The first thing derek noticed was that his entire team was in the waiting area.
Garcia saw him first and consumed him in a bear hug as did everybody else, even Hodge.
"How is he?" JJ asked.
"His memory is impared, but he remembers the team well."
"Oh I'm so sorry hot stuff" Garcia said trying to lighten the mood.
"I'm gonna sit with him tonight if you guys don't mind"
Rossi spoke up first. "I think you should look at his personal belongings." I nodded not knowing what else to do. Hotch handed me the bag and I dumped it out on the coffee table. There wasn't much there shredded clothes he had on the day he got kidnapped, some scraps of paper with his handwriting on, and, what looks like a carved wooden knife.
"Alright guys I gotta get back to him. See you guys tomorrow." I walked back to Reid's room and saw his face pained when he gets a nightmare. I went to his side and held his hand. His face softened and relaxed into a peaceful slumber. I pulled a chair over but he somehow, not knowingly pulled me onto the bed with my hand draped over his skinny torso, just like old times.
The next morning..
I woke up and didn't find Reid I'm my arms. I scrambled off the bed while doing a quick scan of the room. Oh god where did he go I thought to myself.
Just then the doctor walked in.
"Morning agent, I know it's early, but I need to inform you that Dr Reid's memory may be impaired from this traumatic event."
"So I didn't dream it all up. He is alive?"
"Why yes, he's in the waiting area talking to SSA Aaron Hotchner" I gently pushed past the doctor into the hallway nearly knocking over a nurse with charts in her arms. After regaining my composure I tried walking down the hallway as normally as possible.
Reid noticed my presence immediately. He stood up and wrapped his arms around me, I buried my head in his neck for a few minutes until Hotch cleared his throat.
"Spencer, if you would please continue. You were explaining what happened that day." We sat down on the love seat together, interlocking our hands.
"Weren't we working a case of missing kids. Our unsub was holed up in a suburb house outside the town. Morgan and Emily went to arrest him in one SUV. I was going to to follow them but...." His body racked with sobs, I drew him close and held him against my chest. A little while later his breathing evened out, I looked down at my pretty boy and saw he was asleep.
The doctor brought a gurney down and I gently placed him on it. They wheeled him away and I turned back to Hotch.
"What the hell man you and I know both know he's not ready for that."
"I'm sorry Morgan but he's the only key witness in this interrogation." Suddenly a blood curtling scream came from Reids room, bolting down there I saw Reid crying because I wasn't with him. The stitches on his forehead had opened up again.
"I thought you said you wouldn't leave me." He said with teary eyes.
"Pretty boy I am so sorry. I knew you weren't ready for that yet."
"No, no I'm OK I need to get it off my chest." I looked into Reid's eyes for some sign that he wasn't ready, but deep down I knew that wasn't the case.
