I don't own Criminal Minds
Enjoy
Spencer walked into the break room to get a strong cup of coffee. He was still seething about Garcia and Morgan for snooping into his family life. Well…lack thereof.
So with a heavy sigh, he drank the coffee to calm himself and rationalize the situation. Now that he had an outburst like that, the team will never let the topic drop. They will keep asking him why wasn't he with his family or at least spending the holidays with them.
He made himself another cup after he finished his current one and walked back into the bullpen.
His team was working amongst themselves quietly, but Spencer could easily tell that they were watching him. It irritated him greatly.
So for the rest of the day, they worked diligently until it was about five pm. Spencer grabbed his bag and some more files to finish over the vacation.
But just before he could turn to leave, the team was around him again.
Damn it all.
"Alright Reid, spill it. Why don't you go see your family" asked Garcia, determination in her eyes.
Spencer sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Look guys, this is a very…hard topic for me to discuss. My family and I are…very different. We used to be close, somewhat…"
"But Spencer you have a big family that means a bug party and fun. Why miss out on that?"
"Garcia, my family never has reunions or parties. We hardly know each other. I have two close cousins but since…well we haven't talked in a good while that's all."
"But why?"
Please just drop it.
"This is all I'm going to discuss about it." He finally managed to squeeze by his team and left the office in a hurry.
The team watched him leave and they still had undying curiosity about Spencer's family.

"Hi is this Rose Wilson" asked JJ over the speaker phone with the rest of the team sitting around it.
"Oh yes….who is this?"
"I'm JJ I work with your cousin Spencer Reid."
"…Oh I haven't heard from him in years…why are you calling?"
"Well, we want to invite you and Ross Brady and you can all get together for the holidays. It's a surprise for Spencer."
There was a long pause.
"…you have no idea why he left do you?"
JJ frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Look our family is insanely old –fashioned and superstitious. Especially with what happened to our grandparents. They wanted him to conform to their ways. If he did he would be married by the age of seventeen."
The team looked at each other. "Our family is an old aristocratic family, Spencer is the youngest blood relative at this point and the only one that isn't married. Spencer's parents moved to America because Diana didn't want an arranged marriage. Spencer was going to married too…but…look that's all I'm going to say about it. Just let Spencer be…its better if he stays away…"
Click.
The team looked at one another in disbelief. There was more to Spencer's family then they realized.
