Merry Belated Christmas (Reidxfemale!Reader)

y/n/n= your nickname

It was a two weeks after Christmas. Vacation was over and Reid and y/n were getting ready for work. Both of them were members of the FBI's behavioral analysis unit at Quantico.

"y/n/n, you ready?" Reid called.

"Yeah, um. Just gimme a minute," came y/n's reply from the bathroom. She was feeling nauseous. After a few minutes of dry heaving, she managed to shout down the hall to Reid, "honey just go. I- I'll catch the train. Tell Hotch I'll be a little late."

"You're sure you're okay? Because you can call in sick and I can stay home with-"

"No it's fine! Just go, Spence. No sense in us both being late."

Reid shrugged and agreed, grabbing his keys and heading out. When y/n heard the door close and lock she opened a drawer below the sink and pulled out a pink box.

"Okay," she said to herself. "It's simple. I just pee on a stick then wait. One line no, two lines yes. Got it." Shortly thereafter y/n was crying. "We're pregnant," she half whispered, half laughed. "We're pregnant!" she cried.

Y/n decided that night she would make a nice dinner and tell him then. Y/n wanted to call him and break the news right then, but she knew he didn't need the extra distraction.

Y/n had gotten cleaned up and changed for work when her phone rang.

"SSA y/l/n."

"Hey, little lady!"

"Hey, Morgan. I'm just about to leave the house. Sorry I just wasn-"

"No don't. I'll come get you. We're searching your side of the city so I might as well."

"Oh. Okay. Thanks! See you in a few?"

"Yep. See you then baby girl."

. . .

"Eric Haltmen! Put your weapon down and raise your hands above your head!" Hotch shouted.

"No! Not gonna happen!" was his reply.

"NOW!" demanded Morgan.

"You took everything from me! Why should I-"

"That wasn't us, Eric," Prentiss coaxed. "The FBI had nothing to do with your w-"

"THEY SHOT HER! IN COLD BLOOD! WITHOUT ANY WARNING!" The Unsub was shaking. "Y- you took everything I love. So now I'm gonna take something from you." He turned his gun to Reid and pulled the trigger.

"NO!" y/n screamed, running to Reid.

Morgan tackled the Unsub as Hotch called for a medic.

"Spence, baby look at me," y/n cried.

"y/n/n, please, stop. D- don't cry. D- don't waste t- tears on- on thi- AHHH! I'm not gonna make it-"

"Yes you are. You're gonna make it and you're gonna be fine and we'll be okay and we can even r-"

"No. Y- y/n listen. I'm not s- so listen, okay?"

Y/n closed her eyes and shook her head, whispering, "please God no. No no no."

"I love you. I love you, y/n. I love you so much."

"I- I love you too," y/n sobbed as Reid was placed on a gurney and loaded into an ambulance.

Y/n sat there numb, watching the ambulance drive away. JJ came over to comfort her.

"You're right, sweetheart. He's gonna be okay." JJ started tearing up as she hugged y/n.

"He doesn't even know," y/n whispered.

"Doesn't know what?" JJ asked.

"I'm pregnant."

JJ pulled out of their hug and looked at y/n. "Congratulations! When did you find out?"

"This morning. I was gonna tell him over dinner but now I might not get the chance!" y/n continued weeping into JJ's shoulder.

"Y/n," Hotch said, approaching the two women. "Reid is at the general hospital 20 minutes from here. Go be with him or go home. Just- take some time, okay?" He squeezed her shoulders affectionately before walking away to deal with the press.

Y/n nodded, wiping her eyes.

"I'll drive you to the hospital," JJ offered.
