ROSSI'S RETURN
Chapter 7
AN: wow thanks for the reviews my lovely ones. I am typing as quickly as I can...but I can promise that the secret comes to light shortly...like by the end of this so I hope you are not too disappointed.
Quantico General hospital. Later that night
"Any news." Aaron Hotchner demanded as he strode into the waiting room 30mins later. Thank god for night driving and sirens, he mused.
"He's still in the OR, and no one is saying anything." Morgan growled standing up and pacing yet again.
Garcia waited until he made a pass and grabbed onto his arm, pulling him into the chair beside her.
"The service I got said they would pass my message onto his mother immediately."
"Service." Rossi repeated. "They're not cheap...What? I have three ex-wives, so sue me for not wanting to listen to them moan."
"Rossi you are a dog." Prentiss laughed outright, while JJ and Garcia giggled behind their hands.
"Excuse me, are you here for Mr Reid?"
"Yes, How is he?" Hotch demanded sternly, fixing his normal glare on the young nurse with the clip board.
Garcia sighed, she really would have to talk to her Bossman about toning that down with those who weren't UnSubs. But for now it could wait.
"Mr Reid..." the nurse began hesitantly.
"Doctor Reid." JJ corrected automatically. " Its Dr Spencer Reid."
"Oh I am sorry...Dr Reid. I just need some information. Are you family?" she asked while blushing at her gaffe.
"I am Dr Reid's unit chief, and I have his medical power of attorney." Hotch answered out loud...while inside screamed 'Yes!'
"Okay that's good." the nurse offered, rather shaken by the taciturn man. Stern but handsome, she thought. "And your name sir?"
"SaC Aaron Hotchner."
"thank you sir. We have accessed the doctors basic medical history file. But his blood type has a 8digit code after it that our system doesn't recognise." she explained quickly knowing the surgeon was worried about this.
"He is AB negative." Hotch stated. "I know its rare."
"Oh the 8 digits could be from the FBI database." Garcia offered with a small smile. " its just had an overhaul, that probably why yours doesn't recognise it."
Rossi felt the blood leave his face. Hotch had told the nurse the truth, that blood type was rare. He should know...
"If he needs blood. I'm a match." he heard himself say, while his mind was far away.
"I don't think Spencer would be too thrilled about that David." a soft accented voice sharply turning ever head to it. "Do you?"
David Rossi considered himself a cool character.
But in that moment he felt his stop, then take off at a mighty gallop.
"Marianne? Oh my sweet lord Marianne!" he cried feeling tears flood his eyes. And not giving a damn who saw them. "How? ..Oh my god! Where have you been?"
Hotch took in the woman before him. Her dark hair that gave off flashes of purple, was drawn back tightly in a ponytail, no make-up had been applied to her sallow skin and her dark eyes were red rimmed with crying.
"David I don't have the time or inclination to play twenty questions with you. Where is my son?" she snapped, her eyes focused on Rossi.
"Your son?...Reid is your son?" Rossi cried not believing the way fate was turning.
"Yes he is my oldest boy...and as for the blood situation. His siblings are flying in as we speak, and are matches." she said smiling at the shaken nurse. "Anything you need to know my dear?" she asked softly moving the nurse away from the stunned group.
Rossi stood frozen, not taking his eyes off her in case she was a mirage. He didn't even notice Hotch pushing him into a chair, or Prentiss pushing a coffee cup into his suddenly cold hands.
"So does this shine any light on the Reid situation?" Prentiss finally asked softly what they were all wondering.
"Dave?" Hotch exclaimed as his friend stayed silent and his gaze never left the near by figure.
"Oh Christ Aaron...I have screwed up so majorly." Rossi declared to his young friend.
"So is Reid yours?" Morgan demanded angrily at his first thought.
"What?! NO! Marianne is my youngest sister...she ran away after a family altercation...Oh God Reid is my nephew." Rossi declared finding himself rather proud of the declaration.
For about 5 seconds...
"If you want to keep your bits in working order for wife number four. I wouldn't let Spencer hear you say that." Marianne laughed bitterly, as she took a seat slightly apart from the others.
"Marianne, where did you go? We looked everywhere for you." Rossi cried out. He wanted to go scoop her up in his arms, but knew she would never allow it.
"Why?" she asked sadly. "You all made your thoughts pretty clear that day. Why would you waste your time looking for a lying whore?"
AN: so not his son. Told you it was AU, but Diana Reid will make an appearance. Just cause I love her character.
Peace
