Once the tube was taken out and Emily was stabilised JJ felt a little more optimistic.

"It's going to take a while to get her back on top form, but she will. Her tests where strong," the Doctor said kindly. "She can move a little and blink...the rest will catch up over time. I'll give you some alone time," he said leaving the room.

JJ looked over at the brunette and moved slowly to her side. Brown eyes stared back at her. "Welcome back," the blonde whispered softly, "You scared me Emily Elizabeth Prentiss. I think I've aged about thirty years in the space of a couple of weeks." She noticed Emily moving her hand a little and took hold of it. "How about we do two blinks for yes and one for no?"

Emily blinked twice.

"Do you feel okay? Can I get you anything?"

Emily blinked three times.

"Three?" JJ looked confused. "Oh sorry two questions," she laughed nervously.

"The babies are ok," JJ reached to show Emily their latest scan in the frame, "See?"

Emily looked at it, her eyes filled with tears. Suddenly she gasped and her eyes opened wider in shock.

"What is it? Are you hurt?" the blonde panicked.

Emily blinked once.

"What is it? I mean..." she trailed off noticing the brunette's stomach moving slightly. "You can feel them?" she said softly.

Emily blinked twice as tears ran down her cheeks.

JJ smiled the brightest smile and placed their hands on her stomach together, "They are having a party in there huh? They are happy their Mama is awake!"

John had avoided Emily ever since he heard she had woken up sending other doctors to keep an eye on the babies. He wanted to give her time to recover enough to handle him in the room. He didn't want to be blamed for making her condition worse. He took a deep breath as he knocked on her door and entered.

Emily laughed tiredly, "I know you said you would be quick but..." she looked up from her baby book and froze. "John?"

He waved awkwardly and moved into the room shutting the door behind him.

"You're a doctor?" Emily asked her voice full of shock and confusion.

John nodded and moved slowly to the side of the bed. He perched on the edge, "Yes, Dr. John Cooley, Paediatric and Neonatal department. I've been you're babies primary physician."

She just stared at him trying to let her brain catch up, "You're...you're my babies' doctor but..." she suddenly felt so tired again. When Garcia had said set her up with Dr Cooley, she thought it was a coincidence. Was he the same guy? The same guy PG had said was looking for a wife and to start a family?

"I didn't want to interfere with your recovery so I sent other doctors in my place. But I treated you when you came in and before you woke up. I did that ultrasound," John smiled at the frame next to her bed, "I'm quite impressed at my foetal photography," he joked.

"You captured them well," Emily smiled at him. "I didn't know my insides could look so pretty."

"Well its easy when the subject is so pretty," John smiled back at her, "Pregnancy really does suit you."

The brunette felt her mouth become dry, "John," she said in a warning tone.

"I'm sorry, truly I am, for being so...well insert every swear word and insulting phrase...to describe my behaviour when we were younger. I was scared and stupid so I bailed...I should have been there for you and I wasn't. We should have had our baby. I wish we'd had our baby," he said softly every word he said obviously open and honest. "I wanted to say that to you," he paused at the memories, "When we last met but with everything...there was never a right time." He cautiously moved his hand to stroke his fingertips gently across her t-shirt clad protruding stomach. "I can't help look at you and think I could've had this with you," he said sadly.

"I...I don't know what you want me to say," Emily whispered. She still got tired extremely quickly and suddenly felt like she could sleep for days.

"That maybe I have a chance," John said determinedly, "That maybe we can still have what we lost. You know I'm good with kids now, and we have a connection...even you can't deny that!"

"There will always be some form of connection...," Emily started before she was taken surprise by a pair of lips on hers; his lips on hers.

The kiss!...JJ to see or not to see: What's your vote?
