Thought I'd add a little humor into the second chapter because...well, because I could. Don't worry though, the next chapter is almost done. I'm on a roll and in all honestly, I'm only posting so much because I'm procrastinating finishing my lesson plan...Junior year in college is differently kicking my butt...


Chapter Two: I know that look

11:55 AM Tuesday

They made it to the hospital a few minutes after the ambulance. They walked in and were directed to a nearby waiting room. They sat down in silence yet again, everyone deep in thought. Hotch's brow was scrunched in frustration, his mind running through the case over and over again. Morgan paced up and down the small waiting room, following the same path each time. Rossi's eyes followed Morgan but it seemed to be done more as a reflex and less of a observation of sorts.

Their silence was finally broken by Garcia bursting through the door in a hurry, coming to an abrupt stop in front of Morgan. "How's my junior g-man's girl? You got there before he could...could...you know." She asked Morgan as she sat down, pulling him into the seat next to her. Morgan grabbed her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"I don't know baby girl but I hope so."

"Me too. I will kill that man myself if he did anything to her." She glanced around the room, taking in the forlorn faces on her friends. She sighed and realized it was her responsibility, as usual, to bring up their moods. At times she wished it wasn't her job but at moments like that she reminded herself that it was her greatest contribution to the team; not her computer skills but her flamboyant and warming personality.

"And..." she started, looking around. "To be completely honest, I've been waiting impatiently to meet the woman who has wooed our little genius." She let out a small giggle, instantly lightening the mood in the waiting room.

"You and me both baby girl. From the second video, she seems to be just as in love with Reid as he is with her." Morgan added, trying to hold back a laugh, finally letting himself relax. He let his good-humored curiosity take over and he knew everyone else would be quick to follow, finally having a reason to be positive.

"She seems to make him really happy." Hotch added, uneasy about the prospect of talking about Reid's love life while he wasn't there.

"Yeah, in more ways than one." Morgan said as JJ and Prentiss stifled a laugh. Even Hotch couldn't help but let a smile slip across his face. "I mean seriously, I would kill to find a girl who would greet me like that after long cases. In fact, I'd kill of a girl who didn't have a problem with my job. All I've got to greet me is an over-active dog." Morgan laughed again, trying hard not to think about the image of Sophia sitting on the counter in nothing but her lingerie and Reid's shirt. He admitted, though only to himself, that if she wasn't Reid's girlfriend he wouldn't hesitate making a move on her.

As he shook the thought from his head he felt JJ slap his arm playfully. "Hey! What was that for?"

"I see your face. I know that look. Get your mind out of the gutter. She's Reid's girlfriend and off limits." JJ smirked at Morgan, shook an accusing finger at him.

"You think so little of me JJ." He turned away from her, catching a smiling Hotch out of the corner of his eye. "Don't worry JJ, I promise I won't try to steal her." He winked and leaned back in his chair.
