown.
"You promise this is the last case that you're going to come on?" Spencer asked her.
"Yes and then I'll be stuck here alone, probably calling you a thousand times missing you or at the BAU driving Garcia crazy." Caitlyn sighed.

When both of the agents arrived at the office she immediately saw Kate. Most of the agents knew her from beforehand so it wasn't as though it was a new person joining the team.
"Hi Reid," she greeted.
"Hi." Caitlyn and Spencer both said in unison.
"That is still confusing to me." Kate smirked.
"Don't worry, just keep calling me Caitlyn. We've figured it out here." Caitlyn smiled, making her way into the conference room. Caitlyn had gotten close to Agent Callahan, talking to her about what it was like raising a pre-teen and getting anxiety every time she heard a phone call between the two. This was the last time that Caitlyn would be working the case, even though she was extremely careful and stayed back from any potentially dangerous situations, she had to stop flying and she had made a promise to Spencer and Hotch.

Wardens were found dead in a privately run prison. Caitlyn could already hear the objection coming from Spencer's brain as they were getting briefed for the case. Caitlyn winced as the baby started to kick on the plane.
"Is the baby kicking?" Spencer asked, placing his hand on her stomach. Derek Morgan came behind them,
"Do you mind if I?" he asked, and Caitlyn smiled placing his hand on her stomach.
When they finally landed Spencer stopped Caitlyn infront of the prison,
"Caitlyn I don't want you going in here." he said.
"I agree! You should be away on a mountain in a five star spa," Rossi called from a few feet away, "I can make that happen Caitlyn!" Caitlyn rolled her eyes,
"Spencer, this is literally the safest place that I can come in and help, they're all locked behind bars, even we don't have weapons. It'll be okay." Caitlyn said, squeezing his hand and looking over at Hotch who gave a nod of approval. They entered the facility and met with the main warden, the cell service was sketchy so they weren't able to get calls from Garcia with the usual ease. The first thing that was to be done was to look at the bodies and have some of the Agents talk with some of the in mates. The coroner wasn't very interested and didn't seem to do his job very well. And of course some of those who were being interviewed didn't seem to want to talk. Spencer was assigned to look through the prisoner's files and being the safest job as possible at the time Caitlyn was to assist. More like supervise with how fast he read. Caitlyn sighed and played mozart through headphones that she laid on her stomach.
"One of these inmates are missing, he just disappeared 3 months before the main guard was killed."
This brought them to their main subject of focus, Devon White. After conducting some interviews they found that his name continuously kept popping up. All the agents gathered together in a conference room.
"How is Devon White tied into all of this?" Caitlyn asked, eating some of the Spencer approved snacks in her mouth.
"Well I wasn't sure until I looked back and saw the two guards that were murdered were constantly writing him up for minor infractions. Not making his bed correctly, hiding candy underneath it." Spencer said.
"Are you okay?" Hotch asked as Caitlyn started to tear up.
"Yeah, yeah… that's just so mean and it's just… it's just hormones. I'm fine." Caitlyn shook it off.
"Like I said before this is your LAST CASE in the field." The unit chief reminded her and JJ squeezed her shoulder with assurance. They had found out that the two killed guards were exchanging money for bets.
"You know what I was thinking, what if they're doing like… a fight club with inmates. And that's what the money is for." Caitlyn suggested.
"That definitely could be it." Morgan agreed.
"And the first rule of fight club is, you don't talk about fight club." Caitlyn quoted the film, trying to be a little light hearted.
"We're just going to keep conducting interviews until we get to the bottom of this. Caitlyn, you go with Morgan and the rest of us will pair up and keep going at it. You're too emotional when you're with Reid." Hotch said with a sigh. All of the agents started to file out as Reid called after Caitlyn,
"I don't like this." he said, looking deeply into her eyes.
"Don't worry Daddy, she's going to be okay." Morgan assured him as Caitlyn gave him a kiss and went into the interrogation room. Devon had gone to the infirmary many times and they all believed that one of the men were in on it, especially after another criminal was killed. All of the inmates came in non violent and then turned violent.

Caitlyn and Morgan sat in one of the cells, one of the officers had come forward. He knew what had happened to Devon and the other innmate.
"You," he said looking at Caitlyn, "you have to make sure that my family is protected. I can't have anything happen to my little girl. You would protect yours please protect mine." he pleaded.
"We will, now just tell us what happened."
The officer began to explain how the guards put Devon and the other inmate who was now dead up against one another to fight, and without any other choice Devon was killed. The two were lovers and Devon was killed. All of a sudden from behind her she heard the clanging of keys and turned to see some of the inmates opening the door.
"Oh… oh my god." Caitlyn started, Morgan shoving her behind him. Morgan began to fight off the inmates and Caitlyn did the best that she could to defend them off with her strength and what was left in the room. She lifted chairs to hit the inmates with, thinking Please god, not again, please. She was eventually thrown to the floor and curled into a ball to protect her stomach after a blow or two to the face. The officer they were interviewing was stabbed as Caitlyn was grabbed by her hair.
"Baby on board," The inmate taunted kicking her in the back, he ripped her up by her hair and placed a knife to her neck as she and Morgan were moved and tied up to chairs.
"Just let her go, man! She's pregnant!" Morgan pleaded. The inmate smelled Caitlyn's hair and placed his hand down her shirt.
"I can feel that by her breasts, they're plump." he sneered, and Caitlyn spat in his face causing him to punch her in response.
"Fuck you." she growled.
"I'm going to have fun with with one first." he said, before one of the inmates Morgan must have interviewed earlier came and saved them.
"We have enough evidence to bring this place down, we can help you!" Caitlyn pleaded.

Spencer's Point of View
"What do you know about Devon White?" he asked, Agent Hotchner at his side. He felt alright knowing that Caitlyn was in the similar kind of interview environment. Locked in with the one being interviewed locked away as well. That was all until a guard ran in and Spencer could just tell by profiling him something was wrong. He prayed it wasn't Caitlyn. "There's something wrong, the prisoner's doors got opened, they have two of your agents." he informed them. Spencer immediately looked at Hotch, hoping it wasn't Caitlyn and feeling horrible that he wished it was other members of his team.
"There has been a complete system override, we can't get anyone in or out." The officer informed them as they walked quickly through the hallways.
"Can't you shut the system down?" Spencer asked.
"The only way to do that is from inside the booth." the officer stated as they arrived and on the screen Spencer saw Derek Morgan and Caitlyn Reid tied down and beaten pretty badly. Spencer began to speak gibberish, he was seeing stars and colors.
"Reid, are you okay?" Hotch asked as Rossie tried to get the head officer to open the door.
"She's in there, I told her not to go that-" the young genius found the nearest trash can and threw up, his system couldn't take it.
"You have to get her out of there, I can't lose her and this baby Hotch. I don't think I could recover, please." Spencer begged. He began to cry as he heard a gunshot go off from inside the control room. Desperate the genius got up and began to use everything that he could to try and break into the control room, even though he knew that there was nothing that he could do. Rossi wrapped his arms around Reid and pulled him back.
"You gotta calm down, we'll get them out." Rossi tried to comfort him.
"My life is in that cell, I'll die Rossi, I can't." he whimpered, slumping to the floor.

Caitlyn's POV
The inmates began to fight, the one that Morgan had talked to earlier had bought them some time. She felt relief when she heard the first shot. The sniper shot though the window. Caitlyn fell to the floor on her knees as the SWAT team arrived.
"You know we'll always come for you." The swat chief said as she saw Spencer running towards her at full speed.
"Are you okay, what did they do to you- oh my god your face you're bleeding." He started, untying her and inspecting her wounds.
"I'm okay Spencer and the baby will be fine. My pride and my face got the worst of it." she began, tearing up. Spencer pulled her in tightly to him as she sobbed into his shoulder and he cried as well. The rest of the bodies cleared out as the two held onto one another.
"No more. I'm staying with Garcia in her safe cave from here on out." Caitlyn cried into his shoulder.
"I was so afraid…."

Caitlyn stood outside of the police station looking out at the sun, she let out a sigh of relief as she felt the baby kick. Spencer was in charge of driving home using the excuse that he was now going to be in full control of his wife and her safety. When they had arrived back to the station, Spencer was silent and grabbed both of their things. Garcia ran up to the bruised Agent.
"I am so happy you are okay, and the little baby! Just so you know, I made you a spot in my tech lair with me since you're not going to be in the field. I even printed out pictures that I got of Reid- some legal some not, whatever, so you can see him all the time." Garcia chattered, "and lots of snacks!"
Caitlyn began to tear up as Spencer made his way back over with their bags.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No Garcia, it's great. I'm just going to miss being with him every second." Caitlyn teared up, she hated how emotional this whole pregnant thing made her.
"Let's go home." Spencer said, Caitlyn waved to Garcia and followed.

When they finally got home, Caitlyn complained about the baby's kicking and drank the mixture that Spencer had her drink every night and took her vitamins.
"Sit down." he said, sitting her on the bed and cleaning the wounds on her face, kissing each one of the tops and corners of her lips lightly. "If I didn't love you so much, I'd be so mad. I thought I was going to die."
"You thought you were going to die? Were you in that cell and I wasn't aware of it?" Caitlyn tried to joke.
"Caitlyn, if anything happened to you, I would die. I don't think you understand that. You are my world and you have another part of my life inside you." he stared into her.
"I'm sorry," she said as the young doctor took off her shoes and began to massage her feet, the agent giggled and pulled back.
"Very nice gesture, but you know I'm so ticklish. It's my back that's killing me." Caitlyn confessed.
"Well alight then." Spencer said, shutting off the lights, tucking Caitlyn into bed and snuggling behind her, gently kneading the small of her back.
"That feels good, thank you. I love you." she told him.
"I love you too." he responded, falling asleep with her pulled against him, hands on her stomach, feeling the kick of the life inside her.
