Morgan's eyes slowly opened, at first the sight of the destroyed furniture surprised him but then the memories came flooding back. He let out a groan when he remembered what he'd done the night before to Garcia. He slammed his head on the back of the wall and clenched his fists closed, what the hell had he been thinking? Sure, he was hurt but it wasn't her fault.

He slowly got to his feet, brushed stray bits of glass and dirt of his body and stretched. He carefully turned the sofa and table right side up, swept up the broken materials then picked up a duffel bag and carried it to his car. With the bag in the back he sped across town to Garcia's apartment.

After locking the car Morgan strode into the apartment block, glancing round before stopping by the right door and knocking. A short while later the door cautiously opened and JJ's face came into view. "Hey JJ, I-" Morgan was cut short when the blonde stepped forward and shut the door behind her.

"What the hell happened last night?" JJ growled with a vicious glint in her eye.

"W-What? Nothing, I just-"

"You just what? Attacked her?"

"What? No! We were talking about something and-"

"And you didn't like where it was going so you hit her? I get you're hurting Morgan but this has to stop"

"No! You don't have any idea what's been happening" Morgan snapped. "Now you're gonna let me in right now!"

"You're not getting anywhere near her again! You're lucky I haven't told Hotch about this" JJ snarled.

"It was a misunderstanding!" He shouted.

Garcia could hear the argument from inside the apartment, Morgan was showing no sign of leaving and JJ wasn't going to back down. The blonde slowly got to her feet, despite the protests of her neighbour, and moved to the door. She carefully opened the door and smiled weakly at the other woman's surprised face. "I can handle this" She said in a soft voice. JJ thought about slamming the door and keeping Morgan out of the apartment but she knew she couldn't do that forever so went back inside the apartment and waited for her.

"Penelope, I'm sorry. I don't know what happened I just-"

"Stop" Garcia sighed and rubbed her head like it was aching.

"I'm sorry" Morgan tried again, his voice sounding hopeless.

"If you were sorry you wouldn't have done it in the first place" Garcia mumbled. The man glanced down at her wrist and saw a black and blue bruise wrapped around it. "I'm going to tell Hotch that I got mugged but didn't see the guy" She added, Morgan letting out a relieved breath when he heard this. "I don't want you to come here again. I don't want you to call or text. I don't want you to come in to my office at work. If you need me to do something, get someone else to ask"

"Penelope, I'm sorry, okay? You don't need to do this"

"Don't call me that" Garcia growled while rubbing a hand over her injured wrist.

"What?"

"You lost your right to call me anything but Garcia when you hurt me" Morgan opened his mouth to protest but Garcia didn't give him long enough. "I want you to leave now" When the man failed to budge she took a different approach. "If you don't I'll call Hotch and tell him exactly what happened" Garcia couldn't bear to look at him when she said that so her eyes were fixed on the floor. "Please" She whispered when he still didn't move.

Morgan watched her for a few more moments then sighed and walked away, trying hard not to slam the door as he left the apartment block.

Garcia took a deep breath then slowly closed the door and sat back down, Lillian already rushing over with a fresh bowl of chicken soup and a blanket. "I'll get you an appointment at the doctor's office" She murmured while laying the blanket over the woman and handing her the bowl.

"It's just a bruise, Lily, I'll be fine" Garcia mumbled before taking a sip of the soup, she knew she'd be spoon fed if she didn't eat something soon.

"You might have broken your wrist!" Lillian reminded her as she started tidying up the small apartment.

"It's not broken" She grumbled softly. "It's just sore"

JJ watched the tech analyst for a few moments then cleared her throat. "It might be best if Garcia has some time to rest" She explained in the nicest way she could.

Lillian took a few moments to catch on then diligently nodded and strode toward the door. "I'll be back in a couple of hours to fix her some lunch. Just knock if you need anything" She said before exiting the room.

JJ waited a few moments then pulled a chair opposite to Garcia and sat down. "You need to tell me what happened last night"

"I can't" Garcia mumbled, tears already threatening her eyes.

"I'm not going to be mad at you, okay?" She said softly, reaching out to hold one of Garcia's hands. "I just need you to tell me so I can help you"

Garcia swallowed and took a deep breath. "It's about Emily" She began in a whisper. "She told me something… before she left… I wasn't supposed to tell anyone. I thought I could keep it a secret but I couldn't… not after she-" She stopped herself saying anymore when her voice broke and tears spilled from her eyes.

"It's alright" JJ soothed while rubbing the woman's hand softly.

"Last night…I couldn't do it anymore. Morgan came round and I told him" She explained while tears streamed down her face.

"What did you tell him?"

Garcia sucked in a deep breath and tried to stop crying. After a few moments she continued. "Emily… She was pregnant"

JJ sat in silence for a few moments, willing the tears not to escape her eyes despite knowing Emily was fine. What if she'd lost the baby? After everything Emily had been through how could she cope with that? "How long have you known?" She finally asked in a hoarse voice.

"Seven weeks" Garcia murmured and roughly pushed a tear off her makeup free face. "I didn't know what to do… She told me not to tell anyone so I thought once she… d-died I shouldn't hurt him more than he already w-was" She added as more tears slipped down her cheeks. JJ sat in stunned silence which only made Garcia feel worse. As she stood to leave she was pulled into a tight hug. After a few seconds of the initial shock she rested her head on JJ's shoulder. "I'm sorry" She whispered into the warm fabric. I didn't mean for this to happen"

"It's alright" JJ gently soothed her friend, rubbing and patting the woman's back to try to calm her down and soothe her. "Everything's gonna be alright, I promise"
