"Hey, Pretty Boy since when did you have so much stuff?" Morgan groaned as he heaved another heavy box into the trailer. All of them had been lifting and heaving the filled boxes for a couple of hours and had made two runs over to the new house, which was massive, rooms for each of them and two guests rooms to spare. Reid seriously was taking care of these people that he had only known for a couple of days but he had also set up a room for Damian. Morgan had told Reid about Damian and Reid had then said that when Damian woke up, he would stay at his place, Reid knew Damian was staying at an old motel and he had offered many times for Damian to stay at his place but Damian had always said there would be no space and now Reid thought he couldn't say that anymore. There was three bathrooms in the house, considering it was a two-story house and the kitchen was a nice size along with the dining room. Mason and Lucas had instantly settled into the lounge room, turning the TV on. They had been all too excited about it but they hadn't seen the television in 9 years. Ethan on the other hand was gazing over the assortment of books in Reid's collection and everyone could guess what Delilah was doing.

"Since always Morgan," Reid replied placing one of the last boxes in the trailer. Will walked over to them, sweaty and exhausted.

"Well, I'll take this load over and then we are done," Will said in pure relief.

"And we can have a little celebration, a house warming," JJ smiled, thinking they all just needed to relax and forget about everything that has happened and just focus on the happiness for a while.

"I don't know," Reid said, he had hoped to spend the evening alone, well not really alone considering how many people were staying with him but he didn't really want the house packed. He sort of just wanted to settle down in the house before having people in it or even have a house warming.

"Aww, we know what that means," Morgan teased, JJ and Will laughed in response leaving Reid mildly blushing.

"That's not what I meant," Reid said in his defense but knowing too well that he was actually thinking of that.

"Yeah, sure," JJ said sarcastically giving Reid a face before hoping in the car with Will and driving off.

"Are you sure you don't want anyone over? We could spend the night, make sure everything's okay," Morgan's face turned into the concerned friend that Reid was trying to avoid.

"Morgan, I have a house full of werewolves with me who have been werewolves for a long time, I think I'll be fine," Reid calmed him, looking at Morgan he could see that he was still unsure about it.

"Reid these are the same people who were associated with that bastard, I just don't know if them moving in with you was the best idea," Morgan expressed his concerned for the first time since this decision but what Morgan had just said made Reid feel angry, like it had just hit a painful nerve deep within him. Reid didn't know why but he instantly stood up straighter, challenging Morgan's position. Morgan backed away slowly, Reid may be a puny guy, and not exactly an alpha male but right now Morgan could feel the authority emit from Reid and he knew that wasn't something he should mess with, especially after seeing what Reid had done to that bastard, "Hey, Reid, I meant nothing by that, you know I'm just worried about you is all."

"Morgan, I was with them and I was just like them, so if you are going to blame them, then you might as well share that blame on me as well because if circumstances were different and the alpha was still here I would have turned out just like them and I would have down the exact same thing, so don't, don't say those things because I'm one of them and we're pack," Reid looked at Morgan, staring continuously at Morgan through the whole thing.

"Did you just say pack?" Morgan questioned, when Reid heard that word he looked confused, realizing that he had said it.

"I guess I did," Reid mumbled under his breathe. Looking at Morgan before turning to the car, "Come on we have to go."

The boxes were all placed in the hallway as the furniture was placed into each room. Rossi and Emily were in the kitchen, as Rossi was preparing one of his famous dishes, despite Reid's protests, they had all decided to stay for a while. Will and JJ had called in their babysitter to watch over Henry and they went over to grab some food as Reid hadn't exactly stocked his fridge with a variety of food but the team weren't all that surprised when there was at least a three years supply of coffee, Rossi was the one who gave Reid the lecture of importance of always keeping the right ingredients in his cupboard, making the others laugh, even Delilah and the triplets were sharing a few laughs with the team. Garcia was especially giddy around the triplets, giving JJ and Emily full details of how much she wanted them, not excluding the images that JJ and Emily were now scarred for life with now. Morgan had made himself fully on protective mode as he chatted up Delilah. Hotch on the other hand was eyeing Reid all night, Emily as well gave Reid unnerved glances every now and then but obviously was at least trying to lead a normal evening, that or she was trying to suppress it but that wasn't Emily's style.

Reid looked at Hotch, feeling the tension that was between them. He knew. That was all that was repeating in Reid's mind and the same for Emily. They both knew. Hotch was never the one to avoid anything and right now he could feel it. Reid shook his head. Now or never. Reid walked up to Emily.

"Hey, Emily can we talk?" Reid said, trying not to sound like anything was going on but he was never really good at that.

"Yeah sure, Reid," Emily got up and followed as Reid went to Hotch and asked the same thing. Nodding, they all walked into the bathroom closing the door behind them.

"This is about what happened in the warehouse?" Emily asked, knowing already exactly what this was about.

"Yeah, guys I know what you saw must have been a shock…" Hotch raised his hand to Reid, telling him to stop.

"Reid, you lifted a pipe from the ground without even touching it, I think we are in a little more than shock, what happened to you?" Hotch asked, Emily nodded in agreement.

Reid sighed, "It started with the case back in Ohio, when I was attacked," Reid took a pause, preparing himself for what he was going to say, "I was bitten and something changed in me, believe me this was hard, this went against everything I have believed in and it has turned my world upside down ever since and it was the reason I got kidnapped again," Reid rambled before Emily stepped in.

"Reid, what are you saying?" Emily went straight to the point. Hotch was just thinking the same thing.

"I'm… I'm a werewolf," Reid got out. Reid stared at Hotch and Emily's blank faces, waiting and hoping that one of them would talk again and soon.

"Reid," Hotch tested, making Reid feel like he was insane, "Are you alright?"

"I'm telling you the truth, you know what you saw and you want to see it again," Reid said, extending his arm out and lifting one of the toothbrushes. Hotch and Emily gasped, as if seeing it for the first time before slowly swallowing and turning to Reid.

"So when… how… Reid, are you alright?" Reid glared at Emily, "Not in that way, I mean how are you even coping with this?"

"At first, I wasn't, Damian was the person who was helping me, he knew and now I owe it to him just like the others out there, I need them as much as they need me," Reid explained to them.

"Reid, you could have told us that," Hotch said, giving Reid a concerned look that he was sick of seeing over and over again.

"With the way you just reacted? I don't think I could've but now you know and now I think the rest of the team deserves to know but not right now, I think everyone just needs to have a night where there's nothing to worry about," Reid expressed and Hotch and Emily couldn't agree more.

"You're right," Emily nodded, "Are you coming back to work?"

"If that's alright with you, I just need to go back there," Reid said to Hotch. If he went to work at least then he would be able to put his mind on something else at the moment other then everything else in his life.

"Of course but I think you need to contact their relatives, they're not missing anymore," Hotch told Reid and Reid sighed.

"I know," Reid closed his eyes. Will their relatives even care? They hadn't been with them for years and Reid felt like they were his responsibilities and that he was now supposed to protect. He had to make sure they were okay.
