Summary
“You don’t have to bribe me dad.”
Spencer let out a warm chuckle and smiled fondly. “Ah come on, it’s not just bribery…you do deserve some new books…and I want something new myself. I know how much you want new books Walter. We could even go big and see if we can find some new cool dictionary for your collection?”, he smirked fondly.
At the mention of a new dictionary all suspicion of bribery or pity faded away instantly and his face lit up with an even bigger smile this time. He looked up at his dad who just laughed and let go of his hand to wrap an arm around his shoulders, and pulled him in closer on the bustling subway.
“That’s my boy.”, he stated proudly, running his hand over Walter’s hair as the boy leaned his forehead on his chest. Spencer had raised a nerd, just like himself.
Or, where Spencer is a single parent, they’re two weirdos too smart for this world. Hotch and Reid have feelings they’re both way to afraid to admit to each other, but maybe a little push from Jack, Walter and Henry could help?
Why is it so hard to summarize!!!?? I promise it's better than it sounds, hopefully. Maybe not, I don't know but give it a try and find out (;

Summary
“Now, who’s this?” Hotch asks, his face melting into something Spencer knows is born of being a father. It’s tender and warm and mirrors everything Spencer feels on the daily, but never knows how to express. Maybe it’s as simple as the look he can’t keep off his face.
Charlotte’s giggle keeps him smiling, with the added joke of, “I don’t know what you mean.”
“Well, I hate to break this to you, but I think you have a koala on your back.”
He feigns confusion: “A koala on my back—oh my goodness there’s a koala on my back!” He hoists her further up, tipping his head back to meet her eyes. “Hello miss, have you seen a koala around here?”
Charlotte fully laughs this time, her eyes squinting into the crow's feet he loves to see. “That’s me!”
Spencer Reid is twenty-five, and Charlotte Reid is six. This is how they come to be.
