I don't own Criminal Minds

Spencer never dreamed that he would have a child of his own or any kind of family. That all changed, one Friday morning.

Spencer was working at his desk when a woman came up to his desk. "Are you Dr. Reid" she asked.

Spencer nodded and she extended her hand to shake his. He shook her hand as she spoke, "I'm from child services. Do you know your relatives well?"

Spencer shook his head. She sighed, "Well just a couple of weeks ago your Uncle Henry and Aunt Wendy, died in a car crash. They have a nine year old daughter. We searched for any possible relatives that could care for her but you're the only that seems capable. Most of your family has passed on and the rest are not even close to being suitable to having a child."

Spencer spoke, "With all due respect Ms, my occupation is very dangerous and I'm always traveling. Besides I'm not married and my income isn't as great as most would expect it to be when working for the FBI. I don't think giving me this child would do her any good. There must be someone else."

"Please, if you don't take her in, she will be sent to a home. That's the last thing I want for her. Please you're her only hope."

Spencer stared at the floor, and then lifted his head. "I'll have her live with me for a while…but if it can't work…I'll find someone who can take her in…I won't let her be in a orphan."

The woman smiled brightly and thanked him.

"Where is she" he asked.

"She is at the child services office I work at. Do you want me to bring her in when you're done with work today?"

Spencer nodded, "I'm usually done around five, but if we get called for a case, we'll have to wait for a few days."

The woman nodded and gave him her card. "Call me if anything happens." She walked out of the office.

Morgan and Hotch walked up to Spencer. Curious of what the woman wanted.

"Reid…what was that all about?"

Spencer sighed, "I just adopted a child."
