"Every true and deep love is a sacrifice." -Carl Jung Can love overcome the trials of dark pasts, vile secrets and crime? Spencer Reid is smart enough to know what's right from wrong or does he? When it comes to the way he feels about Carmen MacAdam, he can't seem to choose.

CURRENTLY BEING REVISED! Have you ever been told "everything happens for a reason", that's what everyone was telling Marissa Jareau when she moved to Quantico, Virginia to live with her aunt after her parents were murdered. Little did she know she was going to bring trouble with her when she moves. What kind of trouble does she bring? Well I guess you'll just have to read and find out.

It's just a typical week in the BAU, until they are invited to work on a case involving the death of older women and their conditions. When this case gets beyond personal for Spencer Reid, will it make him or break him?Will he lose yet another loved one right before his eyes? (I do not own any of the characters and/or locations in this story!)

A family of three. A family of three who are loving, caring and supportive of each other. Family of three that if danger comes to them they kick ass. Jessie is a stay-at-home mom who tends to the house. She used to be an agent at the BAU. Top of the list that if anyone needed anything or if there was a hard case they call her in. Spencer Reid, a husband who is always on the move for work. He works in the BAU, where he met Jessie. Really high IQ and photographic memory. But his son isn't too far behind. Chase, the only child in the family who is 5 years old, excelling in all of his work. He supposed to be in kindergarten but he's jumped up two grades making it in the second grade thanks to his father and mother. When a case is too close to their home that takes and rips apart families. What do they do? Do they solve it as a normal case? Or will they be emotionally scarred for life?

Jessica Morgan is the adopted 'daughter' of FBI agent Derek Morgan and Penelope Garcia (they're dating in this story.) Jessica was abused as a child and rescued by the BAU agents when she was five. So, when she's offered a job from David Rossi and the FBI, she takes it in a heartbeat! But, when she meets the incredible Dr. Spencer Reid, she's finding out that love... Can be distracting. *FINISHED*

"Well, it's Alice now," I correct him, and his brow furrows. "No, it's not." I roll my eyes. "Yes, Spencer. It's Alice. I didn't change my name for people to go poking around in my past." "But what's your real name, the one your mother and father gave you shortly after your birth?" I hesitate slightly before clearing my throat. "Lena Alice Portman." It takes me not a moment to realize he found it all out. "You're lying," he informs me.
