Chapter Five
Hotch managed to stay in Reid's room a total of 23 minutes after nurse Tanner left, Reid suspected she was stalling for time since Hotch had been the only person to come visit him.
It took 15 minutes for Reid to convince Hotch not to be to harsh towards the rest of the team, and in those 15 minutes Reid realized how furious Hotch actually was. It confused him, after all why would Hotch be angry when they had more important things to think about! They needed to find Foyet before he did something none of them could every forgive.
"I'll come back and visit you okay?" Hotch said clapping Reid lightly on the shoulder.
"Hotch you need to rest!" Reid protested, "In case you forgot you're hurt!"
"And so are you Reid." Hotch said grimly.
"Alright, enough chit-chat, you need to get back to your room." Hotch's doctor, Dr. said sternly yet not unkindly.
"See you later." Hotch said allowing a nurse who followed his doctor into the room to help him into a wheelchair before wheeling him back to his room on the first floor, two floors down.
Nurse Tanner looked at Reid and smiled at him, "How about you get some rest and Dr. Smith will be in to see you later, okay? I'll make sure to sneak an extra Jell-O in your lunch."
Excited Reid grinned boyishly at her, "Thank you!"
Reid ended up waiting almost two hours for Dr. Smith to come to his room, he couldn't bring himself to fall asleep, he was supposed to leave this morning but due to the sudden increase in pain with his knee she decided to keep him longer as to have X-Rays done.
"Did you need me for something Dr. Reid?" Dr. Smith asked smiling.
"Well..." Reid looked down and fiddled with one of the loose strings he found in his sheets, "I was wondering when I could leave...?"
"D. Reid," Dr. Smith sighed, "I already told you I plan on keeping you here longer so we could perform a few more tests."
"But how long is longer?" Reid's eyes met hers searching for a answer, he did not like what he saw.
"For another 3 days I'm afraid."
"B-"
"No buts! We're being cautious and doing everything we can to ensure your full recovery," Dr. Smith cut him off, "Isn't that what you want? To get better and be able to get back in the field?"
"...Yes..."
Dr. Smith sighed and spoke in a softer more gentle tone, "Dr. Reid...may I call you Spencer?" At Reid's nod she continued, "I guarantee you that I will do everything within my power to help you through this. But I'll need your full cooperation, can you give me that?"
Reid bit his lip and looked down at his lap as he nodded.
"I'm sorry Spencer."
Sighing Reid forced himself to look Dr. Smith in the eye and smile, "It's okay...really! You're doing your job and you really are helping me. Thank you."
Leaving St. Sebastian Hospital is one of the things Reid didn't know he needed so badly until he was going to be trapped there for a total of 6 days if nothing else came up.
Looking at the clock and realizing Sam and Dean would've been in the state by now, Reid pulled out his cellphone and dialed Sam's number.
"Spencer! You're on speaker. Hey so Dean and I-"
"I'm not leaving the Hospital." Reid blurted out unintentionally cutting Sam off.
"Okaaay...why not?"
"W-Well...Uh-" Before Reid could say another word the door to his room suddenly flung open startling him so badly he yelped and dropped his cell down onto his sheets. He could just barely hear Sam and Dean's muffled shouts coming from the other line. But it was kind of hard to move at the moment since when the door opened so suddenly his knee jerked causing him pain.
"Fucking Christ." Reid muttered snapping his head to the side to see just who came barging into his room while his hand traveled down to grip his knee tightly, "Wha-? Garcia?"
tannerrose5: Your welcome! I hope you enjoy watching it, it's an amazing show that gets even better with time~! They're both injured and will be needing sick leave, Hotch is going to play a big role in this story along with Sam and Dean. And I'm really glad you're enjoying the story so far! I'm trying to update as soon as I possibly can. I just finished episode 16 of season 12 for Criminal Minds and all I can think about is how much possible angst I can write for Spencer!
Pink-Libra-Girl: Thank you for the review and I'm glad you love the story!
I would like to apologize for this chapter being so much shorter than the already short ones I've been posting. Hopefully they'll get longer~!
