Description
They profile serial killers for a living - but raising kids? That's the real challenge. In this Criminal Minds one-shot collection, the BAU's top agents are also full-time parents navigating the chaos of family life. Aaron Hotchner and Emily Prentiss are raising two boys - steady, responsible Declan (adopted from Emily's previous marriage) and Jack, the youngest, who's just starting to push boundaries. Jennifer Jareau and Spencer Reid are parenting Henry and Kamen, brothers with very different personalities and a knack for testing limits in opposite ways. And Derek Morgan? He's a single dad to Isabelle - fierce, bold, and smart enough to know exactly how far she can push her father's patience. The job doesn't stop at the office. Whether it's a phone call in the middle of dinner, a kid acting out after a rough case, or a hard lesson learned over a broken rule, these agents are doing what they do best - reading behavior and responding with love, structure, and the occasional well-deserved consequence. Sometimes the stories are about one family. Sometimes they're all together. But at the heart of each one? Family, discipline, and the unshakable bonds that hold them together. 🔸Content Warning: This collection contains parental discipline, including spanking, in a loving but firm family context. If this topic is not for you, please read with care or skip this collection.
