When the team got home, JJ brought her kids over to play which gave the adults some time to talk. Reid was concerned about his kids. They both seemed to be very traumatized by what happened. Reid wasn't the kind of person to open up. He tended to hide how he feels from people. Unfortunately for him, he works with profilers and they can read him. It doesn't help that he has been working with Emily, JJ and Rossi for over 10 years on and off. The rest for the team, the newer members have been around since the twins were born. So It was hard to hide things from his family.

"So whats going on with you?" JJ asked once all of the kids had run off. Reid smiled. The twins were just a little bit younger then JJ's youngest son. Henry always acted like an older brother to Reid's kids. Reid looked at her and sighed.

"When you guys were on the case I got called to school because Olivia had hit another child. Then that same night, I woke up to a loud crashing noise. I guess Owen had gotten upset and threw something against his mirror and it broke. I don't know what to do JJ. They both are acting out and I just wonder, is it because of who there mom is. Will they end up like her?" Spencer asked.

JJ put her hands on his. "Spence, those kids have a father who loves and cares for them. They have gone through alot. They aren't going to end up like her. They have your DNA" JJ says. Spencer smiled and hugs her.

"Thank you Jayje. That means a lot" Spencer said.

They both continued to talk for an hour. They were distracted until the kids ran up to them and asked them for lunch. They both had completely forgot about food. So Spencer ordered a pizza and promised it would be there soon. In the meantime the kids ate some fruit and veggies Reid kept sat the house to hold them over.

The kids were playing in Spencer and JJ's line of site. They could keep an eye on them and make sure that the kids where playing nicely. Though Henry was old enough and they trusted him to keep the peace. Henry was nearly ten years older then the twins.

When the doorbell rang the twins ran over to the table and sat down. As if it was a learned response. Spencer went to the door and paid the pizza man before bringing the pizza over and giving the kids a slice. It was a nice day spent with his best friend. When JJ and the kids left it was time for bed. Spencer put the kids up in their rooms and kissed them both before heading downstairs. He had to go back to work tomorrow and he was excited to get back but also concerned about how the kids would react.

Reid went to bed in his own bed and for the first time since the kidnapping a week ago, nobody came into his room. Reid had a peaceful night sleep. Spencer woke up at 6:30 and went into the kids room to get them ready for school. They both were very sleepy. Spencer got them both dressed. Olivia in a pretty pink dress and tights and Owen in a red shorts with a button down white tee shirt. Spencer quickly braided Olivia's hair into French braids. One thing he didn't expect about having a daughter was having to do her hair. It was something he picked up quickly and it was one hairdo Olivia actually allowed him to do.

The twins both ate Oatmeal and some blueberries. The twins grabbed their backpacks and Reid strapped them into their carseats. They drove to school. Before they went in Spencer bent down and talked to Olivia.

"Olivia, you keep your hands off other kids today okay. Be a good girl. I don't want to hear anything from the school." Spencer said. Olivia nodded. She kissed her dad.

"I love you daddy" Olivia said

"I love you too Liv" Spencer said. He watched as his little girl walked away. Her blonde hair in braids moving as she walked.

Spencer got back into his car and drove to the BAU. He walked in the door and he saw a cupcake on his desk. It was from Garcia.

"I told her it was too much." JJ said. Spencer laughed.

"I mean I do love cupcakes." Spencer smiled at her. He took a bite of the cupcake and he sat down at his desk and started to go through the paperwork. He ate the rest of the cupcake before Emily came out of her office. Reid stood up knowing they had a case.

They went through the briefing. Leah was already on board to watch the kids. He was tempted to just have her move into the house and have her full time. She already said she was willing to do it.

It was a a few days before they were able to make it home. They stayed in the office to finish paperwork. When they were finished they went home. Spencer knew the kids probably would be getting ready for bed.

When he got home he was just in time to tuck the twins into bed. He did so and then paid Leah. Spencer stopped her

"Hey Leah?" He said

"Yeah Dr. Reid"

"You know you can call me Spencer. I was just going to ask would you be willing to live here with the kids." He asked

Leah smiled. "Of course Spencer. That would would be great. Thank you" She said. Reid nodded.

"Thank you. For watching my kids and being there for them. You are family. I hope you know that" Spencer told her. She went home to pack and gather her things to move into the home. She was a 26 year old girl who was trying to pay off her student debts. She was grateful to have a full time job. She had been working with the family since the twins were babies. She has watched them grow up and loved them.

The one thing the man was missing was a girlfriend. He of wanted to find someone like Maeve. That was something that would be hard to do.

Luckily someone had the same idea.

Leah's POV

Leah went home after being asked to work live with Spencer. She was excited. She called her friends to celebrate. She invited her friend Anne who was a Engineer that worked for NASA.

"Hey Leah"

"Hey Anne how are you" Leah said.

"I'm good. Work was crazy. I am glad I only work set hours and able to go home after." Anne said. Leah laughed.

"Yeah that kind explains my boss." Leah tells her.

"You should go out on a date. He's a genius too you know" Leah said.

"And?" Anne said

"You too would be amazing together. " She said. Anne laughed.

"Okay fine you set it up" Anne told her.

Leah followed through and two weeks later Spencer and Anne were going out on a date. Spencer sat at the table. This was the first time he had gone on a date since Maeve had died. Anne was brought over to the table and Reid stood up. She was beautiful. She had blond hair and green eyes. She was tall and thin. The two talked for hours and really hit it off. They talked about their jobs. Thats when Reid found out she worked for NASA. Also that she had a PHD as well. Before they knew it it was time to go and they were planning for their next date.
