Hello! I'm so glad that everyone is enjoying my fanfic. I just want to know every way possible to improve so leave a review with improvements and suggestions please!
Reid snored loudly as he lay in his hospital bed. That was another disadvantage with the tubes in his throat, the load snoring. Along with the inability to breath on his own. Fortunately, the doctor delivered the news that it was only temporary.
Reid had fallen asleep while reading a recommended The Hobbit. About a creature called a Hobbit and he goes on an adventure with other Dwarves and a wizard name Gandalf. It wasn't exactly Reid's type of book, but he was enjoying it all the same.
It had been two days since the team had found Reid, Addi and Blake. They were all doing well but Reid still wasn't allowed to see Addi. She was supposed to rest while the doctors did some tests, Reid wasn't sure what the tests were but it worried him.
JJ strode down the hall with her hand wrapped around Henry's. He had begged all evening to go and see his Uncle Spencer in the hospital. The conversation flashed through JJ's mind:
"Henry, Uncle Spencer is in the hospital. Some bad people hurt him and he's going to be there for a while. We're going to go see him tomorrow OK?" JJ explained.
"Uncle Spencer is hurt! I wanna go see him now!" Henry cried.
"It's your bedtime now but we can go as soon as you wake up," JJ said.
"But I wanna go now! Uncle Spencer is all alone," Henry begged.
"He's with Aunt Alex, Aunt Penelope and one of his friends," JJ explained, "C'mon let's get you to bed."
"But Momma!"
"Nope, come one we're going to bed."
As soon as Henry was in bed he fell asleep, but once he woke up again he continued to bug JJ to go.
Now she was walking down the hall to Reid's room with an excited Henry at her side. They'd passed several friendly nurses on the way, who'd all smiled at Henry as he said "hi" to them. JJ guessed that they didn't get much happiness around here and seeing Henry improved their moods.
They came to Reid's room. Henry tried to brake free from JJ's grasp but she held on tight so that he couldn't go bounding over there and wake up Reid. JJ knelt down in front of Henry.
"Henry, Uncle Spencer is sleeping and he's really sore so you have to be very gentle," JJ explained.
"OK Momma," Henry said in a whisper, putting his finger up to his lips. JJ smiled and planted a kiss on top of his head. Henry crept over to Reid's bedside. It was too high for Henry so JJ came over and brought a chair up. Henry hopped in and gently nudged Reid's shoulder.
Reid's eyes immediately flew open and were full of fear, but after JJ and Henry beside him, he relaxed.
"Hi Uncle Spencer. Are you feeling better?" Henry asked and then placed his hand on Reid's forehead.
"Not yet Henry. The more I rest, the better I'll get," Reid explained.
"How are you feeling, Spence?" JJ asked.
"Not half bad. I'm final getting used to all these tubes stuck in me," Reid said.
JJ sat down on the edge of Reid's bed as she watched Henry and Reid talk. Reid had a smile on his face as he listened to his godson talk. Henry had an even bigger smile on his face as his Uncle Spencer listened to his stories. It brought a grin to JJ's face.
Addi walked cheerfully into Spencer's hospital room. She had a broken ankle so she wore crutches, which made it harder for her to walk. Her heart dropped a little as she saw Spencer with a blonde woman holding his hand as speaking quietly to each other, with a little boy sleeping next to Spencer.
"Addi, hi!" Spencer said enthusiastically.
"Hi, Spencer," Addi tried not to sound disappointed.
"This is JJ, she works with me at the BAU and this is my godson Henry," Reid explained. Addi was relieved to hear that they were just friends.
JJ stood up, shook Addi's hand and offered her a seat, which Addi took gratefully. JJ pulled up another chair on the other side of Spencer's bed and sat there.
"So how are you doing?" Spencer asked.
"I'm alright. I've got a broken ankle, arm, other arm and rib but I should be fine," Addi explained.
"Oh poor you!" Spencer teased, "So are you done with your tests? Are you free to go?"
"Not quite. They want me to stay here and rest until my rib has healed at least," said Addi.
"Oh hi everyone! Am I interrupting? If I am I'll just come back later," A blonde woman with a very bright and colourful outfit stood in the doorway.
"Hi Garcia, you can come in. We were just talking," Spencer said. The woman made her way to beside Spencer and stroked his hair.
"I'm so sorry," Garcia said wiping a tear from her eye.
"Garcia it's alright I'm fine. It's not your fault that all of this happened. And I'd like you to meet Addi," Spencer said. Addi turned towards Garcia.
"Hello, I'm Penelope Garcia," Garcia stretched out her hand and Addi shook it. It was a warm and friendly shake. Garica's smile was welcoming and seemed to make the world brighter.
"Hi I'm Addi Kathryn, nice to meet you," Addi said.
For the next couple of hours they sat in the room making jokes and enjoying themselves. Every once and a while another team member would show up, including Jack and Beth. Eventually Henry woke up and Addi was able to meet Spencer's godson for the first time.
2 months later…
I apologize in advance for the time jumpiness of the next few chapters.
