Sorry took so long to reply.

I'm happy to say that I was able to make my own wedding and I am officially married! YAY! Unfortunately I have to wait until my winter break for my honeymoon. Saddening I know, but I still get one!

Here is the next chapter! Enjoy and review!

Hello, Mr. Hotchner? I'm Dr. Nasser with Las Vegas General and I'm calling about the form you filled out when you dropped off Dr. Spencer Reid.

What? I didn't-.

It's only a few questions, sir. Could you come down for a few minutes?

The conversation played over and over again in Hotch's mind. The city passed by, but he could not bring himself to take in the bright lights and passing cars. The glass seemed to block the world out. Hotch's head swam. Spencer's alive! Had been his first thought, but now, as they drove down the busy Las Vegas streets, logic and doubt began to siphon his happiness. What if it's just some trick? What if this is the unsub trying to get a hold of us? What if Spencer really is dead? A single tear trickled down Hotch's face.

The team ran into the hospital and immediately to the receptionist's desk. Hotch pulled out his badge and showed it to her. "I am SSA Aaron Hotchner and I would like to see Dr. Spencer Reid."

The receptionist looked at the badge and stared hard at the ID. She looked up at Hotch then back at the ID card. "You're not the same Aaron Hotchner that brought him in."

Hotch froze. "Excuse me?"

"Yea, this young guy carried Dr. Reid in. Said there had been some sort of accident and filled out the paper work. Well at least their names and a phone number. Then he left."

Hotch glanced at Rossi and Gideon. Both nodded and took his place as they explained to the nurse about the investigation. She immediately called an administrator. After repeating what they had told the nurse, the administrator gave Gideon and Rossi access to the security footage. Hotch was permitted to see Reid.

His heart hammered violently against his ribcage as he walked towards the room. He peered through the window, holding his breath. It came out in a rush, his knees suddenly shaking. He grabbed the doorframe to keep himself steady, his eyes burning. Reid was actually there. Beaten and broken looking, but he was actually there and alive. Hotch ran into the room and embraced Reid before the young man could respond to Hotch's presence. However, Hotch's whispers, his voice, brought Reid to the present and he clung to Hotch tightly, his body shaking against Hotch's warmth.

"Oh, Spencer! Thank God, Spencer."

Reid smiled weakly, wincing and pressing his bruised face into Hotch's neck, tears rolling down his cheeks and drying on Hotch's skin and jacket. "Aaron," Reid's voice cracked, his throat too dry to fully form the word. He sobbed dryly and clung tighter onto Hotch's blazer, closing his eyes.

"I was so scared," Hotch murmured, swallowing on his words. "Scared that I'd actually lost you."

Reid pulled back and looked up into Hotch's face. Hotch felt his heart throb painfully in his chest. Reid's left eye was badly bruised, his lip stitched up and an aged bruise yellowed his pale cheek. Stitches held a gash closed that ran the length of Reid's arm. Hotch leaned in and planted gentle kisses to Reid's forehead. Reid smiled weakly and reached up, running his fingers through Hotch's short hair. "I can't believe I actually get to see you again. I was afraid that I would actually die."

"I'm glad you didn't," Hotch whispered, gingerly cupping Reid's face in his calloused hands. "I'm so happy. I love you, Spencer."

A smile tried to spread across Reid's face, but he winced. He looked up at Hotch and planted a kiss on his lips. "I love you, too, Aaron."

Hotch wrapped his arms tighter around Reid, holding him securely in his chest. Reid knotted Hotch's blazer in his hand. Hotch swallowed, feeling tears run down his own face. He took a deep breath and almost laughed as he released it. Spencer's still alive.

A knock jerked them from their moment and they both turned towards the door. Gideon stood, his knuckles still touching the door to the room. Hotch composed himself and turned to look at Reid, seeing shock frozen on his expression.

"What's he doing here?" Reid whispered, bring his eyes to look at Hotch.

"He was helping us find you." Hotch murmured, taking one of Reid's hands. He opened his mouth to explain his confession.

However, Reid interrupted, hissing, "I want him to leave. Make him go away."

Chapter 7- End

So, most fics I have read have Reid happy when Gideon comes back and I don't like that. I'm sorry if I were Reid, I'd be pissed off at him. Hence his reaction.
