A/N: Okay so now that the previous filler in chapter has been completed, life shall continue on! I am excited for this chapter. Me gustaaa! I don't own CM or any other characters!

Most of the team was gathered together. Hotch looked at Morgan angrily. "Where's JJ?" Hotch barked causing many nurses to look at them warily. "Will said she wasn't feeling good, so I decided not to get her," Morgan explained quickly. "Did you speak to her?" Hotch asked not as rough as he did earlier. "No, I didn't want to wake her up. Will said she couldn't sleep all night, so she just stayed with Henry," Morgan said. Hotch took a deep breath and nodded. "The reason why I wanted everyone here was because one of us will be framed for Dale's release," Hotch said lowly. Garcia gasped and Emily frowned. "What? How?" Morgan asked. "They say that One of us told to guards that Dale was to be set free. That have fingerprints and I need to know if any of you decided to interrogate Dale last night, despite my orders," Hotch said. The team looked around at each other warily. They all had new questions to ask Dale, but none of them decided to go against Hotch's orders.

"No Hotch. None of us did," Morgan said for everyone. "If JJ was sick all night, then she shouldn't have as well," Rossi said on her behalf. Hotch sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He truly thought everything was going to get easier, but apparently not.

"So, Dale is out. Where would he most likely go?" Hotch asked. "Out of state for sure," Emily said. "I brought my laptop. Maybe I can see if he made any trails?" Garcia suggested warily. She was scared for Reid. She knew he was strong, but he couldn't defend himself this time around. "Okay Garcia, you do that," Hotch said, "This is critical. He most likely will come back after Reid the chance he gets. He will make sure that Reid dies."

"Wait, what if he disappears and Reid gets better?" Morgan asked. "He won't let it come to that. He knows that Reid would figure this all out if you give him two hours. He has to do this now," Rossi said. "So, the question is how will he come," Emily said. "Right. We need to ensure that only Reid's Doctor can come in here. Not even a nurse," Hotch said. "Um, Alex. What if she comes?" Morgan asked remembering the young girl. "We will deal with her when that time comes. At the most, we just won't allow her in. We can say it's confidential," Hotch said strictly.

Just then a man showed up at the door. Hotch wasn't sure who he was, but Rossi cursed.

"Why is there security guarding my son's door!" William Reid questioned angrily.

"What are you doing here?" Hotch nearly glared angrily.

"I'm here to see my son!" William said matching Hotch's glare.

"Last time I checked, you told me to let him die," Hotch said not backing down.

"I was drunk! You say crap you don't exactly mean," William said to his own defense.

"I'm sure you do things you don't exactly mean too," Morgan said while crossing his arms coolly across his chest. William looked at Morgan remembering him.

"Hello Agent Morgan, Agent Rossi," William said while calming down. Morgan didn't say a word. He wasn't exactly up for friendly conversation. Garcia looked up in shock and Emily decided to take matters into her own hands.

"Excuse me, Mr. Reid," Emily smiled getting William's attention. "My name is Emily Prentiss. I work with Spencer," She extended her hand. William shook it and Hotch wanted to cut the man's hands off.

"It's nice to meet you Emily. I want to see my son, is that okay?" William said slowly. Emily wasn't sure if she should say yes or no. "Um-" "I understand that he probably doesn't like me, but I have to speak with him. Even if he can't speak back. I need to say goodbye to my son, just in case. I can't just sit around and hope he gets better. May I have a moment alone with him?" William asked desperately. He knew to ask the women. They were softer than the men. For some strange reason the agents were very protective over Spencer.

"No," Morgan said quickly. "Excuse me?" William questioned. "I'm pretty sure you heard me. I said no. You can't speak to him alone," Morgan said daring William to try him.

"I am his father," William said in disbelief.

"A father who walked out on his family. A father who hurt his son so deeply," Rossi said choosing his words wisely.

"And this is me being a father trying to say goodbye. I can't live with myself if I just let Spencer go. I know he would want me here!" William said.

"William Reid. Your son can not be alone with anyone without our supervision at this moment. Someone is after him and we can't take any chances," Hotch said composing himself.

"I would never hurt Spencer," William said slowly.

"How can we believe you? Diana Reid told us that you hated Spencer," Rossi questioned.

"Diane is a Paranoid Schizophrenic! She would've told you that I worked for the government if her friends thought it to be true," William argued. "Anyways, I have the right to see him and I just ask for fifteen minutes. After that, then you can barge in. I don't care, but I'm talking to Spencer and there's nothing you could do about it," William said as he marched over to Spencer's side.

"Guys, I think William has a right to talk to Spencer," Garcia said quietly. "You know what he did to Spencer," Morgan argued in a low enough voice so that William couldn't hear him. "That was years ago," Garcia said. "I don't care. I don't trust him. Leaving a man like that with Reid, who can't defend himself, is just downright stupid. I would know," Morgan said despite how he really wished he didn't know.

"We can give him time alone, but every five minutes we will walk in and check on him. If anything happens then we will lock him up as well," Hotch finally said. As much as he'd prefer to be there, he wasn't sure if Reid didn't want him there. After all, Reid doesn't even know. In Reid's eyes, he just wanted his family together again,

"William, we will give you sometime, but we will be checking in on you," Hotch warned as the profilers left the room.

William nodded and turned to his sleeping son. William had to admit, that Diana was right. Spencer truly was perfection. He's smart, successful, and all he needed was a family. William couldn't believe he missed out on his son's life. He knew, though, that it was for the best. William knew Spencer thought about reaching out to him, like he said he would after his case with Riley Jenkins, but he also knew Spencer was scared. William decided that he would allow Spencer to come back into his life. He'd just have to quit the drinking.

"Hey Spencer. Your hair got longer. How did you end up here in the hospital. Truthfully you were always a bit on the clumsy side, but really? Knocking on death's door? Well, I guess that's not your fault. Your boss did say someone was after you. You know, for some time I disliked you. You were every thing your mother wanted and more. I guess I can say that I couldn't keep up. You were confusing. You didn't care about toys, girls, or even sports. It was just knowledge and chess. Your mother said that was normal, but I disagreed. I thought you were going to end up living in a basement doing science experiments for the rest of your life. I must say I am surprised that you did something so... Well, I can't say normal, but normal for you," William turned around as Hotch walked in. When Hotch left, William continued.

"I can say if you were truly my son, I wouldn't have been able to leave you so quickly. In fact, I would've been proud that you were so smart. Honestly, it doesn't even matter that you're not my child. I still treated you wrong. Everything I did to you wasn't right, but I won't regret it. It's not worth it. I truly hope this is a goodbye, so I will never have to live in fear. Truly Spencer, you scare me. I thought when you were arresting me it was because you remembered but I'm glad you didn't. I'm glad that your mother kept giving you her medication until you forgot. I don't know what I would've done if it wasn't for her. It's all over now. You will soon die and life will move on. I just hope you die peacefully. So, good-bye Spencer. Don't bother waiting for me on the other side. I doubt I may be going where you are," William laughed slightly. "Whatever, son. Good-bye."

Morgan walked in as William ran a hand through Reid's hair. "What the hell are you doing?" Morgan asked. William turned around and smiled. "I said good-bye to Spencer," William smiled sadly. Morgan softened slightly. "Yeah. It's tough, but Spencer's strong. He'll make it," Morgan smiled encouragingly. "No, he suffered enough. I wouldn't be mad if he finally died. I'd be relieved that his pain was over," William said simply. Morgan inwardly yelled. He knew William wanted to save his butt. He's been living with the fear of Spencer finding out for more than 17 years. He probably thought that with Reid gone, there wouldn't be much to worry about anymore. Morgan inwardly laughed as he thought of how shock William would be when he got arrested right after Reid died. Morgan would make sure of it.

"I'll be back tomorrow. Just to check on him," William said calmly. Morgan walked with William out of the room. Hotch, Garcia, and Emily went for breakfast, and Rossi decided to go for coffee.

Little did they know that they were in the hospital.

"Let's get him!" Dale said angrily.

"No, it's too early. I want their guard to be down, yet I want them to be on edge. Dear, I have a plan. By the time I'm done, they won't even be able to find you," She smiled.

"I love it when you get all smart like that," Dale whispered pulling her closer.

"If only you could keep up," She sighed as she walked to the stairwell. Dale was following close behind. "Hey I'm trying my best," Dale argued. "Your best got you captured. You really thought that you could play innocent. You are messing with the brightest minds in the world," She scoffed at his stupidity.

"I guess. How's the baby boy that you took?" Dale asked. "Shut up, Dale. Your mouth will get us caught. But to answer your question, I decided to kill him. His mother doesn't know, but I can't wait to see the tears in her pretty blue eyes as I show her the tortured baby," the woman laughed.

"Wow you tortured him?" Dale asked in surprise.

"Why do you sound so surprised. That little boy was just born. All he did was cry, but I was curious if I could make him scream in pain. Turns out... I can," She smirked.

They finally left the hospital as if they were married and got into a decent looking car. She revved the engine and the car sped off into the distance.

Hotch finally got off the line. They were curious as to what was going on. They weren't sure if they were ready to hear it once they saw Hotch's expression.

"Hotch. Did they give you the results?" Emily asked carefully. She wasn't prepared for Hotch's glare. "Of course they did," Hotch said in a clipped voice.

"Well, who was it?" Morgan asked.

"JJ," Hotch said simply.

The team stared at him shock. Surely it couldn't have been JJ. She wouldn't let the man free. "No way," Emily said shaking her head. "Yeah, JJ wouldn't do that to Reid," Morgan said. "Especially if she-," Garcia stopped talking abruptly. "Especially if she what, Garcia?" Rossi asked noticing how she quickly looked back at her computer. "I was going to say especially if she had Reid be Henry's godfather," Garcia said softly. Rossi rose an eyebrow in suspicion, but didn't say anything. "The cameras caught a glimpse of her in the building," Hotch said sitting down.

"They are 100% sure that it was her," Hotch said. "But Will said she was up all night," Morgan disagreed. "But did Will fall asleep?" Hotch questioned. Morgan fell silent and Hotch got his answer.

"There are many ways this could've happened. She could've been threatened, held at ransom, told that they would kill Reid or Henry," Emily suggested. "You're right. I just figured she would've told someone as soon as she was free," Hotch said.

"What if she wasn't free. What if she's forced to not help in the case," Rossi said calmly. "Then Will should've said something," Morgan said. "Not if he doesn't know," Hotch said.

"We need to get to JJ," Emily said looking at Hotch. Her dark hair swaying slightly. Hotch stared at Emily for a brief second before nodding his head. "You're right. Morgan, you Rossi, and Garcia stay here. Emily, you and I will go to JJ's place," Hotch said. They all nodded and Emily and Hotch left to head over to JJ.

Hotch and Emily stepped in front of JJ's door. Hotch and Emily shared a brief glance before Hotch knocked on the door. They could hear someone running and a few seconds later Will opened the door.

"Hey are ya here for JJ?" Will asked with a frown.

"Yes we are, actually. Is she here?" Hotch asked.

"Um, no she just left actually," Will said with a frown, "Is there something wrong?"

"Depends. Did she tell you anything? Maybe about Spencer or a man named Brandon Dale?" Emily asked.

"No... Is there something going on that I need to be worried about?" Will asked.

"Can we come in?" Hotch said calmly. Will nodded and let them in. Emily smiled as she saw the playpen on the floor in plain view. They all sat on random furniture in the room.

"Do you know where JJ was all last night?" Emily asked slowly. Will looked at Emily in confusion before nodding.
"She was here. I remember 'cause Henry started crying and JJ decided to lull him to sleep. She didn't come back to bed after an hour, so I just got up and checked on her. She was pretty distraught so I just stayed with her 'til she told me to go back to bed. I was tired so I left. This morning, I asked her what was wrong and she just said she didn't feel good, so I told her not to go in today and she just nodded. She left out with Henry a couple hours ago," Will shrugged.

"You're not worried?" Hotch asked slightly bothered by Will's nonchalance. "Why would I be worried. She took self-defense classes. She can take care of herself," Will said with a nod of his head.

"Oh... Okay," Emily said with a small smile.

"Yeah, she'll be back later on today. I'll tell her you guys stopped by to check on her!" Will smiled as he got up and showed them to the door. Emily couldn't help feel as if he was kicking them out, but she didn't call him out on it.

When they made it back to the SUV, Hotch pulled out his cell phone. "What are you doing?" Emily asked. "I am going to call JJ," Hotch said easily.

By the fourth ring, she picked up.

"Did something happen?" JJ asked concerned. Hotch released a breath he didn't realize he was holding.

"Where are you?" Hotch questioned.

"I'm at the bureau. I dropped Henry off with his sitter. I thought Will needed the break. Where are you guys at? I thought we were going to meet back up here?" JJ asked.

"JJ, leave the bureau and head straight for the hospital. We need to talk," Hotch said sternly before hanging up.

"Why did you make it sound like she was in trouble?" Emily asked.

"If anyone was listening, they would think that we are not suspicious of anyone being framed. Also, it would get her to the hospital faster," Hotch explained. "Right, but what if they follow her?" Emily questioned and Hotch started driving. "We will discuss everything in Reid's room for sure," Hotch said and Emily nodded. She had to trust Hotch's judgment, because this is one of those cases where you need years of experience.

The lady in the basement screamed as she held her baby's body. "You lied to me! You told me we would be okay!" The woman screamed as tears ran down her face.

"I know. I just wanted you to do a good job. Now, you are of no use to me. You cry too much and you're rather boring. You're also not up to my level. I have my eyes on someone else," The woman sneered.

"Please, Jennifer!-"

"Sshh!" The woman soothed her gently.

"First of all, I'm not Jennifer. Second of all, you're pathetic. I just killed your baby and all you're worried about is your own life. You will hate your death," The woman laughed.

She pulled out a needle and slowly aimed it st the crook of the woman's elbow. The woman panicked,, but stilled as the fluid rushed through her veins. The woman watched as her victim's breathing became labored and finally in one scream of pain, she died.

"What killed her?" Dale asked. "Heart attack from an overdose," The woman said dryly.

"That's not very fun," Dale pouted, "Just like how I was told you were dead."

"Well, you were going to get caught eventually. I just didn't think they'd be stupid to keep you overnight. Oh well, and by the way. When they find her body, there will be a psychological effect on the members of the team," She shrugged.

"Why don't we just attack them?" Dale asked.

"Because psychological effects can last a life time," She smiled as she walked out of the room. "Don't touch her."

JJ made it to the hospital. She was worried beyond belief. Hotch sounded angry and she wondered if he was upset with her. She promised Will that she would take today off, but she couldn't do it if it meant sacrificing Reid. However, he doesn't even know what's going on with Spencer. She hated how Will felt about Spencer. She knew he got mad from time to time because she would spend a lot of her time with Spencer. Once again she was reminded on how a baby changes everything. She sighed and walked down the long corridor where she knew the team would be in Reid's room.

She entered slowly and noticed their pained expressions. "What happened?" JJ asked glancing over to where Reid laid. She didn't like having to work in the hospital room. She felt as if she was invading Reid's privacy. "William Reid was here," Morgan said. He decided this was the best way to answer her question. JJ frowned and looked at each member's face. They were guarded. "Did something happen?" JJ asked feeling rather on the spot. "Not really, no," Rossi said.

"JJ, I thought you were sick," Morgan accused. JJ was slightly taken aback by the obvious accusation. She was mad that Will lied to Morgan, but she knew not to say anything. "Um, I drove to the bureau. I was feeling a lot better. I think it was just tiredness," JJ said searching for the right words. Morgan nodded slowly. Nobody spoke to her. JJ was starting to feel as if they were hiding something from her. JJ looked at Garcia. Garcia smiled and JJ sat next to her.

"Hey, Pen," JJ smiled slightly. "Hey JJ, how's my baby boy?" Garcia asked. "He's getting bigger everyday. He's starting to keep a schedule," JJ stated happily. "Oh, that means more sleeping time for mommy and daddy," Garcia giggled. "You don't even know the half of it," JJ smirked.

"How's Reid. Did the doctor come in, yet?" JJ asked glancing to the pale man in the bed. Garcia shook her head. "No, not really. Nothings changed with him, which is good and bad." JJ cocked her head to the side in confusion. "It means he didn't get any worse, but he also didn't get any better," Garcia explained. JJ nodded in understanding. "I hope he wakes up soon. Then we can know what's going on with him for sure," JJ said softly. "I'm sure we all wish for the same thing. We just need to be strong for him," Garcia said to comfort her. "Um, Garcia?" JJ said shyly. "Can I talk to you...Privately?" She asked softly. She knows in the small room Morgan and Rossi could hear her, but she knew that they wouldn't say anything about her request. Garcia frowned and looked at JJ. "Please?" JJ said despairingly. Garcia nodded and stood. "I know the perfect place," Garcia said with a small smile. JJ smiled back and followed the technical analyst.

When they were finally in a secluded room the hospital staff set up for them, Garcia closed the door and faced JJ. "You needed to talk?" Garcia asked. JJ nodded. "It's, um, about... Spence," JJ admitted. Garcia looked at her with a Cheshire grin and pushed JJ down in a chair. "Speak or face my wrath," Garcia said eagerly. "Uh, I don't know, anymore, Garcia," JJ said nervously. "Oh, you know you can trust me," Garcia said hoping she could get JJ to talk. "I mean, it's not just Reid, but it's Will as well," JJ sighed finally giving in.

"Pray tell!" Garcia begged. "Will hasn't proposed to me, yet," JJ sighed sadly. Garcia frowned. "Well, maybe he hasn't thought of it yet?" She suggested. "No. He has. He asked Reid for his blessing," JJ smiled at the memory. Garcia gasped in shock and squealed. "You didn't think I needed to know this?!" Garcia exclaimed excitingly. "Well, I mean...I wasn't sure how to explain it. I wasn't even supposed to know," JJ said shyly. "Then how did you find out?" Garcia asked. "I sort of watched the entire exchange secretly," JJ admitted with a small giggle. Garcia's mouth dropped. "Oh you sneaky little demon!" She laughed. "I didn't get away with it completely. Spence knew I was watching. So long story short Reid had set rules for Will. I think he nearly scared Will into not marrying me. Spence pretty much said if Will broke any of the rules, he would make sure that Will's death was entirely legal," JJ said quietly. Garcia looked at JJ in shock. "Our Reid? Acting more like the sick-os we catch?" Garcia asked and JJ nodded in confirmation. "Yes, but that's only part of my point," JJ said. "Well, what's the rest?" Garcia asked enthralled with JJ's story. "Well, it's just that, Will and I seem to be drifting. However his way of making that up isn't exactly classy. He wants me to fake being sick, fake an emergency, or just plain quit. Garcia, I don't want to do any of those things. I haven't complained to anyone, because I really don't want to test Spencer's threat," JJ explained. "Well, talk to Will about it," Garcia said. "I try, but Will always says that he quit his job and moved to Virginia for us. He keeps saying that I should try harder, but I hate it when he brings Spence into this..." JJ paused feeling frustrated. "What do you mean by 'Brings Spence into this...'?" Garcia said with a small frown. "Like he always says, 'You don't mind hanging around Reid all day!' or when I say something about Spence he says 'If you love him so much, why don't you leave and move in with him?' I'm always so close to saying 'I'm sure it'll be ten times better than living with you.' I try to not get upset, because men do get upset when a girl continues to talk about another man, but Spence really is worth talking about. He does some of the funniest things naturally. Can't blame me for being entertained," JJ explained in a little tangent.

Garcia thought for a second, and looked at JJ with a cunning smile. "What?" JJ questioned slowly. "I'm not trying to make you mad, but I think you may have a little crush on our boy genius," Garcia said quietly. "Penelope! No! That was so many years ago! I don't even think he liked our first and only date!" JJ explained quickly. "If you didn't then why did you have to defend yourself with examples!" Garcia pointed out. "So, what? You're a profiler now?" JJ questioned. "No, I am just the Goddess of Love!" Garcia sang. "Garcia, I don't think I have feelings for Spence like that. Besides, he's with... Alex," JJ grumbled. "As much as I love the little girl, I must say-maybe you still have a chance!" Garcia smiled happily. "What chance? Did you not see Spencer practically dying in front of our eyes? Not to mention he doesn't even feel that way for me," JJ griped. "So, you just totally admitted that you're into our boy genius. Also, you still have to deal with Will," Garcia said while raising an eyebrow. "I don't know, Penelope. It's not all that easy. I don't know how Reid will react. Henry needs his father, and I need someone to be there for Henry when I'm called away on a case. Not to mention that co-workers can't exactly "go out" in the bureau," JJ sighed.

"Well, JJ, I must say, that Reid may be surprised, and the higher-ups doesn't have to know. I can babysit Henry when you are called away! Nobody has to know except the team," Garcia smiled happily at her brilliant plan. "Even, then. He has Alex, and I don't want to ruin his happiness for my selfish needs," JJ sighed. "Okay, okay, I see your point. Poor boy has bad timing. Now let's get back to the group before they get impatient on us," Garcia smiled. JJ nodded and headed out of the room.

A/N: SO now we learned some meat and potatoes on JJ's part... BUT who is the creeper woman chillin with Dale?! I'm guessing some people may be happy that I just didn't kill Henry and Have JJ get kidnapped. I really wanted it to appear that way for like ten seconds...until things became clearer!

Also OH SNAP! William Reid made an evil appearance. Answers shall be revealed in the next chapter. As for those who love Will... My bad for making him look like a liar... He just wanted some time with JJ..

Anywhozzz if you feel like it.. Review.. Or if there are any questions and what nots! I tend to fix mistakes when they are found! I'll post more in the next few hours! (Or later on today!) I have very big plans and very little time! I plan to have this story completed before I start classes this fall! That means ... I need to get to typing!
