Disclaimer: I do not own CM.
Emily Prentiss has never been so happy in the last six weeks than she is right at this moment. Today is the day that she is getting discharged from the hospital. She ended up getting pneumonia as a complication to her broken ribs so they made her stay in the hospital. The casts that were on her broken arms were removed yesterday and the cast on her leg was removed and was replaced with an orthopedic walking boot. She would still have to go through some physical therapy but at least she could do that as an outpatient.
Everyone on the team has came to see Emily at the hospital except the one man that she wanted to come and see her. Then again him not coming to see her was her own fault. She told him that she never wanted to see him again and it seems as if he took her words to heart. She still had a lot of healing to do both physically and emotionally. She still couldn't get over the fact that she had lost the baby the same day that she had found out that she was pregnant.
Emily didn't tell anyone that she was being released today. She just wanted a day at her home alone so that she could try to process everything that has happened. She called for a cab as soon as she had her discharge papers and when she got down to the main entrance ten minutes later the cab was there. The driver got out quickly and came around to help her because she was still a little unsteady on her feet. She had gotten her prescriptions filled at the pharmacy in the hospital so that she could go straight home. She gave the cab driver her address and then leaned back in the seat and shut her eyes.
Once the cab driver pulled up in front of Emily's apartment building he shut his car off and got out to help Emily out. He couldn't help but think to himself that this poor woman needed help if she was leaving the hospital and had nobody to take her home except for calling for a cab. Little did he know help was the one thing that Emily had in abundance but it was also the one thing she didn't want from her fellow team members right now. The driver helped Emily out and even walked into her apartment building with her and helped her to her apartment.
Emily smiled at the cab driver as she gave him the cab fare plus a big tip. "Thank you so much for helping me inside. I know that it's not in your job description."
The cab driver smiled. "It isn't a problem at all Ma'am. Are you sure that you will be alright alone?"
Emily gave the cab driver a sad smile. "I'm sure that I'll be fine. Thank you though for your concern."
The cab driver nodded and turned around and left. Emily watched him leave and then unlocked her apartment door and walked slowly inside. She sighed as she saw that her apartment was the same way she left it all those weeks ago. She knew that if Hotch found out that she was no longer in the hospital and that she didn't tell anybody that he would be over here like a shot. So with that thought in mind she picked up the phone and called for a Locksmith. An hour and a half later her lock was changed and she was the only one with keys. After showing the locksmith out Emily locked her door and turned the ringer off of her house phone and went slowly up the stairs to the bedroom. Although as she walked into her bedroom she decided she didn't want to sleep in the bed that she had shared with Hotch right now so she walked out of her bedroom and into the spare bedroom.
Emily pulled the covers down on the bed and then crawled in. She was extremely tired. She put her cell phone on the table beside the bed and then turned over onto her left side and fell asleep. She was woke up an hour later by her cell phone going off.
Without even looking at who was calling she picked it up and said "Hello."
"Emily, where are you? I called the hospital to call and check on you and they said that you were discharged. Why didn't you tell any of us that you were being discharged? I would have come and picked you up and took you home." JJ said.
Emily sighed and said "JJ, I know that you would have but honestly I just want to be by myself for a little bit. Can you make sure none of the team stop by please? I just need time alone."
JJ let out a groan. "I would if Hotch and Rossi hadn't already left for your place Emily. When I called and they told me you weren't there I freaked out and Hotch and Rossi both ran to where I was standing to see what was going on. I'm so sorry Emily."
Emily let out a breath and said "It's alright JJ. I knew I would have to deal with Hotch sooner or later. At least I can deal with him with Dave around. I'll talk to you later."
Emily hung up the phone and got out of the bed and walked slowly out of the spare bedroom and down the stairs. As soon as she hit the last step someone started pounding on her door. She took in a deep breath and slowly made her way to the front door. She knew who it was before she even looked. Hotch was pounding on the door with his fist and Dave was standing behind him. Emily pulled open the door and Hotch walked straight into her apartment without even being asked.
"What in the hell were you thinking Emily? Why didn't you let anyone know that you were getting released from the hospital? What kind of game are you playing?" Hotch roared.
Emily just looked at him and said "I thought I told you to leave me alone and that I never wanted to see you again. What are you doing here Hotch?"
Hotch sighed and said "Just because you told me to doesn't mean that I'm going to listen to you Emily. You may have walked away from us. No I take that back you ran away from us but I'm not giving up. I will make you see how much I love you. Now sit your damn ass down before you fall down."
Dave stepped forward and took Emily's hand in his and walked her to the couch. "He is right Emily. You need to sit down and rest. I think it's too soon for you to even be out of the hospital."
Emily just glared. "I'm fine and if you two will leave I would be even better."
Dave shook his head and said "We're not going anywhere until we know that you're okay Emily. Why didn't you tell us that you were getting out of the hospital today?"
Emily closed her eyes and sighed. "I just wanted one day alone. I'm tired of acting like everything is alright when it's not. I lost my baby and everyone expects me to be okay. Well newsflash for you all. I'M NOT OKAY!!!"
Hotch knelt down in front of Emily. "You know Emily you act like this is only affecting you. Well take a look around and see that it's not. The baby you lost was also my baby. How do you think I've been feeling the last six weeks? I know you're mad at me but what right do you have to think that you're the only one who is grieving? None! That baby was mine too and if you would have told me that you were pregnant I would have showed you how happy that made me. Now here is some food for thought for you. I CHOOSE YOU! You don't get to make the choice for me. If you would have stuck around instead of leaving you would have known what I was feeling. But you decided to run."
After Hotch said all that he stood up and looked at Dave. "Dave you stay with her. I'm going back to the office. I will send JJ over here. Right now I need to think before I saw something that we're all going to regret."
Emily watched in shock as Hotch walked out of her apartment. She couldn't believe what he had just said. She looked at Dave and saw that he was looking at her with concern in her eyes. She finally let the tears fall and Dave pulled her into his arms and held her.
"Emily, you and him really need to talk. Give it today and then call him tomorrow. He is right and you know it. The baby you lost was also his and he is dying inside." Dave said.
Emily looked up at him and nodded because she knew he was right. She wasn't the only one hurting. She also knew that after what Hotch just said to her that they did indeed need to talk.
