Undercover Family

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

I do not own or have connection with the "Criminal Minds" program or its characters.

Chapter 5.

A few hours later, Emily awakens and gets off the bed trying not to disturb Spencer, but fails and he wakes up. The two leave the bedroom and go find where the other people are and they find them out on the front porch playing with the toys that are around. It appears to be so cute to them; as they watch what appear as adults to them to be playing with trucks and dolls. Emily goes and reaches in the toy box for a doll of her own to play with and finds a Mrs. Beasley. She squeals with delight.

Prentiss: "I remember playing with her when I was young." She goes to a corner and starts to talk to her doll.

Reid: "Am I the only sane one who doesn't want to play with a toy, but to find the unsub and thinks we should be going through the files and creating a profile. That is why we are here,

Morgan: "Actually, Reid, we are here to play right now. Going through the files is not going to help us profile, until we can get to talking to the kids and parents and see the abduction we are at a standstill. So get in the groove of things Reid and play like a four-year-old."

Reid: "I don't know how to play like a four-year-old, when I was four; I was playing chess and little league. That's not what we have here. I mean I don't really know how to play make-believe."

Rossi: "Then it is time to learn, come over here and I'll show you how to play with trucks." Spencer goes over to David and watches and starts to imagine how the trucks and cars can pretend to break down and play with them. They made noises and crashes into different things.

Meanwhile, momma checks on Aaron and finds that he is awake as well. She picks him up and changes his diaper. He asks, "Why she seems to continually be changing him?" Her reply to that is that because he is much smaller, so is his bladder and that the muscles around are not as strong as they used to be, so he will pee much more often than he used to. She attempts to reassure him that this would only be a temporary condition for him, when he returns to normal and is no longer wearing the device, his bladder and control would return to normal. In the meantime, they will be going through a lot of diapers. She takes him to the dining room and asks if he would like a snack. His answer is a most definite yes. She places him in his high chair and puts a sipping cup of apple juice and some graham crackers on the tray. She then goes to the porch and looks at her other children. She asks if any of them would like a snack and receives five enthusiastic voices shouting yes. They come running from the end of the porch and go sit in their seats after patting Hotch on the head when they pass him. He did not find that as funny as they did. They each got some crackers and poured themselves a glass of fruit punch kool-aid. Momma checks on Penelope in the computer lab and asks her if wants she wants a snack with the other kids. She had been researching the names of the families of the missing children, to find any connection between them. So far there has been no luck, but she's not ready to give up. If there is a connection, we know our tech girl will find it.

After Dinner that night, the family was sitting in the living room together watching a Disney film. As it begins to get late, momma mentions that it is time to head upstairs to go to bed. Seven tired bodies begin to move and get up; Momma opens the door to the upstairs and carrying Aaron, leads the family up the narrow stairs. At the top is a door directly in front of the stairwell and Momma motions to Penelope that this is her bedroom. Momma walks left down the hallway.

Momma: "The bathroom is through there." Indicating the first door to the left, there is a large tub, sink and toilet in there. Continuing down the hall, they stop at the end, there is a door to each side. "The girls on the left, next to the bathroom door and the boys are on the right." Going into the girls' room, Emily and JJ follow her. There is a full size bed and a seven drawer dresser with mirror in the corner is a small closet and this is by a small single window. Momma tells them that they can decorate anyway they want and that there are plenty of clothes for each of the girls in the drawers and closet. She tells the girls to get ready for bed by washing their face and hands, brushing their teeth, getting drinks of water and using the toilet. Momma leaves the room and goes into the other room where the guys are already looking around. In this there are two sets of bunk beds and a crib in the corner. There is a changing table near the crib and four dressers with four drawers in each dresser. Each dresser is a different color; each represents a color on each of the beds and the crib. "As you can see, you will get to a bed that has been chosen for you and the dresser with clothes for you will be in the dresser color coded to your bed. I have given David the red bed, Derek has the blue bed and Spencer has the green bed. The other bed is for guests or friends. The crib is for Aaron and is colored purple, although right now, I am keeping him downstairs with me. Get yourselves ready, there are pajamas, remember to wash your face and hands, brush your teeth, get a drink of water and use the toilet before going to bed. I will be back in about fifteen minutes, be ready." She leaves the boys room and goes back downstairs.

Hotch: "Well, that was interesting. What do you have set up for me?"

Momma: "A bottle and bed." She goes into the bedroom and puts Aaron into his crib. "I am going back upstairs. Do you think you can handle yourself alone for a little while?"

Hotch: "Yeah, I think I can handle myself alone."

Momma: "Good, scream if you need anything." She goes back upstairs and checks on the girls, who are dressed for bed and ready to get into bed. Momma tucks them in and kisses each good night. Going next door, she notices the boys aren't quite as ready but are getting there. She checks on Spencer, who is in the bathroom. "What's the delay in here Spencer?"

Reid: "I was the last one to get in here and the others wouldn't let me come in with them. They were being mean to me." He finished washing his face and then brushed his teeth. She walks back to the room and tells the others that Spencer is use the bathroom first from now on and that they need to learn to share the space with each other. She realizes that none of them had ever shared space like this before, but that's part of what a family does, share space and looking out for the younger ones. While she finishes berating the older boys, Spencer comes in. The boys climb into bed and she tucks them in and kisses them good night. She heads back downstairs, stopping in to say good night to Penelope, she had brought her laptop up and was working on the small desk in the back of the room. She says good night. Momma tells her not to stay up too late and goes downstairs to the kitchen. In the kitchen she heats up a bottle and when it is warm enough, she takes it to the living room by the rocking chair and then goes to get Aaron from his crib. As she enters, he looks up.

Momma: "Well, I see that you are still awake."

Hotch: "Not really all that tired" as he yawns and begins to rub his eyes. She picks him up and takes him to the living room; she has a movie that she wants to watch in the DVD player and starts it up. She gets in the rocker and places Aaron in the position to feed him a bottle, as she had done the night before. He grabs at the nipple and begins to suckle. As he drinks his bottle, she rocks and gently hums notes, while watching her film. After about a half an hour, Aaron has fallen asleep in her arms. She continues to rock him until her movie is over and then takes him and places him in his crib. After which she goes to bed herself.

A few notes:

Momma does not see the agents as adults but as the children they represent, she does not have an illusion device on her.

The device does alter a little of the personality of the people using them, it is not permanent. According to the former experiments they had done on them.

What do you think of the ages that I have given our agents? Do you think Spencer will do well as a four-year-old or should he have been the baby?

Please let me know your opinions, I do plan on continuing the story.
