Out Of Nothing At All

Part Twenty One

No no no no no.

Just.

Oh god.

You didn’t remember anything from the drive to the hospital, you were on complete auto pilot.  Dashing as quickly as you could from the car to the ER entrance, you saw Penelope running from the opposite direction. She lived further from the hospital than you did so must have broken a fair few traffic violations to get here at the same time.

Her eyes were misty and red, but her demeanor was strong and determined. After greeting each other with a quick hug, you entered through the automatic doors and rushed to the admissions desk.

“The maternity ward is level seven.” The clerk looked you up and down, taking in your condition and panicked disposition.

“We’re not here for that. Our friends were bought in. Agent Derek Morgan and Dr Spencer Reid.”

She hit a few keys on her keyboard.

“And who are you? I can only release information to people authorised in their files.”

“Penelope Garcia and Y/F/N.”

She checked again. “Ah okay. The motor vehicle accident. They’re both still up in x-ray. Take a seat and I’ll someone will collect you when they’re back.”

“Are they okay though. Is Spencer okay?”  Garcia had started to walk to the bank of seats but you weren’t budging until you got some information.

“I really don’t know. I’m just the desk clerk. If you take a seat a doctor will come and find you in due course.”

“And when will due course be exactly?” Her haughty tone was pissing you off. You get that she had a job to do but she could show just a little more compassion.

“When they have time to.”

“Listen lady…. I’m 37 weeks pregnant here and one of those men is the father of my child. They are Federal Agents, as are we. I need to know if he’s okay and what happened otherwise the stress and anxiety of not knowing is likely to send me into labour right here, all over your shiny floor. Do you want that?!”

You would piss yourself to make her think your waters had broken if you had to, you needed answers.

“I’ll…. I’ll make a few calls.” She reached for the handset.

“Thank you.” Smiling sweetly you turned to Penelope, seeing she suddenly had company in the form of Aaron and JJ.

“Y/N…. ” Aaron had an amused smile on his face.

“What’s happened. Is he okay Hotch? TELL ME!”

“They’re on the third floor, come on.” He started walking down the hallway to the elevator, you and Penny hurrying behind.

“They decided they wanted to leave after all so they set off for home, the rest of the team deciding to join them. We were maybe fifteen minutes or so behind them?” He hit the button on the elevator.

“It looks like one of the tyres on the SUV blew out when they were a couple of miles outside of the city. It happened on a bend though and it caused the car to flip.” He stopped, hearing the gasp from your chest, your heart now pounding.

“Y/N he’s okay. They both are. We saw the lights from the ambulance and squad cars, it was only when we stopped that we realised it was them. They were both belted in and by some miracle seem to have escaped with cuts and bruises. Spencer had managed to free himself and was out of the car already. Morgan has sustained a concussion though. He was unconscious when the paramedics arrived but regained consciousness on the way here. They’re both just getting checked out. They should be out of xray soon.”
