Chapter 8

Hotch and Reid walked into the BAU, Reid nursing a large cup of coffee in one hand, and nibbling a big Breakfast Burrito in the other.
"Perfect timing, Hotch." JJ said, walking in. "We have a case." Hotch and Reid redirected their path and headed into the round table room. The rest of the team joined them.
"Where's Morgan?" Hotch asked.
"Here!" Morgan called, jogging in. Hotch eyed the disheveled looking man, and shook his head.
"Have fun last night, Morgan?" JJ laughed.
"Maybe I did. And that's all YOU are getting, you little busybody." He directed that last comment at Garcia.
"Don't MAKE me look up your credit and debit card activity and then check security cameras." She said, grinning.
"… HOTCH!" Morgan cried.
"Garcia, please remember that you are here to work, not to spy on your teammates to feed your need for gossip." Hotch said calmly, looking over the case file. "But, uh… Feel free once you get home."
"Yes sir!" Garcia chirped, while Morgan howled "HOTCH! Oh, laugh it up, kid! Don't make me smack you!"
"You'd hit a pregnant kid?" Rossi asked, raising an eyebrow. Morgan's eyes widened when he found all the women GLARING at him.
"Can we start the briefing, please?" Hotch sighed.
"Right." JJ said, grinning. "Utah has asked for our help. They have eleven bodies. Four men, seven women, all Mormons."
"… Great. Religious based killings. I hate these…" Morgan sighed. And an hour later, Reid was making up a geographic profile in Garcia's office while the team was settled on the jet, discussing the case with Reid and Garcia listening in over web cam.
"Well, it's not sexually motivated." Morgan was saying. "Looks like they were executed. Put on their knees and shot in the forehead…"
"And look. Some of their hands are still clasped as if in prayer." Emily pointed out.
"So… is he making them pray to God before they die? Or is he making them beg HIM for their lives?" Rossi asked.
"He's probably in his mid thirties." Reid commented as he worked, and the team all looked at the screen, seeing the boy behind Garcia. "And probably very religious. And something about the Mormon beliefs and lifestyle goes against his own beliefs."
"Garcia." Hotch said. "Keep an eye on Reid. He looks pale."
"It's probably just the light from Garcia's computers." Reid called over his shoulder, then stood back and looked over his geographic profile. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, wishing he were on the jet with the rest of the team.
That evening, when the team had retired to their hotel, Garcia walked out to the bull pen.
"Reid?"
"Yeah?"
"You uh… want a ride home?"
"No. I'm fine, thanks."
"… You can't take the train home. Not pregnant."
"I uh… I was actually going to stay here." Reid said with a small smile.
"… What? You can't stay here all night! You have to sleep!"
"I am!" Reid insisted. "I was gonna sleep on the sofa in Hotch's office."
"Reid! No!" Garcia laughed. "Your back needs a good soft bed."
"Aaron has a good soft sofa." Reid said, calmly. "And… his office smells like him." And he flushed slightly. Garcia blinked, then smiled.
"… Okay." She said. "But JUST this once."
"Okay. Just this once." Reid agreed, nodding. And two hours later he yawned and slipped into the Unit Chief's office. He kicked off his shoes, removed his belt and side arm and curled up on Hotch's plush leather sofa, pulling the throw over himself. As he slowly began to relax, his phone rang. Reid glanced at the name, and smiled.
"Hey." He answered.
"Hey, baby." Hotch said.
"You sound tired." Reid observed.
"I am. I miss you."
"Miss you too."
"How's the baby doing today?"
"He's been quiet." Reid yawned, smiling and rubbing his belly. "Moving around a bit right now… wish you were here to put him to sleep." Hotch smiled at that.
"Sorry, babe…"
"How's the case going?"
"Hey now… I'm at the hotel and YOU should be in bed."
"Yeah. And?"
"Are you in bed?" Hotch asked. Reid blinked and eyed the man's office.
"… Yes."
"You're lying."
"Don't profile me."
"Don't lie to me. What are you doing?"
"Lying down."
"… Spencer?"
"Hm?"
"Where are you?"
"… yeroffice…"
"What?"
"… I'm on the sofa in your office."
"WHAT? WHY?"
"Because! I didn't want to go home!"
"Why not?"
"… I miss you. And your office smells like you. Your sofa is comfy. And… and I just miss you, okay?"
"… Spencer." Hotch sighed. Reid smiled, knowing he had won.
"I promised Garcia it was just for one night." Reid assured his lover.
"Okay. Just for one night." Hotch groaned, caving in. "Are you seeing Dr. Blair tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
"Haley going with you?"
"Yeah."
"Are you going to ask her?"
"… Yeah." Reid sighed.
"Well… talk to Dr. Blair first. See what she thinks. Then ask Haley."
"I will… Aaron?"
"Hm?"
"… I love you." Came the soft proclamation. Hotch felt a smile tugging at his lips.
"… Love you too, baby. Get some rest, hm?"
"Mmmm… I will." Reid groaned stretching and purring in satisfaction when his back popped.
"I'll talk to you in the morning."
"Mmkay."
"… Night, Spencer. Sleep well."
"You too." And the pair hung up. Reid rolled onto his side and curled up, rubbing his belly in attempts to soothe his active, developing child.

"—Reid? Agent Reid, wake up." Reid grumbled at the voice.
"G'way…" He grumbled, burying his face.
"Agent Reid." Came the firm command. And then Reid recognized the voice. His eyes snapped open and he stared up at the frowning face of Section Chief Erin Strauss.
"Ma'am!" He gasped, sitting straight up. "AH!" And he yelped and pressed a hand to his lower back. Then his head spun. "Woo…" And he fell back onto the sofa, this time with a hand to his head. When he managed to get his bearings back, he saw the woman watching him carefully, hands outstretched as if ready to catch him.
"Are you alright?" She asked.
"… Just… sat up too fast." Reid mumbled.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Oh. I uh… I really didn't feel like going home." Reid admitted. She cocked her head at him. He gave her a tentative smile. "This is… the first time the team has been out on a case and… I've been left behind. It feels… strange."
"You've been with the Bureau for several years. What about… time off?"
"Never." Reid admitted. "Unless the entire team had off."
"Why?"
"Why not?" Reid shot back. Strauss slowly turned around one of the chairs that sat before Hotch's desk and sat down in it, eying the young agent. Reid sighed. "I don't feel so alone when I'm here." He finally said, and she nodded. "This place is… very much home. I have more of a connection to this place than I do my own apartment." She nodded again, smiling slightly.
"I have a feeling that's a common theme in your team." She said, and Reid nodded, returning her smile. She let her eyes drift down to his stomach. "How is the baby?"
"… He's fine." Reid said, smiling and running a hand over his swollen middle.
"A boy?"
"… Uh… yeah." Reid said, nodding. She smiled again.
"Are you still planning on putting him up for adoption?"
"… Yes." Reid said, nodding. She sighed and leaned back.
"You know… the greatest blessing in life is the gift of children." Strauss said, and Reid stared at her. "Have you thought about being a part of his life… even if it is not as his parent?"
"… I… y-yeah… actually, I have…" Reid mumbled.
"You should." Strauss said, smiling. Reid suddenly realized that she was looking at him with a very… MATERNAL attitude. Oh Lord… He jumped when the baby squirmed within him. He looked down his belly and rubbed it. Then he looked back up at the Section Chief.
"… I plan to talk to his adoptive parents about it…" He said softly, and she smiled at him as they both stood.
"You should… if you give him up and never see him again… you'll probably regret it." Strauss asked, laying a hand on Reid's shoulder. "No more sleeping in the office, Agent Reid. I don't think your doctors would approve." And she walked away. Reid stared after her, then sighed and grabbed his GoBag, heading down to the showers. He made sure they were empty before undressing. He took a quick shower and put on a clean change of clothes, then headed back up to the BAU. When he got there, Garcia was in her office.
"I'll get back to you ASAP." She said and hung up the phone, then turned and smiled at Reid. "Hey, kiddo. How'd you sleep?"
"Fine, thanks." Reid said, smiling and yawning. "What's going on?"
"They have a good possible suspect. They're on their way to pick him up right now." Garcia said.
"Good." Reid nodded. "I hope they'll be home soon."
"Miss your honey?" The woman asked, and Reid smiled. Garcia grinned at the pale blush on the boy's face.
"… Yeah." He sighed. "I… I miss him a lot."
"Awww… come here." Garcia cooed. Reid blinked, then smiled and sat down in the chair she had brought in for him. Ten minutes later, Kevin Lynch walked in. He blinked. Agent Reid was leaning back in his chair with his feet up on the desk, mismatched socks on display. Garcia was smiling and rubbing his rounded stomach. She looked up at Kevin and grinned.
"The baby is kicking!" She exclaimed in excitement.
"… Oh." Kevin said. "Uh… Right."
"Hi Kevin." Reid greeted without opening his eyes.
"Uh, hello, Agent Reid."
"Wanna feel?" Garcia asked, then seized Kevin's hand and pressed it to Reid's stomach without waiting for an answer. Reid lifted his head and grinned at the look on Kevin's face when the man felt the baby moving.
"… Doesn't that freak you out?" Kevin gasped, staring at Reid. Reid grinned when the TA innocently echoed the words Reid had given JJ when she made HIM feel Henry moving in her stomach.
"Very much so." Reid answered cheerfully, echoing that same conversation with JJ when she asked him if it freaked HIM out.
"How can you stand it?" Kevin asked.
"I can't." Reid snickered. "But I don't have a choice." And he shrugged. "I'm stuck with it until he's born."
"Boy?"
"Boy." Reid confirmed with a nod.
"Well uh… congratulations." Kevin said, awkwardly. Reid just smiled, bowing his head and running his hands over his stomach.
Suddenly, Reid's phone rang. He pulled it out.
"This is Reid… Oh! Okay, I'll be right down." And he hung up. Garcia blinked.
"Where you going?" She asked.
"I have an appointment with Dr. Blair." Reid said, standing. "Haley is taking me."
"… Wow. Awkward." Garcia giggled. Reid just smiled.
When he slid into the car, Haley grinned and promptly said "Let's see!" Smiling, Reid unbuttoned his coat and lifted his sweater, letting her see his growing belly under his button up shirt.
"Oh my God, LOOK at you!" She cried.
"I know…" Reid sighed, smiling and buckling his seatbelt. Reid spent the drive in interrogation. Haley had to know EVERYTHING. Whether or not he was eating well, was he taking his vitamins, was he sleeping enough, how was his blood pressure, etc…
Reid was relieved when they finally got to the office. They rode the elevator up and went into the office, Reid removing his scarf. The receptionist smiled.
"Hello, Dr. Reid!"
"Hi, Ms. Valdez." Reid said, giving a shy wave.
"Go on in."
"Thanks." Reid said, and Haley took a seat in the waiting room. Reid slipped into Dr. Blair's office.
"Good morning, Spencer!" Dr. Blair greeted, grinning at him.
"Hi." Reid said, smiling and removing his coat.
"How are you doing?"
"Okay, actually." Reid said. "And… if you don't mind, there's something I want to talk to you about."
"Oh?" She asked, sitting down in her favorite arm chair. This was new… Spencer had never initiated their conversations before. Reid sighed and paced, anxiously. She watched him.
"First off…" Reid said. He took a deep breath and turned to smile at her. "It's a boy."
"It's a… Oh. Oh! Spencer! That's wonderful!" And she bounced to her feet and threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly. "Oh, I'm so PROUD of you! Was Aaron there?"
"No. Garcia." Reid said, grinning at the warm hug. "We uh… had a little party. At her insistence. Since I wouldn't let her throw me a Baby Shower, she threw a Gender Reveal Party."
"I like her." Dr. Blair chuckled, and the pair sat down on the sofa, angled towards each other.
"Anyway…" Reid said. "I've been doing a lot of thinking."
"About what?"
"About… after he's born."
"Oh?"
"Aaron and I have… talked. And… I haven't changed my mind. I still plan to adopt him out. But… I want to be a part of my baby's life." Dr. Blair perked up.
"Well done."
"Huh?"
"I've been waiting to hear those two words for a LONG time."
"… What words?" Reid asked, looking baffled.
"The baby. The baby. That's all you would say. You distanced yourself from it." She said, absolutely BEAMING. Reid blinked. "You just said 'My baby'. I am SO happy to hear you say that. I've been waiting to hear it for a long time. You're finally connecting and bonding with him. And now you want to be in his life. See him grow up?"
"… Yes." Reid said, nodding.
"You're going to talk to whoever adopts him?"
"Actually. I'm… I'm kind of planning to ask someone to adopt him."
"Someone specific?"
"Yes."
"Who?"
"… Haley Hotchner."
"… Aaron's ex wife?" Dr. Blair gasped.
"Yeah. She hated me at first. Then I got pregnant. And… she's really been there for me. For… for US. And Jack. I mean…" Reid smiled, running hands over his stomach. "He's his half brother. I think… I mean… he has family. He should grow up with it."
"Have you asked her?"
"Not yet."
"When will you?"
"We're going out to lunch." Reid said. "There are… things I need to say to her first."
"Why wait?"
"Huh?"
"No time like the present." Dr. Blair said cheerfully, and Reid watched in horror as she walked to the door and called Haley in. The woman walked in, smiling hesitantly at Reid and looking confused, especially at the 'Deer-In-The-Headlights' look on the young man's face.
"Ms. Hotchner, Spencer has something he wants to ask you." Dr. Blair said, and Reid fixed wide eyes on Haley's face as she slowly sat down next to him.
"Spencer?" She asked, smiling at his nervous look.
"Haley…" Reid said, softly. "I… I know you hate me for… Aaron."
"… No." She said, shaking her head. "I don't HATE you. I just… It hurts. It confused me. I never thought that Aaron would… I didn't know he was…"
"Bisexual?"
"… Yeah. That."
"I've been Bisexual for a long time." Reid said, smiling. "And I can tell you this for sure… He didn't know he was bi any more than you did. Until…" He just sighed and shook his head, his smile widening and his face turning pink. Dr. Blair raised an eyebrow.
"I never meant to hurt you." Reid said, softly. "I've always liked you. And… He loves you. He does. To this day… Aaron will love you 'til the day he dies… But… You wanted things from one another in your relationship that… that you couldn't give. You wanted him to be there. But he couldn't turn away from the job. He wanted you to understand that. You can't. Very few can. And… that's how he and I…" Reid sighed. "That's why he and I have worked out. Because we both know that… the job is who we are. And since we work together, the job doesn't keep us away from each other. We're able to maintain easily what you struggled to maintain. It's not your fault, Haley. It… I… I've loved Aaron for a long time. But I never EVER expected for him to…" He trailed off.
"… To reciprocate." Haley finished, softly. She sniffled slightly, wiping away tears.
"… I never would have come between you…" Reid gasped, looking horribly guilty.
"You didn't." Haley assured him. "We love each other. But… You're right. No matter how much we love each other, we can't be what the other needs."
"Yeah… But… lately…" Reid said, slowly. "Since this…" And he placed his hands on his stomach. "You've been what both of us needed that we didn't know HOW to be for each other. And… I can't thank you enough for that." She blinked at him. "Aaron told me how… how he calls you when he gets upset… when he doesn't know what to tell me… you know… when I get upset. You always know what to say when I call you when I'm upset." Reid smiled. "I know you've gotten back to back calls. One from him, asking what to say to me, and then me, crying that he said the wrong thing. And then he'll come back in and say the right thing…"
"What now?" Dr. Blair asked, and Reid and Haley looked at her, then laughed.
"When I uh… get overly emotional." Reid admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. "Aaron would try to calm me down, and I would get mad at him for something he said. So he would call Haley to find out what to say that would calm me down. And she would tell him, then get a call from ME because Aaron had upset me. Then Aaron would come back in and say what she told him to say and…"
"And then they would have make-up sex." Haley said. Reid froze, eyes wide.
"W-What? NO!"
"Yes." Haley snorted. "You forgot to hang up the phone three weeks ago." Dr. Blair burst out laughing at the horrified look on Reid's face.
Reid groaned. "ANYWAY!" He cried over the giggles of the women. "Haley."
"Yes?"
"You've been a real godsend. To me AND Aaron. And… we were talking… and… you've already done so much for us but… there's something I have to ask you."
"Yes?"
"As you know… we're not keeping the baby."
"You still plan to put it up for adoption?"
"Him."
"What?"
"… It's a boy."
"That's wonderful!" Haley cried, leaning over and hugging Reid.
"Am I gonna get a hug every time I say 'it's a boy'?" Reid asked. The women laughed.
"I seem to recall having the same problem." Haley told him, and he grinned.
"Well, anyway… Yes. We are putting him up for adoption. But… We've also decided that we still want to watch our child grow up. And… well…" Reid took a deep breath. "And we want our child to grow up with his family, and… Haley… We want you to raise him."
Silence.
Haley stared at Reid, face filled with shock.
"… W-What?"
"I want him to grow up with his brother. With the best mother. And able to… to know his father. Haley… will you please adopt him? I… I'll pay child support or whatever you want, I will, I just… I want him to have the best mother and I know you can be that for him and… and this way Aaron can know him as his son and he can know Aaron as his dad and… and… oh, no, please don't cry! I didn't mean to—" Reid stopped when Haley lifted a hand to silence him. Her other hand was over her own mouth, and her eyes had filled with tears. Reid looked at Dr. Blair, distressed, then turned back to the crying woman.
"… Haley?" He whimpered. She stared at him, her blue eyes filled with tears and her face flushed. Then, she nodded. Reid stared back at her. "Haley? You… you will?" She nodded, then lowered her hand and let out a sobbing laugh, throwing her arms around him.
"Yes!" She cried, hugging the boy tightly. "Oh my God, yes..."
"Thank you…" Reid gasped, fighting back his own tears… but DAMN those hormones that come with being pregnant… there was NO ounce of control over his emotions. The tears fell anyway. "Thank you so much… Wow... is this what it's like when you propose and they say 'yes'?" Haley and Dr. Blair broke into laughter at Reid's innocent question.
The rest of the appointment was filled with tears and curses, the latter from Reid who was frustrated that he couldn't STOP the damn tears. The women kept laughing at him. But the appointment ended before Reid was ready. Dr. Blair gave him a hug and sent him on his way.
They ended up having lunch in the house that Hotch once lived in with Haley. And after, Haley dragged Reid upstairs and into a room.
"This was the nursery." She said. "… And now it will be again." She said, smiling at him. He smiled back.
"And… you really… you really want to do this?"
"… I have to admit… I was a bit jealous."
"Jealous?"
"I wanted another child. And now you and Aaron are giving me one. I'll have to tell Jack tonight."
"He'll be a great big brother." Reid said, smiling.
