8:00 p.m. At Emily's house.

"Emily?" JJ says. She and Emily are currently laying on the couch. Lynn is making them dinner while James finishes getting a warrant out for Jacob's arrest.

"Yes?"

"Is Jacob going to go to jail forever?"

"Yes, he is. Once my dad arrests him then he will be gone forever."

JJ yawns. "I'm tired, Em."

"Well, let's go see if Lynn has the mac and cheese finished yet. You can eat, take a shower, and then go to bed. You've had a very long day and you need some rest." The two head to the kitchen where Lynn is putting mac and cheese on their plates.

"Hey, I was just about to come and get you. What do you guys want to drink?"

"Milk please." JJ responds. Emily nods in agreement.

"Emily, can we watch a movie with your daddy before I go to bed?"

"Sure, bug. But, we need to get your shower over with in case you fall asleep. Ok?"

"Ok."

After JJ's shower the girls put in The Little Mermaid and settle down on the couch.

Halfway through the movie JJ falls asleep. James takes the little girl upstairs to her room with Emily following them. JJ wakes up by the time James lays her down and Emily stays in the room to talk to her.

"Listen Jay. You don't have to sleep alone. If at any time tonight you have a scary dream or just don't want to be alone, you come across the hall to my room. Ok?"

"Ok. I love you, Em."

"Love you too, bug. Good night." Emily stands and walks to the door, closing it just a little before going to her room and climbing into her bed.

Two hours later

Around two hours later Emily is woken by JJ. She jumps out of bed and goes across the hall where the blonde is tossing and turning and crying out.

"Jen, wake up, bug. It's just a dream. It's not real." Emily shakes the little girl. Finally she is able to wake her up and she lets the little girl climb into her lap.

"You're ok, bug. Deep breaths, ok? Take a deep breath for me."

"Emily!"

"I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere, I promise."

"I wanna sleep with you." JJ whispers quietly.

"OK, come on." Emily leads the younger girl to her room and they climb into her bed. Once settled Emily turns to her.

"Jen, look at me." Blue eyes meet worried brown ones. "You're ok, bug. No one can hurt you now."

"I dreamed the bad guy came back and took me away from you." JJ says.

"Bug, that's not going to happen. I promise. If anyone tried to come inside this house then they'd set the alarm off and my dad would wake up. You're safe here. I promise. Now, come here." She hold her arms out for the younger girl and JJ scoots over to her.

Soon the two of them are fast asleep.

The Next Morning Emily's P.O.V.

The next morning I wakes up before JJ. I just lay here and I watch the younger girl beside me sleep. Since she came to my room the night before, JJ hadn't woken up anymore.

I slip out of bed and decide to go downstairs. When I get to the kitchen, my dad is drinking his coffee.

"Morning, Daddy." I say.

"Good morning, princess. How did you guys sleep last night? I thought I heard JJ, but I wasn't sure."

"Well, she had a bad dream about two hours after she went to bed. But, I moved her to my bed and she didn't wake up anymore."

My dad is silent for a few minutes and then he asks, "Emmy, how are you? I mean how are you really doing with all this? I know it's a lot to take in at once."

I sigh deeply. Honestly, I don't know how I feel. "I don't know, dad. I mean, my best friend was attacked. She seven years old! She's just a kid. She didn't deserve to have that done to her! But, I…" I sigh again. "I'll be fine once JJ is ok."

My dad nods, satisfied with that answer. Just then I hear my name being called and I turn to see JJ in the doorway of the kitchen. She has tears streaming down her face and soon she sees that she's caught my attention, she runs over to me.

I catch her in a hug and pull her into my lap. "Hey, baby. What's wrong? Did you have another bad dream?"

She shakes her head and leans into me. "Your Momma was being mean to me." She whispers.

I sigh. My mother is already on my nerves and it's not even nine o'clock yet! "What did she do?"

"She said I kept her awake all night because I was crying. But it wasn't my fault! I promise!"

"I know sweetie. Look." I nod to my dad who's getting up and going into the living room to find my mom.

"Uncle J is going to go talk to her. Ok?"

She just nods and leans against me. We sit there for a few more minutes until we decide we are hungry.

Three Weeks Later. Wednesday, June 3rd.

Today is JJ's appointment with her therapist. She has been having bad dreams every night for the past three weeks and has been seeing a therapist for two weeks. At first, Michael and Sandy had been reluctant to agreeing to her going, because they didn't think she really needed, that all she needed was to come home. But, they finally agreed when James told them about JJ's dreams.

"Jen, it's time to go, honey. We need to talk to Dr. Ryan today, remember?" Emily reminds the girl gently.

"But I don't want to go." JJ replies.

"I know that, sweetie. But, Dr. Ryan helps you. You can go in and talk and you'll be done before you know it."

JJ sighs but stands up. She takes Emily's hand and they walk downstairs.

"JJ, your mom and dad are going to meet us there. Ok." James says.

"Ok."

For the first week and a half, JJ's parents went back with her. But today will be the first day by herself.

"JJ, you can come back now." Dr. Ryan says.

JJ goes over to the couch and sits down.

"Now, JJ I want you to tell me what you were doing the day the bad man came."

"I was home with my cousin Madeleine." JJ starts swinging her legs back and forth on the couch.

"JJ, be still please. Where were your parents?"

JJ frowns but does as she is told. "They went to town and my bubba and sissy were gone too."

"OK and what were you doing when the man came to your house?"

"I was playing outside. I followed the man inside the house 'cause I didn't know who he was."

"And what did you do inside?"

"Maddie said he was her boyfriend. After lunch she told me to go upstairs and stay out of her way." JJ skims over what happened.

Dr. Ryan makes a note in her folder. "And what did you do upstairs?"

"I watched some Scooby-Doo and then I got bored." JJ forgets what she was told and starts swinging her legs again.

"JJ, I don't want to have to you again. Quit swinging your legs."

JJ stops. "Sorry, I forgot."

"What did you do when you got bored?"

"I put my raincoat and boots on 'cause it was cloudy and rainy looking outside."

"Then what happened?"

"The b-bad man came in my room. H-he made m-me l-lay down o-on t-the bed and he k-kissed me." JJ says, starting to cry.

"Ok, JJ, I need you to calm down. I can't understand you. Now, be a big girl and tell me what else happened."

"I kicked him in his bad spot and tried to run. B-but, he s-stopped me. H-he stuck his hand d-down my p-pants and t-touched me in my bad spot."

"JJ, did you tell him no?"

JJ looked confused. "What?"

"Did you say no? Did you say 'Stop. I don't want you to do this.'?

"Y-yes I said stop! I told him no and he wouldn't listen!" JJ says. She's getting tired of the way the doctor if treating her.

"Now, there's no need to yell. Don't be a crybaby, JJ. You need to finish telling me what happened."

"C-can we take a break, p-please?" JJ asks. She's trying to calm herself down but is having a hard time.

"No, you may not have a break. Now, come on, JJ. Be a big girl." The doctor repeats.

Before JJ can reply, the timer dings signaling the end of the session.

JJ runs out of the office and into the waiting room. The tears on her face are dried enough that know would know she was crying unless they asked.

"Emmy! Can we go swimming when we get home?"

"Sure, we can. Come on, my dad is already in the truck."

"Why is he out there?"

"He had to make a phone call. Come on."

One Week Later June 10th.

It was once again time for JJ's appointment.

"Jen, are you ready to go? We can go swimming again when you get back. How does that sound?"

"Emmy, I don't want to talk to Dr. Ryan. She's mean to me."

"Well, what did she do that was mean?"

"She called me a cry-baby." JJ replies, tearing up.

"When did she call you that, bug?" James asks.

"Last week. She said I needed to stop crying and tell her what happened like a big girl."

"Alright, hey, it's ok, bug. Did she do or say anything else?"

"Mmhm." JJ nods.

"Ok. What did she do?"

"She said no breaks. She w-wanted me to t-talk about it a-all at o-once."

James lets his eyes fall closed and sighs deeply. "Ok. Have you told your mom or dad about this?"

"No, not yet."

"All right, well, let's go over to your house and tell them right now. Ok?" JJ takes James' outstretched hand and the three head over to her house.

"James, is everything alright?" Sandy asks when James comes into the kitchen.

"No, actually it isn't. JJ has something she needs to tell you."

"What do you need to tell us, baby?"

"I don't like Dr. Ryan. She's mean to me."

"What did she do that was mean?"

JJ glances over at Emily. "Its ok, Jen. Just tell them what you told us."

"She called me a cry-baby. And said I needed to tell her what happened like a big girl."

"When did she say that to you, baby?"

"Last week. She also asked me if I told the bad man no."

Sandy sighs. "It seems like we need to have a talk with her. Don't you think Michael?"

"Yes, it does. JJ, why don't you go back to Emily's house? You don't have to go to therapy today?"

"Come on, Jen. We can go swimming right now. What do you say?"

"Yay!" JJ grabs Emily's hand and drags her out of the house.

Sandy and Michael leave the house and head for the therapy office.

At the Office

At the office Sandy and Michael go straight back to Dr. Ryan's office.

"Mr. and Mrs. Jareau, where is JJ today?" Dr. Ryan asks.

"JJ is at home." Sandy replies. "It's funny that you never told us what your method of getting JJ to talk was."

"My method?" Dr. Ryan asks, acting innocent.

"Yeah, your method. Like how you called her a cry-baby and told her to talk like a big girl."

"Oh, she told you about that huh?"

"Yeah, she did. What the hell were you thinking calling my daughter that?"

"Well, the way I see it, JJ will never be able to talk about what happened if you two continue to baby her."

"'Baby her'? She's seven years old! She is a baby!"

"I was just trying to help her."

"Help her?! You asked if she said no to Jacob! As if she just laid there or asked for what happened. No, you didn't help at all. You just made things a lot worse!" With that Sandy and Michael are gone leaving a stunned doctor behind.

Here is the first part. I PROMISE the next one will wrap up '92. I know I keep saying that but I promise this time.

Next up: JJ's 8th birthday party.

Then: Easter 1993

After that: Summer of '93

Then: Halloween of '93.

Last: New Years Eve/Day '93-'94.

For Hippiechic 81 I will have JJ's sister's suicide chapter up after 10 more chapters. We're close! Just hang in there because I know you really want to read that one!
