AN Please do not read if you have not seen the finale of season 3!

Disclaimer None are mine. They all belong to CBS I just like to play with them.

Okay well this story seems to have confused a few of you so I will explain a couple little things.

- First of all it was Morgan who got hurt; the previous chapters were his thoughts at hearing what had happened while in a coma. He heard bits and pieces when people were talking in his room, to him and each other. He was confused and thought it was different people as his mind struggled to understand that it was he who had been wounded.

-Second for those of you who want a chapter for Will in this story he "died" in the JJ chapter.

It was me.

The light streaming in from the blinds that Reid left open wakes me the following morning. For the first time I am awake and coherent enough to realize just how badly this hurts. My legs feel as if they are wrapped in cement that was filled with razors. There is throbbing every time I take a breath and even moving my hands feels like it takes too much strength.

I can see now how Reid got lost to the drugs because I would give anything for them right now but the button is too far away to reach.

"How are you this morning?" Rossi asks as he enters the room smiling.



"Please..." I gasp a little at the pain in my chest. "Please press the morphine." I look to him with desperation in my voice and then to the little red button with hope.

He rushes into the room and quickly presses the button multiple times. "It only works twice." I manage to smile at him, but he is not smiling back. His brows are low and close and I can see the worry written on his face.

"Is it better?" He asks after a few minutes.

"Yeah. Thank you."

"How long have you been in that much pain? Maybe one of us should stay here." I can see the concern wash over him.

"Since I woke and no I do not need a babysitter. Boy… I really blew my chances of promotion huh? And by blew I mean I literally blew them up." I try to laugh.

"That's not funny. And actually I have still heard talk of promotion." Though he said he didn't like the joke I can see a smile behind the scowl.

"I don't want it. My family is at the BAU and that is where I belong."

"I know that."

"I heard you guys you know when I was out." He raises his eyebrows at me.

"Really?" I can see him trying to mask the emotion on his face.

"Yeah it was kind of strange, just bits and pieces of what was being said though." I think back to the dream I had where JJ was the one in the car and remember him saying she was like family and for a moment I wonder if that was real if he said those things about me or if it was just that a dream.

"If you remember then you should know that I meant what I said." He looks at the door for an escape obviously uncomfortable with this level of honesty.

"Yeah you are like family to me to Rossi. You are like the asshole cousin who does what he wants and tells everyone about it when it is too late to do anything about. " I smile.

"Yup and you're the smart ass kid who just doesn't know when to stop and is just a little too proud to admit his mistakes." He smiles back.

AN Okay so if you hate it fine but I just couldn't imagine a real heartfelt conversation between these two. If enough of you review that you hate it I will take it down and repost a more sentimental version, but I hope you like it. I am glad that so many of you are reading this story. He will talk to each one individually so who should be next?
