Hello! I haven't written a fic in quite a while, so bare with me. I binged Criminal Minds throughout quarantine and I had the motivation to write again. I've seen many takes of the "Spencer's wife is pregnant while he's in prison" trope and I wanted to give it a try and spice it up a bit. Even though giving him a kid during this is super sad, I guess I like causing myself pain. So I hope you enjoy!
Note: This story is not going to follow the show to a T. There are some bits of cases and stories that I'm bending a little bit. But for the most part, this follows the end half of season 12 and beginning of season 13 pretty well. Also, I haven't written a full fic since like middle school, so bare with me if my writing is shitty :)
