Hey guys Apple here! It's been years since I've updated, so I am trying to make it up by making this pretty long. I've been quite distracted. I haven't published because I've been busy. Lettuce is not here at the time, so she did not read it. To be honest, I don't know why I haven't published. I haven't done anything. What did you do with your break? I did a crap load of homework and studying. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and sorry for grammar errors!
"Are you ready?" Reid asked as Charlie walked out of her room.
"Yeah." She replied as she walked towards Reid. She was wearing a gray sweater, black jeans, and mint converse.
"Alright," Reid stated as they started to walk to the door.
"How far is the office?" Charlie asked as Reid locked the door.
"Uh..about 10 minutes." Reid answers. He replied as they were exiting the flat.
"How often do you go on cases?" Charlie asked.
"Once or twice a month," Reid answered.
"Who's going to take care of me when you go on cases?"
"A friend of mine."
"A friend?"
"Mmhmm, her name is Tammy. She uh...she lives three doors down from us."
"Is she going to take care of me right now if they don't let you stay?" She asks.
"Unfortunately no, Tammy is out." He replied as they made it to the car.
It was a quiet car ride. They had small talk.
"So am I just going to stay here?" Charlie asked.
"I don't know. You'd probably stay with Garcia." He replied as they went into the lift.
"Okay." She said as the exit the lift and go into the office
"This is where you work?" She asked as they walk around, only to find known there.
"Mmhmm, my guess is that they are already in the conference room." Reid guessed as he put his satchel down on his desk. "Come on." He said as he gestured to the stairs.
"-Parkers is waiting." Hotch was stating as Charlie and Reid walked in. Everyone stopped talking and looked at the door, where they stood. Reid awkwardly waved.
"H-hey sorry," Reid greeted.
"Hey." JJ greeted as she looked at Charlie. Charlie have her a small smile and awkwardly waved back.
"Ummm," Morgan started.
"Oh uh, Charlie, this is Rossi, Emily, Morgan, Hotch, you already know JJ, and Garcia." Reid said as he gestured to the team.
"H-hi." Charlie greeted.
"This is uh-Charlie. My daughter." He explained. There was complete silence.
"You banged up a chick?!" Morgan asked, completely stunned.
"Nonononono!" Reid rejected, getting flustered.
"Oh god no." Charlie said under her breath as she looked away.
"I'm adopted." Charlie explained. There was a small "ohhh" that came out of everyone's mouth (excluding JJ)
"Since when?" Emily asked.
"A few days." Reid replied.
"..."
"Congratulations Reid." Rossi stated as he gave him a smirk.
"Congratulations." Hotch stated. Reid smiled.
"Thank you." He stated.
"Hello Charlie." Garcia greeted as she made her way to the door.
"Hello."
"Hi. Are you Garcia?" Charlie asked.
"Yup. You can call me Penelope sweetheart." Garcia stated as she smiled at her.
"Okay, Penelope." Charlie replied.
"So, how is this going to work?" Morgan asked.
"The case is nearby, so you can go home with Charlie after this." Hotch stated, as he raised his hand to give Reid the file. Reid walked over and picked it up.
"Umm, you guys continue, I'll be in my office with Charlie. Charlie, would you like to come?" She asked.
Charlie looked at Reid.
"I'll pick you up after this case, so we'll be home by dinner, hopefully." Reid states as he gave her a reassuring look.
"Okay." Charlie replied as she looked back at Garcia and gave her a small smile. Garcia smiled back.
"Great, this way to my lair." She stated as she gestured her to get going.
"So what's your full name?" Garcia asked.
"Charlotte Holmiv." She answered.
"How old are you?"
"I'm ten."
"Ten? I remember those years." Garcia commented as she opened her door.
"Meet my unicorn cave. This is where you will be hanging with me." Garcia stated as she turned on every light.
"...it's cute. I so far love your unicorn cave." Charlie commented.
"You can play with my stuff if you'd like, lemme turn on my computers." Garcia stated as she gestured to the pile of random colorful things.
"Okay." Charlie replied as she sat down as picked up a thing. It was a light up caterpillar.
"So...how's our Boy Wonder treating
you so far?" Garcia asked.
"My guess is that Boy Wonder is Spencer, and he's treated me well." Charlie replied.
"That's great." Garcia replied as she set up the computers.
"Yeah."
"So a kid huh?" Morgan commented as they drove to the crime scene.
"Yup."
"Congrats. I know that you'll be a great dad." Morgan stated.
"Thanks. I hope that I will be a pretty good guardian." Reid stated.
"Who's going to take care of her during cases?" Morgan asked.
"A friend."
"A friend?"
"Her name is Tammy. She lives three doors down. She volunteered." Reid answered.
"It's a she? Is Pretty Boy in a relationship?" Morgan teased.
"Yes, it's a she, and no. We are just friends." Reid answered.
"How old is she? Where does she work?" Morgan asked, curious who this Tammy girl is.
"She's 24. She works at a nearby library that her mom owns. She's also going to college."
"Nice."
"Mmhmm."
"So why isn't she taking care of Charlie right now?"
"It was so unexpected. Plus, Tammy is on a date. She told me like two days before so I did not want to bother her." Reid replied.
"How are you even surviving?!" Garcia asked.
"I don't know."
"You know what? After work I am taking you shopping." She replied.
"Spencer already took my shopping." Charlie replied.
"Well for clothes, not tablets." Garcia reasoned. "You need technology to survive. So what do you say? Wanna go?" She asked. Charlie smiled.
"I would love to. Thank you Penelope." Garcia smiled the the Cheshire Cat.
"You are absolutely welcome,"
It was seven when the team came back from the case. With all that time, Garcia and Charlie had some common grounds.
"Hey." Reid greeted as he entered Garcia's lair.
"Why have you been torturing this poor little girl?!" Garcia asked.
"Huh?"
"She hasn't touched a electronic for days." Garcia explained.
"Well-" Reid was about to excuse himself.
"Fear not, Boy Wonder. I can take Charlie shopping after work. We just need your credit card." Garcia cut in.
"...okay." Reid replied.
"You ready to get going Charlie?" Reid asked.
"Mmhmm." Charlie replied as she got up.
"See you Penelope, I had fun." Charlie stated as she walked over to Reid.
"Bye Charlie. I'll see you tomorrow." Garcia stated before she went over and hugged her. Charlie hugged her back.
"Bye Garcia, thank you so much." Reid stated.
"Bye 187, I'll pick Charlie up at around 5:30."
"Sounds great." Reid replied before Charlie gave Garcia a final wave before they left.
"Bye Charlie, nice meeting you." Emily stated as Reid got his satchel and put on his jacket.
"Goodbye, nice meeting you too Emily." Charlie replied. Morgan and Rossi waved, and Charlie waved back.
"I'll see you guys later." Reid stated before they left.
Once they got home, Reid went straight to his room to put away his satchel, files, and coat, then met Charlie in the living room.
"So...what would you like for dinner?" Reid asked as he plopped himself down on the couch.
"Umm, I don't know." Charlie replied. Two seconds later, Reid got a text message.
"Hey Spence! Are you still awake? If so can I come over? -T"
"Tammy is coming over, is that alright?" Reid asked after reading the text.
"Yeah. I would love to meet her." Charlie replied. With that, Reid texted back a yes. A few minutes later, the door opened.
"Why does this always happen to me?" Tammy stated as she walked in. She was tall, pale, and with short ebony hair. She was wearing a black blazer, a white loose blouse, and black skinny jeans with pointy black flats. She had a slight German accent.
"My guess, it went bad?" Reid asked as he looked at her.
"He was a douche." Tammy replied.
"Umm." Charlie said as she looked at Tammy.
"Oh hi! You must be Charlie! It's is a pleasure to meet you!" Tammy replied enthusiastically as she looked at her and smiled.
"My name is Tammy," Tammy said as she walked over and put her hand out. "I'm going to babysit you when Spence is out on a case."
"Nice to meet you." Charlie stated as she smiled back and shook her hand.
"So..what were you two should doing before I barged in?" Tammy asked as she sat down next to Charlie.
"We were discussing what we should eat for dinner." Reid answered.
"And you guys agreed on?..." Tammy asked.
"We don't know."
"What about you order Pizza, and watch a movie or something?" Tammy suggested.
"I think that I'm gonna do that." Reid stated as he went off to get his laptop and order.
"So, how long have you lived with genius?" She asked Charlie.
"A few days." Charlie replied idly.
"Nice. Has he been nice to you? Has he been annoying?" She inquired.
"He's been very nice. And no, he hasn't been annoying." Charlie replied with a small smile.
"Good." Tammy stated as she smirked.
"Hey Tam, there are some Riffles in the cabinet if you want some." Reid stated as he walked back to the living room.
"Thank you! You are a live savor! You are my hero!" Tammy stated as she went to the kitchen.
"I know." Reid stated before he chuckled. Tammy also chuckled.
"So, what do you guys want to watch?" She asked as she opened the chips and sat down.
"Doctor Who?" Reid suggested.
"Yus." Tammy replied.
"Do you like Doctor Who Charlie?" Tammy asked.
"I've seen a few episodes, I don't know how I feel about it." Charlie confessed.
"What Doctor was it?" Tammy asked.
"No idea."
"Well, let us show you the Eleventh Doctor." Tammy stated as she got the controller and put on Netflix.
They watched Doctor Who for two hours before Charlie brushed her teeth and went to bed. For the rest of the time, Tammy and Reid watched Workaholics, then Tammy went home.
