Hey everyone, I hope you all enjoy this chapter, I enjoyed writing it. We find out just how far the team will go in this chapter to save him, just go with it. I'm glad that some people agree that there has not been enough Reid in season nine, he's one of the best characters of the show and I just think he's being wasted in the background of the show. I'd love Gubler to guest star on Supernatural as an evil demon, I can imagine that in my head. Only two chapters left after this chapter! Enjoy and I look forward to hearing from you all.

Thank you so much for all the reviews, you're wonderful and superb, I just adore every review. Thank you!

Enjoy and please review

All mistakes are my own

Rossi waited outside the hospital room, he had called William Reid and ordered him to come to Virginia. He knew that he would be arriving at the hospital anytime now, it had been hours since he had stormed out of Reid's hotel room to call him. The hospital lab had become backlogged and they still had not received the results from their tests to see who was compatible with Reid.

"Agent Rossi," a voice came from above him. He looked up to see William Reid, out of breath and slightly dishevelled. "Where is Spencer?"

"Before we go into his room, I'm going to need you to answer a question. Your son needs a new kidney and you will definitely be a match. Will you give him a kidney?"

"What's wrong with him? You wouldn't tell me on the phone."

"Answer the question, William."

"I can't," William shook his head. "I would if I could but I can't."

"Why can't you give him a kidney?"

"I got sick a year ago and I'm not able to give Spencer a kidney, I'm still taking medication and undergoing treatment. Please, what is wrong with him? We haven't spoken since Vegas and Riley."

"He's in renal failure and he needs a new kidney. A few months ago, he got infected with a deadly virus by a man who wanted revenge on him. We found the cure in time and saved his life. However, his body suffered a lot of damage and he's been struggling to recover since then. He can't hear without hearing aids, his lungs are now weakened, his muscles became weaker but he's built them up again and he lost a kidney to the virus. The doctors believe his remaining kidney failed to break down the waste his body made, it built up and retained itself in his blood. My team got tested to see if one of us is a match. I was hoping you'd be able to give him a kidney. He's on a hemodialysis machine till they find a donor."

"Why didn't he call and tell me this?"

"You ran away from your responsibilities once, William, and left your son to deal with a sick mother and a life that no child his age should have been burdened with. He doesn't call you about these things because he feels that you'll let him down again and again."

"I thought Diana would take good care of him, her illness wasn't as progressed as it was by the end and things just became too difficult after her involvement with Riley's father and the cover up."

"How do you think your son felt when you walked out? He blamed himself for you leaving and that blame festered into something that exploded seventeen years later when you met again."

"It was never his fault."

Rossi let out a sigh. "Do you want to see him?"

William nodded. "Please, I want to see him."

"The moment you start upsetting him, I'm shoving you out of the door."

Rossi led him into the room and stepped aside as William took in the sight of his son. Reid had fallen asleep after waking up for an hour to have a scan, he looked almost as pale as the sheets surrounding him. He'd been connected to the hemodialysis machine and would be for at least a few hours and had an oxygen cannulae under his nose. William walked forward and took in his son's pale appearance.

"Where is the man who gave him the virus?" William asked.

"In a maximum security prison for life," Rossi answered.

They both looked to the bed as Reid let out a small moan, Rossi stepped next to William and watched Reid's eyes open. The brown eyes of the genius focused on his father. "What are you doing here?"

"Agent Rossi called me and ordered me to come here. I know you don't want me here."

"You're right, I don't."

"Spencer, you're lying in hospital and you're sick. I can't give you what you need because I'm sick too. I wish to god that I could give you what you need but I can't."

"Turns out I can," Garcia's voice came from the door. "The doctor got the tests back, I'm a very good match."

"No," Reid shook his head. "I won't let you do it."

"Who are you?" William asked.

"I'm Penelope Garcia, his friend and I work with him," she explained before walking to the other side of the bed and holding Reid's hand. "Reid, I can give you a kidney once they do a full work up to make sure I'm healthy enough."

"I won't let you do it," he said. "You can't do it without my permission. I won't let you give up a full and healthy life for me. Having children would become more difficult and I won't do that. I'm going to wait for another kidney, one that doesn't come from you or anyone close to me."

"Reid, the doctor said the virus caused complications. She won't let you of here till you have a new kidney. You aren't as strong as you think, at least your body isn't strong. Your lungs are weaker than before and your body cannot take the strain of depending on that machine for long."

"You don't have my permission, you can't do it."

"Why do you have to always be like this?" Garcia said angrily. "I want to do this and you won't let me. Stop being a stubborn ass and let me help you."

Dr Rosalyn came into the room and looked at Garcia. "I take it you told him."

"You even touch her with a scalpel and I'll rip out everyone one of these IV's. I'll end this matter here and now by refusing treatment. She is not giving me a kidney."

"She's the best match and the only one out of your team suitable," the doctor explained.

"I don't care," he snapped, he rubbed his chest as he felt his lungs struggling to keep up with his anger. Garcia grabbed an inhaler from her purse and put it to his lips, she pressed down and he took a large puff from it. He laid back against the pillow. "I do not consent to receive a kidney from her. Put me on the list and I'll wait."

"I have to tell you that with your current condition, that is not a safe option. Your heart is not as strong as it used to be, it might not take the stress of everything going on in your body and it can take a long time to find a matching donor."

Reid tried to talk but found exhaustion overcoming him again. He closed his eyes and fell back to sleep.

Garcia stepped away from the bed and wiped her cheeks.

"He's made his choice," William said.

"Oh shut up, Mr Reid," Garcia snapped. "I've known him for a very long time and he is my little genius, I'm not going to let his stubborn attitude keep me from giving him a kidney. Doctor Rosalyn, is there anything else we can do?"

"We don't have his permission," she shook her head.

"What if Reid wasn't mentally fit to make the life saving decision? Would his medical contact be able to make it for him?"

"That isn't something I can do, the legal ramifications-" the doctor began.

"They wouldn't exist," Rossi said. "He's stubborn now but he can't exactly give the kidney back once it's done. I know we are talking about breaking the rules or at least bending them. Reid himself just said that he would rip out all the wires and IV's and let himself die if we gave him the kidney. Now, that doesn't sound like someone who is capable of making any important decision."

"Would his medical proxy give permission?" William asked.

"He certainly would," Garcia smiled. "Do the full work up on me and then we can sort this all out."

Four days later

Reid moaned as he came out from a deep sleep and found himself feeling sluggish and exhausted. He opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by a bright light, he blinked a few more times and realised he was still in the hospital but in a different room. He felt a little sleepy but didn't feel as bad as he had before.

"Hey," Garcia's voice came from next to him. Turning his head, he felt confusion come through him when he spotted Garcia sitting in a hospital bed reading a book with IV's connected to her. Morgan was also sat next to her with a smile on his face.

"What are you doing?" Reid croaked. Morgan came around and gave him some water.

"She's recovering and so are you," Morgan smiled. "You got a new kidney."

"No," he said weakly. "I didn't give permission."

"Hotch is your medical proxy and the doctor didn't like your remark about pulling all the wires and ending your life if we tried to take the kidney from Garcia, you lost the right to make your own medical decisions so Hotch made it for you. The operation went really well, Garcia is fine and still her perky self. We kept you sedated so you couldn't argue with us and to help you through everything. We couldn't have you putting stress on your heart.

"You sneaky bastards," Reid sighed before licking his lips. He turned his head and looked at Garcia. "You went against my wishes."

"I'm the mistress of you any day," Garcia smiled. "Besides, I think my kidney likes its new home."

"Thank you," he whispered before closing his eyes again and falling asleep.

Morgan made sure Reid was comfortable before walking back over to his baby girl, he kissed her forehead and hugged her. "Thank you for saving him, baby girl."

"He's my baby boy, it's my job to save him."
