Two weeks of past since that night, Spencer had made a full recovery but was still not allowed to do field work. The bond between he and Emily was growing exponentially fast; she stayed by his side the entire time he was in the hospital. He knew his feelings for her were more than friendship and he expected she felt the same. When he woke up from being shot she was sitting right there, he remembered opening his eyes and just seeing her sitting in that uncomfortable hospital chair and feeling a ping of warmth.
Emily's head was leaning against the wall with her legs crossed underneath her, in what had been a trip to get into. She watches his chest rise and fall and listen to the heart monitors tell her he was still alive. She had never felt so alone before, normally this man would be talking his ear off about some random fact about cheese or that force is mass time acceleration but there he was, unconscious. She moved to grab his hand and pulled it to her lips and left a gentle kiss. She let stray tears fall down her down her cheek in a zigzag pattern, leaving a stain on her cheek as they fall from her chin to the floor.
Spencer starts to open his eyes, the light is harsh on his unadjusted pupils, he feels the breathing tube in his throat and he gasps and pulls the string attached to the alarm for the nurse's station. The sound causes Emily to look up at him, seeing his eyes and letting him see the raw emotion being exuded from her. They pause for a second, he forgets about the breathing tube and reaches to wipe the last lone tear from her cheek, causing the damn to break. The nurse comes rushing in breaking the moment but it is welcomed, she removes the breathing tube and checks to see how well Spencer can swallow. After passing the test he is given some ginger ale, the entire time, Emily is standing in the corner watching this happen. She knew he was going to survive but he now was awake, that was making her emotions fluctuate
He looked over at her in the corner, he knew from that moment on everything changed, he could no longer doubt his feelings. When she came back to sit next to him when all was finished, he took her hand and kissed it. It was the subtlest thank you she had ever received but it meant the world.
He was so happy to have survived being shot by that bastard; he wished he could've killed him, with his own bare hands. Spencer wasn't a violent guy really, but Penelope was like the big sister he never had but wanted. He was at least glad someone killed him; if he hadn't been shot then Kevin might still be alive not dead and rotting right now. If he had to sacrifice his body by getting shot to kill the bastard who hurt his family then it was worth it in the end. He was glad to be on desk duty, to be able to do something and not be stuck at home. He felt a piece of paper hit him in the face, by of course, Morgan. They finally had been able to start putting it behind them. They all then heard a scream that sent the hairs on the back of his neck to stand.
In Penelope's office, she sat in her office chair shaking, just right down to the very core. She has found a lunch box on her desk, when she opened it she found inside the cheese she fell in love with on her trip to Norway with Kevin. She never told anyone about it, besides Kevin who watched her enjoy it. He would leave her some in a lunch box every so often, he'd order it for her and his it shipped. Things like that made her love him more at the time, now she stood in her office sobbing at on her desk over some Norwegian cheese.
The team entered her office at a record speed; Derek took her into his arms and tried his best to calm her down. Hotch stood next to Rossi and surveyed the office to see what could have caused that reaction. Penelope had be jumpier than normal which was to be expected but to cause her to let out a blood curdling scream, he knew something was off. He didn't understand so he finally had to get her attention.
"Garcia, what's wrong? What caused you to be so frightened?"
She looked around to see her entire team looking at her.
"This is going to sound strange, I know, but in that lunch box is cheese."
The team looked around at each other wondering what the big deal about the cheese in the lunch box was. Hotch paused before saying,
"What about the cheese frightened you, Penelope?
"Do you guys remember last year on my vacation, Kevin and I went to Norway?",The team collectively nodded. "Well, there was this cheese there that was just absolutely to die for. Kevin told me not to tell anyone about it; it would be the food that brought us together, since we got much closer over that week. It sounds lame but when you are away on a romantic trip with your boyfriend and he's trying to be romantic, it's still romantic no matter how lame. I never did tell anyone and every so often he'd leave me some of this cheese, which he ordered from a company in Norway and left in on my desk, in this very lunchbox. Underneath the cheese there was a note that said. Too bad your team is stupid enough not to think I'd wear a bulletproof vest. You will be mine, Penny, and there isn't anything that ape of a man Derek Morgan can do about it."
The team stood around in complete confusion, how the hell did he survive?
Hotch looked at Prentiss and asked "Did we stay long enough to see him be pronounced dead?
"Sir, we ran to Reid and followed him to the hospital. Our last thought was Lynch; there were other cops there to take him in. They told us he was dead so we put all our focus into Reid sir."
They team knew something was going on but couldn't figure out exactly what, then on Penelope's computer screen popped up Kevin on a webcam.
"Penny dear, did you miss me?"…
