Chapter 2:

Reid had never felt this horrible before, his head is basically killing him, his broken arm is aching and worse, his body is shaking no matter how much he tries to control it. Despite all these, if there is something seem to comfort him is the feeling given by the fingers running through his hair right now, but who could it be? Morgan? No way. Reid only could think of one person and he quickly opened his eyes even though it was the most difficult job. He was right, he was welcomed by Garcia's colorful and cheerful face.

"Hey, sweetheart," She greeted with her most soothing voice

"Morgan told you?" Reid confirmed

"You can't really hide anything from my baby girl, I guess you aware of that," Morgan said suddenly appearing to Reid's vision

Reid stretched himself a bit and couldn't help but to let out a moan of pain.

"How are you feeling?" Garcia asked "You look so pale,"

"Terrible, horrible, whatever word you can find in the dictionary to describe discomfort, use it,"

"Reid, come on, man. Get up. You have to eat something," Morgan ordered as he placed the tray of food in front of Reid

"Do I really have to eat?" Reid questioned like a kid

"Yes, they are not going to give you any more medication unless you eat something," Suddenly, Hotch's was heard and he comes into sight

"And that is why we bought you something extra," Rossi said as he showed the pack of jello in his hand

"Can I just eat that?" Reid asked as he pointed towards the jello in Rossi's hand

"No, unless you eat at least half of what is here in this bowl,"

There is no way you could argue with the team. Feeling defeated, he tried to sit up but somehow only managed to do so with Hotch's support. Reid stretched his hand to touch the spoon but Morgan stopped him when he saw how shaky Reid's hand was.

"Let me help you," Morgan said as he scooped one spoon of chicken porridge to Reid's waiting mouth.

Reid swallowed his food, and it doesn't seem that bad, even his stomach doesn't look as if it's about to reject it. So, Reid took another spoon from Morgan, and it continued until half of the bowl was empty

"I am full, can I have jello now?"Reid whispered

Almost everyone chuckled to Reid's statement. Rossi carefully handed over the red jello to Reid'd hand, this time, Garcia helped him to eat one of his favorite hospital food.

"How is Henry doing now?" Reid requested as he gulps down one spoon of his jello

"He is scared that you might be angry with him," Hotch answered

Reid eyes widen the moment he heard the reply, however, Morgan answered before Reid could ask any further.

"He was saying something about you asking him to stop jumping but he didn't follow it, somehow hit himself on the table and fall down,"

"I was scared to death," Reid declared openly "I just turned for one second to get the dinner from the microwave and next thing I know, he was lying on the floor with a cut on his head," Reid avoided having any eye contact with the others, his finger played along with his blanket "Is JJ still angry with me?"

"I am so sorry, Spence,"

Reid heard the voice, loud and clear, he twisted his head and saw JJ standing at the edge of the door. Her eyes were red, suggesting she has been crying for some time. Emily was holding her, mainly supporting half of JJ's weight .

Even before Reid could think of opening his mouth to reply back, JJ dashed forward and took Reid's unharmed hand into hers.

"I am so sorry," She apologize again "I was so stupid, I blamed you for something you can't be responsible, now you're in the hospital because of me,"

"No, JJ," Reid gripped her hand "If whatever happened to Henry is not my fault, then you could not be responsible for what had happened to me," Reid knows that JJ is blaming herself just like how he did last night. Reid needs to clear her doubt so that she wouldn't end doing something stupid just like what he did last night, but it seems impossible. The chest pain and difficulty breathing he has been experiencing for a while seem to worsen. He has been hiding it too well from the rest of the team but not anymore. He coughed a couple of times, before he totally blacked out again.

"Reid!" Morgan called his name before he was able hold Reid's unconscious body from falling onto the bed

JJ and Morgan almost screamed Reid's name while Hotch and Rossi run outside to get Reid's doctor. Before any of the team members could understand anything, they were thrown outside of Reid's room, so they have no choice but to wait in the waiting room.

Morgan went and sat beside JJ who has been crying. "It's getting late, Henry might be waiting for you. Go, I will update you,"

JJ looked at his friend "I am so sorry, Morgan,"

Morgan placed his comforting hand on JJ's shoulders "You heard him, he is not blaming you,"

JJ covered her face with both of her palms "I was so stupid,"

"Hey, it's okay," Then, Morgan turned to Emily and Garcia "Go with her,"

When JJ walked away with Garcia and Emily, Morgan mumbled "I don't know what to tell JJ, I mean I don't know what exactly Reid is thinking, what happened to him last night and what could be possibly wrong with him right now?"

"I think I can help you with that," Suddenly Dr. Danny appeared "Your friend is suffering from pneumonia, his fever seems to decrease a bit, but still we are keeping an eye on him. I am putting him strictly on bed rest for at least two weeks, no work until he recovers,"

Dr. Danny walked away when three of them gave their word that they will make sure Reid takes all the rest he needs.

"Why don't you guys go back, I will stay with him. Just inform the girls about Reid's condition" Morgan said

Morgan walked inside to Reid's room and got the glimpse of Reid sleeping peacefully under two blankets. He walked further and touched Reid's forehead, true, the fever seems to lessen but it is still there. Morgan wiped a few hairs off his forehead, then he pulled the chair closer to Reid's bed. Morgan continues to watch the rising and falling of Reid's chest and no idea when did he fall asleep uncomfortably on the chair.
