1.
As he felt the first impact of Hotch's foot, he doubles over. He knew Hotch had a plan but it still hurt. Every time he connected with Reid's body, memories flashed in his head of high school and all the jocks. Shoving him into lockers, tying him to the goalposts, beating him with hockey sticks and baseball bats. Every time it happened he ended up on his knees, crying in agony. Screaming for help and just hoping that it would one day stop. Even know, even at the FBI, it seemed there wasn't an escape from the torment.
2.
This wasn't the first time he'd been held by a maniacal cult leader. But it was the only time he was about to be offered up as a sacrifice. He didn't know exactly where he was but he knew it wouldn't be long until them team found him. He was hoping they would anyway. He couldn't make out what the 'preacher' was saying but it sounded like he didn't have a lot of time.
When he signed up for this job, he knew it would shorten his life expectancy . He'd been near death so often - not forgetting the one time he did die - but he'd never given much thought as to how he would actually die. He figured it would be a more 'standard' death - a gunshot wound or a bomb blast. Not on his knees, blood pouring down his face, hands bound and burned, on his knees with a makeshift knife at his throat.
3.
It had to be one of the worst days in his life. He was 18 years old. He was commiting his mother to a care facility. He knelt down infront of her and starte to cry.
"I'm so sorry, Mom. I just can't give you anymore. I know I'm taking the easy way out but I don't know what else I can do. Now, I spoke to the Doctor in charge, a Dr. Wiseman, and he said there will be someone coming to collect you in a hour. I have some of your things already packed but I need to know if I've missed anything." Diana's face was vacant. "Mom? Do you understand me? Do you know what's going on?"
She looked him in the eye. "Spencer? When did you get here?"

"Come on Henry. You can do it. Do it for Uncle Spencer." Will held onto his son's little hands as he tried to stand up. It took a couple of attempts (and a reassuring hug from JJ) but he was up on his feet. The smile on his little face lit up the room and Reid couldn't help but smile.
"Go on, little man." Will gestured that Reid should kneel on the floor and hold his hand out. That was all that Henry needed. A look of determination on his face, he took his first tentative steps across the wooden floor. Henry wobbled a bit about halfway but managed to stay up and make his way to Spencer, who was grinning the whole time.
"Did you get it, hon?" Will looked over at JJ, who was holding a video camera. "Yeah. I got it all. Garcia insisted on nothing less." The two of them looked at Reid with Henry and both agreed that Henry was defiantly in safe hands.
2.
"Are you sure it's under here, Garcia?" Reid's voice echoed in the small room.
"I hope it is! It's my favourite figure."
Hotch walked into the room to find Garcia pouting in her chair and Reid under the table.
"Enjoying the view?" Hotch looked flustered. Garcia was the only one who knew about their relationship, having seen them on security videos mid make-out. But she knew how to be discreet. Besides, she was dating a co-worker so she hadn't any room to talk herself.
Reid banged his head on the table as he made his way out. Garcia squealed with glee when he produced a small purple turtle toy as he knelt on the floor, hand on his head.
Hotch closed the door and joined his.....lover? boyfriend?....... Reid on the floor. "You alright?"
He relaxed under Hotch's touch. He was just happy he could be free. Of course, Garcia would tease them in private but it just rolled off him. As long as Hotch was near then he knew it would be okay. The small kiss he placed on his head made him smile and just be content.
Until Garcia asked them to hold on until she got her camera out.

"Spencer?" Reid was sitting on the couch in Hotch's house (he lived there too but he stil wasn't used to calling it their house) reading through one of his mother's old journals when Jack tugged on his trouser leg.
"What is it, Jack? You ok?"
"Yep. Daddy wanted me to give this to you." He handed over a tray with a small gift box and a folded note beside it. Jack just smiled and ran back out the room.
Reid put the book down and looked at the note.
To my Doctor
Reid opened the box to find a long silver chain inside.
"Do you like it?" Hotch was leaning in the doorway, a small smile on his face.
"I do. What's the occasion?"
"Well, today marks ten years since we fisrt met."
Reid sat up. "I know." He sat they tray down and walked towards Hotch.
"I thought you would remember. Did you get me anything?" His tone was jokey, he'd figured Reid had not got him a gift but he was confused a little when Reid stopped just out of his reach.
"I did get you something. But I need to ask you something first."
Hotch moved away from the door when Reid got down on one knee.
"Aaron......you mean more to me than I ever thought possible. I love you with all my heart. I can't imagine my life without you. Aaron Hotchner.....will you marry me?" Reid pulled out a small purple box and placed it in Hotch's hand. Inside was a simple silver ring.
"Say something Daddy!" Jack was peeking through the banister on the stairs. "Say yes!"
The two men laughed and Hotch took Reid's hand and swept him into a passionate kiss.
"Yes."
