AN: Hi, guys thank you for waiting. My hayfever got bad and my eyes were swollen shut so that was fun but I can see I can write and I can post :)

I hope you enjoy :)

A new day arose for the agents. All the kids were still asleep by 8 am so Garcia, Rossi, Reid and Hotch decided they would get breakfast and just wait for them to wake in their own time. Who knew, maybe the team would get more work done before they woke up.

"Who knew kids could be so tiring?" Garcia said as she sipped her coffee.

"I know, I thought just having Jack was tiring but now compared to these he is easy," Hotch said.

"Yeah, well when someone gives a lactose intolerant child chocolate they are a lot more tiring," Garcia said matter of factly.

"Sorry, what did she do?" Hotch asked.

"Well, Emily woke up with an upset stomach and cried for a while so she crawled into my bed, which then woke JJ up so she decided to climb in my bed. It seems JJ might be coming down with something because she had a temperature last night," Garcia said as she took a long drink from her coffee.

"Sorry, Garcia," Hotch said as he looked to Reid, still half asleep, and Rossi, who was reading a book and sipping his own coffee.

"You're going to need to keep JJ away from everyone if she's ill, she will spread the germs to everyone and then we will all get ill" Reid said, perking up when he remembered a statistic. "You know that 99 percent of-"

"Woah, woah, woah genius slow down it's 8 am, no facts until at least 11," Garcia interrupted. They all sat and talked about Taylor and what they already knew, they went on for so long they didn't notice that JJ had come into the room. She had her eyes half open, her hair which was neatly in a plait last night was now undone and frizzy, she had snot dripping from her nose and a teddy bear held closely to her. Hotch walked from his place up to the table to pick her up, wiping her nose clean off any snot. She rested her head on his chest after mumbling something to him.

"She's definitely coming down with something, she's burning up," Hotch stated.

"This is going to get so much better," Rossi grumbled sarcastically behind his book.

JJ was laying on the sofa with the TV on Dora the Explorer; she was slowly falling asleep after being given Tylenol. Emily was sat at the end of the sofa with headphones on surfing through the different shows available on Netflix. She was feeling better than she had last night, but now she had a slight runny nose. Derek, who was also coming down with a runny nose, was laying on the floor with toy cars and soldiers spread around him as he bashed them together, playing calmly for once.

"So, Taylor has an accomplice somewhere inside the station and right now we have a few suspects which we need to narrow down. Reid, Rossi, I want you to go and interview them and ask them questions get to know them. Ask about the day Taylor turned the others into children okay? Garcia, I need you to run wider background checks on these people," Hotch said as he put a stack of files in front of her, "We need family, friends, past jobs anything you can find that can connect them to Taylor. I'll be creating profiles off what you give me. I'll link what I can from Garcia's information and help her from here," He finished, standing up to collect his bag.

Rossi and Reid left, expecting not to be back until at least 3 pm. So Garcia and Hotch had 5 hours of work and childcare. They could handle this, they would all just relax and sleep all day. It turns out the day wasn't quite like that. JJ had gotten worse, her temperature rising to 102 degrees. She was being sick, she had the chills and stomach pains, so Hotch had sat beside her rubbing her stomach while he worked, soothing her aching muscles and making her feel batter after a day unable to keep any food down.

Emily and Derek hadn't got as bad, but they had a temperature of 100, a runny nose, a cough and had been sick a few times. Maybe they could fight this better because they were older, who knew but if this got any worse it might warrant a trip to the hospital.

Rossi and Reid walked through the door by 4 pm, looking tired after all the interviews they had just conducted. As they looked at all their colleagues, they saw that the whole team looked exhausted from working and looking after three sick children. Everyone had been given updates through text so they knew to expect three children throwing up everywhere, but to see their colleagues like this stuck them with how ill they actually were.

"So, no better?" Rossi asked.

"No worse," Hotch confirmed.

As the other sat around the table, Hotch turned to see all the kids sprawled out on the sofa beds sleeping. He gently pulled his hand away from JJ's stomach and joined the others up to the table.

"Did you find anything useful?" Hotch asked.

"Well, we've managed to narrow it down to three people. We have Sam Cook, Wilson Harris, and Chris Bird," Reid told them handing them the files.

They each looked through the files, discussing ideas and bouncing them off each other to each arrive at dead ends. It was one of them, but they couldn't figure out whom. They all turned around when they heard someone retching, it was JJ again and this time it had gone all over the sofa.

"Okay that's it, I'm taking them to the hospital. They are ill and this has come on too quick, especially for JJ. Her little body won't be able to handle this," Garcia panicked.

"Garcia, calm down okay? We will take them. If you want to get JJ cleaned up and ready while we sort out the other two we can get their quickly," Hotch told her.

Garcia rushed round and got JJ cleaned and ready within ten minutes and once she had finished she saw everyone ready to go.
