Disclaimer: Criminal Minds and all its characters belong to CBS. I own nothing. Feel free to read and review, but please don't copy.

AN- Please, please, please somebody write a Reid centric story that does not contain romance or switch to focus on another character part way through. I'm begging here. There has been precious little Reid in the show as well as on the site (except for Romance or extreme torture). Please help this writer out by giving me something to read. I'm starving for stories to read.

Previously on Criminal Minds- "Bye!" Reid hollered, waving at the doctor's retreating back. Sticking his lollipop back in his mouth, the little boy laid his head on Hotch's shoulder and smiled as he thought about the fun to come.

Reid and Henry's heads shot up at the creak of the front door. Seeing Will walk in, the two boys leapt up, raced over and jumped into the man's waiting arms. "WILL!" "DADDY!" they hollered, giggling as the Cajun spun them around. "AGAIN! AGAIN!"

"You've got it little buddies!" Will agreed, twirling the two around again.

"I hope y'all are planning on giving me the same treatment." Dr. Sawyer commented, walking up behind the laughing trio. "Cause I've gotta say that looks like a lot of fun."

"DW. SAWYEW!" Spencer hollered. He reached out to his friend, giggling as he was lifted high up over the doctor's head and spun around and around. By the time the youngster was set on his feet he was so dizzy that he staggered to the side a couple of steps before falling on his bottom. "Fat was awesome!" he exclaimed.

"Me tuwn! Me tuwn!" Henry yelled.

"Alrightie" Josh said. He picked the toddler up, airplaned him around, and then set him back on his feet. "How's that, Hoss?"

Henry toppled over with a squeal. Placing his hands on the floor, he attempted to get back up only to roll over instead. Snickering, the littlest Jareau tried again. This time he managed to make it all the way to his feet before flopping on his behind once more. Deciding to try a different tactic, Henry crawled over to the physician, grabbed a hold of the man's pants leg, and pulled himself up. "Henwy fly 'gain?" he asked.

"Su…"

"You can fly again Henry. Daddy will fly you all the way to the bathroom to wash your hands." Will informed his son as he scooped him up.

Spencer gazed hopefully up at Dr. Sawyer. "Dw. Sawyew tate Weid to wash hands?" he sweetly asked.

A dimpled grin spread across the physician's face. "It'd be my pleasure." He replied. He picked the profiler up and laid him on his tummy across one shoulder. "Come on Little Britches! Air Force Henry is getting away!" Making putting noises, Josh flew his tiny co-pilot through the room and down the hall.

"I'm telling y'all the truth. That old hag has had it out for me since I was knee high to a grasshopper." Josh told the gathered group. He took a sip of his tea and then continued. "She took any and every opportunity to get me in trouble. She even had her own spy; a little girl named Darlene. The girl was the biggest tattle tale this side of the Mississippi. She'd tell on you for the least little thing. I swear she even told on me and my friend Evan once because we were and I quote, breathing on her."

"Wewe you?" Spencer asked, curiosity sparkling in his eyes.

"Was I what? Breathing on her?" Dr. Sawyer replied. He shrugged. "I could have been I guess. We were in line heading somewhere so there's no telling. I just know I wasn't doing it to her on purpose so there was no reason for her to rat me out."

"Right because you were a perfect little angel" JJ scoffed.

Josh ducked his head. "Point taken" he conceded.

"The BAU Christmas feast is finally ready!" Rossi announced as he walked into the dining room carrying a tray with an enormous turkey on it. Will, Prentiss, Morgan, and Garcia followed with dishes, platters, and pans of various sizes and shapes.

Reid smacked his lips. "Fat smells good!" he complimented.

"Uh huh" Henry seconded. "Yummy!"

"Thank you my boys" Dave replied, setting the turkey at the head of the table. "Let's hope it tastes as good as it smells."

"It will." Penelope confidently stated. "After all you and Will cooked it and you two are the best chefs on the…"

Everyone froze at the sound of knocking.

"Y'all expecting someone else?" Josh inquired.

"No" Hotch answered before standing and dropping his napkin onto the table. "Excuse me for a moment."

The family and friends stared at the doorway anxiously as they waited for the BAU leader to return. The agents strained to hear what was going on in the other room. They sat on the edge of their chairs ready to jump up and race to their leader's aide if needed.

Thankfully, their protection wasn't needed. Hotch returned moments after he left with a huge smile on his face and two tall younger men in tow. "Everyone, I'd like you to meet Dean and Sam Winchester. They're friends of Gabe's."

Dave raised an eyebrow. "You mean THE Winchester brothers we've heard so much about?" he asked as he got up to make room for their guests.

"The one and only" Dean replied with a smirk.

"Gabe told us you had invited us to dinner and that we should accept your invitation." Sam filled in.

"More like he popped up and told us to get our as…OW! What was that for?" Dean growled.

"Dean" Sam softly said, discretely motioning to the two boys staring wide eyed at them.

"Oh, sorry kiddos" Dean apologized. He shifted uncomfortably. "So anyway like Sammy said Gabe told us in his own little way that this was one invitation we shouldn't refuse so here we are."

"Well we are more than happy to have you two gorgeous hunks of men." Garcia gushed. She patted the chairs on either side of her. "You come right over here and have a seat now."

"Yes ma'am" Dean replied, waggling his eyebrows.

Sam rolled his eyes but followed his brother to their chairs. After taking a seat, he looked around at the group of strangers. "So, ummm, you're…"

"Oh my goodness! Where are my manners?" Garcia squealed. "I'm Penelope, and this is Emily and Morgan." she introduced. "And the sharp dressed man at the end of the table is Rossi. The man that answered the door is Hotch and that's his nephew Reid beside him and Dr. Sawyer next to him. The beautiful blonde is JJ. And that's her husband Will and her son Henry."

Sam nodded. "I'm Sam and that's my brother Dean." He greeted. "It's nice to meet you guys. We've heard a lot about you."

"All of it good I hope." Emily muttered.

"Well…"

"That's what I figured." Prentiss huffed.

"Hey come on! No frowny faces!" Garcia admonished. "This is a celebration, remember?"

"Baby Girl's right" Morgan seconded. "Why don't we finish our little discussion?"

"Yeah! I wanna heaw about Dw. Sawyew's pwants!" Spencer enthused.

"Me too! Me too!" Henry hollered.

"Okay" Josh agreed. "Let's see." He took a bite of his turkey. "How about the time I tried to get outta Bible School by pouring red ink on my arm?"

Spencer giggled. "Did it wowt?" he asked.

"It would have if I certain little tattle tale hadn't spilled the beans." Dr. Sawyer grumbled. "I thought my folks were gonna blow a gasket. Not only did my dad tan my hide, he made me write an apology letter to the teacher and read it in front of the whole class." He broke into a grin. "I got the little brat back though. See, she was this big candy fr-lover so I kind of accidently on purpose dropped this big ole bar of chocolate right where I knew she would find it. And she did. The goody two shoes gobbled the whole thing up just like I knew she would. Then I just sat back and waited for the fireworks to begin."

"Fireworks?" Morgan inquired.

"Oh man! You didn't!" Sam gasped, snickering when the doctor nodded. "Dude, that was low."

"Worked, didn't it?" Josh gloated. "After all her little bathroom breaks, she didn't dare tell on anybody again."

"Bathroom br…that chocolate bar was really Ex-Lax, wasn't it?" Morgan asked, putting two and two together.

"Yep" Josh answered.

Dean chuckled. "That's a good one but it's got nothing on my Nair shampoo prank." He bragged.

"Nair shampoo" Emily repeated. She glanced at Sam's luscious chestnut locks and then turned and gazed at Dean in horror. "You didn't!"

Dean gave the profiler a cheeky grin. "Oh yes I did. Right baldy!"

Sam nodded, turning beet red when the others laughed. "I paid him back for it a few weeks later. I waited till he was in the shower and then yelled fire at the top of my lungs." He explained. "Dean came racing out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and headed straight for the door which I was helpfully holding open. I waited for him to run past and then grabbed the edge of his towel before slamming the door shut."

"You, you mean you left him outside in his birthday suit?" Will questioned.

"Oh yeah" Sam responded, snickering.

"It wasn't funny, Sam" Dean grumbled. "I almost froze off my ba…"

Garcia swiftly covered the handsome man's mouth. "No course language in front of my little lambs." She lightly scolded.

Wanting to get in on the conversation, Spencer pasted on his best little kid confused face, turned to Hotch, and asked, "What did he almost fweeze off, daddy?"

Aaron looked down at the little prankster and sighed. "Eat Reid" he distracted.

"But, but what did he fweeze off?" Spencer repeated, enjoying putting his friend in the hot seat.

"His bottom Little Britches" Josh told the inquisitive youngster. "He almost froze off his bottom."

Reid and Henry burst out laughing at that bit of information. Their merriment was contagious and it wasn't long before everyone joined in. Once everyone calmed down they tucked back into their wonderful meal. The family and friends then spent the rest of their Christmas feast laughing and joking and swapping stories.
