Chapter 14 (Reid's P.O.V)

I sat up and gasped. I was in the hospital room. Was it all a dream? Kate couldn't be here! I thought, JJ, Hotch, Derek, and Garcia were in the room. Garcia smiled widely as did the rest,

"Spence, it's okay you're in the hospital."  JJ said, I looked around the room,

"Where's Evelyn?" I said, Derek smiled,

"At home with Rossi. You look like you've seen a ghost Reid, what's up?" I rolled my eyes,

"Well for one I've been shot." They didn't respond and I sighed,

"I saw Kate, I don't know if it was a dream but she gave me two choices. To stay with her and return here. Well, I chose here."  They all smiled,

"Emily saw her too. She took her to a wedding and offered her the same things."

"Yeah she took me there too."

(Time Skip)

I was able to leave the hospital a week later. Evelyn came speeding up and hugged me tight. I did the same, a few tears escaping my eyes.

"Grandpa, you're home!" The rest of the day consisted of a big gathering of the team and their families. Emily came too, she looked happy to see us all.

"Reid, did you see Kate too?" She said raising an eyebrow. I nodded, she hugged me and the rest did too. Shortly after I put Evelyn to bed. As I was tucking her in she looked up and said,

"Grandpa, the bad guys will get me." I frowned and shook my head,

"Eve, the bad guys aren't coming, you know why?" She shook her head, I smiled,

"Cause if you want, you can sleep with me." She smiled and nodded and I led her into my bedroom.

"Grandpa?"

"Yeah Eve?" She hugged me tightly and I could feel the tears land on my shirt, She looked up with her piercing blue eyes and said quietly,

"Thank you for choosing to stay."
