Chapter 10.

JJ and The Ambassador looked at each other in horror, and JJ took off running to the room, gun in hand. Upon arriving, she saw Emily thrashing in the bed and Hotch standing just inside the door looking helpless. JJ quickly put her gun back in the holster and rushed to Emily's bed.

"Emily? Em, wake up!", said JJ. Emily didn't wake,and she continued to thrash around. JJ placed her hands on her shoulders and said again,

"Emily, Honey, wake up. You're having a nightmare." Suddenly, Emily jolted awake and stared at JJ, not quite focusing yet. An instant later, she collapsed in JJ's arms, sobbing. JJ held her and stroked her hair. She was shocked at this uncharacteristic reaction from Emily. She didn't let that stop her from comforting the woman the best that she could.

"It's ok. It was Just a dream. You're ok. I'm here. You're safe." , JJ said soothingly. The Ambassador, like Hotch, looked on helplessly. She wished she could comfort her daughter now. Unfortunately their relationship left a lot to be desired. Emily's mother vowed to do better and help her daughter through this time. She also vowed to be a better grandmother than she had been a mother. Hotch looked on for a few moments then left the room before Emily noticed him. He didn't want to make her even more distressed.

" Louisa!" Emily, cried out. JJ rubbed her friend's back and replied,

"She's ok. She's in her crib here at the hospital."

"He's going to hurt her. He said he's going to kill her! My baby!", Emily said, acting nearly hysterical.

"Honey. Clyde Easter is in prison. He can't hurt either one of you again.", JJ assured her. Suddenly Emily's eyes widened and she shoved away from JJ, covering her mouth with her hand. JJ knew that look. She had seen it enough times with Henry. She quickly grabbed a basin and held it in front of Emily, who proceeded to empty out the contents of her stomach. JJ held the woman's hair out of her face with one hand and rubbed her back soothingly with the other. After Emily was finished being sick, JJ carried the basin over to the sink.

After a few moments, Emily calmed down. By that time, she was alert enough to be really embarrassed by her behavior. She tried to apologize, but JJ stopped her.

"Emily, You don't have to be so strong all the time. You've just been through a horrible experience and were hurt by a man you trusted. Not to mention you are a mom now and that brings on a whole new range of emotions. Trust me, I know." Emily began to tear up again. JJ continued, looking directly into Emily's eyes.

"Em, don't ever be ashamed of how you feel. You're human like the rest of us. Remember, the team is still your family and we love you. We'll always be there for you." Emily reached for JJ's hand and gave it a squeeze.

"Thanks." , she whispered. JJ nodded and squeezed back.

"Anytime, Sister. Anytime." Emily swallowed hard and then said,

"I need to see my baby? Can I see her now?"

"I'll go see to it." , said the Ambassador who had been watching the scene silently up to that point. Then she quickly left the room. Emily groaned.

"She's been here that whole time? She saw how I behaved just now? Great."

"Em, what did I just tell you? You don't have to be embarrassed." ,said JJ.

"Maybe not around you, Jayje. My mother, however, is a different story. A Prentiss never shows weakness. She will be ashamed of me now. See how she just made the first excuse to leave the room? She couldn't even make eye contact!"

"Emily, She just needs time to learn. I have been talking to her and she regrets how she was when you were a little girl. She wants a second chance. You can't expect her to change overnight, though. You just need to give her a chance."

"Ok.", said Emily with a sigh. Just then, Ambassador Prentiss returned.

"I spoke with a nurse. She is going to bring Louisa in in just a few minutes."

"Thank you, Mother.", said Emily, feeling very awkward. When the baby was brought in, JJ said goodby to Emily and the ambassador and kissed the baby on the head. Then she left to give the family some privacy.

Out in the waiting room, JJ found her team sitting there, looking somber. The two Inspectors from Emily's new team were also there.

"What's going on, you guys?", she asked.

"I just received a call from Scotland yard.", said Inspector Mccormick.

"What's wrong?", asked JJ, tightly. Inspector Simmons replied,

"Clyde Easter was just found in his cell,dead. Apparently, he hung himself."

"Oh, my gosh." ,said JJ softly.

"What do we tell Emily?", asked Reid. JJ shook her head and said,

"Nothing, yet. She's spending time with Louisa and her mother right now. We should give them privacy."

"When should we tell her?", asked Garcia.

"We will tell her when the time's right.", Hotch said, "Now I need to get to the airport. I am going in quickly to say goodby to Emily. Rossi, when the time is right, I think you and JJ should be the ones to tell her." Rossi nodded, and Hotch headed off to Emily's room. He knocked on the door and slowly walked in.

"I apologize for interupting, but I need to head to the airport. Strauss wants me back at work tomorrow."

"Thanks for coming, Hotch.", said Emily quietly. The fear was still there but Hotch sensed that it wasn't quite as strong. That was a good sign.

"Emily, I just wanted to tell you that I hope you are back on your feet soon and if you need anything, even just to talk, don't hesitate to call." , Hotch continued. Emily gave a small smile and simply said,

"Thanks." Hotch gave her a nod and headed off down the hall." Emily's mother turned to her and said,

"If you were to start dating him, I wouldn't disapprove.", she said, slyly.

"Mother, Hotch is my former boss, We aren't going to date."

"Exactly. You're former boss. He is no longer your boss. It wouldn't be inappropriate." Emily rolled her eyes and said,

"He lives in Virginia and I live in London. It wouldn't work out. Anyway, I'm not interested in Romance right now. It's not going to happen. Please stop pushing, Mother." the ambassador shrugged and said coyly,

"I was simply stating that I wouldn't be upset if you and he got together." Emily just sighed and looked down and her baby.

Over the next week the ambassador got Louisa settled into her new home. JJ and Garcia took turns helping her with the baby girl. Rossi, Morgan and Reid also took their turns bonding with the infant. They also spent a lot of time at the hospital with Emily. Rossi and Morgan took turns being in the room with Emily along with someone else. This helped Emily become more comfortable with the men. By the end of the week things were nearly back to normal with them. The team had one more day in London. Their flight back to America would leave the next afternoon. JJ and Rossi knew they had to tell Emily about Easter. It was now or never. The two of them walked into Emily's room right after lunch. Emily smiled when she saw them.

"Hey guys! JJ, I know you guys are leaving tomorrow. I bet you'll be glad to see Will and Henry." JJ gave her a little smile and said,

"Yeah, I miss my boys." Emily sighed and said,

"I have to admit though, I've gotten used to having you guys around here. It won't be the same without you."

"We'll miss you too, Kiddo. But we're only a phone call, or video chat away."

"I know.",said Emily, then she saw the looks on their faces and said,

"Ok. Something's wrong. I can tell. What is it?" JJ sighed and said,

"Emily, there's something we need to tell you." Emily nodded and said,

"OK. What's up?"

"Emily, earlier this week, right before Hotch headed to the airport, Inspector Mccormick came to the hospital to talk to us." , began JJ.

"He said he had just received a call from Scotland Yard.",added Rossi.

"Did, Easter escape?", asked Emily,fearfully. JJ shook her head.

"Emily,", she said,"Clyde was found dead in his cell. He hung himself."

"It's over, Kiddo. It's really over.", said Rossi, gently. Emily knew though, that even though Clyde was gone forever and could never hurt her or anyone else again,It was not over for her. She looked at them and said,

"Thanks for letting me know. I need to be alone for awhile. Could you guys please leave?"

"Em,", began JJ.

"Please, Jayje." , pleaded Emily. JJ looked at her friend and knew she was serious. She nodded at Rossi and then squeezed Emily's hand.

"Ok, Em. We'll be right outside in the waiting room if you need us though. Ok?"

"We're here for you, Emily. Never forget that." ,Rossi added, kissing her on the cheek.

"I know. Thanks. I'll see you later."

When her friends were gone, Emily finally let the tears fall. She released the emotions she thought she had buried. She cried for the loss of her confidence, and for the loss of a trusted friend who had turned on her. Mostly, though, she cried out of relief. Clyde was dead and couldn't hurt her or her baby again. She could go home in a few days and get back to her life. That's what she tried to convince herself of, anyway. Deep down though, she knew things wouldn't be truly normal for her for a very long time.

Well, Emily's now releasing all the emotions she's held in for the past few days. Hopefully she will let the team help her get past this nightmare. Thanks for reading. Reviews are much appreciated. I would prefer at least five!
