Shelter

A/N: God I've been juggling so many stories and I shouldn't be writing a new one but this will be strictly a one-shot unless the public demands more. If threesome relationships aren't your thing then please don't read.

Two twin SUVs pulled up to a secluded residential house. The sirens weren't blaring in an attempt to sneak up on the scum bag who had slaughtered 7 women. They had profiled him as a sadistic narcissist who wouldn't go down without a fight.

"Morgan and Reid you go around back, Rossi and I will take the front, Prentiss and J.J. take either side." Hotch said in his usual stoic, authoritative voice. The team of profilers nodded all clad in bullet proof vest with their guns drawn. They split up quickly and quietly.

"Clear." Morgan heard Rossi and Hotch's voices on his earpiece followed quickly by J.J and Emily.

He turned to Reid who nodded letting him know he got the message as well. The basement was dank and dark as Morgan and Reid continued to search it. The only light source was a dull light bulb. A barely detectable noise had Morgan about to alert Spencer when something heavy hit Morgan in the back of his head.

The last thing Morgan remembers is hitting the ground hard and Reid's surprised voice before being plunged into darkness.

Morgan felt himself slowly regain consciousness. The first thing he noticed was the familiar voices, then the utter pounding in his head. It felt like hammers were banging on his skull. He groaned in pain.

"Hey guys I think he's waking up." Penelope's voice invaded his thoughts. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the faces of his friends. Dave and Hotch were standing in front his bed and Penelope, J.J., and Emily sat in chairs on either side of his bed.

"Welcome back." J.J. said with a relieved smile. "How ya feeling?"

"My head feels like hell." Morgan responded honestly, moving to rub where it hurt most and noticing he had a few stitches. He also noticed he had a bandaged on his arm. For the life of him, he couldn't remember injuring his arm.

"Aww my poor baby." Penelope cooed playfully, happy that one of her best friends was okay.

"Well you did get hit pretty hard." Emily reminds him as a doctor walks in.

"Good to see you're awake Agent Morgan. I'm Doctor Moore." The doctor introduces as he looks over Derek's chart. "How are you feeling?"

"Well I feel fine except for this headache."

The Doctor nodded. "Well that's normal given the fact that you were hit with a blunt force object. We gave you about three stitches which you'll need to come back in about a week to have removed. You also had a pretty bad scrape on your arm most likely from the fall which is bandaged and a nurse should be in to change the dressing soon. But otherwise you don't have a concussion or any other injuries and since you're awake and lucid you should be discharged in a few hours."

"Thanks Doc." Morgan said happy that it was nothing serious. He hated hospitals.

"No problem." The young doctor said as he turned to leave. "Oh and for the headaches Tylenol or Advil should suffice but if they continue for more than a week or increase in intensity, come back as soon as possible."

"Yeah like that's gonna happen." Derek thought.

"We'll make sure he does." Emily said as if she was reading his mind. He gave her a look of disbelief and she merely smiled.

The doctor left and for the next twenty minutes or so the surrogate family talked about cases and stuff like that.

"Hey where's Reid?" Morgan asked noticing the resident genius was nowhere in sight. He noticed each team member's face darken and just as he was about to ask what was going on and elderly nurse with white hair and rimless glasses walked into the room.

"Excuse me." She said kindly. "You all are going to have to leave for a few moments while I change his dressing."

Derek swore he saw Hotch's face cloud with relief.

Hotch merely nodded to Derek as he left followed by Rossi, J.J. and Penelope.

"Actually can we have a minute?" Emily asked the elderly nurse once the rest of the team was out of earshot. The nurse seemed to consider Emily for a moment before smiling sincerely.

"Sure dear but I can only give you another ten minutes." The nurse said kindly with a sweet smile as she exited the room, shutting the door behind her.

Emily exhaled softly as the door closed and sat down on the corner of the hospital bed. Derek watched as her usual composed mask practically fell apart and the worry she was feeling cloud her face.

"Emily I'm okay." Derek insisted reaching for her. Emily immediately scooted closer to him and took his hands in hers. Warmth practically radiated from his being and it was always comforting.

"When we were clearing the house and I didn't hear from you or Spencer…" She trailed off, her worry becoming more prominent by the minute.

"Hey. Hey. No tears, me and Spencer are fine." Derek insisted. Emily looked at him sharply before abruptly removing herself from the bed. She bit her thumbnail, a dead give-away to her nervousness.

"Emily?" Derek asked as she turned her back to him. "Spencer is okay. Tell me he's okay." He half demanded half pleaded, feeling dread settle into his gut.

Emily turned to him and her eyes held sadness and anger. When she spoke her voice was soft and full of emotion.

"The UnSub blitz attacked you. Once he knocked you out he…" Emily trailed off feeling emotion overtake her.

"How bad is it?" Derek asked feeling afraid to know but still needing to. Emily debated whether she should tell him the truth or not. While he would be angry if she lied he would be pissed if he knew the truth. They were both so protective of him, hell the whole team was and if anyone was liable to kick someone's ass if they even though about hurting their young genius it would be Derek.

"Two broken ribs and a ton of bruises." Emily said bluntly, regretting it immediately at seeing Derek's facial expression. The heart monitor he was connected to beeped quicker than before.

"That son of a bitch!" Morgan practically yelled.

"Derek…"

"No Emily just…no. He hurt Spencer, he hurt my baby boy!" Derek boomed. Emily sat back down on his bed. She could see the guilt in his eyes and knew her eyes probably held the same emotion. But she pushed back her own feelings because Derek needed her at the moment.

"One, he hurt our baby boy and two this wasn't your fault so don't you dare blame yourself." Emily said seriously. Derek nodded and noticed how she had referred to their lover as baby. Normally he was the one who gave Spencer these nicknames which further let him know how truly protective she was. But it still didn't appease his guilt. She must have picked up on that.

"Hey I'm serious nobody blames you." She said as she kissed him softly, before resting her head on his chest gripping at his hospital gown. He kissed her back just as tenderly knowing she must have been worried about her boys.

Their relationship was unexpected but not unwelcome. Derek, Emily, and Spencer didn't know exactly when their attraction for each other started but after a tough case they finally confessed their feelings. While things were awkward and confusing in the beginning, it gradually morphed into some beautiful and true. It was kept a secret for obvious reasons but their love continued to thrive each day.

"You should go." Derek said after a moment. "The nurse will be back soon and I know you're dying to see our boy."

"I saw him before I came here. I try to compartmentalize but it's different with Spencer, he just looks so hurt and I don't think I can…" Her voice cracks and a tear tracks down her cheek.

"No more tears." Derek says softly and he pulls her away from his chest to make eye contact. "I know this is hard. Everyone is so protective of him because he's Spencer. Innocent, sweet Spencer. He's our boy and he's gonna wake up and be looking for us. He's gonna be in pain and you know how much of a cuddler he is."

Emily laughed softly and smiled just as the nurse re-entered the room. She quickly untangled herself from her lover, thanked the nurse, and left.

A/N: Okay this is it for now. Please rate, review , and tell me if I should continue. Oh and I'm doing challenges and prompts now so if you give me one I'll try to write them.
