Five weeks later JJ sat her desk reading a paper when there was a knock on her door. She shoved the paper in her desk and pulled a file down, acting like she was working on it. "Come in."
"Hey JJ you got plans for lunch?" Emily stood in the doorway. JJ had taken a week off and since she had came back the whole team had been treating her like glass. All inviting her to lunch, or supper, all kinds of stuff so she wouldn't be alone. They had been on one case since then, and she had done ok. Nightmares would find her some but other than that she was fine. While she appreciated her friends good gestures, it was getting kind of annoying.
"I think I'm going to work through lunch." JJ said, hoping Emily wouldn't think she was rude, she just needed to be alone. "Maybe tomorrow."
"Oh ok, well if you change your mind just be ready by 12." Emily said pulling her door shut as she left. JJ pulled the paper out and read the number at the top.
JJ lifted her office phone from its cradle and dialed the unfamiliar number from the paper. It rang five times and just as she figured It was going to go to voicemail it was answered. "Doctor Campbell's office, how may I help you?" a cheery voice said.
"Uhh yeah this is Jennifer Jareau. I need an appointment for lunchtime today, preferably with Doctor Peyton." She was one of JJ's old friends, and JJ hoped she could help her.
"We have one for 11:45. Is it possible for you to make that one?"
JJ looked at the clock. It was 11:15. If she left now she could make it. "Yeah that's fine. Thank you, I'll be there."
She hung up the phone and grabbed her pocketbook. Rushing out of the office she practically ran to the elevator. The team was all at there desks, and looked at her questionably when she ran past. She gave a quick wave. "Be back in an hour."
"Emily where's JJ going?" Hotch asked, walking from his office when he saw he run past.
"I don't know sir. She said she was going to work through lunch."
Derek walked up to Emily and Hotch, looking worried about JJ just leaving. "You want us to follow her?"
"No. JJ is a member of this team. We will not betray her trust. She deserves to have privacy."
Reid walked up to his co-workers who were gathered together. "What's going on, do we have a case?"
They all looked at him. "Reid, do you know where JJ went?" Hotch asked him.
"No…should I?" he asked, confused. "Is something wrong?"
"No. JJ had to take care of some things. She'll be back, like she said." Hotch said, basically letting the others no the conversation was over. "Get back to work."
He walked back to his office, trying to decide whether he was making the right decision by not finding out where JJ was going. She had been through a lot the past couple months, but she was doing better, or so he thought. He picked up his office phone and dialed her cell phone. It went to voicemail. Leaving a message telling her to call him he hung up the phone and sat down at his desk.
"JJ." The doctor greeted, walking into the exam room. " What can I do for you today?"
"I… I think I'm pregnant." JJ whispered. "I need to know for sure."
" Ok, well we can take some blood, and I can let you know by the end of the day. Why do you assume you are?" Her friend asked her, wondering why JJ didn't seem to thrilled about it.
"I've been sick lately, in the mornings, tired, and I missed my period." JJ answered her.
"Well we can take blood to double check but I would bet my next paycheck you are. Congratulations!" the doctor announced, but stopped short when she saw JJ's facial expression. "Is it not a good thing?"
JJ had gotten pale, and looked like she was going to pass out. " I was raped, this is the outcome."
"Oh my god! JJ what happened? Did you report it?"
"I was undercover for a case, the guy was shot and killed." JJ explained. " I told my boss, and its documented in the hospital report."
" I'm sorry. I know that doesn't help but I truly am. Are you doing ok?"
"Well this is a definite shock. I mean I didn't even think about this being a possibility. And when I got sick I just assumed it was the nightmares and lack of sleep. Then I missed my period and realized what it could be. Somehow I just knew, so I took a pregnancy test this morning, it was positive so I called and set up an appointment."
The doctor looked at JJ seriously. " Jennifer, you know there's always the option of-"
JJ held up her hand, shaking her head. "No! That's not an option for me. I couldn't do that. This baby-" JJ said pointing to her stomach, " didn't ask for this to happen to me. I couldn't do that. It may have been created badly, but it's still my baby."
"Calm down Jen. I had to give you the option." the doctor reached in a drawer and pulled out a paper. She scribbled something down and looked at JJ. " You said the attack was 6 weeks ago?" JJ nodded.
"Well if you have time I can do an ultrasound today. We can confirm it and you can see your baby."
JJ pulled out her phone and saw 4 missed calls. Two from Hotch, one from Emily and one from…Will? "Uhh well I might have to reschedule. My boss has called me a few times, we probably have a case…"
"Ok well call me later to set up an appointment. If possible in the next week. Here is a prescription for prenatal vitamins you need to take, and try to take it easy at work." she handed her a slip of paper, and a business card. "Call me if you need anything, no matter the time."
JJ thanked her again and left, wondering why Will would be calling her. They had talked one time since he left the hospital, the day she came home. She had told him again that she wasn't leaving, harsh words were exchanged and he packed up his stuff and left. Moving back to New Orleans.
She put her phone in her bag and tossed it all to the passenger seat, climbing into the car to head back to work.
