A/N: I'm sorry this update took so long. I've been really busy with work and classes and editing my novel. Writing fanfiction is something I do for fun and to work through writer's block, so sometimes I won't always have time to update all my stories as quickly as you all would like, but I will update eventually. Anyway, this chapter combines a few of the last episodes together. It might be a bit confusing and maybe a little jumpy, but just go with it.

Sophia walked into the kitchen and saw Reid standing by the counter, staring out the window. He hadn`t been the same since Gideon died. She didn't really know Gideon that well. He was there when she was rescued but he had left soon after. But she knew Reid and Gideon were close and this was really hard for him.

She didn't know what to say to him. She tried a few times, but he barely said anything. He didn't want to talk. He didn't want to do much of anything. He kept zoning out like he was doing now, getting lost in his thoughts as he tried to process it all.

She stood awkwardly in the doorway, unsure what to do. She looked over at Garcia with a look of concern and she offered her a smile. "Hey Reid," Garcia said. "Do you want to take Sophia to school today?"

"Can you do it?" He said as he continued to look out the window.

Sophia's heart sank a little, she knew it wasn't personal but he had been avoiding her a lot lately. She turned and left the room, grabbing her bag and going to sit out on the front porch. She did that sometimes, it was where she would go to think.

Garcia came out the door and sat down beside her daughter. "It's not you."

"I know." Sophia said. "I just wish I knew how to make him feel better."

"You are the light of his life and you always make him feel better." She said. "But sometimes you need to let the people you love go through whatever it is that they need to deal with. Gideon was his mentor and they were really close."

"We've all lost people we were close with." Sophia looked at her. "Why doesn't he ask us for help?"

"It's hard to talk to other people about things like this." She tried to explain. "Nobody really likes to talk about it."

"I talked to him about it when it happened to me." Sophia said. "I always talk to him."

"Yes, you do. You two have a special bond, and you have right from the beginning." Garcia smiled. "When he's ready, he'll talk to you."

"What are my girls doing out here?" Morgan called as he came up the walkway. He had spent the night with Savannah but he always tried to make it home in the before to see Sophia before she left for school. "What's going on?"

"Sophia is worried about Reid." Garcia said as Morgan sat down on the other side of Sophia.

"Baby, he's just working through the grief process." Morgan said. "He'll be okay. We're looking out for him."

"Do you have a case?" She asked. "Maybe we can do something together to remind him we're here for him."

"Not yet, if we don't get called away we'll have a family night." Morgan said slowly, afraid he'd jinx it. "But you have to go to school first, and you're going to be late, so let's go."

"Or we could all take a day off?" Sophia asked with a smile and pleading eyes.

Morgan shook his head with a grin as he looked at Garcia. "She gets that look from you." He said before he looked at Sophia. "Nice try, but we have to go."

Sophia sighed. "Fine, Dad, be uncool."

"Hey, now." He frowned. "Just go get your bag."

Garcia laughed when Sophia went back inside. "All sass that one, I taught her well."

"Yes you did." Morgan nodded with a grin as Garcia's phone went off. He sighed. "Work?"

"Work." She nodded. "Rock, paper, scissors, who tells her?"

Morgan smirked. "I got it. I'll bring her to school."

"So, guess what we're doing tonight?" Caitlin said as met Sophia at her locker.

"That's your double-date voice." Sophia said as she looked at her. "And that's your scheming face."

"Best of both worlds." She grinned. "We're going to see 50 Shades of Grey with the guys."

"Isn't that movie rated R?" Sophia frowned. "How are we getting in?"

"Some guy on the football team works there and he's going to let us in." She said. "We just buy a ticket for a different movie and then go into the other theatre."

"And the guys want to see this movie?" Sophia asked.

"It's about sex and they get to see boobs, so of course they want to see it." Caitlin explained. "Come on, you said you wanted to see it."

"Yeah, I know and I do, I'm just surprised the guys agreed." She said. "Do you think they'll be expecting something?"

"Aren't they always?" Caitlin shrugged. "Should we get ready at your house or mine?"

"Well, my parents are on another case so my house is empty." Sophia said, slightly disappointed she wasn't going to get to have family night. She really wanted to reconnect with Reid.

The day seemed to fly by and before she knew it, Sophia was getting ready for her date. Her parents were still working, so she told Garcia that she was going to the movies with Caitlin, Mark and Liam, but she didn't tell her what movie she was seeing.

Whenever they were all working late, Garcia would usually have someone check in on Sophia until she got home. Usually it was Will, but lately Savannah had been stepping into that role more. Sophia didn't really mind, she had gotten pretty used to Savannah being around.

"So, what movie are you going to see?" Savannah asked as she drove Caitlin and Sophia to the theatre. She had been trying to connect more with Sophia now that Derek and her were more serious. It was going slow, but smoothly so far.

"We don't know." Caitlin said. "It's the guys turn to pick, so probably something stupid."

Savannah grinned with a nod. "Alright, well text me what time it's supposed to end when you decide what movie you're seeing."

"Okay, sounds good." Sophia said as she opened the car door. "Wait, are you on call?"

"No, not tonight." She said. "I will definitely pick you up."

Sophia and Caitlin left the car and went into the theatre to meet the guys. They already had their tickets and getting into the theatre was pretty easy, so easy that Sophia wondered why they had never done it before. They sat near the back to hide from the ushers, just in case, but it seemed like there were a lot of underage teenagers in the theatre.

The girls sat in the middle with the guys on the outside. The movie was kind of awkward to sit through for fifteen year olds and Sophia didn't think it was all that good. She figured the guys probably liked the sex scenes, but not much else, and she was glad when it was over.

"Next time we're seeing something with zombies." Liam said and Sophia grinned back at him.

"It wasn't that bad." Caitlin said.

"Yeah, at least we picked up some tips." Mark said with a smirk.

"Too bad you won't get to use them." Caitlin shot back.

"Well, maybe not with you." He said jokingly.

"You're not funny." Caitlin said.

"Sophia?" A voice called from one of the aisle as they walked down the steps. Sophia turned to see Savannah and two of her friends. They kind of just looked at each other for a moment before they all continued out of the theatre.

Savannah waited for them a few feet away as they said goodbye to the guys. Caitlin wasn't too worried and neither was Mark, but Sophia was and Liam sensed it. He told her that he'd call her later and he kissed her goodnight.

"That was not an appropriate movie for you to see." Savannah said once they started driving. "How did you even get in?"

"It's not that hard to sneak into a movie." Sophia mumbled.

"Yeah, you're a doctor." Caitlin said. "It's not like teenagers don't know about sex."

"That film is not a good educational tool for healthy relationship goals." She said.

"Then why were you there?" Sophia asked.

"It's a little different, Sophia." She said. "I'm an adult being the main point."

"Are you going to tell my Dad?" Sophia asked. "I really don't want to have some awkward sex talk with him, or any of my parents for that matter."

"Yeah, me either." Caitlin said. "It was only a movie, it's not like we're doing anything."

"I don't know." Savannah sighed. "Young girls have to deal with enough pressure in relationships without that film."

"It's only a movie." Sophia said. "Liam doesn't pressure me to do anything, and he didn't even like the movie."

"Mark jokes around like he did tonight, but he doesn't pressure me either." Caitlin said.

"Well, that's good to hear." Savannah said with a nod. "I'm not going to tell your Dad."

Sophia smiled at her. "Thanks."

Sophia came home after school a few days later to all three of her parents at home. That rarely happened, even when they didn't have a case they usually worked until later in the evening. They had just finished a case in a prison and they all needed some time off, especially Morgan. He had gotten into a fight with some of the inmates and the aftermath was on his face in the form of bruising and cuts. Reid was back to himself and he was trying to make up for the past few weeks.

"Oh my God," Sophia said when she saw Morgan's face. "What happened?"

"It's just part of the job, baby girl." He said as he hugged her. "I'm fine."

"I don't like you're job." She mumbled into his chest. Any time they got hurt it reminded her how dangerous their job was and that they weren't invincible. They could be hurt, and that means they could be taken away from her.

Morgan smiled and kissed her head as they separated. "I'm fine." He repeated. He was glad she didn't know any details of the cases they worked, he didn't want to expose her to that fear.

"Sophia, is the career job shadow tomorrow?" Garcia asked. "We have the day off tomorrow, but we could still go in and do paperwork so we could show you around and make sure you have something to write about."

"Actually," Sophia said slowly as she turned to Morgan and he raised his eyebrows at her. He knew that look she had, it was the 'I have a plan/ I need a favour' look. "Can I job shadow Savannah?"

Morgan hesitated for a moment as he looked at Garcia and Reid. He wasn't offended that she didn't want to shadow him, but he wanted to make sure they were okay with it too. They nodded their approval, Garcia even smiled as this meant Sophia was warming up to Savannah more.

"I can call her." Morgan said. "See what she has going on tomorrow."

"Thanks, Dad." She smiled. "Are we having family night?"

"That's the plan." Garcia announced. "Do you have homework?"

Sophia hesitated and Reid grinned. "That's a yes."

"It's not that much, I can do it later." She said.

"No, you'll do it now." Reid said. He was always really serious about her school work.

"Daddy," She whined. "It's not going to take me that long."

"Good, then you'll have it done before dinner." He said.

Sophia sighed dramatically and sat down at the table. "Fine, but I'm not going to like it."

Reid grinned at her. "I didn't say you had to like it, sweetheart."

Family night usually consisted of cooking, playing games, and watching movies. It always helped all of them feel closer and reconnect with each other and that night was no different. The next morning Sophia went to the hospital with Savannah. She was glad Savannah agreed to let her go, Sophia knew that she probably wasn't going to say no. Their first patient was Kate's niece, Meg. She had tried to pierce her own belly button.

"So, why did you really do it?" Savannah asked Meg. "Are you punishing Kate for being on the road so much? Look, it isn't easy loving someone who is gone so much, but it isn't easy for them either."

"Trust me, they don't like being away." Sophia said. "But they do make up for it."

Savannah smiled. "If you ever need to talk, I'm a good sounding board." She said. "And Sophia has enough experience to walk you through it."

"So, are you giving her a little tough love or what?" Derek asked Kate as they walked through the office. "If Sophia did that I think I'd lose my mind."

"I want to but she's never been 13 and I've never had a teenager, and there's not really a manual."

"Well, I don't know." He shrugged. "I'm pretty sure there are millions of books out there on raising teenager girls."

Kate frowned at him with a slight smirk. "And did you read any of them when it came to Sophia?"

Morgan grinned. "No, but I call my mom all the time." He said. "She raised two teenage girls by herself."

"What would you do?" She said. "Tough love?"

"Probably." He nodded. "I'm that kind of parent, Garcia is the nice one and Reid is the understanding one. We figured it out and you will too."

"I think she's just rebelling against a conversation we had the other night." She said as she stepped in front of him. "I'm pregnant."

"No, really?" He said as he grinned and hugged her. "Congratulations."

"Oh, there's hugging, I want in." Garcia said as she came over. "Why are we hugging? Why are you glowing?"

Kate smiled as she looked at Morgan and then back at Garcia. "I'm pregnant."

"Oh, I'm so happy." Garcia said.

"Well, I wish Meg was happy." Kate said. "She didn't take the news so well."

"She pierced her belly button." Morgan explained. "Kate was asking how we handle Sophia when she acts out."

"I'm pretty guilty of giving in to her demands." Garcia nodded and Morgan laughed. "I'm the worst at following through on consequences."

"What are we talking about?" Reid asked.

"Our parenting styles." Garcia said.

"That's easy. I'm communicative, Garcia you're nurturing and you're authoritative." Reid said as he looked at Morgan. "We have a pretty good system."
