o how is Reid going to get out of this situation well maybe he doesn't explain so if in mixed up with times also reid may be very OOC in this chapter I would also like to add that the last chapter was the end of the funeral like this
Reid gulped he didn't want to explain to his father about his team and the relationship between him Hotch and Rossi. He had made a huge mistake saying anything. The anger he had felt had been replace by embarrassment. Reid would have done anything to get out of the situation he was in. "It doesn't matter," Reid said avoiding eye contact with everyone. He looked down at the ground and hoped no one would ask any more questions.
"If I ask you a question you answer me?" William said glaring at Reid. He could never understand his son. He wondered what he meant by Rossi would have been a better father. William knew that he had left his son and Diana when his son was very young. He did it for the best but Spencer would never understand why he had done it.
"I think I can explain…" Rossi said after a moment of silence. He knew Reid didn't know about his son who died so could use him and lie to William. He got prepared to talk about James for the first time in years. He knew it might hurt a little but he needed to protect Hotch and Reid particularly now in front of Reid's dad.
"Fine!" William said turning to Rossi. Rossi took a deep breath as he prepared to talk to William.
"May I talk to Reid a moment in private?" Hotch asked. He was slightly surprised by Reid. He knew Reid was very close to breaking. Well anyone would be after finding out their boss was their half-brother and one of their closest friends was their boss's father then watching their mum killed by a physco when they thought she was in a safe place. But Hotch was concerned about Reid. He didn't want Reid to break in the middle of a case. He didn't want Reid to go back on drugs. He didn't want Reid to do anything stupid. But Reid had just said something so unexpected. 'What was Reid thinking?' Hotch thought to himself as he waited for Rossi or Reid to reply.
Both Rossi and Reid nodded slightly. Then Rossi said "We'll meet back at the car later."
Hotch and Reid nodded and walked away.
"Explain then," William said almost scowling. He wasn't happy that his son wasn't explaining. He knew something was up when Spencer's boss took Spencer away. He wondered what it was but first he wanted to know what his son meant.
"I told Reid once that when I was married, the first time, I had a son but he was stillborn. He always felt sorry for me." Rossi said with tears in his eyes. It still hurt to talk about James even though it happened years ago.
"I'm sorry," William said sincerely. He felt sorry for Rossi but was still annoyed with his son. Why hadn't Spencer told him? He supposed it was because they weren't very close and he thought it wasn't something that you would naturally say to someone. He was still very annoyed with Spencer though. 'Why couldn't he have just said that himself?' He wondered
With Reid and Hotch
They walked away from the cemetery and to the back of the ceremony building. Reid slapped his hands against the wall. It hurt but all the emotions in his head didn't care. He was too upset, too embarrassed, to care. "What was that all about?" Hotch asked as Reid stopped and faced him.
"I was telling him how I felt about him! But if you're talk about almost spilling … I don't know," Reid said as he slumped against the wall with his hands around his knees. He had his face in his hands and was crying.
"Just calm down, Reid. Everything will be fine…" Hotch said. He tried to sound reassuring but he was trying to reassure himself at the same time. He didn't know what Rossi was saying or whether William would find out. He just hoped Rossi would be good at getting rid of William's doubts, if he had any.
"Will it?" Reid said unsure. He lifted his head slightly and faced Hotch. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was cherry red. His hair was scruffy and all over the place. Reid felt his brain was useless and for the second time in his life, he felt embarrassed of himself. The only time he felt almost as embarrassed of himself was when he was on diladid. That was a low in his life which he felt would always be a mark on his soul. He knew if he wasn't strong he would automatically relapse. He didn't want to be there again. Today he was embarrassed of himself because he had let everyone close to him down. 'Just like when you were on diladid,' A nasty voice in his brain chanted. He shook his head as his brain chanted that thought. He couldn't let that get to him. 'I'm not like that anymore!' He thought. But he knew his brain was in a total mess so anything could happen!
