Meeting Casey

One year later...

Reid

Reid felt the sun pour through his window onto his skin as he woke up. Casey was sleeping peacefully next to him albeit with no clothing on beneath the covers, Reid smiled as he remembered the previous night. He was prepared to sleep for another hour till he heard his phone vibrate. It was from Hotch saying that they had a new case. Reid groaned as he crossed the morning hurdle all humans felt, he tried carefully not to wake Casey from her deep slumber but her eyes opened slowly to face him.

"Morning Spencer, where are you going?".

"After I take a shower I have to go into work, it looks like we have a new unsub" he said as he walked into the bathroom to take a shower. Reid didn't tell her much about the team except they were like family to him. He liked having someone who wasn't connected with his work so he decided not to tell Casey about his team and chose not to tell his team about Casey.

"Okay well you know the normal rules, come back safe and sound" she smiled.

Reid laughed softly as his girlfriend reminded him to come back safe, she always worried about him and he reciprocated the feeling, the Emergency Room that she worked at wasn't always safe. As Reid dried himself and got dressed he heard the sound of a pager going off and Casey scrambling off the bed and rushing to the bathroom.

"Casey I thought you had the day off" Reid asked puzzled as she quickly ran a brush through her hair and washed herself.

"I did till Doctor Gedren called in sick leaving me to cover all his patients."

Reid nodded understanding. They both grabbed there belongings and rushed out the door. Reid dropped off Casey at the ER. Before she exited the car Reid reached over and gave her a long kiss on the lips which she returned, he needed that kiss to get him through the day as well as deal with horrific images he was about to see.

He gave a swift wave to Taylor a nurse who had become friends with since being with Casey and turned the corner.

Casey

As she walked towards the door her mind wandered to last night. She could still remember Reid's hands in her hair as he kissed his way down her neck. She quickly brought her mind to reality.

"Morning Frank. What is on the board today?" she asked without her usual enthusiastic tone. She was not in the mood to be at the ER.

"We have a drunk and disorderly in need of stitches, a elderly patient who is experiencing stomach pains and we have a patient who has injured his arm in a car accident" Frank listed before offering Casey her coffee, Frank was the best receptionist ever as he always got someone's coffee before they arrived.

She put her items in her locker and grabbed her stethoscope preparing for a long day of work ahead. Her first two patients didn't take that long to treat as the drunk and disorderly one had passed out making the stitches a piece of cake to do and the elderly couple had digested some rather questionable meat the previous night which was easy to treat.

She made her way towards her next patient.

"Hello Mr Lynch. I understand you are experiencing pain in your arm."

The man smiled as he put his glasses back on and looked at the doctor.

"Yeah I was on my way to work and some guy came out of nowhere. My arm really hurts."

"Well let's take a look and see what's wrong" Casey assured the man.

As a precaution she gave him a basic examination and then sent him to X-ray to have his arm checked out.

"Mr Lynch is there anyone you would like me to call while you are in X-ray?".

"Could you call my girlfriend, her name is Penelope Garcia. The number is in my phone" he politely requested.

"I'll do it now for you".

Casey retrieved the phone from the man's bag and searched for Penelope. She walked over to the reception phone and dialled the number.

"Hello Penelope Garcia, FBI Technical analyst" a cheery voice picked up.

Casey could hear voices in background, it seemed a heated discussion was going on.

"Good morning, my name is Dr Casey Lewis from the Quantico Emergency room. I have a Kevin Lynch who was involved in a car accident here, he's fine apart from an injured arm which is currently being X- rayed, he asked if I could call you."

"I'll be there right away. Just tell him to stay put and I'll come and pick him up" the once cheery voice now worried said down the phone before hanging up.

Mr Lynch returned to his bed and waited for news of what was wrong with his arm. Casey received his X-ray back sooner than she thought would get it.

"Mr Lynch you have a closed bone fracture in you lower arm which can be painful if you move it too often. I'm going to get a nurse to put your arm in a cast which will have to stay on for a few weeks." Casey delivered the news as softly as she could but she could see the dismay in the man's face.

A few seconds after she had delivered the news a young women came walking over. Her hair was a rich blond and she wore an assortment of colourful jewellery that seemed to match her glasses.

"Kevin Lynch why do you always have me worried?" the young women scolded. Kevin gave Penelope a puppy dog look which made the women's face face turn from worry to a soft sweet look. Casey thought that was the best moment to jump in.

"I presume you are Penelope Garcia. I'm Dr. Lewis, we spoke on the phone".

"Thank you for looking after him. Will he be okay?" Garcia asked wanting to know everything.

"He'll be fine although his lower arm will have a cast on till the fracture is healed. A nurse will be along shortly to cast his arm. If you'll excuse me I have to get to work on some charts. I'll be back to discharge you though." Casey assured

They nodded and she began walking as she walked away.

Casey approached the reception desk and began to fill out various forms, she wanted to kill Dr. Gedren for making her come in.

Frank appeared in front of her with a fresh assortment of doughnuts, he batted away other hands as he wanted to give her first pick. She picked the classic glazed doughnut and thanked frank.

"Hey Casey, how is Spencer doing?" Taylor asked as she wiped the board.

"He is doing fine, he got called into work for a case so my plan for a romantic evening has to be rearranged" Casey sighed taking another bite of her doughnut.

"Never mind. He is so good for you though and he was great at the Christmas party we had, Dr. Magic we called him" Taylor chuckled.

Casey turned around to face Garcia who had arrived at the desk.

"The nurse has finished with Kevin's cast. Is there anything I need to fill out?".

"If you could just confirm these details and sign the marked areas that would be great. His discharge papers have already been filled out".

Casey resumed her conversation with Taylor as Garcia walked over to the other desk to fill out the forms.

Garcia

Garcia just wanted to get Kevin home so she could get him comfortable, she had arranged to do all of her work from home. As she filled out the forms she glanced at the staff board next to her and scanned them, her eyes zoomed to one picture in particular.

Her Junior G-man Reid was kissing Dr. Casey Lewis, the doctor who had just treated Kevin. What the hell was the only thought that rang through her mind.

She dialled Reid's number wanting an answer.

"Hey Garcia, how is Kevin?" his soft voice answered.

"He's fine. Why am I staring at a picture of you and Kevin's doctor full on kissing each other" she whispered angrily to Reid.

Shit thought Reid.
