Chapter 9

"Please, Derek. Anything but this." Reid mumbled tiredly as he pushed the bowl Morgan was holding away from him.

Morgan sighed before placed the bowl of porridge back on the table beside the bed. "Spencer, you have to eat something. You haven't eaten anything since last afternoon."

"So that I vomit back everything? No thanks."

"At least some jello?" Morgan asked, knowing the answer.

Reid thought for a second before he answered. 'Okay, maybe some."

Morgan smiled thinking of Reid's special interest for jello and how the 'jello'' just turned his stubbornness of not eating upside down which Morgan was fighting for the past two hours.

"You and your jello." Morgan mumbled, shaking his head before he scooped a spoonful of red jello to Reid's waiting mouth.

"At least it makes my stomach a bit better compared to that porridge. God, the taste sucks!"

Morgan looked at Reid "It is a hospital food, what do you expect?"

"Well, just because I am in the hospital, sick ... It doesn't mean I need to eat such food." Reid argued back after swallowing another mouthful of jello.

"Unbelievable." Morgan whispered.

"What is unbelievable?" Morgan and Reid doesn't even to get to turn around towards the voice when another voice filled the room.

"Uncle Spencer!"

Reid instantly smiled, somehow the very presences of his godson caused some kind of warm feeling to gush in him. "Henry.."

Morgan moved out of the way and gently carried the little man up before he left Henry on the bed beside Reid.

"Uncle Spencer is hurt, be careful." JJ warned, standing beside Will.

Henry nodded before he quickly moved and wrapped his tiny hand around Reid's neck. "I miss you."

"I miss you too, Henry."

The others couldn't hide the smile spreading on their face, watching the interaction between the godfather and godson.

"How is he?" Garcia asked when Reid was preoccupied with JJ and Henry.

"Struggling both physically and emotionally but at least he is not giving up." Morgan whispered.

"It's Reid we are talking about, it will take some time but he will be okay." Emily joined the conversation.

"I hope so." Morgan crossed his hands against his chest, smiled when Henry started to play with Reid's hair.

"More importantly..." Garcia whispered, looking Morgan. "He has you, he will surely be fine."

Morgan gave Garcia one weak smile before he turned back to his friend, Reid was smiling widely playing with Henry. Morgan wondered if he could keep Reid smiling that way.

"What are you thinking?" Rossi asked.

"Nothing."

"Believe or not, among all of us, he would want you to stay beside him. I would bet my life on it." Hotch said, smiling at Morgan.

"You should stop questioning yourself, whatever happened had happened. Now, focus on helping him." Emily said, rubbing Morgan's back.

"Only you could it." Garcia whispered before she walked forward, joining Henry and JJ.

"I will be there for him."

With that one thought, Morgan smiled. "Thanks, guys." Morgan mumbled towards his friends.

-CM-CM-CM-

"Feeling a lot better?" Morgan asked when for the first time he saw Reid's relaxed face.

Reid simply nodded, smiling. "It was your idea, isn't it?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I heard you when you were in phone with JJ in the morning, asking her to bring Henry over." Reid said.

"I just want you to feel better." Morgan answered, sitting on Reid's bed.

"I am feeling a lot better. Derek, thank you."

"For what?" Morgan asked, disbelief.

"For being you, for being there for me." Reid slightly tapped Morgan's palm. "Thanks."

"Anything for my friend."

"Anything?" Reid reconfirmed.

"Tell me what do you need?" Morgan asked, knowing Reid was having something in his mind.

-CM-CM-CM-

Reid was grinning widely when the fresh air brushed against his face. His lungs expanded the moment a larger amount of clean air was inhaled. Reid opened his eyes and let the green scenes in the park to rejuvenate his eyes. Morgan wheeled Reid further to the one of the corner of the park and stopped near a bench. Morgan sat on the bench with Reid beside him.

"I am surprised how much your telephone number can do." Reid said, smiling.

"Kid...I didn't give mine to anyone." Morgan argued.

"Well, I bet you got plenty, especially from the nurse Sophie, she too much into you."

"Can you stop that?"

"For now." Reid smiled evilly before turning around and enjoying his day out from his hospital room.

Morgan just smiled, shaking his head, thinking of Reid's attitude. Morgan somehow knew Reid was just trying to cheer him up.

"Spencer..."

"Hmm.." Reid hummed before even turning behind to face Morgan.

"I want you to stay with me when you are discharged."

That particular sentences made Reid to turn toward Morgan.

"You won't be a burden for me and Clooney will love you." Morgan answered even before Reid started to talk anything. "No point arguing with me."

"Fine, I will only stay if you promise to give me your word that this one particular thing will always be mine ."

Morgan almost immediately smiled and answered without thinking. "Name it."

"Your tv remote."
