Just because I do like Seaver character more than most and I think the hate for her character is unjustified. But yeah I'm not trying to pair up Reid or Seaver or anything but I kind of wanted them to have this kind of scene in the show.

Seaver felt awkward as she stood in the BAU office. It felt like the first day of training again. She knew they were judging her. Judging her past, worried about how she could cope with things. With stress. They don't know what it's like, though. To have a father like hers. They'll never knows.

She saw Dr. Reid come towards her. At least it was someone closer to her age she could talk too. Someone that didn't make her feel too young to be there.

"I didn't get a chance to tell you this earlier," said Dr. Reid as he cleared his throat. She looked confused at how nervous he seemed.

"I just wanted to tell you..."He looked uncertain on how to continue.

"Yes?" She prompted him.

"I just wanted to say...while none of us know what it's like to have a father...for a serial killer-"

She glanced to the floor.

"I know what it's like at the possiblity of having one."

She frowned, suddenly perplexed.

"What do you mean?"

"My father left me and my mother when I was about 10-"

"I'm sorry," she said and he smiled at that.

"Thanks...but I was having these dreams of a young boy who was murdered in my past and long story short I thought...almost for certain that my father was the killer and pedofiler of the little boy."

Seaver swallowed and closed her eyes. The idea of anyone else going through what she went through made her sick.

"Did he..."

"No...someone else did...but before we got it confirmed it wasn't my father the idea of him being...just like the people we hunt...I was barely able to function during those moments. I didn't know what ot think, how to feel. I was..very confused, and felt...alone even with Agent Rossi and Morgan and everyone trying to help me..the very idea that we might have to arrest my father despite how angry I was at him towards abandoning us..." Reid shook his head and cleared his throat. "I just wanted to say I know what it's like to be confused about your feelings towards your father."

He spoke quickly, clearly uncomfortable telling this story to someone. Seaver smiled at him, tears in her eyes. At least someone was able to somewhat understand...have a small idea what she had gone through growing up...the thought comforted her more than she thought it would.

"Thank you," she said suddenly. "For telling me that."

Reid nodded.

"You're welcome,"he said quietly.

"No really, it meant a lot to hear that..."

He nodded slowly.

"You're nothing like your father," he said suddenly and she looked surprised.

"What?"

"Just because you're related to him...doesn't mean you'll wind up like him."

How did he know that was one of her biggest fears? That his evil blood runs through her veins everyday? That one day she might snap and turn...evil. She shuddered at the thought and studied Dr. Reid's face. For some reason she sensed he was going through similar fears of his own.

"The same goes for you too," she said. "About you not being like your father."

Reid looked surprised at that response. It was his turn to say thanks. They stared at each other with a new sense of understanding and respect for the other person before Hotch called a group meeting.

As they walked away Seaver smiled, finally-for the first time in a long time-she didn't feel alone.

Again this is not a pairing! I just wanted to have a scene like this :)
