Random Imagines

Spencer Reid//Nightmares

*This is the time period where everyone thinks Emily is dead*

Not being able to go with the team on cases was starting to get to me a little bit. I used to see Spence every day but lately it's about once a week.

But it's worth it. We have a precious baby girl coming in a couple of months and he will be able to take paternity leave and be with me to take care of her.

I started getting a call from Spencer so I answered it.

"Hey baby, how's the case?"

The was a pause before he answered. "It doesn't look good, y/n... were cutting it close this time."

"You guys will catch this guy, we always do."

"I wish you were here right now." His voice shook slightly.

"Me too sweetheart. Emily has been kicking"

"I can't wait to be back home so I can see you and talk to her again." There was a short pause and a "I'll call you when I can, hotch needs me. I love you, goodnight and sweet dreams."

"I love you too, goodnight." I smiled before watching tv, eating pickles, and going to bed.

The next day I woke up around 8AM and did my daily routine. I hadn't heard anything from Spence and it was already 4pm.

I called Morgan.

"Y/n, what's up?"

"Spencer hasn't answered my calls or texts all day. Is he okay?"

He sighed before replying. "She died in his arms. We got the guy but it was already too late. She looked similar to you."

My eyes started watering.

"Can I talk to him?"

"Um... I don't think he's going to talk to anyone."

I sighed and nodded. "Okay thank you."

"No problem."

When Morgan texted me that they were about to land, I ordered Spencer his favorite food.

It was about 11pm when I heard the keys in the door.

I quickly got up and walked over to the door while he came inside.

His outfit was covered in blood and he had dried up blood on his hands and probably under his shirt from where it soaked through.

"Oh baby." I hugged him and he lightly put his arms around me crying.

"I tried saving her but I could do anything."

"It's not your fault Spence. Go take a shower and when you're done, dinner will be waiting." I pecked his lips and he walked to the bathroom.

After about 20 minutes, I knocked on the door with no answer. I got a little worried and opened it.

He was sitting in the bathtub with the shower running down his back.

I opened the glass shower door and he didn't even flinch. I took a warm rag and began cleaning him off.

"I know you don't want to talk about it, but can you please tell me at least a part of what happened?"

He was silent for a long moment.

"He took her away from her husband and kids. She was missing for a week. When we got to her she was all cut up, bleeding, and dirty. I had just untied her and he fired one last shot and killed her before Morgan put a bullet in his head. She looked so similar to you."

I kissed his shoulder and helped him out of the shower.

"Is it okay if I skip dinner and just go to sleep?"

"Of course baby. Give me about ten minutes and I'll be in there. I want to stay with you but Emily's hungry." I put my hand on my stomach.

He nodded and went to our room.

I ate a little bit of our food before putting it in the fridge and going to our room.

He was already passed out in bed when I crawled in.

"Goodnight baby, I love you." I kissed his forehead lightly before falling asleep myself.

I woke up to Spencer sitting up sweating and panting.

"Hey hey hey, baby what happened?" I rubbed his back gently.

"I... I had a nightmare about the case. Except it was you, not her. You.. you died in my arms."

"Baby I promise you I'm not going anywhere. I will always be here. And in a couple of months so will our daughter. Emily Diana Reid. Named after the two bravest women we know." I pushed his hair back and his breathing normalized.

He laid back down and cuddled up to me, putting his arms around my waist and his head on my chest.

"I love you so much, baby." He mumbled.

"I love you too, handsome. I'm never going to leave you. I promise."

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight. Sweet dreams, love."

It took a few nights for the nightmares to stop, but when they did they were replaced with dreams of our baby girl. Who I know Spencer is going to be the best father to.

AUTHORS NOTE: Diana is for Spencer's mom, not to be confused with Diane, who killed Maeve.
