June 3rd, 1993.
On June third JJ heads over to Emily's house. Sandy just told her that she needs to go to the doctor's to get her yearly shots.
JJ knocks on the big white door and waits patiently for someone to open it.
James opens the door and smiles at the younger girl.
"Hello JJ. Come in, Emily is upstairs in her room."
"Hi, Uncle J." JJ walks inside and goes upstairs.
"Emmy? Can you come to the doctors with me?"
"Why are going to the doctors, butterfly? Are you sick?" Emily asks comcerned.
"No." JJ climbs onto Emily's bed and crawls over to her.
"No? Then why are you going?"
"Cause Mommy says I hafta get my shots and I realy don't wanna go."
"Oh, come here." She pulls JJ over onto a hug.
"Can you come with me?"
"Sure, I will. What time are you leaving?"
"Mama said 3:30."
Emily glancesat the clock. It reads 3:09 p.m.
"Well, why don't we go back over to your house so we'll all be together when we need to leave?"
"Ok." JJ hops down and the two go back over to her house.
At the Doctor's Office.
JJ, Emily, and Sandy are in the waiting room of the doctor's office. JJ and Emily are playing Tic Tac Toe in JJ's notebook, using the seat in between them as a table.
"Jennifer Jareau?" A nurse says, walks into the room.
"That's us. Come on, baby, let's go." The three follow the nurse to a room where the nurse says the doctor will be in shortly.
"Emmy I don't want to get the shots."
"I know you don't, baby. But it'll be over before you know." Emily replies.
The doctor comes comes in with three shots and preps JJ's arm.
"Jen, look at me. Give me your hand," Emily takes her hand, linking their fingers. "and focus on me. Now, tell me something. What doc ou want to do when we get back home?" She nods subtlety at the doctor, telling him to do it.
"Can I come home with you and spend the night?" She asks.
"Sure. Do you want to have a movie night?"
"Can we watch Scooby-Doo?"
"Yes, we can do that. How about we have Uncle J make us grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and then we can watch Scooby until we fall asleep? What do you want to do until then?"
"Um…can we go to the park? If my arm doesn't hurt too much?"
"Yep. We can do that. What about if your arm is hurting? Do you want of just start the movie night early?"
"Yes, can we get ice cream on the way home?" JJ directs that question to Sandy.
"Yes. Do you two just want to have a late lunch at McDonald's since you are just going to have grilled cheese for dinner?"
"Ohh yeah, let's do that."
"All right." The doctor says, putting a band aid on JJ's arm. "All done."
"See? That wasn't so bad, was it?"
"No. I didn't even feel anything." JJ says amazed.
"I know. I told you it would be over before you knew it." Emily taps the eight years old's nose and then let's JJ stand up.
"What are you two going to eat at McDonald's?" Sandy asks, as they walk to the car.
"I want a happy meal, please." JJ says.
"A cheese burger will. Em fine with me. Please and thank you." Emily adds as an after thought.
Later that night. 7:45 p.m.
JJ and Emily are upstairs watching Scooby-Doo in Emily's room when James walks in,
"Guys, your grilled cheeses are done."
"Can we eat then in here and have a picnic?" JJ asks.
"Thats fine with me as long as you two bring the plates back downstairs." James replies.
"We will. Thank you, Dad."
"No problem, Em. Do you want me to bring them up?"
"Yes, please."
"All right. What do you guys want to drink?"
"Milk, please."
"Ok, I'll be right back." James leaves and returns a few minutes later with the plates and drinks.
Two hours later Emily decides it bedtime for the younger girl.
"Jen, I think it's bedtime. Do you want me to tunk you in and sing you a song?
"Emmy? Can I sleep in here tonight?" She sounds scared and that concerns Emily.
"Why don't you want to sleep in your room?"
"Because I might have a bad dream again."
"A bad dream? When was the last time you had one?" Now she really is concerned.
JJ just shrugs. "I don't know. Like a month ago."
"A month ago? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I forgot. Are you mad at me?"
"No, no of course not. Did you tell your mom or dad?"
JJ shakes her head. "I forgot." She repeats. "Are you gonna make me sleep by myself?" The little girl actually sounds scared, like she thins Emily would abandon her.
"No I'm not going to make you sleep by yourself. Are you ready for bed?"
"Yes. Will you sing me a song?"
"Yeah I will. Get under the covers and scoot over here." JJ does as she's told and Emily reaches over to turn the lap off. Then she covers up too, and begins to sing the now famous bedtime song.
