After Morgan and Garcia had tucked Spencer in for the night Morgan took a seat on the recliner and Garcia sat on Morgan's lap. "I can't believe Spencer put the paper clip in his mouth since he still has his adult memories intact." Garcia said.
"We have to remember even though he has adult memories; Spencer has the instincts of a baby; a baby who wants to explore." Morgan said and Garcia nodded.
"And I can't believe Stephen hid his condition from us, especially his dad and hired someone to impersonate his father. It could have ended badly." Garcia said.
"It almost did." Morgan said.
"Yeah. But I kind of understand him. I don't know how I would react if I suddenly found myself needing a guardian."
"I promise I'll take care of you Baby-girl if you ever should need one."
"Awww thank you, hot-stuff I'd appreciate that a lot."
After they talked for a while they got up and made some popcorn and watched some movies together. In the middle of the second movie the baby monitor started to stir and a few seconds later a wail could be heard. Garcia hurried into the nursery and took Spencer out of the crib. She checked his diaper and changed it as it was wet but Spencer didn't stop crying. She rocked him back and forth. Morgan came and gave her a bottle he'd prepared, but to their surprise the baby refused it. "What's wrong baby?" Garcia asked worried. Spencer just kept crying. Garcia looked worriedly at Morgan and hoped he knew what to do. Morgan took Spencer from Garcia and tried to calm him down but with no luck. "Maybe he's teething? He's drooling a lot and I haven't noticed that before."
"Ahh my poor baby-angel is hurting. How can we help him?"
"Didn't you buy him a teething ring when you went shopping after we got him the first time at Hotch's place?"
"Oh yeah. Forgot all about that. JJ thought he might need it then."
"Find it and put it in the freezer for a few minutes. But only for a few minutes just enough to get it cold. I don't want to cause Spencer frost bite."
Garcia nodded and hurried to do as asked while Morgan sang a lullaby walking around the nursery while holding Spencer over his shoulder. A few minutes later Garcia came back with the teething ring and handed it to Morgan. Morgan checked the teething ring to make sure it wasn't too cold and when he was satisfied he put the teething ring in Spencer's mouth and the baby accepted it gladly. Spencer calmed down while he rubbed his gums with the teething ring. Morgan rocked him while Spencer was cradled in his arms and kept singing a lullaby in the hopes that Spencer would go back to sleep. It took awhile but at last Spencer fell asleep. But when Morgan tried to put Spencer back in his crib he started to whimper. So Morgan took Spencer with him to the living room. He lay down on the couch with baby Spencer on his stomach. Garcia lay a comforter over them and aww'd at the sight. And when Morgan had fallen asleep she took a picture. Before Garcia went to bed in the guest room she gave Morgan a gentle kiss on his forehead and then she gave Spencer one too. "Sweet dreams my two wonderful boys."

Back at the Cheyenne Mountain.
"If Dr. Spencer Reid really has been downsized to a baby too, we should have Dr. Fraiser check him over." Jack said.
The General nodded. "Yes. But how are we going to get them to admit that the baby is Dr. Spencer Reid?"
Jack was about to answer but the baby he had in his arms started to whimper. "Shh, shh Baby." Jack said and rocked the baby back and forth.
General Hammond studied Colonel O'Neill and the baby in the Colonel's arms. "You better tuck 'your son' in for the night Colonel. We can continue the briefing tomorrow."
Jack nodded. "Thank you, Sir."

The next morning Morgan woke up his neck felt really stiff. He looked down and noticed two big brown eyes studying him. "Mornin' Pretty Baby. Feeling better today?"
"Marga!"
Morgan made a face. "Ahhh come on Spencer Jay. I thought you were a genius. Come on baby. Say Morgan."
Spencer Jay smiled brightly and yelled, "Marga!"
Morgan sat up and held Spencer Jay up so that he could tickle the baby's tummy with his head and the child giggled whole heartedly.
Garcia entered the living room at that moment. "Good morning, my two precious. Be careful there Chocolate. Do you want to risk the baby getting sick?"
"Don't worry Baby-Girl. Spencer Jay is stronger then he looks. And besides he started it. He's calling me names."
Garcia shook her head. "I'm starting to wonder who's really the kid here." She said giggling.
Morgan was about to comment on it when the phone rang. Garcia answered it. "Hi Gideon-man! Happy to hear from you. How's Stephen?… hmm mm… okay… Yes everything is ready… you need what?" Garcia asked surprised. "Okay. I'll go buy the things he needs. I'll let Morgan stay and take care of Spencer Jay. Can't wait to see you too. And Spencer Jay misses you. Yes he is doing well. He's teething though… It was bad last night but the teething ring was able to help him. Okay… see you… bye and kiss Stephen for me and tell Boss-man hi from me." Garcia said and then hung up.
Morgan looked questioningly at Garcia. "They are coming home today. Stephen is allowed to stay here on trail basis, but Gideon said that Hotch was sure that there wouldn't be any problems for Gideon to keep being Stephen's guardian as he hadn't neglected him on purpose as he didn't know about his condition."
Morgan sighed in relief. "Good. So what did Gideon want you to go shopping?"
"Oh. Just some personal things Stephen will need."
Morgan frowned. "Like what?"
"Stephen has some other problems than his mental health and needs some things to help him. Sorry, I won't tell you what till I get the okay to tell you. I don't want to embarrass Stephen. He'll have enough of a hard time already."
Morgan nodded. "Yeah that he'll have." Morgan said and stopped begging her for an answer.
"I'll get some breakfast ready for us and after breakfast and a shower I'll go shopping and let you have the baby sitting duty."
"Ahhh how are we going to do without you?" Morgan pouted with a glimmer in his eyes.
"You'll manage Chocolate."
While Garcia prepared breakfast she let Spencer bite on a sugar free biscuit for Spencer's irritated gums. Spencer Jay sat in his booster seat gumming on the biscuit while he observed Garcia preparing the food. Morgan used the opportunity to take a shower.
After breakfast Spencer Jay was the one badly in need of a bath,as he was covered in baby food all over. Morgan shook his head. "I can't believe how messy you are now kid. I'd thought you'd always been a neat freak. Guess I was wrong."
While Morgan gave Spencer a bath Garcia took a shower in the master bathroom.
In the baby bathtub Spencer Jay was happily splashing water everywhere while he used the rubber duck as a teething ring. Before the bath was over Morgan was wet all over again. "Ahh Pretty-baby. I already had a shower, didn't need one so soon."
Spencer just giggled smugly.
When Morgan got to the living room with Spencer in his arms Garcia was still in the bathroom getting ready for a new day. Morgan placed Spencer in his play pen and gave him a few toys to play with and a book for a five year old guessing this special baby was too bright for a baby book. And sure enough the baby studied the book closely like it was reading it Reid-style.
After Garcia was done in the bathroom she kissed her boys and told them she would be back ASAP.
"So what should us boys do while we're alone? Huh?" Morgan asked the baby from the play pen.
"Should we get a secret of our own?"
