Thank you so much for all the kind reviews! Please continue to let me know what you think :)
JJ ran her hands through her hair as she closed the bedroom door behind her and walked slowly down the stairs.
"How is she?" Sandy said softly looking up as her daughter entered their kitchen. JJ had driven them here straight after Emily was released from the hospital. Reid would be looking after Sergio and their apartment in the meantime but all she could think about was getting her girlfriend away. She needed space and time to heal so JJ had made the decision to take her away from the team, their work, their home and go to her parent's house in East Allegheny. There it was quiet, peaceful and away from everything.
"Sleeping," the blonde replied moving to get a bottle of water.
Sandy studied her daughter carefully, "How are you?"
JJ turned and looked at her Mom, "It's not about me. Nothing has happened to me."
"You are a couple, sweetheart," Sandy looked back to the living room to check JJ's dad wasn't listening, not wanting to give away JJ's secret. "You just bought her an engagement ring last week, so it is about you. I know how protective you are over her." She moved forward to look at her daughter's knuckles before pulling out a first aid kit, "Sit."
The profiler knew better than protest. Slumping in a chair she sighed loudly, "It's my job to protect her Mom."
"I know honey, just sometimes I wish you would go about it a different way," she moved to sit next to her daughter at the table taking hold of her hands. "It's bad enough when you both get hurt at work. You with that shovel, Emily in the car crash...You two give a young woman like me enough heart attacks without you getting in fights all the time."
JJ scoffed, "Not all the time!"
Sandy raised an eyebrow at her.
"Not all the time. Okay so within the last week three times now but..."
"You need to learn to control your green monster darling girl," Sandy laughed.
"First of all, leaving out the bar incident, the second time was an unsub!" the blonde pointed at her Mom, "Okay Emily went in the interrogation room to flirt with him and get him to try and talk to her but he should not have tried to grab her. I simply went in and put him in his place," she stated with a firm nod wincing as her Mom washed her knuckles with antiseptic.
"You got handcuffed again!" her Mom exclaimed looking at her wrists the obvious marks from where the cuffs had rubbed. She knew exactly what the BAU teams' tactics where when it came to stopping her daughter.
Her dad walked in and laughed.
"Shhh you, it's not funny! Your daughter needs to learn to control her temper!" she berated her husband.
"Jenny likes to protect what is hers. I was exactly the same with you," Harry grinned that cheeky Jareau smile, grabbed a juice out the fridge before leaving them to finish their talk.
"I know...That's what I'm worried about!" Sandy called back rolling her eyes before focusing her attention back on her daughter. "Emily's a big girl, honey. I'm pretty sure she doesn't need you swooping in and fighting off flirty men or unsubs even after what happened...I'm sure you're team had it under control."
"I didn't punch the unsub," JJ muttered.
Sandy looked up at her daughter and then in realisation, "Oh..."
"I-I just saw red you know," the profiler sighed, "I'm still seeing red, one of the reasons I brought us here...I just needed to..."
"Get away."
The blonde nodded, "I know he didn't...He didn't rape her," the words tasting like dirt in her mouth, "But it was still against her wishes...But then she accepted that and knew it was going to happen...I-It's just such a mess. My head is a mess and God knows how she feels the pain killers just knock her out at the moment. I was angry and in shock...Still am I think...But now it's settling down I just think of someone else touching her," she whispered tears pouring down her cheeks. "I don't want to leave, I'm not put off by her like some partners are once it happens...Not that they really choose to feel like that...I love her, nothing changes that." She looked at her Mom, "Just he's her best friend, my family, I work with him...Just if we get back to how we all were together...I don't know how I can just lie back and be around him, see him around her and be okay with the fact that he...that he's touched her," she cried out. He has been inside her, she thought.
Sandy quickly leaned forward and engulfed her crying daughter in a hug. "It will be tough," she kissed her on the head, "But you're strong and true to your heart. You're my baby girl and I know whatever happens you'll get through it...All of you." She held her rubbing her back gently as she let it all out, whispering reassuring words into her ear.
JJ pulled back and wiped her face with a tissue her Mom handed to her, "I should get back. I've left her too long already!"
"Darling how about you have something to eat and drink before going back up. I know..."
The profiler shook her head, "No Mom, I have to be there. Even if she's sleeping, I just...I need to be there."
"Okay," Sandy nodded, "I'll bring you both something up."
"Thank you," JJ smiled kissing her Mom on the cheek, "Love you Mom."
"Love you too sweetheart," she said softly getting up to pack away the first aid kit so she could start cooking as her daughter headed back upstairs.
The blonde slowly opened the door to her childhood bedroom relieved to see her girlfriend still sleeping peacefully; the time she had been away going unnoticed. She moved carefully to get back on the bed looking down at her bruised and beaten girl fast asleep. Slowly she lay down on her side next to her and reached forward gently running her hands through her hair. Even though she was hurt and pale she looked stunning. It always amazed JJ just how lucky she was and she was perfectly content just to lay there and watch over her love.
Emily smiled as someone stroked their hands sensually up her torso. She squirmed feeling the pleasure building as lips slowly kissed up her body towards her chest. Hands gently massaged her breasts paying attention to them in all the ways she loved. God I love this woman, she thought smiling widely opening her eyes slowly to look into those blue ones she was so in love with. But crying out when instead she came face to face with Morgan. He looked scared, broken, guilt ridden.
"I'm so sorry," he cried out as the room darkened and she was transported back to that dark, dark prison.
She remembered she had told him it was okay while sobbing. "Just do it," she whispered out fearfully trying to stay strong to prepare herself.
"You normally speak like this during sex?" Mark sneered out enjoying every minute of their pain. "Or perhaps you do...Just do it...Demanding...Forceful...I like it," he smirked. "Stop and she dies," he demanded angrily shooting the ceiling making them both jump.
"Go somewhere else please," Morgan said tearfully to her. "Close your eyes and imagine something else. Anything else but this."
She nodded at him through silent hitched breaths from all the sobbing. She closed her eyes and cried out throwing her eyes open as she felt Morgan enter her.
"Emily," JJ said moving to hold her shaking girlfriend, "It was just a dream baby. You're safe. You're here with me." She comforted her gently in all the ways she had learnt to when she had a nightmare. It was uncommon, they all had them, she would be worried doing the job they did if they didn't. Though she knew this nightmare would be like no other she had.
"I-I w-was back t-there. H-He...H-He...," she cried into her girlfriend gripping onto her with everything she had.
The blonde tried not to think about her earlier worries, about Morgan, she just needed to focus on Emily. "Darling," she whispered softly peppering her face with kisses, "It was a nightmare. You're safe. I'm right here." She noticed the brunette's breath was panicked, "Deep breaths, baby, deep breaths. That's it," she said lovingly as Emily tried to regain her breathing.
"I-I...I...," Emily took a deep breath, "I need a s-shower...please. I-I..."
"Okay," JJ said moving to help the shaking brunette up off the bed through to the en suite bathroom, "Okay honey." She knew it was needed, despite the fact this would be her 6th shower in just over a day as long as her girlfriend didn't rub her body raw she had no objections what so ever.
"H-Help me please," the brunette said quietly. She could do it perfectly well herself though any movement would be painful. It was a test and she hoped to God JJ passed it. She knew she wasn't thinking straight and the blonde loved her but she just had to see, to make sure her fears weren't true. She knew how her girlfriend would usually act, but would she now?
JJ nodded and moved to carefully undo the long nightshirt Emily had put on that her she had bought her from a local shop next to the hospital. She looked cute in it as she knew she would. Slowly she undid the buttons to reveal her bruised but very naked body. She immediately felt herself get flushed. She couldn't help it. Emily had the best body ever, lanky but toned and shapely. Perfect curves and ample breasts, which she knew was so wrong to get lost in thoughts of right now. But God she had a thing for her breasts which were now very much out. She licked her licks subconsciously and tried to focus on what she was doing; the button she was currently working on not happening. She looked up briefly to check her girlfriend and did a double take when she saw she was actually smiling. It was small but it was still a smile. "And why do I get the pleasure of seeing that beautiful, beautiful smile?" she smiled back.
"You," the brunette hiccupped the last remnants of her tears, "You're doing your face!"
The blonde scanned Emily's face for any sign that she should go or it she was upset she had been caught.
"Y-You see s-something y-you like?" she stuttered out nervously.
"Hell yeah!" JJ exclaimed without blinking or thinking, making the brunette laugh. She's laughing. Her own eyes tearing up and the beautiful sound that echoed in the bathroom.
Emily rolled her eyes teasingly some of her fear ebbing away every second; her fear that JJ would never be able to touch her again. That her girlfriend would never see her body the same as she did before. That she would be tainted, marked and they would never get back to how they were. Morgan had touched her in places that were reserved for Jennifer Jareau, and Jennifer Jareau only and she was terrified she would lose her because of it.
The blonde undid the last button triumphantly and grinned. She wolf whistled and smirked, "So fucking hot!"
"R-Really?" the brunette said uncertainly looking at her girlfriend shy and afraid. She was used to this from her girlfriend, but still a part of her thought maybe it was just to make her happy.
JJ moved into her body, leaned forward and kissed her. She pulled back and smiled, "Really," she said softly her eyes filled with truth, love and lust.
Emily laughed and cried at the same time in relief as the blonde moved into hold her. "I love you Emily and I love your body, very much so," she kissed her shoulder. "And when you are ready I will be right there with you," she whispered softly to her, "I'll tell you a thousand times every second of every day if I have to...I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere." She repeated it over and over again and she helped Emily into the shower so she could wash her nightmare away.
