Chapter 2: Here We Are At the Hospital Once Again
Reid's apartment back in Virginia…
Des was stretched out on the couch waiting for her boyfriend to call when the phone suddenly rang. Much to her disappointment though it wasn't him that was calling her; instead, it was her brother's girlfriend Penelope.
"Hi," Des greeted hoping the bad feeling she had about this phone call was wrong.
"I need you to pack a bag real quick because you and I are needed in San Francisco," Garcia said before launching right into what JJ had told her a few minutes before.
"Spence was shot," Des exclaimed her voice full of panic, "Is he okay? What happened?"
"JJ didn't know much when she called me just that the bullet ricocheted off of your brother's arm before hitting our little genius," Garcia answered.
Des took a deep breath and willed herself to calm down for the sake of the baby she was carrying. "Alright I'll be ready when you get here," She then said.
One hour later…
"I'm going to call and see if there's nay news yet," Garcia said as both she and Des sat down to wait for their flight to board.
Des nodded but remained silent just as she had since Garcia had picked her up,
San Francisco hospital waiting room…
"Hey baby girl," Morgan greeted answering JJ's phone for since she and Emily had just left to go get coffee.
"Derek!" He heard her say, "Are you alright?"
"Yes I'm fine, lost a little blood, got a few stitches, I'm as good as new now," Was his reply before going onto give her more info about Reid.
"So Reid's ok," Garcia asked.
"He will be they just took him off to surgery to get retract the bullet. He's lucky it didn't hit anything vital," Morgan answered.
"Good you're sister will be glad to that," Garcia replied smiling at the news that Reid was going to be okay.
"Speaking of my sister do me a favor and make sure she stays calm. Tell her he was awake when we got to the hospital,"
"Don't worry she's actually pretty calm given the situation," Was Garcia's response smiling once again at his protectiveness.
"Good keep it that way," He said, "Stress isn't good for her right now."
"What do you mean?" Garcia asked curiously.
"I really shouldn't say but Reid informed me that she was pregnant before the ambulance arrived on scene.
"Alright we'll see you soon hot stuff," Garcia said glancing over at Des once she hung up.
Hours later…
Morgan willed himself to stand up despite how exhausted when he saw both his sister and Garcia walk into the waiting room. Treading over he pulled Garcia into his arms once she was in reach.
Garcia sighed against him instantly relaxing now that she was finally here.
Pulling away he pulled his sister into a hug next and asked, "Are you ok?"
Des nodded and Morgan then proceeded to tell them both that Reid's surgery had gone well. The doctor had told them that he'd probably be sore for awhile but other than that there was no real damage. "He woke up a couple of hours ago; JJ and Em are sitting with him now."
"Can you take me to him," Des asked as soon as he was finished.
Morgan nodded and proceeded to show her to Reid's room.
Reid's hospital room…
Both JJ and Emily looked over at the door and smiled as Des entered the room slowly.
"He just does off a little bit ago," Emily said as she and JJ headed out so Des could be alone with him.
"Des," She heard him say softly after she leaned over and kissed him softly on the lips.
"Hey my prince," Des greeted as she sat down on the bed beside him.
Reid smiled and placed a hand on her still flat stomach, "How are we doing?"
"We're both doing great despite the fact that you decided to get shot," Des said placing a hand on top of his.
"Yeah not one of my finer moments in life," Reid said in response.
Des nodded and took a deep breath before saying, "You know when Penelope called I just assumed it was my brother. After all he's the danger junkie."
Reid nodded and just listened as she continued, "I expect it with him, not you. I'm not used to that and I'm not sure I ever will."
If you were to ask her later she'd blame it on the pregnancy hormones but by the time she was done the tears she'd tried to hold in had begin to fall.
Reid wrapped a arm comfortingly around her as she stretched out on the bed beside him. "Hey I'm okay," He then said in an effort to reassure her.
"I know you are," She murmured against his shoulder, "I'm just really emotional right now."
"Yeah well I here that's one of the early symptoms," Was Reid's reply.
Des smiled before saying, "Something tells me by the time this baby gets here you'll know more about pregnancy than any doctor."
Reid just smiled back in response because he knew she was right, in fact he'd already been reading stuff about pregnancy then he said, "Speaking of the baby you need to start sleeping on your left side because it gives the baby the best flow."
"Alright, I'll keep that in mind, Dr. Reid," Des said before lifting her head off of his shoulder to kiss him.
