Heyy all, here we go, chapter ten! Double digits! I can't wait to see/read your reactions to this chapter. Seems to be flowing a bit easier again. Sorry for the delay in chapter, real life took a hit. This chapter is 1143 words long.

I don't have much to say, so without further adieu,

Chapter Ten, Meeting the Family

The trio left in the bullpen moved to the BAU room with the large round table. Spencer and Hotch settled into a pair of chairs, Emily stood with Isadora in her arms. The dark haired woman had finally come back to reality and was waiting for the rest of the team to get to the room before Spencer would explain all that had happened and what exactly had happened. The trio talked and chatted about inconsequential things while they waited.

Morgan stopped at JJ's office first as her's was the first in the hall beyond the glass doors. As he knocked on the open door frame he said, "knock knock."

JJ looked up from her files and at the man before her. "Hey Morgan, what can I do for you?"

"Reid's in the bullpen, thought you might want to know. He's got the baby." Morgan nodded in the direction of the main part of the floor. JJ smiled and closed her file.

"I'll just have to go see them, now wont I?" She asked rhetorically, "Does Penelope or Dave know?"

Morgan nodded. "I'm headed to Penny's office, Dave doesn't know yet I don't think."

JJ nodded. "I'll get him on my way over. See ya in there." The blonde stood from her desk and made her way out of the office as Morgan made his way a bit farther down the hall to Penelope's "Lair".

Penelope would never pass up an opportunity to see her Izzie, so nearly as soon as the words were out of Morgan's mouth, she was up and out of her office. The pair scuttled down the hall and back into the now empty, of their team at least, bullpen. A quick look around found Emily standing in the BAU room through the window. They made their way in and quickly settled in to wait for JJ and Rossi.

In Rossi's office, JJ was attempting to convince the man in question to come to the BAU room even though there was no case.

"I'm sorry JJ, I need to get this done, 'family meetings' will just have to wait." Dave said gesturing to the stack of files on his desk.

"No, those can wait," She said and grabbed his arm. "We can't, lets go."

Dave shook his head, but let himself be dragged from his office and to the BAU room.

Once the team got together in the BAU room, after a "What the hell is this?" from Rossi upon spotting Isadora, which received a reply of "I know you don't have any, but I figured you would know a baby when you saw one." from Emily who had passed said baby back to Spencer. Spencer stood with Isadora at one side of the room and got everyone to sit.

"So, I assume you want an explanation." He asked, Emily and Dave nodded their heads. "This is Isadora. When we got home from the last case I found her laying out side my door. After a few panicked moment, I called Garcia." Penelope nodded. "She came over and helped me out."

Penelope continued the next bit of the story. "I got there, bringing Izzie some things, and we looked up the video feed from the building. After that Wonder Boy called the police and they sent over a pair of officers to take statements and then a CPS worker came. Reid agreed to keep the little one until next of kin could be located."

Then came a great discussion about the baby, Spencer's car, Spencer's apartment, Spencer's ability to raise a child, and this all happened, while Spencer stood rocking Isadora, pretending he wasn't in the room. After the talk, the revelations about Spencer's Tahoe, his plans for a new home, and how well he had been with the baby as of yet, Hotch asked a question that got everyone's, even Spencer, who had yet to rejoin the conversation, attention.

"Can we see the tape of Isadora's mother?"

Penelope looked dumb struck for a moment before bustling from the room and heading into her office, only to return minutes later with her laptop and a cord to connect it to the TV in the room. She quickly connected the laptop and TV and set about finding the saved video files on her laptop's hard drive. When she found it, she made it full screen and pressed play.

The team watched the footage of the red headed woman walking into the building with the pink bundle, and out of the building with out it. Penelope hit two buttons and the next scene came up. The woman appeared through the stair well doors, the bundle clutched to her chest, she counted the doors, checking the numbers before stopping in front of Reid's. She kissed the baby's forehead and settled her in front of the door. With a last glance at her child, the woman fled back through the stair well door. Penelope let the feed show for a few more minutes until Spencer stumbled through the door at the end of the hall. The team watched him drop his bags and reach for his gun before spotting the child. They watched him pick her up and enter his apartment.

"Baby Girl, can you get a fix on her face?" Morgan asked leaning forwards in his seat.

"That was what I was working on when you came in. Let me see." Her voice trailed off as she typed away on the computer and the team watched as the video backed up, a box formed around the woman's head. The inside of the box zoomed in and the software de-pixelated it. Slowly the features of the woman began to take shape. A few minutes of clicking on the key board, and the image was clear.

The woman had a bit of a pointy face, a thin chin. Her lips were full and red, like she had just put on a fresh coat of lip stick. Her nose was a little bit crooked like it had been broken once before. Her eyes were wide set and deep green, rimmed with dark lashes, her eye brows were expertly plucked into thin arches. The expression on her face was one of pain. Her eyes held tears which seemed to be nearly ready to fall. Her jaw was visibly clenched and her lips pursed tightly as if holding back a sob.

The room was quiet, each person studying the picture, searching for familiarity with in it. Spencer's forehead creased with concentration, JJ bit her lower lip.

The room each had their tells that they were all lost in thought, this didn't change until a voice spoke up. "I think I saw her at a bar once."
