So sorry about the long delay and how short it is. I didn't forget about this one I promise.

Since Morgan, Hotch, and Jack were going to be staying over Reid needed to make some room for them. He had a small spare room that he usually saved for Henry and figured Jack could stay there. His problem now was finding a place for both Hotch and Morgan. He only had one couch and his bed.

Reid sighed as he searched through his hall closet looking for the blow up mattress he knew he had somewhere. Nia studied the closet before looking up at Reid curious.

"It should be here somewhere…" Reid mumbled rummaging through the boxes.

Nia looked from him to the closet and then back at him again.

There was a small commotion and Jack and Hotch returned from their bathroom tripe. Jack saw Nia and took off running. Seeing her new friend run toward the living room, Nia took off after him.

Hotch came up behind Reid.

"Reid… what are you doing?"

Reid hit his head on one of the shelves in surprise.

"Ow…"

He said rubbing the back of his head.

"I am looking for my blowup mattress. Morgan called and the rain is so bad he can't get home so he is staying here tonight too. I almost feel like I am running a hotel."

Reid remarked diving back into his closet.

Hotch shook his head chuckling.

There was a knock at the door.

"Hotch can you get that?"

Reid asked still buried deep in the closet.

Hotch walked to the living room and saw Jack and Nia chasing each other around the couch. At this rate, Jack would go to bed early. Hotch looked through the peep hole.

Morgan was standing there waiting patiently. Hotch unlocked the door and opened it.

"Oh hey Hotch. What you doing here?"

Morgan asked surprised.

"I was here earlier helping Reid get Nia settled when the weather decided to let loose."

Hotch said stepping back so Morgan could come in. Morgan nodded in understanding. He dropped his bag near the couch and watched amused at Nia and Jack's game.

"Uncle Derek!"

Jack said happily racing to him. Morgan dropped to a knee so he could hug the small bundle of joy.

"Hey Jack."

Nia walked up to them a little. Morgan let go of Jack and held out a hand to Nia. She sniffed him warily.

"Do you know Nia Uncle Derek?"

Jack asked when Nia let Morgan touch her nose before trotting off.

"Yes I do buddy."

Morgan said walking over to the couch and falling into it. Jack came scampering after him and crawled up with him. Hotch sat on the other end.

"Can we watch a movie Uncle Pencer?!"

Jack asked excited when he caught a glimpse of him coming up from the hallway. Reid smiled.

"Sure just pick what one you want or you can see if Uncle Morgan or your dad could find one on the TV right now."

Reid said depositing a few blankets before heading back to the hallway closet.

Jack picked out 'Flushed Away' and Morgan got the movie going. Jack moved into his dad's lap and settled in. Nia came back from who knows where and jumped up so she was between the two men on the couch.

Morgan and Hotch looked at each other in surprise. Nia was progressing faster than they thought. Jack held out his hand to her and she licked it. Jack giggled before turning his attention to the movie. Hotch watched Nia carefully and saw that Nia appeared to be watching the movie with Jack but he couldn't be sure.

Reid didn't appear till the last 15 minutes of the movie. He watched from the table and got up only when the credits started to roll.

"Hey will one of you two help me with Nia's night time bandages?"

Reid asked gathering the supplies and heading to his room.

"I got it,"

Morgan said before Hotch could finish processing what Reid had said.

"Come on Nia."

Morgan said patting his thigh. Nia sighed before jumping down and following Morgan. Hotch helped Jack pick another movie while they helped Nia.

Morgan found Reid in his room with the supplies spread across his bed. Nia jumped on the bed and went straight to Reid. She got in his lap and licked his face.

"Nia… Nia… stop…"

Reid said laughing. Morgan smiled sitting on the edge of the bed. Nia finally let up.

"Okay you, let's get this over with."

Morgan said reaching for her. Nia stopped what she was doing and let Morgan pick her up and set her on the bed.

"Wait Morgan."

Reid said grabbing Morgan's wrist as he reached to have Nia lay on her side. Morgan gave Reid a questioning look but let him pull Morgan's hand away.

"Nia can you lay on your side for us?" Reid asked.

Nia nodded her head up and down and laid on her uninjured side. Morgan was careful as he removed the current bandage as Reid prepared the new one. Once he got the bandage off, he looked at the wound. It looked really good for only a few days old. Now that he could really look at it, it was looking more like a few weeks old.

"Reid look at this."

Morgan said. Reid looked up from putting some antibiotics on the new bandage. Reid looked at the wound and saw what Morgan was talking about.

"Interesting…"

Reid said studying the wound. Nia lifted her head up and looked at both of them curiously. Reid quickly finished the new bandage and handed it to Morgan to put on. Morgan put it on and gave Nia a gently pat when he was done. She jumped up and looked at Morgan for a second before she bumped her head against his hip in thanks. Morgan gave her another and pat as she jumped down and went back to the living room.

They watched two more movies before they had dinner. Jack was able to stay awake for one more movie before he crashed. Hotch put him to bed and returned to the living room quietly.

Morgan was sitting on one end of the couch and Hotch sat on the other. Reid collapsed in between them with Nia jumping in his lap.

They didn't last long themselves. Morgan was out like a light quiet quickly. Hotch hadn't realized he had fallen asleep himself until he was woke up by Nia liking his cheek. He rubbed his face and realized Reid was also asleep but was leaning on him.

Hotch carefully maneuvered himself so he could stand up without waking up Reid or Morgan. Reid was really out of it and it wouldn't be fair to leave him on the couch. Hotch carefully picked Reid up and carried him to his bed. Nia was on his heels.

When they were halfway, Nia ran ahead of him. Hotch shook his head but kept his pace. When he got in the room he saw that Nia had managed to pull the covers down. Hotch thanked her and tucked Reid in.

He was pulling away when something bumped into the back of his knees, causing him to fall on the bed. Hotch's quick reflexes allowed him to move so he wouldn't fall on Spencer. He stayed still for a minute trying to process what happened.

He didn't think about it long when Reid scooted closer and snuggled up to Hotch. He froze. What did he do now?

Nia jumped up and snuggled herself in the tiny space that Reid left at both their hips. Nia sighed and was asleep quickly. Hotch debated on what he should do but before he came to a decision, he fell asleep.
