"Hey, El... are you okay?" We were on yet again another case, this one in Alaska. Alaska was great and all, but the cold weather made me want to die just thinking about it. Like why was it fifty degrees in August?
"I'm fine." I clenched my stomach, holding onto the wall for extra balance. Emily, JJ, and I were at a local lodging place in town, waiting for Penelope to arrive while the guys went to one of the crime scenes. It's something we've seen before, a man in his forty hunting humans and blah, blah, blah.
"You don't look 'fine.'" I turned, Penelope's voice bringing an immediate smile to my face.
"Hey, Pen." I sent her a forced toothy grin, her lips curving down as she walked over to me.
"Babe, what happened? Did you get sho-" I put my hand over her mouth.
"Penelope, no. I didn't get shot. My stomach just hurts- it's probably my period or- Well, I don't know... something. I didn't get it last month, so maybe the cramps-" I was cut off by three synchronized gasps, my eyebrows knitting together. "What?" I laughed a bit, my hands stilling holding my stomach as I walked over to the couch.
"El, did you ever think that you could be-" I swallowed. The last time that I was pregnant was by accident just like... possibly this, and it didn't end very well. I closed my eyes at the thought, my palms digging into them.
"I-I don't think so-" I started stuttering, everyone sharing a similar look then sending me small smiles. Penelope closed her computer, grabbing my hand as Emily and JJ slung their bags around them.
"We can go to the store with you to get a test." I looked down, smiling at the brown carpeted floor before I looked back up.
"Okay." That's all I needed to say, everyone huddling around me but stopping when the guys walked in.
"Shit." We all turned to Penelope, trying our bests not to laugh. After a few seconds Spencer's eyes caught mine, a thick lump going down my throat as he skipped over.
He threw his arms around me, mine still on the bottom of my stomach as he kissed my head. "You okay?" He held my face in his hands, searching my eyes for a tell, but I didn't give him one to find. I smiled.
"Yeah, just-" I looked to Emily, her face frozen as she stared back at me. "Cramps." He nodded, grabbing my hand and kissing it.
"There's a store down the street, maybe the girls will go with you to get some Advil or something. If not I can stay and get you some." I slowly nodded, leaving a soft kiss on his lips and telling him it was okay, finally grabbing the girls and running out the door.
"I just lied to him!" I practically screamed when we walked outside, the girls shaking their heads as JJ wrapped her arm around my shoulder.
"I remember the first time I got pregnant. I was really scared, almost too scared to tell anybody." I didn't reply, just falling into her touch before we stopped in front of a large brick building.
"Well, are we getting Advil and a Plan b, or Pampers and a pregnancy test?" I giggled, Emilys words lightening the mood as I swallowed sharply.
"You know," I looked down, my head turning some as I looked at my close to flat stomach. If I was pregnant, for how long? "I think I'm gonna do this." Everyone slightly cheered, the noise bringing a slight red color to my cheeks as I walked through the sliding doors.
Here goes nothing.

"What's it say?" The girls were leaned against my stall, my half naked body sat with my legs pushed tightly together as I stared down at the pink and white lined stick.
"I'm-" I was thoughtless, whispers heard outside the wooden door as they waited for me to say more. "I'm pregnant." I dropped the stick, my hand going to my mouth. There's a thing inside of me- what the fuck.
When I walked out of the stall I stood frozen, everyone's faces excited except mine. I know Spencer wanted to have children, and believe me... I'd do anything for him, but did I even really want to carry a child? I mean it is a big responsibility-
"Do you think it's a girl or a boy?" I was cut out of my trance, putting on yet again another fake smile and simply grinning as I looked up at my beautiful best friends.
"A girl. Spencer wants a girl..." I didn't even hear the words that were coming out of my mouth, the noise just leaving me as I washed my hands and walked out of the bathroom. I had the stick wrapped in a napkin, the plastic gripped in my hand tightly as I walked back to the hotel. I couldn't hear anything anybody else was saying, the only thing audible being the voice in my head.
You're really going to be a mother? How can you take care of a child when you can barely take care of yourself? Having a child isn't like a dog, El. It's much more than that. You have to change it, feed it, bathe it...
The door.
