Criminal Minds Series Rewrite: Season Four

Omnivore: Part One

"Fate is not satisfied with inflicting one calamity." - Roman author Publilius Syrus

"Alright, I just got his crib set up. JJ says he loves that little giraffe stuffed animal, so I put it in there for an easy night," you say and walk into the living room.

Spencer is pacing the floor with Henry in his arms and a bottle in his mouth. He doesn't seem to notice you right away, so you steal a few seconds to admire him from afar. Spencer is such a good godparent to Henry, it makes you think how good he'll be with his own kids.

How did you ever land a guy like Spencer? Something must have happened to you in a past life that granted you eternal happiness in this one. You don't care what other people say, you're the lucky one in this relationship.

"You're staring," Spencer says.

"Can you blame me? You'd be really good with your own kids one day." You walk over to him and look at Henry who is looking up at Spencer. "Do you want some one day?"

"With you?"

"You know, just in general."

"I'd have a dozen of it means you get to be their mother."

"Okay," you blush. "Let's not go that far. We'll start with one and work our way up."

"Deal," he chuckles.

"Man, he is tiny."

"I know. Want to hold him? He's done with his bottle."

"Is that even a question?"

You take Henry from Spencer's arms and pat his back to get him to burp. Spencer puts on a Disney movie for the three of you to enjoy. Halfway through the movie, you end up falling asleep in Spencer's arms and Henry is asleep in yours. Spencer looks down and smiles lovingly at the sight of you and Henry.

He doesn't care what anyone says, he is the lucky one in this relationship. The sight of Henry makes him think about what life would be like if he and you had a child. He was serious before. He'd have a whole family of kids if it means you get to be their mother. Spencer lets you and Henry sleep until the end of the movie before he wakes you so you two can put Henry to bed and go to sleep.

The following work day, you bring Henry into work since Will is meeting you there to take back his child. It sucks you won't be taking care of Henry but JJ is more than happy to let you babysit if it means she and Will get another amazing weekend together.

"How'd he do?" JJ asks and takes her son back.

"Amazing. He's the perfect angel. We didn't have any problems. Did you two have a nice weekend?"

"Yeah, we really needed it."

"Well, we definitely want to babysit again and soon."

"You got it," she chuckles and passes her son over to her boyfriend.

There is a case that requires your attention, so instead of briefing in the conference room, Hotch wants everyone on the plane to Boston as soon as possible. Between the years of 1995 and 1998, Boston detective Tom Shaunessy called in the BAU for a case regarding an unsub who dubbed himself "The Reaper". It was Hotch's first case as a BAU senior which is just another level after being a normal agent.

The Reaper killed more than twenty people back then, and this kind of unsub derives from a sense of power. He contacted Tom Shaunessy and told him he'd stop killing if the investigation was shut down. That's the ultimate power move because Tom couldn't catch this guy no matter what he did. The Reaper knew what he was doing when he asked Tom to do that. He agreed and sent Hotch away since the murders stopped cold turkey.
