Hell is For Children

"Forgive and forget
All the while
Love and pain
Become one in the same
In the eyes of a wounded child"

After 13 years of trying to forget the man he was supposed to call his father, Spencer finds his phone riddled with messages from his father trying to catch up on "old times". He's met with criticism and shame when he reveals he has no want to talk to him. Everyone seems to think his father deserves a second chance.

Everyone except for him. Aaron Hotchner.
Logically it made no sense, Aaron had a kid of his own, would he not sympathize with his father for wanting to have a relationship with his son?
Spencer finds comfort in the older man, even more so now than ever. Everytime his phone buzzes with a notification from William Reid, Aaron is always there to comfort him and distract him from the burning hole in his back pocket.
