Reid walked over to the couch with a wet flannel and Penny's sippy cup. He gave it to her and watched her take a drink. He put the cold flannel on her head and saw how much more comfortable it made her feel. She had been surrounded with pillows, teddy bears and her duvet. His little girl wasn't feeling well and he didn't want to leave her. Jacob was covering for him at the workshop. Katrina was out picking up some groceries since they were running low on a few items. The doctor had told them it was just a little bug she had picked up and as long as she stayed hydrated and her temperature didn't go too high, she would get better. He knew it was natural for children to get sick when they were younger to build up their immune systems but he hated seeing her ill. The first night she had gotten a high temperature and had cried for a long time and last night, she had not been able to get to sleep. Her temp kept fluctuating. Her temperature was still a little high but it was coming down.

"How you feeling, Penny?" he asked as he took the sippy cup and put it on the table

"I feel ick," she said before reaching out her arms. "Daddy, hug."

He lifted her up and sat against all the pillows on the couch, he laid her on his chest and put the cover over both of them. She laid on his chest, still able to see the cartoon on the television. He put the flannel to the back of her neck. "Daddy is here. It's okay."

They sat in silence. He stroked his hand through her hair. She had inherited that from him. He found it soothing when someone ran their hand through his hair and so did she. After ten minutes, he realised that she was asleep. He picked up her favourite teddy bear and tucked it under her arms. He used his free hand to get the remote and changed the channel to the news.

He listened and turned it up a little when the team got mentioned. They had captured an unsub who had killed six women by hanging them. He didn't miss life at the BAU. He knew that the team were on their way back to Virginia by now. He was happy being with his daughter and making sure she got better. He turned it over to the Simpsons and began to watch it. It was guilty pleasure for him.

Luna walked in and found Spencer on the couch with Penny sleeping peacefully in his arms. "Is she getting any better?"

He turned to her and nodded. "Her temp is down but she is still feeling a little sick, she's getting better. Did you get everything we need?"

"Yeah," she whispered. She sat down next to him, bringing the duvet over herself and snuggling under his other arm. "I hate it when she ill. I can't stand seeing her feeling so poorly."

"She's a strong little girl. She gets that from her mom," he whispered back. "She'll be running around the house in a few days."

"I know but I just get scared when she is sick. When she was born, there was a moment when she wasn't breathing. She began crying and it turned out it was just the shock of the birth. It was enough time though for me to feel so much fear and pain. For a few seconds, I thought I had lost her."

"You never told me that."

"I didn't want to worry you. It doesn't matter though. She broke through the shock and here she is. She's here with us."

"I'm sorry I wasn't here. That is what hurts a lot sometimes. I wasn't there to see her birth. I feel like I just stepped into her life, like a stranger."

"No," she said gently. "You have always been there for us. You made sure we got taken care of and you came to us when you could. You were there when she took her first steps and when you did come to us, you read to her and put her to bed. Every day, I would show her your picture and tell her how much her daddy missed her and how much he wanted to come home. You have never been a stranger to her. You're her superman daddy."

Reid watched as Penny changed position, he didn't think she realised that she was awake. Her small arms wrapped around his neck and she snuggled back onto his chest. He pulled the cover further up and kissed the top of her head.

Garcia walked through the door later that night. She wanted to see Penny and she had brought some soup.

She found them in the living room. Reid sat under the duvet with Penny sat next to him with a teddy bear in her arms and his arm around her. He paused the movie and smiled at her. "Hey Garcia. Look, Penny. It's aunty Penelope."

Penny gave a small smile as Garcia came and sat next to them on top on the duvet. Garcia stroked some hair behind Penny's ear. "I heard you were sick so I brought you some soup. This is aunt Penelope's special soup. It tastes really good and makes you feel better. Do you think you could have some?"

Penny nodded but didn't speak. Reid brought the cover off them and picked her up from the couch. They made their way to the kitchen where he put her in her chair and took the soup as Garcia passed it to him. He opened it up. "What is this?"

"Tomato rice soup. My mom made it for me when I was sick and I thought it would make Penny feel better."

"Thank you," Reid smiled as he began to heat it up. "Luna is on the phone in the bedroom. She'll be out soon."

He quickly heated the soup up and put it in a small bowl. He tasted it and loved the taste. He let it cool for a moment before he walked over to Penny and sat in front of her. He tended to feed her when it came to soup. He scooped some on the spoon and blew on it.

"Open up for the magic soup," he said. Penny opened her mouth and ate the soup. She smiled at the taste.

"Yummy," she grinned as he fed her another spoon.

"It is yummy," he agreed before looking to Garcia. "I think aunty Penelope is a fairy. Only a fairy could make soup this good."
