Spencer looked up at the man that was his dad and something just broke inside him and he started to cry his heart out.
Rossi acted purely on his father's instincts and hugged his crying son tight one hand rubbing his back and one hand carding through Spencer's short hair.
"Shush now," he said in a soft voice "Everything is okay, daddy is here everything will be okay now."
Spencer cling to Rossi as if he fear that the man would be gone if he didn't cling to him.
"Don't leave me please," he said in a childlike voice and cling to his dad even more.
"Hey Spence," Rossi said "Could you let me go a bit, I can't breathe."
Spencer blushed a bit and let go of his dad a bit so that the man could breathe.
Father and son sat like that for a while.
It was Spencer in the end that broke from the arms of his newly found father.
"I'm sorry," He mumbled and hugged his stuffed dog.
"What are you sorry for?" Rossi asked "Hugging your old man."
Spencer didn't answer and for a second Rossi thought that his son had gone back to that horrible state again, but when he looked at the boy he saw that it was not so.
Spencer hugged Sherlock the dog closed he really didn't know what to do, a part of him wanted to scream and tell Rossi that he was not his dad, another part wanted his mom just to have her hug him and tell him that everything was going to be okay, and the last part wanted to sleep and never wake up again.
Spencer found that he had a hard time breathing it felt like all the air was sucking out of his lungs before he even tried to breath in the air.
Unknown to him, he was having a panic attack.
Spencer felt like he was going to die and that made him hyperventilate even more which just made it even harder for him.
Rossi could only looked on as his son was having a panic attack, he was still for a few seconds and then he reacted, and he climb in to bed and managed to sit behind Spencer he pulled his son toward his chest and wrapped his arms around Spencer too thin middle.
"Okay buddy," he said softly "Everything is okay, Breath with me. In and hold it for 4 seconds and out."
After a while Spencer did start to breath more normal, so Rossi climb out of the bed and sat beside it still holding his son's hand.
"I have to…I have to," Spencer said in a weak voice his face had taken a pale green colour, Rossi got what he needed and pushed a trashcan under his son's chin and not a second too soon as Spencer throw up into it.
While Spencer was throwing up Rossi stroked his back and murmured comforting things to him.
"Everything is going to be okay buddy," He said softly.
Spencer collapsed back into bed with tears running down his cheeks more form the puking than anything else, he was starting to calm down now.
The father and son sat in silence for a while deep in their own thoughts.
"You scared me son," Rossi said after a while "You were gone so long."
Spencer looked unsure at Rossi what did he mean? How long had he been locked in his mind? It couldn't have been more than a few days right?
Rossi saw the questions in his son's eyes.
"Spence, you have been gone for nearly a month," Rossi said softly "Your arm and leg is healed and as soon as the doctor gives you a check over you can go home, and I would like if you come and live with me for a while."
Spencer nodded he was happy that he could go home but should he go with Rossi or insist that he wanted to go home to his own place? In the end he just asked for something to eat as he was really hungry.
Rossi laughed a bit.
"What do you want?" he asked
"What can I have?" Spencer asked back, he know what he wanted but was he allowed to have it?
"Whatever you want son," Rossi said "As long as it is nothing to heavy on the stomach of course."
Spencer nodded.
"I would love to have mac and cheese," he then said smiling "Is that okay?"
"I think that is okay but let me ask the nurse first," Rossi said and soon return smiling and told his son that it was okay and that he was going put to buy from a place he know as the hospital's version was horrible.
An hour later and Spencer had eaten up his plate with gooey mac and cheese and even manage to eat the slice of bread that come with it and Rossi who had ordered a plate with lasagne had finish his a while ago.
"So there I was splashed with pain and my dad just laughed his ass off," Rossi ended the story "My mom was not as happy with me."
Spencer laughed with his dad, Rossi had been telling his son tales about his childhood and about his family.
A knock on the door frame woke them up from their laughing and looked there stood Garcia with a bag of goodies.
"Hello my beautiful angels," She said smiling and rushed over to hug Spencer "You finally awake again I was so worry!"
Garcia hugged Spencer and told him that he was never allowed to do something like that again or she would wrap him up in bubble wrap to keep him safe.
Spencer smiled and hugged his friend back and promise that he wouldn't do anything like that again.
Later that day when it was just Rossi and Spencer again, Garcia had been spending a good few hours with them and Spencer had now a pile of books on his bedside table and more sweets and fruits then he could eat even with Rossi's help.
"So Spencer the Doctor will give you a check over tomorrow and if all is good you will be out of here," Rossi said "And I was hoping that you would move in to my house it is big and all that and a bit empty so what do you say son?"
So what should Spencer do? Should he move in with Rossi or move back to his apartment?
