Song: (Kissed You) Good Night by Gloriana


Garcia stood just outside the doorway to Spencer Reid's hospital room. She flew all night to arrive in California as soon as she could for her Boy Wonder. She had passed Hotch, JJ, Emily and Rossi in the waiting room. After getting all the information she needed she sent them back to the hotel with assurances that she would call if anything were to change. She couldn't believe her Junior G-Man had been shot again. This team was going to be the death of her.

Now though it was Derek Morgan, her Chocolate God that was breaking her heart. He sat in a chair next to the hospital bed, carefully clutching Reid's hand. He was speaking to Reid as well. Garcia could barely make out the words but when she listened hard she could hear well enough.

"Do you remember our first date? The real first date not you cornering me in that police station and kissing me senseless." Morgan gave a dry laugh. Garcia could see the tears in his eyes and it broke her heart to pieces.

"We went to that cute little café remember? God you were so nervous it was adorable. You rambled about everything from the menu to the weather, to how one's heartbeat can affect other bodily functions. I loved watching you that night, love watching you every night." Morgan paused taking a couple of deep breaths. "It was a little after midnight when I dropped you off. I sat in my car till you disappeared from sight. Did you know I sat there and thought, 'I should have kissed you' that 'I should have pushed you up against the wall'?" Morgan smiled at Reid. "I was thinking how I should have kissed you just like I wasn't scared at all." Garcia couldn't take much more of this; she was intruding on a very intimate moment. She was just about to leave when Morgan spoke again.

"So I did just that. I turned off the car, ran up the stairs, back to your front door, but before I could knock, you turned the lock and met me on your doorstep. And I kissed you, kissed you goodnight. Man after I kissed you, it was a good night baby." Morgan laid his head down on the bed, tears flowing freely now. Garcia was shocked at the raw emotion, frozen in her place. Garcia wanted to go comfort her best friend. She was just about to do that when a small voice stopped her.

"You couldn't see me, watching through the peephole" Reid coughed out. Morgan's head shot up, looking at his lover with a shocked and desperate face. "I was wondering what went wrong. Did I talk too much? Maybe you didn't feel the same at all. I sat there praying that you wouldn't go. I was stuck on the fact that you should have kissed me. You should have pushed me up against the wall. You should have kissed me because I was right on the edge and ready to fall" Reid finished with a smile turning to face Morgan.

In tears Morgan gave a small laugh, "Baby you did nothing wrong. That's why I turned off the car, ran through the yard and back to your front door. That's why half scared to death, couldn't catch my breath, I kissed you."

"Yes you did" Reid replied voice shaky from exhaustion and emotion.

"God Spence don't do this to me again. I hate seeing you hurt. I hate these moments" Morgan breathed out.

"What aren't these the moments we live for?" Reid joked. Morgan didn't respond but gave Reid a soft and tender kiss.

"Pretty Boy, now that I've kissed you, it's a good night" Morgan whispered giving Reid another soft kiss before the younger man fell back to sleep. "Baby goodnight"

Garcia felt privileged to see such a private and intimate moment between the two. She quietly slinked back out of the room, promising herself to return in a few minutes.
