Better Now (Spencer Reid)

Remembering

2 Hours Later

Marcus POV

They tried to split us I wouldn't let them. I didn't even let them take Deklan when they told me they would contact his aunt. He slightly recoiled at the mention of her and I wasn't letting any of my babies near someone who made them do that just by mentioning them. I think the FBI agents that are here noticed as well because they looked at each other in suspicion.

Now the kids and I are sat in a pretty big room at the hospital Cindy, Jack, and Eliza are laid in beds after being checked more thoroughly than the rest of us as they were the ones that were hurt today. Well other than my neck but I just said it's an old bruise they don't need to worry about that right now. They also have the little mermaid as she's been called in one of those beds they put newborns in and there are still nurses and a doctor surrounding her. That is where my gaze is currently held instead of on the agent trying to speak to me Derek I think he said his name was.

"Hey, yoo-hoo,-""Oh for God's sake" then there was a body blocking my view. I stood abruptly and tried to look past the old dude that's seems to have lost his fucking mind but like I said malnourished since 9. So instead I tried to move around him but he moved with me. I knew the kids were scared now because he was now also blocking most of their views of me as well as mine of them. "What got something to say. Well spit it out." "Gideon!"

As I was gonna open my mouth and tell this fucking whack job to move he suddenly buckled and tried to reach out to stabilize himself but I sidestepped his attempt allowing me to see Rickey standing behind him.

I knew he was about to get in trouble so I scooped him up and walked him to Cindy's bed and he was then promptly cradled in his arms and surrounded by everyone else as they too moved with me and glared at the old dude on the ground.

This skinny kid helped him up as that Derek dude turned to us and began shouting "Hey I don't care how mad you get you don't knock people over!"
"Don't yell at him yell at your asshole friend" Jack shouted from his bed.
"Language" I said in passing.
"I didn't knock him over gravity did I just kicked him"
"Language? Your gonna reprimand him on cussing but not him for kicking a Federal Agent." I looked at the agent like he was dumb didn't they say they were the ones that can read a person's behavior. Then they should know not seeing me or what was happening caused them to panic and think I was being hurt. I turned to Rickey to prove a point. "Thank you for trying to protect me little prince but you didn't have to he didn't hurt me" "Well not yet but what about when he did. They always do especially in corners. Why would I wait for him to hurt you when I could make him stop now. We aren't stuck their anymore so we don't have to follow they don't fight back rule anymore right?" He asked genuinely confused. "You have a point prince and your right we don't have to follow those bad rules anymore." "Really!" Jeremy shouted. "So we can eat right now if we wanted to?!" I looked at him sadly forgetting the point I was trying to make but not becoming unaware of the eyes on us. "Yeah dragon you can eat right now. Rachel where's the food bag?" "Over there" she pointed and I grabbed it opening it and handing something to everyone.

The doctors finally finished their check up and cleaning of the new baby. Speaking of new baby," hey Cindy what are you gonna name her?" The children turned to her in excitement "Yeah Cindy what are you gonna name her" "yeah" " oh you should name her Dani"" No she should be named lilly" " Nuh-uh what about jack" "that's a boy's name silly" " so it's still a good name" "you guys" Cindy gets out through her giggles "I already have a name for her. Ariel." "Like the little mermaid? That's so cute!"

During their debate I finally gave my attention to the agents "Bring me 87 full sheets of paper and some really good colored pencils."
"Excuse me." The dark haired lady, Elle said.
"Well you wanna know all of whom you arresting right? I gonna draw them for you all of them" "But first your gonna wanna go to the address *address* before the Stewart's leave. They travel a lot as is I'd hate to see how they do on the run." Most of them leave immediately. Only the skinny kid, who has yet to introduce himself and the blonde lady, Jennifer, are left.

I guess I'm not the only one who made that astute observation because, " hey you skinny kid what's your name?" Cindy practically demands in her heavy New York accent that she surprisingly hadn't lost over the ten years she's been away. She's also the only one of us who can un-ironicly call someone a 'skinny kid' being post pregnancy and all."M-me? Oh I'm Doctor Spencer Reid." "Doctor?" Rickey says with an attitude. And I could she the man's self-confidence begin to shake. "Y-y-yeah um I uh-" "Watch the attitude Rickey" I said as a warning. "I have 3 PhDs so doctor" the good doctor finishes "Sorry I didn't mean to hurt your feelings sir." "Three PhDs does that mean your smart like Marcus" Eliza asks timidly. "I'm not that smart darling those mean he went to college a lot and I never made it past the middle school." I said slightly embarrassed. "Yeah but you were almost done with middle school the rest of us never made it TO middle school"
"Wait weren't you abducted when you were 9 like the rest" Jennifer asked"I was, yes" "yet you were in middle school" she continued her line of questioning. "It was the last day of finals week of for the 8th grade I used to like to imagine I aced them all but it doesn't matter now. Im 21 years old with a middle school education." "But you got those college books from Jane and and you taught all of us EVERYTHING you could remember learning which was almost EVERYTHING you ever learned." Little Jeremy said exasperated with my self doubt. "Yeah, so you are smart. Smarty-pants" Becky says and then sticks her tongue out to silence any arguments.
Which I was definitely not gonna argue pfft me no. "Have they got those papers yet?"
I ask. "I have a deputy bringing some fresh from an arts supply store in town. He should be here soon."
"Thank you, Jennifer"
Now all I have to do is remember which won't be hard as I can never forget.
