Author's Note: So I've been wanting to write a story about this because I happen to think it's an important topic.
So I don't mind Will at all, but for this particular story he is the bad guy.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing except the storyline. Characters belong to their respective owners.

A loud knock woke Emily up from her little nap. She wondered who could be bothering and why in the world they would be. She was stressed enough with what happened at the compound with Cyrus, she didn't want anyone to bother her at all. Her mindset immediately changed when she saw JJ standing at her door with a sleeping Henry in her arms.
"JJ what are you doing here…it's midnight sweetheart." Emily said concerned the term of endearment slipping out unnoticed. Emily would never admit it but she was in love with Jennifer Jareau and had always been.
"Em can Henry and I stay here tonight? I can't be at home." JJ asked. Emily could tell she was holding back tears.
"Yes of course Jayje. You don't ever have to ask. I moved Henry's bed into the spare bedroom so he had his own room. You can sleep in the guest bedroom. It's practically yours anyway JJ. How about you go sit down, make yourself comfortable and I'll go lay the little one down." Emily suggest before JJ reluctantly handed Henry to Emily.
Emily walked down the hallway with Henry in her arms and his overnight bag over her shoulder. She didn't know why JJ came crying to her house but she was going to kill whoever made her feel this way. She had a pretty good idea who it was too.
Once Emily carefully placed Henry in his bed and gave him his stuffed sloth she closed the door and braced herself for whatever storm was about to come.
When she reached the living room she found JJ staring into the abyss while nursing a cup of steaming coffee. God, she is beautiful is all Emily could think to herself before gaining the courage to approach her.
"Jayje." Emily said gently as she approached as to not startle the Agent sitting on her couch in the middle of the night.
"Oh hey Em sorry I didn't mean to space out like that. I can make you a cup coffee so you won't get mad." Emily was taken aback by JJ's words. Why was she apologizing for getting lost in thought? Why was she volunteering to make her coffee so she wouldn't get mad?
"JJ you have nothing to apologize for, and I'm not mad. Why would I be mad? You're entitled to your thoughts JJ." Emily told her gently placing her hand on JJ's shoulder before pulling away when JJ flinched.
"JJ what's wrong? Don't lie to me either. You showed up here with your son and two overnight bags. You flinched when I touched your shoulder. You apologized for thinking and offered to make me coffee so I wouldn't be mad. JJ please tell me the truth Jennifer." JJ looked up at the use of her given name and saw nothing but love in Emily's eyes.
Without thinking JJ launched herself at Emily until their lips met. When Emily pulled away first JJ started to freak out that she made more of a mess of everything.
"Emily I'm sorry please don't hate me I'll do whatever you want just please Emily don't hurt me. I'm sorry for not asking permission." JJ said sobbing. Emily took JJ into her arms before starting her little speech.
"JJ, first of all I would never ever hurt you. I would rather hurt myself first. Second, we are going to talk about why you are so afraid right now but I need to ask you something. Okay? Did you mean that… the kiss I mean." Emily asked truly hoping the answer was yes.
"I did Em. I've always wanted to that honetly. I love you Emily Prentiss." JJ said.
"I love you too Jennifer Jareau." Emily said before lovingly kissing JJ again.
"Can we talk about why you're here?" Emily asked
"No better time than the present I suppose." JJ chuckled trying to lighten the mood. Emily gently touched her knee urging her to continue, glad that she didn't flinch this time.
"Will he um he raped me Em. Not just tonight, it's happened before." JJ stopped when she felt Emily's grip tighten on her knee.
"Oh god I'm sorry Em. I didn't want it I promise." JJ said scared that Emily's anger was towards her.
"I'm not angry at you I promise, I'm angry at Will." Before she could continue she was interrupted by a knock at the door.
"What the hell." Emily said before heading over to the door.
Who she was only made her madder.
"What do you want William?" Emily asked in her Agent Prentiss voice. This caught JJ attention and she walked over to the door.
"What do you think you're doing here?" JJ asked Will while subtly putting her hand on Emily's back to calm her.
Will didn't miss this or the fact that Emily was standing protectively in front of JJ.
"Are you sleeping with her Jennifer? Already. You left me an hour ago. Stupid dyke." After Will's little he had, had enough and walked into the room pushing JJ to floor before Emily could react. There was a loud bang and Henry came down the stairs seeing his father on top of his mother with his hands around her throat. He then saw his Aunt Emmy trying to pull his daddy of his mommy. He started crying when he saw the tears of his mother and aunt.
"Aunt Emmy why is Daddy hurting Mommy." Henry asked scared for his mom.
"Henry, go upstairs to your room, lock the door, and don't come out until your Mommy or I come and get you okay? Go." Henry nodded to his Aunt's response and ran back up the stairs.
Emily finally managed to get Will off of JJ and immediately handcuffed him.
"William LaMontagne you're under arrest for the assault, attempted murder of a federal agent, rape, domestic abuse, and breaking and entering. You have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you. You have the right to an attorney if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand your rights?" Emily asked before throwing him up against a wall and grabbing JJ's cuffs off the floor and cuffing him to the table. She quickly grabbed her phone and dialed 911.
"This is SSA Emily Prentiss I need backup at this location and an ambulance. Please contact our team at the Behavioral Analysis Unit as well." She said before laying the phone on the ground and crawling over to JJ.
"JJ are you okay? What hurts?" Emily asked.
Emily grabbed JJ's hand when she saw her struggling for air and brought it to her chest.
"Jennifer focus on my breathing sweetheart. Focus on my breathing." Emily urged JJ. She was satisfied when she realized her technique was successful in getting JJ to calm down and start breathing regularly.
At that moment the team came through the door and took in the scene. Emily was hovering over JJ who was lying on the ground with bruising already starting to form on her neck. Will was handcuffed to the table with a smug look on his face.
"You stupid bast-" Derek Morgan began as he made way over to Will.
"Derek stop he's not worth it. Just get him out of my house and sight." Emily said putting a hand up from stopping Derek. He did as he was told and just un-cuffed Will from the table and led him to the police car outside.
"Hey Emily the ambulance is here. JJ can you walk?" Hotch asked his two agents who were still on the floor. JJ nodded and started to stand with Emily's support.
"Hey Jen, Hotch is going to take you to the ambulance, and I'm going to go get Henry." Emily said nodding to Hotch. At the mention of her son, JJ turned to Emily frightened.
"He saw some of it, but he's up in his room waiting for me." Emily said before squeezing JJ's shoulders and heading up stairs to get the, probably, scared little boy.
Emily made her way up the stairs and knocked on the spare bedroom's door.
"Henry it's me, Emmy, you can come out now. It's okay I promise, you're safe." Emily said before slowly opening the door to find a crying Henry curled up into a ball on his bed. Emily rushed over to him and picked him up.
"Oh sweet boy. It's okay it's all over now, I promise. Let's go see your mommy. Do you want to do that?" She asked the boy already starting to pick him up when she felt his little head nod into her shoulder.
Emily made her way down the stairs and made it to the ambulance just before they closed the doors.
"Wait I'm coming with you. This is Agent Jareau's son." Emily said to the paramedic. He just nodded.
"Henry." Was all JJ said when she saw her son before reaching out to hug him and give him a kiss.
"Mommy why was Daddy hurting you?" Henry asked breaking both women's hearts because he sounded so innocent.
"Your Daddy is a very bad man Henry." Was all JJ could say that would make sense to Henry.
"But Daddy said that if I didn't tell you that he was hurting me at night then he wouldn't hurt you." Henry said tears falling down his face.
Emily and JJ looked at each other before JJ's eyes rolled back in her head and the monitor went off.
