JJ has just been wheeled back to her room after getting a CAT scan. Despite the ugly lump on her head she actually felt okay so she was sure it would be negative. She is wondering where Emily is when a woman and a young girl come into her room. She smiles, guessing correctly that this is Carmen.

"Hi, Jennifer," the girl says shyly.

"Agent Jareau, honey," her mother corrects.

JJ shakes her head, "We're old friends. Jennifer is fine," the agent says kindly. "Are you okay, Carmen?"

"I think so. They said I have to drink this medicine stuff tonight 'cause I'm de—de—um, what's the word, Mommy?" she looks up at her mother.

"Dehydrated, honey."

"Right, that," she says with a nod. "Do you got to drink medicine?"

"I probably will. I'm still waiting to see the doctor."

Mrs. Carlyle steps towards the bed. "Carmen told us how you talked to her and helped her keep calm and positive. I can't thank you enough."

"It was no problem. She helped me stay positive, too, so I'd say it was teamwork. Right, Carmen?" She gives the girl a friendly wink.

"Right, Jennifer." The little girl bites her lip nervously. "Jennifer, can the bad men get us again?"

JJ looks her in the eyes. "No, honey. The police have them and they will make sure they can't hurt you anymore. You might have to tell what happened to you but I promise, as long as you tell the truth, everything will be okay."

"Okay. If I get scared, can I call you?"

JJ smiles and nods. "Of course." She gives her number to Mrs. Carlyle. "Anytime you have any questions or get scared call me. If I don't answer right away I might be chasing other bad men but I will call you back as soon as I can, okay?"

"Okay. I have to go home now." The little girl walks over to the bed and uses a chair to climb up on it. She gives JJ a big hug. "I love you, Jennifer."

JJ has tears in her eyes as she returns the hug. "I love you, too, Carmen."

Mrs. Carlyle thanks JJ once more then leaves with her daughter just as the doctor enters the room. "Well, Agent Jareau, everything looks good. You'll have that bump and bruise for a few days but no concussion or other adverse affects from the blow to your head."

"That's because drywall isn't a strong as rock," Morgan teases from the doorway. The doctor smiles, gives JJ some continued care notes, and leaves the agents alone."

JJ smiles at her friend. "You better watch it, Derek. I control how much paperwork you do."

He laughs. "Well then it's a good thing I bring two gifts for you." He sets her go bag on the end of the bed. "We found your shoes, blazer and belt in the warehouse. Thought you might want a new shirt and pants, though, considering the state of the ones you were wearing earlier." JJ nods. "We're still looking for your creds and gun. We think they may be in Williams' car which we haven't located yet.

"Damn," JJ says. "Wait you said you had two gifts for me."

"True. I had some help with the second one," he gestures towards the door and Garcia comes in with a smiling Henry. JJ's face lights up.

"Hey, Little Man! Come to Mommy!"

He claps his hands then extends his arms to JJ. She takes him and hugs him close. Morgan and Garcia smile as they see Henry patting his mother's shoulder, as if he senses she needs the comfort. As the hug ends, they see the tears in JJ's eyes. "I love you, Henry. So very, very much." She gives him a big kiss on the cheek and he gives her one in return.

"So," Garcia asks, "does bringing him get me out of the doghouse about Emily?"

"Only if you tell me what exactly happened."

"She didn't tell you?" Garcia asks. JJ gives her an "are you serious" look. Garcia nods. "Right. Of course not." Garcia tells JJ about the stops at Lowe's and CVS. She ends by taking JJ's hand. "Did you really think she'd stay on the sideline while you were missing?"

"No. But it could give Straus more ammo against us."

"No chance. She never put your safety ahead of getting the job done. Straus hated to admit that to Hotch."

"Straus? She was there?"

"Oh, yeah. With all the injury reports she was getting she wanted to personally oversee the extraction of you and Carmen. I think it really pissed her off that the only one shot was Williams and she shot herself."

JJ and Morgan laugh, knowing that Garcia is probably right. "So, how soon until Emily is ready to go?" JJ asks.

"They wanted to take new x-rays to make sure she didn't do any damage to the bones. Surprisingly she didn't argue," Garcia tells her.

"Probably because it hurt like hell, was twice the size it should be, and a rather nasty shade of purple," Morgan points out.

"True," Garcia agrees. "But if you get dressed we can take you down to her room."

Ten minutes later they are entering Emily's treatment room. The profiler smiles as she sees JJ and Henry. "Hi, Jen. Hi, Henry."

The little boy stretches towards Emily. JJ passes him over and lifts the sheet covering Emily's ankle. Her eyes widen when she sees Morgan may have been downplaying it's condition.

"Whoa! It swelled more!" Morgan notes.

Emily groans. "Yeah. They aren't able to recast it yet."

"What?" JJ asks angrily.

"They're giving me a soft cast and crutches. No weight bearing on it for at least a week," Emily says contritely. "I'm sorry, Jennifer. But Hotch and Rossi were hurt. You were missing. I had to do what I could to help."

JJ stares at Emily a moment, then sighs. "I'll forgive you. This time."

Emily smiles at her. Henry, meanwhile, is up way past his bedtime. He pulls at Emily's lips with one hand as he starts to suck on his other first. Emily knows exactly what he is asking. She gives him a kiss and starts to sing a lullaby in another language. JJ, Morgan and Garcia watch as the little boy falls into a contented sleep in his Mama's arms. As she finishes, Garcia smiles at her.

"What was that?"

Emily looks up. "It's an Italian lullaby a nanny I had used to sing to me. I didn't even know I remembered it until one night I was putting him to bed and it just came out."

"It's beautiful," Garcia tells her.

Emily looks down at the sleeping boy in her arms. "So is he." She gives him another kiss on the forehead. Morgan wraps his arms around JJ and Garcia as they wait for Emily's doctor to get back to her room.
