All mistakes are my own

Two months later

Reid found himself feeling more nervous than ever as he stood in the front of the glass doors. He was nervous about what lay behind the glass doors. Reid knew that everyone was there to try and help him but he knew he also needed to prove himself again. He needed to prove to everyone that he could still be a good profiler. Reid took a deep breath before he walked into the bullpen. He looked around nervously at the other agents, he was happy that his arrival had gone unnoticed.

He walked through the bullpen and up the stairs towards Hotch's office.

Reid was so happy when Hotch told him he could come back to work. A small part of him was always going to be afraid of each unsub they had to catch but he knew that part would always be there. He had talked with Hotch, Morgan and Gideon about the prospects of him returning to the BAU. They had all encouraged him to return but only when he was ready.

Reid knew he was ready now. He knew he was ready to be a profiler again.

Reid also couldn't help but feel greatful to Hotch for the rules of his return to the BAU. He knew that Hotch was determined more than ever to keep Reid safe. Reid was happy that he wasn't going to be put into full active duty till he was fully able to handle it. He was going to be with Penelope for the next month before Hotch was going to allow him to travel with the rest of the team to cases.

He knew he could do this. He had beaten so many odds over the last few months. He was determined to beat even more.

Hotch knocked on Hotch's office. He jumped slightly when Hotch opened the door so quick.

"Hello Reid, it's great to see you back. How are you feeling?" Hotch said as he motioned for Reid to enter the his office. Reid walked in and sat down in the chair near Hotch's desk.

"I'm f-fine. I'm happy t-to be back," Reid said before he made a mental note to work on his speech that night.

"That's great. Are you ready to jump back into profiling?" Hotch asked as he took his seat behind the desk.

"Yes I am. I-I'm ready, w-was Strauss okay with me r-returning?" Reid asked as he worried about the team getting into trouble with Strauss because of him.

"She was concerned at first but you've passed all the necessary tests to return. She wants you to stick to the rules of your return and and I also want you to stick to them. Don't hesitate to take a day to rest if you need to and I want you to tell any one of the team if you are having any health problems. You will be with Garcia for a month and then I will take you on a outbound case on probationary basis. Do you agree to these terms?" Hotch explained to Reid.

"I-I agree to them. I-I-I'm just happy to be out of the a-apartment. I've f-felt a little tr-trapped for last week or s-so,"
Reid admitted.

"Just pace yourself and I don't want you to push yourself. Garcia is waiting for you in the office, she is a bit excited to have you with her for the next month," Hotch smiled before he got out of his seat, Reid got up as well and followed Hotch out of the office. Reid looked around the room nervously again, he managed to hide his nervous feeling from Hotch.

They quickly arrived at Garcia's office. Hotch opened the door for Reid. Reid jumped slightly at what happened next.

"Welcome back," the team said happily as Reid walked into the small office. Reid let out a small laugh and smiled as Garcia walked foward and gave him a hug. Reid returned the hug before Garcia released him. Rossi walked over and gave Reid an awkward half hug. Reid quickly hugged the rest of the team.

"Welcome back Agent Reid," Garcia said happily before he pointed to a space on her desk.

"That half of the desk is all yours, you can do whatever you want to it. I hope don't mind but I moved most of your stuff in here already," Garcia smiled as she let Reid to his chair and say him down.

The rest of the team looked at him and felt immensely proud of Reid. They had watched his memory improve although he still had trouble with a few things. His speech was still a work in progress and had now been reduced to a stutter. They all noticed that the stutter got worse when he became angry, nervous or upset. They had seen him get angry on a few occasions but he had thought through the bad times and had now entered the good times.

"T-thank Garcy," Reid said before he suddenly realised what he had said.

"I-I'm s-sorry, I m-meant to call you-" Reid panicked before Garcia put her hand on his shoulder to calm him.

"Reid, it's fine. You can call me what ever you want," Garcia laughed gently.

"Except babygirl, I'm the only one that gets to call her that," Morgan smiled at them both.

"Okay everyone, we all have work to do and I think that Reid would like to get used to his new surroundings," Hotch told the rest of the team as he noticed that Reid was starting to look a little overwhelmed.

The team all said goodbye to Reid and each of them told him to come and find them if he needed help. Garcia assured everyone that she was going to be there to help him.

"Take it easy Reid," Hotch ordered Reid before giving Garcia a small nod, Garcia returned the nod and watched as Hotch left her office. She turned to Reid and noticed a confused look on his face.

"What is it Reid?" Garcia asked.

"What was the small nod for?" Reid asked, he knew that a nod had many behavioural meanings but he didn't want to guess this time. He wanted to know what it was for.

"That nod was a 'look after him no matter what' nod," Garcia told him. Reid nodded as he understood why the team was being protective of him.

"So are you ready to jump back in?" Garcia asked as she switch on all her computers and monitors. Reid turned his computer on and looked back her.

"I'm ready," Reid said confidently.

The last chapter will be posted tomorrow *sad face*
