Chapter 2

"Gtcha!" Reid laughed grabbing the little boy and smiling. The little blonde toddler shrieked as Spencer picked him up and tickled him. Reid carried the little boy over to a small toddler's table and plopped him down into a seat. He hummed a Bob Dylan song softly as he poured a glass of pre-made chocolate milk into a small sippy cup. He ruffled the boy's hair and gently placed his peanut butter sandwich in front of him.

"Awww. Uncle Spence! I wanted ice cweam!" the toddler pouted. He shoved the peanut butter sandwich away from him and attempted to glare at his favorite uncle. Spencer could only laugh at the failed attempt and was shocked to see how much Henry resembled JJ when wasn't getting what he wanted. He shoved the plate back over to Henry and dropped his voice so the child would know he wasn't going to make a game out of this.

"Henry, eat your dinner and then you can have ice cream. Mommy's rules remember? Besides if you're good I can read you Good Night Moon," Spencer soothed. Henry instantly perked up and ravaged his sandwich. The toddle loved it when uncle Spence read him stories because he would make voices and weird sounds that would make him laugh until his tummy was sore; Spencer however did not share that same sentiment. He found children's books foolish with false promises of fairy tales and happy endings, he didn't even like them when he was a kid. But Henry loved them and Spencer Reid would do anything for his godson. Anything.

Later, after Spencer lost an ill-matched ice cream food fight and had done everything to keep from blowing his brains out after reading that stupid story, Reid sat outside on the back patio of JJ's house. The night air was crisp and very clear and Spencer considered running out to his rusty Volvo to get his telescope. Astronomy never really caught his attention like math and chemistry did but it was still an academic area and he often dabbled in it here or there.

He almost scared himself silly when he looked up to the stars. He swore he saw Hotch's face glaring, not staring, at him from up in the stratosphere. God, he needed a break from this job. But what would he do with all that time off? Talk to women?

I'd probably end up reading about other serial killers or deciding to get another doctorate he thought to his self. A loud, painful shrill came from inside the LaMontagne house. Henry! Reid raced back to the little boy's room and what he came upon turned his blood into ice water. There, completely clad in black, was an intruder. Reid instinctively reached for his gun, horrified when he remembered he had left it at the office by request of JJ. Inwardly Reid began to panic but knew that if he should any signs of fear to this Unsub his godson could be hurt.

Reid glanced at Henry who was being grabbed by the collar of his shirt. He was squirming and soft tears were falling from the child's eyes. Reid swallowed knowing that no matter what he needed to take care of his godson or he would never forgive himself.

"Let the kid go," he demanded, holding his arms up in defeat. He wanted to sound strong but the quivering in his voice betrayed him. The intruder gave him a Chesire cat smile and shook Henry violently.

"Stop!" Spencer screamed. He couldn't take the terrified look the toddler was giving him so he lunged out and knocked the intruder to the ground. He hadn't even noticed the gun the intruder was holding until he saw it skidding across the hard wood floor. Henry raced to the corner of the room screaming bloody murder. Spencer threw a several punches at the intruder's face thanking the lord, if there was one, for Morgan's insistence to spar with him. Reid let out a soft, exhausted sigh before pulling himself off the intruder. He gingerly stepped to Henry who leaped from his safety zone into his Uncle's arms.

"Did he hurt you?" The little boy shook his head rapidly to the negative. Then the little boy's eyes widened in horror and the last thing Dr. Spencer Reid heard was Henry's scream to the intruder to let his favorite Uncle go.

Yes, I know it somewhat out of character for Reid to be a fighter but I didn't want him to be a pussy.
