Only one flashback! Isn't that exciting? haha

Three days later Reid was sitting upright trying to reach the grapes that lay just out of reach at the end of his bed. Nora, who was sitting on the other side of the room, giggled at all of his feeble attempts. There were flowers dotted around the room from the BAU, other FBI agents, Bennington Sanatorium, from some of his fans and even from Gideon his old mentor. However it was only Nora's tulips that stood in pride of place on his bedside cabinet, "come on Nora I just want some grapes." He whined slightly. He was able to sit upright but he couldn't do copious amounts of movements so he deemed that leaning forward for grapes too stressful.

"Morgan's just getting some jello for you though." Her gaze never left the German book she was reading. A nurse had advised her not to be near Reid after she'd returned from a shower as the last time that had happened she'd made a reference to the last time they'd taken a shower together which had played merry hell with Reid's heart monitor.

"Please?" And he whipped out that puppy dog gaze of his. Rossi, casually creeping in the doorway, quirked his eyebrows upon seeing Reid playfully manipulate his girlfriend. Rossi, looking down at this full coffee from the canteen and deciding it wasn't what he wanted, left to give the couple some more privacy. Nora chuckled, put down her book and went over to his bed. His face contorted in to that innocent smirk with those smacked lips.

"Move over than lover." He did as ordered and she duly clambered up in to the bed with him, placing the grapes on his lap. He could feed himself after all; she wasn't that easy to manipulate. Wordlessly the couple seemed to melt in to each other, like this was how they'd sit all the time, like they'd been doing it for many years. When they weren't arguing with each other, it usually was how they sat. It was like they each had a void that only the other could fill. They sat like that watching movies in each other's apartments or when they read books or even when they played chess. Reid always won needless to say. Even when they were arguing they couldn't stay away from each other for long.

The dog in the downstairs flat was barking in response to the raised voices of Nora and Reid as they battled it out in one of their first arguments. Well Nora's voice was raised; Reid's was just getting creative with the pitch.

"I come over and there's Lila Archer lounging away as if she owns the flat and you expect me to believe nothing happened?" Nora angrily paced back and forth around the living room a good few minutes after the actress in question, who was pretty well known by now, had left. She flung her arms around as she spoke narrowly missing Reid's many bookcases and even some of his doctorates. He wisely didn't mention anything from his nervous vigil on couch though. Finally he managed to stammer out,

"Well… yes actually. Because nothing did happen. Although a couple of years back…" It had been unwise to continue on with that train of thought.

"So you've dated?"

"I wouldn't say dated so much as kissed in her pool…"

"And now she wants you!" This was a statement more than a question as, when Nora had arrived, Reid had been making coffee in the kitchen and Lila had been wandering around the apartment wearing nothing but wet hair, a long t-shirt and a smile. Naturally Nora had been furious but politely remained tight lipped. As soon as Reid had seen her, kissed her in welcome and introduced her as his girlfriend, Lila made the speediest of exits, fully clothed and pleading excuses. The man was dumbfounded when Nora exploded. Apparently Lila needed the shower as her hotel's water had 'broken', "well don't let me stop you! Go for it! She's gorgeous and clearly wants you."

"You know I don't judge by looks-" Before the poor man even had a chance to add on the word 'alone' Nora took it completely the wrong way and stormed out of apartment. Both of them hadn't slept that night, staring at the phone, pacing and waiting. Finally at two in the morning Reid turned up at Nora's door, soaked to the skin from the storm he'd walked in to get there apologising profusely. He should've told her, should've done this or should've done that. But Nora didn't particularly care, had lost all of her anger seeing him outside her door like a drowned rat. She apologised for over-reacting and just like that they melted together again.

All of the BAU members, with the added extra of Will and Henry, finally found themselves in the same room as Nora and Reid, with them finally together. Over the past three days all of them had somehow found ways of not being in the same room together, so it looked like they'd never met before. When Reid finally came round the others had been on some local case. When they finally traipsed in after all of the paperwork had been completed Nora had been sent home collecting more things to stay longer in the hospital. But now they were all in the same room, having walked in on the couple looking cosy with Nora reading and Reid happily eating some grapes, one arm on Nora's knee. He finally made the nervous attempt of introducing her as his girlfriend eating the jello Morgan had brought him.

"We've already met her kid." Morgan grinned although he automatically shook her hand.

"So we have! We've already been planning your welcome home party at Nora's when you finally get out." Garcia grinned her Cheshire cat smile and Reid shivered comically, worried as to what plan they'd all roped Nora in to.

"Yup, and I got all of your stuff from your house so that you can move in to hers for the month. It's just bigger and you'll have more space." Prentiss butted in, eager to have her say too. Between them all they'd arranged for Reid to have a full recovery, looked after by everyone. They'd even organised meeting times around his medication, if a case didn't come up of course. Nora had hired a friend to take over the shop for some of the month. Everything had been arranged when the poor genius had been unconscious, Nora becoming better acquainted with all of them in the process, her and Garcia most of all. They could all see how close her and Reid were and how much she loved him.

"Sorry I haven't introduced you before. I just-"

"Wanted her all for yourself. We understand." Surprisingly it was Hotch who said this and they all turned to him with raised eyebrows apart from Nora. She just looked a little confused at their surprise, "I can be understanding you know." Hotch joked causing another wave of surprised blinking, "and joke. Well it's good to see that you're better Reid. We'll see you at work in a month. Now I've got to get back to Jack." And with a brusque nod he turned on his heel and left. That was more like the Aaron Hotchner they all knew. With excited grins all of them turned back to Nora and Garcia who were busy discussing the welcome back party.

It was an odd group they all made but somehow it seemed to work out okay in the end.
