(Spencer p.o.v)

I walked into the station with Jj since we finished collecting the morgue files on the victims, when we were stopped by Morgan.
"What's going on?" I asked as we both held a confused look towards him.
"Jj can you go to the others. I've been told to keep Pretty boy here for a bit."
Jj continued to walk to where the others and I watched to see her stop before running into the room with them. Before I could see why Morgan stood in front of me so I couldn't see the person.
"Morgan what the hell is going on? Why can't I go see the others?"
"Me and Prentiss ran into someone, so they are talking to the others right now."
"And I can't see who it is?"
"Reid, they just want to let the rest of the team talk to them before you. It's perfectly fine."
"Perfectly fine? I feel excluded."
"Look I want to apologise for earlier. About you thinking you saw River. I shouldn't have dismissed it since I know how much you've been missing her. The whole team has."
I looked past him again to see a person that looked like River. I began to make my way to the room and rushed into the room with Morgan shouting at me. They all looked at me but all I cared about was River, who still hadn't noticed I was there.
"Look all I'm saying is, I wasn't able to have dinner because big tough guy and Em basically kidnapped me, so I should at least get something to eat." She told as she lifted her head to talk to us and her eyes met with mine.
"River?"
"Hi Spencer." She told with a small wave and smile.
"I think it's time they get some space to talk." Hotch told as he ushered everyone out.
Once the door shut behind me the room fell in silence.
"You look tired. How much sleep have you been getting?"
"Hardly any." I told still unsure if this was a dream or not and sat down in the seat next to her.
'Please don't let this be a dream.'
"You should try to get more. Look very attractive still though babe. The beard looks great. Very sexy actually."
"Am I dreaming?"
"Would be weird don't you think? Us dreaming this exact situation."
"How are you here? Why did you leave without saying anything? How could you just drop everything and go?"
"I took a plane here for a holiday. I told you guys I was going on a trip for a bit to clear my head and I made the mistake of having Grace pick out my clothes and packed them into a bag. Whole thing really, I kinda look like a mini her."
"You left me! You left the team!"
"I did." She told as she looked down at the cup she had.
"Why? Why would you just up and leave like we meant nothing?!" I yelled as all my emotions from the past three months flooded back.
"Spencer I would rather have this chat not in a fucken station." She told and I could tell she was starting to get mad.
"No we are talking about it now!"
"Oh what? Your interrogating me?!"
"Fine I'm interrogating you. Because I haven't seen you in three months and frankly this is the only way I'll get the answers I need from you."
"Oh wow. You changed in the three months I've been gone for."
"I've been worried sick about you! I've hardly slept, I've hardly eaten, I've hardly done anything but go to work, home, cry and then sleep."
"Spence what did you want me to say?!"
"Were we not good enough to stay?! Did you think we wouldn't be hurt after you were kidnapped by your own brother who is still out there looking for you?!"
"Yes you guys were and I know he is still looking for me!"
"Then why would you leave us and have us not knowing if you were safe or not?!"
"BECAUSE I NEARLY KILLED MYSELF AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU GUYS TO FIND OUT!!"
Once she said those words all the anger I had left and I became worried about her.
"What?"
"I nearly killed myself the day I woke up in that basement. I told Hotch and we agreed to give me time off here where I can do some therapy and group counselling to just put me back in the right head space. I was going to head back after this month."
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"Because I didn't want you guys to feel like you weren't good enough. I didn't want you guys to see how being back in the situation with my brother brought me back to my 8 year old mind even for a split second." She told as she grabbed her head and held it as she began to cry into her lap.
I got off my seat and crouched down in front of her. I slowly grabbed her hands and pulled them away from her before slowly pulling her head away from her lap.
"Hey I'm sorry about this.... did you just hit me with a broom?" I asked as I recalled when we first met.
"It's cause you knocked all these books down you big goof." She told as a small smile appeared on her face.
"Come here." I told as I sat down and pulled her into my lap.
She sat down and leaned into me, as I began to slowly play with her hair and kissed her forehead to show her it was going to be alright.
"I'm sorry. I was just upset and angry that you left not realising what being back there would cause for you."
"It's fine. I only thought of it briefly before remembering that I have you and the team. Also would have been a trigger for him."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because then you would feel bad more about letting me walk out of that bar and I couldn't handle you blaming yourself more for that." She told as she began to cry more now.
"Hey hey hey. It's ok please don't cry. We are back together now and I'm with you for every step of the way."
"Really? You don't want to break up with me for being a complete wanker?"
"Never. Because I love you."
"I love you two Spence."
I gave her a soft kiss on the lips that she returned making me smile that I had her back. When we pulled apart I rested my forehead against her and let my eyes shut as I was finally happy to have her back.
"I'm so glad your alright and that your back in my life."
"Oh I was not alright. The unsub tried to kill me that's why I was at the crime scene this morning since Hotch told me to meet him there."
"Wait what?!"
