Reid was nervous when he was about ready to be taken to pre-op for his surgery. Maeve gave him a light, loving kiss on the cheek. "I love you Spence." Maeve said, she didn't admit it; but she was beyond terrified. She didn't want anything to happen to her boyfriend.
Even though Reid had medication that made him really relaxed, he looked at Morgan with sad, scared puppy eyes. Morgan put a hand on Reid's shoulder. "We will all be here when you wake up Pretty Boy." Everyone said their goodbyes to Reid. Once Reid was taken to pre-op, Maeve was the only one that ended up going with him. Everyone else went into the waiting room for families that were waiting for their loved ones to get out of surgery.
Maeve sat and held Reid's hand as they were getting Reid ready for surgery. She tried to help Reid with his anxiety, but she wasn't really good at the type of stuff.
"I am nervous about how I am going to look without some of my hair." Maeve gave him a look.
"Spence, you will look absolutely fine. You might just have to get it cut short so that it all grows back even. Don't worry about me not loving you anymore if you have a slight bald spot, I will love you no matter what. It is not that easy to get rid of me Spence." Spencer and Maeve both laughed.
"Maeve, I love you." Spencer said. The doctors then came in to wheel Spencer down to the operating room. Maeve walked with them up to the door, while Spencer was going in, Maeve waved at Spencer and blew him a kiss. Even though she thought it was extremely childish, Spencer did it back. One of the nurses led her back to the waiting room to where the team was.
When Maeve came into the waiting room, Alex had a chair waiting for her. Maeve politely sat down and felt kind of awkward. Maeve had never really met Spencer's coworkers before, what was she supposed to say? She was relieved when Alex started the conversation.
"Spencer talks about you all of the time." Maeve smiled and blushed.
"He does?" Alex nodded.
"You are his world, let me tell you. He was so nervous when you guys met for the first time. He was scared that you would think that he wasn't attractive." Maeve sighed.
"He really thought that? That's not what I look for when I look for guys. He was worried in pre-op about them shaving a part of his head. I told him that I wouldn't treat him any different, neither would you guys." Alex wasn't really shocked.
"He is insecure. I feel bad for him, there is no reason to be." Maeve nodded.
"I have told him that so many times before." While Maeve and Alex were talking, Morgan and Rossi were also having a conversation.
"I just don't get it Rossi, why didn't Reid tell us that he had a brain tumor. Like jesus, he is like my little brother almost. I thought that we had the relationship that we told each other everything. Lately though, I feel like that is not the case anymore." Rossi sighed sadly.
"You heard Reid Morgan. He thought that we would worry about him too much. He was probably nervous about losing his job possibly, even though that wouldn't of happened. Morgan, I think he thought that he had too much on the line. He thought that he had so much to lose." Morgan sighed, Rossi did have a good point.
"I get what you are saying Rossi, but if Reid would have told us sooner, would we been here right now?"
