...her day would soon take a turn she wished never happened

Once JJ left Reid went to his bathroom to get a shower going. He had to be careful while taking a shower to not disturb his arm cast. Once he managed the shower he got out and started to change into some more comfortable clothing. He was having a bit of trouble putting on his pants as he could only really use one hand and before he knew what was happening he was tripping over his pant leg and fell and hit his head on his ottoman at the end of his bed.

He was lucky he decided to purchase a cushioned ottoman as opposed to a wooden one but the cushion could only do so much. He took his free hand to the place of impact to try and alleviate some of the pain. All of a sudden his brain was working overtime, causing a flood of memories push through his thoughts. he didn't know what to think of them because they didn't seem real, but then again he didn't know why he would be thinking of random memories. He swiftly came to the conclusion that they were the memories he had forgotten in that timespan between taking Henry to the park and waking up in the hospital.

Now that he got why he was all of a sudden getting those memories he sat down and put his pants on and then went to his living room and sat on his couch. All he could do next was to now go over all the new found memories and try to think something of them.

"Henry don't run to far from me i don't want you to get hurt." Reid said to Henry while walking with him in the park. Reid couldn't hear his response as he was too far away. Reid looked over his shoulder for one second because he heard something and when he looked back toward He saw Him on the ground crying. "Henry!"

"I couldn't believe what i was seeing. I've never seen Henry hurt before so I didn't really know how to react." Reid said to himself.

"Oh my god oh my god what do I do" Reid internally panicked as he never had this situation happen before.

"Hey Spence Is everything alright?" JJ asked after picking up Reid's call.

"JJ Henry got hurt. I'm at the park with him. I carried him to my car and I'm taking him to the hospital now. He tripped and fell. I'm so sorry." Reid said all in one quick breath not knowing what JJ's reaction would be.

"WHAT? How could you let that happen!? Me and Will are head over to the Hospital right now." JJ shouted over the phone and hung up abruptly.

"I've also never seen JJ that upset before. And I've seen her get upset with nosey media reporters while on cases." Reid softly chuckled to himself. "I cant really complain tho i would probably have reacted similarly."

"Hotch can you get yourself and the rest of the team over to the hospital? I'll tell you the full story once you get there but long story short Henry got hurt while i was at the park with him." Reid said calling Hotch next.

"Yes Reid we will all be there. How is Henry doing now?" Hotch asked already rounding up the team.

"He's a fighter, he's crying every now and then but I'm coping with him, i don't know what's hurt but he's conscious." Reid said

"Does JJ know?" Hotch asked.

"Yes i called her first and and she didn't take it well.

"I expected that. Reid before you go there i just want to tell you its not your fault. i hope you know that."

"I know that but i hope i can get JJ to understand that i didn't intentionally mean for Henry to get hurt."

"It was an honest accident, I told Henry not to run too far away from me but he was already too far for me to hear a response. It's not like i told him to run as far away from me and get hurt." Reid argued with himself trying to make sense of it all.

Reid has already filled out Henry's papers at the hospital and was waiting in the waiting room with the rest of the team when JJ and Will got there.

"Where is he!" JJ demanded with a hint of anger in her tone.

"He's getting looked over with a doctor now." Morgan said as he noticed Reid was staring at the ground.

"How could you let this happen Spence?" JJ asked in a displeased manner.

"I told Henry not to run too far away from me and to hold my hand when in public but he wasn't listening to me and was already too far for me to hear a response. I look over my shoulder for a second while walking over to him because i heard something. and i turned around and saw him on the ground." Reid answered.

"You heard something? What could you have possibly heard that would take your eyes off of Henry like that?" JJ said now getting a little furious with him.

"I don't know i thought i heard my name being called and Henry wasn't THAT far away from me so i didn't have a doubt i would lose sight of him." Reid responded now getting a little aggravated himself.

"Well i sure hope that whatever you heard was more important than my SON." JJ practically shouted.

"JJ, I'm sorry! I swear it was just for a second! I didn't mean for this to happen!"

"Did she really start getting mad at me because she thought i would intentionally have Henry get injured? I thought she was my best friend who knew me better than i knew myself." Reid thought to himself."

"Just leave I don't want you here right now. you are a horrible godfather!" JJ yelled at him.

"JJ..." Reid started.

"LEAVE" JJ shouted as loud as she could

"A horrible godfather? is that really what she thought I was? it was only an accident." Reid said to himself.

"I cant believe she said all that to me. I thought she knew me better than that to willingly allow something like that to happen to Henry." Reid said aloud as he was rushing out of the hospital.

"What does she mean by yelling at me to leave? What did she want me to leave? The hospital because she just couldn't see me at that moment? Leave the hospital because Henry was there and she didn't trust me near him anymore? Leave Henry altogether because she thought i was a horrible godfather? Leave her life and to stop being friends with her? I don't get it. I cant beli-" Was the last thing Reid thought to himself before he looked up and saw a pair of headlights come straight toward him.

That was also the last thing Reid remembered before waking up from the coma in hospital with JJ by his bed.

"Wait a minute if JJ was furious with me why was she sitting next to me waiting for me to wake up?" Reid questioned himself. "I thought she was furious at me. Did something happen while i was in that coma that made her realize i was telling the truth? if that was the case why didn't she tell me the truth about why i got hit by that car? Was who i got hit by really a drunk driver or was i the one who wasn't paying attention because i was too in thought over what JJ meant when she said 'leave'. Is that why she didn't let Henry see me in the hospital? because she didn't want Henry to ruin her lie?" Reid had so many questions that his 187 IQ brain couldn't answer.

He really wanted to call JJ that moment to ask her all the'se questions hoping she would have answers but he felt this was something he needed to do in person. But she was just at his place not to long ago and didn't want her to drive all the way back here. "Wait why do I care? Shouldn't i be mad at her? She was technically the one who caused me to get hit right? Reid pondered to himself debating on what to do.

"No i cant be mad at her. If me and her swapped positioned and i found out my child got hurt under her watch i would probably be just as furious. Also she was at my bedside waiting on me to wake up and she did create that lie as to why i got hit." Reid went back and forth with himself on what to do.

"Wait why did she lie about that tho? Did she not want me to find out the truth and run the risk of me getting angry at her and to end our friendship? I don't think I've ever gone longer than a day or two holding a grudge so i doubt i would have stayed mad at her forever. I need to talk to her tomorrow and tell her i forgive her, i can only imagine hows she's feeling internally." Reid finally decided. He also needed to call her right now tho to tell her about a slight change of plans for tomorrow.

"Hey Spence. Is everything alright?"

Authors Note: Ok so I lied. Next chapter will be the last chapter. As i was writing this one i felt like the story needed Reid to go back on the memories he lost and to think about it rather than just get a head injury and get the memories back and thats it. Also I'm writing Reid as him being forgiving and not upset toward JJ. Kinda hence the title of this story, "To Forgive" as in forgive JJ, "Or Forget" as in forget about everything their friendship has built and just focus on that one fight. this last chapter should hopefully wrap everything together. Let's get to it!
