:lol: No i don't mean like that, it was a ramble that i popped out there, there are also day dreams to. Maybe someone makes a suggestion and someone sits down and imagins it. IF it were Eric and Nat, and she is late, maybe either she or he imagine a future quickly going through the pregnancy to the birth and holding the child.
Since they can do snap scenes with crimes, and alot of times they don't want to use full show time to develope character to character relationships but rather tease people, it could be what they are thinking, or its a thought at least.
As to the Pattern, yeah it could mean its not definite, all spoilers are subject to change, either because they haven't been edited for tv, speculation for writers, Idea's for future eps, joking around.
While granted it could happen, i think they also are gauging the fans to see how the fans react to an "Exclusive" with no ep approx date in site, no name for the ep, and so on.
Why write and exclusive with the "maybe this, that" spoiler and not have more info to bare with it. again this is speculation on my part.
With the exception that it is true about spoilers being subject to change at anytime.
