On the journey to the hospital Reid phoned Garcia asking to get clothes sizes 2 for JJ, 5-6 for Emily and size 7 for Morgan. As well as other items like toys, diapers, and anything else she can think of they might need for the children.
They have been at the hospital for about 4 hours, enough time for Garcia to raid every store she laid her eyes on , and arrive at the hospital.
The team now sat in the doctor's office waiting for him to enter. Hotch sat in one of the chairs with JJ siting in his lap dressed in a cute yellow dress. She decided his tie was a better toy then the doll. Garcia sat next to him nervous…scared of what the doctor will say. Both Reid and Rossi stayed standing. In the middle of the floor sat a Morgan dressed in a green Henley and grey jeans and Emily dressed in a black t-shirt and black skinny jeans coloring.
All four adults turn towards the door once the doctor walks in holding three files under his arm.
"Evening, I am doctor Fehr just call me Carlos, now let's begin with the obvious" Carlos stated while sitting behind his desk. Looking at the different expressions in each agent, some worry, scared, and some…guilty? Shaking the thought out he began.
"So as you can see Jennifer is 3 and both Morgan and Emily are 7, although Emily is 7 she has the physics of a 5 year old." Carlos paused to look over some papers. The team notices he looked rather concerned.
"They are healthy but from what I gathered by reading their childhood records they each have had either medical or mental issues." He paused. He took a breather before speaking again.
"I am only sharing this with you all because I am almost certain that in a couple of days they will be reformed back into their child selves, which means that all of their fears, issues, and traumas they had will come back, but in the mean time for these couple of days I highly recommend you allow them to make decisions for themselves, they are still adults."
Doctor Fehr stopped, allowing the agents to take in what he had just told them.
"Any questions so far?"
The team looked at each other then towards the de-aged agents. JJ had fallen asleep holding onto Hotch's tie. No even relishing it he pulled her closer to him. Both Morgan and Emily had left the coloring to go play on their phones, completely oblivious to their surroundings. Turning back to the doctor Hotch took the lead.
"No, please carry on" Hotch looked down at JJ then to Morgan and Emily before asking " If you can please tell us what kind of issues they will be having and what we need to be prepared for."
"Of course" Carlos pulled out a file looking down at JJ smiling. "I'll start with Jennifer, she has asthma. Now this can be handled easily with the right care and medication. I will give you two inhalers one blue one brown." He lifted up the blue inhaler. "This one is the reliever; only use it when she starts to get any symptoms which consist of wheezing, coughing, breathless, and/or tightness in her chest." He then picks up the brown inhaler it's bigger then the blue one. "This is a preventer. It is larger than the blue one. For this one I want you to give her one puff in the morning and one at night, this will help with the symptoms I mention earlier. I will also give you a mask to help deliver the medication. I know how difficult it can be to give the inhaler. Especially a toddler." He said finishing with a smile.
"When putting the mask on it will cover her mouth and nose, after you have released the medication, count to ten before removing it, also make sure you wipe her face and any equipment used." He looked over the team; once he was sure they had no questions he moved on to the next child.
Doctor Fehr grabbed another file; he looked over to Derek with a sad look in his eyes, with a sigh he continued.
"Derek's file says he was...sexually abused from the ages of 6 through ten." "Derek being 7 now his body isn't as damaged as it was at the age of ten." He paused to take a deep breathe. "We have tested him for STI's and checked for any tears, he came back cleared." "BUT" He looks at all of them before continuing.
"His mental health wasn't good because of the trauma he suffered with depression and anger issues, you will also notice he may be jumpy around certain type of people...men." Carlos paused allowing them to suck it all in.
"What else?" this time Garcia asked hating that her chocolate Adonis had to go through all that again.
Doc gives her a sad smile "He will lash out, when he does just try and calm him down, I will schedule him for counselling sessions once a week until they are back to normal." He looks through the file again before speaking. "Derek also had learning difficulties with writing and reading, so don't pressure him, just help him when he needs it." He grabs the last file while asking "Any questions or should I continue?"
"No questions, I take it Emily is left." Hotch replies while adjusting a sleeping JJ so her head is lying in the crook of his neck.
"Yes, Emily." Doc sigh "Emily had abandonment issues, her file says she was seeing a counsellor up until the age of 14…"
"Why she stop?" Rossi asked while looking down at Emily.
"She rebelled….I'll make sure to schedule her once a week as well." He looked at the file again. "Along with her abandonment issues she also had anger issues, depression…and self-harm." He looked up to see concern and worry in the agents eyes. "We see this a lot in children her age, most will hurt themselves to receive the attention they want, for example jumping off a high tree just to hurt themselves, provoking a animal to attack them, etc." *paused* "It is stuff like this you need to look out for." He sighs "Oh she was also lactose intolerant, so make sure you watch what you give...and no dairy."
Doctor Fehr then closes the file and leans back in his chair. "That is all the information I have on them, I have quite a few of leaflets on everything you will possibly be dealing with all three of them." He says smiling.
He then hands Reid a packet, upon seeing the confused look on his face he explains. "It explains what Jennifer's medication is used for and how to use them, her prescription are in their as well, just have to go pick them up,"
He then turns to Hotch "May I suggest something?"
"Of course"
"Call their parents; ask them what their child was like when they were this age, it might help along the way."
"Thank you doctor, I will be sure to call them." Hotch said standing up with JJ in his arms, still holding onto the tie. "We best be going." Hotch shakes the doctors hand "Thank you again."
"Any time and please if you have any questions don't hesitant to give me a call." He finished with a smile.
They all nodded and thanked him again. One by one leaving the office. Hotch carrying a still asleep JJ, Rossi walking beside Morgan, Garcia holding Emily's hand and Reid following with the papers and prescription.
