Chapter Ten
It has been an hour since Emily got back from the scans. JJ and Emily are sitting around in the room having fun just a little before lunch. JJ has been giving Emily a hard time about all the Dr Who knowledge she acquired the night before since getting back from the scans.
"When is knowing Rose Tyler looking into the TARDIS and sending herself the message "BAD WOLF" through time and space ever going to be relevant for anything in the real world Em?" JJ asks with a laugh.
"Relevant, maybe not. But it's a big part of Rose's story. And it's a great story." Emily starts.
"Yeah yeah. I don't need to hear this all again. I got the full rundown last night remember." JJ replies with a smile.
Just as she is about to keep going, Dr Teague knocks and comes in. "Any news Doc?" Emily asks.
"Unfortunately, We just had a couple of car crash victims come in and I'm needed in surgery. I was on my way to start looking at you scans. I just wanted to come by and let you know that as soon as I'm done in the surgery and I get cleaned up I will look at your scans." Dr Teague explains to them.
"Of course" Emily said with a chuckle. "No worries Doc. You go and do what you got to do. Not like I'm going anywhere."
"Alright, I will be back as quick as I can so we can hopefully get you checked out and headed home." Dr Teague said. With that, he leaves.
"Well, didn't figure I would get lucky enough to get out of here early." Emily said with disappointment.
"Don't worry about it Em. We will get you out of here and home as soon as we can." JJ tells her. "How about we get out of here for a while and go downstairs to get something to eat?"
"Sure, that sounds good." Emm replied.
A few hours later they are back in Emily's room they are arguing about Dr Who again. "Emily, I never said Tom Baker wasn't the best Doctor. I said I've not seen enough, and let's be honest, the first episodes I've watch were the ones we watch last night, to make a decision on who is best." JJ tells Emily.
"You mean to tell me you haven't watched any of the old series when you were younger? I remember seeing them on a lot throughout high school and college." Emily said.
"Well, when you were in high school and college, I was on a soccer field when I wasn't in class or asleep. I didn't give myself time to watch TV. Soccer was my ticket into college and out of the small town life that just wasn't for me. And then from there, it took me to attending a guest reading by Rossi that lead me to joining the academy and striving to join the BAU. I never gave myself any time. I was alway driven." JJ explains. "I honestly didn't know who or what Dr who was until four or five years ago. But I never got into it."
"Well I think if you gave the classic Dr Who a chance you might like it." Emily starts.
"If I may.." They are interrupted by Dr Teague walking in.
"Go ahead." JJ said.
"Start with which ever you do enjoy, be it the current ones on, or the classics. I myself am a Tom Baker fan, though Tennant is giving him a damn good run for his money. So if you likes the episodes you were watching last night, then start there." Dr Teague states.
"That I might be able to do. But" before Emily can interrupt her "I will give the classics their shot as well...eventually. With a kid that just recently turned one it will be difficult."
"Good. Now that it seems that's settled...can I do what I came in here for?" Dr Teague asked.
"Sure thing Doc. But just for the record, it's not settled." Emily states. As she looks over at JJ, she see JJ give her a smirk. Emily just winks back at her, then turns back to the doctor.
"Alright. I've got good news and bad news." Emily groans. "Good news is, as soon as I leave here I will start your discharge papers."
"YES! It's about damn time." Emily almost cheered. "I guess the bad news can't be that bad. So what is it?"
"The bad news is, I'm going to put you on a no field duty restriction for the next month." Dr Teague tells her.
"That's not so bad. We are off rotation for two weeks, so it's just a couple of weeks you can't be in the field." JJ said. "Looks like you will be helping me at the precincts."
"If you're off rotation for two weeks then the no flying for a week is no big deal." Dr Teague said.
"Is there any way to keep the flying restriction on for the whole month that way I'm not tortured at the precincts helping her?" asked Emily with a smile as she points her thumb in JJ's direction.
"Hey now, you know all I have to do is say the word and Pen will make your month at Quantico even worse than being in precincts with me." JJ states.
"Yeah, your probably right. Um, never mind on that extended flight restriction." Emily said with a smile. "Anything else?"
The doctor nods with a grin. "I don't want you staying by yourself for the next few days. Do you have someone who can stay with you or someone you can stay with?" Dr Teague asks.
"You can stay with me. Will is in the process of getting his stuff out of the house and the guest bedroom is open. You can use that if you want." JJ tosses out there as an option.
"Can I bring Dr Who?" Emily asks with a grin.
"Ever the smartass." JJ said. Emily's grin gets even bigger. "Do you have the newer series?" Emily nods. "Of course you do, yeah that's fine."
"There we go Doc." Emily said.
"Alright. Let me go start working on your release forms. I'm sure you're going to want to get changed before you leave. Should be ready to go in less than an hour. The nurse will bring you the forms to sign. I hope you have a safe trip home, and please, be more careful." Dr Teague said as he turned and headed out the door.
"Thanks Dr Teague." JJ turns to Emily. "Well, if you want to go ahead and get the stuff out so you can get changed, I can go ahead and take the bags to the car."
"Yeah, give me a minute." Emily starts digging through her go bag getting what she needs. She zips it back up and tosses it on the end of the bed. "Here you go."
"Ok. I'm going to take the bags down. Be back in a few. I'll call Hotch on the way back up. Maybe he will let me go in tomorrow." JJ said as she grabs her bag from beside the bed she had slept in.
"Alright I can send a message to the rest of the team." Emily said. JJ walks towards the door grabbing Emily's bag as she goes and is out the door.
She is back in less than ten minutes. "Hotch told me not to come in. Didn't figure he would let me. Not after hearing the doctor wanted someone to be with you for the next few days."
"Oh JJ. I will be fine during the day..."Emily started.
JJ holds up her hands "Hey I tried. But he is the boss, and there is no real point in arguing with him. Not since he had Rossi there and he agreed too. I know when and when not to push. This was definitely a not push situation." JJ explains.
"Yeah yeah, you're probably right." Emily still hasn't brought up what happened after she got knocked out again because JJ said they would talk later, even though she really wants too, she has to let JJ bring it up. Something happened afterwords that JJ still isn't quite ready to talk about. If anything, they still have the next few days. Changing the subject to kill the silence that had fallen between them Emily asks "So you got any plans for Henry over the next couple weeks since we are off?"
"Not really, I've talked with Garcia. She is up for girls night next week. And Spence will watch Henry for us. He even plans on taking him to the Smithsonian dinosaur exhibit. Other than that, spend as much time with him as I can before we go back on rotation." JJ answered.
"That's wonderful. The Smithsonian is a great place. You can go there a dozen times and still not see everything there is to see there. I've been there a few times. There's so many different museums to see." Emily said.
They continue talking, and before they know it, the nurse walks in and said "Who is ready to leave?"
Emily jumps up asking"Where do I sign?" which causes JJ and the nurse to laugh.
A short while later JJ is turning the vehicle north on to Capital Blvd which will run them to I85 and into I95 just south of Richmond which will then take them home.
"So when did you want to talk?" Emily asks.
JJ, understanding that Emily is asking about what happened after she got hit and knocked out just said "I figured we can stop around Richmond and grab something to eat. I can tell you what happened then."
"Well then I say you drive like Morgan. I'm getting hungry. And I've spent enough of my time over the last few days laying down or sitting. The less I'm stick sitting in this vehicle the better." Emily said drawing a grin from JJ.
"Alright, let's go." JJ said and punches the gas. "Not like Morgan though. I want to get home in one piece." Both girls grin as they head home.
A/N: Yes it's another kind of short chapter, but next chapter is finally the talk between Emily and JJ. What happened after Emily got knocked out... I guess we'll find out within a couple of days.
Also on a different note, I've started the next story and was wondering where you wanted it to start 1) right after this story ends or 2) just before girls night starts. And was also wondering if you wanted some Henry and Reid chapters at the Smithsonian? Tell me what you think.
