Undercover Family

I would love to hear your opinions and look to working further on the story.

Chapter Three.

She wakes up and stretches before she notices that there is someone curled up next to her. She opens her eyes and sees a swatch of dark hair next to her. Slowly and gently she slips out of the queen sized bed that she just shared with fellow female agents, Emily and Penelope. She turned and heads to the bathroom, walking past the bed that had the male agents. It appears that they are all still sleeping. Passing by the rolling bed, which had nobody in it, she looks into the crib and notices her boss, Aaron, sucking his thumb, looking like the 15-month- old baby that the illusion device made him to be. She smiles because he reminds her so much of her son, Henry. She sees the doctor come out of the bathroom and walks to the room.

Doctor: "Good morning JJ."

JJ: "Good morning, ma'am."

Doctor: "JJ, from today forward you will call me mom, mommy, momma or some form of that title."

JJ: "Yes, mom." The doctor goes to check on Aaron, who has begun to fuss. She takes him out of the crib and changes his diaper before sitting in the chair and feeding him a morning bottle. As she is feeding Aaron, the other agents begin to awaken slowly. David is the first to rise out of the bed and goes into the bathroom that JJ just vacated. Spencer decides to stay in bed for awhile and reaches for the remote control to the TV. He finds a movie channel that has a horror flick on it and stops searching.

Doctor: "NO."

Reid: "We're not children yet, we should be able to watch a horror film."

Doctor: "Don't you see enough horror in your job. I said no, change the channel." Not wanting to get on her bad side, who knows she might make him younger, he changes the channel and finds a new comedy.

After the agents have awakened and have all done their morning ablutions, they are all waiting for the doctor to do something. She is the one with the clothes, since none of them brought any of their own. She just sat there waiting for them to do while she finished feeding Aaron and then dressed him in an adorable coverall outfit and shoes. She puts him on the floor. Opening up the case with the devices and her laptop, she looks at the agents waiting for her. Opening another bag full of clothes, styled in the different ages that they would represent, she asks.

Doctor: "Who would like to be first?"

David stands up and comes forward,

Rossi: "What do I have to do?"

Doctor: "Just give me your wrist." She removes his wristwatch and places the device in that location and clicks it into place so that it cannot be opened without a special key. She hands a pile of clothing to wear and then turns to the laptop, where she processes his device. Like Hotch, he feels no change, except now he can see Hotch as a grown man wearing a child's coverall with a diaper underneath. The other agents see David change into an eleven year old boy. He heads into the bathroom to change into his clothes.

Hotch: "You look cute in that outfit Dave."

Rossi: "You should see how you look, Aaron."

Doctor: "Let's remember that if you are wearing a device you will see the world as it really is, adults dressed as children or a baby and if are not wearing a device you will see those who are wearing a device as a child or baby. Who wants to come next?" Emily comes forward and the doctor proceeds to process her in the same manner as she did David. This process would continue until all of the agents are dressed in their child style clothing and yet seeing themselves in the mirror and to each other as the real selves.

Prentiss: "It is amazing, how this works. I mean I was seeing you as a child and a baby and then you were adults again."

The doctor began to put the laptop and closing up the bags and says let's get everything cleaned up and ready to go.

Morgan: "Doctor, how are we getting to the town of Harvard?" She looks at Derek and then at the others.

Doctor: "Let's get one thing straight now; you will address me as mommy, momma, mom or something like that, depending upon your age. As for getting there, a station wagon is waiting for us outside in the parking lot. It has a car seat, two booster seats and is packed for us to go. So get things together here and let's go have some breakfast brunch." She turns to get the bags ready to go out the door. The agents got busy and got all the dirty clothes together and whatever else they would be taking with them. Everything was packed up and ready to go in less than half an hour.

Doctor: "I would like each of you to grab a bag and follow Penelope down to the lobby; I will meet you there in a few minutes. I expect the older children to keep an eye on the younger ones." She handed the bag with the devices and her laptop to Penelope. "Keep this close to you. If it gets lost, everybody stays this way for the rest of their lives. Do you really want the boss man to stay a baby?"

Garcia: "I'll guard it with my life."

Doctor: "No, you guard the children with your life; you guard this with everything else." She picks up Aaron off the floor and tells the others to go. After they have left the room, she then proceeds to take Aaron to the table where she changes his diaper.

Doctor: "I figured that this is something you would rather have done in private."

Hotch: "Yes, thank you mommy." When she completes changing him and redressing him, she grabs the diaper bag and heads out the door to meet the rest of the family downstairs.

Downstairs in the lobby, the family is milling around waiting for 'mommy' to take them to the car. She arrives and pays the bill for the hotel and herds her children out to the car. They stop by the side of a large station wagon with a child seat and two booster seats in the middle seat and the back is up to accommodate the other children. Opening the door to the middle seat, she puts Aaron in the car seat and the proceeds to put Spencer and Emily in each of the booster seats. JJ, David and Derek get in the back end and buckle up, while Penelope gets in the passenger side of the front seat. After making sure all the children are buckled in and the bags are all put away, Momma gets in the driver seat and turns the GPS locator on to direct her on how to get to Harvard, which is about 30 miles or so east of Rockford.

Hotch: "I'm hungry."

Reid: "Yeah, me too. Are we going to stop for breakfast?"

Doctor: "Yes, we will be stopping for breakfast in just a few minutes. Hold off the complaining okay, I know that you are all hungry."

Morgan: "Yeah, Reid, we don't need to hear you whining about your stomach" and he flicks him along the side of the head.

Reid: "Hey, I am just stating a fact. Mommy, Derek hit me."

Doctor: "Nobody likes a tattle tale Spencer and Derek, don't hit your little brother."

Morgan: "Tattletale."

Rossi: "Mom, I can always give Derek a flick if he hits Spencer again."

Doctor: "Thanks, but I would prefer to teach without hitting."

After a few minutes of mild squabbling and childish antics, Momma turns into a family restaurant and stops the car. The family gets out of the car and Penelope gets Emily out of booster seat, while momma gets Spencer and then Aaron out of their seats. Walking into the restaurant, they are taken to a large table and each of the children get into a chair while the waitress brings a high chair over for Aaron. Everybody orders breakfast. Penelope orders a big breakfast of two eggs, bacon, shredded potatoes and pancakes with orange juice. JJ orders a Denver Omelet and tomato juice. David decides on a big stack of pancakes with a side order of bacon, knowing he won't be able to get coffee; he just gets a glass of chocolate milk. Derek also gets chocolate milk to go with his eggs, ham and potatoes. Emily chose something light with a strawberry waffle and orange juice. Spencer wanted pancakes and bacon with milk. Momma ordered for Aaron a cup of apple juice and French toast, for herself she ordered eggs, bacon and shredded potatoes, as well as a cup of coffee.

While waiting for their food, the waitress brought crayons and coloring pages for the children to keep them busy and distracted from complaining about their hunger. When the food arrives, momma cuts Aarons toast into bite sized pieces and pour a little syrup on it before putting it on the tray of his high chair. He is given a spoon to eat with, but soon gives up on using it and just uses his fingers. She also cuts Spencer's pancakes and makes sure they are in bite sized pieces; he uses his spoon to eat. Penelope cuts up Emily's waffle to make it easier for her to eat. The others just dig in and eat like they have never eaten anything in their life. After a while, the plates are looking quite empty, momma treats Aaron with slice of bacon in bite sized pieces. He rewards her with a smile and we all know how often he smiles. When they have all finished eating, momma suggests they all take a trip to the bathroom and wash up before they head out again. She takes Aaron and asks David to take the boys to the men's room to wash them up. The girls go with her to the women's room and proceed to wash up. She washes Aarons face and hands and then proceeds to change him in the room while the girls use the toilets and clean their faces and hands. They all meet back at the table and then head out to the car.

Once again in the car, they sit and comment on the scenery going by them. They would love to discuss more about the case and how they are going to get more information to get a good profile, but momma doesn't answer any of their questions. So they try to just get to know what their new roles are and to live like they are actually the ages that they have been assigned.
