A/N: Sorry about the cliffhanger! This story will probably be filled with them in the next few chapters. All errors are mine. Microsoft Word isn't doing a very good grammar check and I can only do what I do! Enjoy?! It's not quite as a rough chapter as the previous one but definitely shows the effect of violence.
"JJ, wake up sweetheart, wake up. Come on its Emily, it's going to be ok," Emily tried to gently shake a passed out JJ awake. The doctor checked her vitals and realized what the problem was.
"Her blood pressure is too high. Combined with the beating she has received and the shock the pregnancy it has skyrocketed. I'm going to hook her up to an IV of fluids and something for the pain and get her into a room. I suggest you stay with her," the doctor suggested as Emily let him work. She surveyed JJ's body but for once it wasn't because of the same reason. Emily gasped and felt her heart break in places she thought could be broken anymore when she saw the severity of some of the bruises. JJ's back, arms, and face were covered in various bruises. The ones on her back and arms were a mixture of new and old Emily noticed as the doctor maneuvered around an unconscious JJ and lifted her into a mobile bed. Emily only let go of JJ's hand when it was physically impossible to hold on to it.
The doctor got JJ to a private room and told Emily what to expect when JJ finally woke up.
"She may be a little confused and may not remember why she fainted. Let her know softly. I assume you two are very close and she needs to know that you are going to be here for her. The other lady that brought her in, do you want her to come in too?" the doctor asked referring to Garcia. Emily had almost forgotten about Garcia and wondered if the blonde had stayed to wait. Of course she had, they are best friends. Garcia wouldn't just leave. The little voice in Emily's head told her that Garcia would stick by JJ until her dying day because they were best friends.
"Yeah that's fine. Thank you doctor," Emily said before stroking a strand of JJ's hair out of her face and was pained to see the two black eyes that had newly formed and the various cuts scattered over her. Any other time, this would have been the doing of the unsub but it had been the one person that Emily had pushed JJ towards. Emily knew she couldn't beat herself up about what had happened because JJ had willingly going towards Will but the masochistic side of Emily blamed herself for this and felt the pain tenfold. She sat down in the chair next to JJ's bed and put her head down as she held onto JJ's hand.
"How's my girl doing?" Garcia said quietly as she entered the room.
"She passed out. The doctor said she should be waking up as soon as they get her blood pressure down. Looks like I'm in it for the long run. He doesn't think with her condition that she should be alone for awhile and with Will still out there, I don't think so either," Emily explained with thinking that Garcia didn't know exactly what JJ's condition was.
"Why is her blood pressure high? What condition Emily?" Garcia asked with her voice laced with concern.
"Oh Garcia I'm sorry! I forgot you don't know. She'll need to tell you herself, so don't tell her I clued you in on it. They ran some tests and she had thrown up right before hand. JJ's pregnant Garcia," Emily said wiping the stress away from her face. She knew that right now was not the time to give in her to pain and she needed to be strong. She saw the look of shock on Garcia's face.
Emily felt the hand that was in her hand flex a little bit and she immediately turned her attention to the blonde in the hospital bed that lay unconscious. Emily saw her eyes flutter a little bit.
"Jayj, come on wake up sweetheart, it's Emily. Please wake up," Emily begged. At this point, she didn't care about the terms of endearment or about calling JJ, Jennifer. All she wanted was to see her blue eyes open; she could deal with the rest of their pain later. JJ's eyes opened briefly, blinking fast as she came to and saw her surroundings.
"Emily, what happened?" JJ rasped out. Pain shot throughout her entire body and she felt a wave of nausea.
"Do you remember what happened before you blacked out?" Emily asked not knowing where to begin.
"I know why I'm here, can't forget that but why did I black out?" JJ asked forgetting the news that the doctor had so suddenly sprung on her.
"The doctor had come back with your tests results and JJ, look at me. You're pregnant. They want to keep you overnight to run more tests, make sure the baby is ok with all the stress. Your blood pressure went up and you passed out. Look at me Jennifer. I'm not leaving. I'm going to stay here for as long as you are in here and then the doctor thinks you are going to need to have someone stay with you for awhile make you keep your blood pressure down," Emily explained never losing eye contact with JJ. The doctor had put her on something to lower and keep her blood pressure down but Emily didn't want to chance JJ passing out on her again.
"You don't have to Emily. I will be fine. I couldn't expect you to do that, not with how I've been lately. I've been a horrible friend," JJ tried to let Emily know that she was free to go, free of the pain that she knew she had caused Emily.
"Don't even think about that Jennifer. I'm right here and I'm going to be here for as long as you want me to be. Until we find Will, you need someone to be with you. Plus you are going to be in some pain for a little while your body recuperates. JJ you need to tell us though just what happened. Not right now, but we need to know," Emily told her as she brushed a hair out of JJ's eyes and kissed the blonde on the forehead. She mentally berated herself for doing it but JJ immediately felt a shiver and missed the contact when it was gone.
JJ was pregnant, Emily knew that this meant that JJ would have a lasting reminder of Will and would be more inclined to keep Will in her life and Emily thought this would be bad for her in the end but right now, right here, JJ needed her. JJ's mind was running circles around herself. A baby? There goes my chances with Emily. She doesn't deserve this. JJ thought to herself. If only she knew Emily's thoughts at that same time.
