We do be back on the grind... a bit... A few new books and a few new chapters. HERE WEEEE GOOOO a requestio
Derek and I hadn't meant for anything like this to happen. We had slept together one time, one single time. I guess that was all it took. A month and a half later I found out that I was pregnant. I didn't really know what to do. I was a bit anxious about what everyone would do. I didn't want to injury myself or he child, so I chose to talk to Hotch. He was in a meeting when I went to his office. So I sat back and waited for him. When Hotch walked in and saw him he was confused. I stood up and looked at him.
"Hotch, I have to request to be taken off the field team... for at least a year" I said and looked at him. Hotch looked at me and shook his head.
"Why? You're one of the best on the team, I would be crazy to bench you" Hotch said and looked at me. I sighed and pulled the file out of my bag and handed it to hi. He looked at it and then looked at me.
"Who's the woman?" He asked and stood up "and why do you need to take off for your partner?" He asked not getting it
"It's my file.... It's rare but possible... so please... I need a year" I said. Hotch nodded and handed it back to me
"A year... congrats Reid" He said to me smiling. I nodded and turned leaving. I saw derek and Emily looking a me. I walked past them going to my desk. I slid the file into my desk and started to work. The next few weeks weren't the best. It had gotten had on the team, but I couldn't help. When I was around five months along I had to go on bed rest. I told only Hotch again. I worked from home and would be on call when they needed to pick my head. Derek kept trying to get a hold of me, but I would say I was busy. Everything was going perfectly fine until I was seven months pregnant. The baby hadn't moved for a few days, they'd moved down and just stopped.
Today was like every other day. Then there was knocking. I sighed a bit and walked to the door. Derek was standing there.
"Finally, now we can Ta-" he started before looking down with wide eyes. He looked at me and frowned
"What happened to you?" He asked. I sighed and moved letting him in. I then lead him to the nursery I had set up. Derek followed annoyed. He then saw nursery and froze in the hall. I sat in the rocking chair and frowned. Derek looked at me and frowned.
"You're pregnant?" He asked me. I nodded and sat back. I gently rubbed my stomach and sighed. Derek looked at me and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Is it mine?" He asked and frowned a bit. I looked up at him and nodded.
"It would have to be... You're the only one I slept with... who could have caused it" I said and shrugged a bit. Derek nodded and looked at me. He thought then looked at me.
"Seven months? Roughly?" He asked and looked at me. I nodded and rubbed my stomach. I got up slowly and frowned. I wined slightly and sighed.
"What? What's wrong?" He asked and looked at me. I sighed and gently took his hand setting it on my stomach. I felt the baby kick right under his hand. Derek looked at me and smiled slightly at me.
"It's already a strong little kid" he said and smiled softly. I nodded and sighed
"yeah, its cool until he kicks non stop..." I said and rubbed my stomach. Derek paused and looked at me.
"He? You know the gender?" He asked me. I shook my head and shrugged.
"Statistically they have to be a male" I stated and walked to the kitchen. I froze when I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I frowned a bit and shook my head slightly.
"Reid... I want to help you... and our kid... please" he said and frowned. I looked up at him and nodded a bit.
"of course... I would enjoy your help" I said and smiled. I looked at him as he walked closer. He looked at his phone and sighed a bit.
"I need to go to work..... but I'll come back after work" he promised and smiled at me. I nodded and let him go. The next hours played out very slowly. I was in labor, there was no doubt about it. I got a call from the team saying that they were taking off, Hotch had been calling to inform me every time. I answered just contraction ended.
"Hey spencer, we're going out... Texas again. We'll be there in a few hours. So we'll all you in a few if we need you" Hotch said. I could tell that they were on speaker. I was about to answer before I felt a gut wrenching pain. I yelled out in pain and dropped my phone. I sank to the floor and panted.
"Spencer?" I heard Hotch yell from my phone. After a few minutes I answered and frowned.
"S-Sorry... I need to... I need to hang up.... I need to call an ambulance" I said and panted frowning.
"Reid, is it time?" I heard Derek ask. I shook and took a second.
"Yeah... yes it is" I said before I felt liquid beneath me.
"There's blood..." I said before I felt myself slide to the ground. I laid there as darkness surrounded me.
"Spencer! Wake up" I heard someone yell in my ear. I looked around and frowned. Derek pulled me up and helped me get on a stretcher. I looked up at him.
"It's high risk... He is too small" I said and frowned. I looked up at him and frowned. Derek frowned and held my hand. We got taken to a hospital and brought into a hospital room. I threw my head back and frowned. I saw a nurse try to give me an iv. I shook my head and pulled away. The nurse put it away and frowned. I frowned and shut my eyes thinking.
"You need to push Spencer" The doctor said and looked at me. I frowned and started pushing. I held onto Derek frowning. Derek watched me concerned. I pushed feeling like I was pushing a hot coal. I winced slightly and frowned. I arched my back and pushed. I frowned in pain looking at Derek. Derek kissed my forehead and frowned. He rubbed my back and sighed.
"It will be okay... just think about our baby..." he said and frowned. I nodded and took a small break before pushing again. I screamed as I felt the baby's head moved out. I panted and frowned a bit.
"They have brown hair... dark brown" Derek said and held my hand. I shut my eyes and held onto him. I took a few minutes before pushin again feeling like I was dying. I felt like I was being ripped apart. It was so much pressure, than nothing. I heard the wailing of my child and looked at Derek. Derek looked at me and smiled.
"It's a girl..." He said softly and rubbed my back. I leaned against him and gently held our daughter. We both got cleaned up then brought to a recovery room. Before too long the team was in the room holding my daughter. Derek sat beside the bed smiling. I smiled softly when I got passed my daughter. I held onto her and smiled. She had beautiful caramel skin, brown hair that was so slightly Curley, and when she finally opened her eyes it showed the lightest brown eyes that were filled with curiosity. I smiled softly at her and rubbed her back.
"Reid, what's her name?" Hotch asked me. I smiled at her before looking at him.
"Mariah Diana Reid Morgan" I said softly and looked down. I kissed my daughter's cheek before Derek kissed my forehead. I could tell that my daughter was already going to be soiled and loved.
