so just a quick note, i'm working on an emily oneshot but its gonna be pretty long so this one is going to be a relatively quick one. enjoy!
I fidgeted in my seat, my eyes flitting out the window, hoping to catch sight of the BAU team's jet. I picked at my nail beds, not noticing the small beads of blood that were staining my jeans. Every 10 seconds or so, I reread the message that had pinged my phone a few minutes ago.
hot stuff - we're here bubba see you soon <3
I smiled a little at the digital heart I had received, though the small spark of happiness was stamped out by the overwhelming worry that poisoned the usual excitement I felt whenever the team came back from an assignment.
hot stuff - i see you bubs
I looked up and swung my head around, scanning the crowd for a brown chocolate egg.
"Got you!"
A shriek left my body and I'm sure a bit of my soul left with it as a pair of muscly arms flung themselves around my shoulders.
"You're going to give her a heart attack one day you know," said Emily as she walked past us. JJ tapped me on the shoulder as she peered into the sea of people around us.
"Have you seen Will?"
I pointed to the food court. "He's getting us some food."
JJ smiled and pat me on the back before heading off to meet her beloved as the rest of the team followed her in search of sustenance.
I hugged Derek and sighed against his chest, finally letting most of the tension leave my body. He held my hands and smoothed his thumb over my picked-at nail beds.
"What's wrong?" he said against my forehead.
"I need to tell you something," I whispered. My voice was lost as Derek laughed at the yelling Reid who was beckoning us from across the hall. I let him pull me towards the team, momentarily forgetting about the troubles that plagued my mind.
---
Derek sat down with a tray of food, pushing my usual order (orange chicken and fried rice) towards me. I pushed it back to the center of the table, irritated for no reason and hungry for something else.
Derek raised his eyebrows and looked at me. "Bubs? You never refuse Panda Express. This plus your nails is starting to worry me."
"Shut up Morgan and stop profiling me," I snapped. Immediately a flood of regret rushed in as I looked at his hurt expression. Tears started pouring out my eyes as I sobbed into the cheap paper of food court napkins.
"Woah woah woah. What happened Y/N?" He had rushed to my side and was kneeling next to me, his arms wrapped around my shoulders.
I looked at him, my heart breaking at how I had snagged such a wonderful boyfriend.
"Don't get mad."
"You know I'd never get mad at you bubba. Tell me what happened. Was it that bastard Rob at work again? I swear, one of these days I'm gonna shove a broom up his as-"
"No, no, it wasn't Robert. He hasn't bothered me since the last time you spoke to him. It's something else."
I twisted at the fabric of my shirt, stalling for time. Finally, I blurted out the words.
"I'm pregnant."
I looked at Derek, searching his face for any emotion, anything at all. He was silent as he looked at me, his eyes wide in shock.
"I-if you don't want the baby then I can always-"
"OH MY GOD WE'RE PREGNANT! I'M A DAD! Y/N! YOU'RE PREGNANT! I-WE HAVE A CHILD! THERE'S A LITTLE BOY OR GIRL INSIDE YOU!"
I was still in shock when Derek set me down, his hands shaking as he kissed me viciously all over my cheeks and forehead.
"Muah. Muah. Muah. God I never thought I could love you more but this- this-"
"You're not mad?"
Derek furrowed his eyebrows as he smiled at me and rubbed my tummy. "Mad? Why would I ever be mad?"
"I thought maybe you didn't want a baby, maybe you didn't want such a big commitment," I said in a small voice. The shock of his reaction still resonated in my body as he pulled me tight against him and whispered in my ear.
"I love you Y/N. No matter what."
"HOLY FUCK Y/N YOU'RE PREGNANT AM I THE GODFATHER? CAN I BE THE GODFATHER?"
I flinched and glared at Spencer who was running around giddily and spouting off random pregnancy facts.
"Did you know that there's something called Couvade Syndrome where the partner of a pregnant woman also undergoes symptoms of pregnancy?"
"Uh, no I did not know that."
I laughed, relieved that the pressure of breaking the news to Derek had been released and that I was finally able to feel unburdened.
I rested my head against Derek's shoulder, smiling in bliss as the team chattered and Garcia screeched over the phone that she called dibs on being the fairy godmother of our child.
"I love you Derek."
"I love you too Y/N."
