Chapter 36.

At the house, momma was getting ready to go get her children. Bob and the swat team were ready to head out and leave within minutes. Arriving at the site, they find it interesting to notice that they can actually see the building, it was no longer hidden. Rushing up to the door, momma following behind and seeing the mitten on the ground in front of the door, she picks it up and sees that it is David's. Fighting the tears she enters the building and rushes through to the catwalk, she sees a large open area empty. Looking across the room she sees the lighted office and runs around the catwalk to the office. She enters and looks around, sees a dirty diaper in the garbage can by the stove. She walks around and goes into the other room and sees the generator wall. She goes and reads some of the readouts and looks at the components, recognizing parts of the prototype which have been incorporated into the machine. Here is the machine that caused the illusion over the building and she sees the switch has been turned off. She looks around to see if anything else can tell her what her baby left. He is smart and would have left her a clue if he could. She heads to the desk and sits at the chair, the top is clear, the drawers were empty, and the garbage can had a few things, like food package and paper. She empties it on the desk and looks at each article in there. She finds a sheet of paper with just an address on it. She smiles when she sees it because she knows her baby's handwriting. Throwing the rest away, she goes and calls Bob. In the Pit, he looks up at her surrounded by more than twenty agents searching and then cataloguing everything they find. He rushes up to the office.

"Aaron left us a note." She handed the paper over to him. "Get it to Penelope right away and have her search the locators in the devices. I have checked my portable and they are more than five miles away already. Have a vehicle ready for me to go to that address."

"You are not going to this address. You need to let the agency do its job and find these children and agents."

"I keep wondering why this person took the children and what the plans are. The desk is empty and I haven't found anything else yet." She begins to go off-topic as she thinks of her children. "You know Bob; this has been an interesting experiment for me and the BAU unit. Spencer has opened himself and seen that his intelligence isn't all that he has to offer. He is beginning to truly grow up. Emily is healing, did you know that she has so little faith in people and she doesn't like men emotionally, not sexually. She has been let down by them, I hope this experience helps understand herself. Derek understands more of himself; going back to a time before the abuse in his life. He had enjoyed not having responsibility and just enjoying life. JJ just works to life; she will be a very good mother to Henry because that is how she views the world. David is still an enigma, a responsible rogue. Penelope has had a time of being the most responsible; I hope she has enjoyed it. Aaron." She stops talking and muses about the man that she has spent more time with than any other man that she has ever known. How does she describe what she sees in him and about him? How does she describe the experience for him? Was it positive? She is not so sure. They have spent the past eight months in each other's company practically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and yet how does she really see him, a man or a baby? She has been most personal with him in taking care of his every need and want.

"Did you know that I started to toilet train Aaron?"

"I saw the potty chair in the bathroom. Do you really think it is necessary? I mean when he does grown older again, won't he still be trained?"

"That was my hope and expectation. In August when he visited Jack, I had him wear protection because I wasn't sure if four months of no control could have made a difference in his strength and ability to control himself. He didn't disappoint because he had control."

"That's great news but Rebecca we really don't have time to discuss this."

"Why not?"

"We need to go…"

"No we don't really, not just yet. Let your agents continue to look and see if there is more information to find. Penelope will know what to do, whether we tell her or not. She will look for the locators. As for the address, we'll leave for there soon. Bob, I am worried about his abilities and I don't know why. I never expected to have to toilet train him. Do you know why I decided to?"

"No."

"As you know, I wanted to keep your agents in top condition; we created a shooting range in the basement so they could be able to practice their shooting abilities. When I changed them into their older selves to do it, I didn't bother changing what they wore at the time. You see the device will enlarge whatever they are wearing at the time of aging. I once did it to Aaron while he was just in a sleeper and a diaper. Visualize it Bob, a grown 6 foot 2 inch man in a yellow sleeper with bunnies on it and a diaper underneath, shooting at a target. Yes, it was a cute picture but not a very respectful or dignified one. I never did that again. After that, I had him naked before I aged him and had him wear protective underwear under a pair of Dockers or jeans and a t-shirt. After he finished his practice, he would come upstairs and go to the bathroom and we would change him back into my baby. His underwear would always be dry. You said I should disassociate myself more from them, that I was too close to them as a mommy. But, every week I would see them as adults, at least for a small time. One Sunday, after church we actually went to Waukegan to a dinner theatre. The girls wore less childish dresses that day and the boys were just in nice suits, even Aaron. When I aged them, they looked so good. That was a meal that everyone got to choose whatever adult meal they wanted. I was the only one who didn't have an alcoholic drink that night."

"Do you ever drink alcohol?"

"No, I used to, but uh, I became too fond on my brandy and beer."

"How long?"

"Nineteen years now, but that doesn't mean that I don't want a beer or snifter of brandy once in a while. But if I have one, I'll have another. There's no stopping at just one and more than that, I would lose control. I don't like to lose control. But my children enjoyed their night as adults that weekend. The reason I decided to toilet train Aaron was the weekend after Derek was taken. Aaron went down to practice his shooting, still the best at that. But when he came up, he refused to come out of the bathroom and even locked the door, something that he hadn't done before. It worried me. So I went the back way to the bathroom."

"Back way?"

"There is another door to the basement, which I used and came up to the bathroom where he was. You have to realize that the door to the basement is through the first floor bathroom. He did not have the basement door locked. When I came in the bathroom, he was just sitting on the toilet with his head in his hands bent so low, he hadn't taken off his clothes yet. I saw what looked to be a broken man and I didn't understand why. I looked at his weapons report and it was beautiful. I actually bent down and looked lifted his head to look him in the eye. He had been crying and was so despondent."

Flashback

"Hello baby, what is it? Come on let's use the toilet and change your clothes."

"I don't have to use the toilet."

"Well, that's okay. But David wants to come in and head down to do his practice and he can't do it if you're still in here. So let's get these clothes off so we can back to your role."

"My role? You mean being your baby."

"That is your current role."

"Well, you don't have to make me small for me to be your baby."

"What do you mean?"

"I came up to use the toilet and discovered that I didn't need to use it. Without knowing it happened my body already emptied its bladder." She realizes the problem.

"Well then we need to clean you up. It is not a problem."

"Not a problem? I am a grown man who should not be emptying my bladder while wearing my clothes. I am not a baby."

"For seven months you have not been in control most of the time, your muscles have weakened that's all. It is correctable."

"I shouldn't have to be corrected." Tears are flowing down his cheeks as feels more and more out of control of his body and emotions. She puts her hand on his cheek and wipes them away.

"Stop crying and show the man that you are to the world, your body will be normal when this is over. I promise I will not let you return without control." He looked at her and stood for her to help him to remove his clothes.

End of Flashback

"That's when I decided that he needed to be toilet trained. For the past few weeks, he has been doing very well, but this incident might just take away all of his good work."

"That is possible but then you just go back and start over again."

"When this started Spencer had a problem with wetting the bed, he didn't want to tell me about it because he thought he was going to wind in diapers like Aaron. But we agreed to nightly pull-ups and yes he does still wear them at night, but it's less often that he wakes up wet. He still does once in a while, but that usually happens if he saw a bad movie or drank too much or had a bad dream. As an adult I don't think he would have a problem. I am just not sure that Aaron will survive this without some type of emotional scar."

"Trust in him and let's go find our child agents." She gets up and the two leave to head back to the house to talk to Penelope about what she has found and to give her the address they found.
