twenty two

"and just like that."

꧁☘︎︎♧︎☘︎︎♧︎☘︎︎꧂

after the conversation in the hospital with luke, you had made a full recovery and would be off the field for about two months. you were lucky spencer didn't tell emily to make it seven. although he seemed genuinely pissed at you he still cared about you, and you were thankful for a best friend like that.

spencer knew about your pregnancy; you didn't know what to do or who to tell. spencer can keep secrets, unlike garcia most times, and you decided he was a safe choice.

you took the first two weeks back at quantico off, wanting to put your stuff back in it's place and rest up, while relieving stress from the bonding trip and preparing for any attempt and scenario you could think of with cat and jules on the loose. it was sad that you and your sister had to battle like this but at the same time you really didn't have a choice—she hurt you, spencer, luke and the baby; people in your life who meant a lot more to you than she did.

your phone dings and it's spencer. he lets you know that there's a case and one of the team members are dropping a file off to you. you send a thumbs up and a thank you back, before putting your phone down.

yn: spencer we have to talk.
sr: not now y/n, not about that.
yn: spence we have to.
sr: i will take my apartment key back if you even think about what you're thinking about ...
yn: i will not hesitate to make garcia stalk you ...
sr: fine. we'll talk, when i get BACK FROM THE CASE.
yn: OKAY 👍🏽

spencer would yell through text to make you understand something. usually it didn't work but if it made spencer feel like he tried, you weren't taking it from him.

a faint knock at your apartment door snaps you out of your trance. you hear luna meow a little and smile as you pick her up. the pain of bending was getting a little better, and now you were pretty used to the feeling. holding her in your arms, you just unlocked and opened the door without looking for who it was.

"hi."

you let out a sigh of relief. "luke."

"y/n." he smiles slightly when he says your name, almost as if he hasn't spoken about you in years.

"don't you guys have to—?"

luke nods. "yeah, yeah, they do."

"then you should—wait, they do?"

"yeah, by orders of emily i'm to stay with you while they're gone. they don't want you alone."

you gave a confused look, then luke looked down af your stomach. you nodded getting the hint, and pulling him into your apartment. you place the file on the island and let luna get free roam of the place. you walk over to the other side of the island and grab some water. "you want anything luke? water, tea, coffee, ooh i have a bang in here hold on."

luke chuckles lightly at your choice of drink. "you laugh now, but when i drink one of these plus an espresso when i go back to the BAU, you'll wish you didn't laugh."

you take a sip and luke shakes his head at you. it was a silence surrounding you two but it was comfortable and was actually quite nice.

"have you talked to spencer?"

you shook your head. "i convinced him to talk to me when they come back though. so it's a step at least."

he nods and looks up. "did he know?"

"i'm not gonna lie to you, yes luke. spencer knew before you that i was pregnant. i didn't know what to do, i didn't know who to tell or where to go, and i didn't know how you would've taken it. i just got scared. i didn't think i would handle it so well."

luke smiles at you, a big smile that you had missed since the last time you saw him at the hospital in LA. "well you're perfectly capable of it y/n. you're strong, intelligent, you've defused just about any situation you've been thrown into, you were ready for it."

"yeah, i guess," you shrug. "i just didn't think i'd be ready so fast."

this was the first time you had talked to luke after the hospital a week and a half ago. while you would be returning to the BAU in two days, you still couldn't go on the field for two months. which meant you would be with garcia full time.

"so, what do we do now?"

luke shoots his head up, shocked by your question and phrasing. he contemplates it, and scrunches his eyebrows together. "i really don't know princesa."

you and luke are now closer, both figuratively and mentally. you had grown closer in trust and such as time went on and you had decided he wasn't terrible. but you were also now leaning across the island as luke leaned forward on his forearms.

"i'm scared," you nervously laugh.

"so am i," luke smiles.

"you think we could make it work?"

"i really hope so."

and just like that, you were now, officially, dating luke alvez. it was something that brought a thrilling feeling to your blood and made you smile widely at him. he returned the same smile.

"i love you y/n."

"i love you too luke."

you never thought that would happen.
