Brooke followed Morgan into the hospital,unsure of what she would find waiting for her when they found everyone else.

Morgan noticed her hesitation and fell back in step beside and slipped his hand into hers, "He's going to be okay."

"You don't know that."

Morgan felt his heart break at how small her voice sounded, "You're right,I don't. But,I know your brother and he will come back to us. He will come back to you."

Emily stood waiting outside the door of the waiting room looking for Morgan and Brooke. She was just about to call them when she saw the two walking towards her.

"Hey,how is he?" Morgan asked as Emily pulled Brooke into a hug.

Emily didn't respond,instead her eyes told Morgan that it wasn't looking too good for Spencer.

"Emily,can I see him?" Brooke asked as she pulled away.

"Not yet,kiddo. He is still in surg-" Emily was cut off by doctors rushing into the O.R.

Brooke didn't miss the one who said, "Federal agent coding."

Brooke tore away from Emily and tried to follow but felt herself being pulled back. She fought against whoever was holding her back until strong arms wrapped around her.

"Shhh,Brooke. Calm down,sweetie. I need you to focus on my voice. Listen to me,Brooke," Hotch said in a low voice until he felt her collapse against him.

"He's...he's not going,Hotch I need to see him," Brooke said as she tried one last time to get out of his grasp.

"You can't see him. Not right now,they'll let us know when you can. We just need to wait," He said softly trying to calm her down, "Let's go sit with the rest of the team."

Brooke let herself be led into the waiting room where she collapsed on the couch next to Garcia and JJ who wrapped her in a double hug.

"Family of...Spencer Reid?" The doctor asked as he stepped into the waiting room.

Hotch was about to stand up when he realized Brooke was sleeping against him. They had been sitting there for nearly four hours. Emily saw his struggle and helped move Brooke over to lay against JJ.

"I'm his medical contact,what can you tell me?"

"His injuries are quite severe. We lost him on the table twice and as much as I hate to say this I don't know if he will pull through. He slipped into a coma and now we just wait."

Hotch felt like he had been punched in the stomach, "What do you mean?"

"We did all we could,it is up to Spencer on what he wants to do."

"How long until we know?"

"It's hard to say,I'm sorry."

"Can we see him?"

"Of course you can. It would be wise to talk to him. Tell him stories and just tell him about anything that comes to mind."

"Alright,thank you doctor."

"If there is anything I can do let me know. He is in room 302."

Hotch shook the doctors hand and then went to break the news to his team and Brooke.

"Brooke?" Hotch found her staring out the window in the waiting room.

Morgan had woken her up and they were headed to go see Spencer. When they were almost to his room Hotch turned and saw Brooke wasn't there.

He backtracked and saw her standing at the window,her thin hands gripping her shirt.

Brooke turned towards him,her eyes glistening with tears, "I can't do it."

"Do what?"

"See him. I can't go in there and just talk to him like everything is okay when it's not."

Hotch went and stood next to her and pulled her close, "He needs to hear your voice."

"Why does it matter?"

"Because he can still hear you and needs to know you're here waiting for him to wake up."

Hotch saw she was fighting back tears, "It's okay to cry you know. In fact,if you broke down it might give everyone else permission to cry too."

Brooke smiled and wiped her eyes, "I'm fine now. I just needed a moment."

"You sure?"

"Yeah,I'm sure."

"So,you need to get better soon. I don't really have anyone else so if you don't wake up I'm kind of screwed," Brooke said as she gripped her brother's hand.

"Also the team needs you so if you don't get better they may disband the BAU. I'm totally kidding,they wouldn't do that but they would miss you. I would miss you Spence. I'm sorry I didn't answer the phone or tell you I love you. I do love you. You're the best big brother ever and I really really love you and please just wake up," Brooke pleaded.
