Story one.

Set season 5, episode 1 – Faceless, Nameless.

~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~

Arriving at Spencer's hospital room, Emily's hands were shaking.

Even though she fully knew he was okay and well, knowing he was injured, and probably in some amount of pain, worried her. Emily wasn't one for showing emotions, but just by looking at her you could see she was a nervous wreck.

Knowing a loved one was hurt always had an effect on people. Emily was worried about the love of her life.

After just five months of dating, Emily and Spencer were madly in love, even though no one knew, they were the happiest they had ever been when they were together.

She opened the glass door to his room, and saw him fast asleep in his hospital bed.

She quietly walked over to him so she could be closer. She gently sat down on the edge of the bed, so she didn't wake him. Emily took one of Spencer's hands in her own and gently squeezed it, as if to reassure herself that he was here and alive.

Emily studied his relaxed face. He always looked so peaceful while he slept, like there were nothing that could harm him in the world. She shuffled up closer to him and lovingly ran a hand down his cheek, doing soothing patterns over his face.

He began to stir not long after that. She continued to stroke his cheek softly. Eventually his eyes fluttered open, and a second later his eyes moved to look up to hers.

She smiled. "Hey, you're awake."

He smiled back at her, he felt a pressure on his hand and he looked down and saw Emily's hand squeezing his. He put his other hand over the top of their conjoined ones and looked back up at her. He could see the fear in her eyes and he felt bad that she had heard the gunshot over the phone.

"I'm really sorry Emily." He whispered.

She frowned. "Spencer you have nothing to be sorry for. You saved a man's life today."

"Maybe so, but I'm sorry you had to hear me getting shot while you were on the phone. It must've been terrifying."

She nodded sadly. "It was. I heard the shot and I froze. All I could think about was the fact you could have been dead, and I couldn't do anything about it."

She traced simple shapes over his chest while avoiding eye contact, knowing that looking at him would open the floodgates.

He noticed this and sat up slightly, ignoring the slight pain as he did so.

He took her face between his hands and wiped the tears falling down her cheeks with the pads of his thumbs.

"I'm okay Em. I'm alive and I will out of here in no time." He assured her.

She looked into his eyes and knew he was telling her the truth. "I know but…"

He put his index finger to her lips, effectively silencing her.

"But nothing." He cut her off. Her lips twitched up into a smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.

He could tell she was still uncertain, so he did the only thing he could do, kiss her.

"I'm telling you guys. The kid must have a trouble magnet attached to his body." Morgan joked, as he and the rest of the team made their way through the hospital to see Reid.

"Oh shut it Morgan." JJ said, rolling her eyes.

He waved his hand out in front of her. "Seriously JJ, the kids always been different, maybe this is why." Morgan smirked, joking evident in his tone.

Everyone but Rossi glared at Morgan, and he in return threw his hands up in surrender.

"Derek, I love you but my sweet boy genius is just prone to accidents." Garcia said, hands on her hips as they were approaching Reid's room.

"Whatever you say mama. Hey does anyone know where Prentiss is?" He asked suddenly curious as to where the brunette profiler was.

"She's with Reid, she was still a little shaken up about what happened with Reid getting shot and finding blood in Hotch's apartment." JJ said sadly, thinking how terrifying both situations must have been.

"Well here we are let's go an-" Morgan started but immediately cut himself off as he looked through the glass door to Reid's hospital room.

"What?" JJ asked, confused as to why he stopped talking and froze mid-step.

"Oh my god…" He whispered, eyes still glued to the scene playing out in front of him.

"What? Morgan what is-" JJ followed his line of sight and gasped, a hand flying to her mouth.

Rossi and Garcia did the same and Garcia almost did a double take before squealing.

"Oh my gosh!"

~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~

Emily and Spencer were completely caught up in their little world. Since the first time they kissed, she found herself always wanting to kiss him. He was addictive. She found herself needing the kiss as a final way to prove he was alive. They had stayed embraced in each other for minutes, parting slightly when air became necessary, sharing small pecks in between, before closing the small gap between them once again.

They were so into what they were doing the never heard people approaching their door, they didn't hear anyone's voice except their own, and they didn't hear them until it was too late.

"Oh my gosh!" they heard an excited voice squeal behind them. They immediately jumped apart, Emily moving further back down on the bed, and Spencer laying back down.

They turned and saw the Morgan, Garcia and JJ now inside the room, all with their mouth hanging open, and beside them was Rossi, but he was smirking.

"Uh… hey guys?" Emily asked, more a question than a statement, embarrassment clear on her face.

Spencer ducked his head, his cheeks burning up.

"Hey? That's all you have to say gumdrop? No! Details now!" Garcia said excitedly.

"No I think the better think to say is, how long has this been going on?" Morgan said, by his tone you could tell he was happy for them but you could also hear a slight harshness in his voice.

Spencer looked at Emily and noted that she was biting her lip, a tell of hers when she was nervous.

"Five months." Spencer answered for Emily.

To say everyone was shocked was an understatement.

"You kept this from us for 5 months?" JJ asked. "What kind of profilers are we?"

"Well JJ, you and I aren't profilers are we?" Garcia told her.

JJ pursed her lips. "Maybe not, but I still thought we would've seen it."

"We were trying to be as professional as possible at work. We wanted to keep it under wraps for a while." Emily told them.

"Well, I'm very happy for you both!" Garcia said, smiling from ear to ear.

Emily and Spencer's eyebrows hit their hairline. "You're not mad?" Spencer asked.

"A little, but I forgive you. But if you, boy genius, and my gumdrop ever keep something like this from me again I'll wipe you from the face of the Earth." Garcia threatened, causing an eruption of laughter from everyone else.

"We promise Pen." Emily chuckled. She turned to JJ and raised her eyebrow at her.

"And you?" Emily asked.

"I'm happy. But I happen to be on one of the best shots in the FBI, so be warned, that if you keep anymore secret like that from me again you will regret it." She told the couple half seriously.

"And if you hurt her kid, I won't hesitate to kick you're a-" Morgan started but didn't get the chance to finish.

"Hey!" Emily told him with an arm raised to stop him from talking. "There will be no need for that."

She scooted closer to her boyfriend, and held his hand tightly in hers.

Spencer noticed how Rossi hadn't said anything yet.

"Rossi you don't seem surprised."

Dave smirked. "Well, I've been a profiler since before you were born, of course I'm not surprised."

Everyone laughed, they may have been hurt by not being told, but seeing how Spencer and Emily looked at each other took off any anger or hurt they were feeling. Their friends finally found happiness.
