A/N: WOW! Thank you all for the reviews, you all are fantastic! AND, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for my family member- things are beginning to turn towards the positive.
This story is coming to an end soon, maybe another chapter after this!
I also want to get your opinions. I want to write a new fic very soon, but need your opinions and thoughts: on what to write: I have already written a story about JJ being abducted- however, if you have ever read my profile, you know why I write these. Would anyone be interested in reading another JJ abducted story?
Thanks! And enjoy!
Derek Morgan sat in the ICU rocking chair, rocking as he watched the Cowboys/ Redskins game on the local network. Normally, he would be perched on his couch with a beer and a host of artery clogging entrees, but not today. His girl was still sick, and she needed him.
It was his shift now, it lasted eight hours, from three until eleven. Hotch would come in for the eleven till seven shift, and Reid took the seven till three shift. It worked out perfectly for all of them; and after what Reid had explained to him as JJ having ICU psychosis, they all collectively agreed not to leave her alone.
That had been two days ago, and JJ was still in the ICU. The medical staff reassured the team that JJ was improving, and would be transferred to a step down unit at anytime- they just wanted to make sure she was indeed stable.
Morgan had watched the staff come in every hour and poke JJ's fingers. They seemed so tiny to him, he was afraid the nurses might break one as they poked her and squeezed blood out. But each time, he would watch as each nurse would gently wipe away the blood and put JJ's hand back under the blanket to keep her warm.
He needed to send the staff flowers- or candy. Definitely some good candy. They deserved more than just a thank you note, and he would soon be in touch with Rossi to make sure the staff got something to show the FBI's gratitude. He had just pulled out his cell when he looked over to see JJ moving a bit.
Wanting to make sure that if JJ woke up, she wouldn't be afraid and wouldn't need to be sedated again, he walked over and took her hand in his his, rubbing it. "Jayje, open those beautiful blue eyes for me." He coxed, hoping to see her waking up.
He couldn't help but grin when she did. Her eyes slowly blinked open and Morgan readied himself for the panic that would set in.
"Morgan?" He heard her whisper and was shocked to see that for the time she seemed calm.
"Hi JJ," He said softly.
"Hi Morgan," She smiled up at him before trying to sit up.
"Hey there, easy now." He gently pushed her back down. "You've been really sick, JJ. You need to save your strength."
"So, I can't sit up?" Her voice was hoarse, but in it, he heard something he hadn't in a while now. He heard JJ, his JJ, their JJ! It was weak and tired sounding, but it was JJ's voice.
"Fair enough." He stood up and reached behind her, adjusting her pillows so they supported her. He then reached down and gently helped her to sit up, mindful of her ribs.
"Morgan, you look like hell." JJ smiled, noting his disheveled appearance.
"I always look like hell when I am in your presence, my lady." Morgan adjusted her blankets. "How are you feeling?"
JJ's smile faded. "I…" She began
"What is it JJ?" Morgan asked.
"What happened, Morgan?" Her voice had faded, and now it sounded scared. Why did it have to be him that explained this? Why couldn't it be Reid.
"JJ.." He rubbed his forehead and then realized something, she was counting on him. "JJ, what is the last thing you remember?"
She shook her head. "Not much, we were in Hawaii, coming back from a case." JJ put her hand to her side, wincing as she took in a deep breath. "My ribs hurt."
"JJ, you fell into a coma on the plane, you stopped breathing. Your ribs hurt because Reid and I gave you CPR, we didn't have a choice. You almost didn't make it JJ. We got you to the ER and they diagnosed you with diabetes. He spit the last part out.
She stared at him, processing what he had just told him, and looked away, trying to take it when he had just told her. It took a few minutes and they sat in silence for that time before JJ spoke up again a smile crossing her face. "Well, I just wanted to keep you two on your toes."
She laughed when Morgan reached over and gave her a giant bear hug. His JJ was back, and she would be just fine.
