Chapter 6
Morgan stood beside the window, smiling to himself. He slightly turned back and smiled wider when he saw Reid sleeping peacefully. The scene of Reid sleeping peacefully wasn't the reason for Morgan's wider smile but the fact that he was sleeping hugging Garcia's stuffed toy was the main reason.
Morgan couldn't stop himself from taking a picture and sending it to Garcia about an hour ago.
'Oh My God!' He is super duper cute."
Morgan laughed to himself when he got the reply from Garcia. Morgan could only imagine how Garcia would have jumped on the jet. The flight got delayed because of the case and Morgan was pretty sure that Garcia would be bugging others with the picture.
Morgan walked back in, nearer to the door room. The others would arrive in any moment and Morgan have to be ready to make sure Garcia is in control when she enters the room.
Just when Morgan was thinking about it, the door was clicked opened, revealing the all time bubbly Garcia.
"Shh..." Morgan said quickly as he pressed his pointing finger against his lips when he saw Garcia's excited face.
"He is still sleeping?" Garcia asked in most lowest tone of voice possible as she jerked her head pass Morgan to see Reid.
"He is and ..." Morgan smiled when he saw others entering the room.
"How is he?" Hotch asked as he walked and stood beside Morgan.
"Better, not 100% but he is getting there."
"Good." JJ answered
"Guys, I think he is waking up." Emily said when they heard a groan coming up from the bed.
Noticing the formation of confused lines on his Reid's face, Morgan proceed to towards the bed.
"Reid?" Morgan called as he touched Reid's hand. "The others are here."
Morgan was about to let Garcia cheer up the situation but dropped the idea when Reid suddenly breathed out and turned uncomfortably the on the bed. Morgan began to panic when Reid's recovering facial complexion turned white again and his eyes was moving rapidly. Reid started to blink sluggishly when JJ called his name.
"Reid? What's wrong?" Morgan asked worriedly, gently shaking Reid's shoulder. "Reid, answer me. Reid!"
Morgan panicked to the maximum when Reid's body went limp on the bed. "Call Dr. Amy! He's not responding."
Rossi pressed the call button while Hotch and Emily ran outside. In next few seconds, the others were forcefully kicked out as soon as Dr. Amy and nurses had entered the room.
Morgan walked back and forth waiting for Dr. Amy. Thousand of questions was ringing in his head and it felt like eternity.
"How is he?" JJ asked, causing Morgan to snap out of his thoughts.
"We are going to keep him again under observation."
"But I thought…" Morgan stopped for a second "You said everything is under control. What is happening?…"
"Previously, the CAT scans showed that bleeding has stopped but latest scans shows excess accumulation of fluid in the space of the brain which leaving unwanted pressure. We are working on keeping Dr. Reid's blood pressure as low as possible for now."
"How is he right now?" Garcia asked quietly. All her excitement was gone.
"He is sedated at the moment. The sedation reduces the metabolic needs which decrease the pressure," Dr. Amy explained patiently. "When we have any signs of improvement we will cut off the sedation."
"What if there is no ..." Emily found hard to continue her words.
"We have no other choice but to performing a craniotomy."
"Craniotomy?" Morgan mumbled, raising his brow, demanding for more explanation.
"We will have to drill a small hole in his skull to relieve the pressure from the brain," Dr. Amy answered straightforwardly.
"No." Morgan barely whispered.
"But let me ensure you that we are doing everything we can to the avoid the surgery."
"Thanks, Doc." Rossi thanked Dr. Amy on behalf of them.
"This can't be happening." Morgan said. "It can't."
"Morgan..." Garcia started to speak.
"I need a minute." Morgan said before he turned back and walked out of the waiting room.
"Garcia, don't." Hotch stopped Garcia when she was about to pursue behind Morgan. "Give him some space."
Morgan walked out of the hospital, basically to the park attached just beside the hospital.
We will have to drill a small hole in his skull to relieve the pressure from the brain
Morgan doesn't understand. Few hours ago, Reid was just fine, talking back to him as usual but now ...
Morgan walked to the corner of the park and sat on the bench. Tears was threatening him and his phone ringed.
"Momma." Morgan answered.
"What happen, baby? Is Spencer okay?" Fran asked.
"No."
"Talk to me, honey." Fran spoke tenderly.
"He is having unnecessarily pressure in the brain and if it doesn't improve any time soon, they have to drill a hole in his skull." Morgan explained.
"Where are you right now?" Fran asked.
"Outside."
"Derek, you should be beside him."
"How could I?" Morgan asked. "I caused all this, it was suppose to be me on the bed fighting with life right now, not him."
"Then, fight with him." Fran answered almost instantly.
"How do I do that?" Morgan questioned.
"Stay beside him, hold in hand, speak with him, give him your support, do anything ... He needs to know that he is not fighting alone."
Suddenly, the words hit hard on him, that's the truth, he should be with Reid.
"What will I do without you, momma?" Morgan smiled.
"You can think about that later, now, go and let your little brother know that he is not alone, not anymore."
