Silent Night
Summary: The team gets snowed in while in Atka, Alaska with a sick and delirious Reid, a worried Garcia halfway across the United States, and no contact to a hospital, the BAU headquarters, or anybody outside of their hotel room. After a recent exposure to anthrax, will Reid ever recover and get the help he neess? Sick-fic. Some JJ/Reid. Requested by Namira 0.0.

Atka Hotel room; 53 hours after arrival
"You guys did great tonight. Get some sleep, we leave tomorrow morning at 7:00," Hotch said.
"There's a blizzard coming, Hotch. I just got an alert on my phone. No flights for the next 24 hours at least," Reid informed the team after clearing his throat.
"That's just great," Morgan muttered under his breath unhappily.
"Looks like we'll get to know each other," Emily tried to suggest cheerfully, but she was also not looking forward to being confined in a hotel for the next however many days the snow storm closed the flights.
"Yeah, come on-" Reid broke off with a cough he tried to suppress before choking out, "It'll be fun."
(58 hours)
"Who's up for a movie? There's a RedBox right outside of the hotel," Emily suggested. It was her, Reid, Morgan, JJ, Hotch, and Rossi in the adjoining hotel rooms. Reid and Morgan were on the floor, and JJ was on the couch with Emily. Rossi and Hotch were downstairs seeing if they could wrangle up some dinner within walking distance.
"I'll get a movie," Morgan offered, jumping up, happy to have something to do besides tapping his fingers.
"Emily, why don't you go with? Make sure that he doesn't get some gory guy movie," Emily got the very unsubtle hint and followed Morgan out the door. Reid wouldn't stop coughing, but JJ knew he would never admit to being sick if the team was around (especially if it was one of the guys.)
"You alright there, Spence?" JJ asked.
"I'm perfectly fine, JJ. Stop mother henning me," he grinned, but he still looked tired.
"Alright. I'll stop mother hemming if you agree to let me take your temperature." JJ was proud of how sneaky she could be.
"Alright," Spencer agreed, playfully mocking her. The thermometer beeped just as JJ heard Morgan's loud voice downy he hallway. As to not embarrass him in front of the team, she quickly read it before putting it away. He didn't have a fever.
Yet.
