the great war, spencer reid [ 2 ]

082. and in the end

Bedelia had put her phone on do not disturb and passed out, oversleeping by an hour and a half.

"Shit." She mumbles, brushing the hair out of her face and tiredly groaning. She reaches out, frowning when she finds the bed empty. She sighs, opening her eyes to look at his side of the bed.

"Damn it." She mumbles. She gets out of bed and opens the door. Trudging out of the room, she rubs the sleep out of her eyes. "Spence?" She calls. "You awake?" She walks into the living room, her gaze already focused on the couch. She sighs, her eyes trailing over to the desk and she freezes at her husband on the floor.

"Spence?" She rushes over, dropping to her knees. "Spencer?" She panics at the blood under his nose. She lowers her head, feeling his breath hit her ear. "Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Fuck." She digs in his pockets for his phone and quickly finds it.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"Hi. Um, my-- my husband. He's-- he's unconscious, he has some blood under his nose. I don't-- he seemed fine last night and I just woke up to him passed out on the floor. I don't know how long he's been like this. He's breathing.

"All right, can you give me your address?" The woman asks and Bedelia gives it to her.

Spencer starts to convulse, his eyes rolling into the back of his head.

"Oh, my God. Shit, shit." Bedelia hisses. "He-he's convulsing. Be quick, please. Please, just get here quickly. He's convulsing, I don't know what to--"

She looks up when the door opens, Eliza and Theodora stepping in, the former holding Lucy's car seat.

"Oh, my God." Eliza immediately covers Theodora's eyes before she can see anything.

"Out! Now!" Bedelia yells.

"Mommy?" Theodora calls.

"Get out!" Bedelia shouts, Eliza quickly dragging the girl out and shutting the door. "Fuck." The woman hisses.

Bedelia follows the nurses as they wheel Spencer on a gurney.

"It's Dr. K. Can you hear me, sir?" She asks Spencer. "How long has he been unconscious?"

"I don't-- I don't know." Bedelia says. "We got home last night and he was awake when I went to bed. At-- at least, I think he was. I don't-- maybe he wasn't. Oh, my God. Maybe he wasn't. I could've found him last night." She dreads. "There... there was an explosion 24 hours ago." She informs. "Could it-- could it be a concussion or something?"

"So he's been under a lot of stress?" Dr. K asks.

"He's a fucking FBI agent, of course he has. There isn't a day without stress." Bedelia snaps. "So-sorry."

"I need to run some tests. Are you family?" She asks.

"I'm his wife." Bedelia nods.

"Get him to CCU." Dr. K orders. "I need to talk to you."

"Yeah." Bedelia nods.

Bedelia is sitting in Spencer's hospital room, staring at him.

"B?" She looks up and sees Penelope. Bedelia weakly smiles as she stands up. "Come here." Penelope pulls her into a tight hug. "He'll be okay. He's strong. He'll be fine."

"Mm-hmm." Madelyn mumbles, sniffling. "He scared the hell out of me. He-- he started convulsing and I've never seen him do that before. I--" She hiccups.

"It's okay. It's okay." Penelope comforts. "Shh, shh. It's all right. He'll be okay."

They called Diana and she gets there. Penelope is outside of the room while Bedelia is inside. Eliza kept the girls occupied, taking them to the park and trying to avoid Theodora's questions, assuring her her dad is fine.
