8 months later,

"Honey! We're home!" Charlie yelled as she walked through Alex and Jamie's apartment. JJ, Garcia and Reid following behind her.

"Good. Get me some water." Alex told her as she sat on the couch. She pulled her dress down a little more. Her stomach was huge and her feet propped up.

"Good to see you too Alex." Charlie mumbled. Reid walked into the kitchen to get her a bottle of water.

"Your dad caught the next plane. He should be here tomorrow, he had paperwork." JJ explained as she sat down next to Alex. Alex nodded and rubbed her stomach.

"How are you feeling?" Garcia asked, excited. Reid gave Alex the water and sat down next to Charlie.

"Fat. The pain is getting unbearable. These Braxton Hicks are killing me. One week left and I'm ready to get this baby out of me." She explained.

"It doesn't get better but it is worth it." JJ told her.

"Better be. Thank you for coming out for this." She smiled at them.

"We had a few weeks off call. It is worth it." Charlie explained.

"Did you know the longest pregnancy on record is 375 days? It's normally 280 days." Reid spat out random facts.

"Reid, I love you but shut the hell up." Alex told him.

"The baby can also hear your voice." He mumbled.

The girls let out a few laughs. Jamie stepped out of the bedroom, drying his hair. He was in an undershirt and his work pants and boots.

"Hey guys!" He smiled. He gave Alex a kiss. "I'm running late. It's my last day before paternity leave." He smiled, excited.

"Go! We got her!" Garcia said. She turned back to Alex. "Nursery done?" She asked.

"Yes and the 8,000 stuff animals you sent are in there too. Right through that door."

The girls stood up and peeked into the nursery. It was wood animal themed. The walls were painted with animals and woods.

"Nikki is a very talented artist. She painted the mural." Jamie mentioned behind them.

"It's beautiful." JJ commented.

"I got to go baby. Call me if anything happens." Jamie grabbed his keys and gave her another kiss.

"Be safe. I love you!" Alex yelled.

"I love you more!"

Three hours later, the girls were sitting on the couch watching The Notebook. Reid was asleep on the recliner.

"Shit." Alex mumbled holding her stomach. The girls looked to her with a questioning look. "Braxton Hicks. It's all good." They nodded.

A few minutes later, Alex hissed again.

"You do know that you have been groaning every five minutes, right?" JJ mentioned.

"What?" Alex questioned, standing up to get some chips. She turned to look at JJ.

"I've been timing you for the last hour. It was seven minutes and now it's five."

As if the timing couldn't be anymore perfect, the girls heard a splash on the ground. Alex looked down then back up with a scared look.

"I'll get the bag!" Garcia yelled.

"I'll call Jamie! JJ wake Reid up!" Charlie yelled, pulling out her phone.
