"All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them." -Galileo Galilei

After the case was over, it was time for everyone to go home. They told you that they wanted to wait until you got out of the hospital to go home, but you insisted they left anyways. Besides, they had cases to get to, you didn't want to slow them down. Spencer, being the only one who didn't leave, was by your side constantly. At this rate he wasn't even trying to hide anything anymore. You were confident that by the time you got back to Quantico, Hotch would have to speak to the both of you in his office. You were just thinking about what Hotch would say when the team walked in to tell you goodbye. When Penelope had heard that you were in the hospital, she caught the first flight to you. She wanted to make sure that you were okay. The last time you were in the hospital, she had been there for you. She's always been there for you, and you were forever grateful for that. When JJ and Emily bent down over your hospital bed to give you a hug, they both gave you a knowing look. If they knew, and Penelope definitely knew, who else knew? Okay, lets just be honest, there is no way that Derek doesn't know. By now, Derek would have noticed that Spencer has been acting different. While everyone was crowding around you trying to say goodbye, yo knew that everyone cared, but yet being surrounded just made you feel off. While everyone was talking you to you at what seemed like all at once, you kept looking at Spencer. He knew exactly what you were thinking. He was the only one who stood back. He knew that you didn't like to be crowded. Suddenly, one by one, everyone hugged you goodbye. Even Hotch, which shocked you at first but you quickly hugged back. When everyone was out of the room, they were all waiting for Hotch, who was talking to Spencer. When Spencer nodded, Hotch turned and walked out of the room. Everyone started to walk our of the hospital to go back to Quantico.

Spencer turned and started to walk towards you. "Hey, how are you doing? Are you hungry?"

"No thanks. I don't really have an appetite. What did Hotch say to you?"

Spencer chuckled as he sat in the chair next to your bed. "He just told me that I need to take care of you. He also said that when you are discharged, to call him and he'll send the jet over to pick us up."

"Do you think he knows?"

"About us? Oh yeah, he knows."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Come on Y/n. It's Hotch. I could have quit the BAU, faked your death, ran away, and he would have still known that we were together."

"Ugh. I hate that your right. That man always figures everything out."

"Yes he does. Well since your not hungry right now, are you tired?"

"Yeah kind of, after everyone was here."

"Yeah I kinda figured. Go to sleep." You look at him and he quickly speaks with a voice that would always make you feel at home. "I'll be right here when you wake up, I promise."

You slowly nod at him then try to get yourself in a more comfortable position. After you find the right spot to sit where your not in pain, you begin to doze off. As soon as you are about to slip into unconscious, you feel Spencer take your hand. You try to stay awake long enough to hear him.

"I will never leave you Y/n. It doesn't matter what Hotch says. I promise I'll be here for you. I lo-"

You fall asleep before you can hear the last thing that he had said. Even though you were pretty sure you knew what he had said. Your dream mainly consisted of what he said just floating around your head. A part of it was your words.

'There is no way he is saying what I think he is saying right now. Do I feel the same? Okay that was kind of a dumb question. Of course I feel the same! I cannot believe he waited till I was asleep to say it. Wait...does that mean he thinks I wouldn't feel the same?! Oh no, have I not been showing him how I feel? I know I'm not good at showing my emotion that well, but I didn't think it was that bad. Oh god. If I wake up and don't remember any of this I will be so upset.'

"Okay so are we just not going to talk about it?" Hotch had said on the flight back to Quantico.

"Talk about what?" JJ had said, fully knowing what Hotch was talking about.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about." Hotch looked at JJ.

Penelope was the first one to speak up. "Okay to be fair, I thought it would have been longer till he noticed."

"I think we all did." Derek spoke after Penelope.

Hotch was visibly confused until he saw everyone hand Emily five dollars.

"Okay seriously, you guys had a bet to see how long it took me to notice?"

At the same time, everyone nodded and Hotch rolled his eyes.

"Of course you did. How long did it take me?"

"About four weeks. Everyone said either too high or too low, but I guessed the closest." Emily said with a proud grin on her face.

You were still asleep when Spencer had pulled out his phone. You wake up to see him smiling.

"Whats funny?" You said in a groggy voice.

"Penelope texted me. Apparently, everyone made a bet to see how long it took Hotch to notice that we were together."

"Oh, nice. So who won?"

"Emily. Everyone had to give her five dollars."

You laid your head back with a laugh. "Of course it was Emily."

The rest of the night with Spencer concluded watching movies and talking about things that the both of you are passionate about. He told you more about his mom, which isn't really something he likes to talk about. Its not a very happy topic, so he tends to leave it out of any type of conversation. The entire night though, there was something in the back of your head that you couldn't get to go away. All you remember was when you were falling asleep, Spencer started talking to you. Maybe it was something he said that you were trying to remember. Maybe you will remember tomorrow. Besides, you have three more days in the hospital till your discharged, which means you have plenty of time to think about it.
