Hey guys this is the second chapter, I've already decided to make some chances to the plot. Firstly there won't be any pairings at all; this fic is going to be focused on the little Reid and not on any Romance. Though Hotch and Rossi will be still be Reid's Dad and Papa.

Though before the chapter I would like to say thank you for everyone who reviewed, I can't believe that I've got 21 I've never got so many for one chapter. I thought that I would get one or two per chapter if I'm lucky. So thank you for all the support so far and I hope that you all continue to enjoy this story.

Sorry it's been a while since I've updated internet troubles, sometimes I really think that technology hates me.

As always I do not own Criminal Minds or any of the characters, I wish I did but I think my fairy Godmother is on strike(not that I could get one as good as Garcia anyway=(.

CHAPTER TWO

Rossi had taken the Unsub outside to the waiting police whilst Hotch and Morgan stayed with Spencer, they didn't want anything else to happen to the now toddler sized genius.

"What happened?" Spencer groggily asked as he slowly began to stir and start to sit up, the last thing that the young genius remembered was walking in the garage as part of the property sweep.

The two men could only continue to stare at the tiny child in shock; they had never expected that anything like this could ever have happened to any of the team, or to anyone for that matter. Even if they had to admit that the child sized Reid was absolutely adorable and all they wanted to do was to scoop him up and give him a massive hug.

"Look at yourself Reid" Morgan replied still slightly in shock. "You're a kid, no more than two at a guess."

"No, I can't be" Reid whimpered in fear and confusion as he looked down at himself like Morgan had suggested, he couldn't believe that this had happened to him. It's impossible, isn't it?

The combination of fear and confusion was too much for the small toddle to handle and he couldn't help but to burst out into frustrated tears.

Hotch didn't even give it a second thought as he quickly rushed over to pick up the sobbing child. At first Reid struggled in the Unit Chief's arms before he gave up and slumped in Hotch's arms where he finally accepted the comfort that he was too afraid to admit that he desperately craved.

Since Gideon had left Spencer Hotch has been like a father to the young genius, or rather like a dad. As William Reid proved it didn't take much to be a father, just some DNA, but only someone special could become a dad.

Spencer never really talked to Hotch about how he felt towards him but somehow Hotch knew, one of the benefits to being a profiler, and he was so proud to have the young genius as a surrogate son. Not that his brains were the only thing he loved about Spencer, despite every single horrible thing that has happened to Spencer throughout his life he was still so kind hearted and has somehow managed to keep an air of innocence.

"Are you feeling ok Spencer?" Hotch asked in concern, he wasn't sure if there was another reason that Spencer was crying over than the fact that he was de-aged and wanted to make sure that he wasn't hurt somewhere else.

"I'm fine, fant you" Reid mumbled, he was so ashamed to be crying, especially since there was no reason for him to be doing so. It looked like he didn't have much control over his emotions which was something that terrified him.

"Do you think that we should take him to a hospital to be checked over?" Rossi asked in concern as he returned to see the young doctor crying in Hotch's arms, Reid saying he was ok didn't really mean anything as he would have probably said the same thing even if he wasn't. There were no signs of any other injuries but it wouldn't hurt to make sure.

"NO!" Morgan yelled in disapproval, scaring Reid and earning himself two glares in the process.

"I have to agree with Morgan" Hotch stated calmly once he had settled Reid down. "Reid is fine, other than the fact that he's a kid, all of his records will point to him being an adult and I don't want to give the doctor's a chance to use him as an experiment. Besides we don't even know exactly how the unsub managed to do this."

"He injected Spencer with something" Morgan stated as he hold up an used needle for the rest of the team to see. The discussion about what happened to Spencer was stopped when JJ and Emily walked into the garage.

"We've found our victims" JJ informed the group, neither of the women really noticed the small child in Hotch's arms or the fact that their youngest team member wasn't there. "They were all locked up in a room upstairs, they are all pretty shaken up but no one appears to be hurt."

"So there wasn't anything strange about any of the victims?" Rossi asked, confused about why the Unsub would had done this to Spencer but not to any of his victims.

"No there wasn't" Prentiss answered. "They've all said that Richards didn't do anything to them, he apparently said that it wasn't ready for them yet. But none of them could tell us what 'it' was."

"Well I think that we do" Morgan stated as he looked towards Spencer who was still in Hotch's arms.

"Why is there a child here?" JJ questioned as she noticed where Morgan was looking. "There hasn't been a missing child reported, has there?"

"I'm not a child" Reid sulked as he looked up at Hotch with the cutest little pout on his face. "Hotch; tell JJ I'm not a child."

"Is that Spencer?" Emily asked in shock as she looked closely at the familiar looking toddler. "How is this even possible?"

"We're not quite sure at the moment" Morgan replied. "All we know is that the unsub injected Reid with something, hopefully we will find out more when we interrogate Richards."

"Are you ok Spence?" JJ asked the toddler in concern. "Did the Unsub hurt you?"

"M'kay" Reid mumbled tiredly as he snuggled closer to Hotch's chest, there was a small part of Spencer that was so ashamed to be snuggled up in Hotch's arms. But the rest of him was happily soaking up all the comfort and warmth that Hotch's embrace was giving him. It was times like this that Spencer wished that his arm father had been more like Hotch or even Rossi.

"What are we going to do then?" Emily questioned, she wasn't sure that taking Reid to the hospital or even back to the police station would be the best idea. It would be a lot easier for everyone if they kept Reid's transformation quiet, at least until they knew what they were dealing with.

"I'm not too sure at the moment" Hotch replied. "But for now I think that it would be best to for you and JJ to take Reid to the hotel, whilst Rossi, Morgan and I can interrogate Richards and hopefully find the cure."

Hotch looked down at the tiny doctor in his arms, he didn't want Spencer to leave his arms but knew that he would be a lot safer with the girls at the hotel. Though that didn't mean that he was happy with it, no matter how much he trusted all of his team.

As the half asleep Reid was passed over to JJ he let out a small whimper, Spencer was horrified by his response but he just couldn't seem to help it. He felt so safe and loved in Hotch's arms and really didn't want to lose those feelings.

As JJ carried Spencer to the SUV she couldn't help but wonder if what had happened would be a good thing, Spencer didn't really have a proper childhood and it looked that he will have a second chance at it. Even it was only going to be for a couple of days.

TBC

I was wondering, since Spencer already has two dads, who should be his mother. At the moment I am leaning more towards Garcia. But I want to know what you think so please vote on who you want his mum to be as well as any prompts you have and the one with the most votes will be his mum.
