Sorry for the mistake at the end I can't correct it, its suppose to be team not tea. Anyway I hope you enjoy:)

chapter 2: explaining

Stella's POV

"Sssh, sssh. Calm down stel and tell me what happened. What do you mean she's gone?" Dad asked me soothingly. He'd somehow managed to get me to sit down on JJ's sofa and was rubbing tiny circles on my back. I never cry, I know you may not belief me but I don't. Not once had any of my friends seen me cry, yet now I was bawling my eyes out to my dad. It's not that I'm a heartless robot I do care when bad or sad things happen, it's just crying isn't usually the way I go about things. But now was definitely an exception. Taking deep breaths I decided to tell dad everything what happened, from the beginning.

"I-I uh I was in bed four nights ago, I um was going to say goodnight to mum, when I heard her making these noises. I ran in to see if she was okay but she went really pale and passed out. I called an ambulance and tried to do CPR, mum taught me how to do it in emergencies, but it didn't, it didn't work." I sniffed. "I- um rode in to the hospital with her but they said it was to late. She died straight away. They said she had a heart attack and it was so violent it just um killed her straight away. A-after that I stayed at my friends house, until yesterday. We got a call from CPS, they wanted to put me in a um foster home, until they found you. I didn't want to go dad, I couldn't so I came and found you." I lost it completely tears flowed down my face. Reliving what happened was so painful and everything was so vivid in my head.

"Stella you did the best you could, I'm so proud of you. I'll go make a few calls with child protection services okay. Just stay here, I'll be back soon." Dad said with a sad smile, he gave me a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before he left the room. I could tell that the news I just gave him hurt him a lot. My mother was the love of his life and even though they didn't live together they still loved each other. Whenever he'd visit her eyes would light up and they constantly told each other that they loved each other. Getting up I decided that I had to sort myself out, the more I moped about the more I thought about mum. I headed my way out to the bullpen with my head down so no one could see the state of my face. The team were gathered in the conference room. Dad was probably telling them about why I was here.

"You okay?" Came a gentle voice from behind me. I didn't bother to look round, I knew it was Henry.

"Wheres the toilet?" I asked without facing him, I wasn't going to let him see me in this state.

"Oh, you go through the glass doors, then turn left, then it's down the hallway on the right." Henry said kindly.

"Thanks." I said quickly before I bolted out of the door. I manged to find my way to the toilets. Relief ran through me when I saw that I was the only one there. I looked at my appearance in the mirror. I was a mess. My long wavy hair was tangled, from the sleepless night I got on the long plane journey over here. My green eyes were puffy and red and I had purple bags evolving under them. Turning on the tap I washed my face thoroughly. I looked up again, it was a slight improvement. My eyes weren't as red or puffy and you couldn't really tell that I'd been crying. I looked at my reflection closely in the mirror, I had my mums dark brown hair but my dads curls. It was the same with my eyes, I had my mums browny green color but my dads big eyes. The rest of me was again a mix, I was tall like my dad but more filled out like my mum. I had my dads cheek bones but my mums lips. The more I thought of this the more I thought of my mum and it made my eyes sting. I quickly walked out the toilet and headed to the ballpen. Henry was swinging on someone's chair and the team seemed to still be in the conference room.

"I am so boreddd." Henry moaned still spinning. I found my dads desk and joined him in spinning. It was quite relaxing actually. I looked at my dads desk, Henry was right he did have a whole gallery of photos of me, some really old and some alot more recent. There was also some of my mum. Not wanting to loose it again I decided to carry on spinning.

"Aren't you suppose to be at school?" I said, trying to get my mind off things.

"I may of got sent home." Henry replied casually.

"May I ask why?" I said slightly intrigued, he looked as innocent as a puppy dog.

"I may of got into a fight." Henry said still spinning.

"What! You? What happened did someone steal your gel pens." I joked, even though I barely knew him Henry just didn't seem the kind of person to get into fights.

"No they didn't. But if they ever stole my gel pens they'd be sorry." Henry joked, causing me to laugh, it must of been the first time I laughed in ages."Theres this bully at school who feels like he can control anyone. There's this other guy at school called Alan and well Alan's parents aren't exactly there for him, he's basically brought himself up. Anyway, recently his parents have been neglecting him more than ever and he's basically supporting himself. He works like three jobs yet he still can't afford new clothes. So, this bully Paul, thought it would be funny to make fun of the fact that Alan has been wearing the same clothes for a week, he thought it would be extra funny if he stripped him of his clothes in front of half the school. This all happened at break on the field and people were on the look out for teachers. I, however didn't find it funny and let's just say Paul won't be bothering Alan again." Henry said a tone of proudness in his voice.

"Well aren't you just the little superhero of the day." I said quite amazed.

"Not really, I just hate bullies. Also it's not like I came off great." Henry said, showing me his hand. His knuckles were turning purple and they were extremely swollen.

"May I?" I asked. Henry nodded and let me examine it. He winced a few times when I touched it though. "I think you may of fractured your knuckles, there's not a lot you can do if you have a fractured them but you need to bandage it up for support and to prevent it from further damage." I said naturally.

"Wow!" Henry said amazed.

"What I'm spencer Reid's daughter." I laughed. "Now I'm sure there's a medical kit somewhere."

"Yeah one sec I'll go grab one." Said Henry before he headed off in the other direction. He was back soon with a little green first aid bag in his hand. As soon as he set it down I got out the ice pack and gave it to him.

"Ice it for a few minutes before I put the bandage on. I'm surprised that your school didn't give you any." I told him.

"Thank you." Henry said smiling."I kind of just wanted to leave school as soon as possible."

"What's up with schools round here. At my old school your parents had to pick you up of you got sent home." I said, I may of been sent home on a few occasions, apparently teachers don't appreciate it when you constantly correct them.

"Yeah about that, promise you won't tell my mum." Henry said quietly. I nodded, wanting to hear this. "Well the principle wanted to ring my mum, but I told him she was on a case so she wouldn't be able to pick me up. He then offered to ring my dad but I said that he was home so he should try the home phone, because I knew I could just delete the voicemail. When no one picked up I asked if I could go to the bathroom to clean up my hand, when really I just rang the school pretending to be my dad. I can do his accent pretty well. The principle totally bought it and sent me home. I quickly deleted the message and then headed over here." Henry smiled.

"Wow I have to say that's one dum principle. You can take the ice off now." I said looking at his hand. I got out the bandage and began to wrap it around his hand. I ignored his winces as I pulled it tighter. Once I used all the bandage I secured it with medical tape and safety pins.

"It will probably take around 6 weeks to fully heal. Until then do some gentle knuckle exercises, especially near the end of the 6 weeks." I said in my medical mode.

"Thank you . How do you know all this." Henry asked amazed.

"My mum was a doctor." I said quietly . Just then the conference room door opened and dad walked out. His eyes were slightly red and I think he'd been crying. The rest of the team soon followed out behind him.

"Henry I thought I told you to stay quiet." JJ said harshly.

"What, Stella was just fixing my broken hand." Henry protested.

"ohh thanks Stella." JJ said embarrassed.

"why doesn't that surprise me. Now can I have a hug from my favorite goddaughter." Morgan smiled.

"I'm your only goddaughter." I said before giving the entire tea, a hug.
