I don't own Criminal Minds
I know, I'm really doing a second bonus chapter. I reread the story recently and I felt that one important detail wasn't touched upon during the story. Spencer's mother. So here we go for a mini chapter.
Enjoy
Diana Reid sat in an armchair near a window on a rainy day. She stared out at the rain that seemed to be like a waterfall on the cool glass. She wanted to go outside and read today but not everyone can have everything.
She thought about many things while sitting in her chair, but she mostly thought about her dear son Spencer. He was her pride and joy in life. Her baby boy and she could only be proud of him. She remembered when he was first born. When she first saw that sweet, cooing baby with soft brown hair.
Flashback:
"Mrs. Reid, would you like to hold your baby?"
She nodded and held her arms out when the nurse brought over a small, pink infant in a blue blanket and cap.
The baby didn't fuss so much but snuggled into her arms like a kitten. The baby cooed and made little noises as she stared down at her first and only child. William Reid walked over to the bed and looked down at his son. With eyes glowing with joy and wonder, he too picked up the baby boy. He cradled him in his arms and kissed his soft hair.
"Oh he's just perfect" cried Diana. William nodded in agreement as he looked at his sleeping son. He placed the baby back into his mother's arms when the doctor asked William to sign some papers.
Diana looked down at the baby and smiled when he opened his tiny brown eyes. He looked at his mother curiously. Then with a small arm he reached for his mother.
"Oh something tells me you're going to be something amazing when you grow up..."
The baby yawned and closed his eyes again. "Diana, do you have idea for a name" asked William as he walked back to the bed.
"I think Spencer would be a good name. Don't you?"
William nodded, "I like that name." With his finger he held his baby's little hand, "Our little Spencer Reid."
End Flashback
Diana had tears in her eyes after remembering her son. She hadn't heard from in for ten years. She wept thinking that her poor son may be dead or in trouble.
Suddenly, she saw two people coming into the lounge room and looked up. There in the doorway was her son and a man she remembered…Derek Morgan. She got up and cried, her son was alive and well.
Spencer had tears in his eyes and went over to his mother. He held her as she wept loudly.
"I'm so sorry mom…."
She looked up at her son and smiled, "I'm just so happy that you're here. Where were you Spencer?"
"I have a lot to tell you mom…." He looked down in shame.
Diana listened intently as Spencer explained everything. The mental hospital, his kidnapping and then his recovery. When he cried into her shoulder, she held him close and kissed his forehead.
"Spencer, no matter what happens; you're still my perfect baby boy."
Diana held his son as she did when he was first born.
To her, whether he was a baby or an adult, Spencer Reid was her child and she would hold him till the day she died.
