A/N: Hello all of you wondrous people! Just to clear up, I do not own Criminal Minds. And this one will have nothing to do with Reid's relationship with Maeve. I feel it was something that just hurt him I don't like to even think about it. So I hope you enjoy!

A woman walked into the FBI building one day. She went up to the security desk. She was a woman on a mission. Her name: Arabella Knight.

"Excuse me Officer Jones." She said, sliding her ID across the desk. "Is the BAU here?" The officer looked at the ID and looked at the woman. She had a heart shaped face, Deep, dark brown eyes, full lips and a tiny nose. She was short, but wore heels to add height. Today she wore a thick strapped black dress with lace. A belt cinched it in at the waist. She had dark brown hair with a tint of purple. It was pulled up into a half ponytail.

"Well Hello Miss Knight." Officer Jones said at the front desk. "Haven't seen you here in a while." The woman giggled.

"Yeah." She said. "I've been kinda busy." He handed her back the ID. "So are they here?"

"Uh. Yeah." Officer Jones said. "Uhm I don't think he went with the rest to lunch. He should be up there." He handed Arabella a visitor's pass.

"Thanks." She said with a smile. She went into the elevator and up to the BAU.

Reid was sitting at his desk, trying to get his paperwork done. He had opted not to go to lunch so he would be able to hopefully get home at a decent time. Just then a woman came up to his desk, a woman he hadn't seen in a long time.

"We need to talk." She said, leaning on his desk. Reid looked up and swallowed hard. He felt nervous, anxious, and excited at the same time when he say her face.

"Ara? What are you doing here?" He asked her. They looked at each other in silence. She was standing over him, but that was only because he was sitting.

"I have been trying to hang out with you for about a year and a half now. Or at least talk to you. We need to talk now." Arabella said to him. "Is there somewhere more private we can talk?"

"Uhm.. Sure." Reid said, taking her into the conference room. Shortly after they closed the door and started talking, Morgan, Garcia, and JJ returned from lunch. They were laughing at something just said when Morgan looked up to the conference room.

"What is going on up there?" He asked.

"I don't know sugar plum." Garcia answered.

"Whatever it is, I think Reid's in trouble." JJ said. and they all shared a short laugh.

"I HAVE A WHAT?!" came Reid's voice, interrupting their laugh. Now they heard voices but the words were mumbled. Suddenly a woman, clearly angry, came out and walked passed the other agents, who she didn't even notice. The three looked at each other and made their way up to where Reid was sitting, staring at his phone.

"Spence?" JJ said softly. He looked up and locked his phone.

"Sorry." He said.

"Who was she?" JJ asked, sitting next to him. "You know we're here for you."

"Her name's Arabella Knight." Reid started. "We've known each other for a while now, although we haven't really talked or seen each other in almost two years."

"Why?" Asked Garcia, who took a chair across from him. Morgan stood in the doorway. Reid looked down at his hands.

"For a while we would get together on weekends or even after cases sometimes. It all started after Tobias and the nightmares. I would go to her place late at night, or she would even come to mine if I called, just to talk to her, to help me through. We did that for months and we... Uhm... Started dating. It was also during this time that- Stuff- started to happen. But then I got better. We still spent time at each others apartment's, but Cases started to get in the way, and we spent less time together. She would call and I'd be busy in the field. I would call and she would be on the busy on the Sales Floor, She's a bridal Shop Consultant. So we talked less and less until We just didn't anymore. There had been a few times that she had told me we needed to get together, And I agreed, but we never were able to. So I guess she took the initiative." He finished with a shrug.

"So what was that all about?" Morgan asked. Reid looked up at him, then to Garcia, then JJ. He sighed and looked back down to his hands.

"I have a daughter." He said softly, a hint of a smile played at the corner of his lips.

"What?" All three of them asked at the same time. Reid nodded, sat up, and unlocked his phone to show what he had been looking at when they came in.

"And Ara sent that to me just after she left." He said handing the phone to JJ. There was a little girl on the screen. She looked to be about a year old. She had a beautiful round face, a tiny nose, wide eyes that were so dark you could hardly see the pupil, but the intelligence shown right through them. She had Reid's slightly curly hair. There was definitely a strong resemblance between the child and Reid.

"She looks like you Spence." JJ said, passing the phone to Garcia.

"Odd since she hasn't even met me yet." Reid said.

"It's called genetics sweetheart." Garcia said passing the phone over to Morgan. "Hopefully she inherited your smarts." Reid sighed, too much on his mind to even give statistics of inheritance and intelligence.

"I just... I just don't know what to do now." Reid said, looking down again.

"Go to her." Morgan said handing Reid his phone back. "Be a father to this little girl. Be the father you never had."

"But I have to finish paperwork-" Reid started.

"JJ and I will take care of your last few files." Morgan said.

"And I'll tell boss-man I sent you home." Garcia said. Realizing there was no winning here, Reid got up and started for the door.

"Oh and Spence," JJ said. Reid turned around. "What's her name?"

"Ella." Reid said as he left.

OK this was An Idea I was thinking about for the longest time. The Cover picture is his "Daughter". I hope you like. Will be more! R&R please!
