Disclaimer: I OWN NO-ONE

Disclaimer: I OWN NO-ONE!! I do own Kathryn, though. PS very short…don't look at the screen like that! Give a girl a break, it's my first time. I'll get the hang of it eventually.

"Someone has to ring her. She's been worried worse than us!" Garcia said, worriedly. She'd been repeating these words over and over in the car since they found out about Reid.

"Calm down, Penelope! I'll ring her," Hotch stated, walking out of the room.

Ring, Rin--

"Gideon?" a frantic voice answered.

"No, it's Agent Hotcher. I'm just ringing to inform you that Dr. Reid has been found and is in surgery." He said softly, understanding the pain this woman is going through.

"Oh, thank god," she sighed. "Can I come see him?"

"I'm sorry, you can't," he sighed.

"Well, do you know when he's allowed home?" she asked, her voice quivering a bit.

"Kath, I'm so sorry, I don't. Gideon will ring you, later," he replied, his own voice becoming lighter.

They both hung up in silence. Hotch going back to the waiting room in the hospital, Kathryn going back to crying on the sofa.

Kathryn just sat staring into nothing. She was holding onto a picture frame, which contained a picture of herself and Reid smiling at each other.

It had been hours and her cat was getting hungry, but she didn't really notice.

She suddenly heard footsteps coming towards the door and looked to see someone opening it.

It was Gideon and he was guiding in a very tired looking Reid.

Kathryn's throat went dry. She couldn't believe he was here.

She slowly got up and made her way towards him.

She felt his cheek, to make sure he was real, then suddenly leaped into his awaiting arms.

She looked over his shoulder and silently thanked Gideon before he smiled back and closed the door.

They stood like that for hours, in each other's arms, when Kath suddenly pulled back.

"Come on, you need rest." She whispered, guiding him into their bedroom.

All he could do was stare at her.
