Saint Laurent hospital

November 4th

It had been a day now since Reid had been admitted to the hospital and frankly no one slept. Supervisory special agent Rossi leaned against the window sill just outside of Reids room. He sipped his coffee and turned around glaring at each of his team mates.

Hotch the leader of the group look long died on his feet. With everything that's been going on he was surprised Aaron could still find the strength to stand. Beside him JJ looked way to old for her age, her bags under her eyes carried bags, it was not a look for someone so beautiful and youthful. Next to Reid's bed sat Morgan he had his eyes closed but everyone knew the man was not asleep. Through Morgan didn't look as bad as everyone else he still looked drained. Across the room in a corner to herself Emily leaned back in a chair, her knees drawn to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. She looked awful, and he didn't just mean from lack of sleep either.

Rossi sighed and finished his coffee before deciding he should probably go to the restroom to wash up a little. Rossi went to throw his coffee cup away when something caught, not just his but the whole teams, attention. Reid groaned. Rossi dropped the cup in the trash and raced into the room. Everyone was surrounded around Reid's bed, JJ gripped Reid's free hand.

"Come on Spence wake up, just open your eyes you can do it." JJ pleaded, and her prays were answered. It took a few minutes but Reid finally managed to open them. His eyes flickered from one person to the other and Rossi watched as the teams eyes and faces lit up. All of their prays had finally been answered.

"w-what h'ppend?" Reid asked and they all winced at the roughness of his voice.

"The Unsub's partner attacked you and Prentiss, you were admitted to the hospital as soon as you called me." Hotch explained and sat down on the end of Reid's bed. Reid frowned.

"Why?"

"We haven't found out yet, but we know you were the prime target, she seemed to take a fawn of you ." Rossi joked and Reid groaned leaning back.

"Wait where's Emily?"

"I'm right here." Emily pointed out and stood up from her corner. Reid's eyes lit up and he sat up a little to quickly. He groaned.

"Yo kid take it easy would you, or else you'll pop a stitch!" Morgan growled and pushed Reid, gently, back down.

"They didn't hurt you did they?" Reid asked Emily.

"Nah I wasn't the target, and the team managed to find me quite fast."

"We'll have to thank Garcia for that!" JJ peeped up. Everyone chuckled.

" Oh that reminds me, Garcia's planning another welcome home party." Everyone groaned.

"It's not like I hate them, but does she have to do one every time we go away for a long period of time?' Morgan asked.

"I don't know?" Hotch shrugged his shoulder.

"So why did Collin's kill all those people?" Reid asked, Hotch and Rossi took the liberty top fill Reid in on what happened.

"And the, you know, eating the hand thing?"

"Ah that right we found out she didn't actually eat them, she licked the area then cut the hand off, and since she's not much of a cutter herself she made it look like it had been eaten." Morgan explained.

"But still why?"

"She had one hand herself." Emily said.

"She saw herself in the victims and to finish the fantasy she had to cut the hand off. God that's sick." JJ pulled a face and Morgan nodded, then sat up.

"I've got to call Garcia tell her what's up I'll be back in a minute." and he left. They all counted until Morgan was back, he walked over and passed the phone over to Reid.

"Hello?"

"Oh my baby boy your awake!" Garcia cheered.

"Hi to you too Garcia" Reid smiled, they talk for a few more minutes before the nurses came and asked for everyone to clear out so Reid could get some sleep.

"Aww are you guys seriously going to leave me here all alone!" Reid whined.

"Sorry kid but rules are rules." Morgan said and ruffled Reids hair saying night. Everyone said night and JJ gave him a small hug. It was Emily who stayed behind through.

"You okay Emily?" Reid asked, Emily nodded.

"Yeah, well actually, God how could you be so stupid, you chased the damn car and ended up getting shoot!" Emily throw her arms in the air frustrated,

" Hey it was my choice I couldn't let my best friend get kidnapped before I told her something-" Reid cut himself off and Emily turned to face him.

"What?"

"Umm well I mean, I well I umm, I like you, I mean more then a friend." Reid muttered but refused to look at Emily.

"Spencer!" Reid looked up and a pair of lips crashed with his, he groaned at the sensation. Emily pulled back after a minute smiling.

"Night Reid."
