My First Love [Spencer Reid Fanfic - 1]

Chapter 66 - Lo-Fi

"The man visited by ecstasies and visions, who takes dreams for realities, is an enthusiast. The man who supports his madness with murder is a fanatic." - Voltaire

I entered JJ's office and noticed she had an unusual expression. "Hotch wants us in the conference room." I said as I glanced around the office.

She smiled at me. "I'll be there in a second."

"Is everything okay?" I asked as I sat across from her. "I don't mean to pry but you've been acting weird."

"I'm pregnant." She blurted out. "Please, don't tell anyone." Her blue eyes were filled with panic.

I widened my eyes and then smiled widely. "Congratulations, JJ!" I was really happy for her. "Everyone is getting pregnant."

"Who else is pregnant?" JJ scrunched her nose and then widened her blue eyes. "Are you and Reid..."

"No!" I shook my head frantically. "My sister is pregnant. Not me."

JJ smiled and then sighed. "I'm just freaking out. I never thought I'd be a mother."

"You're going to be a great mom. I mean, you're basically mothering us and you're the glue that holds the team together."

She stood up and walked up to me. "Do you mind if I hug you?"

"Not at all." She wrapped her arms around me and I smiled. JJ and I weren't as close but I felt like she was a great person and I cared about her.

Once we got to the conference room, Hotch seemed on edge. He was agitated. "Is everything okay, Hotch?" Morgan asked, concerned.

He pressed the remote and cleared his throat. "Last night a man was shot at an East Harlem subway. It's the fifth shooting in New York and the victims appear to be random."

"Are we looking for a vigilante?" I asked.

"It's too soon to tell, Porter. First, we must find a connection between the five victims and deliver an accurate profile." Hotch informed us. "We'll be working with Kate Joyner from the New York field office."

Rossi glanced at Hotch. "Isn't that the Scotland Yard agent?"

"Yes she is." Hotch grabbed some files. "Garcia, you're coming with us as well. We need you to access the surveillance cameras."

Garcias was stunned. "Yes, sir."

We started gathering our stuff and I winked at Garcia. "Congrats, P. You're going to the field." She looked terrified and that amused me.

We arrived at the New York field office and Hotch introduced us to everyone. "Hello Aaron!" A pretty blonde woman smiled at my boss and I was baffled.

Hotch smiled and shook her hand. "How are you, Kate? This is my team." He glanced at us. "SSA Rossi, Morgan and Prentiss." They all shook hands. "Drs. Reid and Porter." Spencer and I awkwardly waved. "Our Communications Liaisons Jennifer Jareau and Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia."

Agent Joyner smiled at me warmly. "I really enjoyed your paper on different types of psychopaths. It was groundbreaking."

"Thank you. I had no idea that paper was so popular." I was really flattered.

"I've already told Aaron that I might whisk you away from the BAU." She grinned and Hotch rolled his eyes.

The two of them walked to her office and I turned to JJ and Emily. "Is it just me or does she look exactly like Haley?"
