All mistakes are my own

Reid walked out of the hospital, a fresh set of clothes on and a calmed mind. Morgan smiled next to him as they made their way down the steps and towards the car park. Morgan put the bags in the SUV trunk while Reid slid into the front passenger seat. He waited as Morgan slid into the driver's seat. A smile came across Reid's face as they made their way back to Garcia's new apartment. He knew what was waiting for him at the apartment. His family and a lot of sweet cupcakes. It had been a month since he had reconciled with Morgan. He'd been declared mentally fit again and discharged from the ward. Never in his life, had he expected to end up in a place like that but he accepted that he had. Dr Olson had helped him through some difficult issues. Some issues he would never get past but he had learned to manage them. The impulse to take revenge now under lock and key. Winding down the window, he smiled as the wind hit his face and made his hair whirl around his face.

"Feel nice?" Morgan laughed.

"You have no idea," Reid grinned. "I spent most of my time at the ward in the garden. I feel like I shouldn't have ended up there. How did I let myself do that? I tried to kill a man, like an unsub."

"Reid, darkness warped your mind. A darkness that consisted of grief, rage and pain. Jake can't hurt anyone else. He is spending the rest of his life in prison. He killed your mother. If someone killed my mother, I would probably try to do the same thing. That's the reason you have family. Family is there to stop you when you are in a bad place. The goodness of a family, overcomes the darkness of grief."

"When did you start talking like a fortune cookie?" Reid joked playfully before becoming more serious. "Thank you for stopping me. I don't know where I would be if I had killed him. It would have haunted me for the rest of my life."

"Hey, that is what big brothers are for."

"I think that is what I needed growing up," Reid sighed. "I may have not had one then but, I'm glad I have one now."

Morgan smiled. After everything that Reid had gone through, hearing those words brought joy to his heart.

Morgan knocked on the door of Garcia's new apartment. The door opened to show a happy and beaming Garcia. In one swift movement, Reid was in her arms and struggling to breath at how tightly she was hugging him. He let out a small noise when she let go before breathing normally again.

"Welcome back, sweetie!" she giggled before pulling him into the apartment to the rest of the team. With an extra member added in.

"Emily," he smiled before walking forward. Emily put down her glass and immediately brought him in a hug.

"Nice to see you, Reid," she smiled before coming away from the hug. "Wonderful to have you back."

"It's awesome to see you again," Reid said happily.

"I even made cupcakes for her arrival," Garcia laughed gently before walking to the table and picking up a plate of cupcakes. Each one had an iced Union Jack on. She picked one up and held it out to Reid. "Eat up, sweetie. I know that hospital food wasn't nice and I want to put some more meat on those bones."

Taking the cupcake, Reid immediately took a bite and moaned. He hugged Garcia, cupcake balanced in one hand. "I missed these so much."

"We missed you," Hotch said from behind him. Reid brought his hand out to shake Hotch's hand but found himself in a hug instead. They separated and gave each other an understanding nod. Rossi stepped forward next and gave Reid another hug with an added italian kiss to the cheek. "Ben Tornato!" he said in italian.

"Thanks, Rossi."

Reid was about to hug JJ when a voice yelled from the kitchen. "Uncle Spencer!"

Henry ran to his godfather and giggled as Reid picked him up and gave him a gentle hug. "I missed you, Uncle Spencer. Are you better now?"

"I'm better," Reid nodded before he looked to the small card in Henry's hand. "What's that?"

"Alex helped me make it for you," Henry smiled before he handed the small card to Reid. Blake and Reid smiled at each other.

Reid opened the card and felt his heart warm. Pictures of the team glued to one side of the card while the other side consisted of pictures of Henry and himself. In the middle was a glittery message. 'Welcome back.'

"Do you like it Uncle Spence?" Henry asked.

"I love it," Reid grinned with happiness. "Thank you, Henry."

A few hours later

Reid, Garcia and Morgan sat on the living room rug and laughed together. The rest of the team had gone home for the night. They each took a sip of their wine. Garcia held up her glass.

"I want to make a toast. Spencer Reid, we love you and we could not live without you. To a brighter future and to making good memories. To Spencer."

Morgan held up his glass. "To Spencer."

Holding up his glass, Reid sighed. "To a better future. One with you all around me."

They all clinked their glasses together before finishing the wine in their glasses.

"What did you want to talk to me about?" Reid asked as he sat in Hotch's office. He still wasn't allowed back to work but Hotch had wanted to speak with him about an important matter.

"Due to your stay in the ward, the only way I could keep your father from getting to your mother's estate and her financial assets was by taking control of everything myself. I have power of attorney over you and due to a loophole, I got awarded temporary control over everything. When I was sorting everything out, I found a life insurance policy. Reid, your mother has left you $100,000. I need you to also sign this so you can take control of her things again."

"$100,000," Reid said in shock. "What am I supposed to do with that?"

"Reid, the policy is legal. It's already been awarded to you. I don't know what you want to do with it but it's there now."

"There is only one thing I could do with money like that."
