Hey everyone, here is the next chapter for you all. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Only one more chapter after this and I promise you all that it'll be a nice long chapter for you all. Yes, Garcia was a perfect match and I'm so relieved that you all like me taking the decision away from him. Thank you to those who loved my idea for Gubler being a demon on Supernatural, I have three big favourite shows and Supernatural is one of them, I refuse to choose between all three because as long as my programmes make me happy, they are all equal. Enjoy this and I look forward to hearing from you all.

Thank you so much for all the reviews, you're amazing and such superb readers. You are the most wonderful readers in the world! Thank you!

Enjoy and please review

All mistakes are my own

Reid woke up again to see Hotch and Rossi above him, he let out a smile and licked his lips. "Hey."

"Hey, Reid," Rossi smiled before putting his hand on Reid's shoulder. "How are you feeling?"

"Sleepy and like I've got a new kidney. I'm can't say I'm completely happy."

"Why not?" Hotch asked.

"You went against my wishes, had me declared mentally unfit and kept me sedated for four days so I couldn't argue with you. I'm thankful for the kidney but I feel like you put my life in front of your own lives. Garcia may have trouble, god forbid, in the future with just one kidney. What if she gets pregnant? A baby could cause a lot of stress on her kidney."

"I know people who have one kidney and had perfect children with no trouble," Rossi said. "Stop seeing the worst outcome out of every situation. Even the doctor doubted you would have survived long-term on the hemodialysis machine, the stress on your body would have been too great. Garcia loves you and she was never going to take you saying no. The important thing is that you're alive."

"Where's my father?"

"He went home, Reid. He felt like he had failed you again and thought you wouldn't want to see him when you woke up again. I'm really sorry, Reid."

"I didn't expect him to stay around," Reid said, hate slithering through his words. "He never was good at being a father. Where's Garcia?"

"Morgan is taking her for little stroll, she's in a wheelchair due to hospital policy but she wanted some fresh air," Hotch answered.

"A new kidney means new medication," Spencer said as he rubbed his eyes. "I'll be taking anti-rejection drugs for the rest of my life."

"You'll also have us for the rest of your life," Rossi grinned. "You definitely have a piece of Garcia with you for the rest of your life."

"Wait, what does her boyfriend have to say about this? I doubt Sam wanted his girlfriend going into a risky operation and giving up one of her kidneys."

"They had an argument, he didn't like her making such a quick decision to give you a kidney but she told him to, well, she told him to go away but with much more colourful words."

"Great, another thing I've ruined," Reid sighed before letting out a small wince as he tried to sit up slightly.

"Easy there, kiddo," Rossi urged as he gently pushed Reid to the bed. "You have to go easy till your stitches heal. You're going to have a scar from the incision but the doctor said that the operation went really well. Now, why would you think you ruined another thing?"

"One way or another, I always end up ruining things for people who get close to me. Garcia was happy with Sam but I came in, got sick and ruined everything. Maeve died and I ruined all hope of us having a life together when I failed that night, I try to stay away from people's lives because I screw things up for them."

"Now I want you to stop thinking like that," Hotch shook his head. "You don't ruin people's lives, you make them better."

"How?" he asked.

"You are the centre of this family, you always have been and you always will be. You are there to listen when someone has a problem or needs help, you are always there for your godson and I know that you would do everything in this world to protect this family. Maeve dying wasn't your fault and deep down you know that. The day your heart stopped and we almost lost you was the day we almost lost the glue that keeps this family together."

Reid smiled and brushed a hand through his hair. "How is that I had to come to the BAU to get a family? I never had one growing up but I guess I have one now."

"Get some sleep," Hotch smiled. "You need to keep your strength up."

"Just promise me something."

"Anything," Rossi said.

"Please don't trick me again."

"We won't trick you again as long as you don't act like a stubborn ass."

"Deal."


Two months later

Garcia and Reid walked through the park together, they had agreed to take regular walks together to keep themselves healthy and fit. Both had made changes to their lives, both small and big changes. Reid had started a new medication that was working better than his other medication, he always took his anti-rejection drugs, the team had even programmed his watch to go off when he needed to take them. He had also moved back to his apartment, even though Morgan had offered to have him move in permanently. Morgan had a good thing going with Savannah and he wasn't going to stand in their way of starting a full life together.

Garcia had made changes to her diet and liked her new figure after losing more weight than she expected. She no longer had a relationship with Sam after she had gone against his wishes and gone through with the operation. She knew that she would miss Sam but she didn't regret her decision, Reid was a big part of her life and a part she never wanted to lose.

"Henry wants us to go and see him at his little league game," Reid said.

"I know," she nodded before taking a drink of water from her bottle. "I've got a whole day planned out after his game. You're doing really well lately, I've barely seen you use your inhaler."

"Our walks are doing my lungs a lot of good," he smiled. "I only have to use the inhaler when I run too much. I still managed to pass the physical to go back to work."

"I can't wait for you to come back to the BAU, it just hasn't been the same without you there."

"I'm only going back there because of you giving me your kidney, thank you," he said.

"Fifty four," she laughed.

"What?"

"That is the fifty-fourth time you've said thank you for my kidney," she giggled before putting her hand to his side. "You don't have to keep saying thank you. Besides, we bamboozled you just to get the thing inside you."

They continued to walk down the path. "I'm sorry, Garcia. I was just afraid of holding you back in life if I took your kidney."

"You haven't held me back in anything. Come on, Morgan is cooking us dinner and I don't know about you but I'm starving. I feel like chicken tonight, oh yeah!" she began to sing.

Reid burst out laughing and put his arm around her. "Come on, before you make me laugh so hard I need my inhaler."


One week later

Reid walked through the elevator door and took a deep breath as he entered the bullpen, he felt at home again. He walked through the glass double doors only to find him suddenly lifted in the air. Morgan hugged him happily before putting him back down.

"That was interesting," Reid smirked.

"Just happy to have you back at work, kid."
