"She was hurt pretty badly." Shaking Reid is sitting on the bed while Morgan is in the bathroom attached to it, getting changed. "I didn't want that."

"That was JJ's doing not yours." Morgan tries coming back into room. "Here lay down."

Reid is shaken up by the incident eventhough Morgan bought him out of there almost immediately.

"C'mon." He grabs Reid ankles and moves his legs up to the bed while he gets seated against the headboard. "And here comes the fluffy blanket I know you are jealous of." He pulls his blanket over and covers Spencer's legs in it.

Truth be told he doesn't know how to make him feel better. "You want to watch some TV?" Morgan had hung up the TV in his room when he first moved in and he can count on one hand the times he had time to use it. "What about some Suits? You like that show don't you? Or Doctor who?" Spencer doesn't show much of an reaction so Morgan takes the safe path and goes with Doctor who.

His alarm clock rings and the episodes are still playing on the TV, Morgan had been scared to turn it off and waking him up again. Spencer had been between watching and sleeping the whole time. "You watch another episode and I am going to hit the shower and make breakfast." He doesn't get any response nor does Spencer eat or makes any attempt to get out of bed so Morgan writes Hotch quick message and settles on a day in bed watching Doctor who till eventually Reid speaks. Very quietly and with his back turned towards Morgan but he speaks.

"I hurt her too."

"Come again?"

"Lola, I hit her." Morgan could see him grabbing the blanket in his arms tighter.

"I am sure not out of the blue."

"But I did."

"I know it is not right in any situation to hit your partner but I think I still need the context here."

"I was on top of her and she doesn't like that usually but she wanted to try out something new." Spencer starts. "And then she said I wasn't doing it right and then she said I should hit her maybe I would be good at that. And I didn't. And then she yelled at me that I should hit her and I did and I immediately backed up and got away from her."

"Kid she asked you too."

"But I hit her. I hurt her."

"With her consents and if I am not mistaken without yours."

"What?" He suddenly turns around. "I was on top of her didn't you hear me? I was the one suppose to stop when she told me I wasn't doing it right."

"She told you that?"

"Spencer this was probably the worst time we have done this, you can't even get hard, we should have stopped at that point." He quotes her.

"We should have stopped, she also knew something was wrong and with what you told me she knew before she even started it." Reid lets himself fall back into the pillow. "You did not ignore her stop okay?"

"You weren't there."

"She would not have asked you to hit her if you had."

"I still shouldn't have hit her." Morgan drives to the office in the evening to start on the paperwork after Emily stepped by keeping Reid company who was after he got that off his chest a little bit more talkaktive and had been happy when Emily suggested a movie they should see and was even fine with having her sit on the bed next to her. There was some distance and she had to keep her body on top of the blanket but it was a progress.

"How is he?" Hotch asks when Morgan steps into his office dropping off the first stack of files and gets a look from Morgan that he understands as exactly how Spencer is. "What JJ did probably didn't help his fear of her." Hotch isn't mad at her and he especially wasn't mad at her when he overheard the conversation of Will and JJ when he picked her up yesterday.

"She made Spence afraid of me. You would have done the same thing."

"I know JJ but doing stuff likes this is not gonna fix anything and especially not for Spencer." Will tried.

"He doesn't even talk to me anymore. He doesn't even come over to see Henry." Hotch could hear her crying and that was when he left.

"If you don't mind I will take the rest home." Morgan says gesturing to the files down in the bullpen. "A few of Reid's too."

"No don't. Leave them where they are I am taking care of it."

"It is fine I can do it."

"No please. I will do it."

"Thank you, Hotch." When Morgan comes back home with pasta he bought. He places them on three plates and carried them up into the bedroom where Reid is asleep and Emily still watching TV. "I bought pasta." He whispers and gestures for her to follow him down.

"Thank you."

"Not for this." They sit down at the dining table and Emily gets lost in thoughts when she looks at Spencer's filled plate.

"You think he is gonna be okay?"

"It hasn't even been two weeks since we found out. I think he needs time and patience and than he can be."
