Daddy Loves You- A Criminal Minds Fanfiction

The Call

2 weeks after part 2

"Spencer... there's something I have to tell you."
Maeve had called Spencer, which was quite unusual. Spencer knew something was up.
"Yeah?" Spencer was worried. What if her stalker found her? What if she was in danger and it was all his fault?
"Spencer... I'm pregnant."
Reid froze. His hands started to shake and he got cold. He was only 23... he wasn't ready for this kind of responsibility. He was scared.
"Oh. My. Gosh."
Spencer heard Maeve sigh on the other end of the call. "It's not your fault, Spencer. Don't worry about it, we'll figure something out."
"I just... I don't know... did we..."
"Yeah, we did. But that's besides the point. Look... for our safety and the safety of this kid, they can't stay with me. It's too dangerous."
Reid froze. "So you're saying..." He knew. He knew what she meant. She meant that he would have to take care of the kid.
"Look, Spencer. I know you think it's a lot. But once the cops catch whoever's stalking me, I could take care of the child."
"Ok... I'm just still really confused and I don't know what to do or say or anything..."
"Yeah. Me neither. We kind of just have to wing it for now."
Spencer nodded. "Yeah." He looked at his watch. "Look, I gotta go to work now. We'll chat some other time, ok?"
"Ok. You're not mad, are you?"
"No, just surprised. And I see what you're saying, and I agree that I should take care of them."
"So... you will?"
Reid nodded. "Yeah."

That day at work, Reid broke the news. Everyone was shocked, surprised and excited. Especially Garcia.
"Oh... our boy genius is gonna be a dad? Oh my gosh. I can't believe it. Well, I can 'cause I am right now... but..."
"Ok, Garcia. We get it." Morgan said, laughing.
"Well Reid... if you have a girl..." Garcia started.
"Haha, you could call her Babygirl!" Morgan said, causing Reid to burst into laughter which he never thought he would feel.
