Hey everyone, here is the LAST chapter for you all. I hope you enjoy this chapter. I can't believe this is the last chapter. I've really enjoyed writing this and I hope you like this last chapter. I also hope that you've enjoyed this entire fic even though it has been much darker than usual. I just want to say a big thank you for all your support and I'll have a new fic up tomorrow. I'm going to wait on doing a telekinesis Reid one. I recently had a message asking for a fic where Reid is in an abusive relationship. I'm going to start that next week too. I love writing too much just to only do one fic at a time. Any way, enjoy my angels and thank you so much for reading this and reviewing.
Thank you so much for all the reviews, you're the best and I can't ever stop thanking you. Thank you! x a million
Enjoy and please review
All mistakes are my own
Reid placed the presents in his bag before walking back into the living room and picking Alice up from her small baby rocker. She cooed happily as he brought her against his chest. "Are you ready for Spencer's birthday party? He's going to love the present you got him and they are going to love your outfit. Your mommy picked it out the other day."
He walked over to the pram and placed her inside it. He made sure she was comfortable and warm before putting her pacifier in her mouth. He looked at her and couldn't help the large grin on his face.
"Alice, when you're old enough, I hope you understand the way you got brought into the world. Garcia is your mother and the moment you ask, I'll tell you she is. I'll never lie to you. Your mother gave me the best gift in the world and that was the gift of being a father. You have no idea how much I love you and how happy I am that I was able to have you. There is one thing that I'll never tell you and that is what happened to me. I want to surround you with nothing but good. In a week, hopefully, your grandmother's health will be good enough for us to go and see her. She's not very well but she loves you too. I didn't have a great childhood but that all changed when I met the others, when I met our family. I'm going to make sure you never go through my childhood. I'll never leave you and I'll always love you."
"Uncle Spencer!" Henry called before coming over. He had arrived at the party. "Hey, Uncle Spencer."
"Hey, Henry. I know it's your brother's birthday but I got you a present too. Don't let your mom and dad see it till the end of the day though," Reid smiled before bringing out a small wrapped present. Henry quickly opened the present to find a new video game.
"This is the one that I've wanted," Henry said happily before hugging Reid. "You're the best Uncle ever. Is Alice okay?"
Reid reached in the pram and kneeled on one knee so Henry could see her. "She's fine and that game is also from her. I held up two games and she cooed at that one."
"Thanks, Alice," Henry smiled before kissing the top of her head. "You're the best."
Reid stood back up and put Alice in the pram. "How does it feel to have a little brother turning two?"
"He's sometimes the biggest dummy but he's my little brother. I love my little brother, even if he does throw food at me."
"You were the same, you know. I remember babysitting you with Penelope. You threw yogurt all in my hair."
"Really! I'm sorry, Uncle Spence."
"Don't be," Reid laughed. "I'm sure Alice will do the same to me when she's a little older. I think you better hide that game before your mom and dad see it. Show them after the party."
"Thanks again," Henry smiled. "I'll put it in my room."
Reid watched as Henry walked into the house. He pushed the pram over to the table full of gifts and put little Spencer's gift on there. He walked over to the rest of the group and saw chocolate frosting already around his godson's mouth. JJ noticed him looking.
"Will gave him a cupcake a little early," she laughed gently.
"You're such a messy boy," Garcia giggled as she went about wiping the chocolate from the two-year old's face. Hotch and Rossi were both talking while Blake helped bring the last bits of food out. Jack was at his grandparent's house.
"Re-Re!" Spencer giggled before pointing at Reid. Garcia finished cleaning him up. Reid walked forward and swooped the two-year old into his arms.
"Happy birthday! I can't believe you're two already."
"I, two!" he giggled. "Cake, me want cake."
"Cake is coming soon," JJ said. Alice began to cry in her pram.
"I got it," Morgan said as he walked over and picked Alice up. He held her against his chest and gently moved side to side to calm her. Alice immediately calmed down and began to coo happily as she moved about in Morgan's arms. "There you go."
Reid put Spencer back in his chair and ruffled his hair. Spencer let out a small giggle before pointing to his sippy cup. "JUICE! Juice! Juice!"
Reid picked it up his juice and passed it to him. "There you go."
Will walked out of the kitchen with a cake in his hands. Henry came back into the garden and stood next to his little brother. The cake got put on the table and Will lit the candles.
They call began to sing. "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Spencer. Happy birthday to you!"
Little Spencer took a deep breathe in and blew out the candles.
"Well done!" Blake clapped with everyone. Little Spencer began to laugh and clap his hands happily.
Reid stood in the kitchen, drinking his coffee. He couldn't help but feel like this. Lincoln was dead but the date today held both a good memory and a bad memory. The day that little Spencer was born had been the day that Lincoln had raped him for the last time. The other times were easier to forget but that night was harder.
"STOP! STOP! OH GOD, STOP!"
A shattering sound brought him back to reality. Morgan came in. Reid looked to him and then to the floor to find his coffee out of his hand and broken on the floor. He picked up a towel and quickly began cleaning it. Morgan closed the door. "Reid, what's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong."
"I know that look you had on your face. Did you flashback?"
"I didn't mean to. Today holds both good memories and bad memories."
"What do you mean?"
"You arrested Lincoln the night Spencer was born, remember? That was the last time he ever raped me. It's harder to forget than the other times. I never stopped screaming and I was so scared. That last time, it's burned into my head. I'm fine. I know he's dead and that he can't hurt me any more. It's just sometimes things leak through. It never happens around Alice."
"I'm sorry that today brings that memory back. It's okay though. He can't hurt you."
"I know that. God, I've known that since he died in the chair. Let's get back to the party. The past is the past, I can't change it and I'd rather forget it."
Morgan patted him on the back and helped him clean up the mess. They walked back into the garden to see Alice in Hotch's arms and baby throw up on Rossi's shoulder. "I told them to use a burping cloth," Reid shook his head.
A few days later
Reid made his way to Garcia's apartment with Alice in the pram, he was spending the night with her after they had arranged a movie night. He came to her door and knocked. She opened it and smiled. "Hey, baby boy."
He walked in. "Hey, Garcia. Something smells nice."
"I'm just cooking our dinner," Garcia said before looking inside the pram. "There is my baby girl."
She picked her up and kissed her on the nose. Alice cooed before letting out a small babyish laugh. Reid opened his mouth. "Oh my god! That's her first laugh."
"Really?" Garcia smiled as she held Alice in her arms. "It's a beautiful sound."
Garcia and Reid both looked down at Alice as she slept in the small cot that Garcia had set up for the night. Reid quickly went into his bag and brought out something. He hooked the baby mobile above the cot. He turned on the music. "She loves having the mobile on. She's so beautiful when she sleeps."
"She looks like you, Reid. Her hair is the same colour as yours and she definitely has your nose."
"Her eyes are wonderful," Reid said. "They are identical to yours. Just perfect."
Garcia couldn't help the small smile on her face. "Let's leave her to sleep."
Reid turned on the monitor he had brought over and left with Garcia. They sat in the front of the television and put on the movie. Garcia filled up the wine glasses with soda. They didn't drink with the baby around. They clinked their glasses together. "To drinking soda and to wonderful times," Garcia giggled.
They tapped their glasses together. "To wonderful times," Reid laughed.
They took a sip of their drinks.
"Reid, you've come so far and I'm so proud of everything you've achieved. I'm so glad we got you back," she said leaning against him. "We would have stayed lost without you coming back."
"I can't believe how far I've come. I think that if you and the team had not found me, Lincoln would have killed me. He used to have a temper. Garcia, thank you for everything. You gave me a beautiful little girl and you helped me through some bad times. Everyone did. It's wonderful having my life back but this time, my life is a lot better. I'm stronger, I have a wonderful career and I have a wonderful little girl who I love."
Reid put his arm around Garcia and pulled her close. "You all brought me home."
"Home didn't feel the same without you," Garcia said before she leaned against him. Reid began to watch the movie and felt his body relax and his mind and heart succumb to the pure happiness he felt.
