"He threw his wedding ring at him?" Emily asked incredulously.
"Yeah, Reid's got it clutched in his hand and won't let it go," JJ answered.
"But Morgan has to know that Spencer would never kiss another man and destroy their marriage," the brunette replied. Hotch's eyes widened when he heard Emily's comment. Placing one hand on his girlfriends arm he raised his other hand in the universal time out gesture.
"Hold on, JJ, I need to explain this to Hotch."
"Okay," JJ told her. Turning to Hotch, Emily relayed what JJ had told her. Reaching for Emily's phone he put it on speaker.
"They're both safe and sound right? Neither of them is wandering around possibly drunk and angry are they?" Hotch questioned.
"Reid's here and Morgan's at Garcia's," JJ assured her boss.
"We'll keep Savanna as long as we need to. Jack loves having a playmate and he enjoys helping take care of her," Hotch said into the phone.
"That's good, I'm hoping they'll work this out tomorrow, but I don't know. Reid wants to sort this all out, and I'm sure Morgan does to, but…" JJ broke off leaving the sentence unfinished.
"Morgan's stubborn and won't let go of his anger very easily," Emily finished.
"I hope they can still work together even if this doesn't get sorted out right away," Hotch interjected.
"They will, they're both professionals. I wouldn't put them together on an assignment, though," Emily advised.
"No, if they're still at odds on Monday I'll make sure that any cases we work they aren't required to be alone with each other," he answered.
"Poor Savanna, she's the inocent one in all of this," Emily lamented. The other two murmured in agreement.
"All we can do is keep things as normal for her as possible," Hotch replied gently kissing the top of Emily's head.
"MMM, Hotch's right. I guess I should let you two go for now. I'll keep you posted," JJ promised.
"You do that, and let us know if we can do anything," Emily instructed.
"I will," the media liaison answered just before she hung up. Getting off the couch JJ took one last look in her spare bedroom at a fitfully sleeping Reid. She could see that Morgan's wedding ring was still clutched in his hand, and tears still slid slowly down his face. Placing a kiss on his forehead she made her way slowly to her own bedroom her heart breaking even more for her two friends and the mess they'd found themselves in.
