can't help falling in love- spencer reid

thirty three

a/n: this takes place when evelyn is 9 months.

"good morning, sleepyhead." spencer says from the couch as she comes downstairs, rubbing her eyes. spencer had begun to stay the night at her house, every night since she was so close to her due date. of course she didn't mind, she was glad he was so involved. "you'd be tired too if you had a human inside you, kicking you all night long."  she says, sitting next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder. spencer laughs softly. "he wants out" spencer says. they had decided to not throw a gender reveal party, just finding out together. "don't say that i'm not ready for labor." she half jokes. spencer laughs, kissing her cheek. "at least this time you won't be alone." he says. evelyn nods "yea that's true, that was miserable." she laughs. evelyn and spencer talked for hours, glad they didn't have a case. they soon migrated to the kitchen, evelyn looking in the fridge for something to eat. spencer comes up behind her, wrapping her arms around her, picking up her stomach to take the weight off of her back. it had been something he did frequently, almost every time she stood up and evelyn was grateful. "please never let go." she says softly, spencer laughs softly. "i'll have to let go eventually, we can't just stay her for forever." he says in her ear, kissing her cheek. "yes we can." evelyn says, leaning back into him. spencer laughs, the fridge beeping, signaling it had been open for too long. "shut up." evelyn says. spencer laughs again, carefully letting go of her stomach. evelyn whines "no do it again." she says. "later." he says, kissing her softly and walking back to the couch. she groans, closing the fridge. "i'm gonna take a shower." evelyn says walking upstairs. "you can't come i'm mad at you." she calls from upstairs, hearing spencer get up to follow her. "okay fine." spencer laughs, laying back down on the couch. about 15 minutes later evelyn comes back. "why are you dressed up." he asked as evelyn laid next to him, being the little spoon. "i wanted to feel pretty and put together." she says. "you're always pretty. no matter what." spencer says. "thanks." evelyn laughs. she turns on the tv, flipping through channels, wincing slightly. "are you okay?" spencer asks, worriedly. "yea, just braxton hicks." she said. "are you sure?" spencer asks, not convinced. "no." she says simply. "what do you mean?" he says, sitting up. "well there was this sound that sounded like water hitting the floor, but i was in the shower so that's normal, right?" evelyn says nonchalantly. "evelyn what the hell." spencer exclaims, getting up. "what?" she says confused. "you're having a baby. like right now. you're in labor." spencer says, running around. "no, it's just braxton hicks. i'm not due for another two weeks." she says. "babies can be born early" spencer says. evelyn groans, getting up. "fine let's go. will you put my shoes on for me?" she asks. spencer puts on her shoes before walking out, the hospital bag already in the car. spencer drives to the hospital, evelyn wincing every few minutes. "it's braxton hicks." she says when spencer glances at her. once they got to the hospital he took her in, evelyn being admitted and checked out. "you are indeed in labor. congratulations." the doctor says. "you're at about 4 cm, i'll be checking in every 15 minutes, but call me using the button on the remote if you need anything." the doctor says, walking out. "told you." spencer says, smirking softly. "oh shut up." evelyn says, texting the BAU group chat 'baby time'. "oh my god." penelope says. everyone else was at work, but emily was lieutenant with spencer and evelyn with baby duty if they didn't have a case. "what?" luke says, following penelope from where the coffee was to the bullpen. "did you see evelyn's text?" penelope asks the rest of them. "no, why?" emily asks. "she's in labor. boy genius is about to be a dad" she says, the team jumping up and rushing out. once they got there they met spencer in the lobby. "how is she, is the baby here yet?" penelope asks as they walk in, hugging spencer. "she's okay, she's currently scrolling through social media, and no, the baby isn't here yet. but almost, she's at 8 cm." spencer says. "oh my god, our very own boy genius is going to be a dad." penelope says. "congrats, spence." jj says, smiling softly. they talked for a little while longer before spencer goes back to evelyn. "oh good, i was just about to go get you. it's time." the doctor says.

"it's a boy!" spencer exclaims, coming out. "oh my goodness!" penelope exclaims. "congratulations." emily smiles, hugging him tightly. "oh that's weird, spence is a dad." jj says. "but a very good weird." rossi pipes up. "yes, of course." jj says. "so when can we see the mini genius?" rossi asks. "right now, but only two people can go in at a time." spencer says. "oh me first! me first!" penelope exclaims, everyone laughing. "okay. jj?" spencer says, jj nodding. the three of them walk to the room, evelyn smiling as the walked in. "oh my god he's a literal copy of you, spence." jj says. "he may look like spence, but he's definitely already a mama's boy." evelyn says. "oh that's so precious." penelope says. "congrats you two." she continues. "do you wanna hold him?" evelyn asks spencer. spencer immediately nods, pulling up a chair and sitting next to her. evelyn carefully hands the baby to spencer, his face immediately lighting up. "hi. i'm your dad." spencer says softly to the baby, evelyn's heart melting. things were finally starting to get back to normal.
