I apologize for taking so long to update. I just lacked inspiration but I finally got it done. I hope you enjoy it and I will try to get chapter 37 up quicker
Chapter 36
Morgan frowned staring at the file again. The more he read through it the deeper his frown got. This isn't possible. I mean there's no fucking way.
"You alright there, Morgan?" Prentiss asked.
Morgan ignored her and tapped Reid, "We need to talk. Now."
Reid gulped. He was afraid of what Morgan wanted to talk about. He stood up and carefully followed behind Morgan who was heading toward Garcia's office. He knocked and Garcia opened the door smiling. Her smile turned into a frown when she saw Reid looking like a kicked puppy behind Morgan.
"Can we borrow your office for a minute?" Morgan asked.
"Of course, and Morgan, be nice. And no funny business. I don't need my office smelling of sex," Garcia said before bouncing off to bother Prentiss.
Morgan shut the door and Reid took a seat in Garcia's chair. Morgan grabbed the other chair and sat across his lover and placed a hand on each of Spencer's knees. Spencer looked fearful.
"I'm sorry," he said.
Morgan chuckled, "Sorry for what, baby?"
"Sorry I upset you by being horny all the time and my mood swings and-" Spencer was cut short by Morgan kissing him.
"Baby, that's fine. That's not something you can help and that's not what I wanna talk to you about."
"Oh."
Morgan chuckled, "Baby, do you remember last night me asking Garcia to find all she can about Richard Drolls?"
"Yeah? What about it?"
"Well, Garcia found some very interesting info on him. Besides the fact that he's not really an ADA and that he has a criminal record. He's Frank's father, baby."
Reid's eyes went wide, "No! No!"
"Baby, calm down. Reid, look at me."
Reid put his hands down on his slightly showing belly and lifted his head to look at Derek.
"Spencer, how come you didn't tell me that Frank's father was part of the torture you endured when you were younger? And don't tell me that you forgot because you have an eidetic memory, you can't forget," Morgan said a little harsher than he intended.
Reid bit his lip and put his head down to hide his unshed tears. Morgan sighed and tilted Reid's head up.
"Baby, I'm not angry, I just wanna know why you never told me."
Reid shrugged, "I don't know. It honestly didn't cross my mind to tell you, m'sorry."
Morgan frowned, "And you didn't recognize Drolls?"
Reid shook his head, "No."
Morgan sighed and tilted Reid's head up, "Baby, what did he do to you?"
Reid bit his lip as it trembled, "Derek."
"Did he rape you too?"
Reid shook his head but he couldn't stop trembling. Morgan frowned.
"Baby."
Reid took a deep breath, "Do you…do you r-remember the first night we made love?"
Morgan nodded. That wasn't something he could easily forget. Reid was so scared that night.
"Yeah, babe, what about it?"
"Remember the faded marks you saw on my legs and back?"
Morgan frowned trying to remember, "Yeah. You told me that had happened from when you were tied to the fence."
Tears rolled down Reid's face, "I lied and I'm sorry."
"Spencer, where did they come from?" Morgan asked trying to keep his voice steady.
"Drolls. He would beat me while Frank raped me."
Morgan made a choked sound. He looked at Reid for a long time and didn't say a word. Reid put his head down ashamed that he had lied to his boyfriend.
"M'sorry. I-I just didn't want you to find out."
Morgan sighed. He knew they didn't have a whole lot of time left to discuss this. They already spent enough time in Garcia's office as it is. He leaned over and kissed Reid.
"We'll talk later okay?"
Reid nodded and Morgan kissed him again.
"Baby, I'm not mad."
Reid nodded again and stood up. As he stood up he felt a flutter. He gasped and put a hand on his belly.
Morgan frowned, "What's wrong?"
Reid smiled, "Nothing. I just…felt him kick."
Morgan's eyes went wide, "Really? I thought Selena said that he wouldn't start kicking until next month."
Reid shrugged and smiled, "Maybe he's starting early. Wants to make sure we know he's there. I wish you'd be able to feel him, but I know that you probably won't be able to feel him for a couple of months."
Morgan grinned and wrapped an arm around Reid's shoulders as they exited Garcia's office, "That's okay, baby. As long as you can feel him."
They made their way over to their desks and Garcia grinned.
"Someone's extremely happy."
Reid grinned, "I just felt our baby boy kick."
Prentiss and Garcia squealed. Garcia went to go touch Reid and Morgan gave her a look.
"Baby girl," he warned.
Garcia giggled, "Oops. Sorry."
Reid smiled softly, "it's okay, but you won't be able to feel anything for a couple of months."
"Aww," Garcia frowned. She kissed his cheek and then headed back to her office.
Morgan led Reid back to his seat and the two of them started working on files. Hotch walked out of his office.
"Reid, may I speak with you for minute?"
Reid slowly stood from his chair and followed Hotch back into his office and sat down.
"Is something wrong, Hotch?" Reid frowned. Hotch shook his head.
"Not at all, Reid, I just wanted to check up on you and see how you're doing."
Reid nodded, "I'm fine."
"Are you up to traveling to Michigan?"
"How come?"
"I have a custodial that needs to be done and I figured you'd like to do it."
Reid frowned, "Don't you usually send Morgan and Rossi?"
"Yes, but I thought maybe this time you and I can do this one."
"Uh, I'm not so sure."
"Reid, I know you haven't been far away from home, but I think you'll do fine."
Reid sighed. He knew he should try but he wasn't sure he was ready to try custodials just yet. "Who are we interviewing?"
Hotch handed him a file, "Ervin Michaels."
Reid raised an eyebrow, "The one who had brutally raped and sliced up ten victims before we finally caught him last year?"
Hotch nodded, "The very same."
Reid shook his head, "No."
"Reid…"
"No! You don't understand. Do you not realize how hard a rape case is for me? You want me to do a custodial? No, Hotch, find someone else because I won't do it."
Reid stood up and walked out of the office. He headed back to his desk and picked up the file he was working on when he was interrupted. Prentiss raised an eyebrow to Morgan who shrugged. He turned to Reid and touched his shoulder. Reid flinched. Morgan frowned.
"Reid, what happened?"
Reid shook his head, "Nothing. Just Hotch being an ass."
Morgan raised his eyebrows. He never really heard Reid call anyone an ass especially not their boss. Technically Reid didn't really swear unless it was during sex or he was really annoyed. Morgan looked up as Hotch walked out of his office.
"Reid…"
"I said, no, Hotch! Why can't you just accept it and find someone else? Or what, it's Reid so you automatically assumed he'll say yes because Reid never says no to people? Or is it just because I'm the genius of the team?"
Hotch walked down the stairs and shook his head, "Reid, that's not the case."
Reid snorted, "Right. Everyone turns to Reid for help. Prentiss and Morgan are always slipping files in my basket not even caring to ask me, just assuming I'll do it. They don't even care how it makes me feel. I am not doing it, so you all can just go fuck yourselves."
Reid stalked off toward the break room. Everyone stood there with their mouths open. Morgan sighed and shook his head as he stood.
"Hotch, he didn't mean that. His mood swings have been really bad lately. I'll talk to him."
Morgan went into the break room and shut the door, "Reid, what the hell was that? Are you trying to get your ass fired?"
Reid ignored him and continued to pour his coffee. Morgan sighed and walked over to him and spun him around.
"Reid, I'm talking to you, what's your problem?"
Reid had tears in his eyes, "Derek, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say those things."
Morgan's anger dissipated a bit, "Baby, I know, but what does Hotch want you to do that got you so upset?" he asked thumbing away his boyfriend's tears.
"He wanted me to go with him on a custodial in Michigan."
"Baby, what's so wrong with that?"
"The custodial is for Ervin Michaels."
"Oh."
"I told him no, and he kept prodding. Derek, I don't wanna do it."
Morgan sighed, "Baby, you do know that he can't hurt you, right? And besides Hotch would be there with you?"
Reid bit his lip, "You think I should?"
Morgan nodded, "I think you should try. Besides, you won't be there no longer than a day."
"But you won't be there."
"I know, baby, but I believe you'll be fine."
Reid bit his lip again before nodding, "Okay. I'll go."
Morgan sighed and kissed Reid, "Good."
Reid and Morgan walked out of the break room and Reid had his head down as he approached the team. Morgan chuckled and nudged him gently.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at any one of you, especially you Hotch."
Hotch gave Reid a small smile, "It's okay, I understand your hormones are out of sync sometimes. Haley went through the same thing."
Reid nodded, "I'll go and do the custodial with you."
"Good."
