Enjoy...

"Agent Jereau." JJ said as she answered her phone.

"JJ! Oh my god, I'm so sorry. The car came out of nowhere. So much blood." Angie cried into the phone. She was near hysterics and JJ was having a hard time following her.

"Mom you need to slow down, what are you talking about?"

"The car came out of no where. They ran the red light and hit us in the side.." Angie managed to get out before more tears fell.

"Are you okay? What about AJ?" JJ asked as she began to panic.

"I' m fine but AJ..." More tears began to fall.

"MOM!" JJ yelled into the phone. "I need you to focus. What's wrong with AJ?"

"I don't know. We're at the hospital. There was so much blood." JJ thought she was going to be sick.

"What hospital?" Angie didn't answer. "MOM, WHAT HOSPITAL?" JJ yelled.

"American General. I told them to bring us here because of Andy. He's in there with her now."

"Okay, I'm on my way." JJ closed her phone and grabbed her keys. On the way out of her office she dialed Emily but it went straight to voice mail. "Damn it!" JJ mumbled as she reached the elevator.

Once she was in the parking lot she tried Emily again but again it went straight to voice, so she called Garcia.

"This is Garcia, FBI Extro..." JJ cut her off.

"Garcia, it's JJ. Do you know where Emily is?" Garcia could hear the fear in JJ's voice.

"They're in St. Louis. Why?"

"She is not answering her phone. I need you to find her and tell her to get home." JJ said as she pulled out of the parking lot and sped towards the hospital.

"What's wrong?" Garcia asked.

"Mom and AJ were in a car accident. Mom is hysterical but she said that AJ was covered in blood. I'm on my way there now, but I need you to find Emily."

"Oh my god." Garcia gasped. "Of course. I'll get her. I promise."

"Thanks, I'll call you when I know something." JJ hung up the phone and prayed that AJ was alright.

"Hey baby girl, what do you have for us?" Morgan asked as he answered his phone.

"Morgan, where's Emily?" Garcia asked quickly.

"She is right here beside me, why?" Morgan asked confused looking at Emily.

"JJ's been trying to get a hold of her." Morgan slid Emily's phone off of her belt and checked. Sure enough the battery was dead. "Her battery is dead, what did JJ want?" Emily, who was starting to get nervous, immediately paled at the mention of JJ's name.

"I don't know any details, but Mrs. J and AJ were in a car accident. Mrs. J is okay but JJ said something about AJ covered in blood. Emily needs to get home, now!" Garcia quickly explained.

"Oh my god!" Morgan gasped. "She'll be on the first plane back." Now Emily was in a full blown panic. "What hospital?"

"JJ didn't say, but I would assume American General because of Andy. I'll find out. Just get her home. JJ is totally freaking out."

"Call me as soon as you know anything." Morgan closed his phone and turned his attention to Emily and he could see the fear in her eyes. By now Hotch and the rest of the team was gathered around him, curious as to what was happening.

"Morgan?" Emily asked quietly.

"Angie and AJ were in a car accident." Emily suddenly felt lightheaded and Hotch led her to the couch. "Angie is okay but JJ didn't know about AJ. She is on her way to the hospital now."

"American General?" Amy asked.

"I think so."

"That's good." Reid replied.

"Hotch I've got to go." Emily said as she jumped up from the couch.

"Of course. Morgan you go with her. We can cover things here. Call us the moment you know something." Hotch patted Morgan on the back and gave Emily a quick hug. "I'm sure she is going to be fine." Emily nodded and then her and Morgan left the police station.

JJ made it to the hospital in record time and found her mom and dad in the waiting room.

"Have they said anything yet?" JJ asked as she hugged her mom.

"No, nothing yet." Tom replied.

"I'm so sorry sweetheart."

"This is not your fault mom. I'm just glad your okay." JJ gave a weak smile before she sat down between them.

"Did you get a hold of Emily?" Tom asked.

"No, but Garcia did. She and Morgan are on their way back from St. Louis." JJ closed her eyes and sighed. "They should be here in a couple..."

"JJ?" Andy asked as he walked into the room.

"How is she Andy? Is she okay?" JJ asked as she jumped up.

"He has a broken arm but it should heal fine without any complication. However, her head wound is very serious. We are taking her to surgery. She must have hit her head during the wreck. She has a considerable amount a swelling that we need to take care of to prevent any brain damage." JJ felt herself go weak at the knees and Andy lunged forward to catch her. "Whoa there JJ. Why don't you sit down." Andy led JJ over to the chairs.

"Is she going to be okay?" JJ asked with tears in her eyes.

"It is too early to say. I'm sorry JJ I wish I had better news. I will come find you when are done with the surgery." Andy turned and hurried out of the room and Angie pulled JJ into her arms and hugged her daughter with all she had as the tear streamed down JJ's face.

Four hours later, a frantic Emily and Morgan were running into the hospital.

"This way Emily, Garcia said that JJ was in the surgery waiting room." That was all Garcia had told them because that was all JJ could get out before the tears over took her again. Morgan and Emily ran up the steps to the third floor where they found Tom, Angie and JJ sitting in the waiting room.

"JJ!" Emily yelled as soon as she saw JJ's face.

"Oh my god Emily." JJ threw her arms around Emily's neck and instantly began to cry again. "She's still in surgery. I'm so scared!"

"It's going to be okay, AJ is strong." Emily replied trying to convince herself more than JJ. "How long did they say it would take?" JJ shrugged her shoulders.

"Andy didn't say. He just said that he would find us when it was over. He said that if they didn't relief the pressure she could end up with permanent brain damage." Emily felt a tear roll down her cheek.

"JJ, Emily?" Andy said as he walked into the waiting room.

"Is she okay?"

"We were able to relief the pressure, but we will not know for a couple days if she will have any longer terms effects of the swelling. We will run a CT scan in the morning, that will give us a better idea of what we are dealing with."

"Can we see her?" Emily asked.

"I will have someone find you when she is out of recovery. She will be in the PICU until she wakes up."

"How long will that be?" Morgan asked.

"It could be tonight, it could be next week or..."

"Never." JJ said quietly.

"You need to stay positive JJ. AJ is a strong, very active little girl. All the odds are in her favor."

"See the odds are in her favor." Morgan repeated. "My god daughter is not going any where." Morgan said as he pulled JJ into a hug. He could fell the tears soaking through his shirt. Emily just stood there in silence. The scene before her was heartbreaking. JJ looked completely broken. If AJ didn't make it, she didn't know how any of them would survive.

For the next three days, Emily and JJ kept a constant vigil by their daughter's bed. Not even JJ's parents could make them leave. The CT Scan was clear, which was good, so now Andy said that it was just a waiting game. With as severe as her concussion was there was no way to know when or if she would wake up. While Emily and JJ never left AJ's room, JJ's parents and the Ambassador never the left the waiting room. The team took shifts, with at least one person there at all times. Morgan, however, was the first to arrive and the last to leave every day, while Garcia stayed at home taking care of Jacob and now three month old Alexa.

It was early on the fourth day when Emily and JJ woke to the sound of AJ's voice.

"Mom?"

"Oh my god sweetie! You're awake." JJ cried as she grabbed AJ's hand, while Emily stood on the other side gently rubbing the small fingers that stuck out below her cast.

"How are you feeling?" Emily asked wiping a few strand hairs away.

"What happened?"

"You were in a car accident." JJ answered.

"Grandma! Is she..."

"She is fine pumpkin." Emily smiled. "But you had us really worried."

"Uncle Andy says your going to be just fine. You have a broken arm and they had to do surgery to relief the pressure on your brain, but you are going to be just fine"

"Brain surgery?" AJ ask in shock.

"Yeah, but your going to be just fine." Emily smiled running thumb across her daughter's cheek.

And fine she was. Much to everyones surprise she was released from the hospital and back to school within three weeks.

"Where's AJ?" Emily asked after she got home from work one night.

"At Kelly's. She wanted to spend the night."

"Are you sure that a good idea, I mean its only been a month?" Emily asked with concern on her face.

"Honey, AJ is fine."

"I know, it's just... I worry okay."

"I know you do. I do too, but we can't keep her in a plastic bubble." Emily raised her eyebrows as if actually considering the plastic bubble idea. "Oh stop it"

"Okay, okay." Emily smiled. "I just don't want to get that phone call again." JJ raised her eyebrows this time. "Okay, I don't want Morgan to get that phone call again. How many times do you want me to say that I'm sorry about my cell phone battery, geez?" Emily teased.

"It was probably for the best anyways. I had a hard enough time talking to Garcia; I doubt you would have gotten anything but tears." JJ sighed. "I can't believe how close we came to losing her." JJ said as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Hey come here." Emily said pulling JJ close. "She's fine. You said so yourself. It's going to take a lot more than some little car accident to stop her. She too much like you."

"Funny." JJ teased as she wrapped her arms around Emily's waist.

"Well it's true. You have been shot, kidnapped, beaten and blown up and yet you're still here. I think AJ inherited your super human ability to survive anything."

"Thank god for that." JJ smiled and pulled Emily into a kiss.
