"Ugh, I just want this to be over!" you complained, rubbing your ever-growing baby bump.

Spencer looked up from his book and smiled sweetly at you. "It will soon enough, I promise."

You rolled your eyes.

"It's already March 21. April 16 isn't far off."

You scoffed. "What? The great Spencer Reid can't calculate the difference between the two dates?"

Spencer smirked. "26 days. I was trying not to be a show-off. Plus, I've been working on seeming more conversational by not always throwing out relevant numbers."

"Aww," you cooed. "At least you're trying."

25 days later

"Fuck. Uh, SPENCER?"

"Yep?" Spencer casually replied, poking his head into the bathroom.

"What's today's date?"

"He's not due for another... oh. I'll get the bag!"

Moments later you were packed in the car and headed to the hospital.

"How are you doing?" Spencer asked. He was trying to keep his voice calm but clearly, he was nervous.

"I'm fine, Spence. Relax. The contractions are pretty far apart. Everything's alright."

"Why are you so calm right now?" Spencer said, the panic evident in his voice. "A HUMAN is about to come OUT OF YOU!"

You laughed. "Spence, I need you to focus on driving, okay?"

Spencer nodded quickly.

. . .

"AHHH! I JUST WANT THIS TO BE OVER ALREADY!" you yelled.

Spencer squeezed your hand assuringly and looked into your eyes. "It will be over soon enough. I promise."

You squeezed your eyes shut and groaned.

"You got this. I love you so much. You're doing amazing. You're already at 9 centimeters so statistically, you're past the-"

You exhaled laboriously. "Spence. Not the time for numbers!"

Spencer was about to respond when you screamed.

"Okay, we're at ten!" the nurse cried.

A wave of excitement hit Spencer. "We're gonna be parents. You ready?" he asked anxiously.

"I'm ready for this to be over!" you repeated.

"Well ready or not you're gonna have to push for me, darling," the nurse said.

20 minutes and a lot of swearing and crying later you got to hold Christopher y/l/n Reid for the first time.

"Oh my god. Spence. We- we're parents. We're really parents!" you whisper yelled.

"I know!" he whispered back.

"He's the most beautiful thing on the planet!" you cooed. "Hi! Hi baby! Daddy and I are gonna take good care of you, you know that?"

Spencer bent over and kissed you on the top of your head. "I love you both so much."
