Peekabooo: Wow. Is that really you back there? Hm. I bet you didn't recognize me with this new beard I've grown. Ir turns out I have been locked in a cave without internet access for the past two months. Just kidding...it just seems redundant and tedious if I keep saying sorry. You can yell and throw pitchforks at me in the reviews (Please. I deserve it)

I've been at school and at soccer and on vacation and farming and watching the new BOMBIN' episodes of Criminal Minds. You see...School started before I got a chance to update and it all went downhill from there. I didn't do so well with my grades last year so I have been trying to do that this term...And it's working out great so far! Only two A-'s. But tying to get straight A's in school makes up a lot of time. Then in September I had school AND I went to California for vacation AND I had my soccer tournament. Now it is October. And in October my family grows acres of pumpkins and then we sell them. And guess who has to pick the pumpkns? That's right! This girl does! So I have not had any free time inbetween pumpkins and school. But this was always on my mind I promise! I tried writing as much as I could but I *Failed*! This is actually my first break (fall break). I'll talk about Criminal Minds at the end of this chapter ;)

P.S. I just finished writing this chapter and I am so excited about it that I'm not even getting it to my beta before posting it :( So any mistakes are mine...but there shouldn't be any. I REVISED REVISED REVISED MY REVISISION. And as always, Thank you for reviewing/favoriting/alerting :)

Reid looked out the window of his hospital room. He sat in a wheelchair, with his messenger bag across his lap. He wore a dark blue button-up shirt, with a matching cardigan. His pants were difficult though, since Reid had a cast that went up to his knee. His wheelchair that he had to buy because he couldn't walk on his leg at all yet, was gray and quite comfortable.

The doctors had some complications with his leg. Apparently Kat had messed up on the cast and a part of his leg had healed the wrong way. So the doctors had to break it all over again. Morgan almost went ballistic when he found out, but Reid had calmed him down, eventually.
The statistics of his leg healing wrong while he had a cast on were tremendously slim. Almost nonexistent. But it happened. And when they broke it the second time it was just as painful as it had been the first.

But today he wouldn't have to worry about that. Today he could go home. Morgan and Garcia were coming to pick him up and that night and then the whole entire team was going out to dinner. Reid was happy. But also sad. He knew that soon he would have to go back to work in his stupid wheelchair or tell the team that he wasn't returning. He still hadn't decided that yet. But it was almost all he thought about.

Some days, he would wake up and ache for JJ to be at his side, comforting him and telling him everything will be alright or he would wish that Hotch would sit by his bedside asking questions, letting Reid crack a smile out of him once or twice, and occasionally he would long for Emily to come by and watch a movie with him in Russian while they laughed together. But other days he woke up filled with hatred at them. At all of them. He sometimes felt like he could throw things because he was so angry. And some days, when he got his headaches, he felt nothing at all.

On those days when he was angry, he would be sure that he was going to leave the BAU for good, and go to medical school, or law school, He convinced himself that he would call Hotch the next day and promptly resign. But then he thought of the kind visits that Morgan and Garcia and, from time to time, Rossi had given him. And the flowers that JJ had sent, along with the chocolate from Emily. He also thought of the fact that unless the team had a case, Hotch would come to see Reid every Thursday at approximately 4:30 PM, even though he knew Reid wouldn't want to see him. After he'd think about the team -his family- he couldn't just resign. Not like that. It just wouldn't be that simple.

He kept looking out his window down to the ground. He saw an ambulance pull in and they pulled a stretcher out quickly. Reid looked closer and realized that it was a little girl. She had on a neck brace and a paramedic straddled her doing compressions on her heart. Then they rushed her into the Emergency Room. They were no doubt in there trying to save her life. He remembered the case in which the woman had been kidnapping young boys in Las Vegas, and how after they had saved the little boy Morgan told him that he could have done anything with his life and he chose to work at the BAU.
All at once it hit Reid. For so long he had been questioning why he had worked at the BAU seeing the horrific things that he did. It was to save lives.

"Hey kid," Morgan said, leaning against Reid's doorway, interrupting his thoughts.

"Oh hey. I didn't even see you come up." Reid turned his head, quite startled.

"Were you looking for me?" Morgan chuckled.

Reid paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, I was." He grinned.

"Well you must have missed me." Morgan laughed again.

"I guess so." Reid glanced at him, pushing his hair out of his face.

"Where's Garcia?" he asked, realizing she wasn't there.

"Out in the car." Morgan replied.

"Oh."

"Come on, Pretty Boy. Let's get you home." Morgan walked over towards Reid's wheelchair and pushed it out into the hallway.

"How long am I going to have to push you around anyways?" Morgan asked, laughing.

"Well you don't HAVE to push me around...and uh, 5 weeks."

"Are you serious? 5 more weeks?"

"Yep. Typically, depending on the severity of the break, a broken leg takes 6-8 weeks to heal. Therapy isn't usually necessary for a simple break unless there are other injuries associated with it."

"If that stupid nurse hadn't put that stupid cast on wrong.." Morgan gumbled.

Reid laughed to himself a little bit when he heard Morgan curse under his breath.

"Speak of the devil," Reid muttered quietly to Morgan, seeing Marie, Kat and Ashley stride up, teddy bears and flowers in their hands.

"Oh Spencer!" Kat sang out long and continuous.

"Dr. Reid, We brought you gifts." Marie smiled a bright smile.

"We sure did," Ashley smiled, too.

"Uh Wow! Thanks you guys!" Reid said, with awkward excitement so thick in his voice Morgan knew he was acting.

"Oh you're welcome sweetie" Ashley kissed him on the cheek and Reid's face went as red as a tomato. Kat followed her path, giving him a smooch on his other cheek. Finally Marie gave him a kiss on his forehead. Morgan had to keep from exploding with laughter as he saw Reid's expression. The girls dumped pink and white teddy bears all over his lap and then handed him a bouquet of white tulips. Marie started crying and so did Kat. Ashley was fanning her eyes with her hands to dry the tears out.

"Spencer. You were the best patient we have ever had!" Kat cried, tears rolling down her face as she patted Reid on the back, "I will never forget you. I hope you're healed soon."

And with that Kat walked away.

The two other girls said their final goodbyes with tears still flowing, and Morgan started to push Reid down the hallway in silence.

After they entered the cold beige elevator, Reid's color returned to normal -or semi-normal- and Morgan started to chuckle.

"What?" Reid asked, Embarrassment creeping up into his voice.

"It's nothing...it's nothing...I just didn't know that some ones face could get so red..." Morgan laughed even harder. So hard that Little tears squoze from the corner of his eyes.

"Morgan!" Reid whined, his face and ears turning a bright crimson.

"Okay okay, I'll stop." Morgan settled down, rubbing his eyes, not to wanting to push Reid too far.

"Are we still going to dinner at that Italian Place tonight?" Reid asked nervously, his eyes flitting downwards.

"Yeah. Rossi already made the reservations." Morgan answered, nodding.

"And..the whole team is going right?" Reid asked in a timid voice.

"Yes they are all going to be there."

"Oh." Reid sighed, picking his fingernails.

The elevator doors 'dinged' and Morgan rolled Reid out of the elevator.

"Have you made a decision yet?" Morgan questioned softly, as the passed through the automatic doors out into the beaming sunlight.

"About?" Reid inquired.

"Your job." Morgan responded, his stomach clenching into knots. He was frightened about what might come next.

Reid paused for a moment looking up at the sky, "Do you remember that case in Las Vegas, after we saved that little kid from the lady who had lost her son?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"After that ended you told me that that was about as good as a day we were going to get. And you said that I could have been anything I wanted to be but I chose that job."

"Yeah," Morgan mumbled, internally fearing that Reid was quitting.

"Well today and for the past few weeks, I have sat in my room and wondered what I wanted to do if I quit my job at the BAU."

"And?" Morgan queried. The suspense was killing him.

"And I couldn't decide. I didn't know why I couldn't decide, either. But then I realized is that I wouldn't be who I am now without my job at the BAU and the team. You guys have helped shaped me just as much as the job has helped me. And I'm definitely a better and stronger person because of it and because of what has happened."

"So?" Morgan asked, one last time. Morgan stopped by the car Garcia was waving from in the passengers seat.

"I'm coming back."

Peekabooo: Did scare you last chapter? No? ...Dang.

Next chapter: Reid getting a haircut/preparing for the dinner/fixing his apartment/stuff ;)

Anyways...What do you guys think of season seven? Personally I think Reid is (Excuse my language) CLASS A BADASS! Wow. So freaking amazing! And last nights episode was heartbreaking with Rossi's ex-wife :( I didn't see that coming! I half-thought that Rossi would have like a child or something, but nope :O

But I hope we get a Reid episode soon. I heard that 7X11 is Reid-Centric! :D ...hopefully.

(now is the time to pelt me with tomatoes for not updating for like three months)
