7:20

There wasn’t a case just tons of paperwork from the various cases before. It was warm and sunny outside, so having to sit inside was complete and utter torchere. Everyone began to file in and start there work. Now it common around the work place that casual was ok as long as you also looked professional. A true look that could really only be pulled off by Derek Morgan himself. Others walked in dress pants blazers and such. Everyone looked and seemed professional. Boy genius himself was the last to walk through the door. A clip clop sound was followed behind him as he made his way to his desk. Messenger bag placed on the his desk as he began to walk to get his second cup of sugar with coffee that morning. The clip clop sound begun again. Morgan and JJ were talking when JJ’s eyes doubled in size.

“Um hey Spence, are your um are your toes painted??” 

Morgan could have broke his neck the way turned so fast. Indeed Spencer’s toes were painted, but it wasn’t just that. He was wearing boardwalk flip-flops. In a work place. Movement ceased in the building everyone turning towards Spencer. His face turned a slight read remembering the night before.

“Daddy!!! Daddy!!!!” His 4 year old daughter came rushing in. 

The way she was moving she could have ran through the couch to get to Spencer. He turned around to see his pride and joy running towards him hold 3 different nail polishes. Her mom, Y/n, wasn’t around anymore. She died in child birth. Meaning Spence became the mother and the father. He new exactly what was going to happen. She ran towards him with her new nail polish she got from a previous gift bag from a birthday party.

“Daddy can we paint our toes please please pleaseeeee?” He couldn’t say no. That would make his baby cry and he couldn’t bare to see that. He complied. 3 hours later Madeline’s hands and toes were done and Spence’s toes were done. His daughter begged him to let her paint his toes. She begged him to show his friends. Of course Spencer being a sucker for his daughter wore flip flops the next day to work.

“Spence! Pretty Boy!” Spencer looked up to find the gang surrounding him staring at his toes. Now this was the problem. Spencer didn’t tell anyone he had gotten married at 21 and that his wife died four years ago leaving Madeline Rose Reid. It was the only thing private he had left. He didn’t want to seem selfish, and honestly surprised no one knew. He couldn’t think of anything. He was officially stuck because he wanted to make his daughter happy.

“Uh.. um.. you know I think my phone is ringing I’m going to go take this outside.” 

With his awful, Spencer tried to leave and walk past Hotch. When he didn’t budge, Spencer knew he was stuck.

“Spence, man you have to tell us what’s going on man. Why are your toes painted.” Morgan forced the topic down his throat.

From everyone else’s point of view he look like he was choking. He thought he was saved by the bell only to find out who it was

“Madeline Rosa Reid!! You come back here this second!” 

Coming Home- Criminal Minds Imagine

Part 2 of New Home

Summary: No longer 15 years old and off to college, you make a surprise visit home to see your God father and the rest of the team.

You sat in the taxi your eyes on the photo in your purse. It was taken a few days before you had flew off to college. It was of the whole team, your family. The people who had taken you in and thought you everything they knew. They were smiling, even Hotch, Emily was crouched on the ground in front of Derek. You smiled at the jumper Spencer wore, you had bought it for him the Christmas before, the same with Derek’s shirt he was wearing.

Being Spencer Reid’s God daughter had meant that whatever you needed help with academic wise, he had you covered, which meant you excelled in school. That meant you had your choice pick of colleges, even top league colleges. You knew Spencer couldn’t have been more proud of you.

You sighed. You hadn’t seen him in over a month, sure you had talked and seen each other on webcam but you hadn’t been with him, or any of the team for that matter and you missed then. There was only so much you could see and say through a computer screen, and you missed all the bits you were missing out on.

The cab pulled up in front of the apartment. You climbed out and grabbed your bags from the trunk. ‘Thanks’ You smiled at the driver as you paid him. You looked up at the building knowing that the whole team was inside there. You had spoken to Rossi last night and he told you he’d leave the door on the latch so you could come in.

You were thankful they had fixed the elevator remembering last time you were hear and you had to walk all the way up those stairs, it would have been a chore with this suitcase. You felt your stomach flipping as you bounced on your toes watching the numbers count up to the floor you want. The smile permanent on your face. The box dinged and you almost ran out and down the hallway towards the white door.

Stopping outside you took a deep breath opening it as quietly as you could. Rossi was talking extra loud and laughing and you couldn't help the smile get bigger, he had heard you and was covering up the noise before the others could notice. You left your bag by the door and crept into the apartment. You stopped and looked at them as they crowded around the counter. Rossi smiled.

‘Not interrupting anything am I?’

Everything went silent and they all turned towards you eyes wide. ‘Not at all’ Rossi laughed. Spencer was the first to recover. ‘Y/n!’ He shouted a smile spreading across his face. ‘Hey’ You beamed as he rushed towards you. You held open your arms and he stooped picking you up in a bone crushing hug. You laughed as he spun you. ‘What are you doing here?’ Derek laughed doing the same when Reid put you down. ‘Well, I came to see my favorite people’ You smiled as Emily pulled you into a hug. ‘And you knew?’ He turned to Rossi as you wrapped your arms around JJ. 

Rossi laughed and nodded. ‘Spencer told her we were going to be here. She rang and asked if I would leave the door open for her’ Garcia swayed from side to side when she hugged you pressing kisses to your face. You giggled and swatted at her but she just laughed. ‘You knew she was home and didn’t tell me? I need to buy more food’ Spencer groaned. Hotch wrapped his arm around your shoulder and pressed a kiss to your head. ‘Good to have you back kiddo’ You beamed up at him.

You patted Spencer’s shoulder as you slipped in beside him by the counter. ‘We can go shopping tomorrow’ You smiled up at him and the wrinkle between his brows disappeared a smile replacing the frown. You reached across grabbing a glass of wine and taking a drink. ‘Hey’ Derek exclaimed taking it from you. ‘You’re underage’ He scolded. You smirked up at him. ‘What you gonna do, agent, arrest me?’ You cocked an eyebrow at him and he grumbled handing you back the glass. ‘Ah live a little’ He chuckled.

Spencer took the glass from your hand. ‘No, the brain continues developing until your mid-late twenties and drinking before it has fully developed can risk altering the structure and func-’ Emily groaned and grabbed the drink from him. ‘One drink won’t kill her, plus she’s in college, what do you think she does in her spare time?’ She handed you back the glass. You smiled and raised the glass at her taking another sip. Spencer just rolled his eyes and pretended not to see. In the last few years he was really nailing the whole Dad thing, especially with the rest of the team helping him.

You leaned across the counter. ‘What are we having it smells amazing’ You took in a deep breath. ‘I’ve been living off cheap noodles for the past two weeks’  You complained. ‘Why? Why aren’t you eating properly?’ Spencer jumped in his eye widening. You chuckled. ‘First, I’m in college,second, I wanted to surprise you’ You smiled and leaned your head against his shoulder and you heard him huff. ‘You shouldn't skip on your meals. What happened to the meal plan I drew up. It had all the necessary nutrients you needed’ Derek scoffed and laughed. ‘You made her  meal plan?’ Even Hotch chuckled a little at that.

You nodded at them and Garcia let out one of her famous massive laughs. ‘How long did you stick to that?’ JJ chuckled. ‘I’m obliged to say I still am’ And that caused them all to laugh again. ‘I don’t see what’s so funny, of course I sent her with a meal plan’ Spencer defended himself. Derek patted his shoulder. ‘Kid, easy knowing you did not get the full college experience’ Spencer frowned and you wrapped one of your arms around him. ‘My roommate was proper jealous though, I was always perfectly fed’ You smiled up at Spencer and a proud look covered his features. Emily raised an eyebrow at you and you made a face. She knew you were lying.

You laughed as Morgan remembered the time they had brought you to New York on a case. You had ended up getting lost while they were looking for the unsub. Spencer had arrived back at the hotel you were all staying in and freaked when he had realized you weren’t back. You had actually only been down the road in a café talking with some students about the college nearby. Spencer had tried ringing you but your phone was dead. He had freaked. Emily still teased him about it. He kept ranting about how you were dead, how the unsub had gotten you, completely forgetting that you did not fit the victimology.

You giggled. ‘Or-or the time Derek let me try use his gun’ At that the team had laughed. A few months after you had arrived you had been over at Quantico. The team had just come back from a case and Derek had the fantastic idea to let you shoot a gun.

You nodded and smiled up at him. ‘No’ Hotch shook his head. You looked up at him frowning. ‘Oh, come on Hotch, we’ll all be there’ Derek argued. Emily chuckled. ‘Come on, why not?’ Hotch crossed his arms. ‘She’s fifteen’ You quirked your eyebrow. ‘Wouldn’t it be safer if I knew how to use a gun? What happens if someone broke in when I was at home alone and I didn’t know how to aim? I’m only fifteen there’s no way for me to overpower anyone’ With that Hotch’s eyebrows unfurrowed. He frowned even more. ‘I know what you’re doing’ He grumbled. ‘But it’s working right?’ He just grunted and turned walking away. ‘Think that’s a yes’ Rossi smirked.

You had stood the way Derek showed you. He tilted your hands a little. ‘Okay, you should be looking down the length’ He muttered and you nodded. Pursing your lips you pulled the trigger. There was a loud bang and you jumped. The team laughed and you sent them a slight glare which only made them laugh more. Spencer reached out and patted your shoulder. ‘I was worse’ He smiled down reassuringly. You smiled up at him before looking back at the sheet at the end of the lane a new confidence inside you thanks to Spencer.

You chuckled. ‘I was so bad’ Rossi nodded. ‘It took you almost 20 minutes to even hit the sheet even’ You giggled. ‘But I’m an expert now’ You wrapped your hands around Spencer’s arm and laid your head on his shoulder. ‘Thanks to my favourite God Father’ Spencer laughed at you and reached over patting your hand laying his head on your shoulder. ‘WAIT’ Garcia screamed and jumped out of her seat. You both went to sit up. ‘No’ She screamed at you both. ‘Stay’ You giggled as she reached into her bag pulling out a camera. ‘For your collage board’ She bounced back over to you

You nodded and looked up at her as she stood across the table raising her camera. You had a massive board in your dorm above your bed. The team had spent a week on it seemingly making it for you before you left. It was full of photos from your life, they had gotten photos of your parents from when they were younger even to put on it. There was a few photos of the team when they were younger. Then there was you and your parents and then a lot of all of you.

The time they had taken you to the carnival and you had dragged Spencer on the bumper cars, he was so tall he looked so cramped that Derek had taken a photo, it was a little shaky from him laughing so much. There was the time Hotch had thought you how to drive. JJ had captured the look of pure horror on Hotch’s face as you drove. There was more of the team just sitting around relaxing, there was one of them on the plane, in the bullpen, there was a few of Penelope in her office, and then them working a case or two. Then there was them just being them, one or two of you all out for dinner, one you had asked the waiter to take, another of you all just hanging out in JJ’s with Will and Henry.

There was Rossi at a book promotion in a little bookstore in Chicago. He had brought you and Derek along and you had gone to visit his family. There was another photo of you and them. Then there was a few of you with Spencer's Mom. You liked her, she was really sweet.

Your favourite one was the one of Thanksgiving last year. It was taken the day after when you all came back and decided to have your own thanksgiving. It was you all sitting in the conference room smiling widely with food covering the table. You were perched on Spencer’s lap and Derek had his arms wrapped around Garcia as she laughed at something he had whispered to her. 

It was in the centre of the board and slightly bigger than the rest of them, they knew it was your favourite one, you had it on your nightstand at home.

You sat with your knees hugged into your chest a cup of tea in your hands. A blanket wrapped around your shoulder. ‘Is there a reason your home?’ Spencer’s voice came from your left. You looked up from the window towards him. He stood in a plaid pants and a white top. His hair was getting longer now, again. ‘I wanted to see you all, I missed you’ You told him as he rubbed his eyes walking over to you. ‘I didn’t wake you did I?’ You asked remembering your rush to the kettle as it began to whistle.

Spencer shook his head and sat across from you. ‘We haven’t been here in a while’ Her nodded to the seat. ‘Yeah, I remember the first time we did’ You smiled and he nodded. ‘It was your first night here, you couldn’t sleep’ He muttered. ‘Yeah, every time I closed my eyes I could just see it’ You whispered His head shot up. ‘You never told us that’ You shrugged. ‘You guys helped me deal with it, even though you never noticed’ You gave him a find smile and took a sip of your tea.

He nodded but kept his inquisitive stare on you. You let out a long sigh. ‘I decided I was coming home after that case Derek ended up in the hospital’ You told him with  shrug knowing he didn’t exactly buy your first answer. It was true but it wasn’t the real story. ‘It’s just, you guys are my family. You’re all I have and I know you do a dangerous job but it really hit me then’ Spencer nodded understandingly. ‘I just needed to come home and wrap my arms around you know you were okay, I just needed to know my family was okay’ You shrugged.

Spencer smiled. ‘I needed to come home and tell you all I loved you and see you with my own two eyes’ Spencer stood from the chair and walked over to you. ‘We’re okay, and we love you too. You’re our family too’ He bent and wrapped his arms around you. You smiled leaving down the cup. You stood and wrapped your own arms around him burying your face in his chest. ‘I love you all too, you’re the best family anyone could ask for’ You whispered.

A week later the whole team was there to see you off on the plane. You groaned as they tried deliberately to embarrass you in the middle of the airport. Derek especially. ‘That’s my flight’ You jumped up with a relieved smile and Derek chuckled pleased with himself. You turned to them giving them a serious look. ‘You all promise me you’ll be careful yeah?’ They sobered up a little. ‘Of course we will’ JJ smiled with a nod. ‘We always are’ Emily took your hand. You gave Derek a look and she laughed. ‘Most of us are’ The team chuckled slightly

Derek just shrugged and wrapped his arms around you. ‘I ain’t ever leaving ye kiddo, remember that’ You smiled and wrapped your arms around him too. ‘Good’ You muttered. ‘Group hug’ Penelope giggled. You groaned as they all began wrapping you. Hotch groaned but did it anyway. ‘I love you guys’ You muttered. ‘We love you too’ You heard them chorus. You let out a happy sigh and closed your eyes relaxing into the hug.

This was it, this was where you felt whole again. Coming home was a good idea, this was your home. And these people were your family. The best family you could get.

I’m so sorry that this wasn’t up earlier, I broke my laptop earlier in the week and haven’t been able to connect to the internet. 

BUT I finally got a new laptop

So.... I’M BACK!!!

If u haven't noticed yet, i am a woman of many opinions. And guess what i have a new theory/ opinion that i need to share. It's about criminal minds to be more specific about the relationship between Spencer Reid and Maeve in season 8 (SPOILER WARNING).

So in 8x10 of criminal minds, spencer said that Maeve wanted to meet him and that he doesn't care what she looks like because she is already the most beautiful girl to him. Here the clip from youtube:

And folks when I tell u this boy got me blushing by saying this, because its so uncommon that guys think u r beautiful no matter what... especially as a chubby girl who's been bullied most of her life, stuff like what spencer said just does things to u. And believe me i know what i'm talking about.

Anyway back on track. The line from spencer made me blush and mad at the same time, because this and the relationship with maeve had been so much more meaningful when it really didn't matter what maeve looks like. And don't get me wrong, i like maeve and i love the relationship between spencer and her but look a her.

she is a very beautiful and in fact very skinny white girl. and this is not meant in any body shaming way, i think she played the role of maeve very well. But folks as a chubby girl i am hurt whenever a show gives the opportunity for a female character to be not conventionally beautiful but still chooses the saves option. With the sentence from spencer "I don't care what she looks like, she is already the most beautiful girl to me" the show Producers had the opportunity to create an unconventionally beautiful maeve. Do i make sense? Like instead of choosing a skinny, white woman with long hair, they could have chosen and chubby, black woman with short hair (for example). This would just underline the sentence from spencer in 8x10 and it would show how much spencer doesn't care about the looks of women. But now it's like "No wonder genius boy doesn't care about her looks when she is that pretty even in society's eyes" yk? This ist just something i can't stop thinking about... i would have like it more, especially since the opportunity was given and different body types/ black representation is very important (at least in my eyes). In my opinion this would've make the relationship even more special and so uncommon and beautiful... idk just a thought. Could be wrong though.

Let me know that you think about this and whether or not my rambling made any sense.

ANYWAY i wish y'all a marvelous day, kissies!
