As promised, here is the next chapter. I don't own Criminal Minds and all mistakes are my own. Enjoy!
Chapter 14
12 p.m. – 54 hours clean
Morgan got up and slowly walked over to Reid's room and opened the door.
The kid was still fast asleep.
Morgan hated to wake him, but he had to know what was coming.
Walking over, he sat on the side of the bed and gently shook Reid's shoulder. "Reid."
Reid groaned in response and opened one eye. "Huh?"
"Listen up, Reid. I need you to be awake for a minute."
"Okay. I'm awake" Reid said, opening both eyes.
"Garcia just called. She somehow figured out that..."
Reid stared in horror.
"No Reid. She thinks that you're sick and that I'm taking care of you, which is technically true."
Reid let out the breath he didn't even notice he was holding with a whoosh.
"…but the thing is, she's coming here."
"What?" Reid asked, terrified.
"She asked me if I needed anything and I'm running out of clean clothes…and we're kind of running out of food…"
"Then do some laundry! Go to the store! Don't call Garcia!" Reid whined.
"Reid, listen. I can't leave you alone."
Reid started to protest, but Morgan silenced him with a look.
"I won't leave you alone…and I didn't call Garcia, remember?"
Reid nodded somewhat reluctantly.
"Now, you can stay in here and go back to sleep, or you can come hang out in the living room. The choice is up to you."
Hesitating, he added, "…but if you go back to sleep, it might be better because if you're awake she'll try to stay all day and take care of you."
Reid chuckled a bit, knowing that what he said was the truth.
"I'll go back to sleep. I'm still tired anyway."
"Do you need anything? A glass of water?" Morgan asked.
"Water would be good. I have to stay hydrated."
Morgan just shook his head. Even when Reid was sick, he still followed the rules.
He got Reid a glass of water and then went to make lunch.
Might as well feed his babygirl.
There it was. I realize now that this chapter is REALLY short. …But that's okay, because I'll be posting the next chapter today. Stay tuned!
