Lost In The Fire | Spencer Reid

26. The Secret Garden

"Baby, are you nearly ready?" Spencer called loudly from the lounge as he pulled his suit jacket on and straightened the collar. When greeted with nothing but silence, he made his way through to the bedroom, where Becca was stood close to the mirror, putting in her earrings.

They locked eyes in the reflection and she smiled, turning to face him. "You ready?" He asked again. She made her way towards him, her hands straightening her dress.

"Yeah," she smiled, slipping her arms around his neck and pulling his face to hers, kissing him gently. "Or," she breathed against his lips. "We could just stay here," she giggled, her fingers moving gently down his spine.

"Uh uh," Spencer laughed, shaking his head slowly. "As much as I'm loving this recent surge of hormones, Rossi is throwing this party for you, we kind of have to go. Plus, we really need to tell everyone our news," he said softly, laying his hand against Becca's stomach. "It's killing Garcia having to keep it to herself," he smiled. "You look beautiful," he smiled. "The hormones suit you."

"Thank you, I think," she laughed. She took a step backwards, holding her hand out towards him. "Come on, let's go. The sooner we get there, the sooner I can get you home," she giggled, leading him from the apartment.

"Ah, my favourite lovebirds," Rossi laughed as he swung open the front door to his house, ushering Becca and Spencer inside. "Welcome to your 'we're so happy you're staying' party! Can I take your coats?"

"Thanks so much again for this Dave, no special occasion would be complete without a David Rossi party," Becca giggled as she shrugged off her coat and handed it to him.

"Just don't blame me for the hangovers tomorrow morning," he winked, Becca smiling as she felt Spencer's eyes on her. "There's drinks in the kitchen and the rest of the gang are out in the garden. I'll be right out," he smiled before turning and walking away.

Spencer smiled down at her, taking his hand in hers and leading her to the kitchen. Luckily, as Spencer often didn't drink, there was always non-alcoholic drinks at any gathering, so they both took a glass of juice before making their way out to the garden.

Becca laughed as she spotted Penelope and Emily on the dance floor set up on the lawn, Penelope singing along loudly using a hairbrush as a microphone. The rest of the team watched on from the veranda, talking and laughing amongst themselves. Becca paused, looking around her as she smiled.

"You ok?" Spencer asked softly. She nodded slowly.

"I love this bunch of weirdos," she laughed quietly. He smiled, gently squeezing her hand.

"And they love you. And I love you, and our baby will love you too," he told her quietly. She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with newly formed tears.

"Fucking hormones," she laughed.

"You ready to do this?" She took a deep breath, nodding nervously as they made their way towards the rest of the group.

"Here they are," Will grinned, his Louisiana drawl seeming even stronger after a few drinks.

"Hey," JJ smiled, making her way towards them and pulling Becca into a hug. "I'm so happy you're staying," she grinned, squeezing her tightly. The group quietened, hearing the clink of metal against glass. They turned to see Rossi coming towards them from the house.

"I know this is a party, and I won't bore you all for long," he smiled. "I want to welcome you all here on this special night, as we celebrate the expansion of our family." Becca bit anxiously at the inside of her cheek. Little did he know the news she and Spencer had for them all.
