Chapter 10: Lunch and coffee.

That day Spencer Reid felt better. Not completely fixed but better. Throughout the day he managed to sit down with Hotch and have a serious conversation about arrangements for his mothers funeral. As much as it hurt discussing this, he felt proud that he managed to get through the whole conversation without breaking down or running away. But that didn't stop him from still feeling sad. When it got to lunch spencer retreated to his room hoping he could just spend some time to himself letting out how he really felt. The tears he had been holding in all day were just about to fall when there was a knock on the door. Quickly composing himself and brushing them away, he went to answer it. To his surprise Emily stood before him.

"Alright Reid?" Emily asked casually.

"Oh hey Emily." Reid said, caught a bit off guard.

"So listen, I was really bored and Hungary and I was wondering if you wanted to get some lunch with me. I also thought he could have a quick game of chess just like the old days." Emily offered. Reid was very tempted to go with her. He really hated moping and didn't mind getting his mind off things.

"Um, I'm not to sure Emily."

"Oh come on Reid your just scared I'm going to beat you again. Also just think Lunch with me means another coffee for you." Emily joked knowing that Reid would never turn down a good coffee.

"Fine! But I'll let you know my chess skills have improved greatly since Gideon left." Reid said with a tiny smile which was enough to please Emily.

"I knew the coffee would do it." Emily joked.

Reid quickly grabbed his coat and wallet and left with Emily. They walked down to the cafe in a comfortable silence. Once they arrived at the cafe Reid was instantly happy at Emily's choice. Not only was it not to busy, it had a relaxing atmosphere. But best of all they sold extra large cups of coffee. Once they ordered they decided to take the table in the corner.

"Thank you Emily." Reid said.

"For what?" Emily asked a bit taken a back.

"For just being you. Everyone's been as ting a bit weird around me. Like this morning they all thought I'd lost it and done something stupid. I just feel like everyone's treating me different." Reid said feeling a weight come off his shoulders, telling Emily how he really felt.

"Oh Reid, their just worried about you." Emily said softly.

"I know but their all being overly nice. I mean Morgan hasn't said his daily insult to me and JJ and Garcia keep talking to me like a child. It's like their afraid I'm going to break down if they say the slightest thing. That's why I'm thanking you because your just being yourself."

"Your welcome Reid, I don't really know how to be anyone else. As for Morgan and the girls, I can have a word with them if you want?" Emily suggested.

"It's fine. Maybe I should use this time to get back at Morgan." Reid joked. Emily laughed she was just so happy to see Reid perking up a bit. They carried on talking whilst they ate. Emily purposely didn't bring up Reid's mum because she didn't want to ruin the progress he was making. However there conversation was quickly put to a pause when Emily's phone buzzed.

"It's Hotch, I wonder what he wants?" Emily thought out loud. "Hello." she answered.

"Where are you? Is Reid with you?" Hotch said cutting to the chase.

"He's with me and we decided to go out for some lunch." Emily answered slightly confused why Hotch was so worried.

"We've been looking all over for you two. We were worried Reid ran off." Hotch said sternly

"We're fine Hotch." Emily replied, seeing why Reid was getting annoyed about the team babying him.

"Well we need you to get back to the hotel as soon as possible." Hotch stated.

"Okay, is there any particular reason?" Emily asked.

"It will make sense when you get here." Hotch said and hung up.

"Okay that was weird." Emily said confused.

"He thought I'd done a runner didn't he. No one trusts me, I'm not a baby." Reid said. The little happiness he felt had clearly gone.

"Reid I know that, and I think there's another reason Hotch wants us back. He wouldn't tell me over the phone but something's definitely up." Emily's said, annoyed that Hotch had put Reid in a bad mood.

"We better get going. Would you like me to get you another cup of coffee to take out? Emily asked trying to cheer Reid up. It worked a bit as Reid nodded.

"Are you trying to get me bouncing off the walls?" Reid joked. Emily laughed, happy he was being himself again.

The whole walk back to the hotel Reid and Emily joked about. Reid even forgot all the grief he was feeling and was just happy to be himself again. But this didn't last. When they made it into the hotel the team were gathered in the lobby again.

"We're back!" Emily announced loudly. The team all turned around. But there was someone else with them. Emily recognized them but couldn't quite remember where from.

"Dad." Reid breathed all the color and happiness draining from him.
