Inbox: tannerose, oh my love it was never my intention to make fun of cancer or to imply that there is anything funny about it. Please please hang on to see that my real goal is to show how David and Erin would fight anything or anyone including each other to take care of the sick Spencer. And I promise, there is a twist in the near future.

Now that I cleared things up a bit, lets begin.

Spencer held on to his gut as he wrenched all its contents to the waste bin in his room, to be perfectly honest, there is nothing there to spill out because he never had his appetite back since last night so his stomach is virtually empty of any food remains. He wiped the side of his mouth with a paper towel and regretted standing up too fast as soon as he did, his whole house is spinning before his eyes for a minute and he forced his eyes shut to make the spinning go away. He's been real dizzy and very weak. He knew what the doctors meant when they told him to take things easy, but he could never show the team that he is sick.

Even his eyes are squirting from the light, everything in his body is aching and sore. Reid grimaced when he heard his phone ring, for a second, he considered not answering the call but then again he considered the possibility that the call could be another case and he doesn't want the team worry sick about him.

"Reid."

He managed to croak.

"Dr. Reid, this is Chief Strauss, I was hoping we could talk."

Reid's hopes in continuing to work for the next few weeks or perhaps months more before taking the medical vacation fell on his feet as soon as he heard who the caller was.

"Uhhhm, yeah, aherm..yes ma'am."

"I am thinking dinner, I'll pick you up tonight Dr. Reid."

"Yeah, see you tonight. Ma'am."

Reid thought it funny for Strauss to invite him to dinner for an official discussion on a Saturday evening and let alone talk about official matters outside the office, it was queer yes, but he managed to say yes out of confusion.

"Tell me again David why we're having this dinner at your place?"

Erin is pushing a grocery cart beside David who is busy inspecting a box of cereal

"Because I'm the better cook between us madam."

Erin rolled her eyes as she tossed a box of Kleenex to her own cart.

"And tell me why am I shopping with you?"

"Now that is because we agreed that you and Spencer will be staying at my place for his recovery, we talked about this Erin."

David looked really serious as they walk side by side towards the soap isle.

"Fine but bear in mind David that this is a SECRET between us, this is not some shit string to throw around like a yoyo to everyone you meet at the bar."

"Try not to flatter yourself Erin, as if I would want anyone to know that we'd be living under the same roof."

"Can you just stop being a jerk for minute? I need us to concentrate about our plan and not to try ripping off each other's throat all the time, can we do that?

"I don't know, but I'll do my best. Scout's honor."

"Fair enough for now, what about the oncologist that we talked about? Did you contact him already?"

"Yeah, but first we have to break our lodging arrangement to Spencer tonight before we start with the medications."

"You're right, for once."

Erin pushed her cart and walked ahead of David towards the counter, David sighed heavily, they are all in for a very rough time ahead.

"May GOD bless you and me both in this Erin."

He whispered.

More like a prayer.

TBC.
