A/N: I am back! I think this chapter is more in depth to what's going on with Spencer and every other character in the story! I do not own cm or their characters... Just Alex.. Dale.. An old lady...

They heard the scream. It was panicked and scared. Then they heard the monitors going haywire. The ran into the room and Rossi automatically called for help. JJ ran to Diana who was struggling with the nurses. Doctors rushed in and began working on Spencer immediately. Diana had already pushed one nurse to the ground. "Diana," JJ said calmly trying to capture Diana's attention. "They're hurting my baby! They have him!" Diana shrieked. The Doctors casted JJ and Diana a wary glance before turning back to their ailing patient. "We need to know who is doing this too him. He doesn't have much longer left," JJ said tearfully. "Why does it even matter to you?" Diana sneered. "Who are you! Are you the reason why my baby is stuck here!"

JJ was taken aback. Rossi kept his distance. "What? No! Brandon Dale did this! We need to find out why so we can help Spencer! Look, Mrs. Reid, Spencer is my baby's godfather. Henry loves Spencer very much. We can't lose him," JJ said softly. "We just can't."

Diana stared at JJ coldly. "Why did you make him the Godfather? Is it a trick to win his trust so you and your fascist friends could hurt him!" Diana yelled. JJ wasn't to sure how much more of this she could take. She loved Reid, but Diana knew how to hurt someone. "No!" JJ sobbed. "We want to help him. You are the only one who can help him, but you don't even want to because you don't want Spencer to know whatever it is that you're hiding! Who ever is out there to get him, is going to take him away from you and me. I need you to talk to us. It will stay confidential and we can all promise not to tell Spence anything," JJ said slowly. Diana stared at JJ skeptically. "I don't want my baby to be hurt and by telling you, he will be hurt for sure," Diana said. "We promise not to tell him," JJ whispered. "Spencer is a smart boy. He'll know that you all know something that he doesn't. You all can't hide your emotions," Diana said coldly. "You're right. He might find out, but it's either hurt or death. You're choice. You are his mother," JJ said sadly. She knew that only Hotch could make the decision for Reid's life support, but Diana needed to feel the burden.

"Excuse me," The doctor said. JJ quickly turned around. "Can't you see we are having a heavy discussion! Leave us be or I'll cut your tongue off for speaking so freely," Diana snapped much to everyone's surprise. The doctor stared at Diana. "I'm crazy," Diana said while staring at him intensely. "I apologize. I'll wait for you all outside," The doctor said slowly. Diana nodded quickly and the doctor removed himself from the room.

Rossi was relieved when he heard Spencer's heart monitor stabilize. JJ was too, but right now she needed Diana Reid to go back to the station with them. "I don't want my baby to die. It's not his time. If I speak to you, will he get better?" Diana asked in a soft hopeful voice. JJ was once again taken aback at her demeanor. "We can catch the person who did this too Spencer, so when he does get better, he won't be hurt by him again," JJ said choosing her words wisely. Diana looked at Spencer one last time. There were more machines, and Diana finally nodded. "I'll do it if it keeps my baby alive," She whispered. JJ smiled in relief. Rossi nodded and walked out side to the doctor.

"She's calmed down," Rossi said calmly. "I didn't know his mother was crazy," The doctor said with a shake of his head. "She's not crazy. She's a paranoid schizophrenic," Rossi defended on Reid's behalf. Getting the hint the doctor nodded. "My apologies. I need to inform you on Spencer's new condition," The doctor said slowly. Rossi felt his heart stop for a second and nodded. "His condition has only worsened. He has developed Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, otherwise known as ARDS," The doctor said quickly. Rossi looked at the doctor with confusion. "What does this exactly mean?" Rossi asked. The doctor sighed and glanced around before looking back at Rossi. "Many people who develop ARDS don't survive. Considering the fact that Dr. Reid's chances were low to begin with doesn't shed much light in his favor. We have put him on a ventilator and his fluids will be monitored every hour. If he doesn't stabilize, his organs will begin to shut down one by one. Eventually life support wouldn't be enough to keep him alive," The doctor concluded. Rossi nodded and thought for a second. "What could happen to him if he survives?" Rossi asked. "Um, lot's of thins. He could end up with another collapsed lung, sepsis, pulmonary fibrosis, and other long term diseases. However there have been accounts to where a survivor shows no complications whatsoever," The doctor smiled, hoping that he gave the older man some hope. "I will inform Aaron Hotchner. He will call you if he has any questions. Thank you doctor," Rossi said as JJ and Diana walked out. The doctor nodded and left rather quickly as he saw Diana. "Are you both ready," Rossi asked and JJ nodded. Diana just nervously walked behind them with the two tired-looking nurses.

Before they left the hospital, Diana stopped walking. JJ turned around when she noticed that Diana wasn't following them anymore. "Rossi," JJ called gaining Rossi's attention. He turned and noticed that Diana Reid was deep in thought. Something that Spencer has always done when his mind is searching for a connection. "Diana?" Rossi called out and Diana looked at Rossi. "Spencer wrote to me a couple days ago," Diana stated. JJ looked at Rossi in confusion. They were unsure if it was a delusion or something important. "About what?" JJ prompted. "A girl. He had strong feelings for a girl. He didn't want to believe it, but he did say that she said she had strong feelings for him too," Diana said raising a hand to her chin. An exact gesture Reid does when he starts formulating an answer. "Where is she? Why isn't she with him?" Diana asked looked at them skeptically. "Truthfully, Spencer didn't tell me, however JJ could answer your question," Rossi said looking at JJ with a raised eyebrow. "Um-"

"No ums, call her and tell her what's going on. It's not nice to be kept in the dark. She's going to be worried sick!" Diana stated as she stared immensely at JJ. JJ grabbed her cellphone and dialed Alex's number. She felt nervous under Diana's cold stare.

On the fifth ring, the girl finally picked up tiredly.

"Dr. Romanov," She answered with a yawn.

"Hi Alex. This is Jennifer Jereau, I work with Spencer. Do you remember me?" JJ asked hoping that the girl didn't. JJ still felt bad about how she acted when Spencer let them meet her.

"I remember you. Why are you calling me?" She asked slightly more awake.

"I'm calling about Spencer," JJ said vaguely.

"He's not here. He didn't call me. I guess he went back to his apartment. I fell asleep once I got back from the hospital," Alex rambled slightly. JJ had to hide the grimace on her face.

"Well, um, that's because he's in the hospital," JJ said quickly. There was silence on the other line.

"Why?" Alex asked.

"Because he was out last night walking around and there was an accident. It wouldn't be right for me to tell you over the phone, however once you get here, I won't be," JJ said calmly. Once again there was silence on the other line.

"What happened?" Alex asked. JJ could hear the worry in the girl's voice. JJ walked away from the eyes of Diana and Rossi and walked into the deserted hallway.

"He was hit by a speeding truck. He's been in a coma since early this morning. He also sustained a punctured lung, pneumonia, possible brain damage, a fractured hip, and some broken and fractured ribs. When you get here, I think the doctor might be able to go in depth. I don't know. Policies," JJ said warily.

"How come no one told me earlier," Alex asked angrily.

"We thought he would wake up," JJ whispered. She could faintly hear Alex cursing in the background.

"So what would've happened if he died? I would just be the last one to find out? When would that be? After the funeral?" Alex snapped.

"Okay, Alex, calm down. First of all we are trying to find out why he was out there in the first place. We all know Reid doesn't do something this stupid unless he is restless. Trust me when I say I have my suspicions that you're the reason why he was walking around in the streets in the first place. I know Spence better than anyone else," JJ said with a small shake in her head. She'd be damned if this woman that Spencer barely met could possible get away with hurting him.

"You're right," Alex whispered. "I'm sorry."

"Yeah, well he's at Woodbridge General Hospital," JJ said quickly as she hung up. JJ shook her head in slight anger. She really didn't like Alex, but she didn't want to tell anyone. There really wasn't enough reason to hate the girl. JJ sighed and headed back to area where Rossi and Diana waited. "You called her?" Diana asked slowly. "Yes, she's on her way," JJ said slowly. Diana rose an eyebrow but didn't say a word. JJ wondered if Diana knew.

Back at the headquarters. Brandon Dale was getting restless. He was bored out of his mind and none of the agents even bothered to talk to him Dale decided he couldn't just sit there any longer. "Hello!" He shouted hoping that there was someone on the other side. "Can anyone hear me!" He shouted. "Hey!" He screamed.

"Jee, dude shut the hell up. You don't have to yell, we can hear you all the way down the hallway," Derek Morgan said sitting in front of Brandon. "And you must be Derek Morgan," Brandon smiled. "If you called one of us just to play little mind games then you're in for some disappointment," Morgan said while raising an eyebrow. "You're right. Only Dr. Reid likes mind games. How is he? I must say I hit him pretty hard. He looked as if he had a pretty sick concussion," Dale smirked. Morgan used all of his control to not strangle the man in front of him. "Well, he didn't make it," Derek lied. "It's okay, we already found his replacement."

Dale looked up at him in shock. "Really? You replaced him so quickly?" Dale asked. "It only takes one phone call. Agent Gideon decided to return on Reid's behalf," Morgan said easily. "I want to see him," Dale smirked. "Well, he doesn't want to see you, besides it's not like we have to listen to you," Morgan shrugged. "Are you so sure about that?" Dale asked menacingly. "I don't know, you tell me Mr. Dale," Derek said leaning back in his chair. "You're lying, Agent Morgan. Dr. Reid is in the hospital fighting for his life," Dale smiled sweetly. Morgan was slightly surprised. He wasn't sure how Dale would know. "What makes you think that?" Morgan asked. "Your actions. If your boy was truly dead, then you would be angry. You would've slammed me against a wall and possibly punched me right in the face. Yet, you haven't. Former Agent Gideon is in Colorado. He's been there hiking for a while. He plans on going to Arkansas next. Believe me when I say that I have been watching you all for the longest time. However, it isn't you that I want. I only want Dr. Reid," Dale said with a small frown. "Why do you want Dr. Reid?" Morgan asked tensely. "I don't know, why do you want to protect Dr. Reid?" Dale asked. "I don't have to answer you," Morgan growled. "And I don't have to answer you," Dale smirked.

"Tell him," Morgan heard Hotch's voice through the ear piece.

"Fine. Dr. Reid, is my best friend. I promised him that I would be there for him, no matter what. So, here I am dealing with you. Your turn," Derek demanded. "My reasons aren't so superficial. In fact, they're rather deep. I am saddened to say that your explanation doesn't really give me a change of heart about the boy," Dale said with a small pout. "Why do you want Dr. Reid?" Morgan growled. "Oh, I forgot to answer that small question. Well, let me think for a second because I don't know where to begin," Dale said with a playful expression. He was rather surprised that the agent gave him the time. "Spencer is obviously different. He's a smart kid with a good heart, but I couldn't help but hate the little bastard. I've never met him up close, but my father. Oh my dear sweet father didn't mind bragging about him to the end of the world. You see, it wasn't jealousy on my part. In fact, there was nothing to be jealous about. I mean if anything, I was just jealous that he could get his homework done in five minutes, but I believe that would count for everybody. Spencer Reid ruined my life the second he was even recognized. That's all I'm willing to tell," Dale smiled. He knew he had all the agents' attention and it made him feel alive. Morgan stood and left the room.

He walked behind the mirror where Hotch and Prentiss were staring at the man through the glass. "Well, we established that the man has a vendetta," Emily sighed tiredly. "This is one fucked up case. This is something only Reid could dissect," Morgan said as he flopped down in a chair. "Morgan, we have gotten along fine before Reid joined the team. We are looking at this all wrong," Hotch said easily. "How?" Emily asked in confusion. "We need the whole team, but let's see how Rossi and JJ are going to interrogate Mrs. Reid. Rossi called and he was heading back here because Diana has agreed to answer more questions. However, we must try to keep whatever we learn to ourselves and not tell Reid, per her request," Hotch said. "What? Hotch, man, I think Reid has a right to know that William isn't even his father. Give the kid a peace of mind," Morgan argued. "Will it really? Imagine the man you loved as a father walking out on you, leaving you with a schizophrenic mother. Imagine seeing him for the first time in seventeen years. There's tension, but you tried to resolve it. Now you find out that the man you thought was your father isn't your father. Now you don't even know who your father is. You start to doubt your mother and then you start to feel depressed. If Reid doesn't know, he stays the way he is today. If he does, then he will be spending his time searching for answers that his own mother is reluctant to give," Hotch said looking straight at Morgan. "Hotch, has a point, Morgan. If Reid finds out, then it has to be on his own. He can't just wake up and we come in like, 'While you were sleeping we asked your mom who your dad is. Guess what? It's not William Reid!'" Emily said with fake enthusiasm. "He already has emotional scars. Let's try not to add to it," Hotch finished as he looked at a text. Morgan nodded in understanding.

"That was JJ. They settled her in Interrogation room 5. Lets get in there quickly," Hotch ordered as the three agents headed to the interrogation room.

The headlights were gone. Spencer wasn't sure what happened but he had a feeling he didn't want to. "Wha-?" Spencer was about to ask but Walter only shook his head. "Sometimes it is better to not know the answer. Trust me. You don't want to know," Walter said sadly. "Wait. How come you know, but I don't?" Spencer asked as he saw Walter frown. "Because you remember what you want too. I remember everything that your brain has repressed. Simple, neuroscience," Walter shrugged. "Wait, so there are things I don't remember?" Spencer asked in shock. "That's a stupid question. Isn't that what I just said?" Walter asked impatiently. "Why are you getting upset with me?" Spencer asked. "Because, ugh! You just don't know. It's better that way I guess. We need to get you out of this dark place. Let's get back to remembering..."

Alex was scared as she sped towards Woodbridge. She was surprised that he was all the way over there. She also felt extreme guilt. She didn't think she could've easily hurt him. She felt responsible for his possible death and that thought scared her. If she killed Spencer, how could she live with herself? The one guy who seemed to be different was in a hospital because she decided to get mad over something so trivial. It wasn't like he cheated on her. All he wanted was a moment to not have her as a doctor, but more of a girlfriend. What happened? She got all butt hurt and told him to not talk to her until he was ready to explain why he wouldn't... eat. She felt so stupid! She could think of a million reasons why he wouldn't eat. Right now, her guess is that it was because he was still feeling nauseous from that dream. If only she would've just listened to him. Stop playing doctor and just be supportive. She practically ruined everything she's ever wanted-except this time, there's a possibility of no rewind. She had to be strong, though. Not for herself, but for Spencer. She wasn't exactly there for him then, but she would be for him now.

She finally parked the car and ran into the building. She knew from JJ's description-however vague- he would be in ICU. She quickly made her way to the elevator and headed straight for the front desk of the ICU.

"Can I help you?" A tired older woman asked. "I need to see Dr. Reid. I am his wife and I just got a call that he was admitted here," Alex half-lied. "He's been here for a while. Why were you just now contacted?" The older lady asked. For a small second, Alex imagined herself strangling the older woman, but she quickly discarded the thought. "I'm a doctor at Quantico's Emergency Healthcare Unit. I was performing surgery on a patient," Alex said quickly, knowing the older woman would understand. "Alright, well he's in room 824. He won't be able to speak or pretty much anything else," The older lady yawned. Alex frowned at the woman's lack of care, but headed straight for his room.

As she stood outside the door, she took a deep breath. She knew Spencer wouldn't want her to see him like this, but she couldn't let him down again. She slowly entered the room and gasped when she saw the boy, no... man, looking frail in the hospital gown. There were many machines around him. An IV for fluid, and IV for nutrition, the ventilator, and the heart monitor. She recognized other equipment, but felt as if it was pointless to guess them all out. She wanted to just be with Spencer. She pulled up a chair and grabbed his hand. He felt cold. Like a cadaver she worked on during her first year in medical school. She imagined Spencer lying on a table, naked, as another student began to cut him for the benefit of their education. She quickly shook the thought from her head. It was rather disturbing. Instead, she decided to focus on all that could be.

Diana Reid sat in a better looking Interrogation room. Rossi made sure that the Officers in the building set up the room to be more comfortable. There was a cushion chair and the table had a pretty legit looking table cloth. Also, the table was moved sideways so it wouldn't separate Diana Reid from the two agents. It wasn't much, but Diana seemed fairly comfortable. She sat there in a relaxed position, clutching a small book that they all seemed to notice that she was rather protective of. She never opened it in front of them, but they could tell it was really old.

"Okay, Diana. We will take our time through this," David said as he opened his file. JJ just sat there with a kind smile plastered on her face. "Okay," Diana said quickly.

"So, William Reid is not Spencer's father?" Rossi asked for clarification.

"No, he's not Spencer's father," Diana said with a small shake of her head.

"Does William know?" Rossi asked. Diana nodded her head.

"Yes, William knows. I wasn't lying when I said we loved each other. We worked through our problems. He promised to protect Spencer from the outside world. However, you shouldn't make promises you can't keep," Diana frowned.

"You said loved," JJ mentioned.

"Yes, loved. We will always remember our love, but it can never be," Diana said with a frown.

"And why is that?" Rossi asked.

"It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited. Lewis B. Smedes," Diana answered wisely.

"Who is that?" JJ asked.

"He was a renowned Christian author, theologian, ethicists as well as a professor for theology and ethics at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California," Diana stated easily. JJ smiled brightly. They could see where Spencer got his brains and it was definitely all Diana's. They were just surprised how different they were as well. Diana was not awkward. She is quick to fight back and Spencer had his hesitations. She was very confident and Spencer fell short of that, however, he was slowly getting up there.

"What needed to be forgiven?" Rossi asked noticing how Diana's mood changed dramatically.

"We both needed to be forgiven," She said slowly.

"Can you elaborate?" Rossi asked kindly. Diana nodded her head.

"William is patient. William also has an anger that can overrun his patience. When I told him about my friends, he would become upset. He has never attacked me. He just left and came back later during the night. For some reason, I never bothered to wonder where William went. I guess that was all trust. Soon, I found out," Diana's voice went dark. She didn't say anything though.

"Diana where did he go?" Rossi asked. JJ sat quietly hoping that her expression was reassuring.

"He went out with a couple of his law buddies from the firm. I didn't think he was a heavy drinker. Before you can ask how I found out, I might as well tell you. One night when he came home I could smell it when he came to bed. I didn't bother to acknowledge him then. It wasn't a big deal to me," Diana shrugged.

"When did you acknowledge him?" JJ asked slightly intrigued by the story.

"When I caught him molesting my baby!" Diana said nervously.

Everyone fell silent in the interrogation room. Everyone who was watching the interrogation from the other side of the reflective wall fell silent as well. Everything was just, silence.

"What?" Rossi gasped in shock.

"Spencer doesn't remember. When I found out, I knew Spencer was hurting. I gave him some of my medication. He fell asleep and he never remembered. William didn't know what he was doing. So I acknowledged him to clean up his act or leave. He tried. He truly did. He messed up a couple more times, and during those times I continued to give my baby my medication. It worked. After William left, I didn't have to worry about Spencer being hurt by him again. I forgave William, but we can never be together," Diana explained quickly.

JJ had tears in her eyes. Rossi was silenced from the shock. Morgan wanted William dead. Hotch and Emily kept a level head.

Rossi nodded slowly, allowing the information to sink in.

"So, William molested Spencer. Spencer is unable to remember because you drugged him," Rossi stated.

"Yes."

"Why didn't you guys get a divorce?" Rossi asked as JJ excused herself.

"Because, that would cost money. Also, CPS wouldn't allow me to have Spencer," Diana explained. Rossi nodded.

"How did Hector Dale react to you and William's split?" Rossi questioned. Diana thought for a second.

"He was supportive. Spencer shied away from him, but Hector never gave up. They had a couple good memories. Spencer would consider him as an Uncle. Hector never touched Spencer. In fact, I think the man thought of Spencer as a long lost child," Diana concluded. Rossi nodded in deep thought.

"So, Hector Dale is not Spencer's biological father?"

"No, Hector isn't. I don't mess with married men. I didn't want to set the wrong example if I were to have children," Diana said.

"Do you know who the father is?" Rossi asked. Diana Reid took in a shaky breath.

"Yes, I know who the father is. His name is..."
