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 45.

Aaron gets up and leaves the room. He goes into the dining room and looks around. He sees the outlet covers on the unused electric outlets. He sees the wires that are attached to the wall or the floor. He sees the high chair in the corner. He walks through the open door space into the kitchen where he sees the safety latches on the cupboards, the outlet covers and the sturdy lock on the back door. He sees the door to the sun porch and pushes it open. He looks around and once again sees the outlet covers and safety features. He walks through into the open door to the office and sees the play pen in the corner with his still unopened Christmas gifts. He sees the locked file cabinets and the safety features in the room. He goes through the door and sees on the right the opening to the basement in which the door has been removed but a child's safety gate has been placed. On the left is the door to a former closet turned into a half bath and he sees a potty chair sitting next to the large toilet. He walks down the hall and turns right to climb the stairs to the second floor. He thinks I wonder when they will be putting the child safety gate here.

Reaching the top of the stairs he goes left into the empty room which has the many boxes of computer parts and desk pieces to be set up. He sees the safety outlets and leaves the room to go to the next room that Spencer and Derek have picked for themselves. He sees their twin size beds, the dressers, a huge toy box in the corner and bookshelves with many books and more boxes to be unpacked. He tries to get into the bathroom next door but couldn't open the door. He goes to the next room and sees a twin size bed and the cribs with a dresser, changing table, rocking chair and wardrobe, a set of shelves in the corner with many of the toys that he played with and were given to him. He went to the corner and in a pique of anger, began to clear the shelves by throwing the toys off and around the room. After he got over his anger, he went back to the hall and walked by the other bathroom, which he was unable to enter. He entered momma's room and sees her bed and remembers their last night in Harvard and lying on that bed with her in his arms. He sobs as he thinks that he might not ever hold a woman in his arms again, that he would always be held, but not as a man.

He continues to walk around her room and sees her bookshelves and wardrobe and her rocking chair. He goes to the door that goes out to the balcony, he isn't able to reach the handle to go out but sits and just looks out not really seeing through the tears in his eyes as he thinks of how his life is going to change. He doesn't blame momma for the machine's failure. He just feels sorry for them both now.

Back in the family room, the others are getting the news that they will not be changing back into their adult selves any time soon. They see their careers ending; they see their lives at a standstill. The director sits there in shock that his best profilers will not be returning to their jobs, what does he do now with these agents? They are still agents of the government but what kind of job can they do now?

He says to momma, "Thank you for the information and your help in this. I am going to have to digest this and discuss with some officials. You will continue to attempt to repair the device?"

"It is a top priority."

He turns to his agents and says. "I think you should go upstairs and get ready for bed, you will be living here until the device is repaired and you become your real ages again. I will be sending all of the stuff that is at the house here tomorrow. Legally, your lives will be different. You will not be allowed to do things that a normal adult would be able to do and Rebecca will be listed as your mother with a deceased father. I will continue to be your grandfather. We will discuss your future as agents of the government at a later date. Go to bed now."

Sean speaks up, "I am not a government agent and I have a life in New York."

"Not anymore you don't. Your life is here with the others and under Rebecca's rule. Get used to it. Good night children, Rebecca." And he leaves the house with Section Chief Strauss.

Momma looks around and wonders where her baby is as she and her children go upstairs to prepare for bed. With sobs and tears our agents pull out the clothes that they now know will be theirs forever or until momma fixes the machine. Momma goes into the room that she had the cribs put in and notices the twin bed that Sean put in there and then at the toys strewn around the room.

Sean says, "I think someone has been here and he wasn't happy."

Momma replies, "I get that feeling myself, I am sorry about the situation Sean. You need to go see David about some night clothes; I think all of yours are at grandpas."

"Sure." He leaves the room.

She heads to her room and looks around and sees the small body in front of the door to the balcony and walks over to it. She bends down and says. "I am sorry. This is not what I wanted." The body turned and looked at her and they both realize that there are tears in their eyes. He reaches out and she hugs him tight and picks him up. He looks at her and says, "I want to be in this room with you, not in the other room with Sean. I don't get to make a lot of decisions in regards to my life right now and this is one that I want to make." He looks at her solemnly and with firm determination of this desire. She smiles.

"Then let us talk to Sean." She walks to the other room with him in her arms. "Hello Sean." He looks up and smiles.

"Well, I see you found my baby brother." Aaron sticks his tongue at him and Sean responds in kind.

"Sean, Aaron wants to share the bedroom with me, could you please move the crib and changing table into my room?"

"Are you sure Aaron?"

Aaron replies, "Yes, I don't get to make a lot of choices for myself and this is one that I to make."

"I'll bring the stuff over; you just tell me where to put it."

"Get the other children to help, don't push beyond your capabilities or overdo it. Between several of you, it can be done safely." He nods and goes upstairs to get David, JJ and Penelope. They come down and begin to move one of the cribs and the other furniture pieces to momma's room. In momma's room there wasn't a lot of room yet, because of the hundred or so boxes that still needed to be unpacked. But they got the furniture in there, if not in its permanent place. Momma sits in the rocking chair and feeds Aaron his nightly bottle while they watch the others bring in the things.

After moving the furniture, they sit around momma as she once again resumes her role and reads a night time story to her children.

The end to this story.

But don't think that it is the end of the lives of our intrepid agents.
