**Sorry this is shorter than the other chapters, my arm injury flaired up again!**

"It's been almost two weeks," Spencer said to Rossi, who'd been coming by everyday, "What if she doesn't wake up."

"Reid, she will wake up, it's just going to take time. The doctors said she was stable, right?"

"Right, but stable and awake aren't the same thing."

Just then a nurse came in to inform Rossi visiting hours were over. After Rossi left, he sat back in the chair beside Liz's bed, he hadn't left the hospital once since she'd been brought in. Gideon had gotten his apartment key and brought him clean clothes, and JJ and Will had sat with her long enough for him to take a shower in the small bathroom attached to her room.

He eventually dozed off, head resting on the bed. He wasn't sure how long he'd been asleep, when the dream came. They were laying in bed together, her hand running through his hair, it was simple, yet so real, he clung to it, until it ended and he was back to his normal, restless sleep.

Something was different, he could still feel her touch, it startled him awake. Or atleast he'd thought he was awake, it was too much to hope that this was real. He was staring into her eyes, she was awake, he literally reached down and pinched himself, it hurt.

"What are you doing?" her voice was hoarse, but he was pretty sure it was the best sound he'd ever heard.

He buried his face in her hair, then ran a hand down her cheek, "You're awake, I thought I'd lost you."

Confusion flickered in her eyes, "How long have I been here?"

"Almost two weeks," he said, grasping her hand, for the first time it wasn't just limp in his, she tightened her grip around it.

Shock filled her face, "My ring, he took it," she said weakly.

He quickly reached over and got it off the nightstand, "It's right here," he said, sliding it on her finger.

She smiled, her features drawn, weak.

"I should call the doctor," he said, picking up the call button, and for the first time noticing the time, 12:57A.M.

The doctor came in and sent Spencer out of the room in order to examine Liz. He hated being away from her, even for a short period of time. He'd promised the team he'd call as soon as she was awake, but wondered if he should wait until morning as late as it was. He pulled out his phone and dialed Garcia, knowing she would kill him, if he waited.

"Garcia, it's Spencer, Liz is awake,"

There was squealing and a hurried "I'll be right there, and call everyone else," not giving him a chance to object before hanging up.

He cleared the visitors with the desk, sometimes being FBI had its perks, nobody asked questions. Everyone practically arrived at once, and Spencer was back at Liz's side when they crowded in the small room. He worried it may be overwhelming for her to have them all around at once, but she smiled and hugged each of them.

"You guys didn't have to come so late," she said, still smiling.

Will laughed, "You must be crazy if you think we'd be anywhere else,"

Spencer smiled, tightening his grip on Liz's hand. She was awake, she would recover, and they would spend the rest of their lives together.

"I can feel you in my sleep. In your arms I feel you breathe into me. Forever hold this heart that I will give to you, forever I will live for you." Skillet
