Temporary Parents

Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader

A/N: hi bbs, it’s been so so long & I’m sorry :( Here’s a longer fic that’s been in the drafts for YEARS NOW LMAOOOOO (disclaimer: this was written before my like 3 yr hiatus, no proof read, just straight posted for y'alls enjoyment) Giving some type of dad vibes I think might've been a request, but enjoy & slide me some feedback ! <3

Gun drawn, Spencer cautiously entered the house and into the child’s bedroom. Y/n followed closely behind, her gun out, ready for any outcome. Hearing a shuffle coming from the closet, y/n grasped Spencer’s bicep to get his attention before silently signaling to the closet. Spencer slowly approached the closet and whipped the door open.

“FBI! Put your hands up!”

Regret instantly hit Spencer as he holstered his gun when he saw a crying child crawl out of the closet. It was Jayden, Jordan Richard’s five-year-old son. 

Y/n holstered her gun and approached him, arms outstretched. “Hey there, you don’t have to be scared anymore, we’re the good guys,” she quietly explained as she motioned for Jayden to come closer to her.

He hesitated and looked between y/n and Spencer before running into y/n’s arms. After they left the house, Y/n brought him to the ambulance in the driveway to get checked out, while the team talked about the next steps.

They had been called to a small town in Virginia to investigate a series of families murdered with the same m.o. The team had gone to arrest the unsub, Jordan Richard, well the person they originally thought was the unsub. What they didn’t expect was for the alleged unsub and his family to have been the next victims. This meant the real unsub was still out there and the team was back to square one.

The only miracle was that the unsub had gotten sloppy and overconfident that he had just assumed that “missing” Jayden must’ve been sleeping over someone else’s house. Now this child would be the unsub’s demise.

Y/n was about to go join the team when Jayden grabbed her hand, silently pleading for her not to leave them. She gave him a small smile and sat down next to him in the ambulance.

“He’s lucky. There are no signs of any physical abuse,” the EMT said while placing a small band-aid on Jayden’s finger.

“Y/l/n, we need to take Jayden to headquarters and see if he can remember anything that can help us,” Hotch said before getting into one of the SUVs.

Y/n explained to Jayden the plan to head back to headquarters for the day. He didn’t seem to entirely understand the plan, except that he would get to spend the day with y/n, so he nodded and followed her into the SUV.

When they finally arrived at the bullpen, y/n led Jayden into one of the lounges. JJ came in to drop off some drawing supplies and snacks to help him feel more comfortable. The two of them spent the rest of the day attempting to get Jayden to open up about anything he might remember from last night. To everyone’s disappointment, Jayden was still too traumatized and only responded with nods and shakes of his head. Penelope had tried to find out if Jayden has any other family near, but she couldn’t find any. The social worker permitted Jayden to stay with y/n and Spencer, given that he’s a key witness and potentially still in danger. Actually, he wouldn’t let go of y/n’s leg when the social worker tried to take him for the night, so the social worker permitted him to stay with them until the case was solved. 

Once the three of them arrived at Spencer and y/n’s shared apartment, Spencer quickly went to childproof the guest bedroom. After tucking him in, y/n slid into bed next to Spencer, his arms instantly wrapping around her. 

“You know you always wanted kids,... so here you go,” y/n joked.

“I guess you could say this is our trial period for parenting,” Spencer laughed and placed a kiss goodnight to y/n’s forehead.

The multiple late nights and early mornings for this case, had tired them out so much that soon they were bother knocked out for the night. So knocked out, that neither felt Jayden crawl into bed with them. 

The next morning, y/n rolled over in bed to find that it was empty. She didn’t plan to leave her comfortable bed, until she heard Spencer scream. Running out of bed, she stopped once she saw Spencer covered in some type of food, Jayden no where to be seen. 

“Spence what happened to you?” Y/n laughed, walking into the kitchen.

“JAYDEN THREW HIS YOGURT AT ME!”

“What’d you do to get him to do that?” She teased, looking around the apartment for Jayden. Y/n eventually found him watching tv in the guest room.

“Absolutely nothing. All I did was join him at the table and the next thing I knew he launched his yogurt at me. This is my favorite sweater too,” Spencer pouted, trying to wipe off the yogurt.

“It could be because the first time you met, you had a gun pointed at him. He could still feel threatened by you,” y/n sighed before grabbing Spencer a new shirt.

“By the end of this case, I swear to you, Jayden and I are gonna be best friends,” Spencer promised. 

Y/n didn’t doubt it one bit. She knew Spencer would be the best dad in the world. 

The next two days had gone quick, Spencer and y/n stayed with Jayden to keep him safe and were there once he was comfortable enough to give them more information about that night. 

Y/n had left Spencer and Jayden alone in the apartment, while her and Emily checked out some leads. She hoped, the two of them wouldn’t tear apart the apartment by the time she got back. They’d seemed to be getting along together the past two days.

After checking out the leads, y/n headed back to her apartment to check on Spencer and Jayden before heading back to headquarters. She mentally braced herself for whatever she would be walking into as she unlocked the apartment door. To her surprise, she heard Jayden and Spencer laughing together. As she entered the apartment, she saw Spencer and Jayden running and ducking behind furniture with nerf guns. She giggled at the scene in front of her.

Suddenly, she was hit in the forehead by a foam dart. Y/n looked in the direction the dart came from to see a guilty Spencer emerge from behind the kitchen counter.

“Sorry love, I thought you were Jayden,” Spencer said as he jogged to the door to greet her with a kiss.

“I see you two have been keeping yourselves entertained,” y/n laughed as she went to go sit on the couch. Spencer followed, wrapping an arm around her. 

Jayden finally emerged from their bedroom, nerf gun in one hand and a piece of paper in his other. He ran and jumped onto the couch in between Spencer and y/n. Y/n examined the paper Jayden had handed her. It seemed to be a drawing of a logo.

“This looks familiar Spence, like a company logo,” y/n said as she handed the drawing to him.

“T-th-the scary m-man,” Jayden said, pointing to a mean stick figure he’d drawn on the bottom corner of the paper.

“Is this how you know the man who hurt your family?” Y/n softly asked. Jayden quickly nodded his head before jumping off the couch and running into the other room.

“This might just be what we need to finally catch the unsub,” y/n exclaimed as she gave Spencer a quick kiss and ran out the door to tell the team.

Spencer wanted to be there with y/n and the rest of the team when they went to go arrest the unsub, but he knew he had to stay and keep Jayden safe. A small part of him was actually happy he stayed, that way he’d be able to spend more time with Jayden before a foster family takes him.

“Ok kid, how do we convince my wife to start trying for our own kid?”

Halloween

Spencer Reid x Fem! Reader

A/N: Here’s a cute lil fic w/ scared reader based off one of my first & LAST experience with a haunted house. I tried to get it posted by Halloween but one day later doesn’t hurt. I hope you enjoy & pls slide some feedback <3

“BOO!” Spencer yelled as he jumped up from below y/n’s desk, wearing a monster mask. He’d been crouched under her desk, waiting all morning to scare his girlfriend.

“Oh hellllll no,” y/n yelped slapping Spencer, not realizing it was her boyfriend under the mask, as she winded up for another attack.

“Ouch y/n it’s me,” Spencer whined, removing his Halloween mask and rubbing his now red cheek.

“Damn the kiddo got you good,” Rossi laughed as he had watched the whole event happen.

“I warned you that this wasn’t going to be a good idea,” Penelope grimaced as she came out of the break room, coffee in hand.

“Omg Spence! Are you okay? What made you think scaring me was a great idea?” Y/n said, worry laced in her voice as she approached him.

“Because it’s Halloween.....,” Spencer softly said, a hint of guilt in his reply. Y/n inspected his cheek, feeling embarrassed. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a big kiss on the cheek hoping it would help distract him from the fact he just got slapped.

“Scare me again and you’ll be dressing up in a couples costume by yourself tomorrow night,” y/n whispered in his ear before pulling away.

“Wait that is not possible for, me, one person to dress as up in a couple’s costu-,” Spencer paused suddenly realizing what y/n’s threat meant.

“Okay you two, let’s get started on all this paperwork if we wanna make it to the festival on time,” JJ reminded them as she headed to her desk.

Penelope had proposed that the team bring their families to the annual Halloween fair, the day before Halloween. The team had all agreed, since they weren’t away on a case for once. This was going to be Spencer and y/n’s first Halloween together, as a couple. Spencer hs been counting down to this, down to the millisecond, he was going to be celebrating his favorite holiday with his favorite people.

After everyone had quickly finished their work for the day, they all went their separate ways until they would meet at the festival in a couple hours. Y/n had riden with Spencer back to his apartment. She had bought matching Halloween socks and orange sweaters for both of them, just for this day. Y/n knew how much Spencer loved Halloween and wanted to add her own little twist to it.

A couple hours later, Spencer and y/n were the last to arrive at the fair. Y/n had forced Spencer to take so many pictures of their matching outfits. Despite Spencer’s loud objections and whining, he soon grew to secretly enjoy it.

“Omg. You two even are matching for this. My heart is absolutely fluttering for you too,” Penelope gushed, noticing the couple heading towards the group.

After the team argued about what they should all do first, Hotch proposed that they split up in families and pairs to do an activity before they meet back up for donuts and cider.

Once the team split to check out the fairs different attractions, Spencer and y/n began exploring. Y/n hadn’t realized that Spencer had suddenly stopped walking until she noticed no one was responding to her. She stopped in her tracks to turn and find Spencer, only to see the sparkle in his eyes as he gazed upon something. When her eyes saw what was at the end of his line of sight, y/n instantly paled. If this was a normal barn, y/n would be running to it in a heartbeat to play with all the farm animals. However, the light up sign saying Haunted Barn, had her ready to run the opposite direction.

Spencer turned to y/n and put on his best puppy dog eyes and pouty face he could and begged,” Can we please go in the haunted barn?”

“Nope. Nope. A million times no,” y/n firmly said as she turned the opposite direction and began to flee. She’d rather eat dirt than go in there.

“I know you have never been in one before, so I think we should try it. You are the one who always says it is important to try new things,” Spencer reasoned as he caught her by the waist to keep her from leaving him. He pulled y/n into his chest and tilted her head up until both their eyes met. Y/n instantly softened in his embrace, mentally cursing herself for being so weak to his touch. “I promise, I will protect you from anything. Okay?”

Y/n sighed,” If you don’t, I’ll be the one to kick your ass.”

Spencer couldn’t contain his excitement as he peppered y/n’s face in kisses. Y/n knew this small little sacrifice would be worth it, if she gets to see Spencer this happy.

Once they reached the barn’s entrance, y/n instantly felt her nerves sky rocket. She grabbed onto Spencer’s hand, interlocking their fingers. As they entered, the sudden evil cackling from the speakers from one of the props, scared y/n straight into the air. Spencer chuckled, giving her hand a small squeeze. Y/n tried to calm herself down, moving even closer to Spencer and using her free hand to grip onto his bicep as they continued through the barn.

After what felt like centuries, they finally emerged from the barn. Spencer glowing like his usual Greek God looking self, a huge smile on his face like a kid in DisneyLand. Y/n, on the other hand, was a literal mess.

As they approached the group at their meeting point for donuts and cider, the team all instantly took notice to the young couple’s opposite appearances.

“Damn lil mama, who’d you get into a fight with?” Morgan joked, immediately calling out y/n’s disheveled look.

“Actually, Y/n fought one of the fair workers in the haunted house,” Spencer proudly said, placing a kiss to her temple as he attempted to smooth down the pieces of her hair sticking up in all different directions.

“I warned all of them not to touch me, or else they were going to catch these hands,” y/n mumbled as she fixed her sweater.

“That’s my girl!” Emily praised, giving y/n a quick-high five.

“We all saw what happens when she gets scared this morning. You got a nice little red mark to remind you,” JJ said as she gestured towards the red mark on Spencer’s cheek.

Rossi chuckled, jokingly rolling his eyes.

“You mean to tell me that you can fight some of the country’s worst criminals, but a ‘spooky’ little scarecrow jumps out at you and it’s over?”

Just me showing up from out of nowhere to drop a fic 🥰

Half Awake

Spencer Reid x Fem! Reader

A/N: helloooooo, I’m so sorry I haven’t posted a fic in a couple weeks :( I just started pharmacy school this Sept. & I had to focus on transitioning from my lazy summer self to my school grind self. Anyways, I’ve always thought of how I/Reader would react to absurd times the team is called to a case. I hope you enjoy it & pls slide me some feedback :)

Y/n’s peaceful sleep was interrupted when she heard Spencer’s phone ring. She knew what this dreaded phone call meant, a case. Especially if they were being called in the middle of the night, that meant it was important.

Y/n felt instantly cold as Spencer released her from his warm, loving embrace to turn and answer his phone. “Hello?” Spencer groggily answered, sitting up in the bed. Y/n rolled away from Spencer, burying herself underneath the blankets hoping this was just a random call. ”Yeah, she’s with me. We’ll be there in 20 minutes,” Spencer looked over at y/n’s sleeping form, “Actually make that 30.”

After hanging up, y/n felt the bed shift once again as Spencer leaned over and whispered into, or at least what he thought was y/n’s blanket covered ear, “Y/nnnnnnnn, I know you’re awake, we got a case.”

“Nooooo, tell them they’ll survive one case without us,” y/n whined.

“C’mon you know the team needs us. I promise that you can sleep on the jet ride there,” Spencer sighed.

Y/n slowly peaked her head out of the blankets and turned towards Spencer. “Only if you promise that I get to cuddle with you on the jet.”

A giant grin appeared on Spencer’s face, he always looked forward to their jet cuddles. He leaned over and covered y/n’s sleepy face in tiny kisses. 

Y/n giggled, tilting her head up to plant a quick kiss to his lips before pushing him off of her. “If we don’t separate now, the team will have to leave without us.”

After running around Spencer’s apartment to get ready, y/n and Spencer entered the bullpen exactly 30 minutes after he had gotten off the phone with Penelope. Leave it to Spencer to know how to perfectly time their arrival.

“Good morning sunshines,” Morgan teased as he saw them walk in. The team chuckled at the young couple’s opposite appearances. Spencer was wearing his usual sweater and vest combo, while y/n was dressed in a sweatshirt and sweatpants. Y/n was even wearing her glasses, which the team rarely saw. She was glad that the dress code was a little more relaxed in cases like these.

“How can you be so energetic right now,” y/n groaned, leaning into Spencer to balance her exhausted body. Spencer already had his arm wrapped around her waist, but instinctively tightened it scared she’d fall over. He quickly placed a light kiss to her temple before hearing the familiar clicks of high heels enter the bullpen.

“I’m sorry my sweets for calling you all here at this time. This case is just uber crazy and so intense that Washington PD is requesting your presence ASAP,” Penelope explained, giving them all an apologetic smile.

“We got a long flight ahead of us, so you all can catch some sleep and we’ll brief before we land. Wheels up in 10,” Hotch announced as he surveyed the crowd of tired looks from the team.

Y/n immediately plopped onto the nearest couch on the jet. Spencer had offered to load her bag for her, so she could get a head start on catching some sleep. She tried to settle into a comfortable position to doze off, but something was missing. As tired as she knew she was, y/n just couldn’t get comfortable on this couch. This was puzzling because y/n definitely remembered the many times she’d fallen asleep on it.

It wasn’t until she spotted her favorite curly headed person filing into the jet behind the rest of the team that she soon realized why. Spencer had thought that y/n would’ve been knocked out in a deep sleep by now.

While the team was settling into their spots on the jet, Y/n perked up, making eye contact with Spencer and patting the space next to her on the couch for him to sit. He couldn’t hide the loving look that he was expressing for y/n when he realized she couldn’t fall asleep without him.

The second Spencer sat next to y/n and opened his arms up for her, she instantly snuggled up to him. It hadn’t even been ten minutes before he heard her soft snores in his ear. Soon Spencer felt himself drifting off to the sound of her quiet snores and the jet’s engine.

“Hey kid, y/n is drooling on you.”
