26~ Time For The Truth

Two days later
Today they are releasing Spencer from the hospital. He will be on crutches for about 4 weeks before he gets a brace. I've already set up the guest bedroom for him. I helped him into the wheelchair.

"You really shouldn't be helping me. The baby could get hurt." Spencer said

"I'm fine. Worry about you." I said

I wheeled him out to the car and helped him in. A nurse took the wheelchair and I climbed into the driver's seat. I drove to the house. When we got there, I helped him out and gave him his crutches. Once he was in the house, he sat down on the couch.

"Did you tell your dad yet?" Spencer asked

"No. I'm still not sure if I should tell him or not." I said

"You should tell him. He is your father after all."

"I know I just haven't come to the right time yet."

6 weeks later
Spencer can now drive again. He got his boot off. My stomach is starting to show a little but you still can't see through the clothes. I am back to working at the BAU since I can't perform. I am planning on telling everyone today. I put on my regular black pants, white tee and tennis shoes. When Spencer was ready, we drove off to the office. When we got there, I parked, got out, and went inside. Morgan, Rossi, JJ and Blake were there but I didn't see Prentiss.

"Nice to have both of you back." Rossi said

"It's nice to be back." I said

"Something's going on. Shouldn't you be with Jack preparing for your next performance?" Morgan said

"We don't have performances for the next 7 months." I said

"What's going on? I know something isn't right about this." Morgan narrowed his eyes at me

"Emily," dad said from behind me

I turned around. I followed him into his office.

"What's wrong?" He asked

"I found out a few days ago."  I said

"Found out what?" Dad asked

"I'm carrying Spencer's child. I'm 2 months in." I said

"Emily, why are you so afraid to tell us?" He asked

"I don't want the world to know I'm pregnant." I said. "With someone with a camera always following me around, it's not something I want to tell everyone."

"Emily, why are you so self conscious now? Is this all because of your career? Why do you feel you have to wear a mask that covers up who you are?"

"You don't understand." I said

"Explain. What is going on that you feel you have to wear this mask?" Dad asked as he sat down in his chair

Tears started to fall. Curse my hormones.

"What is it?" Dad asked. "You're 25 years old, talk to me."

I walked toward the door. I put my hand on the handle.

"I'm 26. My birthday was 3 weeks ago." I said before walking back to my desk

I grabbed my keys.

"Where are you going?" Spencer asked

"I'm not feeling so good." I said

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Spencer asked

"Yeah. I'll be okay. I'll call you if I need anything." I said

I walked out to my car and drove home.

Spencer POV
After Emily left, Hotch came out of his office.

"What did you say to her?" Blake asked

He looked angry. Angry at himself.

"Did anybody know Emily's 26th birthday was 3 weeks ago?" Hotch said

"How could we miss her birthday?" Rossi said

"Reid, I think you want to tell them the other half." Hotch said

Everyone looked at me.

"I'm a little curious, why is she not performing or dancing for 7 months?" Blake asked

"She's two months pregnant." I said. "We found out when I was released from the hospital."

"Congrats Reid." JJ said

"Let just hope she's not as sick as last time." I whispered

Emily POV-5 pm
I was lying on my bed. I had thrown up twice in the last 30 minutes. Spencer was done with his shift so I didn't even bother to call him. I heard the door slam shut.

"Emily!" Spencer yelled

"Up here!" I yelled

He came into the room and sat on the bed next to me.

"You okay?" He asked

"Not really. I'm just putting in a little note, this is my last one." I said

Spencer chuckled.

"You hungry?" He asked

"A little." I said

Spencer kissed my forehead and went downstairs.

7 months later
I woke up to my baby kicking. We decided to keep the baby gender a secret. Spencer wasn't beside me. I got up after a few tries and went downstairs. Spencer wasn't there. There was a note on the fridge.

I had to go to work. I know you're hungry so I made some breakfast before I left. Just warm it up. Blake said that she would be over at 10. I love you

I checked the time. 10 am. There was a knock on the door. I opened it. Blake came in.

"How are you?" Blake asked

"Tired." I joked. "I swear you have to have like superpowers or something to carry a baby."

Blake chuckled.

"I'll make breakfast, what do you want?" She asked

"Spencer said there was stuff in the fridge." I said. "I'm going to get dressed."

I went upstairs. I grabbed a gray, comfortable, cotton shirt and black maternity pants. I went back downstairs.

There was a plate of eggs on the counter. I felt a contraction. I winced and sat down.

"Are you okay?" Blake asked

"Yeah." I said

After I ate, I sat down on the couch.

"When's the baby due?" Blake asked as she cleaned up

"Tomorrow." I said

"Oh. Wow. It's getting close." She said

There was a knock on the door. Blake went and opened the door. Jack was standing there.

"Let him in." I said

Jack came in and sat on the table in front of the couch.

"How are you?" He asked

"I'm fine." I said

"Molly wants to start training after you have your baby but I told her no." Jack said

"I think we need a new agent." I said

Something felt wrong.
