**I am not a doctor so the medical aspects might be pretty farfetched, but hey it is fiction.
"Hi, Reid how are you feeling?" JJ asked
"Like I was run over by a bus"
"Did the doctor tell you everything already?" Blake asked
"I grabbed my chart off of the side table so I read for myself what's wrong"
"You don't seem to upset by the findings" Morgan commented
"Well I mean don't get me wrong having use of my legs was nice and all but I will adapt, you guys have to let me do something. Please don't baby me. Also did you know that some paraplegics do regain use of their legs through physical therapy, some even get full function back."
"Just please don't get your hopes up yet" JJ pleaded
"Let's change the subject" Garcia said
"Alright, what would you like to talk about then?" Reid asked
"Something a little less depressing would be a nice change"
While the team bantered on about "happier" things, Reid was a million miles away thinking about how this disability would flip his world upside down.
"Hey guys do you think I would be able to get a little shut eye. The storm is over and you can all go home. Besides visiting hours are almost up." Reid asked
"What's going on in that big brain of yours?" Morgan asked
"Morgan I honestly just want to get some sleep"
"Okay, okay fine. We will go and leave you to sleep" Garcia said
So the team left and Reid continued thinking about what this meant for him. Would he still be allowed to be an F.B.I agent? Would they only let him do paperwork? Will the team still keep in touch if I am not part of the team anymore? Although Reid was being truthful about him needing some sleep he knew that none of that was going to happen with all of these thoughts bombarding him. Reid tried counting sheep, counting backwards from 100 and just closing his eyes but nothing was working. Finally he just gave up and started counting the little holes in the ceiling tiles, he got about 2000 before everything started to blur.
"THIS IS RIDICULOUS!" Reid yelled
The nurse came running in. "Doctor Reid is everything alright?"
"Yes everything is fine"
"Alright, well goodnight"
The nurse left the room and Reid made a mental note not to do that again because he didn't need the team finding out about it. Reid put his head back on his pillow and noticed that it had suddenly become hard to breathe, he started coughing and his heart monitor started beeping like crazy. The same nurse burst in and began trying to ask if everything was okay but all Reid could do was point to his throat, he tried making a noise but nothing was coming out. The last thing Reid remembered was Hotch and the team running into the room, they must have never really left Reid thought…

"I don't know about you guys but I am staying put" JJ said
"I think everybody was thinking the same thing JJ" Hotch said
"I am going to see if we can get some blankets" Morgan said
Morgan came back five minutes later with 6 blankets.
"You guys are lucky the nurse even warmed them up for us" Morgan chuckled
So the team settled in and they were all asleep fairly quickly, that is until they heard an alarm go off. In what felt like slow motion the team all ran into Reid's room to find Reid passed out and the nurse putting a tube down Reid's throat to help him breathe.
"What the hell happened?!" Morgan asked anger in his voice
Doctor Sam came up to Hotch and pulled him aside.
"Carbenicillin was injected into his IV line and from the look of his chart he is deathly allergic to it"
"We are going to have to look at the CCTV footage please" Hotch requested
"We are pulling them now. Oh agent Hotchner I just want you to know that since we caught this early on it should solve its self out, we have administered epinephrine and that does seem to be helping a bit. My medical opinion is that he will recover from this."
"Thank you doctor"
"Hotch man what did the doctor say to you"
"Someone gave him carbenicillin, Reid is deathly allergic to this drug. But the good thing is that they caught it early and he should make a full recovery. They are pulling CCTV footage for us as we speak." Hotch filled the team in
"Why would someone do this to my junior-g-man?" Garcia asked
"Well with this job we make enemies every day, it's just part of the risks with this profession" Rossi answered
"Reid has been through enough already, this is all he needs" JJ said
Nobody seemed to notice Blake back out of the room and walk away crying; she went out to one of the S.U.V's and drove home. Blake needed a break from all that is happening concerning Reid, if the F.B.I building had not been closed for repairs she would have gone and done some work. Since James was still not back she curled up in her bed and turned the television on and put in her and James's wedding video, what she needed right now was some happiness.
