9 parts Ongoing MatureAfter leaving the BAU without a word to anyone but Hotchner, Addy went back to the only home
She'd ever known, Brookes memorial. Hospitals were for healing after all, weren't they?
After spending a month recovering physically while wallowing in her mothers bed, Addy finally got back to work, saving people, the only thing she knew how to do in the hopes she could save herself.
After three months of silence with the team, with Spencer, in the middle of surgery she looks up to see his face in the gallery watching. Deep down, knowing it's time she seeks him out to set the records straight, because what else can you do?
"I swear I didn't know you were working here again. We uh, we had a case. I was looking for an Intern and I just thought I'd watch for a minute when I saw it was you." He put his head down barely looking at me, like he couldn't look at me.
"You look like shit." I sighed watching his head perk a bit.
"Thanks, I appreciate the observation." He was definitely being sarcastic. He just sounded off.
"How's JJ? The baby okay?" His head shot up staring at me confused a moment before speaking. His entire body seemed to tense up.
"Did Emily tell you about it?" I just shook my head.
"No, JJ did. I'm happy for you two, really I am. If you're busy with a case I'll leave you alone, I just thought maybe we could talk." I put my head down going to turn away before I felt his hand on my arm.
"Addy, I, I just don't understand, why didn't you just talk me?" I sighed taking his wrist in my hand and walking him silently to an on call room. Once the door was closed I watched him sit down on the chair hanging his head in his hands.
"I was hurt Spencer, actually no, I was devastated." I watched his face change as my pager went off stopping me from continuing. "Shit, Spence I have to go, someone is coding."
