Hey everyone, here is the next chapter for you all. I hope you enjoy this chapter. This chapter isn't nearly as long as I wanted to do so I'm doing another chapter tomorrow. I have no idea why I did it but I slept for eleven hours straight. I don't understand how I did it. I don't sleep at night, I sleep mostly during the day as I have a weird sleeping pattern. So there will be another long chapter tomorrow as well as a few one shots and of course, my daily update of my other fanfic. LaRieNGuBleR has an amazing mind and this is her mind baby come to life. You know me as the cliffy queen. I introduce her as the little devil, a nickname of her own choosing. I love it!

The next day

JJ let out a small yawn as she made her way into the hospital. A few hours of sleep was all she had needed. She had not wanted to go to the hotel but Hotch had ordered most of the team back there. Morgan had remained by Reid's side, not wanting to leave him. On the off-chance of anything happening, Morgan wanted to stay there. JJ looked up and stopped. For a few seconds, she thought it was her Spencer. Her brain kicked in and she realised it was Theo at the door. He was in his own clothes with a cigarette in his hand. JJ walked over to him.

"So you smoke then," JJ said.

"Only when things are really bad," Theo stated before taking another drag of the cigarette. "They discharged me. Katrina brought me some clothes. I don't want to leave though."

"Spence is strong, he always is," JJ smiled gently. "He'll come through this and be back to normal in no time. How about we go get some coffee and talk?"

Theo nodded and took on last puff of the cigarette. He threw it to the ground and stomped it out. They walked silently to cafeteria area in the hospital. Theo sat down while JJ got the coffee. She returned to the table and put a coffee and handful of sugars in front of him. Sitting down, she took a sip of her coffee.

"Why so much sugar?" Theo asked as he opened a packet of sugar and tipped it into his coffee. JJ looked down at the sugar packets.

"Sorry," she said. "Spence is a coffee addict and he always puts a lot of sugar in."

"One packet is enough for me," he shrugged. "I'm really sorry, for what I did."

"We did a search of the warehouse. We found cameras and we also found footage of the beating you gave Spence, on Gerard's phone. It's clear that you didn't have control. Spence knows that as well. It's strange to look at you. When I saw you, I thought you were him."

"I had no idea about all of this," Theo sighed. "I never knew he even existed till our kidnapping."

"He had no idea about you. Your real mother and father never told him anything about this."

"Wait," Theo said suddenly. "Does his- I mean, our mother, know about me? Does she know I'm alive?"

"We called but she isn't lucid enough to hear the news at the moment. We are going to try again tomorrow. It will be difficult for her to hear but when the time comes and you are both in front of her, she will hold her arms open and be glad she has you back. William Reid has also been contacted and we told him we had found you both. Everything will be fine when Spence when wakes up. My son keeps calling to see if he is awake."

"Why does your son keep calling?"

JJ brought out the photo she had taken back from the pin board at the department and handed it over to Theo. Theo smiled at the photo. "Henry is my son and Spence is Henry's godfather. Since the day Henry was born, Spence has cared for and loved him. Last Halloween, my son wanted to dress up as a profiler to try to find all the monsters. He dressed up as Spence because he is his favourite profiler."

Theo handed the photo back. "Your son is beautiful. Spencer is lucky to have you all.

Theo brushed his hand through his hair and took a deep breath. "I wish I had grown up with Spencer. I hated myself growing up. I only truly began to feel better about life when I met Katrina. She saved my life."

"How did you meet her?"

Theo bit his lip. "We met in drug rehab."

"Rehab?" JJ questioned. She found it eery that both Spence and Theo had experienced trouble with drugs.

"She got addicted to cocaine and I got addicted to heroin. We supported each other through rehab and with each others help, we got clean and we have stayed clean ever since then. I've never slipped and neither has she. I got sent to rehab after I overdosed, except, I wasn't responsible for the overdose. My so-called father was. Growing up with him was horrible. He was a drug dealer. Back then, I used to take a small amount for my needs. I took heroin to deal with the beatings and the things his friends would do to me. He caught me stealing from his stash. He knocked me out and when I came to, he had tied me up. He filled up the syringe and injected it into my arm. I almost died that night. He dumped me outside the hospital. I went into rehab on the doctor's recommendation. After rehab, I drifted apart from Katrina for a while. We kept in contact but we went in different directions. I drifted for a long time and then I came back to her five years ago. I'm sure you already saw in my file that spent a year in prison three years ago."

"I read the police report."

"Her ex-boyfriend pushed her down some stairs and she lost her baby. Our baby. I don't regret what I did and a year in prison was fine with me. She waited for me and now, we are together and expecting a baby. I'm terrified of being a bad father."

"You aren't going to be a bad father," JJ said before reaching out and holding his hand. "Besides, Spence will be there as a super uncle to keep you on track."

Theo let out a large smile. "I hope he will. I hope he wakes up okay."

"Theo, I think you should go and see Spence."

"I can't. Agent Morgan is in there."

"Morgan has calmed down since yesterday. He knows Spencer better than any of us. They have a brotherly connection and it would be good for you to speak with Morgan."


Morgan continued to read aloud from the book. Tales of Edgar Allan Poe. He knew it was one of Reid's favourite books. All he wanted to do was see Reid open his eyes but he knew he would have to wait.

"Can I come in?" a voice came from the door. Morgan looked up to see Theo looking at him.

"What are you doing here?"

Morgan found it disturbing to see Theo. He wished that it was Reid, and not Theo, standing in front of him.

"Please, just let me stay. Agent Jareau, um, JJ, told me to come and talk to you. She said that you are the closest to Spencer out of all the team."

Closing the book, Morgan motioned for Theo to take a seat on the other side of the hospital bed. Theo took a seat and looked at Reid. Morgan kept himself in check as he watched Theo take hold of Reid's hand.

"I never meant to hurt him," Theo quietly said. "I don't even remember doing it. I will do anything to help him. He said you would come for us. He had complete faith that you would rescue us."

"He is the heart of the team," Morgan smiled gently. "You have to understand that seeing him like this, hurts like hell. We almost lost him before and I get angry at those who hurt him."

"When did you almost lose him?"

"He got kidnapped by a man called Tobias Hankel. He got drugged, tortured and he almost died. The bastard gave him too much of the drug and he had a seizure, his heart stopped and we saw it on a live feed. Tobias performed CPR and saved him. He was almost killed when the guy played a sick version of russian roulette. Look, all I want is for Reid to wake up and be himself. It's hard seeing you because you are identical to him."

"What d-did he get drugged with?" Theo asked nervously.

Morgan deliberated for a moment before sighing. "Dilaudid. Drug store Heroin."

Theo swallowed and took a deep breath before turning back to Reid. He looked to Morgan. "I guess we are more identical than I thought."

"You mean-," Morgan began.

Theo put his hand up. "I was, a long time ago."

"Is he happy being an FBI agent?"

Morgan smiled. "He belongs at the BAU. He has helped so many people with his big brain. He has also taken care of your mother extremely well."

Theo was about to talk when a small gasp came from the door.

"Oh my god," the man smiled at Theo before stepping into the room. Theo stood up, confusion stamped on his face. He looked to see Morgan also standing up. "You are really alive."

"Agent Morgan, who is this?"

"Theo, this is William Reid. Your biological father."

Theo stared at William and saw him look down at Spencer. "What happened?"

Morgan watched Theo shake his head subtly at him.

"He got beaten by the unsub," Morgan lied. "He's in a coma and has serious injuries. The doctor hopes he will wake up soon."

William looked to Theo and stepped forward with his arms open. Theo stepped back from William, not wanting the contact. Stepping back, William dropped his arms to his side. "I'm sorry, it's just, we thought we had lost you all that time ago. To see you alive and here is a miracle. Hello, Theo."

"Hello," Theo said timidly.

"Your mother and I always thought you had died the day you were born. This is wonderful."

"You left him," Theo stated stoically.

"What are you talking about?" William asked.

"You left Spencer alone with a schizophrenic mother because you couldn't cope and he had to struggle through his childhood while you lived freely, able to do anything that you wanted. Don't think that I'm a fresh start. A new son you can have a relationship with."

"Theo, please. I just want to talk."

"We will talk when Spencer wakes up but let me tell you this. You ran away from our mother because her condition became too much for you. You couldn't cope with her being a paranoid schizophrenic."

"Theo, you don't understand," Will said. "I can explain everything if you let me."

Theo began to laugh, he turned to William with anger blazing in his eyes. "I don't understand," he snapped. "I got diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic a year ago and I'm on medication to keep it under control. Don't stand there and tell me I don't understand. Get out. If Spencer wants to talk to you, then we will talk but for now, leave us the fuck alone."

William quickly retreated from the room. Theo took deep breathes to calm himself down. He looked up to see Morgan smiling at him. "What?"

"I guess Reid is going to have more than one protector from now on."


Theo sat next to Reid and read from the book that Morgan had read from. He appreciated that Morgan had left him alone with Spencer for a little while. He stopped reading and closed his eyes. The past haunting his mind.

Theo heard his father leave the house. He waited for a moment before sneaking into his father's room. He brought out the small box under the bed and lifted it up to see all the drugs. He sifted through the baggies till he came to the heroin. He brought it into his hand and smiled.

"I knew it!" his father's voice boomed from behind him. He stumbled to his feet and saw his father, angry and ready to give a beating. "I knew some was going missing."

Theo yelped as his father stormed forward and wrapped a hand around his throat. He cried out again as his father forced him against the wall. "Dad, I'm sorry, please."

"You like getting high. I'll give you all I want."

Darkness rushed over him as his father smashed his head into the wall.

Opening his eyes, he found his arms tied above his head. He blinked a few times and saw his father on top of him, preparing a syringe. He smiled down at Theo and put the tourniquet around his son's arm. Theo noticed the amount in the syringe. It was too much and he knew it.

"Dad, no! Please, you'll kill me. NO!"

Theo ripped himself away from the memory and felt a tear down his cheek. He held Spencer's hand and closed his eyes.

"Please, wake up. I need a brother. I need you to wake up."
