Hey everyone, here is the next lovely chapter for you all. Sorry the chapter is so short.
Thank you all for the reviews, they were great and awesome as always.
Okay so I want to put this forward and be honest with you. I would like to give Reid a happy ending and I would like to have him end up with Emily. I'm a sucker for them being together. I will leave it with you though. Would you prefer Reid to meet someone new and unknown and be with them? Or what you be happy with him being with Emily?
Enjoy and please review
All mistakes are my own
"Garcia, can I speak with Reid alone for a few minutes?" Emily asked. Garcia looked up and saw that Emily had serious look in her eyes.
"I'll go make some hot chocolate, I'll be right back," Garcia assured a nervous Reid. Reid let go of Garcia's hand and watched her leave. He looked up to see Emily with a stoic nature on her face, he knew all too well that Emily only ever had that face when she was angry.
"Reid, where did you get the diludid?" Emily asked. Reid put his head down in shame, he didn't want to tell her where he had got it from.
"Reid, I won't ask you again. Where did you get the drugs?"
"I-I brought th-them about three m-months ago a-after I visited my o-old apartment. I had the c-craving back then a-and I was a-able to fight it but after seeing J-JJ almost get hurt t-the way I got h-hurt, it was h-harder to fight t-the craving. I-I've had some good times and some bad times. I-I fear being h-happy because I know s-something will be around the corner t-to take it away," Reid said in a small voice.
"Why didn't you talk to the team? Why would you turn to drugs again or even consider them an option? The entire team is here for you and all we want to do is help you," Emily sighed as she sat beside Reid.
"You a-all lives and I-I don't want to be in everyone's w-way, you don't think I-I notice that Morgan h-hovers around me and checks my g-gun when I'm away f-from my desk. He checks it a-at least twice a-a week. Hotch ch-checks my desk when I'm not around t-to see if I'm still s-smoking. Rossi k-keeps an eye on me more and more. JJ keeps inviting m-me over f-for dinner every weekend. Garcia practically lives with m-me," Reid chuckled slightly before turning to Emily. "Y-You let me beat you at p-poker."
"E-Emily, I'm sorry but I hate b-being a burden to e-everyone."
"Reid, you are not a burden to any of us. We all do these things because we want to make sure you are protected and safe. Morgan checks you gun because he wants to make sure it is there in working order, JJ invites you over dinner because she wants to keep you close after she came so close to losing you at the hands of Jay and others. Hotch doesn't want your life to be cut short by a habit that you have lectured us about too often. Rossi watches you like a hawk because you are like a son to him, he doesn't want to lose you. Garcia is Garcia, you two have become so close and she doesn't want to lose you. She doesn't want to lose part of her family."
"Reid, I don't let you win at poker. You are better than before if that was even possible. I want you to remember that the entire team is here for you and we will be with you. The entire team is your family and family care for each other. So I want you to listen to my words. If I ever find out you have drugs in your home, I will personally be over to kick your 187 IQ ass. Understood?" Emily warned Reid.
Reid considered her words, he knew that she was right but he couldn't fight the feeling of being a burden. He also knew that Emily didn't make empty promises, he knew that she would probably kick his arse in some way in form.
"Understood," Reid said shakily.
Emily smiled and gave Reid a quick kiss on cheek before ruffling his hair slightly. "I'm happy that you understand that. I'm going to go help Garcia with the hot chocolate. Pick out a movie for us to watch."
Reid watched Emily walk out of his room, he brought his hand up to his cheek and touched the area where Emily had kissed her cheek. He dropped his hand down and let a small smile appear on his face.
One hour later
Emily looked over to the couch from her chair and smiled at the sight she saw. Reid had fallen asleep on the pillow that was laid out of Garcia's lap. She smiled as she watched Garcia stroke her hand through his hair. Garcia noticed Emily staring at them.
"I use to do this when I would have movie nights with him after his kidnapping by Jay Henson. He doesn't have nightmares when I do this and he looks so peaceful. He looks so innocent like this," Garcia said before she pulled the blanket covering Reid up a little further.
"I don't know what he would have done without you," Emily smiled back at Garcia.
