After a long week in the big apple, the unsub, Roger Flaxen was caught. Unfortunately Reid had been caught in a crossfire with the once unarmed unsub, and had been shot in the abdomen, leaving the team in New York City for an additional week. Reid took a small bite of the jello that Morgan had bought him, while the whole team came in to greet him in his small hospital bed.

"Pretty boy," Morgan whispered, as Prentiss, Rossi, Garcia, and JJ followed behind him.

"Hey." Reid whispered, trying his best to grin.

"Come on Reid, it's not like you just got shot or anything you don't have to be bummed." Prentiss said sarcastically, making Reid laugh.

"Ooh," he moaned, grabbing his side in pain.

"You alright kid?" Rossi asked, as JJ walked over to Reid.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine, it just hurts a bit to laugh and all." he said weakly.

"Sorry Reid," Prentiss replied guiltily.

"You're all good Emily, it's not too bad of an idea to laugh sometimes. You know laughter can-"

"Alright Reid." Prentiss pat his shoulder, and walked outside of the room.

"Well Garcia, Morgan and I were gonna go see Ellis island today, so we'll see you later Reid. Need anything?" Prentiss asked.

"I'm good. Thank you guys for coming. It means a lot." Reid said as he smiled at JJ.

"And I have a cake decorating class in a few hours, so I'll be gone. See you tonight with a nice slice of cake, okay kid?" Rossi said, following Prentiss, Morgan, and Penelope outside.

"Sounds good." Reid said, smiling as him and JJ were left alone.

JJ looked at her shoes frowning. Reid moaned a little bit out of pain as he lifted his arm to put it around her neck.

"Jaydge, what's wrong?" Reid asked concerned. JJ looked up at him as she wiped tears away from her eyes.

"Jennifer," he whispered as he wrapped her in his arms. It hurt, but he knew he couldn't let go of her, he hated seeing her sad.

"Spence, it should've been me. I blame myself that you're here in pain and not me. I'm so sorry." JJ began to cry. Spencer let go of her and held both of her hands.

"Jaydge. You couldn't of done anything. It was me and Roger. And he was aiming for my head. If it weren't for you tackling him I wouldn't be here. He went down fighting, and it's because of you he didn't win." Spencer said wiping the tears away her eyes. "You saved my life." Spencer kissed her gently, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him. He bit her lip gently as he inserted his tongue into her soft lips. She began to kiss his jawline, and she moved down to his neck. He let out some soft moans, some from the pain in his side, and some from the intensity of the kisses. They were interrupted by a door opening to his hospital bedroom. Spencer let go as JJ blushed.

"Um, Dr.Reid I have a refill on those painkillers. Sorry to interrupt." said a short nurse, who scurried over to Reid's IV. JJ backed up from Reid as the nurse gave him his dose of painkillers. She looked Reid in the eyes and mouthed "I love you." as he did the same.
