Hey everyone, here is the next chapter for you all. I hope you enjoy it. My other fanfic Connection will get updated tomorrow. I really overslept today and haven't had a lot of time to write. Let's just say things are about to get interesting in this chapter. I need to ask a favour. I usually never do this but I'm trying to find a fanfic and it is driving me bonkers. I've tried everything. I'm looking for a fanfic where Reid gets stabbed by an unsub and then left outside the house the team were in. The stab is in the shape of a heart. I would be eternally grateful to the person who finds this.

Thank you for all the reviews, they are amazing and are all of you. Thanks!

Enjoy and please review

All mistakes are my own

"I love that line," Garcia mused as she ate another gummy bear. "All those memories lost, like tears in the rain."

"It was completely improvised by Rutger Hauer. It wasn't in the script," Reid said. "There are many differences between the movie and the book it's based on. Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? The term Blade Runner was never in the book. Recent publications of the book have changed to now include the term," Reid said quickly. Garcia stared at him and loved his random facts. They watched to the end of the movie before she turned it off. She looked back to Reid to see him chewing something.

"Um, excuse me? Did you just take a gummy bear?" Garcia smirked as she held up the bag.

"Maybe," he smirked back.

They looked up at the door as a knock came. Moments later, Morgan walked into the room and smiled as he saw Garcia and Reid. Garcia held up a gummy bear in her hand. "Catch, my Adonis."

Garcia threw the gummy bear and Morgan caught it in his mouth. "Perfect throw. What are you doing here?"

"I just thought I would come and check on Reid," Morgan said, the panic he had felt on his drive over had disappeared the moment he had seen Reid.

"By the circles under your eyes, I would say you are here because you had a nightmare about me," Reid said. "Your quick knock, your tense body actions before you saw me. I thought I told you this wasn't your fault."

"I didn't have a nightmare," Morgan tried to lie.

"I had a bullet go through my back, not my brain," Reid said calmly. "I'm still capable of profiling someone. What was it about?"

"I was standing at your grave with the whistle I gave to you when you didn't pass your gun qualification. I turned around and saw you. Your stomach covered in blood and you blamed me for not protecting you, you blamed me for your death."

"Derek, I'm not covered in blood and I told you everything I already needed to tell you. You do protect me and you are not responsible for this. Kyle is responsible for everything. I'm okay. Stop thinking that you did something wrong."

"I know what you told me," Morgan nodded. "You have to understand, Reid. Seeing you get shot and having you die in my arms, which you did, is something that will take a long time to get over. You can't imagine what I felt when you had no pulse. You were dead and in that moment, I saw a future I didn't want to have any part in. I didn't want to carry your coffin or have to tell your mother you had died. You don't realise how important you are to the entire team, to this family. You are the glue that keeps us all together. Before you came, we were more a professional team. You brought a sense of need to the team. A need to be a family because that was the only way we were going to catch unsubs without the job affecting us. You lean on family to keep yourself from letting the evil take over. We almost lost that in the back of the SUV when you didn't have a pulse."

"I'm not the important," Reid said as he absorbed Morgan's words.

Garcia took Reid's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Yes, you are. We all constantly look out for you. You are a son to Rossi and Hotch, a little brother to Morgan, JJ, Blake and myself. We love you and we wouldn't recover if we lost you."

Reid stayed silent as he listened to them both.

"You always said that you felt like an outcast growing up." Morgan said. "You found a place with us and the team. You don't realise how important you are to us all."

"I guess I just didn't really think about it."

Putting her arm around Reid, she pulled him close and kissed him on the head. "I don't call you my baby boy for nothing."

Two weeks later

Reid went to grab a bag of stuff he had used during his hospital stay. Hotch caught his hand and gently moved it away. "I got it."

"I can carry a bag."

"You heard the doctor," Hotch said. "You still have to take it easy for a while. Your body is still bruised but they are fading. No strenuous activity."

Hotch placed the bag over his shoulder. "Come on, we are heading back to your apartment."

Reid walked slowly with Hotch towards the door. He still had to take it easy but he felt relieved to finally be leaving the hospital. A few staff members came over and said goodbye to him. Most of the nurses giving him a small kiss in the cheek. Helen came over to him and gave him a small hug.

"Take it easy, Spencer," she smiled. "Please say thank you to Penelope for the basket of gifts and the box of cupcakes. The nurses love them."

"I will," he nodded. "Thank you for everything."

Hotch and Reid waved goodbye before leaving the hospital. Reid sat in the SUV, he felt a twinge of pain but he knew his body would have to get used to moving around more. They began to make their way back to his apartment.

"When can I come back to work?" Reid asked as he stared out the window.

"We will discuss that another time," Hotch sighed. "You just got out of hospital. I am ordering you to take it easy."

"I have taken it easy in the hospital. My ribs are almost healed and my wrist won't take much longer. I'm ready to come back."

"No," Hotch said sternly. "Relax, heal and then I'll heap paperwork on you when you come back."

"Look forward to it," he smiled.

They arrived at Reid's apartment after twenty minutes. Hotch noticed the small wince from Reid as they climbed the stairs to his apartment. He admired Reid for going through everything with barely any pain medication. Reid had ordered the pain medication he had recievd in the beginning of his stay removed after a few days. Hotch walked and opened Reid's door with a key.

Reid grinned happily.

"Surprise!" the team shouted before pulling a few party poppers. Garcia rushed forward and hugged him. "Welcome home!"

"You didn't need to do all this."

"Yes, we did," JJ smiled.

"You have brand new locks on your door, some of the best," Morgan said before pointing to the door. "Good to see you out of that hospital."

"Everybody sit down, we are sitting down for a celebratory dinner," Garcia grinned as she ushered Reid over to the table.

"Are you sure you want to do this? If something goes wrong, it will come back to you. You will be in even more hell with the justice system."

"I want you to deal with them both. Leave Derek. You have all you need. Do the job!" Kyle snapped angrily.

"I'll do it. Quick or slow."

"Slow for them both."

"Just the way I like to do things," the man smirked. "I'll do the job and then I'm out of the country. I'll get your revenge."
