FBI's Most Youngest

Chapter 2: Baby Reid? How's that possible?

They just stood there stunned. Their youngest was younger! But how? What it the toxin? The doctor told them he was just sick. So what the heck happened?

"What's wong?" Reid asked. They just looked at him. Did he not see that he was a two-year-old?

"Reid you realize you're two years old right?" asked Morgan. Reid nodded. He told them that when he woke up he put two and two together. Reid suddenly got dizzy and fell back on his butt. He forgot about his fever. Hotch picked him up and felt his forehead. Rossi handed Hotch a thermometer. Reid held it under his tongue. It beeped after 3 mins.

"What's it say Hotch?" asked Morgan.

"101.2" He replied walking over to the rocking chair. He sat down, settled Reid in his lap and started rocking. Rossi gave Reid some fever reducer. Fisting his eyes sleepily he leaned into Hotch. Hotch rubbed his back until he was asleep. Not wanting to leave him alone Hotch settled Reid on the couch. He placed pillows on the ground so if he rolled over he fell onto the pillows, not the floor.

"So what are we gonna do with him? He can't be on his own," said Morgan. They agreed Reid was too small now to be by himself. One of them would have to look after him until they catch the guy that did this to him. He also needed new clothes. Reid couldn't walk around in a giant oversized shirt and nothing else. Rossi, Morgan, and Emily went down the mountain to a small town to get some children's medicine and clothes for Reid. Hotch, JJ, and Garcia stayed behind and looked after Reid. They couldn't get over how small he was. He was so adorable! Too bad he was sick. Rossi and the others returned a few hours later with the stuff they needed.

When Reid woke up Morgan took the groggy boy upstairs and gave him a bath and put some summer Pyjamas on him. Reid ate a little lunch and let Morgan rock him back to sleep. They needed him gone, so they could show this one what a childhood was like.

That night they discussed who Reid would stay with and how he would work. At about 11 pm they went to bed, and Hotch put Reid in his bed. He didn't want Reid alone, especially with a fever. He settled on his chest and both slept peacefully through the night.
