SUNSHINE - (S.R) Criminal Minds

2-The Trip

Maggie Pullman's trial was over. Audrey helped her win of course. But the thing Audrey was most excited about was that it was over. It had been three weeks since the dinner with Derek Morgan and Savanah. After that night, Audrey had been feeling... funny.

It was the day after the case ended and Audrey was buzzing with excitement because today, she'd get to go pick up Charlie.

Audrey got pregnant with Charlie when she was twenty-one. It was before she and Spencer got married. Three weeks after Charlie was born, they got married at the courthouse. They never had a big wedding but deep down Audrey really wanted one. She told herself that it was okay and she didn't need it. She was just happy that she was with the love of her life.

After sixteen hours of excruciating labor on February 19th, Charlie Reid was brought into the world. Audrey was drenched in sweat and Spencer held a cold washcloth to her forehead. "You did so good, Audrey."

She took a second to breathe. "Let's get married." She blurted. Spencer widened his eyes and gulped.

"What?" He blinked.

Audrey swallowed nervously but then smiled. "You and me. Let's get married. You can fly your mom down here, bring Gideon or Hotch or Elle or Morgan. I don't care I just know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Spencer dropped the washcloth she was holding and grabbed onto her hands.

"I can't believe you just asked me to marry you." He shook his head. Audrey's smiled dropped and she became worried.

"You don't want to marry me?" She asked, starting to tear up.

Spencer placed one of his hands on her cheek. "Oh! I do. I really do but I can't believe you beat me to asking." He chuckled. Audrey let out it a breath of relief. "I don't have a ring. I'm sorry." He told her.

"It doesn't matter." She shook her head as Spencer pressed his forehead against hers. "I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you." She whispered. It was like a chant. She was cut off when a nurse came back with their baby.

The nurse smiled at the couple. "Here comes baby...?"

Audrey smiled and held her arms out for him. "Charlie Jason Reid." She breathed out. The middle name Jason came from Gideon. Spencer learned so much from that man he just had to keep him in his life no matter what. The nurse smiled and handed the baby to Spencer who then transferred him to Audrey. "Oh, he's so cute." She smiled as tears stung her eyes.

He already had a lot of hair, probably because of Spencer. "He looks just like you," Spencer whispered, brushing his fiancée hair back, away from her forehead.

The new mother smiled as Charlie wrapped his small hand around Spencer's finger. He smiled lovingly at the newborn but then remembered something. "I uh... I made Morgan turn on the sirens and drive me here. I think I should go explain to my team what happened." Audrey nodded and Spencer kissed her slowly.

When he separated from her, he touched Charlie's nose softly and smiled. He waved at the baby before leaving the room. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and pressed his lips together when he saw his whole team standing there with confusion written all over their faces.

"Spence, what just happened," JJ asked.

The doctor bit his lip and shuffled over to them. "My son was just born." He told them as nonchalantly as he could. Morgan almost completely fell over and JJ widened her eyes, placing her hand on her chest.

Garcia was frozen in shock and Hotch and Gideon just stood there looking even more confused. "Kid, you didn't think to tell us that Audrey was pregnant!?" Morgan almost yelled.
