Chapter 1

As always I do not own criminal minds just the OOC, please R&R

I used many different sites concerning the medical side so hopefully it is somewhat correct.

JJ watched numbly as three men burst through the doors, "Oh thank god" she muttered as they reached her "Ma'am can we have some room please" they asked kindly as JJ moved slightly her legs not fully cooperating with her body. The medics administered a drug to help ease and should stop the seizure. "Can you tell me what happened?" the medic asked, "Her back was hurting and she got up and just collapsed" JJ said as tears ran down her face.

The medic nodded as they carefully lifted her onto the gurney "I'm coming with you" JJ said more firmly than she really felt. "Ma'am with all due" JJ did not give them chance to finish "I am her wife" she glared at them both causing them to nod "We need to get going" as they began to head out the doors, JJ keeping as close to Emily as she could.

JJ sat in the back of the ambulance holding Emily's hand as the medic began to ask JJ some questions about her health and how far along Emily is "She has five weeks left she is booked in for a C-section as she is unable to have a natural birth" JJ said sadly as she looked at her wife

"She has had some problems with her blood pressure and has been told to take it easy, we had a scare last week the doctor was worried they may have to be delivered early," JJ said as she held onto Emily's hand. The medic nodded as they pulled up outside the ER.


They wheeled Emily straight through to the ER. "Ma'am you will have to wait here I am afraid," the nurse said as she looked into sad eyes. "Is there anyone we can call?" "They are all on their way," JJ said as the tears fell. "Can you let me know when the father arrives please?" the nurse asked

JJ's eyes blazed at her "She is my wife, there is no father, those are my children" her voice was low and firm as she spoke "I'm sorry didn't mean to offend you Ma'am" "Please call me JJ" she said as she looked at her "I have rung her doctor, if Emily wakes and is surrounded by strangers she will panic" JJ warned "I understand" JJ nodded as she collapsed into the chair.


Sarah and Karen burst into the waiting room "Ma?" Sarah said, as JJ just broke more she had been on her own for the past twenty minutes and all her worse fears where at the forefront of her mind, she hadn't even registered that Sarah had spoken "Ma, what's happened?" Sarah tried again as she looked to Karen for help.

Sarah had never seen JJ like this and it scared her, she wasn't getting an answer or any type of response the only thing Sarah could think to do was to wrap her arms around her, "I've got you ma" Sarah said weakly. JJ wrapped her arms around Sarah pulling her onto her lap as though she was holding on to her for dear life. Karen gave a soft smile as she knelt in front of them both "Jennifer, look at me," Karen said softly only just getting her attention "What's happened?"

JJ could not help the tears and the sobs that ripped from her chest "She collapsed" it came out in a sob as Sarah held on tighter. "Jennifer, she is in the best" JJ shook her head "I should have" Sarah placed a kiss on JJ's wet cheek "Love you Mama" causing her to hold on to her more "I love you too sweetie" her voice was slightly weak.


Their attention was pulled as the door opened only to reveal the team "Any news?" Morgan asked walking straight over to JJ, who in turn pulled Sarah as close to her as she could, leaving Karen to watch on "Nothing yet, I have only managed to get she collapsed out of her, can you please tell us what happened?" Karen said as she motioned Morgan away from them both.

JJ felt like she had been waiting hours JJ's face was buried in Sarah's neck rocking them both; the team could only look on as their heart broke for them both. The Doctor walked into the room looking straight at JJ "Jennifer" JJ's eyes met hers for the first time that anyone had entered the room they could see the worry evident on her face and in her eyes.

Doctor Young smiled sadly as she spoke "Can I have a word in private please" she asked JJ nodded "I'll be back baby stay with Karen," JJ whispered sadly as the doctor held the door open for her to step outside.


JJ followed her out on shaky legs resting her hand on the wall to support herself "Jennifer we are going to have to deliver the babies, I have ran a scan and it has shown she has Placenta Accreta," she said softly "I need your permission Jennifer" she said looking at her. Her heart went out to the two of them, they had struggled but they had just seemed to be coming along all at once and Emily finally looked as though she was interested. They had been warned that there might be complications and the doctor had said her prayers for it not to be.

"What will happen if you don't?" JJ asked softly. "I will be honest if we don't deliver them now they could die and so could Emily" she looked at her "please save her," JJ pleaded as she signed the forms her main concern was Emily and their children, everything else could wait.

"Jennifer I am afraid you won't be able to be in the room they are getting her ready now, but I need you to be prepared" JJ nodded numbly as the doctor spoke to her "Will the babies be okay?"

Dr. Young looked at her for a moment "I will get a nurse to come in and explain everything to you but I will do my best," she said softly as she opened the door to the waiting room.


JJ walked back into the waiting room falling straight into Sarah's arms "Ma, what's going on?" Sarah asked as her voice broke. JJ collected herself as best she could she looked sadly at Sarah, Karen and the team.

JJ took Sarah over to the chairs as they both sat down before JJ looked at them all "Emily has Placenta Accreta and they are going to deliver the babies" JJ said as a sob ripped from her throat "What else Ma?" Sarah asked as she tried to keep the tears a bay. "She said we needed to be prepared," JJ said as her heart broke, the sobs ripping from her chest.
