Reid's Realization Chapter 1
Spencer Reid had always thought that he would never have a family. Often thoughts of love had crossed his mind. He never realized that he loved his team member, Ashley Seaver, until she left the BAU. He found her and proposed. She said yes. A few years later, and the 30 year old man was 40, and he had a small joy in his life, that had grown. A young beautiful 10 year old girl. Her father's eyes, her mother's hair, her father's intelligence,her mother's athleticism, her father's height, and her mother's beauty. Once and a while, Spencer would stand in his daughter's bedroom doorway and watch as she slept for a few minutes, vowing to never leave, like his father had.
This night, something was different. Spencer had just come home from a case full of child murders. He wanted to go home and pull his daughter into his arms and tell her he loved her, he wanted to read her a book from the 15th century, while she sat on his lap, snow gently falling outside. But, when he got home, Ashley and Juliet (his daughter) weren't there. After the case Reid was worried. He pulled his gun as he heard sobbing from the kitchen. It sounded like Ashley, but Spencer couldn't be sure. He walked in and found the blonde woman, sobbing at the kitchen table, a blood splattered copy of Juliet's favorite book in her hand.
"Ashley? What's wrong?" Reid asked his wife.
"They took Juliet!" Ashley sobbed.
"who did what!?" Spencer asked.
"they took her...you were gone, you didn't see the news." Ashley continued to sob.
Spencer opened his mouth to speak, as his phome rang.
"Hello?" he asked, picking up the phone, taking his wife's hand in his free hand.
"Reid, we need you to come in." Hotch's stern voice said from the other end of the line.
"Hotch...someone kidnapped my daughter." Reid replied.
"I know Reid, this is related to that." Hotch said.
Spencer's heart raced, he delt with serial killers and the ocasional child abudction. His wife told him it was on the news, Spencer was worried.
"...alright." he said, hanging up and turning to his wife. "Ashley, I have to go into work, we're going to get Juliet back." he stated, bending down to kiss Ashely before turning down the hall and to the front door.
