Missed me or the story?
"Pretty boy you should take it easy," Morgan whispers.
"Hotch is going to evaluate me when we return and you expect me to take it easy?" Reid asks.
"Babe I know you're worried but it'll be alright. Talk to me Pretty boy," Morgan insists.
"…I thought I was going to lose the fetus," Reid finally says.
Morgan holds his hand to reassure his lover. Reid closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. The team was fast asleep in their seats. This left Derek and Spencer as the only ones awake.
"He…he beat me…Patterson. He didn't want to, I could tell, he was threatened," Reid continues.
Morgan hugs him tight.
"When he died…I saw his eyes and they were relieved yet scared…scared for me. Then Lafayette came in to beat…he was rough and he truly hated me," Reid sibs lightly.
"Shh Pretty boy…I got you," Morgan kisses his forehead.
"He almost kicked me…and our b-baby," Reid cries breaking down.
"I'm sorry baby, I'm here now," Morgan kisses his lips tenderly.
"Derek," Reid looks into his eyes.
"I'm right here," he repeats pushing a lock of hair behind his lover's ear.
"I know, I'm sorry," Reid apologizes.
"Don't apologize babe," Morgan smiles sadly.
"I was afraid," Reid confesses.
"I know-"
"No…I mean I was afraid I wouldn't be able to call the fetus a baby," Reid looks away embarrassed.
"I understand…You're afraid to get attached to it," Morgan smiles.
"There are still so many risks," Reid sighs.
"Yes but you're not alone. You have the team and me by your side," Morgan kisses him again.
"I know…Derek?"
"Mmm?"
"What are we?" Reid asks.
"What?"
"Nevermind," Reid smiles nervously.
"Reid and Morgan?" Hotch calls softly.
"Sorry if we woke you," Morgan apologizes.
"Don't be, just remember to relax while you're off and forget about the BAU," Hotch smiles sympathetically.
"It's impossible with Reid," Rossi mutters eyes closed.
"I still think I'm capable to work," Reid protests.
"But I think likewise you are not, now stop arguing," Hotch turns back around.
"Fine," Reid mumbles.
"Derek and Spencer take the rest of the week off," Hotch reminds them.
"Alright-"
"And don't think of the BAU or work Spencer," Hotch smiles.
"Ok don't worry," Reid sighs defeated.
"Good, see you in a week," JJ hugs him before she leaves.
"Let's get you both home," Morgan smiles opening the car door.
"Thank you," Reid blushes.
They drove back home in silence until Spencer finally broke it.
"Derek…I love you," Reid said looking out the window.
"I love you too Pretty boy," Morgan replies.
"Are you mad?" Reid asks.
"Why would I be?"
"…Because I could've lost…our f-baby," Reid mumbled.
"It wasn't your fault, we didn't know he was working with the UnSub. I'm proud of you for holding on, with your strength the baby wasn't hurt," Morgan smiles.
"Really?"
Derek pulled the car over and leaned forward to kiss Spencer.
"Yes, you are so strong in every aspect," Morgan says breathless.
Spencer leans forward hugging Derek tight. Derek wraps his arms around his waist. He pulls his head closer and kisses him passionately.
"God Derek I want you," Reid whines.
"All in due time," Morgan chuckles pulling out and driving home.
