the human willingness to date synthetics is probably jarring to the rest of the galactic species
You'd think the first organic/synthetic couple would've been a quarian and a geth. But nope, it's just some human pilot and the unshackled AI of his ship
#which makes so much sense considering the fact most human pilots and engineers do want to fuck the aircrafts#watch the first geth/organic relationship to be with a human#now the real question is...can asari make children with them? bc that will confirm that they have a soul...kinda#Just saying I would absolutely marry my phone if it was a person#we've been through thick and thin#âwould you marry your fridge??â ummm yes lol?? it's my fridge! it has my food in it! it's so amazing. fucking duh of course I will marry it#let me fuck the wifi#it's WIF(E)I <33#Legion is very attractive and a lot of humans would flirt with him that's what I'm getting at#plus he carries in valorant and OW#âgeth#âquarians#âhumans#âgalactic species

I've legitimately been thinking a lot about trans women lately and like the women I know in my life and how complex and human and real they are. Specifically because I understand the world is not kind to trans women and likes to generalize them horribly.
I know a woman who's an artist and spending her time dreaming about stars. I know another woman who's a terrible friend and manipulative as hell. I know one who's shy and sweet and so intelligent. Trans women can be so many things đ
I really care deeply about trans women and I hope in my friend groups I'm a good ally to them and know to stand up vocally for them. Trans women deserve so much and they're given not enough. Everyone can do something to stop transphobia by speaking up when they hear it. Don't let your friends make transphobic jokes. Don't let your dad regurgitate trump's words. Protect the trans women in your life and everywhere else, they need to be loved and respected. Mwah! đĽ°
#mine#đđĽ°trans womenđĽ°đ#all humans are complex and its a beautiful thing#*cough* and a small thought#if we deny healthcare to one prisoner. no matter how disgusting the crime. it sets a precedent to deny healthcare to any prisoner#for any reason#and denying a prisoner trans healthcare is denying a prisoner life saving medicine in my opinion#trans healthcare saves lives#its basic healthcare if you ask me not some sort of secret sect of magic healthcare that should cost more#so yeah. i think people who've done horrible things should have trans healthcare in prison#but thats not even getting into my opinions on prison abolishment. thats just talking about prison existing now#so idk if yall know what case im talking about? i could find it if anyones curious i didnt dig into it at allll#just some stoned opinions from a gender fucked bitch#ummm prisoners deserve healthcare?#duh#trans rights are human rights#pre school levels of basic respect#ive been thinking about this way too much lately since im all gender fucky and i feel like trans women are just .... intelligent about those#feelings. yk? and that's me generalizing but i mean all the Tumblr ladies i see on my dash talking about life and experiences#they are smart ladies#tumblr promotes terf content and deletes trans womens blogs and i try to follow trans women but tumblr still recommends terf blogs to me#i am angry bout it#i have a very complex and long standing relationship with gender identity and gender fuckery *pulls out my resumĂŠ*#idk thoughts#im stoned sorry yall#serious post but im not being unstupid#what#okay#bye

MY BABY, HERE ON EARTH | Spencer Reid x Prentiss!Reader [BONUS]
Description: the NINE months of pregnancy
Word count: 10.9k
warnings: pregnancy duh, babies, giving birth, c-section, ummm body fluids? lots of emotions, nausea & sickness, talks of weight gain and stretch marks.
authors note: y'all... there you have it. I will be back to finish their story but until then this is my goodbye piece until I have finished my hiatus to write my own book and start uni (again). I can't wait to take these two (three) on the final lap they deserve but for now.. I hope you enjoy pookies being pookies.
previous chapter | series masterlist |next chapter
MONTH ONE. The one where she finds out.
She hadnât meant to find out when she did. It had been just a routine implant swap that sheâd had twice already in the last six years.Â
âAny blood clotting, any pain at all?â The nurse asked, jotting down a few notes on her form as she sat back on the bed and waiting for the numbing cream to take hold.Â
She shook her head. âItâs weird as hell to feel and when I think about it too long it freaks me out, but no, no pain,â She said and the nurse chuckled, nudging her glasses up her nose.
âAnd finally, is there any chance that youâre pregnant?â She asked, no doubt having rehearsed the same script about thirty times that day alone.
Bugsy gave her a flat smile, âSmall chance, but I guess thatâs what this is for, huh?âÂ
The nurse looked at her then, as if mulling over the words before she said something, âSmall chance?â
âI mean, nothing is a hundred percent effective,â Bugsy tried to weasel her way out of the awkward conversation, because she had absolutely no intention of letting the nurse know her and Spencer had been at it like bunnies since the Hotch had forced them to take medical leave. Who knew having so much time on her hands with her very handsome boyfriend would have that effect?Â
The nurse pursed her lips, and already the woman felt like sheâd said too much.Â
âAlright, weâre going to do a routine test, just need a quick urine sample,â Bugsy felt her cheeks heat, though she was in no position to argue. Her discomfort must have been more obvious than she thought, however, as the nurse went on to explain, âIf I give you this implant and thereâs a fertilised egg, it can lead to ectopic pregnancy, in which case youâll need surgery. Trust me, honey, peeing in a cup is your easy option,âÂ
She gave the practitioner a small nod, wondering if she needed to message Spencer to say sheâd be running a little late. She knew he was likely doing the sudoku in the waiting room magazine, since heâd refused to let her come alone. And even though sheâd told him she would be fine on her own, heâd seen through it, had even offered to get her ice cream on the way home for putting on a brave face.Â
And yet her face was nothing short of horror struck not even half an hour later when the nurse showed her the stick with empathetic eyes.Â
âCongratulations,â The woman said cautiously, a fake smile plastered on her face as the girl stared at her, utterly gobsmacked.Â
âBut, I thoughtâŚâ Bugsy stammered, running a finger over where the nurse had removed her implant, âBut I had everything ready, I never let it get late, I did what I was supposed to,âÂ
âYou said it yourself, honey, nothing is a hundred percent effective besides abstinence-âÂ
âThatâs just what parents say to make sure their kids arenât banging every Tom, Dick and Harry out there!â Bugsy was near screeching, the worry in her tone clear as a bell and her chest hot with panic.Â
Pregnant. She was pregnant, there was no way she could beâŚ
Except there was exactly a way she could be, seeing as she struggled even on a dry spell to keep her hands off Spencer longer than a few days at a time. And he was just as bad.
The nurse huffed, rifling through her drawers for a handful of pamphlets. She passed them to Bugsy whose mouth was still bobbing with more expletives she held herself back from saying, and it wasnât until she saw the happy couple on the front of the first one, holding a very swollen and round bump that she thought she might be sick.Â
Comical timing, she hissed at herself.Â
âThere are always options, sweetheart. Abortion is legal in Virginia, if that is what you decide, however there is always information and support that we recommend looking into before you make a solid decision,â Her response was professional even though her expression was compassionate, and Bugsy knew she must have looked scared because that was exactly how she felt and she had little to no room to hide it.Â
Abortion? Is that what she wanted? Except it wasnât just about what she wanted, it was what Spencer wanted too. Even if he would argue against that being the case in a heartbeat, even if he would tell her she had every right to be the only one to make a decision, no matter what he thought. But maybe it wasnât so much about needing his opinion for that reason, and more it was because she had absolutely no clue what to do and Spencer was always good at making sense of the things she didnât know how to deal with.Â
She nodded silently, her mouth dry as sandpaper as she took the leaflets and stuffed them in the bottom of her purse where she hoped Spencer wouldnât go looking.Â
She barely remembered standing on liquid legs, barely remembered the way her chest felt tight and her head spun as she thought of the fact her body had a baby growing inside it.Â
No, it wasnât a baby. Not yet. It was likely the size of a grain of sand, miniscule. That wasnât a baby, that was nothing.Â
But it would be. Eventually. It would be hers and Spencerâs baby.
And she wanted to tell him, wanted to tell him the second she saw him there in the waiting room, his head shooting up the second the door opened and she left looking a little ill and shaken.Â
âAll done? Everything go as normal?â He preened, standing immediately as she neared him, his hand immediately weaving around her shoulder to pull her close by. Gently, ofcourse, because she had a big, fat bandage where her implant should have been.Â
âY-yeah,â She stammered, hoping he didnât hear the shake in her throat. Yet she knew immediately that he did. Because he leaned in to give her a delicate kiss to her forehead not even a moment later, âC-can we go straight home, Iâm not feeling ice cream anymore,âÂ
He looked worried, as anyone who knew her would because Bugsy turning down free pudding was a blaring red siren in his eyes.
âYeah, sure,â He said, stroking a gentle hand over the side of her head and leading her where heâd parked the car.Â
And it was that worry, the same cloud that hung over him for months with Scratch and his mom and the Dirty Dozen and everything else that was put onto his shoulder that made her shut her mouth right then and there. He didnât need one other thing to contend with, not when he was already carrying the weight of the world.Â
And so she wouldnât tell him. Not yet at least.
MONTH TWO. The one with the scan.
âSpence, would you stop worrying, Iâm sure everything will be fine,â She urged in the gentlest tone she could muster. Yet she was a hypocrite, because she felt her hands shaking as she sat in the chair, trying to adjust her sleeves for something to do and Spencer stopped his leg from bouncing.Â
Looking over at her, he sighed, holding out a large palm and weaving her fingers in between his and she flicked a look over at him, her own eyes nervous.Â
âIâm sorry,â He gave her a guilty smile, âIf it helps, itâs half excitement too,â
And she smiled then, shaking her head as he squeezed her hand gently.Â
âMe too,â She confessed, looking down at her stomach that didnât seem all too different than usual. Sheâd felt a few symptoms up until this point, a bit of nausea but that was nothing she couldnât handle, headaches here and there. But it wasnât anything exactly life changing that sheâd expected when sheâd always thought of pregnancy.Â
If anything, none of it felt real quite just yet. Having only been a few weeks since sheâd told Spencer, theyâd spent the majority of the time searching for houses and appointments and gynaecologists and neonatal care, and whenever they were free, they were trying to get used to the idea of the two of them as parents.
âDid you know theyâre around half an inch long by now,â Spencer said, his hazel eyes falling to where her shirt hid her stomach that had yet to change no matter how many times he stared at it, âAbout a third of that is made up of their head,â
âWouldnât surprise me,â She shrugged, stroking her thumb along the edge of his pinky finger, âItâs your kid, theyâre going to have biggest brain out there,âÂ
He snickered, lifting her hand to press a kiss to the back of it softly, âIf they have even half your brains, weâre going to be raising the next Galileo,âÂ
âMr and Mrs Reid,â Their heads shot up at the midwife, Bugsy fumbling for words to correct him as the two of them stood up to greet him with bashful smiles. She didnât need to look at Spencerâs face to know heâd gone bright red.Â
âItâs uh, Prentiss-Reid,â Spencer spluttered as they entered and the nurse looked again at his chart with wide eyes, his cheeks a little pink himself and he ushered the two of them into his office with a smile.Â
âSo it is, I do apologise,â He said earnestly, holding a hand out to gesture Bugsy to sit on the reclining bed, âI hate to stereotype, but usually when dad books the appointments, its because their wives are already doing a hundred other things,âÂ
âItâs okay, it happens,â She said with an awkward chuckle, avoiding Spencerâs eyes because they still hadnât had that talk. Even though she knew her mother would frown at her grandchild being born a bastard, she didnât care much for Elizabethâs opinion. It wasnât like marriages had ever led to good things for her mother anyway.Â
She hopped up onto the examination cot, her heart quivering just the slightest in worry because the smell of bleach and rubber made the whole thing real. Until then, having a grain of rice growing inside her seemed like a fever dream since sheâd only had a handful of side effects, throwing up could have easily been passed off as bad chicken, the head aches could have just been her eyes straining from using her computer too much.Â
âOkay, everything feels okay, Mom? Nothing concerning at all?â And then the midwife said things like that, mom, and the part of her that almost forgot she was pregnant came to a screeching halt.Â
Sheâd be a mom. Someone would call her mom. The thought of it made her suck in a breath.
âUh, no.â She cleared her throat and felt Spencer grab her hand, âMorning sickness is kicking my ass, but nothing worrying,â
The nurse chuckled, and she felt Spencer rubbing his thumb over the back of her palm, his eyes burning into the side of her head.Â
âWell, if itâs alright, I need you to lift your shirt up a little so we can have a see whatâs going on,â He said with a kind smile, and she realised then heâd slipped latex gloves over his hands, and brandished a bottle of gel.Â
She nodded absently, doing as he said and lifting her shirt to sit under her breasts, drawing the hem of her skirt down so he had a space to apply. And the second he did she sucked in breath through her nose, the cold of the air conditioning chilling her to her marrow, and she tried telling herself thatâs why her hands were shaking.Â
She felt Spencerâs fingers curve through her hair, and she reminded herself to breathe, looking over at him with nervous eyes she hoped he didnât see straight through. But judging by the way he scooted the chair forward and gave her an encouraging smile, she guessed heâd seen the flicker of doubt in an instant.Â
âItâs okay, itâs going to be fine,â He murmured, his own fear buried deep somewhere she couldnât see anymore the second she had been the one to look to him for help. She knew she wanted this, knew sheâd always dreamed of Spencer and her having their happily ever after. She knew whenever sheâd let herself think of a little boy with chocolate curls and hazel eyes that she wanted all of that and more.Â
But it was all so⌠real. Like seeing a movie come to life, and she was starring centre stage. Her body wasnât a disposable shell that held thirty plus years of stupid mistakes and regrets and tattoos sheâd decided she hated now. Her body had a whole other human inside it.Â
The midwife clicked the machine on, the transducer wand ready in his hand as he gently put it on her lower stomach, barely a few centimetres from her panties, and she wondered why they showed the wand roaming over the womanâs belly button on tv shows since that was entirely wrong and not nearly as embarrassing. She let out a shaky breath, and Spencer stroked her head again, forcing her to give him an unsure look, like she was trying to calm herself for his sake but couldnât.
His eyes were anxious though he squeezed her again with a smile and she saw it immediately, like he too was trying to be brave for her.Â
She had never loved him so much.Â
âApologies for the shock, I know the gel can be a little cold,â The nurse said with a grin, and it was only then she realised the screen had lit up with a black and white image, one sheâd seen a thousand times when sheâd studied neonatal procedures for her degree.Â
She knew that was her womb lining, and that was the amniotic fluid and that right there-
Bugsy froze, and judging by the way Spencerâs hand tightened around her own, he had too. She felt her mouth drop with a laugh of shock, and she sat up slightly to take a closer look at the monitor.Â
âAnd there is baby,â The midwife said, his expression warming as he watched Spencerâs stand up to lean over the bed, not once letting go of the womanâs hand, the two of them utterly enraptured in the screen, âProbably about the size of a raspberry,â
And Bugsy laughed, her eyes lined with tears as she looked up at Spencerâs equally wetted hues. He was grinning from ear to ear when he looked down at her, and it wasnât long before he brought his lips to her forehead, his nose and throat burning with a held cry.Â
âDo you hear that? A whole raspberry already?â She said, her voice wobbling and he giggled, sitting back in his seat and rubbing his cheeks with his sleeve. âI am good at this cooking thing, might as well call me an easy bake oven,â
Spencer shook his head with another chuckle, his eyes trailing back to the little blob on the screen that looked more like a toy alien than anything else, and held her hand between both of his like he was in prayer.Â
Because Spencer never believed in anything sacred and divine until he met Bugsy.
MONTH THREE. The one where they tell everyone.
âWhat are you doing?â Bugsy jumped out of her skin as JJ all but materialised behind her. She looked over her shoulder guiltily, her hand still half way through pouring out her mug of coffee Derek had handed her before he left to get lunch.Â
She turned to see the blonde with her own steaming mug of decaf in her hands. Sheâd been taking the lack of caffeine much better this time around since having a second baby to breastfeed, considering she was nothing short of evil when sheâd had Henry, which had been Spencerâs words not Bugsyâs. And it wasnât as if the woman could blame her. She was grouchy when she didnât get her regular dose even before being pregnancy, Derek had once gotten a kick to the shin when heâd disturbed her on a day sheâd been too busy to grab one on her way to the office.Â
She was a fiend for the bitter god. And everyone knew it. Which was exactly why JJâs eyebrows were all but raised into her hairline seeing the girl who would usually be in the stages of withdrawal by now tipping the drink away.Â
âUh, the milk tasted funky,â She excused, though the way JJ narrowed her eyes at the poor excuse told her it hadnât passed by a mile.Â
âRight, the milk that Hotch picked up this morning?â JJ pursed her lips, sliding her own mug onto the side and jutting her hip.Â
And as if he were summoned, Hotch sidled up to the kitchenette, Rossi and Tara hot on his heels as they flicked through some paperwork, and his head shot up the minute he heard his name.Â
His eyes trailed to where the girl flipped her mug upside on the drying rack, and his brow furrowed.Â
âIs everything alright?â He asked, and she huffed in response, wiping her hands on her jeans.Â
âYes, Iâm fine,â She grumbled, shaking her head, âI donât know what youâre all so wound up about, itâs not like Iâm dying, I just donât feel like coffee today-â
âOh my god,â Penelope gasped where she crept behind Hotch with her very favourite octopus mug in tow, one that was nearly thrown to the floor when she heard the words pour from the girlâs mouth, âAre you sick? Like in the body or in the head? Rossi, check her pulse, Iâm going to get a thermometer-â
âPen, Iâm fine,â She said unconvincingly and she tried to skirt past the group that seemed to have her surrounded. Seeing Spencer pulling up the rear in search of lunch she felt herself sigh in relief, because he would think of a much better excuse than she ever could.Â
She had barely been able to keep her mouth shut for the months they had been secretly dating, and had relished in the peace it brought her when everyone knew. But the midwife had said it was common to keep things under wraps at least until the first trimester was over. Apparently the million of questions that were sure to be heading their way would cause her unnecessary stress, though sheâd argue having to sneak to the sink every morning and dispose of a delicious looking coffee was torture enough.Â
âWhatâs up?â Spencer asked as she ducked towards him, his hand consciously wrapping around her waist, and she huffed again, looking to him with a silent plea.
âTheyâre profiling me,â Bugsy said, and he felt his gut knot because he should have known it wouldnât be long before they caught on. It was their job to pick apart out of the ordinary behaviour, and Bugsy going teetotal on caffeine was definitely something of a head turner.
âI told you that diet would cause a stir,â He joked, hoping they bought his pathetic attempt of an excuse, as he gave her side a gentle squeeze, and hoped that he could lead her back to her desk like she was a lost little lamb being prowled upon by nosy wolves that rarely took no for an answer.Â
And it almost worked, almost, until JJ snapped her fingers and pointed at his wandering hand.Â
âSee that, that is the fourth time youâve been all touchy and weird this week,â The blonde surprised, her brows furrowing, âBugsy hates PDA, usually by now she would have whacked you over the head and called you a perv,â
Bugsy smashed her lips together because she couldnât exactly disagree with her. Thatâs exactly what she usually did. Usually would tell Spencer to stop being so horny in a place of work even if she felt her cheeks heat at the delicate grabs of her stomach fat.Â
But whether it was the little bean now around the size of a small lemon that had made her mellow and affectionate, or whether the lack of caffeine really was making her feel vulnerable, she wasnât sure. And the whole thing was only made worse by Hotchâs eyes burning into the side of her, and she felt the trail of his gaze head straight for her stomach.Â
âCome to think of it, I only saw you with a lime and soda at Savannahâs birthday last week,â Rossi pointed out, wagging his finger in her direction, his brown hues widening in thought, âWhen Penelope asked if you wanted tequila you said-â
âIâm all tequila-ed out,â Penelope chimed in with the same frown, âBut that canât be, when have you ever been tequila-ed out, thatâs like impossible, even that night we had to help Spencer get you in the shower because youâd thrown up everywhere you were demanding more,â
She felt her cheeks heat thinking about her twenty ninth birthday, or atleast the parts of it she could remember of it before the rest of the gaps were filled with black spaces of time that she guessed had been robbed from her by the shots she piled on.Â
âMaybe I just didnât feel like tequila, can a girl not live in the moment?â She tried to rebuttal, only Penelope gave her a blank look that told her to try again because the Bugsy she knew would slap her for saying something so dumb. She opened her mouth to correct her again, but Hotch beat her to it.Â
âYou know Hayley got really affectionate a couple months into being pregnant,â The man said, his eyes swirling with something proud and warm when he saw Bugsyâs head flick to him like sheâd been caught red handed, which they had. âThough, if you ask me I think she was just a little sorry for herself that I took the coffee away,â
There was a beat of silence, and the room held its breath. Even Tara, who had only known them the best part of a few months raised her hand to her mouth in shock, and Bugsy shot a look at Spencer in utter defeat.Â
âWe tried,â She said with her shoulders shrugging, and it was then that the office was filled with a piercing scream that turned a fair few heads and the infamous octopus mug was thrown clear across the kitchen floor, one of his tentacles snapping clean off.Â
âOH MY GOD, ITâS TRUE? YOUâRE PREGNANT?â Penelope wailed like a banshee, and Bugsy couldnât help but break into a smile, nodding at the woman who screeched again and yanked her in for a tight hug, âOh my god, there's going to be three of you, three geniuses, three little einsteins that I want to smush together and kiss all over-âÂ
âGarcia, I think she needs air if sheâs going to make another little genius,â Rossi said, and the tech analyst pulled away aghast, cupping Bugsyâs face that was still grinning ear to ear with a chuckle.
âOh my god, I didnât hurt you did I? Or the baby- Oh my god thereâs a baby in there!âÂ
Hotch wrapped a rare yet tender arm around Spencerâs shoulder, giving him a little pat and a âCongratulationsâ while Rossi smiled knowingly between the couple and JJ had her turn smothering Bugsy in a tearful hug.Â
And by the time Derek had walked into the office with his everything bagel hanging between his teeth and a tea in his hands, his onyx hues fell to Penelope, JJ and Bugsy exchanging weepy words while Tara handed them tissues with her own sparkling eyes.
âWhat fresh hell did I miss?â
MONTH FOUR. The one where she starts looking different.
She huffed, her fingers gripping the edge of her jeans and yanking them up her thighs as far as they would go. She felt like everything had shrunk in the wash, or like she was trying on a dollâs wardrobe. Surely she hadnât gained that much weight in just a few months, but then again sheâd been all but living off chocolate pudding cups since the Bean decided it wanted sugar, sugar and more sugar.Â
She grunted in annoyance, her arms and back aching where she was leaning over to pull at the infernal things. She barely had a second to pout childishly, before kind hands were wrapping around her stomach and a mouth kissed at her neck tenderly.Â
âWhatâs wrong? Talk to me,â His voice was honey sweet, thick and goopy with love overflowing as he pulled her to his chest, his hand caressed the bump that seemed to be getting in the way of her and her favourite jeans. Spencer knew she tried to ignore the symptoms that almost every woman felt during pregnancy, he knew she compared herself to how JJ had handled both pregnancies gracefully and looked better than ever even as a mother of two. He knew she hated complaining because she didnât want him to think she was miserable carrying their kid, but god was she getting sick of her clothes pinching her in.
âIâm getting fatter,â Bugsy grumbled, her eyes darting to the vivid lines that had deepened into the crease of her hips within a few weeks and she winced, âIâm not even halfway, how does this kid want to eat pudding all the time?âÂ
Spencer frowned, shaking his head slightly because he refrained from telling her what a silly statement it was, knowing it would only make her feel worse, and instead pressed delicate kisses to her jaw, squeezing her closer. Heâd noticed the stretch marks, just as heâd noticed her face and hips gathering weight a bit more than usual, and was just grateful there was even more Bugsy to love.Â
âYouâre eating for two, youâre literally growing a whole life inside of you. I think that is more than enough grounds to eat whatever you want,â He murmured, biting the inside of his cheek when she sighed as though she didnât believe him, âHoney, clothes are replaceable. What your bodyâs trying to do is create a little bubble around you and this little pudding fiend so you can feed them when theyâre out here,âÂ
Bugsy knew he was right. Sheâd spent well over a hundred hours researching hormone levels and how pregnant bodies are changing all hours of the day to accommodate the foetus, she knew it was normal for things to look different. Had it been on anyone else she wouldnât have batted an eye. But it didnât make the sting of seeing her body morph into one she didnât recognise any less harsh.
âI know,â She hummed somewhat defeated, turning in his arms to press her face in his neck, âI just didnât expect it to happen so fast is all,â
Spencer smiled warmly, because every day he thought she had gotten impossibly prettier. He hadnât believed in âpregnancy glowâ, in fact heâd chalked it down to some sort of innate scientific survival tactic that associated a vulnerable woman with looking angelic, at least not until heâd woken up to see her stomach protruding from her pyjama top in a clear curve shape and he thought her face looked like she should be in some Monet painting, dozing in a field like a wide eyed doe.Â
âI know, itâs a lot for anyone to go through. But you know Iâm so grateful for you,â Spencer said, and he felt her smile without even seeing it. Her fingers wove into his hair at the nape of his neck, kissing a trail up his chest because he suspected she looked somewhat embarrassed. âBesides, Iâm not complaining. It means I get to do this,âÂ
She felt two large hands grab at the fat of her bum cheeks and she squeaked in surprise, even though she heard him laugh in her ear at her reaction. That had been another thing sheâd noticed, and how could she not. Penelope said just the other day that she was âbaking a bun in the oven and cake in the trunkâ with a little wink, and sheâd had to excuse herself quickly for lack of a response.Â
And Spencer wasnât lying. He wasnât complaining with any of it, not by a long shot.Â
MONTH FIVE. The one with the mood swings.
âSo you guys really donât want to know the sex?â JJ asked, sipping on her tea as she chatted with Bugsy who was balancing biscuits on top of her now protruding stomach. It was as if overnight the baby had stretched out enough to make themselves a damn penthouse suite in Bugsyâs tummy.Â
âWe want it to be a surprise, either way weâre going to love the little bean, even if they do keep kicking my bladder at four am,â She said, balancing the tenth cookie on the tower sheâd made, reaching over carefully for another one, âI swear if the bean kicks my cookie tower Iâm giving them a hideous name,â
âItâs good to feel the baby kicking at this stage, it helps develop their joints and bones so theyâre stronger when theyâre born.â Spencer inputted helpfully as he slid a fresh mug of decaf tea over to her desk.
âNext time the baby kicks your uterus walls, Spence, gimme a shout and weâll discuss how great it is,â Bugsy said with a small smile and he paused, looking at JJ as if he was caught in a trap, suddenly well aware of his mistake.Â
âPoint taken,â He conceded quietly, and JJ chuckled because sheâd seen Will just as hesitant to piss her off in both of her pregnancies. And she knew Bugsy would never hold it against him, that Spencerâs head just ran away from him sometimes.Â
She halted her little game and carefully leaned over to draw the mug to her lips, too impatient to wait for it to cool down fully and she barely spotted Derek swooping around the corner of the desk.
âGood morning, Mommies and Daddy Genius,â He greeted in that chirpy tone, his hand snatching up the top cookie and scarfing it down before she could protest.Â
Bugsy shared her snacks all the time, it was a no brainer that they took a bite here and there out of each other's goodies before they could get a smack to the wrist. And Derek had certainly noticed a few of his Rolos missing the last time he bought a pack, and a particularly cheerful Bugsy smirking at him over her desk.Â
It wasnât a huge deal, and yet Bugsy sat up in a gasp, and the entire biscuit tower fell to a crumbling mess on the floor.Â
âWell done, princess, Hotch is going to-â Derek stopped mid sentence when he saw her sniffle, and his eyes widened at the sight of her eyes glistening with tears, âBugsy- are you okay-â
âMy cookies! Derek!â She whined pitifully, and she buried her face in her hands, âMy cookies, I was so going to eat the shit out of those, they were gonna be so good, Derek,âÂ
Morgan looked gobsmacked, his head whipping between the woman leaning against the desk with an understanding smile and Spencer who was already rubbing her shoulders with his lips smashed together, trying not to laugh.Â
âHoney, itâs okay, he didnât mean to,â Her partner tried to coo, though he couldnât help but feel sorry for the way Derek scrambled to draw out his wallet.Â
âIâll get you more, Bug, I swear, they sell them by the deli down the street, right?â He asked, jittering in his bones because heâd never made her cry before. He worried or a moment Hotch might just put him on sabbatical leave for such an offense. Emily would probably fly to Virginia just to cave his skull in, âIâm sorry, Iâll go get more, Iâll even get you strawberry milk-â
âChocolate milk,â She wailed, and JJ slid a box of tissues over to the pitiful girl with a silent snicker. She remembered all too well the feeling of unexplained emotion crashing over her, and she didnât doubt that the tough faced Bugsy would be back to normal any moment soon.
âChocolate milk, got it,â Derek said, with a nod, and he all but darted for the elevators, in a hurry Spencer somewhat suspected was down to the fact he feared for his life if Penelope got a whiff of what happened.
Bugsy sniffled for a moment, drawing a tissue out the box and dabbing her eyes sullenly, her feelings slightly worse for wear even if she had a small inkling of doubt that she was really so torn up about the cookies as her body made it seem.Â
But she had been thinking about them all morning; made herself promise she would only eat them once she got the stack fifteen high at least.Â
âAre you okay, baby?â Spencer asked, his gaze empathetic as she snuffled her sobs into the palm of her hands. He wasnât too worried, even if he hated seeing her cry just as much as anyone else did. And it wasnât that he didnât take her seriously. But when sheâd been crying just that morning because her shower gel spilled on the floor and tipped almost all the way out, or even when sheâd stepped on a snail walking into the building and smushed it into the ground, effectively killing it, he seemed to be getting used to her mood swings.Â
She sniffed woefully, âI was really looking forward to those, and now I think I was too mean to Derek andâŚâ Her eyes glistened with fresh tears, and the sight of it made Spencer sigh, leaning forward to kiss the side of her head because it must be difficult being so out of your usual self for nine months.Â
âAnd what?â He prompted softly. Only she burst out crying again, reaching forward to drag him into a hug that told him she was feeling extra sorry for herself.
He wouldnât blame her. Would sit through every weep and sob and tantrum if it meant he got to show her even more times over that he loved her endlessly.Â
However he did have to hold in the giggle when she wailed; âI think I really do want strawberry milk,âÂ
MONTH SIX. The one with the false labour.Â
She had been in Hotchâs office when she felt it.Â
Embarrassingly so, her first thought was trapped gas. Sheâd gotten a lot of that considering the baby had decided it craved spice, and had been planning to excuse herself when it felt like her whole abdomen seized as if sheâd been hit with a particularly nasty period cramp.Â
Her hand flew to her stomach where she sat with Hotch reviewing her latest reports, the same quarterly check the whole team was mandated to have with their boss since Cruz became section chief. Hotch didnât miss a beat, the folder in his hand hitting the desk in an instant as he tensed, looking at her with caution.Â
âAre you alright?â He asked, and she held her breath for a moment. Spencer was out with Rossi giving a lecture in Washington DC, JJ had the day off for her momâs birthday, Penelope and Morgan were taking Tara to lunch to show her a few more of their regular spots. It was just them and Anderson in the office for the next few hours, possibly the worst time out of any to have an empty floor.Â
âYeah- I just, woah,â Her stomach gave another lurch of a painful twist and her hand slapped on the table to keep herself steady. She breathed through the pain, because sheâd had much worse only that wasnât what was making her heart race. It was fear. Because she wasnât due for another twelve weeks at least, and while sheâd heard of babyâs being born as premature as six months, she knew premy babies suffered major complications later on, let alone the stress their body goes under during the actual birth.Â
Bean, as the team had affectionately named the baby since the couple had firmly decided they didnât want to know the sex, was about the size of red cabbage, tiny in the scheme of things even though it felt like just a few minutes ago they were a grain of rice.Â
âOkay, itâs okay, stay calm,â Hotch said in a smooth voice, gentle yet reassuring as he rounded his desk in a flash and put his hand on her shoulder, âDo you feel like you need to use the toilet? Any back ache or irritability?âÂ
Bugsy breathed out through her nose as her lungs jittered with nerves, âN-no, I donât need the bathroom, why would that matter?âÂ
Aaron stroked a large kind hand down her spine, watching her face scrunch in pain for a second time, and he slowly began directing her towards the door, taking small steps so she wasnât rushing. âNeeding to use the bathroom is an early sign of labour, itâs your body's way of helping expand your pelvis to accommodate the head. Any back ache or frustration at all?âÂ
He didnât care that heâd had to repeat himself, not even when he was usually so against it, because he could feel the own unease rising in his throat like bile even if he tried to keep his face as neutral as possible.Â
He would be damned if he let her see how worried he was, and so he swallowed heavily, holding his other hand out for her to take when they approached the stairs. Anderson was on his feet in seconds when he saw his unit chief leading the woman with a tightly concealed frown, fumbling around for his phone.Â
âAgent Prentiss?â He exclaimed, darting around the mess of chairs and paper and desks to approach them, âWould you like me to call Dr Reid? An ambulance, perhaps?âÂ
âShe's alright, Iâm driving her to the ER, thank you Anderson,â Aaron responded politely, his hand still resting on her back, and the agent nodded, digging around for his keys.Â
âI can drive, if youâd like to ride in the back with her,â Grant offered with worried eyes as Bugsyâs face crumpled in agony again, and Hotchâs head whipped to her, and his composure crumbled for a moment.Â
âBugsy, hey, itâs okay, weâre gonna be okay, honey,â He cooed, and Anderson was quick to open the glass doors, âDid you pack a bag at all-â
âNo, Spencer told me I should but I said it was too early, why is that man always right,â She grumbled, her footsteps weary and jittery as the three of them got into the elevator.Â
Hotch fought a smile, trying to remember everything heâd memorised before Hailey had Jack. The 5-1-1 rule blared through his head, and he glanced at his watch for a fraction of a second, and he wondered for a moment if he was going to have to write off a company vehicle for the fact his youngest agent gave birth in the back seat.Â
âIâm afraid thatâs just how Reid operates,â Hotch said, pulling his phone out to dial the man in question and let him know where they were headed, âItâs probably nothing, Hailey was getting cramps all the time once she reached her third trimester, but weâll get you checked out to be safe,âÂ
âReally?â She looked at him with pitiful eyes and he nodded with a tight smile, committing to his illusion of calmness even if he swore he hadnât felt so scared in months.Â
Because it wasnât just Bugsy anymore, it was Bugsy and her baby. Her and Reidâs baby. The two people who deserved their happy ending more so than anyone else he knew.Â
And he felt her hand slip into his then as she accepted his answer, in fact she didnât let go the entire time she waited on Spencer and Aaron was in no rush to leave her side. Even when she lay back on the table and had the midwife checking everything over, he stayed by her head (no doubt to avoid a very awkward conversation), stroked her hair when she fretted through a few more cramps, even when Spencer burst in through the door with Morgan at his heels looking like the two of them had just ran a marathon.
âIs everything okay- whatâs wrong- do you need fluids- do you need ice-â Spencer rushed on his odd breath, his chest puffing with inhales, and he pretended he wasnât seeing stars floating across his vision.Â
âIâm assuming by your reaction youâre dad,â The nurse said, pulling off the blue gloves and dropping her mask from her mouth.
âYes, he is, heâs dad,â Morgan filled in for him as Spencer all but fell back against the wall, because he really should have drank something other than soda and coffee this morning. He was close to swaying on his feet when he stepped over to his girlfriend, and she took his hand in the her own, or atleast the one that wasnât occupied by Hotchâs tight hold.Â
âDonât worry, everything is alright with mom and baby,â She said, noting down a few things on her chart and the four of them took an audible sigh of relief, âBraxton Hicks contractions are very common in your final trimester, it probably felt like a lot because your baby is moving to into the anterior position ready for birth,âÂ
Bugsyâs head flopped back against the pillow in comfort and she forced herself to take a few deep breaths, willing her heart rate to go back to normal. Braxton Hicks, she should have known. Her head had been fuzzy the past few weeks as it was, but she supposed the moment sheâd thought there might be something wrong with the Bean, all of her logic had flown out the window.Â
But at least sheâd had Hotch to keep her level headed, and-
âOh my god, Anderson,â She jolted up, her legs stuck in the stirrups the midwife had place her into while she examined everything, âWe need to tell Anderson, the poor guy was so worried,â
Hotch chose not to tell her heâd seen Anderson go as white as a ghost the second sheâd turned her back, and instead patted her leg as Spencer went to speak to the midwife a little more, no doubt picking apart every single symptom sheâd presented in that huge, worried head of his.Â
âDonât worry, Iâm sure Anderson is fine, honey,â He said earnestly, and she looked at him like a kicked puppy, entirely sorry for the panic sheâd caused, âLetâs just get you your underwear back, huh?â
MONTH SEVEN. The one where they decorate the nursery.
âWhat about Elias,âÂ
âVeto,â
Bugsy pulled a shunned expression as she carefully rolled the wallpaper up the wall.Â
âMason? Niko, stop,â She proposed, one hand on the wall while using the other to push the nosey feline away from the wet paste sheâd been brushing on the wall.Â
He sat politely at her chide, blinking at her with those big eyes as he watched her work with a twitching tail, almost entertained at the woman who had ballooned up in just a few weeks struggling to do a relatively easy task.Â
âHmm, Mason can go on the bench,â Spencer responded where he was sitting at the other end of the wall doing the same thing only much faster, though sheâd argue it was a little easier since he wasn't carrying a large coconut strapped to his stomach.
Theyâd left the apartment just two weeks ago. Derek had been the one to help them cart their small amount of furniture into the modest house on the outskirts of West Springfield. It was large by Spencerâs standards, even if Bugsy had seen what grandeur looked like in her own childhood homes, but it didnât matter. Because walls and floors and fancy grand pianos had never bought her love. Yet the first evening theyâd spent in their new home they had slept on a mattress on the floor, the list of things to do the following day rattling around their heads. But they had a home. They had the picket fence with the nice school down the road and the bus stop within eyesight of the kitchen where their kid would one day walk to their door with a book bag and glasses like Spencerâs.Â
She had never felt like she belonged somewhere until she had a home with him.Â
âWhat about Ada for a girl?â Spencer called over his shoulder, where he had almost caught up to where she was still working on the small patch of wall. The paper was proving frustrating for her swollen fingers, considering the entire thing, when put together, made up a mural of little woodland creatures amidst a forest and left zero room for error, âNamed after Ada Lovelace, the woman who pioneered computers,â
Considering it for a moment, she nodded, âThatâs pretty. Ada makes top ten,âÂ
Flipping the last part up to stick against the thick glue, she ran her hands over the seams to be sure it aligned perfectly with the rest of the picture. Satisfied when it matched and a little fox stared down at her, she smiled, tilting her head up where Spencer was standing over her, watching her concentrate.Â
âAll done!â She chirped, and he bent down to give her a kiss to her puckered lips, sliding a hand beneath her arm to help her up.Â
âLooks perfect, youâre really carrying the team honey,â He mused as she got to her feet with a little whine, wrapping her arms around his middle in a proud hug.Â
âI know, what would you ever do without me?âÂ
He laughed, looking at her with an adoring gaze.
The light cracked through the open window, laying over her face delicately. The house was still bare, still in need of carpets and a good dusting, still had leaky pipes and ants in the pantry. Yes, they had a pantry now. But it was a start. It was a home.Â
âI say we leave the cradle for another day, baby is calling for frozen grapes again,â She said, rubbing a hand over her protruding belly button and he smiled. Spencer could have sworn he was the luckiest guy in the world when he called her his friend. He thought maybe he should have bought a lottery ticket the same day she told him she loved him. The day she became his girlfriend he thinks he may have died and the past three years have been purely a dream.Â
But watching the breeze kiss her cheeks and stroke her hair, watching her eyes rove over the room that would keep their baby safe and warm in just a few weeks, even seeing her smile at him like he had handed her the whole universe in a box when she was the one growing a whole human inside her; Spencer felt like his life was so much better than he ever hoped it would be.Â
âFrozen grapes, coming right up,â He said, slipping his fingers in between his to help her down the winding staircase which had been a winner for her immediately. Itâs like we have a castle, Spence. âYou or the baby could ask for a whole damn ox and Iâd give it to you.��
She laughed, holding onto the bannister as they headed downstairs to the kitchen that was in dire need of fresh paint.Â
âWhat if I said baby wants a holiday to Cancun and another cat,âÂ
âIâd say baby is onto something there,â Spencer said, sweeping her from the final step and giving her a wet kiss to her head, âBut first, grapes.â
MONTH EIGHT. The one where she gets cranky.
âOh my god,â She groaned as she threw herself into her wheely chair, her button up shirt barely accommodating her stomach that was well and truly ready to pop. Â
Derek Morgan loved her, he truly loved her like she was one of his sisters, dare say he had loved her since that day heâd carried her out of the church she was held hostage in by Cyrus. He had seen her at her rock bottom, had seen her graduate with flying colours, had even put his job on the line for her; covered her back from a stupid mistake at a bar when she popped a little molly on government pay.Â
Derek loved her. He did. But the moment he saw her slump into her chair, her face scrunched up in frustration, he was collecting his mug of coffee and all but bolting for the door and heading straight for Penelopeâs lair.Â
âBack pain again?â JJ asked, flitting past a very frantic Morgan and heading towards Rossiâs office with a stack of papers in her arms. Bugsy let out something close to a growl in return, and JJ took it as a yes.
âI swear I have been pregnant for years,â She huffed, barely reaching over to where her keyboard sat at her desk. Tara nudged it forward for her to grab, because it seemed like she was on her breaking point enough as it was, and received a brief nod of thanks âI canât remember a time when my back didnât hurt, or my boobs were aching or my head wasnât all fuzzy and weird and- OH for the love of god SWITCH ON YOU PIECE OF SHIT,âÂ
JJâs brows raised as the keyboard mouse went flying off the side of her desk in protest, rolling straight past where Hotch and Spencer were strolling through the office, her boyfriend carrying the biggest Strawberry Milkshake he could find on this side of town.Â
If Hotch wanted to say anything about her damaging property, he thought it smarter to keep his mouth shut as she swivelled to face the two of them, her expression already irritated by the worried stare they shot her way.Â
âWhat?â She said with a bite, and Spencer raised his hands in surrender, which left her gaze to slide to Hotch.Â
And Hotch loved her too, loved her more than he would ever admit. But he swore he the second her eyes clamped on his, Aaron Hotchner considered an exorcism might be necessary.Â
âWhat, what are you staring at me for?â She snapped, throwing her hands out like a bratty teenager, and Hotch cleared his throat before he spoke, something embarrassingly close to fear shaking his vocal chords.
âHave you given any more thought to maternity leave, yet?â He asked and her eye twitched, and it was as if he saw the stapler was next on her list of things to send flying off the table, preferably straight at his head. âI would be more than happy to pull some strings so you take longer off after the baby is born, maybe even Spencer could start his paternity early-â
âWhat?â She said for a third time, like she was a broken record. And she knew she was being unfair, perhaps even cruelly so. But she would make it up to them later, when she was in a better frame of mind. Her underwear rode up and pinched where her uterus had begun to drop, her trousers itched for whatever reason, her face was hot from just walking from the elevator to her chair and that was just since sheâd entered the office. She hadnât got much energy for showers anymore and so washing her hair became some ugly affair where Spencer got in with her and did it for her, only last time he put a little too much product on and got the suds in her eyes and they had spent twenty minutes rinsing her face, naked and dripping wet, over the sink. She felt awful, awful for how she was being so irrationally rude, but it was like every inch of her being was uncomfortable. And there was still another month to go.
âGood god, man, donât poke the bear,â Tara hummed as she passed, taking her own half full mug to the kitchen to escape whatever was rumbling in that hot head of hers.Â
Hotch swallowed heavily, noticing how Spencer stayed deadly quiet no doubt because heâd learned his lesson in trying to force Bugsy into doing something when she was like this, âIâm saying I think it would be good for you to take some time off, youâve both worked hard enough as it is and with the baby being so close, it would be good to take it easy for a few weeks-âÂ
She pressed her lips together, because she knew he was probably trying to help, probably trying to be considerate, and yet the heat of annoyance bubbled up inside her all the same like a kettle on the precipice of boiling.
âIf you want the big scary pregnant lady out of your way just spit it out, Hotch,â She snapped, scowling at him in a way he remembered Hailey doing when he so much as sneezed too loud.
And he couldnât find it in him to be mad at her. Because anyone with eyes saw she was uncomfortable, he knew if she was anything like his own ex-wife then she wouldnât be sleeping nearly as much as she should, that more than likely their kid would be already kicking with long, scrawny legs to get out and show the world what they were made of.Â
Hotch was saved from the firing line when his guess was proved almost immediately, and she groaned with a hand to her abdomen.Â
âSpencer, would you tell your kid theyâre not a linebacker and that my kidneys arenât the damn ball,â She complained, and her partner flashed her a brave smile, leaning over her to rub where she was caressing her battered organs.Â
âActually, right about here will be your spleen since the baby has pushed everything around at this stage-â And with that Hotch darted towards his office because Bugsy looked ready to clip someone around the ear, and he didnât have the heart to write her up for it.
Although for the sanctity of his team, he rushed her documents through the same afternoon and gave her an extra four weeks pay in lieu of a truce.Â
MONTH NINE. The one with the birth.
It had been fourteen hours already when the doctor mentioned the word caesarean.Â
âCaesarean? We never planned for a C-section,â Bugsyâs eyes widened where she was intermittently sucking down gas and air, Spencer patting her forehead down with an ice wet cloth.Â
But then again she supposed she had never planned to go into labour when getting the laundry off the washing line while Spence painted the porch.Â
He looked at her with nervous hazel hues where her face sparkled with sweat and water, her hand squeezing him tightly as another contraction hit.Â
âIâm afraid we have few options left, Miss Prentiss,â The midwife said, a woman around her age that was already masked up after prodding around her cervix for a few hours, âFourteen hours is rough on anyone and weâre not seeing any movement past your pelvis. Any longer and you or your baby might be at risk,â
And it was the truth, but it was a harsh one, and tears sprung to her eyes hearing those last few words. She had never had any delusions it would be easy giving birth, it was revered as the most painful thing anyone could go through, but she had assumed on a hope and a prayer that things would go smoothly.Â
âI know itâs scary,â Spencer found his voice after a second, their hands clasped tightly together because there was more chance of snow in hell than there was he was letting her do this alone, âBut, baby, youâre doing so well, and youâre almost there,â He said in a watery sweet tone, dabbing at her brow once more and the two of them exchanged a teary look, âItâs going to be okay, youâre going to be okay, theyâre going to numb you for the whole thing and when itâs over weâre going to have our baby, huh?âÂ
She smiled ruefully because he was trying desperately to cheer her up, even though it sounded like he was reassuring himself just as much as he was her.
And she nodded, because she knew he was right, and more than anything she wanted their baby to be safe, even if it meant having her insides scooped out like she was some russian nesting doll.Â
âO-okay, yeah, c-can Spencer stay with me?â She asked nervously, and the midwife smiled, pressing a button to call for the anesthesiologist.
âOfcourse, honey. Just try to relax, weâre going to arrange an epidural for you,â She said in a voice that told Bugsy sheâd practised staying calm in an emergency a thousand times.Â
Bugsy breathed through her nose, feeling Spencer swoop in to wipe the lone few tears dribbling down her cheeks.Â
âItâs gonna be okay, weâre gonna be okay,â He said, his voice bustling with nerves and she wanted to tell him the same, wanted to tell him she loved him more than ever for trying to put a brave face on for her sake. But she couldnât, so she nodded frantically, leaning her forehead against his cheek and taking a few more deep breaths.Â
â
âYouâre doing great, honey, youâre being so brave,â Spencer reassured in his biggest voice, his hand carding over the side of her hot face gently. There was blood, there was so much blood, and the sound of her monitor was the only sound that was constant and not at all worrying with its steady heart beat.Â
The midwives were flitting around the room, the lead obstetrician making careful incisions and handing various things Spencer didnât want to see over to his co-workers. Because he loved their baby already, couldnât wait to meet the mini him heâd been dreaming about since he was a boy himself, but Bugsy needed him first. She was his everything, his whole life, his whole universe fading between clear consciousness and a slightly loopy gaze as she relaxed on the table.Â
âIs it over? Are they here, are they okay?â She slurred, looking over at him where his hair was covered in a blue scrub cap, his entire body wrapped in protective uniform to minimise the risk of infection on her body.Â
He cradled her face again, shaking his head, âNot yet honey, youâre doing so good, itâs nearly over,â Spencer said, pressing his brow against hers because he had a mask over his mouth and couldnât kiss her properly, âI love you so much, I swear Iâll try every day of my life to repay you,âÂ
âYouâre being mushy, youâre freaking me out,â She joked as if she was her regular self, because the midwives had all warned him that the sedatives would take the edge off her nerves. And he chuckled, even if he was worrying enough for the two of them, sniffling behind the stuffy mask he had to keep on until she was in recovery.Â
âIâm sorry, baby, I just want you to be okay,â Spencer said earnestly, and he pressed a kiss to her head anyway even if she wouldnât feel it with his mask, âIâm gonna get you so many milkshakes when this is-â
There was a wail behind the curtain they had draped over her stomach, and both their breaths stopped in their chests.Â
âIs thatâŚâ Bugsy started, her eyes wide and alert even if seconds ago she had been almost drunk, âIs that it- is that them?â
And another scream resounded around the room as if to answer her.Â
Spencer swore he had never felt tears well in his eyes so fast until one of the midwives brought a wriggling, wrinkly bundle around the curtain, and within seconds he felt his cheeks sodden with tears.Â
âOh my god,â He said his smile reaching his eyes as the little creature was put on Bugsyâs chest, and it was only then he realised she was weeping too and he resumed his position stroking her head, âItâs a-â
âItâs a girl! Spencer, we have a girl!â Bugsyâs grin went from ear to ear, her eyes round and adoring at the ugly, scrunched face still screaming at them, her eyes closed and her skin covered in a white goop, âOh my god, sheâs so beautiful,âÂ
âI told you sheâd take after you,â Spencer said, not minding the nurses sewing Bugsy up as they stared at their little girl, Bugsyâs arms holding her body weight delicately though she didnât quite know what she was doing.Â
Spencer was quick to remove the mask once they cleared him to, and the second he was freed he pushed his lips to his girlfriendâs, their mouths equally as salty and sodden as one another with the way their cheeks washed with tears. Pulling away, he looked at her in the eyes, the same eyes heâd always loved, the same eyes heâd know in any life, in any world, in any fog, and their smiles were damn near blinding.Â
âI love you so much, I swear Iâm going to make it up to you, anything you want,â Spencer said, kissing her again, his hand resting over hers where she held their baby girl on her bare chest.Â
She didnât have the heart to tell him she already had everything sheâd ever wanted right there with her.Â
âI love you so much more, Spencer,â She said quietly, the two of them pulling away when the little girl squealed again and they chuckled, quickly rushing to calm her cries as they looked at her as if they had yet to realise she was real and she was theirs, âOh my god Spencer, youâre a daddy,â
âBugsy, youâre a mommy,â He said with raised brows and she gasped, giggling with glee as her free hand flew to grab his face and pull him in to kiss her again, âWeâre a mommy and daddy,âÂ
The two of them burst out laughing even though overjoyed tears lined their eyes again, and Spencer trailed a large finger down her chubby cheek softly, her skin shrivelled and pruney like sheâd been submerged in a bath for too long.Â
âSpencer, sheâs perfect,â She said after a moment, her breath completely stolen when she took her in, the small head completely covered in dark hair, which she had already suspected would be there from the amount of times she found herself itching at her stomach. Her tiny fists waved in the air as her sobs subsided, beginning to warm up to the skin on Bugsyâs chest, and Spencer audibly choked in a cry of his own when her eyelids slowly blinked open and revealed forest hues damn near identical to his own. He pushed his temple to Bugsyâs again as she carefully swayed her from side to side.
âIâm never going to let anything hurt you,â He murmured, his breath warm on her collarbone and his baby girl stared back at him like she understood, even though he knew that was pretty much impossible, âEither of you,âÂ
Bugsy sniffled with a wobbly smile, her hands shaking as she held her daughter up, âDo you want to hold her?âÂ
Spencer looked ready to wail all over again, not that she would ever hold it against him. The two of them had been weeping all day, and their kid was a real tear jerker to look at with her thick lashes and wide eyes.Â
He was quick to pop open his shirt, holding his hands out nervously as she placed the baby in his arms, his fingers supporting under her head the whole time he brought her to his chest.Â
Bugsy smiled, the midwife checking in with her for a moment before they were ready to wheel her into the other room to rest up, while Spencer looked entirely enamoured with the little bundle in his arms.Â
He was a dad. He had made this beautiful, perfect little girl with the woman he loved more than anything in the world, and somehow she had given him even more reasons to feel so lucky.Â
âHello, you,â He said through bleary eyes, smiling through a chuckle when he saw just how tiny she looked in his arms, and he had never seen anything look so fragile, âIâm going to try be the best dad you could ever have, okay? Iâm gonna be there for all the lame parties, and the sleepovers and the big games and every single time you need help on your homework, Iâm gonna be right there with you.âÂ
âWhat name are we putting on the chart?â The midwife asked as Bugsy watched Spencer murmur to the sweet face that looked up at him in wonder, âOr is it just Baby Girl Prentiss for the moment?âÂ
âItâs Reid,â Bugsy said with a smile, as Spencer poured even more of his gentle heart out in promises she knew he would keep until the day he died. And she knew without checking with him the name they chose weeks ago was perfect; the one theyâd decided on just a few days after the nursery was finished and she had yet another bowl of frozen grapes to chow down on while they admired their work.Â
One for his mother, one for Emily.Â
âAna Emilia Reid,â

omg i just got to know u write for jjk too!! I originaly was following you because of your valorant stuff and i love your writing style and those cute gifs you add at the start of every post <3
If its not alot can you please make some short drabbles/headcannons for the jjk men (gojo, geto, nanami, toji, sukuna, choso, megumi) where its late at night you are all cuddled up and you hear something from downstairs, the man get all protective thinking its an intruder and go check it out. ( you can make it an actual intruder and add a lil fight scene or make it a racoon or a stray cat and make it cute its upto u)
Im sorry if i sound wierd english is not my first language đ
Intruder Alert
(Gojo, Geto, Nanami, Todo, Sukuna, Choso, Megumi)
A/N : UMMM first off I read Toji as Todo soo.. sorry about that one. Second off thank you so much for the request!! I kinda made these more cracked out than I expected them to be.. I hope you still enjoy and I can always do more if you want.
CW : intruders (duh), casual murder (geto), gojo being an ominous being, Sukuna being on top of you as you wake up
masterlist
Gojo :Â
    Your body was cuddled against your boyfriend as you tried to sleep. As quickly as sleep came, it left. There was a sudden noise downstairs that made you jump.
âWhat was that?!â Gojo turned to you, scratching at his face.Â
âI donât know. It sounded like something downstairs.â You whisper out and the blue eyed freak groaned.
âDonât worry babe. Iâll go check it out. Thereâs no need to be scared.â Gojo grabbed at your hand pulling you out of the warm sheets.
âIf youâre going to check it out, why are you taking me along with you?â You deadpanned as he corralled you down the stairs.Â
âBecause babe if I die then you need to avenge me.â Gojo whispered out as he peeked around the corner. His eyes surveyed the kitchen as he crept in.
âCoast is clear- HOLY SHIT!â Gojo fell back, crawling to your feet. You watched as a raccoon jumped down from the counter, scurrying back outside from the open porch door.Â
âSatoru, why did you leave the backdoor open..?â You rolled your eyes as you helped the âstrongestâ man to his feet.
âI thought you did.â He grinned as he got up and wrapped his arm around your shoulder.Â
âWhy am I with you?â You chided and he just pouted.
âSo mean..â
Geto :Â
   âThereâs a noise Sugu..â You whisper out as you adjust in his arms. Your eyes stare up at him as he scrolls through the TV.
âItâs probably nothing Y/N. Donât worry.â He rubbed at your head as he continued to mindlessly stare. You heard steps creeping as you continued to lay there. You couldnât help but feel anxious and definitely with the warrant out for your boyfriends head.
âSuguru, someone is in the house.â You plead. He only rolls his eyes as he shuffles around in bed.Â
âYouâre fine-â His eyes widen as the door slams open, a tall man standing in the wake.
âGeto Suguru, itâs nice to finally meet you.â His grin is wicked and you crawl closer to Suguru out of fear.
âItâs not smart breaking into my house, you know.â He grabs at your form and pulls you up. Curses forming behind the estranged man as Geto frowns.Â
âPersonal preference really. I donât get why people consider you that strong.â The man shrugs as he gets closer and you flinch as a punch flies past your face. One of his many curses attach to the mans fist.Â
âPathetic. At least I know I need to replace the lock.â Geto rolls his eyes as the man screams in agony, his head exploding from the pressure of the curse.
âAre you okay darling?â Geto bends down to run his hand across your cheek, placing a soft kiss on your forehead. âIâm sorry I didnât listen to your warnings before. Iâll be more observant for you.â He leaves another peck as he sets you down against the plush pillows of the bed.Â
âGive me a moment to clean up and we can cuddle, okay?âÂ
You only nod as you shake from the violent attack. You knew you were always safe with him but that didnât make you worry any less. But at the end of the day, you still had him.
âOkay.â You lean in to give him one more kiss as he goes to clean up the âleftoversâ.
Nanami :Â
  You were cradled in Nanamiâs arms as you heard rustling around. Nanami gripped tighter at you as the noises became louder.Â
âKento..â You mumbled out. His soft snores filled the room as you tried to wake him up. You squirmed around in his arms trying to get his attention. A scream left your lips as a harsh knock on the bedroom door filled the silence.
Nanami whipped straight up, gripping at his cleaver that sat on the bedside table.Â
âY/N whatâs wrong?â He placed a quick kiss against your forehead as another knock sounded at the door. You gave him a scared look and he squeezed your hand.
âNanami, are you there? I just got done giving Megumi his gift so if you could open up..!â Gojoâs voice filled the silence and you let out a giant sigh. Of course it was Gojo.
âGojo, what are you thinking sneaking into peoples houses at 3 am. Regardless of time there is a thing called privacy.â Nanami swung the door open, berating the special grade as he started to push him out. Gojo gave you a thumbs up as he sat the gift bag on the chair and continued to struggle against the blondes hold.
âTry the lemon flavor Y/N! I think you will like it!â Gojo calls out as Nanami shuts the door on his face and sighs. He comes back over to the bed, his face worn down as he falls into his pillow. You couldnât help but laugh at the buffoonery that unfolded.
âKen are you okay?â You rubbed at his back. He only groaned as he peeked up from the comfort of the bed.
âCan we pretend that never happened?âÂ
Todo :Â
Todoâs face was buried against your chest as he snored. You ran your fingers through his hair as you continued to mindlessly scroll through your phone. You heard noises creaking against the floorboards which attracted your attention.
âWhat the hell?â You pushed the large man off your chest and stood up to go check out the noise.Â
âHuh..? Y/N..â Todoâs hand yanked you back towards the bed, his eyes pleading for you to continue cradling him.Â
âThereâs someone there Aoi. You have to let me check.â You push his hands away much to his dismay and move to leave the bedroom. His body moves quicker than yours, ripping away at the door.
âIs someone there!?âÂ
There was a scuttle from a thief grabbing at some of your belongings, his hands flying up as Todo stomped through the hall.
âHow dare you ruin my time with Y/N?! I am disgusted!â Todo grabs the thief by his shirt and tears open the window.Â
âTodo, the vase!â You screech as your vase teeters and he throws the man out the window, grabbing the nice china in time.
âStupid. Now letâs go back to the bedroom.â He dusts himself off as he grabs you with one arm and makes his way back into the room.
âMaybe we should check the door..â You gasp against his tight hold as you try to process what just happened.
âThe door should try and check me!â He gloats as he places you gently on the bed, still worked up from having his precious time taken from him.
Sukuna :Â
    Your body slid in the sheets as you felt hands gripping at your face. Your eyes slowly opened and adjusted to see the beast on top of you.Â
âWhat-â You struggled to speak as his hand pushed your cheeks together.
âSuch pretty lips. All for me?â He grinned as you smacked his chest. Sadly this was a recurring theme with the two of you. Whenever Yuji lost control you always somehow had Sukuna trailing close behind you. And although you werenât particularly happy waking up to such intrusions, you didnât mind it either.
âCmon.â Your voice is garbled as he pets your skin and grins.
âNo scream for the intruder? Iâm disappointed.â He slaps your cheek lightly, not enough to harm you but just enough to wake you up.
âYouâre a piece of shit.â You roll your eyes as he chuckles and pulls you flush against him.
âYou like it.â
Choso :Â
âBaby.. thereâs something outside.â Your eyes barely peek above his arm as you hear the scratching at the window. Choso just groaned and pulled you tighter into his embrace.
âItâs okay. Just sleep..â His voice was hoarse as he patted your head. You couldnât help but still feel anxious, tugging at him to wake up.
âPlease..â You jolted as another harsh slap hit the window. Choso sat up and made an annoyed face.
âWho would be stupid enough to come here?â He stomped out of the bed and over to the window. He ripped at the curtains and opened the window.Â
âYou think itâs funny-â Choso starts only to get backhanded by the tree arm that had apparently been smacking the window. Your eyes widened as he wiped at his face, turning to see you laughing hysterically. He let out a small laugh as he rolled his eyes.
âGlad to see youâre not worried anymore.â He slides back into bed, pulling you flush against him.Â
âBaby you didnât close the window.â
âReally..â
Megumi :Â
  Your body rested against Megumiâs as you both cuddled against the sheets. It was a cold night and the heater was all but broken. One of your hands rubbed at the fur of the black dog coating you like a blanket while the other rubbed through your boyfriend's hair.
There was a ruckus from downstairs, your body jolting at the sudden noise. The dog seemed to notice as well, sitting up and growling, ready to protect you and Megumi.
âThereâs something..â You pushed against your boyfriend and he slowly wiped the sleep out of his eyes. You arms circled around him as his shinigami jumped down from the floor and went to go sniff out said intruder.
âIf someones there we will know. Donât worry.â Megumi stretched as he tried to get into action. He jostled himself out of the comfy position and opened the door.Â
âReally.â His voice was deadpan as the dog came back into the room and jumped on you, unfazed. You were confused - there had to be someone if Megumi was talking.
âHello dearest son! I brought sweets! Oh and hello Y/N!â Gojo gives a wave as he holds a giant bag out.
âGet out.â Megumi rolls his eyes as he pushes the bag away and shuffles the sorcerer back through the house. You could only chuckle at the interaction and hope that Megumi would tell him to knock next time.

I love your stuff & can't help but ask-
ANY DICK HEADCANONS? đď¸đđď¸
Ummm duh of course đĽ°đ¤
Baldurs Gate 3 Dick headcannons đ¤
Astarion
Heâs definitely got length. Iâd say heâs probably packing like a 7.8 Inches and on the thinner side, definitely not a lot of girth on him, and un circumcised. My HC is heâd kind of have to be a shower, not a grower, because his âjobâ was to lure people, right? So a big, kinda flashy and shown off dick would bring more people in.
Gale
I literally canât decide between two so thatâs up to yâall to decide. But I believe heâs about 6.8 inches, girthy, and curved to the left and slightly upwards so he really hits that G-spot without trying, and circumcised.
On one hand Iâd think itâs kinda adorable if heâs not a grower and is constantly trying to hide his fat cock like no Iâm not turned on right now Iâm just always like this.
On the other hand, I wanna believe heâs a grower and is just so easily turned on by you that it actually becomes a problem lol. Like he grows FAST.
Wyll
Iâm assuming he gets his devil dick so going from that, heâs literally ribbed for your pleasure? I think he has kinda smooth ridges lined down his cock, nothing too intense but definitely noticeable. Iâd say heâs the great in between, 6.9 inches with some girth.
On the other side he could have an absolute monster cock of like 9 inches but I prefer the first option.
