Wow! Ya'll are so sweet! Really good reception for a first chapter! I'm so sorry this took so long! But I'm back! Well, here we go!
…
Reid's head was pounding, man, he thought, I need to take some Advil when I get out of bed. It took all of five seconds for Reid to realize he was no in bed, but on the floor…of the BAU…with the whole team standing around him…and…wait who's that? ….oh yah…
"He's out again!" a very concerned Morgan yelled.
Hotch just rubbed his forehead. He didn't understand why this girl was such a big deal to Reid…as far as he was concerned, Reid coped pretty well with most things as far as cases go…unless…
"Diana" Hotch said cautiously
Diana, who was looking down at Reid with a concerned expression, looked innocently up at Hotch and replied with a timid "yes?"
Hotch sighed, he supposed the only way to do this, was to get straight to the point "Diana" he began "is Dr. Reid your father?"
The whole team, who was previously concerned with the health of Reid, all looked up simultaneously at Hotch with expressions beyond shock
Morgan began to laugh "come on Hotch, Reid just turned thirty, this girl is like…12 or 13 at least!"
Rossi, however, kneeled down to Diana's level, and with a soft voice asked the scared child again "Diana, is that true?"
Suddenly Diana burst into tears and whispered "yes! I had nowhere else to go! My mom always told me my dad never knew! Bu-but I thought it would be ok if I came!"
By this time Reid was beginning to wake up again, and Morgan, who took notice of Reid regaining consciousness, looked at Diana and said "don't worry sweety, I promise Reid will gladly take you."
At this point, Reid was sitting up. Thinking about what he just heard, Reid felt a pang of fear shoot through him. A kid? He had just turned 30! 93% of men do not have children until age 35! Honestly, he didn't know if he could handle this.
Reid suddenly jumped up to his feet and mumbled "I'll be in the bathroom"
Diana looked down at her feet and her hand brushed through her hair
Morgan put a hand on her shoulder and said "he'll come around kid, he'll come around"
Hotch, on the other hand, nodded briefly and said "but first, we have a murder case, briefing in 5." And with that, he briskly walked away.
Diana sighed and said "This is going to be a long day"
The team couldn't have agreed with her more
Ok, ok, I know, not my best, but I have a really good idea where this is ending up! Anyways, sorry for my long break! And one night too many will be updated soon!
