That Rossi Kid

This is a Rossi/Reid adopted father-adopted son story. I've seen the relationship on the show and I know that people either put the Rossi/Reid father-son relationship together or its Hotch/Reid father-son. I wanted to do an interesting take on the Rossi/Reid father-son relationship.

What David Rossi and Spencer Reid don't know is, is that they were once a family. When Spencer was only eleven years old a year after his father abandoned him his mother started going crazy. That one day on a case in Vegas Rossi crosses paths with the young Reid. Unknown to them it would change their world and lives upside down. That just a year after Rossi adopted him he runs away and ends up back home to where he used to be and went to college at a young age. Now all those years later when Rossi rejoins the BAU team he doesn't know that he is working with his adopted son. That when 2016 comes around they end up on a case back in Vegas that thrifts them back in time to their unknown past with each other. By slowly piecing it together they realize that they are one and the same, that they are family. Can they learn to accept that they are family? Will they learn to forgive and be that family that Rossi once wanted for the two of them? Worse than that how will the team react when they learn of the father-son relationship between them? Will they realize that they are lucky to have each other before it's too late?

Chapter 1

1993

Spencer Reid-

He was only eleven years old but he was intelligent for his age as he was already in high school. His mother was proud of him. It was only a year ago when his father left him and his mother. So instead of her taking care of him, he has been taking care of her. It's hard for him as his mother has paranoid schizophrenia and he has to make sure that she gets out of bed or to get fresh air.

At the moment young Spencer Reid was outside in the backyard of the house with his back against a tree trunk. There was a book in front of him in his small eleven year old hands. His finger was scanning the page in front of him as he took in each word in a quick process of the brain. He got to the next page going through it just as quickly. He turned the page and started going through the next pages.

He looked up from his book as he noticed his mother was standing on the other side of the door. She was looking at him with a messy look to her. It looked like she was struggling with her condition. It looked like she was on the brink of having another episode. She moved away and walked off to most likely go to her bedroom.

Spencer looked back down at his book and put his finger back to where he stopped as he went through the many words that were printed there. He turned the page and got engulfed into the book, into the words, into the rhythm that was placed with the lines and chapters. He kept pointing his finger as he went down and turning the pages.

He finished the book and put it the side on his right. He then grabbed a book from his left and opened the cover. He took in the title of the book then flipped the first page. He went through the first pages which didn't have a whole lot more like a phrase, the title, copyright issues, publications and acknowledgements. He then got to the first chapter and soaked it all in.

He then started reading it as he pointed his finger on the page and went through the page processing all the information with the words as he read through it all. He got to the next page and turned it as he started reading the next page.

He was always different than the other kids as he has a high IQ, an eidetic memory and can process many words at a time while he read. That's how he was in high school at such a young age. But everyone at the school bullied him because he was so young and smart. Even though he was in high school he could do circles around the other student's brains. There were times when some of the students would try to get him to their homework.

Because of that he feels left out and out of place at the high school. No one ever treated him normally especially the teachers. They would pick on him and they have super high standards for him. People would say that he's a teacher's pet but he would say the other students who bullied him as Jack-offs. They just didn't understand them, none of them did.

He remembers what happened over a year ago. It was when his father left him. He couldn't handle and take it anymore with something that he was fighting with his mother. He suspected it had to do something with her condition on how it was deteriorating or something along those lines.

He sighed as he closed his book. He grabbed the other books that were on the grass and got up. He clutched the books to his body as he walked to the door opening it up. He entered the house as he walked through it.

David Rossi-

He was at his desk at the BAU also known as the BSU it just depends on who you talk to. He shuffled through the files that were on his desk as the door to the room opened. In came in Jason Gideon as he went opposite of the desk. David looked up to get a good look at his co-worker. He brought a folder up over his nose and to his eye level.

"You know you need something to fill that void in your life." said Jason Gideon as he sat down at a chair

"What are you talking about?" responded David Rossi as he set down the file

"It's just your so fixated on the job that you have no life to go to once you get home." told Jason Gideon

"I do have a life." replied David Rossi with tacit as he grabbed a new case file and opened it up

"And what do you do once you get home?" wondered Jason Gideon

"I . . . I uh." stuttered David Rossi

"Exactly you have no life outside your work." said Jason Gideon

"I may have no life outside of work but the thing is nothing is going to change that I promise you. Huh this looks like a promising case." said David Rossi

"What is it and where is it?" asked Jason Gideon

"Las Vegas, Nevada. It's-." started David Rossi

Spencer Reid-

He was sitting on the couch in the family room inside his house when he heard sirens going off. He looked up and out the window as he saw police cars speed by the house and stop three houses down and across. He got up and stood on the couch as he saw five police cars stop at the Alcott house. He didn't understand what was going on.

He looked to the side at a hall where it leads to his mother's room. The door was closed as she lying on her bed most likely asleep or just out of it. He sighed as he walked over to the front door opening it. He went out as he walked over to the house as the officers went in the house.

"Whoa kid!" shouted Rossi as he got out of the FBI car as he went over grabbing Spencer "You can't go in there."

"What's going on?" wondered Spencer

"I can't-." started Rossi

"Did something happen to the Alcott's?" wondered Spencer

"Kid." replied Rossi

"I'm not a kid. I'm in high school." told Spencer

"Yeah you're in high school." said Jason Gideon scoffing at the idea of that ten year old in high school "You're ten years old you should be in fourth or fifth grade."

"I'm eleven for your information." retorted Spencer

"He's not kidding." said a female voice a high school student that lived in the neighborhood "He goes to my high school."

"Really?" said Rossi as he looked at Spencer

"Yeah I have a high IQ, eidetic memory and process many words at a time when I read." told Spencer to the older man with facial hair "Now what's going on with the Alcott's?"

"Son, they're dead all of them." told Rossi to the eleven year old

"What, no." muttered Spencer

"I'm sorry." said Rossi to him as he was shocked "You should go back to your house while we work on the scene. We need to do our jobs we will find out who did this to them."

"Okay." said Spencer to the older man

Rossi smiled as he set his hand on the little boys shoulder. Spencer retaliated with a smile then walked back to his house. Rossi watched the boy as Spencer opened the door going inside. Once inside he turned around as he found his mother standing in the family. She was talking in cohesively to herself and ranting about nothing in particular.

Spencer looked around wondering what could have set her off. But she kept muttering and pointing at him. He started to realize that she was having an episode and seeing things. She started coming towards him but then the door to the house opened as both police and the two men from earlier came in. Rossi came holding the young boy.

"You okay what's going on with her?" asked Rossi as he only saw the police go over to her and grab barely seeing what she looked like

"She has paranoid schizophrenia." told Spencer

"Where's your dad?" wondered Rossi as he kneeled down in front of the boy

Spencer stood the not knowing what to say about that as his father left the two of them. His eyes wandered to the ground through his glasses. He only has her now. But she doesn't feel well and he's been more of the parent than she has been to him.

"Come with me." said Rossi as he put his hand out

Spencer took it and he went out of his house with the older man, not knowing his name and not knowing who is exactly. He looked back at the house wondering when he would ever come back to it.
