I'll Be There For You

Song: Right There - Ariana Grande ft Big Sean

- What the hell?! -she curse.

- It's over, Adams. Your game ends here -Emily says entering in the room followed by the others.

- Oh no, you guys already got in -Cat smiles- you come to see the end and you all... -Rossi cut Cat off.

- There's not bomb -Rossi says- We knew it the moment you said how easy is make people do whatever you want using the magic of the words -Rossi says exposing the truth.

- Well done, agents -Cat says with sarcasm.

- Come on, put the gun down and let's make this less difficult -JJ says.

- I tried to be nice, Spencie... But you still prefer this little slut before me -Cat stares at Spencer's face- We couldve had something good but this game ends with me and you -when she says that I understood it, I know what she's going to do, she's going to shoot Spencer.

- NOOO! -I threw my self over Cat, pushing her a side, releasing Spencer and making the bullet go to the roof. I manage to get the gun out of her hands, and that's when Hotch and Morgan take the opportunity to grab Cat and handcuff her.

- We need medics here -Emily says to the walkie-talkie.

I get up fast, ignoring all the pain and shiver I feel to rush to Spencer, taking his hand in mine while with the other I apart the hair of his beautiful face.

- You could've died -he tells me with his eyes closed.

- I know but I'd risk anything for you -I smile a little.

The paramedics arrive and start to check on Spence, I'm still holding his hand, not wanting to separate from him.

- Ma'am, you have to be checked too -one of the paramedics says.

- I'm ok, please help him first -I tell them.

- Vic,... please -Spencer stares at my eyes concerned.

- Spence, really I'm fine -I force a smile and he notices. I squeeze his hand- I let them check on me later.

- Ok, but I want to be there, I want to know you're fine -he squeezes my hand back.

- We have to go to the hospital -the man says and I nod.

They put Spencer in a stretcher to hop on the ambulance, I follow them and they start to drive.

I sit there in silence watching how the paramedic checks Spence's vitals again opening his shirt to have a better listen to his heart, and I can feel my cheeks turning pink so I look down. Spence quit his hand from mine up to my face and stares into my eyes.

- Hey -he says in a soft voice caressing my cheek with his thumb.

- Hey -I say back letting escape a shaky tone. Spence notices, I know because the way his gesture changed, and was about to say something but the paramedic interrupted.

- We arrive.

They open the door of the ambulance and down Spence with me following behind. Once we enter the hospital, the cold air conditioner hit my face, making my shake state more visible.

Some nurses come up and start making questions to Spencer to then finally say that they will take us to a room.

- You can't come, miss. Just family. -a nurse says. I stop in my tracks but then Spencer speak up.

- She's my girlfriend. Let her come -I open wide my eyes when I hear Spence call me that way, I couldn't help, a smile appears on my face.

The nurse nods and signals me to go with them. I run a little and take Spencer's hand in mine again, till we get to the room and they move Spence to the bed in there, setting everything. Everyone leave the room and the nurse says the doctor will come in a while, we nod and thanks them.

Finally, we're alone. I take steps getting closer to Spence, he takes my hand in his this time. I stare into his eyes and that's it, I couldn't held it anymore, I break down.

- Hey, hey -Spencer put his free hand on my face wiping the tears- Shh... it's ok. Please don't cry.

- I was terrified -I tell sobbing- I thought I lost you when we heard the shoot... And then... When she was about to shoot you... I can't lose you -Spence pulled me down taking me in his arms.

- I'm here, Vic. I'm here -he says softly, brushing my hair- we both are save now -I hid my face in his neck. I start shivering again, I'm still wet. Spence take his blanket and covers me with it.

- I'm fine, you need to be warm -I refuse.

- Vic, I have two -he show me the other- you're too cold, and still wet -he says- Did you know being wet with the air conditioner on can make you have headache and irritate your eyes. -he talks low.

- I missed hearing you say things like that -I smile, breaking the hug to be in a sitting position.

We stay in silence, staring at each others eyes, when we hear a knock on the door breaking our eyes contact. The door opens and we see the doctor.

- Hello, how are you feeling Dr. Reid? -the doctor ask.

- I feel better, a little bit weak but better -Spence tell him.

- That's good. I'm gonna check you and heal the wounds.

The doctor start to check on him, and fuck! The doctor open Spence gown, I try to see other side but I can't help, he's so sexy, I can't just ignore it. If this keep happening I swear I'm... Suddenly I notice eyes over me, Spencer is looking at me with a smirk on his face, oh God he already saw me staring his chest, I'm sure that my face is like a tomato right now.

- Well, you're going to be fine. I'll came later to see how you're doing -doctor says leaving us alone again.

- Vic, I told him to come check on you -Spencer tells me taking my hand again.

- But I... -he cut me off.

- Vic, please. He needs to check you -he says.

- It's just, I don't like doctors too much, I feel uncomfortable -I down my gaze staring at my shaky hands. Spence squeeze it- the last time I was here, was... Was when my friend and I had the accident and she passed away. I was alone. -I sigh.

- You won't be alone this time. I'll be here with you -he takes both of my hands. I nod.

- Thanks for care -I say and then I sneeze tuning my face- Sorry -Spencer look at me worry.

There's a knock at the door, followed by a blonde hair showing up.

- Hi, my little birds -Penelope says walking in- I came to save you. I bring some clothes for you to change, pretty girl -she puts the bag on the couch- the team will come tomorrow morning, they were too tired, so I tell them to go and rest, that I'd come to see you guys.

- Pen -I smile and hug her, she correspond hugging me back- thanks so much.

- My pleasure -we separate- how are you feeling, pretty boy? -she ask to Spence.

- Better, thanks -he smile- Vic, go and change.

- But...

- Don't worry, sunshine. I'll be here -Penelope says and I nod, taking off the cover and folding it to put it on the end of the bed- take a shower too, you'll feel better. I brought you supplies for that -I smile.

- You're my hero, Pen. Thanks -I grab everything and head to the bathroom closing the door.

When I'm in, I undress wincing because of the pain all over my body. I look myself in the mirror.

- Shit! -I say in a low tone staring at the wounds, there's a big bruise on my side, I touched- ugh -mental note don't touch it.

- Vic, are you ok? -I hear Spence ask.

- Yes... I'm fine -I need to be quieter.

I step in the shower and I let out a sigh of relief. I start washing the dried blood being careful with the cut in my arm and the bruise.

When I'm ready and dressed, I head out the bathroom with my cloth folded in my hands.

- Hey, do you feel any better? -Spence ask and I nod smiling a little.

- Where's Penelope's?

- She have to go, but left you some coffee here -he points to the table beside the bed.

I let the the things on the couch and take the glass sipping and feeling happy for the warmth it gave me.

- Spence, you should try to sleep -I tell him sitting in the chair close to the bed.

- I'm worried about you -he looks for my hand and I take it.

- I'm fine -I know lying to him won't work because he's a profiler but... I just don't want him to worry that much about me. I put the empty glass on the table.

- Vic, come here. You have to rest too -Spence makes space in the bed but I refuse- It'll be fine -I heist think for a moment, we never slept that close before, just one night that we were tired and end sleeping on the couch at my apartment- Come on. I don't mind -he insists.

- Ok -I hop on the bed next to him biting my lip to not let out a gasp. I lay, resting my head on his shoulder.

Spencer POV

She's trying to hide the pain she's feeling, but I can't just ignore it, I wish I could take all her pain away.

Having Vic here with her eyes closed, lying by my side, make me realize how much I like her, how much I want her to be in my arms forever. I feel the need to keep her safe. Like it's my responsibility. I haven't felt like this since Maeve.

I pass my hand caressing her arm to her waist. Suddenly I stop when she moves.

- Mmm... -she frowns, biting her lip a little.

- Vic, I know you're in pain. Let me help you -she open her eyes and stare into mine- at least let me see -I take the hair out of her face. She nods.

I roll up her sleeve revealing the cut she had before, I look at it for a moment.

- Vic, you need to get that stitched up. It's too exposed -I tell her- Do you mind if... If I pull up your t-shirt a little to check the other wound -I ask shyly, I don't want her to think I'm taking advantage of her.

- Yes, I don't mind -I nod and roll up reveling a big bruise on the ribs zone.

- Vic, this one look pretty bad -I say concerned- Cat did this to you?

- No -she denies- when those men took me, they dropped me down a hill, and I hit with a tree that stopped me from keep rolling -she explains.

- I'm gonna feel it and see if nothing it's broken -I say and I can tell she got nervous- Don't worry I'll be gentle -I put my hand over and start touching.

- Ugh, stop -she breathes heavy with tears filling her eyes.

- Shh... It's ok, sorry I didn't mean to hurt you -I hug her after pulling down her t-shirt again down- nothing seems broken but it's really swollen.

- Sorry, I've been crying a lot. I feel embarrassed -I giggle.

- Crying is normal, don't be ashamed for that -I brush her hair with my fingers- Research has found that in addition to being self-soothing, shedding emotional tears releases oxytocin and endorphins.

>> These chemicals make people feel good and may also ease both physical and emotional pain. In this way, crying can help reduce pain and promote a sense of well-being -she giggles with that and I smile- That's my Vic. The smiley one.

She looks up to me, connecting our gazes in a comfortable silence. Our faces are about an inch away. I move even closer, my nose rub hers and...

- I came to check -he says after knock. We sigh in frustration at the same time. Victoria get off the bed staggering.

- One moment -I say sitting. I take her by the shoulders- Are you ok?

- I feel a little bit dizzy, just that. I'm fine -I deny- well, I have headache too. Maybe it's because I didn't eat since this yesterday morning.

- What? -I can't believe what she said- I'm gonna call Rossi to bring you something -she nod and sit in the chair next to the bed without letting go her hand- Doctor, you can come in now -he enter- Sorry for made you wait.

- Don't worry -he says.

He start to check on me while I see Vic rest her head on the bed closing her eyes. She's tired, she needs a proper sleep, but she needs to be check first.

- Well, you're good. Tomorrow morning you can go home -he's about to leave.

- Wait, can you please check on her -we both stare at the girl sleeping- She have a cut on her arm and a big bruise in the ribs zone. I felt it and don't seems to be broke but it's pretty swollen -I explain.

- Of course -he say smiling.

- Vic -I whisper shaking her a little.

- Spence... -she sit rubbing her eyes.

- The doctor's going to check on you -she bit her lip as a sign of nervousness.

- oo.. ok -she says almost audible.

- I'm gonna be right here -I squeeze her hand.

- Hello, Victoria -he introduce his self to her- don't worry sweetheart, I'll be gentle -Vic nod- Can you sit here next to Spencer, please. That way we can be at the same height -Vic sit by my side.

The doctor start to check on her, and I'm here, taking her hand in the whole process, caressing it with my thumb.

- Can you please take off your t-shirt? -he ask her, ok I'm the one who's flushed now and she too. She heist for a moment looking at me.

- It's ok, Vic -I smile.

She take her t-shirt off and wow! She's so beautiful. I couldn't resist, my eyes stare at her boobs for a second, she notice and making her cheeks flush. Vic smirks putting a hand on my eyes.

- Pervert -I giggle and she uncovers my eyes.

- The wound just need to be disinfect it and cover it. -the doctor takes something from a cabinet the supplies and start cleaning it.

Victoria squeeze my hand hard and bit her lip, I rub her back to comfort her. When it's done, Doctor covers the wound and she sighs.

- Now I'm going to check the bruise and see if it's just that or something more -Vic bit her lip again.

- I'm here -I squeeze her hand. She nod and let the doctor proceed.

He touch the zone of the bruise and Vic already have tears filling her eyes, broke my heart see her in pain.

- Please... Please stop -she cry. The doctor stop and she throws her self to my arms hiding her face in my neck sobbing.

- Sorry, Victoria -he soft his gesture- nothing is broke, just swollen how you said. She'll need to put some cream over it and change the gauze every night after the shower -I nod- I tell a nurse to bring painkillers for her. She's going to be fine.

- Thanks, doctor -I say and he leave the room.

I look at Victoria who felt asleep on my chest. I rub her back. I grab her t-shirt and carefully I put it on her.

I cover us then finally close my eyes and sleep.

The next morning I wake up, with Vic sleeping between my arms, she look so peaceful. I most be the luckiest man in the galaxy, because I have the most pretty woman just right here with me. Suddenly, someone knocks on the door.

- Come in -I say not too loud to not wake up Vic. I rub my eyes and see the door opening. It's Rossi.

- Buongiorno -he say smiling, I make a sign for him to low the tone- how you feel, kid?

- So much better -Rossi smile and when he see Vic rise an eyebrow.

- If you only had seen all that girl did for you to save you -he laugh- she's too stubborn -I smirk nodding in agreement.

- She's special -I smile staring at her sleepy face, she seems like an angel, so pure.

- I can see that -he smile- By the way, the doctor told me that you can go home.

- Vic -I brush her hair out off her face- Vic, wake up. We can go home -I tell in a soft voice.

- Mmm... Morning -she say rubbing her eyes and sitting. She looks at Rossi- David -she smile.

- Hey, kiddo -he smile back at her- I know it isn't the best moment but I need to inform you something -he become serious.

- What happen, Rossi? -I frown.

- One of the Cat's partners run away before we got there to rescue -I listen with attention and Victoria too- We think he have directions from Cat, and he may go after you Victoria. We need to put the two of you under protection. And we think it's better for you to stay in Victoria's apartment till we can catch him.
