Trying to keep a secret from someone with an eidetic memory was hard - it was even harder when that person happened to be a profiler. Every time Y/N was having a bad day, Spencer would know, no matter how hard she tried to mask it. Due to Spencer picking up on the littlest things Y/N does, it was hard to keep a secret from him.

A few weeks ago Y/N had found out she was pregnant and she wanted to find the perfect way to tell Spencer. She had thought of a way except it needed to arrive in the mail first. That would take time - time she didn't have. Any day now Spencer would catch on.

There had been multiple occasions where Y/N would slip up and Spencer would get suspicious. However, knowing Spencer for as long ad she did, Y/N was able to play it off without him batting an eyelid.

However one incident, she slipped up more than usual.

Spencer had forgotten his lunch at home and Y/N decided to take it to him at work. She knew that it was a paperwork day so he would be there. Before she made the drive to Spencer's work however, she had to pick up one part of the surprise Y/N had planned to announce her pregnancy - a pair of converse for a baby.

The reason it took so long for her to get them was because she couldn't find a pair anywhere. Everywhere she looked, they were sold out. Once she picked them up, she shoved them in her bag without thinking.

When Y/N got to Spencer's work, she grabbed her bag that contained his lunch and headed up to the sixth floor. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Y/N saw a woman with blonde hair and a colourful dress walk past.

"Penelope!" Y/N said, stepping out of the elevator.

Penelope turned her head to the source of the voice and her eyes widened and a smile stretched across her face, "Y/N!" The blonde hastily wrapped the other woman in a hug, "I haven't see you in ages."

"I know!" Y/N responded, "Work has been keeping me busy." Along with other things.

"Well you need to come out on the next ladies night," Penelope said as the two began walking into the bullpen, "We've missed you hanging out with us."

"I miss hanging out with you too." Y/N replied.

"Y/N!" A voice announced. She looked up to come face to face with Derek Morgan.

"Derek!" Y/N replied before he wrapped her in a hug.

"What are you doing here?" He questioned.

Y/N gestured to her bag, "Spence forgot his lunch so I'm just dropping it off."

"Speak of the devil." Derek said, gaze drifting over Y/N's shoulder.

Y/N turned around and Spencer was walking up to the trio standing in the bullpen. A smile spread across his face once he saw Y/N. If she were the only one in the room, he would've strode up to her and planted his lips on hers. However, since there were plenty of other people around, Spencer settled for a quick hug instead - no matter how much he wanted for it to go on longer.

"What are you doing here?" Spencer questioned, hands being placed in his pockets to refrain from holding onto Y/N.

"I'm just dropping off your lunch, you were in a rush this morning and forgot it." Y/N explained and opened up her bag and rummaged through it to grab his lunch.

Her eyes widened when they landed on the small pair on black converse in her bag. Spencer, who had immediately noticed Y/N stop looking through her bag, furrowed his eyebrow in confusion and concern.

"You okay?"

Y/N looked up at him, "No, no, I'm fine, I just think I forgot my phone at home." She lied, though being around two profiles she was sure they could see right through it.

Spencer and Derek shared a look before Y/N rummaged through her bag once again, making sure to avoid the black converse, and pulled out Spencer's lunch.

"It hasn't been in the fridge since this morning so I would go and put it there, unless you're going to eat it now." Y/N explained, snapping her bag shut, suddenly becoming possessive over it.

"I'll go and put it in the fridge," Spencer said, concern lacing his tone, "Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine, perfectly fine," Y/N replied, "I'm just feeling a little tired."

"Go home and get some rest, okay?" Spencer said, he knew that there was something else bothering Y/N but decided not to mention it, "I'll be home as soon as I can."

Y/N gave him a tight lipped smile before nodding, "I'll see you later." She turned to Penelope and Derek and bid goodbye to them. She leaned up and placed a quick kiss on Spencer's cheek before leaving.

Spencer turned and watched her leave. He wanted to follow her to make sure everything was okay but he couldn't, he needed to stay at work.

"Did she seem okay to you?" Spencer questioned, turning back to face Derek and Penelope.

"She seemed okay to me," Penelope said, "A little jumpy but okay."

"I'm sure she's fine, Reid, you don't need to worry." Derek reassured him.

Spencer nodded before heading to place his lunch in the fridge. For the rest if the day, his mind was filled with worry about Y/N.

***

Y/N was panicking. She could tell that Spencer knew that something was wrong with her. Y/N was sure that he hadn't seen the baby shoes in her bag but she couldn't help but think he had. Another reason as to why she was panicking was the second half of the surprise had gotten lost in the mail and was nowhere to be found.

Y/N was stressed, she couldn't keep her pregnancy a secret for much longer because if she did she would either blurt it out or she would leave it long enough until she started to show a small baby bump.

She was laying down on her bed tracing small patterns on her stomach, a soft smile on her face. No matter how stressed she was, it all diminished when she thought about hers and Spencer's child. They were going to be parents.

The door to the apartment opened and Y/N jumped up from the bed.

"Y/N!" Spencer announced, "I'm home."

She stepped out the bedroom and leaned against the doorframe, "I thought you weren't meant to be home for another hour."

"I finished my work early." Spencer replied, stepping over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Y/N snaked hers around his neck pulling him in close. The two of them stood there for a moment in each others arms. No matter how long the two had been together, they never got bored of just holding one another.

"Are you okay?" Spencer asked after a long silence, "I was worried about you today."

"I'm fine, Spence," Y/N replied, "Let's just go to bed."

Y/N pulled away from Spencer and headed back into their bedroom. She was already wearing her pyjamas so she sat down on the bed and waited for Spencer to get changed. Once he did, he crawled into bed next to Y/N and she rested her head against his chest while he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her against him even more so there was not a single gap between the two.

Y/N pressed a kiss to Spencer's jaw as the two layed there in silence. One of Spencer's hands ran up and down her spine, tracing light patterns on it.

"I'm worried about you." Spencer mumbled.

"Why?" Y/N questioned.

"You were acting strange today," Spencer answered, "Actually, you've been acting strange for the past couple of weeks. You have an excuse for everything and you've been staying away from work for the past week. I just want to know you're okay."

Y/N was silent, she watched ad Spencer's chest raised up and down at a steady pace. Her finger trached his collarbone trying to find something to say.

"Y/N, please tell me what's wrong." Spencer asked, wrapping her hand on his chest in his.

Y/N sighed, "I didn't want to tell you now. I wanted to wait until I had another thing for it but I don't think I can keep this a secret much longer."

Y/N got up from the bed and rummaged through her bag in the other side if the room. She pulled out the converse and hid them behind her back.

Spencer sat up in the bed, curious as to why Y/N was being so secretive.

"I wanted to make this perfect but the other half to the surprise for lost in the mail," Y/N began to explain, "And the reason I was acting strange earlier was because I accidentally left these in my bag and was afraid you would see."

Y/N revealed the pair of converse from behind her back and held them up to Spencer's view. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion before Y/N began to speak again.

"The baby bib that I ordered with a scientific pun you would understand didn't arrive."

Spencer's eyes widened once he realised what the small converse meant. Hee looked up at Y/N who had a soft smile on her face.

"Wait, you're..." Spencer couldn't finish his sentence before tears began to fill his eyes. Y/N nodded, tears springing to her own eyes.

Spencer scurried out if bed and wrapped Y/N in his arms, holding onto her like she would disappear, "You're pregnant."

Y/N nodded into Spencer's shoulder, "We're having a baby, Spence. You're gonna be a dad."

Spencer pulled away and rested his forehead against Y/N's, his hands brushing over her stomach. He was at a loss for words, overwhelmed with emotion.

"I knew something was wrong, but I didn't expect..." A tear fell down Spencer's cheek and Y/N wiped it away.

"I'm gonna be a dad." Spencer said, finally.

"Yes you are, Spence. You're going to be the best dad in the world."

"And you're going to be the best mother I'm the world." Spencer mumbled before pressing his lips against Y/N's, both smiling into the kiss.

Y/N was the first to pull away from the kiss, "I'm sorry that this wasn't the perfect way to tell you but-"

"It was perfect," Spencer cut her off, "I wouldn't care how you told me, it would be perfect anyway."

Y/N smiled and pecked his lips, "We're gonna be parents."

"I'm never going to get tired if hearing that." Spencer replied, wrapping his arms around Y/N.
