Sunday Finnegan is the definition of chaotically detailed. She is powered by coffee thanks to her addiction of reading smutty books till 3am, cheerfully goofy and optimistic to a fault.
She's fresh out of Quantico and already has her first big girl...

"You did this to me..." I groan over the trashcan outside our office. We haven't even made it in this morning before my morning sickness took over.
"I'm sorry." Spence says apologetically with a smile as he rubs my back. Another wave of nausea hits me as I throw up once more.
The moment my stomach settles we make our way inside. I was excited for today Penny and Derek are coming back from their trip to London to see Emily. I've missed them terribly, but also the hormones have made me super emotional about everything.
Especially after Emily moved overseas. That was a tough pill to swallow. After everything between us, it stung to have her leave us again. At least this time no fake deaths had to happen. I was at least thankful for that.
Keeping this pregnancy a secret until the second trimester has been harder than I anticipated. Between my morning sickness that really came at any time of day, and my utterly weird cravings. But mostly the emotional mess that I've been, for example I instantly started crying when I saw a stray dog wandering the streets of Seattle in our last case. You can imagine the looks of concern coming my way as I tried to fight for my life to think of an excuse for my hysterics.
I'm pretty sure Hotch and JJ are on to me. Of course they haven't said anything, respecting my decision to keep this a secret until I feel ready to share the news. It's not that I don't want everyone to know, but after everything that happened with our sweet Angel. I just can't....theres a fear underneath all my happiness that something might happen again and take our little blueberry from me. Don't worry Dr. Carver has been working overtime to ease my mind about it. She even tells me it's normal to feel like the other shoe is gonna drop after experiencing a loss like ours.
Spence and I are walking hand in hand to our desk when I hear Pen's voice shout across the bullpen in a British accent. "Sunday Talulla Reid!"
I turn around to see Penny in full Union Flag attire as we run to one another before hugging each other as we bounce in excitement. My stomach already starting to turn from the movement. I pull away to get a better look at her.
"Is it possible you got more beautiful after I left? Jesus you're glowing like an ethereal fairy from one of your slutty books!" She exclaims making my cheeks heat in a blush. "Here...for my bestie!" She hands me a British tea gift box. I roll my eyes teasingly. Derek pulls me into a hug the moment Pen lets me go.
"Funny, bringing up my traumatic experience without coffee."
JJ turns the corner with a smile, "Hi! Hey! You guys are back!" She comes to give Pen a big hug than Derek.
"How is Emily doing?" Spence questions looking between the two of them.
"Brilliant and lovely!" Pen keeps her British accent as she speaks.
"Her apartment is off the chain." Derek says trying to get a fist pound from Spence but he holds Derek's fist giving it a shake and making D laugh.
"You mean her flat." Pen corrects him, "You have to take a shaky old lift to get to the top, but the view is brilliant. For my favorite bloke." She hands Spence a mug with The Union Flag. I'm a little jealous he gets a mug. I also start to tear up watching him get a gift and seeing how excited he was for it.
