the great war, spencer reid [ 2 ]

043. wheels up

The four Reids are at home, it no longer a crime scene. Theodora fell asleep, despite trying to fight it to spend more time with her dad. They tucked her into her bed and Spencer got Diana to bed to let her get some sleep too after the last few stressful hours. He promised they'd all spend time together in the morning.

Spencer groans as he plops down on to the bed, sighing at the softness.

"I'm never leaving this bed." Spencer states. Bedelia giggles, sitting on the bed near his head.

"About time." She jokes, ruffling his hair. Spencer moves his head so it's resting in her lap. Bedelia starts to comb her fingers through his hair.

"I'm really glad you're home." Bedelia says, smiling down at him. Spencer softly smiles, raising a hand to rub her knee.

"Me, too." He whispers. "I'm really sorry for what I said earlier."

"Forgiven." Bedelia assures. "We were all under a lot of stress, we were just taking it out on each other. Sorry I ranted while you were fighting for your life."

"Forgiven." Spencer says. "I always want to know what's going on with you? Stress, joy, anger. Don't hold it in."

"Okay." Bedelia nods. "But I vote we don't talk about it right now. It's already been an emotionally trying day."

"Deal." Spencer nods, sitting up. He moves to face her, pulling her into a kiss. Bedelia moans into the kiss, her arms wrapping around his neck.

"Mm. Is this going where I think it is?" Bedelia asks.

"It's been 3 months. Yes." Spencer nods, taking his jacket off. Bedelia giggles, slipping her own jacket off. She holds his face, the two deepening the make out. Bedelia straddles his lap, both moaning into the kiss.

The phone starts to ring.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Bedelia groans.

Spencer grabs his phone, looking at Garcia's contact name.

"Garcia." He answers the phone. "What?" His eyes widen making Bedelia frown. "O-okay. Yeah. We're on our way to the hospital." He hangs up.

"What? What happened?" Bedelia asks.

"The team got in a car accident. Most of them are kind of okay, but Walker died and they can't find Emily." Spencer informs, moving her off his lap.

"What?" Bedelia's eyes widen.

"Garcia and Matt Simmons are at the scene. The others are on their way to the hospital." He grabs his jacket, quickly putting it on.

"I-- ye-yeah." Bedelia grabs her jacket, rushing out. "Wait, wait, what about--" She points towards the bedrooms.

"I'll call Eliza on the way. Come on." Spencer says, ushering her towards the door.

They're at the hospital, waiting for the team to get there. They look over as the double doors swing open, Rossi, Tara, and JJ being wheeled in on gurneys, Luke walking with Tara's gurney.

"Hey." Spencer says, Luke only points back to JJ.

"Hey." Bedelia calls.

"B. Spence." JJ says.

"You okay?" Spencer asks her.

"I'm fine." JJ assures.

Bedelia looks back, seeing Rossi unconscious on his gurney.

"I need to call Will." JJ says, sitting on the  bed and holding an ice pack to her head.

"I did. I did. He's on the way." Spencer assures.
