Meeting Her

What if Spencer has had a girlfriend for a while now, but just hasn't told the team?

They were all there with him. Had a hospital room ever had so many worried FBI agents in it? Spencer Reid lay on the bed, his broken right arm and left leg in casts.

"Do you need anything?" JJ asked him, her blue eyes dark with worry.

"I'm okay, thanks, but it itches..." Spencer replied.

"That'll teach you to try to ride without lessons, kid. You can't learn to sit a horse from a book," Morgan lectured.

"What were you thinking?" Hotch asked him, his face stern.

"You guys leave him alone, he's suffered enough." Emily chided, as she reached out and ruffled his hair.

Garcia looked up from signing his cast with her purple marker, hearing a commotion just outside the room at the nurse's station.

"... I said Spencer Reid! Where is he, what room - " a woman's frantic voice reached them from the hall.

Reid's head whipped around as suddenly a tiny bespectacled brunette whirlwind flew through the door, practically knocking Hotch down in her haste to reach the bed. She dropped her coat and purse on the floor and ran to his side, face panicky, her hands flying to his face, his chest, his arm, taking no notice of the agents in the room.

She reached to touch his face again as tears filled her eyes and she said "Spencey, what the hell? What happened? I told you to wait - did you try riding that bastard Rum? I told you he was fractious- "

Spencer took her hand in his free one and said "Jaye, it's okay, I'm alright. Calm down... shhh". Spencer touched a finger to her lips, smiling at her concern.

You could've heard a pin drop in the room as JJ looked at Morgan and mouthed "Spencey?" Emily met and matched Hotch's look of surprise and Garcia just stood there holding her purple marker in the air, her mouth open in shock.

"How did you know where I was, how to find me?" Spencer asked.

"I called her," Rossi said, getting up from the chair across the room. "Sorry Reid, didn't mean to blow your cover, but she would've killed me if I didn't let her know."

Spencer didn't take his eyes off hers but said "It's fine, thanks, Rossi."

Dave said "Don't mention it. Come on guys, let's give the lovebirds a little privacy, shall we?" as he motioned for the team to leave the room.

"Thank you all, for being here for him." Jaye said quietly, her gaze never leaving Spencer's face.

JJ was the last to file out. She looked over her shoulder at the couple and said "You're welcome?"

Lovebirds? She saw Jaye take Spencer's hand and kiss his fingers and felt a stab in the pit of her stomach. She didn't like this, not one bit.
