Chapter 1

The BAU have been in Mississippi for the past 4 days, looking for a UnSub who is kidnapping women. Hotch has sent Emily and JJ to question a Mr Mark Marin who discovered the third victim's body.

"I'm sorry l chewed your head off this morning, Sweetheart." JJ apologised to her wife

"Yeah! Miss blue eyed, blond haired, FBI agent that's not addicted to caffeine. Not as if it was my fault the coffee machine broke overnight." Emily snarked. "Your caffeine levels should be back to normal, that super large double shot Colombian, should have taken the edge off?"

"yes thanks, you always look after me even when I chew your head off. I don't deserve you, why do you put up with my crap?" JJ asked with a smirk reaching across to rub her hand along Emily's right thigh.

"I must be a sadist, Oh and I love you very much." Laughs Emily "A massage tonight will make amends."

"I can do that, but first we need the coffee machine fixed."A grinning JJ replied

"See what I mean, I married to you and the coffee monster." Laughed Emily

JJ swatted Emily on her arm, and laughs. " but you love me and my monster.." JJ smirks

"Yes, Yes I do. Where here." Emily announcers

They both start walking up towards the front door.

"Look at all the external security cameras, there must be six out front. Must be a bit obsessed with his security." JJ mentioned to Emily

They both walk towards the front door. Emily is about to knock on the door, when JJ hears some one cocking a shotgun behind the door.

"EMILY LOOK OUT!" JJ yells at her wife. She flings herself at Emily and rugby tackles her out the way, JJ had smashed Emily's head into a decorative brick feature at the side of the front door.

The front door is shattered by the two shotgun blasts. JJ checks on Emily to find her unconscious from striking her head on some decorative brick work. She has a nasty looking laceration to her head that is bleeding profusely. Happy she hadn't been hit by any shot gun pellets she placed her into the recovery position. She phoned Hotch asking for backup and a ambulance. Hotch had told her to wait outside until the rest of the team arrived.

JJ was far to pissed off to listen to her boss. Happy Emily was safe she unholstered her side arm and stood up. The lock on the door had been damaged by the shotgun blast, she raised her foot and gave the door a sharp kick. The door flung open and hung by one hinge, she entered slowly and deliberately with her weapon raised. She scanned the entrance and found it clear, a head popped out from a door and raised his shotgun and fired at JJ.

She dived for cover behind a large elephant statue, she felt sharp pains in her left leg and could feel blood running down her leg. She returned fire from the cover of the statute, firing three shots two hit the door frame harmlessly but the third shot hit him at the top of his inner thigh.

"Aghhhh!" Was the satisfying sound JJ heard indicating she had hit the target

"FBI Drop your weapon, Drop it!"yells JJ

"NEVER FED!" Another two shots ware directed at JJ

she returned fire with two well aimed shots at his right shoulder, both rounds are on target causing him to drop the weapon. JJ breaks cover very slowly and carefully, her weapon steady at the door her attacker is behind. She slowly enters what looks to be the dining room. Mark Marin is laid on the floor blood gushing from a groin wound and shoulder wound.

"JJ. Where are you?" Shouts Hotch

"In here! The rest of the house hasn't been cleared." She tells her boss

Hotch, Morgan and Rossi clear the house and find no one else home. JJ hobbled over to her unconscious wife by the front door and sits down with her why they wait for the paramedics

"Is she ok? JJ." Morgan asked

"She banged her head hard against the brickwork. I pushed her out the way," JJ tells Morgan without taking her eyes off her unconscious wife.

"Marin's dead JJ he's bleed out. We found a variety of medication in his bathroom for his manic depression, it looks like he's been off his meds for a while. That might explain why he opened fire on you without warning." Hotch informs her

"Let me look at your leg? JJ" Rossi asked. He ripped open her pants leg to see several small holes from the shotgun pellets and some Wooden splinters from the statue.

"Go to the hospital with your wife and get your leg treated. We need a talk later about your blatant disregard for my orders." A angry Hotch tells JJ.

"Yes Sir." JJ responds

Later JJ is sat in Emily's room waiting for her to wake up. She has 13 stitches in a laceration above her eye. And of course the standard BAU concussion. JJ had her leg treated and 14 shotgun pellets removed.

"Thank you Sweetheart." Emily whispers from the bed "can you turn the lights off"

"Oh Emily, you had me worried." JJ responds while turning the lights off

"What happened?" Emily asked

JJ explains Marin was a manic depressive off his meds, just opened fire. She fills Emily in on the fire fight and that Marin had died.

"He gave you no choice sweetheart you did the right thing. How's your leg?" Emily asked

"Sore, lets get you home" smiles JJ

The next morning JJ is sat in Hotch's office. "Your shooting has been cleared as justified. As well as the outside cameras he had internal camera's so the whole thing is covered in full HD and Dolby surround sound." Hotch informs her "you disobeyed my order to wait. IA might have cleared you but your on my naughty list for a while, you understand why?"

"Yes sir, it won't happen again" a contrite JJ responds.

Back at Emily's condo JJ lays on the settee with her head in Emily's lap. Emily is running her fingers through JJ's blond hair gently.

"Did I do the right thing Em, I was so pissed you where hurt. All I wanted was to hurt him badly" JJ quietly asked her wife.

"Yes, If you where injured, I would of done the same thing sweetheart. He shot at you." Emily tells her wife "Hotch will get over it, IA cleared you it was a good shoot." Emily tells her and kisses her showing her how much she loved her.

"Come on gimpy, time for bed." Emily tells her wife offering her hand with a smile

"It's a good job I love you woman. I'd sooner be gimpy than look like Quasimodo." Smirked JJ "The bells! The bells!" JJ sings, resulting in he Emily slapping her butt on the way up the stairs

The injured couple snuggle together in bed both happy to be together
