So...Here it is! Ta-da!

I know the chapter before-hand said that the story would be done by Saturday , but I've decided to combine some chapters, move some stuff around, and finish the story earlier than I was planning. After reading over what I had I decided that the story kind of dragged on and on and I felt bad for Sophia and Reid.

This was, at least in my mind, definitely a better place to end the story than where I was originally planning on ending it.

I guess if you guys really want to, I'll post the "alternative" ending...which isn't really an "alternative;" it's more of a few extra scenes.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN: I missed you

1:20pm-In the hospital

Morgan took a deep breath and began; "So…got anything to fill me in about? Did you guys make any progress?"

Reid glanced over at Morgan, tears in his eyes.

"What?" Morgan asked quickly, leaning closer to him.

"I was kind of hoping that you wouldn't ask. She told me about one thing…" Reid hesitated and Morgan noticed his hands shaking.

"What happened?" Reid could hear the anxiousness in Morgan's voice. "Reid?" Morgan leaned forward in anticipation and stress.

"Emmett forced her…to…uhm…give him..." A tear slipped down Reid's face and his voice shook. He clasped and unclasped his hands, suddenly hyper-aware of everything around him. He could hear the people behind him mumbling about their wake and the couple in the corner giggling. He sighed, trying to push everything else out of his mind.

"She wasn't eating. I just had to ask why. She said she couldn't get the taste of him out of her mouth." Reid refused to look at Morgan as he talked, knowing that he'd break down the second he looked at his friend. He did however, risk a glance over at Morgan's body out of the corner of his eye. He saw Morgan tense, his hands curling into tight fists.

They sat in silence, Reid's knees bouncing up and down nervously as a few tears slid down his cheek. "But…" Morgan finally said, breaking the silence. "That's progress. I mean, she's telling you what happened. She's talking. And you know that talking is the first st-"

"Sophia Maxwell?" A nurse said loudly, looking around the waiting room. Reid jumped from his seat, wiping the back of his hand across his cheeks, followed slowly by Morgan.

"Oh! There you are. She's in room 620, just down the hall and on the left hand side. We're giving her antibiotics and fluids through an IV for a slight infection in the head-wound. She can leave once her fever lowers to at least 100." Reid nodded quickly at the nurse who promptly turned on her heels and walked away.

Morgan turned to Reid as they made their way down the surprisingly empty hallway.

"See, she'll be fine."

"With her fever? Yeah." Reid said with a shrug.

"She'll be fine with everything else as well. You were just saying that she started opening up to you. And that's, like, the biggest thing she has to get over."

Reid looked over at Morgan's face, smiling across at him. "I guess so. I just don't want to get my hopes up."

"Since when did you become such a pessimistic? Sophia is so strong; you've shown us over and over again. You need to stay positive."

When they got to her room there was a nurse changing the wet wash clothes on Sophia's neck and forehead. The room was brightly lit and the walls were painted a muted blue. It had two large windows, their white curtains pulled closed. In the corner was an uncomfortable looking white plastic chair pushed up against a row of two metal cabinets.

The nurse looked up and smiled kindly at them. She tucked the edge of the bed sheet in and slipped past Reid and Morgan as they took a step into the room.

Sophia shifted and opened her eyes slowly, blinking them into focus. "Hey Sophia." Reid smiled and grabbed her hand, giving it a little squeeze.

"Uhm, I'll be outside." Morgan turned towards the door, feeling extremely out of place, like he had just walked in on something he was obviously not invited to.

"Thank you," a shaky and soft voice said before Morgan stepped over the threshold.

Morgan turned at the small voice, making eye contact with Sophia. "Thank you for helping." She said again, a hesitant smile appearing on her face. Morgan smiled back and nodded, shutting the door behind him. He walked down the hallway, making his way back into the waiting room.

"Hey you." Reid leaned down and kissed Sophia's cheek.

"I want to go home already." Sophia muttered, smiling slightly.

"When your fever goes down." Sophia pouted at Reid's words then scooted her body over. She patted the space on the bed and waited for Reid to lie down next to her. As soon as he did Sophia cuddled into his side, removing the cloth from her forehead and neck and placing on the table next to the bed.

"Those should really stay on, you know, especially if you want to your fever to go down" Reid said as he leaned over her, trying to reach for the cloths. Sophia slapped his hand playfully and pulled him against her.

"Just leave them." She whispered into the material of his shirt as she rubbed her cheek against his chest. She ran her hand up and down his arm, closing her eyes. Reid laughed, wrapping his arms tightly around her. They lay there for a few minutes, quite content in their quiet positions.

"I miss this." Reid said after a while, motioning between the two of them.

"I do too. I missed you." Sophia added as Reid rolled slightly so he was hovering over her. He leaned down and kissed her lips hesitantly and softly.

Sophia smiled into his lips and sat up slightly, following Reid's lips as he pulled away. She kissed him again before reaching out and tucking a curl behind Reid's ear. She let her hand rest against his cheek and Reid unconsciously leaned into it. She rubbed her thumb continually across his cheek, staring intently at Reid's closed his eyes. He let out a sigh and turned his head slightly, kissing the open palm of Sophia's hand.

"We're going to be okay," Sophia mumbled when Reid finally opened his eyes though it came out more as a question than an actual statement.

"We're going to be okay." Reid answered back. He rolled so he was flat on his back and pulled Sophia against his side, closing his eyes as he felt her body relax. He stretched out his arm and felt around for the cloth, placing back on Sophia's neck.

THE END...for now ;)
