Morgan groaned as he knocked on Reids apartment door. Reid hadn't come in today and wasn't responding to calls so the team drew straws to see who would go fetch him. Guess who lost? Morgan figured Reid was just freaked out after the last case, the UnSub was some boogas medicine man, black magic, spells, potions and curses, that kind of thing. He was a serial child murder/rapist. During an interigation he had spouted a bunch of gibberish at Reid, Morgan thought it was just a gibberish but Reid later informed him it was some sort of aging spell. Reid seemed unfazed but maybe it got to him, who knows, right? After a moment with no response a bad feeling settled in his gut.

"Reid?" Morgan called, pressing an ear against the door. His eyes widdened when he heard the soft sound of a baby crying. What the hell? He broke down the door and rushed in towards the source of the crying. Squirming in a pile of what Derek recongonized as Reid's pajamas was a small, fragile infant. "What the hell?" He picked the tiny, naked baby out of the clothes. The baby's big eyes certianly LOOKED like Spencer's eyes... and the tiny whisps of brown hair...? Oh God... was this baby... REID!?

Spencer looked up at Morgan and tried to stiffle his crying. Granted he didn't understand why he was crying in the first place. He was so confused. He woke up and everything was big, he was cold, and he had wet the bed and that triggered a response in him to start to cry. He tried to talk but it came out as garbles, scaring him more. He didn't seem to have control of his body, which was frustating. He cried out at Derek, hoping for answers.

"Calm down, kid... it looks like... you've been turned turned into a baby... but don't worry! We will fix it!" Morgan looked around for something to rap Spencer in before settling on a shirt. "I'll get you to the BAU and we will help you."

##################################################################################

A very tired Morgan jogged into the BAU, holding little baby Spencer in his arms. Spencer was still rapped in his own shirt, now sleeping soundly. Morgan's heavy breathing gave him away as soon as he entered.

"Hey, Morgan, where is Reid?" JJ started before glancing at the bundle at the bundle. "Why do you have a baby?"

"Look, I know this sounds crazy but... this baby is Reid. Brown hair and they have the same eyes. Plus, he calmed down right when I picked him up. He recongized me.. It's Spencer." Morgan rambled slightly. JJ rushed up, as did Blake.

"A baby!?" Blake gapped, looking at the baby. Spencer softly opened his eyes at the sound, looking around at his soroundings curiously. "Yeah... thats Spencer, alright."

"Spenc?" JJ gapped, taking the baby into her arms. Spencer cooed and cuddled up to her and she knew that it was him. "Why... is he naked and rapped in a shirt?"

"I found him naked! What was I supposed to do, pull a daiper and oncie out of a hat?"

"No need to get snappy." JJ huffed. "How did this happen?"

"I don't know... but I have a hunch." Derek whipped his phone out and dailed a number. "Hello...? Hey, Baby Girl, I need you to look up the curse that that creepy witch doctor threw out at Reid... No time to explain, Reid has been turned into a baby- No I'm not punking you! Just please, Baby Girl... Thank you... Okay... Okay, Thanks."

"You aren't serious?" JJ blinked at him.

"It's all I got to go on. If thats what caused this, he should be back to normal in a month. At least thats what Garcia dug up. It was a Aging Curse used to make one grow up again. He'll gain a year a day." Morgan sighed.

"What are we going to do with him?" Blake asked but before anyone answered the shirt Reid was rapped in became wet and fluids leaked to the ground and then Reid began to wail out.

"He wet himself!" JJ squeaked, rushing over and sitting him down on his own desk and unrapping him.

"What are we supposed to do!?" Derek asked, rushing over to Reid's desk, wearing the babized agent lay, wet, distressed and naked.

"I don't know! I don't have any daipers!" JJ flailed her arms out.

"We have to do something! He can't just stay naked!"

"I know that!"

"What is going on?" Hotch's stern vioce interupted them. They turned him.

"Reid's um... Reid is a baby." Morgan put forth after a moment of silence.

"Now Agent Morgan, I know Reid is young but there is no need to-" Hotch began to scold before JJ cut him off.

"No, he has actually... been turned into an infant." JJ gestured towards the crying baby and Hotch rushed over.

"Wow... that's... certianly is strange." Hotch tilted his head. "But he is... sorta cute."

"Well yeah but we don't know to do, we don't have any clothes or daipers..." JJ said, shaking her head.

"Okay, Morgan, you contact Garcia and tell her to get some supplies, what we need. I have to explain this to Cruz." Hotch pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Wait, who is going to watch him? I'm all up for seven to twelve yearold Reid but tiny poopy baby Reid and a hormone crazy, horny teenage Reid? I don't think so." Morgan crossed his arms and JJ snorted at him.

"I'll take him as a baby." JJ rolled her eyes at him. "You can have little kid Reid."

"I'll see if Rossi or Garcia can take Teen Reid." Hotch nodded, walking off to find Strauss. JJ, Blake, and Morgan were left in silence but soon enough the ball of energy that is Penelope shot into the room.

"Where is he? Where is my poor baby genius?" Garcia squeaked, eyes darting between them before landing on poor baby Spencer. "Oh... My... Gosh! He is so cute!" Garcia squealed and picked Spencer up and held him close, unfazed by his nakedness. "Look at his cute little cheeks! On both ends to! Awwww, he so adorable and bubbly! Look at his little-"

"We get it, Baby Girl." Morgan chuckled with a shake of his head. "We need you to get supplies for him, clothes and all that."

"Can do!" Garcia chirped, handing the nude infant to Morgan before scittering off.

##################################################################################

JJ thought that Cruz was going to explode when Hotch told him what was going on. After a lot of unanswered questions, some yelling, and a lot of bardering, they got a schedule worked out. Garcia agreed to have Teen Reid stay with her. They got supplies and now JJ was here, at her house. Little Henry was playing with his toy truck and Spencer, now clothed in a blue teddy bear oncie, was softly suckling away at a bottle. She had to admit, he was pretty cute. His eyes where big and beautiful and even though he was a small baby, he was pretty chubby for his size. He was fairly small, was Reid a pre-me baby? She wasn't sure. She was sure Henry would enjoy having someone to play with once Reid aged a bit. JJ smiled as Spencer released the bottle and started to fuss. She put him gently over her shoulder over a burp cloth before going to burp him. After a minute Spencer let out a small burp and spit up on the cloth.

"There you go." JJ cooed, holding Reid up. He smiled at her, but if she squinted she could have sworn embarrasement flashed deep in his little round orbs. "Do you feel better?" There was nop response, of coarse, but he did smile slightly.

Some time past, JJ played with Spencer and Henry. Henry seemed to like interacting with Reid but after a bit, Reid started to fuss again. She checked his diaper, it was clean. She tried to comfort him but he still fussed. She knew he wasn't hungry, then it hit her. The formula had lactose in it. Spencer was lactose intolerant. She flinched at their error. JJ looked down at the small infant. Spencer looked uncomfortable and his little legs were scrunched up, he was clearly having problems. It was going to be a long day.

Spencer spent most of the day fussing and trying, and sometimes succeeding, in his attempts to rid himself of his gaseous discomfort. Whenever he did manage to let out his troublesome gas it always got a laugh out of Henry, which always made JJ smile. She did of coarse relieze she would never be able to look at her kind, polite, gentlemenly friend the same ever again. She knew of course that Spencer has human and he like all people had to expel gas trapped inside them but knowing it happened and hearing it are two totally different things. It was a natural bodily process, but she was sure it would embarrass Spencer later that she had heard it. After awhile, things calmed down, but then he had to be fed again. It was an endless cyle.

This meant that Spencer was still slightly fussy later when the team came over for a visit.

"What wrong with little man?" Derek teased as he walked in.

"Lactose in formula." JJ pointed at an empty bottle before pionting at Spencer. "Lactose intolerant."

"Awww he has gas." Morgan rubbed Spencers belly, prompting a long draw out whine from the child.

"Try to be mature, Chocolate Thunder." Garcia snipped with with a smile and giggle.

"What?" Morgan shrugged and JJ swatted at him. "Okay, okay but yeah, poor Reid."

"Yes, poor Reid. He has no control over his bodily functions. From what I've seen, he is a grown man trapped in the body of an infant. It's embarrassing and he's uncomfortable." JJ patted the top of Reid's head.

'Of course it is!' Spencer thought, kicking out his legs. He was not enjoying being an infant. He had no control and that formula made his stomach hurt! He was intensely uncomfortable and his body responded by crying. He hated having the team see and hear him like this. At least by tomorrow he can eat soft foods. That was something right? Spencer looked at Garcia. Her hair was pulled up in a bun with a big purple and green bow pinned to it. For reasons Reid did not understand the bow made him feel happy and giggly.

"Do you like this?" Garcia laughed, pionting at her bow and Spencer nodded. "Here you go!" Garcia unpinned the bow and handed it to Reid. Reid felt happiness flare in his chest and laughed and hugged the bow. As fun as this was, he really hoped he wouldn't remember all this when this ordeal was over with.

"Why is Reid playing with Garcia's bow?" Hotch questioned, strolling into the room.

"I think he likes the colors. Anything to distract him from his upset tummy." JJ laughed before quirking a brow at Hotch. "Where's Jack?"

"Babysitter. I was going to bring him but he has some sort of school prodject to work on." Hotch shrugged a shoulder.

"Ah, I see."

"Reid's stomach is upset?"

"Yeah, lactose intolerance."

"Right." Hotch nodded. "At least tomorrow he will be able to drink juice and eat baby food so it shouldn't be a problem."

"I'll say, I don't think me or Reid can handle another day of this." JJ shook her head and Spencer let out a squeak of what she percieved as agreement.

"Nobody enjoys having gas, JJ." Derek snorted.

"He's a baby, Morgan, its worse for him and you know it." Hotch said, sitting down.

"Yeah, yeah, I just can't wait intill he gets a little older. I can show him a real game a catch and bring him out places, y'know the stuff he didn't do before." Morgan said, looking over at the baby.

"I'm going to have so much fun with Teen Reid..." Garcia paused before looking at Rossi as he walked in. "Hey, Rossi, if Reid and I get arrested will you bail us out?" She asked, prompting laughs from the group.

"How about you try to keep him OUT of trouble?" Rossi chortled with a shake of a head.

"Where's the fun in that?" Garcia grinned, tilting her head.

"How about the fun of keeping Reid's arrest record clean?"

"Boring." Garcia huffed. "Can I at least bring him to the mall?"

"He might not like it." Morgan chuckled.

"Too bad for him then." Garcia shrugged.

"First lets just focus on getting him past baby and toddlerhood." JJ laughed, looking at Reid, who was starting to fuss again.

"Someone's getting cranky again." Garcia cooed, picking Reid up.

"He may still need burping. When I tried before nothing came up." JJ held a burping cloth up to Garcia and she took it.

"Worth a shot." Garcia smiled, starting to burp Reid. Morgan snickered and shook his head.

"This is blackmail gold."

"Morgan, don't you dare!" JJ scolded, wagging a finger at him.

"Come on, lighten up, it was a joke!" Morgan slouched his shouulders foreward.

"It's not funny." Garcia and JJ said simataniously.

"Morgan, do us all a favor and stop pissing off all the women." Rossi chuckled, shaking his head at them.

"But I didn't- Okay, okay..." Morgan grumbled before glancing at Reid and smiling as the baby belched and spit up. "I guess he is a pretty cute kid."

"He is." Garcia grinned and cradled Spencer. Spencer looked up at her and let out a yawn. "And he's also tired."

"Awww, fun time is over." JJ took Reid and the child began to whine. "What?"

"He doesn't want to go to bed. He wants to stay up with the grown ups." Morgan teased lightly.

"You gotta go to bed, Spence. The sooner you go down, the sooner tomorrow will come for and the sooner you will be one year old, okay?" JJ said and Spencer seemed to except it and snuggled up to her. "Okay then, bedtime." JJ carried Reid off to put him to bed. Earlier in the day she had set Henry's old play pen up in her room for Reid to sleep in. She set up the baby monitors before heading back downstairs.

"He asleep?" Hotch asked, quirking a brow at her.

"Like a little drunk." JJ smiled. "He was out before I even tucked him in."

"Good, so... we are really doing this? We are going to re-raise Reid?" Rossi asked, looking around the room.

"Well... sorta, I think he has his adult memories. We are just... making sure he makes it back to adulthood safely." JJ said before nodding. "Yeah, thats it."

"This isn't going to be easy. Mind of an adult, emotions, desires, and body of a child. He's going to be a pain in the ass." Rossi huffed, crossing his arms.

"We take on serial killers, we can handle Reid." Hotch said, his face blank as usual.

"Hotch is right." JJ nodded.

"I can't wait for him to get a little older. I bought the cutest outfits for him to wear!" Garcia squealed, clapping her hands.

"Shhhh." JJ put a finger to her lips. "Spence and Henry are both sleeping."

"Right." Garcia gave her a sheepish grin.

"I for one am planning on showing Reid the time of his life." Morgan said, gesturing with his hand. "Give him some cool childhood experences he missed out on between being a super genius in school and caring for his mother."

"I'm with you on that one." Rossi said and the others made nioses pf agreement.

"So we agree, Reid is going to have fun whether he wants to or not?" Hotch questioned.

"Yes, he is." Garcia nodded.

"What if we get a case?" Morgan asked. They hadn't talked much about this probabilty.

"I'll keep him, or one of you can stay behind and I can hook them up with some webcams so no one misses out on anything Reid or case related." Garcia said.

"I talked to Cruz earlier, he is willing to grant a week off to each of us at any time during the process if we need it to care for Reid." Hotch added, running a hand through his hair. "It was a tough negotiation but I think she understands. She wants updates on his condition daily."

"I'm sure he does." Morgan snorted.

"So we're good? We can handle this?" Rossi asked.

"I'm sure we can. He's just one person. How much trouble could he be?" JJ smiled with a shrug.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

It's my first time writing Criminal minds so I'm sorry if it sucks! I have been reading a lot of de-aged Reid fics and wanted to take a crack at it. I have seen a few were he grows up a year a day and wanted to take a crack at that as well. They are going to find out just how much trouble he can be, but don't worry, it's a humor story! R&R!

EDIT:

I had to go through and fix this chapter. See I haven't watched Criminal Minds in forever before two weeks ago and since Strauss was just a reaccuring character I didn't know she was dead! So had to go through and fix this since it's season nine! Oops! -u-"
