Moving Forward

Part 90

Spencer Reid's POV

"Daaaddyyyy!"

I wake up as I hear Jaeden and Hope calling me. I bet Oliver is awake as well.

"I'm coming!" I yell back.

I yawn and I rub my eyes. I take my phone to see what time it is: 8:30... Oh my God! I'm late to work! I jump out of the bed and I rush to dress up. As I button up my shirt and zip my pants, I run to the kids' bedroom. I help them to dress and I help them to brush their teeth. As I brush mine, the kids run away, laughing, and hide in the house.

"C'mon! We're already late! Where are you?"

I look around and I hear them laughing. They're hiding under the guest room's bed. I pretend that I didn't hear them.

"Where are you?"

I look under the sheets.

"Not there."

I look in the wardrobe.

"Not there either."

And I finally look under the bed.

"I found you!"

They scream and laugh as they see me. I start tickling them. They beg me to stop, so I stop.

"Hey! Are you hungry?"

They all nod.

"We're gonna pick something up on our way to work, okay?" 

"We can have donuts?" Oliver asks.

"Of course, we can!"

Once we finish brushing our teeth, we get downstairs and I help the kids to put on their coat and their boots. Once we're all ready, we walk to the SUV. I buckle the kids in their car seat and I sit behind the steering wheel. Once I buckle my seat belt, I receive an SMS from Derek.

"Hey, kid. Where are you? Are you sick or something? Is everything okay? You're almost 2 hours late!"

Within a second, I type back.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. My alarm didn't sound. I'm heading to work right now, but I'm picking something to eat on our way. I'll be there in a few minutes."

Jennifer Jareau' POV

I get woken up by a wave of nausea. I run to the bathroom to throw up. Emily hears me.

"JJ! Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine! Don't worry!"

Once I'm feeling decent again, I get up and walk to Emily's bedroom. I knock before entering.

"Good morning, Honey. How are you?" I say, taking out her medicine.

"Good. Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, it was only morning sicknesses. How long have you been awake?"

"Not a long time. It has been like 20 minutes."

"Oh, okay."

I take her glass and walk to the bathroom to fill it with water. I come back to her room and I give her the glass of water with her medicine.

"Thanks," she says, taking it.

She swallows it and gives me back the glass.

"What do you want for breakfast?"

"I don't know... Whatever, it's okay."

"Oh, and your doctor will probably be there for 10am. So I have the time to make your breakfast and you have the time to eat it, then she'll probably be there."

"Okay."

I get down and I walk to the kitchen. I open the fridge and I pick out some fruits and yogurt. I put yogurt in a bowl, then I add some berries and banana pieces. I also add some mango pieces and some cereals. I walk back to Emily's bedroom and I give her her bowl. Then we eat, watching TV. Once she's finished eating her breakfast, I take both our plates and clean them in the kitchen before going back upstairs.

"When your doctor will be gone, do you wanna start thinking about your daughter's room?"

"Yes, of course. We could look together online for the things I need, because when Oliver grew up, I got rid of his baby stuff because I didn't think I'd get pregnant so I have nothing for this little girl," she answers, pointing her belly and doing little circles on it with the tip of her fingers.

"That's fine! I will pick up my laptop and we will comfortably check for some stuff. And don't worry about the price, Dave said he will deal with it, just take what you need!"

I hear the bell rings. 

"It must be your doctor. I'll leave you alone with her and I will take a bath while you're with her."

"That's okay."

I get downstairs and I open the door.

"Hi! You must be Emily's doctor?"

"Yeah, you can call me Sophia. And you are?"

"Jennifer, I'm taking care of Emily."

"Nice to meet you, Jennifer!"

"Me too," I answer, shaking her hand.

"Is Emily in her bed?"

"Yeah, she's upstairs, in her bedroom. Follow me."

I close the door and we walk upstairs, I'm surprised by the fact that I'm breathless once upstairs.

"Are you okay?" Sophia asks.

"Yes, fine. It's only the pregnancy... Phew..."

"You're pregnant too?"

"Yeah, 7 weeks."

"Congratulation!"

"Thank you!"

Once I catch my breath, I show Emily's room to Sophia and she enters. I walk to the guest room to take some clothes and I get in the bathroom. I fill the bath with hot water, but not too hot, though. I take off my pajama and I notice my belly. It has started to grow and my pregnancy starts to get noticeable. I can't help but rub it like I used to do while pregnant with my twins. I then get in the hot water and let myself relax.

Emily Prentiss' POV

"So, how're you doing?" Sophia asks me.

"Okay. I don't especially like being bedridden, but you know, I do it for my daughter."

"Yeah, I understand. Did you have any pain since you got home?"

"No, not at all. Sometimes, I feel like something's pulling down in my stomach, but that's all."

"That's normal, it's because of your baby's weight and gravity, but it's okay. Also, did you have any bleeding from your vagina?"

"No, nothing happened since I'm in bed. Everything's fine. I'm a bit bored, but that's all."

"Okay, then let's check on you and your daughter. I'll start by taking your blood pressure and your heart rate."

She checks everything she needs to check.

"Okay, so your heart rate and your blood pressure are a bit low, but it's nothing to worry about, the same thing with your daughter, but it's okay. Wanna see her?"

I nod and I pull up my t-shirt to let her put some gel on my belly. She passes the probe over it and she shows me a little screen.

"Here she is. Her head is down, so she'll be okay at birth."

I can't help but shed a few tears. I quickly wipe them away. Sophia wipes away the gel.

"So, I'll see you next week. If there's anything, here's my number," she says, giving me her business card.

"Thank you!"
