Today is my friend's birthday and yet I am taking the time to write a story. Yep, I'm that dedicated :P
So this story is about Morgan's family seeing Reid for the first time since the episode "Profiler, Profiled" It's NOT SLASH if you couldn't tell. Not that I have anything against gay people, writing slash is just not my thing. Sorry, I'm rambling a bit.
Disclaimer: Again, I don't own Criminal Minds. If I did then the show would be a tad different (Gideon and Rossi would both be on the team. JJ would be there. Prentiss wouldn't be "dead" etc.)
Geeky Kid with the Glasses
It wasn't very often that the team had a case in Chicago, but when they did Morgan was always sure to visit his family. The BAU had just wrapped up a case and was leaving the next day so Morgan was at his Mom's place. He was a tad bit annoyed when his phone started ringing.
"Morgan." He said, answering his phone.
"And that's how Mr. FBI answers his phone." His sister, Sarah, said behind him. Derek waved her off.
"Hey Morgan, I was just wondering if you had that case file with you?" Reid asked.
"Yeah kid, it's in my suitcase. I can go grab it and bring it to the hotel." Morgan offered.
"No, that's fine. I'll just come pick it up. You're at your Mom's, right?" Reid double checked.
"Yeah, you probably already know where it is. Are you sure that you don't want me to bring it in?" Morgan wondered.
"I'm already out; I'll just come pick it up." Reid told him.
"At Starbuck's again?" Morgan laughed.
"Maybe…" Reid trailed off before hanging up.
"Guys, Reid's going to come pick up a file so if anyone knocks at the door, it's him." Morgan informed his family.
"Ok baby." Fran Morgan said, absentmindedly.
"Oh yeah, isn't he the young kid with the horrible glasses?" Desiree remembered. Derek laughed again. Boy, would they be surprised when they see Reid.
"That's the one." He answered.
Twenty minutes, Reid knocked on the door and was let in by Derek.
"Hey Pretty Boy, what took you so long?" Derek asked.
"Long line at Starbucks" Reid joked. "Actually I was just kind of walking around but I did go to Starbucks. Just couldn't resist."
"I had a feeling you'd be on a coffee run. Let me go grab that file. You can come in." Morgan offered.
"Sure, thank you." Reid walked in slowly, feeling like an outsider.
"Hello Dr. Reid." Fran greeted him.
"Hi Mrs. Morgan." he waved shyly. Sarah and Desiree were still in shock about how different he looked. Heck, he was hot now! They stood there in silence for a few minute until Morgan came back in the room.
"Sorry it took so long, it wasn't where I put it." Morgan apologized.
"It's fine. I'll look over this tonight." Reid told him.
"So in other words, you'll have it completely memorized in about a minute." Morgan teased.
"Does Garcia know that you're with your family? I'm sure she'd love to meet them." Reid threatened.
"Oh, you wouldn't" Morgan warned.
"Try me. You messed up my physics magic last time." Reid laughed.
"I knew I'd regret doing that." Derek muttered.
"I ought to get going, I need another coffee." Spencer smiled.
"Dr. Reid, why don't you stay for dinner?" Fran suggested.
"I'd hate to be a bother." Reid said.
"Nonsense, it'd be no problem at all." Fran grinned.
"Yeah Reid, you should stay." Morgan piped in.
"Only if it's no trouble." Reid objected.
"Now, why don't you take off your coat and you can sit with Derek and his sisters." Fran insisted. Reid took off his pea coat and thanked Mrs. Morgan for the invitation.
It was now that Sarah and Desiree finally got a better look at the young genius. He was wearing jeans and a purple dress shirt. His hair wasn't combed and he looked as if he hadn't shaved in a while.
"Could I use the bathroom fast? I think I had too much coffee." Reid chuckled.
"Sure sweetheart, second door on the left." Fran told him.
Once he was in the bathroom, Sarah looked at Desiree and grinned.
"What are you two all smiles and giggles about?" Derek wondered.
"Nothing, it's just when did he get so hot?" Desiree asked. Derek looked at her as if she had just said she saw a dinosaur.
"Please tell me that you two don't have a crush on Reid." He begged.
"Sorry, Big Brother. I hate to break it to you but he is smokin' hot." Sarah said.
"That is very true." Desiree agreed. Morgan groaned and put his face in his hands which made his little sisters laugh even more. Fran was in the kitchen laughing about the siblings' conversation.
"What'd I miss?" Reid asked coming out of the bathroom.
"You don't want to know." Morgan informed him
A/N: And there's the first chapter! Hope you liked it. The story will probably be around two or three chapters and then an epilogue. The next chapter will probably be up by Wednesday!
Love, Sarah
