Y/N Reid has always been the anchorâthe older sister who learned how to steady a genius before she learned how to take care of herself. As a pediatric nurse, she lives in a world where honesty matters and timing can change everything. Sheâs used to being the one who knows firstâand carries it quietly.
Y/N and Aaron Hotchner have spent a year building something quiet but solidâearly mornings, late nights, and the unspoken understanding that loving a man like Hotch means sharing him with the job. When Y/N begins waking up nauseous and exhausted, she chalks it up to stress⊠until a moment alone in their shared bathroom changes everything.
