Chapter 14
This will be the last chapter to this little story but as always, there will be more :o) …I am hoping I have done this justice please let me know what you think…. And thank you again
JJ had been in and out of it for the past few days managing to stay awake longer but every time she woke Emily had to reassure her she was safe, Sarah hadn't left JJ's side, apart from when Emily had made her go for a walk or to take a shower.
'I guess sleep can only last so long, my eyes feel so heavy, I guess they haven't hit me today either that or I am dead but I can feel something holding me' "NOO!" JJ screamed causing Emily to bolt upright "Shh, it's just me Jen your safe I promise" Emily said as calmly as she could as dull blue eyes stared at her.
Emily ran her finger gently through her hair as she whispered, "Your safe baby I promise" a small smile touched JJ's lips as she spoke "I knew you'd fine me" her voice barely a whispered "I always will. My sweet girl" Emily smiled softly "Here have a sip of this sweetie it will help your throat" Emily said as she placed the straw against her lips.
"How long" JJ rasped "You have been in hospital three days sweetie" Emily said as she placed a soft kiss on her forehead "Em" JJ said softly, Emily looked at her "You scared me Jen" Emily said honestly "Sorry" Emily couldn't help but chuckle "Next time you never go anywhere alone you hear me" JJ nodded "I love you so much Jen"
Emily said as she rested her head next to JJ's "love you too" JJ said though her voice was drowsy "You get some rest baby okay" Emily said softly as she held onto her fingers "Want to go home" JJ whispered as sleep took back over. JJ kept asking to go home and getting more and more frustrated each time she was told no by the nurses.
Emily was getting more and more worried as it went on, she knew JJ needed to be home and out of here, to a place she felt safe, she hated seeing the hurt and pain flash in her eyes each time they said no. However, her injuries she was not able to fly on the jet and they would not allow Emily to drive them all back. Emily was just grateful that she had her wife back.
The soft chuckle pulled Emily's eyes away from JJ as she turned to face the door "Did I just hear her already ask to go home again?" Morgan said as he walked in, Emily sighed, "You say I'm bad?" Morgan gave her a soft smile "Emily stop beating yourself up about this, she will" Emily placed her finger on his lip cutting him off mid-sentence as she looked at him. "Morgan I need to get some air" Morgan nodded you want me to get Sarah and Garcia to come back and sit in here till you get back?" he asked kindly "Please" Emily said as she started to get up.
Emily picked up her phone as she walked out of the door, her eyes falling over JJ's body before she closed it softly "Morgan the second she wakes if I am not back come get me!" Morgan placed his hand on her arm "I will, and where will you be?" Emily smiled softly "Near the entrance I need to make a phone call"
"Ambassador Prentiss please" Emily said to the woman who picked up her phone "Sorry she is in a meeting right now can I take a message and she will ring you back" the voice said as Emily took a deep breath "No you can't take a message and you will disturb her meeting, and tell her that her daughter is on the phone" Emily said sternly
"She has told me unless its" Emily cut her off "If you do not put me through right now I will make sure this is the last job you ever get do I make myself clear and if she really wants a reason tell her that her daughter-in-law is in hospital and that YOU didn't want to disturb her" Emily ranted as her temper finally went.
"This is Ambassador Prentiss" Elizabeth said firmly "I see she couldn't even be bothered to tell you it was me" Emily said the anger still laden in her voice "Emily! What is it?" Elizabeth said as she heard her daughters tone. "Jennifer, she's in hospital," Emily said as her voice broke
"Sweetheart is she okay? Where are you?" "East Allegheny" Emily paused slightly "Mom she wants to go home" Elizabeth closed her eyes as she spoke "Emily is she okay?" she asked again. "Physically no, mentally no, she needs to be away from here. Mom and" Elizabeth could hear Emily's sobs "Emily darling tell me what happened and then we can work the rest out okay, I can cut my trip short if I need to" Emily couldn't help the smile across her lips hearing her mother say that.
Emily explained everything to Elizabeth about the case and about JJ being taken "Emily I will ring you back let me make some phone calls" Emily sighed softly, "Thank you and Mother" "Yes?" "That woman who answered the phone" Emily said with a slight harshen to it "I will deal with that as well, Emily look after her and answer your phone" Emily chuckled slightly "Mom Sarah is here with me I don't think Karen knows" "I understand goodbye darling"
Emily smiled to herself as she let the coolness attack her skin a slight shiver coursed through her body as she took in the day light, she jumped slightly as she felt someone touch her shoulder gently "I brought you a coffee" Sandy smiled "Thank you" She took a seat next to Emily as she gently rubbed her back "Have you spoken to your Mother yet?" she enquired to which Emily just nodded
"Emily I know she wants to go home and I know you do as well me and Anthony know being here will do her or you no good" she said honestly as Emily gave her a weak smile "I do and she does, but she is your daughter" Emily said softly "And I only want what is best for her and she won't heal here"
Emily looked into the same blue eyes and smiled sadly "Emily we are a short plane journey away and we are also a phone call away but it is you she needs not us, she will only get angry if" Emily sighed softly "I know I just"
Sandy chuckled "Emily you and your children are what she needs not us and we fully understand that, think about it but don't hold back making arrangements to get her home on account of us" Sandy said as Emily frowned slightly "She isn't ready to travel yet" Emily said sadly
"Give it a day or two and then let us know" Sandy said "Will you" Sandy laughed "Jennifer was right when she said you think of everyone else before yourself" "She told you that" Emily said puzzled "Let's go and see our girl, Morgan said she is awake and asking for you" Emily nodded as they both made their way back inside.
Emily and Sandy could hear her voice half way down the hall causing Emily to half run towards her room but stopping dead "I want to go home, I do not care how you do it but you make it happen Garcia" JJ said firmly as Emily opened the door
"Jennifer" Emily said with a raised eyebrow "You aren't able to get on the jet like that" Emily pointed out as JJ pouted "make it happen Em please" JJ's eyes where panicked and full of fear as she walked over to her "I am working on it, or should I say Mother is" Emily said as she gently stroked her cheek.
JJ leaned in to her touch as best as she could without it hurting "Could you guys give us a few minute's please" Emily asked as she looked at her Sarah, the team and JJ's parents "We will be outside" Emily nodded as she looked back at JJ.
"How you doing baby" Emily asked softly "I would feel better if I was away from here Emily" JJ said again pleading with her "I know and believe me Jen I want you as far away from here as possible" Emily said as her lips softly touch her "Hold me?" JJ asked, as she looked at her wife "Always sweetheart" Emily said as she gently wrapped her arm around her so she could rest against her chest, letting Emily's heartbeat soothe her back to sleep.
The ringing from Emily's phone disturbed her from her sleep as she answered in a whisper "Prentiss" "Emily?" her mother asked as she tried to listen "yes mom it's me, Jennifer is asleep" Emily said softly as she ran her fingers through her hair "I have managed to sort you some transport out" Emily couldn't help but smile "Thank you" Emily said her voice fully of more happiness than she could ever convey
"They will be with you in the morning, Emily she will have to stay at the hospital for a few days, but they know she is my daughter-in-law and I have sent in the best to make sure she will be well cared for, Dr Grant has been informed and will be with the air ambulance to bring you both home" Elizabeth said
"Thank you Mother" Emily said softly "And Emily, let Sarah know that I have cut this trip short and I will be home in a couple of days to help Karen with the twins" Emily sighed softly as JJ began to wake up "Em?" she rasped softly. "One second mother" Emily said softly "Hey sweetheart" Emily said softly "Who you talking to?" Emily rolled her eyes "Mother" JJ brightened up slightly "Can we go home?" though her voice was she horse Emily couldn't help but laugh
"Mother can you speak to Jennifer and tell her" Elizabeth laughed slightly "Of course" as Emily handed the phone to her wife "You will be transferred in the morning Jennifer, how are you holding up" she asked kindly "I just want to go home" JJ said weakly "you will be soon I promise" Elizabeth said as she smiled grateful to hear JJ's voice though she could hear the distance in her voice "You will be with your children soon Jennifer I promise" JJ smiled softly as she handed the phone back to Emily "Mom I need to go, I will ring you once we have landed" Emily said as Elizabeth said goodbye.
