Unexpected Connections | Spencer Reid

Congratulations

When Annie told me she moving I thought my heart would be a little more broken but, we haven't spent much time together since she started dating her newest boyfriend. They got married in Vegas two months ago and she just now told me. I didn't tell her I was pregnant, I knew deep down that I would likely never see Annie again but I will always hold a deep love for her.

"Okay, do you think she'll wear it?" I hold up a white shirt that says "Godmother" on it, Spencer laughs.

"I think if it was a V-neck she would," He jokes and turns his attention back into his book. Spencer and I haven't told anyone the news yet, so my gift to Emily is an announcement for everyone. I play the shirt in the bag and then set a bottle of wine on top of it, it had a note that reads "drinks for us both?" attached. I think she'll like it. Spencer insisted on Derek being the Godfather, I couldn't agree more because Spencer can't throw a ball with our son. We don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet but, I know it's a boy, I have a feeling.

"You ready now?" Spencer asks me just as I finish wrapping up Derek's little box with his "Godfather" shirt inside.

"Yep!" I smile at him and pull my coat on, i'm wearing a tight fitting shirt that way when I take it off you'll be able to see my tiny little baby bump. I'm 13 weeks today, 3 months in simpler terms.

It's time for our monthly dinner at Rossi's, only this time I know I'm pregnant and cannot drink.

"Why do you have presents?" Rossi say as we walk through the door, Spencer tells him we just have some thank you gifts for Emily and Derek for helping us with something at the house, a complete lie.

Thankfully Emily and Derek are talking to each other at the kitchen island.

"Everyone come over here," Spencer waves in JJ and Hotch. Rossi furrows his brow and I had Emily and Derek each their present.

"I love wine, what is this for?" Emily laughs and looks and derek who is ripping up the box I just gave him.

"Read the note,"

"Drink for us both, huh?" She looks at me confused and then gives the same look to Spencer.

"Oh my gosh," I hear JJ gasp behind us. I take my jacket off and place my hands on my little bump.

"Oh my god you're pregnant!" She yells and almost chucks the wine bottle at the wall before hugging me.

Derek holds his shirt up and smiles at Spencer, he reaches in Emily's bag and then coughs.

"Godmother? What does- OH! Oh my god!" She takes the shirt and holds it up to her body.

"We were hoping you'll both be his godparents?" I smile at them both and they're just beaming back at us. Emily is profusely nodding her head in excitement.

"It's a boy?" Derek asks and Spencer is quick to shut it down.

"She thinks it's a boy, we don't know yet." He goes to hug Derek and JJ gives me a hug.

"Congratulations! Being a mom is life changing, in a good way. You'll love it." She pats my back and even Hotch is smiling at me.

"Congratulations Clara, you and Reid will make great parents." This is the first time I've ever received a hug from Aaron Hotchner.

Penelope is almost in tears when I see her standing behind me waiting for a hug.

"This baby is already so spoiled," I think she may the most excited. Rossi is patting Spencer on the back when I look over at them.

"How far along are you?" JJ hands me a glass of water and I pray she doesn't remember me drinking last month.

"13 weeks today." I smile at her and she nods her head.

"Is the morning sickness gone?" She makes a face as if she is recalling the feeling.

"Today was the first day I didn't wake up vomiting so I hope so," I kind of chuckle and then kinda of sigh at the thought of how much longer I'm going to be pregnant, as JJ tells me everything I get to look forward to.

"Wait, what does this mean for the wedding?" Penelope sits down at the table with us as Rossi sets his famous pasta down on the surface.

"Well i'm due in May, which means the possibility of a July wedding is possible." I smile at her and Emily chimes in quickly

"I'll hold mini genius, the entire time."  She smiles and Derek points at her demanding he holds the "mini genius" too.

"You think he'll be a genius?" I turn to Spencer and mumble the question, Spencer smiles at me.

"The baby will be unstoppable, with my smarts and your looks, the world better be ready." He kisses my forehead and I smile.

I hope the baby's head isn't huge, I'm just remembering the fact I have to push this thing out of my body. It's times like this i wish I didn't work in the pediatric unit.

Penelope and I talk nursery and wedding all night long, I put it in the back of mind to talk about this later with Spencer because I think if we're having a baby and getting married maybe we should buy a house.

I actually think about all night long until we're back at the apartment.

"I think we should look at houses." I spit out as we walk through the door, Spencer taking my coat and hanging it up for me.

"Okay," He nods at me and walks to the kitchen to place Rossi leftovers in the fridge.

"Okay? You're not going to tell me why we shouldn't?" I lean against the counter.

"I think we should buy a house too, this place obviously isn't big enough for us, let alone a us plus a baby," Spencer pulls his phone out and swipes through a few things before turning it to me. "I've been looking actually," My heart melts.

"Fuck you, Spence." I fan my face as tears drip from my eyes. Fuck these pregnancy hormones.

"Why are you crying Clare?" Spencer gives me a pathetic smile and wipes my tears from across the counter.

"Because you were already looking at houses and I didn't even have to ask." I cry harder and he laughs at me, coming around the counter to give me a hug.

"Do you like it?" He picks his phone up and I nod. It's a nice grey house with white trim and one of those cute black metal fences in the front yard. The inside is super nice too, the wooden floors are great shape and all the walls are already white so we'll be able to paint them easily if we want. There's 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. And the cherry on top? There's a in-ground pool in the backyard. It's perfect.

"I think it's perfect Spence." I grin up at him and he kisses my lips. I step back and put my hands around my belly.

"Do i look super pregnant yet?" I joke with him and he just has a big smile on his face.

"So pregnant."

Did I ever mention how incredibly hot Spencer is? Like i'm staring at him right now and I feel like a feral animal.
