Chapter Four

Morgan and Reid were sat in Hotch's office waiting. What was taking him so long? Was this some kind of twisted interrogation technique he learned, or invented, when he was at the academy? One more minute with him, and he was going to lose it. He glared at the other, and the other glared back.

Reid cracked his knuckles and crossed his legs, but quickly uncrossed them. It was his nervous habit, and one of the most eight common in America. Emily's was nail-biting, Garcia tapped a pen constantly, JJ used twirl her hair, Morgan paced, Rossi tapped his finger and Hotch didn't seem to get nervous. He knew what he did was stupid, and reckless and slightly childish, but with the headache and the testosterone and adrenaline, as well as the heartbreak, bubbling inside him it made an dangerous concoction, one he didn't like. And it could potentially cost him his job.

Morgan on the other hand just sat there, almost perfectly still, but his mind wasn't. It was running through the fight, to Emily, how mad she'd be at him, the grilling he was going to get from Hotch, and then back to Emily again. This was the first time he had gotten to think about everything. He still had to digest that she chose him, she wanted to be with him, that they were going to make a go of things, that there was a chance she loved him too. But after this, she mightn't be so sure. He'd just have to make it up to her.

Hotch finally arrived. He closed the door behind him, and it was like he was locking prisoners away. They sure felt like prisoners.

He sat down behind his desk and glared at them. ''What in the name of God was that?'' he spoke, his features clearly portraying anger.

''Well, it was..'' Reid began.

''Look Hotch, you know how I feel for Emily,'' Morgan took over.

''Wait you knew about him too?'' Reid asked Hotch.

''Wait, you knew about both of us?'' Morgan asked.

''Everyone did,'' Hotch replied stoically.

''Thanks for telling us man. Anyway, she chose me, and Reid here got upset because she didn't choose him and started acting like a baby,'' Morgan explained.

''That's not what happened! I have an eidetic memory, I know what happened and it wasn't that!'' Reid protested. ''She...chose him, and...and.. my headaches started, and then started rubbing it in my face by getting all affectionate with her-''

''I was just kissing my new girlfriend!''

''Did you really have to do it in front of me? And then next thing I know I had fainted and Morgan and Em-Prentiss stood over me. Then they wanted to 'talk' and I got angry, which you have to admit Hotch I had a right to! Then things got heated, and we both said a few choice words and then...''

''Then I hit him. I started it Hotch, it was my fault. Reid was defending himself. I got a bit carried away, I'm sorry Hotch, and I'm sorry Reid,'' Morgan confessed, althought it wasn't really a confession. He lied.

Reid stared at him open-mouthed. ''Is this true Reid?'' Hotch asked.

Morgan looked at him, urging him to lie, and Reid muttered ''Uh ya.''

Hotch sighed and said to Morgan ''Morgan I'm going to have to suspend you for two days without pay. But I won't report you to Strauss. I should, but I won't. You're lucky, just make sure it doesn't happen again. You too Reid, you're lucky to get off with just a warning. But if this happens again I have no other choice than to report it to Strauss. Now go please,'' said Hotch almost emotionless. He mightn't show that he cares, but he does and he just demonstrated it to them right there.

They exited Hotch's office and Morgan went down to his desk to pack up his stuff. Reid followed him down and asked ''Wait Morgan why did you do that? I threw the first punch, it was my fault, you got in trouble for nothing.''

''Reid, I figured that I hurt you enough with Emily. You don't deserve to lose Emily and get suspended in the same day. Two days is nothing, it just means I can't go higher in the chain of command. I hated being Unit Chief anyway. It's Hotch's job. Emily is so much more important to me than this job, and I know this hurts man, but it will get better, I promise. I'm so sorry in all of this Reid. It's just the worst situation ever. But you don't deserve to take two hits, so I'll take the suspension,'' Morgan answered, patting Reid on the shoulder. ''Now I almost wish she chose you because I have to go and explain it all to her Pretty Boy. See there's a bad side too. She is going to be so pissed at me,'' Morgan smiled and went off to find Emily, leaving Reid alone at his desk.

Reid thought this true. What Morgan did was so kind, he didn't mean to steal Emily off him, it was just an unfortunate coincidence. It stung now, but he could forgive him. And after all Morgan did, he didn't even say thanks. He had to let Morgan, and Emily, know that he could grow to be ok with this. He ran out the glass doors after Morgan and spotted him up the hall getting an earful from Emily. ''Suspended? Oh Derek why did you have to be so stupid?'' Emily shouted.

''He did it for me Emily,'' Reid said as he ran up to them. ''He got my back, and took the fall.''

A confused Emily looked from Reid back to Morgan. ''Did you seriously do that?''

''Yeah, and don't hate me, I figured it was the least I could do for the poor kid,'' Morgan answered, smiling at Reid.

''Thanks man, I don't know what to say. That's the kindest thing anyone has ever done for me, even if twenty-three minutes and forty-nine seconds earlier you stole Emily from me,'' Reid said.

''Anytime man, I feel like I owe you one.''

''Call it even?'' Reid said, offering Morgan his hand.

''Even,'' Morgan replied, shaking Reid's hand.

''And even though I might be mad at you two for a while, you have my blessing. I want both of you to be happy, and you clearly are with each other and I don't want to get in the way of that.''

''Reid you have no idea how much that means to me,'' Emily said as Morgan put a hand around her waist. ''I was afraid of losing you, and this was why I was afraid. I couldn't stand losing either of you.''

''You haven't lost me. I can live with being friends,'' Reid smiled. ''And I'm sorry I hit you Morgan.''

''I didn't even feel it. I just hope I didn't hurt you too badly kid,'' Morgan teased.

''Didn't feel a thing. Although you might have broken my nose.''

''Sorry kid, but you did throw the first punch.''

''Ya I know, sorry.''

''It's ok kid, look I better head or Hotch will kill me.''

''Oh ya of course, see you around,'' Reid said as they turned to leave.

''Wait! One more thing, Reid I have this single friend,'' Emily explained.

''Heh, I think I'll stick to being single for the time being Emily,'' Reid said.

''You'd like her, she's like you, you know smart and nerdy.''

''I appreciate the offer but I'm ok Emily,'' he smiled.

''Alright, but give me a call if you change your mind.''

''I will.'' He watched them walk away, and although it hurt like hell, he'd get over it eventually. Life goes on, but you never forget your first love, especially if that love is Emily Prentiss.

Out in the carpark Emily walked with Morgan to his car. ''That was a really nice thing to do,'' she said.

''I owed it to the kid, I got you, and a suspension is worth it. I figured I got the longer end of the straw,'' he laughed and leaned down to kiss Emily.

''I hope he's ok,'' Emily worried after they ended the kiss.

''He'll be fine, he's strong and all he needs is a good night,'' Morgan answered.

''You are such a man! Sex won't solve everything.''

''It might help. Look Em he will move on, it could take a month, a year, heck he might even have forgotten about it by tomorrow.''

''He has an eidetic memory, he won't forget.''

''I know. It'll take time, but soon it'll be like nothing ever happened.''

''Ok, I guess you're right.''

''I'm always right.''

''Shut up and go home ok?''

''Ok, but I am so coming over to your place later with pizza and beer and don't even think of stopping me Emily Prentiss!''

''With pizza and beer? Why would I stop you?''

''Night princess!''

''Night Derek.'' She walked back into the BAU, leaving the carpark behind.

Back in a dark office, high in BAU headquarters, Penelope Garcia and Jennifer Jareau were sitting watching what had happened in the carpark unfold before their eyes. ''Still think she'd be better off with Reid?'' Garcia asked.

''Well...they are cute, and do seem to care for each other,'' JJ answered reluctantly.

''See! Perfect couple! Boy Genius will get over it, trust me Jayje.''

''I know, I just hope it's soon. You know how upset he can get.''

''I do, but he will be fine. Trust me. Now, since we're done spying on Emily and chocolate thunder god, how about we shift the all-seeing magic eye to Rossi's office? I saw a woman walking in there earlier and she hasn't come out yet.''

''Oooh you're on!''

Again I hope you enjoyed it, and reviews are extremely welcome. If you're nice enough, I might be able to find some way to continue it:)
