Chapter 21

A few days later.

"I still can't imagine how Reid would have felt when he was in the warehouse with Micheal." JJ said as she walked with the others to the hospital.

"I felt much worse after we talked to Morgan a few days ago." Emily smiled to the nurse sitting in the reception.

"Guys, come on." Hotch stopped walking. "I thought we agreed not to talk about this in front of him."

"But, we can't help it." Garcia interrupted. "He went through all those horrible sufferings to save us."

"And that's why we are going to help him to move on, no matter what it takes, agree?" Rossi asked.

"Agree." Almost everyone said together.

"Come on. Let's go and see our Boy Wonder." Garcia walked pass the team and headed towards Reid's room.

Just when they arrived, they could hear Morgan's voice.

"Spencer, come on, open up." Then, after a pause. "Don't make me force you."

"What's up with open up or I will force you?" Garcia said as she opened the room door.

Everyone immediately chuckled when they saw the scenes unfolded in front of them. Morgan was sitting on the bed, near to Reid, with a bowl in his hand and he was holding a spoon near to Reid's mouth. Reid, on the other hand, had his hand crossed against his chest defensively, with his head turned to the other side, away from Morgan.

"He is refusing to eat… again?" Rossi asked, smiling.

"I have been holding this bowl in front of him for the past half and hour." Morgan grumbled.

"Hospital food sucks. I…" Reid started speaking but Morgan took advantage over the situation and slipped the spoon filled with food into Reid's mouth.

Having no choice, Reid gulped down the food, automatically. "You cheat!" Reid snapped.

"Seriously?" Morgan questioned.

"Okay, stop." Garcia said before she dropped down a paper bag on Reid's lap.

"What is it?" Reid dug into the bag using his unharmed hand.

"Something that will make you happy." JJ replied.

Reid pulled out a food container and grinned widely when he saw the food inside.

"Garcia, he can't have outside food. It is not healthy." Morgan seized the food container from Reid.

"Hey!" Reid snapped again. "Give me back."

"First of all, I have talked to the nutritionist in the hospital. They have given me a list of food items that Reid can eat and before you can ask, yes, I have made it on my own and it is healthy. Satisfied, Mr. Overprotective?" Garcia said before she took the food container from Morgan and hand it back to Reid.

Reid took a bite of his sandwich greedily before turning towards others. "May God bless you for saving my taste buds."

"He sounds so desperate…" Emily said before almost everyone started laughing.

"Morgan, why don't you go back, catch a nap while we take care of him? Hotch suggested.

"Are you sure? You guys just come back from Philadelphia." Morgan reconfirmed.

"I am absolutely sure, go!"

"Okay, Pretty Boy … I am going to go back for a while. Behave!" Morgan said, grabbing his jacket from the chair.

"Yes, Sir!" Reid said as he chewed his food without a break.

Morgan barely took few steps away from Reid's room when he heard Hotch's voice calling his name.

"Everything okay with Spencer?" Morgan asked instantly, turning towards Hotch.

"Yeah, the girls are with him. I wanted to talk to you. How are you?" Hotch asked with Rossi beside him.

"Good, the headaches has decreased a lot and my wound is healing just fine." Morgan pulled up his T-shirt and showed the small bandage on his side. "Although the scar doesn't look sexy on me."

"I am going to pretend as if I never listen to any of it." Rossi said before he walked in again.

"How are you guys doing with two people down?" Morgan questioned.

"Don't worry about that. We will manage somehow." Hotch said.

"There is something I need to talk to you about Spencer."

"What?" Hotch raised in eye brow.

"Nothing serious … for now I guess. First of all, we need to take him back home. He is feeling so lost and he definitely doesn't like it in here. About work, maybe if Garcia can set up a laptop for me, I can help you guys from home."

"Morgan, I can't ask your help. Reid needs you 24/7."

"That's the thing, Hotch. He is not saying it out but I can feel it. He is feeling a bit unproductive for depending on me for everything, so, if you agree to this, even Spencer can help with the cases. Giving consultations for the cases can keep his mind fresh, what do you think?"

"If you say so but just make sure that he doesn't push himself too much, okay?"

"Done. Thanks, Hotch and Spencer suppose to eat his medication now." Morgan checked his watch. "Ask nurse Stacey and make sure he takes his nap."

"Morgan, we got this." Hotch said.

"And if he…"

"Morgan, for God sake, get the hell out of here."

A few days later.

Reid was surprised to see Morgan packing all the things in a bag.

"Are you going home tonight?"

"No, we are."

"What?" Reid asked, smiling.

"Wow, look at that … your smile shines like a thousand watt light bulb. You hate hospitals, don't you?

'Shut up." Reid groaned. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well… surprise!" Morgan said before he pushed in a wheelchair. "Come on, let's get you dressed up and get out of here."

Reid was surprised again when the car was parked in front of Morgan's house. 'What are we doing here?"

"I know usually people would prefer to stay in their own home when they are sick but can you at least give it a try?" Morgan asked as he helped Reid to sit in his wheelchair.

"What if Clooney hates me?" Reid asked uncertainly although he liked the idea of him staying together with Morgan.

"He's going to love you."

"How do you know that?"

"Trust me." Morgan said as he wheeled Reid into his house.

Reid's breathing spiked up when he heard footsteps nearing him. Of course he has been around Clooney before but the fact that he has to stay with it, still seemed unbelievable to Reid.

"Derek!" Reid screamed and used his palms to close his face when Clooney jumped on him.

"Relax, Spencer."

Reid, a little by little moved his palm and saw Clooney playing with his legs while wagging its tail.

"I told you." Morgan said, smiling at Reid's facial expression.

"He likes me?" Reid mumbled. "What changed its mind?"

"I don't know, maybe it used to your smell." Morgan walked behind and wheeled Reid further inside his house.

"My smell? How…" Reid stopped talking when Morgan pushed him into a room. Every single thing in the room belongs to him.

"You move all my things from my apartment?" Reid asked, his voice shook a little.

"I thought that you could use some familiar things beside you." Morgan said.

"Even my blanket?" Reid asked, smiling.

"That was Garcia's idea."

Reid took a moment to look at the room, he felt as he was standing in his own room. "Thanks, Derek."

"Come on, let's get you to bed."

-CM-CM-CM-

"Derek, your hands are shaking."

"What?" Morgan asked, looking up, meeting Reid's eyes.

"Your hands." Reid said again.

"I know." Morgan said. "It's my first time without a nurse beside me.

"Just do it."

"Just let me know if I hurt you, okay?" Morgan proceeded to unbutton Reid's T-shirt, slowly, he took out the old bandage, cleaned the wound, applied the cream and carefully, he wrapped up a new bandage.

"It was okay right?" Morgan asked as he disposed the old bandages. "Did I hurt you?"

"No." Reid readjusted himself in his bed.

"Do you want me to read you a bedtime story?" Morgan asked, smiling.

"Seriously?" Reid was taken aback when Clooney jumped on the bed and rest beside him.

"Okay, Boy. Come and get me if something wrong with Spencer, okay?" Morgan talked to Clooney, patting its head.

The dog barked back, agreed to the job given before it lie down beside Reid.

"Goodnight, Spencer." Morgan wished as he pulled the blanket until Reid's shoulders.

"Thanks, Derek. I never had anyone, taking care of me like this before." Tears formed in the corner of his eyes.

"Well, it's about the time you have one."
