jupiter aria reid

colin hugh was sentenced to life plus 30 in federal prison for attempted murder of a federal agent, abduction, 6 counts of first degree murder, child endangerment, illegal possession of a firearm, and breaking his bail agreement. and adrian was nearly charged with murder after hearing about what had happened. but now, i was home and safe with my son who was currently laying on his play mat as i finished packing up the lunches in the wicker basket, singing disney songs.

"let's say we go visit daddy and all your aunties and uncles, huh?" i smile, leaning down and picking him up from the mat.

he coos at me and i nod my head.

"good idea, we probably should bring utensils."

after placing my son in the car, i packed up the basket in the front seat and drove off to the building, making casual conversation with my infant son in the backseat.

"you know, if past mommy saw mommy now, she'd think i was crazy." i giggle as the frozen soundtrack plays through the car.

once we reach the building, i park in my usual spot and grab the stroller from the trunk and attach his carseat to the top then place the basket in the bottom section. i lock the car, and continue humming the frozen songs as i make my way into the building, pointing out everything to apollo.

"and that's roger, can you say hi?" i gush, pointing over to the older man in the front lobby.

he gasps, coming around to peek into the stroller.

"oh hello baby genius!" he smiles, reaching down and ticking apollo's stomach.

"ah, this is for you." i smile, pulling out a sandwich box from the basket and handing it over to roger.

"oh, dr. reid. you're too kind." he gushes, bringing me into a short hug.

"i have to make up for my husbands lack of social skills." i sigh, making him laugh.

"alright, have fun up there you two!" he exclaims as i make my way into the elevator.

i wave goodbye and hit the fourth button, tapping my foot impatiently. the elevator dings and i excitedly make my way into the bullpen, leaning into the carriage to talk apollo through everything.

"-and that's mommy's office. uncle drew is probably in there right now, and look! it's daddy!" i yell out, making spencer's head turn up towards up.

a wide smile displays itself on his face as he walks excitedly over to us, wrapping an arm around my waist and pressing a kiss to my lips. apollo lets out a loud babble, making us pull away.

"i didn't forget about you." spencer gushes, pulling his son out of the carriage.

the team makes their way towards us and i'm greeted with many hugs.

"what're you two doing here, mama?" derek asks as he pulls away.

"oh! i brought you guys lunch." i smile, reaching down to hold up the basket.

emily gasps, taking the basket from me and opening the top.

"lasagna? i'm in love with you. divorce your husband. we'll raise apollo on our own." she says, a serious expression on her face.

i let out a loud laugh and spencer pouts.

"you want to take my wife and my son? seems a bit excessive."

"did you want her to only take your wife?" jj laughs, leaning in to rub apollos little nose with her finger.

"i'd rather she take neither and find her own wife and child." spencer says, furrowing his eyebrows.

i roll my eyes and everyone makes their way into the break room.

"where's rossi, hotch and garcia? and drew?" i ask, pulling out the utensils and the spatula so everyone could get their own slices.

"probably still in their offices." jj shrugs, slapping a large helping of the lasagna onto her plate.

"i'll go get them. you okay if i leave him here?" i ask spencer, who had apollo in one arm as he ate with his other.

"you're asking me if i'm okay watching my own son?" he chuckles.

"well you're eating and-"

"jup, i can handle eating and holding my son."

i glare playfully at him before leaning down and pressing a kiss to his cheek and walking out of the room to gather hotch and garcia. i knock on hotch's office door and he mumbles a quick, 'come in'

"hey hotch. oh. and rossi." i smile, popping my head in through the door.

"aria? you're not back for another two weeks." hotch smiles, standing from his desk and bringing me into a hug.

"oh i know. i brought you guys lunch. you should get there before morgan eats all the corner pieces of the lasagna. i know those are your favorite." i chuckle, pulling away from the man.

"thank you. i'll be sure to get some. it's good to see you." he smiles, before walking out of the room.

rossi greets me with a quick hug.

"i heard what happened in north carolina. you handled it really well. and congratulations. i'm glad you and the little tike are safe." he smiles.

"thank you rossi, it means alot. but you really should go get some lasagna before morgan eats it all."

he chuckles, nodding his head and i follow him out, walking towards my office which drew now occupied. i knocked on the door and just decided on walking in. luckily, garcia was already in here, leaning over drew and staring at the computer screen. as i walk in, their heads snap towards me and smiles crowd their faces.

"jupiter!" they exclaim, racing over to hug me.

i let out a groan as they both attack me in hugs.

"hey guys." i laugh, as they pull away.

"what're you doing here? where's apollo?" drew asks, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"i brought everyone lunch, lasagna. and he's with spencer. oh my gosh, you haven't met apollo yet, have you?" i gasp, and garcia squeals.

"oh my goodness, i have to go!" she exclaims, speeding out of the office and towards the break room where everybody now was.

"come on, let's go meet my son." i giggle, leading him out of the office.

he lets out a nervous sigh, flattening out his tie.

"had i known i was meeting such an important person, i'd have dressed better." he says, letting out a short breath.

a loud laugh escapes my lips and he smiles. we enter the break room and i see garcia dancing around with apollo in her arms. i walk over, making grabby hands over at her and she hands him to me, picking up her plate of lasagna and shoving a large bite in her mouth. i turn to drew, who wipes his hands on his pants.

"drew pensacola, meet apollo aaron reid." i smile, gently placing him into drew's arms.

"oh hello. you're so small." drew whispers down at my son, who reaches up and grabs his glasses.

i smile and everyone stops for a moment, looking over at the interaction.

"his fingers are so small." drew chuckles as apollo's hand wraps tightly around drew's finger.

"he's an infant, drew." i giggle, and drew rolls his eyes.

"well i know but he's just...so tiny." he gushes.

"kinda gives you baby fever, huh?" i whisper in his ear, making his face red.

"wh-what? noooo." he laughs nervously.

i smile, taking my son back and he stammers nervously.

"lasagna. i should get some." he nods, turning away from me, making me laugh.

i sit down at the table and apollo watches everyone curiously. as everyone eats and mingles, he begins to whimper in my arms.

"hey hey hey, it's okay bubba." i coo, standing from my chair and bouncing him slightly.

"diaper change? is he hungry?" spencer asks, his head shooting up from his plate.

i shake my head, clutching my crying son closer to my chest.

"just tired and needy." i shrug, a short chuckle escaping my lips.

"ah, just like his daddy." morgan snorts, making spencer toss his crumpled up napkin at him.

i roll my eyes and apollo's whines grow louder.

"hey." i pout, stroking my thumb over his cheek.

"i know what you need." i smile, adjusting him slightly before opening my mouth to begin the song.

"where the north wind meets the sea. there's a river full of memory. sleep my darling, safe and sound. for in this river, all is found." i sing softly, rocking him back and forth.

"oh my god this is the cutest thing i've ever seen." i hear emily mumble, making me smile.

"i want this on cd." garcia gushes.

"in her waters, deep and true, lie the answers in a path for you. dive down deep into her sound. but not too far, or you'll be drowned." i continue humming, twirling him in my arms, making a tired giggle escape his lips.

"bit morbid for an infant, no?" drew says.

"it's frozen, dude." morgan mumbles.

"she will sing to those who hear and in her song all magic flows. but can you brave what you most fear? can you face what the river knows?" i hum softly, and i can feel apollo's body relax.

"she's magical." rossi sighs.

"until the rivers finally crossed, you'll never feel the solid ground. you have to get a little lost, on your way to being found." apollo's eyes begin to droop as i continue to softly sing and rock him back and forth.

"is this happening right now?" hotch says, a slightly sarcastic edge in his tone.

"where the north wind meets the sea. there's a mother full of memory. come, my darling, homeward bound. for all is lost, then all is...found"i sing, the last words trailing off as my son falls into a deep sleep, making me smile.

i turn to face the group who stares at me in awe, an adoring smile on spencer's face.

"what?" i whisper as i place my son back into the stroller.

"marry me." emily states boldly, making me snort.

"seriously? i'm right here!" spencer whispers.

i smile, walking over and seating myself on his lap.

"he's so good. you're lucky." hotch smiles, placing his now empty paper plate in the trash.

"it's also because jupiter is clearly magical." rossi points out, and the group nods in agreement.

"you almost put me to sleep." drew says, making me laugh.

"i want it on a cd so i can listen to it every night before i go to bed." garcia says, pointing her fork at me.

"i think that's the thing i was most excited to do as a mom. singing lullabies to my son." i giggle, leaning my head on spencer's shoulder.

"can i pay you to put henry to sleep?" jj asks, making everyone laugh.

"no charge, just let me know when and i'll be right over." i chuckle.

"i think i could watch you do that...every day." morgan says, smiling softly at me.

"i do. and it's easily the most calming, and loving thing you could ever witness. it never gets old." spencer says, pushing my overgrown bangs from my eyes, and i smile.

"i thought you would've been annoyed by it by now." i chuckled.

he just shakes his head and tightens his grip around my hip.

"never."

"i'm serious, can i get the whole thing on cd? we can record it in my office right now."

"garcia, it's frozen. it's already on cd."

"okay, but it's not jupiter singing is it? no, morgan, i didn't think so."
