Hey everyone, here is the next chapter for you all, I hope you enjoy this chapter. I've made this chapter a nice chapter and I hope you all like how I've done it. Thanks for being so understanding about everything again. You're just the best. I'm going through a weird time in my life, after two years of sleeping in the day and up all night sleep troubles, I've now managed a week of normal sleep at night and being awake during the day. Not quite sure what changed but my mom is happy. I just need to say this. I know Criminal Minds is an American show and I do try use American terms as much I can but I am British and the occasional British term slips through, I'd prefer if this got pointed out more politely. Enjoy and let me know what you all think.

Thank you so much for all the reviews, you're an amazing group of readers and I adore you all to bits. Thank you!

Enjoy and please review

All mistakes are my own

Morgan walked into the room, not caring about the nurse that had tried to stop him, his eyes settled on the bed where a doctor was shining a light into Reid's eyes, he could see it was hurting Reid to look at the light.

"Sir, you'll have to wait back in the waiting room," the nurse scolded.

"No, I want him here," Reid said before holding out his hand. Morgan walked over and took his hand, he held it tightly but felt sick when he noticed all the blood on the white sheet and on his clothes.

"How is he?" Morgan asked.

"A very bad concussion, a deep laceration to the back of his head. Whoever did this dealt a very strong blow with a lot of strength behind it. I've stitched up the wound but he'll stay here overnight and then we'll see how he is tomorrow."

"Can I stay with him?"

"Please, I need him," Reid moaned before laying back against his pillow.

"Yes but I need to speak to Spencer alone for a moment. You can come back in after," the doctor smiled. "Please, I need to speak to him."

Morgan kissed the back of Reid's hand and left the room, he closed the door leaving the doctor and Reid alone.

"Spencer, I have to talk to you about something, you're showing signs of abuse and I need to know, is your boyfriend hurting you?"

Reid clenched his eyes shut as the light hit them but opened them to look at the doctor. "No, Derek saved me from an abusive relationship, these scars are because of a man called Martin, he's responsible for my stab wounds. I love Derek and he has never hurt me."

"I just needed to know," the doctor nodded. "I'll bring Derek back in, a nurse will come in every hour to check on you. I'll see you soon, Mr Reid."

The doctor left and Morgan came back into the room, he brought out some sunglasses and put them over Reid's eyes. "That should stop the light hurting your eyes. Spencer, what happened?"

"I-I can't remember," Reid sighed. "The last thing I remember is waking up this morning with you, they said I was found at work but I don't remember going to work. My head hurts so much, Derek."

"I know, Spencer. It'll feel better soon, I promise."

"Derek, are you ever going to leave me?" Reid said quietly. "I don't want you to leave me."

"I'm never going to leave you," Morgan smiled before kissing the back of Reid's hand. "Why would you think that?"

"I lose everything good in my life, you're the best thing to happen to me," Reid sighed before squeezing Morgan's hand. "I can't go to sleep, talk to me and made me happy, like you always do."

Hotch walked back into the room to see the team and Cruz standing there. "Morgan just sent me a message, Reid remembers getting up this morning and he can't remember anything after that which means he doesn't remember who attacked him. He has to stay overnight and they'll make another assessment tomorrow about letting him come home."

"There was so much blood," Garcia shook her head.

"Head wounds can bleed more," Cruz said. "He's fine, Garcia, but I want to find out who attacked him."

Anderson walked into the room with a note. "Sir, I found this at Agent Reid's desk, we checked out the room and found a small patch of blood."

Hotch took the note and looked at it. "Was there a meeting in this room?"

"No," Anderson replied.

Garcia walked over to her computer. "Is there a camera in that room?"

"I'm not sure," Anderson frowned.

Garcia began typing away on her laptop, she pulled up the building security cameras and smiled when she found a camera in that room. She searched through it till the door opened and played it when Thurman walked into the room. "Son of a-."

"What is it?" Cruz asked.

"Look," Garcia pointed at her screen as Reid walked into the room a little later. There wasn't any sound but it was clear that the conversation wasn't a nice one. Thurman stormed up to Reid with anger in his eyes. Reid said a few last words before turning around to leave. Garcia gasped and felt a pang in her heart as she watched Thurman smash the butt of his gun into the back of Reid's head. "It was Agent Thurman, he just hit him and left him there."

Hotch clenched his fist as after a few minutes, he watched Reid struggle get off the floor with a blood head and hand. Garcia stopped the video when Reid managed to get out of the room.

"I want Agent Thurman brought into custody now," Cruz said. "I'm charging him with attempted murder."

The next day

Reid lay asleep on the bed after the doctor had told him it was okay to sleep, Morgan watched him and hated seeing the man he loved in pain. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the small box he had in there. He opened it to see the silver ring he had brought. They had planned to go to dinner together last night but this attack had put Reid in hospital. Morgan leaned up and stroked his hand carefully through Reid's hair.

"I know you can't hear me but when you wake up, I'm going to ask you to marry me. I wanted to ask you last night but that bastard put you in here. I love you and I want to stay with you till the end. The brawn marrying the brains, like it should be."

Thurman sat silently in one of the interrogation rooms, he tapped his hand on the table and panicked about what he was going to do. He didn't want to murder that abomination, he just taught him a lesson. He looked up when Section Chief Cruz walked into the room. He stayed silent as the man sat across from him. "You're being charged with attempted murder."

"I don't want to murder him," Thurman tried to defend.

"You attacked a fellow agent, brutally hitting in the back of the head and knocking him unconscious, I watched the video and you didn't even check if he still had a pulse, you left him there. He's suffered some memory loss and the doctors described the blow as deadly, you could have killed him. You left him alone and he had to struggle out of that room. You're officially dismissed from the bureau and you'll be taking into custody until your hearing. I'm personally disgusted with you. Agent Reid is a senior agent to you and has done a great deal for the world. You almost killed him and I'm going to make sure you pay for that."

Reid woke up but clenched his eyes shut, even with the glasses on, the light hurt them. He turned his head and gave Morgan a sleepy smile. "Hey."

"Hey, pretty boy," Morgan grinned. "How are you feeling?"

"My head feels like hell but I feel more like me. Have you stayed with me all the time?"

"You bet."

Morgan pulled out the ring box and opened it, he pulled out the ring and held it up. "This is for you, I wanted to do this at dinner but after everything, that didn't work out. I want to turn a bad day into a good one. Spencer Walter Reid, I want you to marry me, will you marry me?"

Reid felt breathless for a moment before smiling. "Of course I'll marry you."

Morgan slid the ring on Reid's finger and then leaned up, they kissed and grinned at each other as they came away from the kiss.

Please review

I need to ask a favor, I tried looking online but it wasn't too clear on this subject. I wondered if any of you could help. Chicago, Virginia and Las Vegas, I need to know the gay marriage laws in these places so I can write my new chapter out and be exact on details. I know it's legal in some states but I'm not sure on all the states. I'd very much appreciate this help. Send me a message or drop a review.
