Nina's POV:
The doctor wanted to talk to me alone and she started to scare me. I asked her if everything was okay and she just shook her head.
She sat me down and said, "Cathy may not be your mother because we ran blood tests on both your mother and father, and neither matched your DNA. We are running more tests but right now the only thing we know for sure is that Hotch is your father.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My sister is not my sister and my mother also is not my mother. What world am I living in? Emily came back in and I said nothing.
She kept asking questions but I couldn't answer her at this moment. Nothing made sense anymore. All I could do is move forward but I am questioning my past.
If Cathy isn't my mother who is? I needed answers but I didn't know where to start.
I was finally able to leave the hospital and I went to Morgan's room and sat with Penelope, J.J., and Emily. Morgan was awake and was talking about leaving which made me laugh a little. Penelope said, "You aren't going anywhere chocolate thunder. I will be watching you every day."
He did not want her to do that but it was a losing battle. Emily took me home and I immediately went to my room and fell asleep.
I was wakened by Emily taking a shower. I looked at the clock and it said 10 pm. She soon got out of the shower and went into my room to check up on me. She kept trying to talk to me but I refused to speak.
Emily's POV:
The nurse wanted me and J.J. to leave the room and told Nina news and I had a feeling it wasn't good. I came back into the room but she didn't say anything. She was finally discharged and we decided to sit with Penelope and Morgan.
Later we went home and she went to her room and fell asleep. Every hour I checked on her because I was nervous that she was going to run away or something. I hate her being so sad and whatever the nurse told her it devastated her. I decided to take a shower and when I got out I saw that she woke up.
I kept trying to talk to her but nothing was being said and finally, I gave up. I texted J.J. and said, 'Nina is shutting me out and I am afraid she won't open up to me. I don't want her to hold anything back because she needs someone and I need someone too.'
J.J. texted back, 'She may need time to process what happened. She will open back up to you but I think all she needs is a friend.'
I texted back, 'Thanks, you always know just what to say'
I fell asleep at 11:30.
I woke up at seven o'clock and went to check on Nina. She wasn't in here room so I looked in the bathroom, then the kitchen, and she wasn't anywhere to be found in this house. I start to panic. I picked up my phone and tried to call her but she didn't answer so I called J.J. She picked up right away and asked, "What's up?"
I say frantically, "I can't fine Nina she is not in the house."
J.J. Told me to calm down and that Nina was at the BAU talking to a therapist because Hotch wanted her too. I relaxed and grabbed my keys and left for the BAU.
When i got there I saw Nina walking out of the therapist office with a slight smile. She came straight to me and hugged me. I never felt so relieved in my life. The therapist pulled me aside and said, "Nina may seem okay but she isn't. She is going through an episode of sever depression. When she got here she didn't talk so I tried other ways to communicate with her, but then I received the medical files from the hospital."
I asked, "Can you tell me what the doctor said to her because she wont tell me anything."
The therapist was reluctant to tell me so I said, "Ma'am I love her and I want to do anything that will make her happy again but I need to know what is causing her to be sad so please tell me."
She agreed and told me about the bloodwork and the DNA testing. I was stunned and now knew why Nina is quiet. She's afraid to say or do anything that will make her question her life even more. I said thank you and left the office.
I walked out to see Nina with J.J and Penelope and asked, "Let's have a girls lunch?"
Everyone agreed but Nina didn't want to. In the end we were able to convince her to come and we had some fun.
We went home and I sat Nina down and asked her, "Are you okay?" She didn't respond and so I said, "The therapist told me about the bloodwork and DNA testing so I know why you don't want to say anything but you cant live your life in fear and shut people out. I want you to know I am here for you."
She looked at me and started to cry and I held her until we were both asleep on the couch. I woke up around 1 am and tried to move quietly so she can have the couch but then she woke up and said, "Don't leave me."
"Never," I said and sat back down and snuggled with her all night. That night I knew Nina was the one for me. No one else in the world can make me as happy as Nina does.
As I fell back to sleep I thought about the night of when she got hit and realized I never told her what I wanted to say. I woke up at 6 and went to my bag and grabbed a tiny red velvet box. Once Nina woke up I will ask her the question that will change our lives.
