Hey there! I know I know, it's been forever and a day, my bad. Real life got in the way and my muse left me for a while. Fortunately the little minx came back to me! I think that's all...*looks around* yep, that is all.

Read, REVIEW(hint hint) and enjoy!
"Emily Prentiss what do you think you're doing?" Emily cringes as JJ's voice makes it way to her room from where JJ is standing out in the hall. Emily is being released today and all she wants to do is leave, but there's still some last minute paperwork that JJ is taking care of before they can go.
Emily turns and gives JJ a sheepish smile "Uh, I was hoping that I could leave now..."
"Not until this paperwork is done you're not. Now sit back down and wait for me to come and help you." JJ has that don't-argue-with-me tone and a glare to match. Huffing, Emily sits back down on the bed and pouts. JJ chuckles and finishes up the remaining paperwork.
A few minutes later she enters Emily's room and finds that she's still sitting in the exact same position with that funny pout on her face.
"Stubborn little thing, aren't you?" JJ asks with a grin. Emily looks up and sticks her tongue out at the blonde.
"Can we please go now? You know how much I hate hospitals."
"Yes I do indeed, although, you never have told me why" JJ responds. She sees Emily pause slightly before getting up slowly.
"Maybe someday Jajye, but for now, let's just say I really don't like them and keep it at that." The tone in her voice tells JJ not to press the matter.
"Someday it is." she says with a nod. "Now let's get out of here" taking Emily's bag in one hand she leads the brunette out, placing her other hand on the small of the woman's back.
"Em, Em wake up, we're home" JJ feels something strange in her chest when she says this, but pushes it to the back of her mind when she sees Emily stir.
"Hm?" Emily says as she yawns. JJ chuckles "I said we're home"
Emily looks out the window "Oh, I guess we are."
They get out and walk up to Emily's condo. Once inside, JJ places both of their bags on the floor next to the closet. Emily wrinkles her brow in confusion.
"Why did you bring your bag?"
"Because I'm staying with you for a few days until you're better." JJ says matter-of-factly.
"Jen you really don't need to do that, I'm okay." Emily tells her, but the blonde merely shakes her head.
"Nope. I'm staying with you and that's that."
Emily sighs heavily and rolls her eyes, accepting defeat. JJ laughs and walks into the kitchen.
"Do you want me to make some lunch?" JJ asks from the kitchen.
"Sure, let me just-"
JJ hears a gasp of pain and rushes into the hall. She finds Emily on her knees, cradling her arm to her chest. Her eyes are closed tightly and she's extremely pale. JJ kneels down beside her.
"What's wrong? What happened?" JJ asks frantically. Emily clutches her arm a little tighter and bites her lip.
"Em, c'mon talk to me." JJ pleads.
"I'm okay" Emily gasps. She takes a few deep breaths and slowly releases her arm. "I'm okay" she repeats, her voice not all that convincing.
"What happened?"
"I forgot I'm not supposed to pick things up, she nods towards her bag." She says.
"Nice Em, I told you not to pick anything up!" JJ scolds the brunette, who smiles at her, but it turns into a grimace as another wave of pain washes through her body. JJ puts her arm around the older woman's shoulders and guides her into the living room.
"Okay, just sit down and relax and I'll get you your pain meds."
Emily only nods in response.
JJ hurries into the kitchen and grabs the bottle of pain medication from her bag, then gets a glass of water. Entering the living room she finds Emily sitting quietly on the couch with her head tipped back.
"Here ya go" JJ holds her hand out for the older woman to take the pills, which she does albeit slightly reluctantly. Swallowing them with a gulp of water Emily sighs and lays her head back again. Jennifer stares at her a moment before placing a hand on the other woman's arm and asking "You okay?"
Emily's eyes open and she turns slowly until she's facing JJ partially. Giving the blonde a small smile she nods her head. "Yeah, just a little tired is all. Enough about me though, how have you been? It feels like forever since we've talked."
Looking down as she sighed, JJ ran a hand through her sunshine locks, "yeah that's mainly my fault. I've had a lot going on recently."
"Is everything okay? Are you and Will alright?" Emily asked, concern etching into her brow.
It was the hesitation that gave the blonde away. Scooting closer to Jennifer, the brunette covered the other woman's hand with her own. "You don't have to tell me, but I'm always here for you Jayje."
Closing her eyes tightly, JJ took a deep breath. "Will and I broke up." She looked back up as Emily's jaw dropped and a shocked look graced her face.
