A/N So here's the next chapter. Thanks so much for the reviews, it's nice to know people like what I'm doing. Reid on.
"The DNA got a match" Rossi asked, while Reid looked a little confused.
"It was William Reid."
Reid was in shock. His brain understood what Morgan had said, processed the information and had concluded that William Reid was not his biological father, yet he couldn't accept this.
"Reid?" Rossi said standing to come over to the young doctor. "I know not everything makes sense right now-"
"No it makes perfect sense" Reid snapped, "I was molested by a man who wasn't my father. I could have had a normal father, but no somehow I ended up with a deadbeat pedophile father who after making my life hell for six years left me with a schizophrenic mother!" Reid was breathless now. Slowly he sank back down into his chair; he didn't even realize he was standing.
"Oh, baby boy" Morgan rushed to his side, enveloping Reid into a tight hug.
Spencer cried into his neck, mumbling, "I could have….He was supposed to…..why….why me?"
"Shhh, honey. It's ok, it's all going to be ok" Morgan attempted to calm Reid, rubbing his back and clutching his head tightly. "It's all over now. I'm here. Shhh baby boy, I'm here."
Rossi quietly stepped out of the room. 'How can life be so cruel to that kid?' Rossi thought, 'Damn like the kid hasn't been through enough already.' He punched the wall, 'jeez now who am I, Morgan?' Rossi thought to himself.
"I'm sorry, kid" he mumbled, as he sank into a chair.
Morgan and Rossi went with Vegas PD to arrest William, while Reid was back at the station waiting with his mother. He wanted answers.
"Spencer, honey what is this all about?"
"I just need to ask you some questions."
"Don't lie to your mother, Spencer" she scolded, "We know. Now I know there is more than just questions going on here."
Before Reid could answer his mother, William was dragged through the station followed by two Vegas police officers, Morgan and Rossi. Morgan made a beeline to the mother and son sitting at an empty desk, while Rossi hung back pretending to finish paperwork and such.
"William" Mrs. Reid gasped. Turning to her son, "Why is he here? What has he done?"
"Mom, there are some things that I need to tell you, and there are some things that you need to tell me" Reid began. His mother nodded her agreement. Morgan placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Feeling the contact, he continued, "During our investigation into the murder of Reilly Jenkins, we found that murderer was dad. We also found that dad, well h-he…"
"He wasn't your biological father." Mrs. Reid finished her son's sentence. "Yes, that's right." She said assuring herself of the truth. "Oh Spencer honey, I am so sorry…so sorry….so sorry." His mother continued beginning to ramble as she began to remember his horrific childhood, and what his father had done.
"Mom, mom, its ok. I'm ok now." Reid gripped his mother's hand tightly.
"No, I knew it was you. I knew it was you. He was hurting you. I thought it was a dream, a horrible hallucination, he said I was crazy, I am crazy. I am crazy. Oh baby I am so sorry."
"Mom, no. Its ok, I'm ok. You are not crazy, I love you. I love you." Reid desperately tried to console his mother. "It's his fault. Not yours or mine. His. He was wrong." Reid said fiercely with tears flowing freely from his eyes. His mother reached to him and wrapped him in her arms. They sat in the warmth of the embrace for some time.
Morgan watched the scene unfold in front of him. He felt his heart break for Reid's mother. His own mother still felt the guilt over what had happened to him. She didn't say it but Morgan knew. Mrs. Reid had lived with the truth for more than 20 years. Morgan felt the tears behind his eyes grow; he needed to leave, but he couldn't leave Reid alone. Never again will he leave his side.
Just a few hours later, the trio was on a plane back to Virginia. "It's nice Rossi upgraded out tickets to first class." Reid commented.
"Ya but still it's nothing compared to the jet" Morgan asked.
"Only you would find first class lacking." Reid laughed resting his head on Morgan's shoulder. He was just happy to be going home, it had been a rough past couple of days.
"So we heading straight to the hospital?"
"Ya, I can't believe JJ had her baby." Reid admitted, "I mean only 12% of births occur before the established due date, in addition first time mothers tend to deliver late. However it all depends on a number of variables from-" He stopped and looked up at Morgan who was just smiling at him, "What?"
Morgan just laughed, leaned in and gave Reid a small kiss, "I'm just happy to hear you talking like that." Reid blushed and Morgan leaned in kissing him, longer and with more passion. Morgan broke the kiss and whispered in his lover's ear, "Damn you don't even know how sexy your ramblings are. Do you?" Reid responded by grabbing Morgan's head, kissing him hard. The two broke their kiss, remembering they were in public. They resorted to having Morgan's arm wrapped around Reid, with Reid's head lying on Morgan's chest.
"Is there room for one more in here?" Reid calls into JJ's hospital room.
"Spence, hi." JJ said, cradling her new baby in her arms.
Hotch squeezes Reid's shoulder, "Welcome back."
"Thanks." He answers Hotch, then looking at the new baby, "Wow." He extends his hand to Will, "Congratulations."
Will takes his hand and shakes it with earnest, "Thank you."
"How is it that I just went through 15 hours of labor and you look worse than I do? JJ points out and laughs.
"Don't be ridiculous. You look beautiful." Reid assures her.
"Well I could sure use some coffee. Anyone else?" Will pips in, sensing JJ and Reid needed some time alone. The rest of the room heads out, leaving just JJ and Reid.
Will, Hotch, Prentiss and Garcia had filed out of the room and began heading to the cafeteria. Garcia noticed her Chocolate God and rushed over to him.
"Hey hot stuff, what happened out there?"
Morgan sighed, bringing her into tight hug. "Baby girl, I'll tell you all about it after I get some coffee."
"Ok, come on we were just heading to get some." Noticing Morgan looking for Reid, "Don't worry Boy Genius is with JJ and the baby." Morgan nodded and followed her to the rest of his team and Will.
Once they were all sitting in the cafeteria with coffee, Morgan began to tell them what had happened in Vegas.
"Oh my poor baby!" Garcia cried, tears already flowing down her cheeks. Prentiss put her arm around Garcia, rubbing her hand up and down Garcia's arm. Prentiss, who usually maintained her stoic demeanor, shocked Morgan when she shed a few tears. Hotch and Will both had their jaws clenched, visibly angry at William Reid. Morgan shared their sentiment.
"How is he handling it?" Hotch asked referring to Reid.
"Like expected" Morgan began, "he is still in shock I think, I mean he suppressed the memories of what that man did to him for nearly 20 years, and then to have them all swarm at him." Morgan stopped; he took a breath before continuing. "The worst part is he still is thinking about others before himself. He wanted to take down William Reid not for himself but for Reilly. He thought about how to protect his mom from all this, he even thought about me before himself." Morgan had to stop again. He looked at Hotch who gave him a nod to continue, so Morgan did, "He thought because of Carl, that I…" Morgan had to stop again.
Hotch, Garcia and Prentiss all nodded their understanding. Will, though a little confused could only guess Carl was a demon from Morgan's past.
Finally Hotch spoke up, "Morgan, Reid has to deal with it in his own way. You can only be there for him. Reid will always put others before himself; it's just the kind of man he is. You just have to be there for him, and remind him to take of himself too." Morgan nodded, and the group just sat in silence.
Back in the hospital room, JJ looked at Reid. He looked so sad, and hurt.
"You okay?" JJ asks.
"Wow" Reid commented still in awe of baby Henry, then turning to JJ, "Yeah, yeah." Reid assured her he was ok.
"You sure? Because there's something I wanted to ask you, but, it can wait." JJ wasn't sure if Reid was ok, she knew something more had gone on back in Vegas.
"What is it?" Reid asked.
"Will and I were talking and... we want you to be Henry's godfather."
Reid was shocked. How could someone trust him with a child, "I don't - I mean, I don't know..."
JJ extended her son out to Reid, "Here. You wanna hold him? It's okay." She handed over her child, "Watch his head" she warned.
"Hi. Hello Henry." Reid couldn't believe how beautiful his new godson was.
"If anything happens to us, it's up to you and Garcia to make sure this boy gets into Yale." JJ smiled.
"Ooh. Yale. Yale!" Reid couldn't believe how happy he was. "Do you wanna go to Yale, Henry? That was your Godfather's safety school." It felt so right to have this child in his arms, and he vowed to never let anything happen to him. Whispering, Reid assured Henry, "Don't worry; I can get you into Cal Tech with one phone call."
JJ looked at the two; she couldn't help the tears springing into her eyes. This just felt perfect.
A/N The stats for pregancy are made up, so don't use me as a reliable source. So that was a cute ending right? I love JJ, if they ever get rid of her again I'll just cry. Ok so I think I have an idea for one more chapter, if would be along the lines of Reid healing, and wanting to look up his biological father. Anyone want that?
