Emily was chasing the unsub, firing a few shots she sighed in exasperation when he managed to duck away and disappear behind a corner, Prentiss dashed quickly after him, before firing a couple more shots,
"Stop right there," she called out, she could hear Derek coming in from behind her, Emily hoped the unsub would stop now it was two against one, but he just turned around and fired out a few random shots. Unfortunately, for the brunette one of them managed to catch her in the shoulder,
"Fuck," she cried out grabbing at her shoulder and moving behind Morgan,
"Are you alright Prentiss? He asked concerned,
"Don't worry about me, go, go!" she called the unsub having momentarily frozen at seeing he had shot an FBI agent,
Derek raced off and pretty quickly caught up behind the unsub, tackling him to the ground, h kept his knee on his chest and gun pointed at him while the sheriff they were working with appeared behind them with handcuffs, once the unsub had been carted away, the rest of the team appeared and it quickly became apparent that Emily was injured,
"Prentiss are you alright?" Hotch questioned, Emily fought the urge to roll her eyes, blood was seeping through her fingers as she tried to maintain pressure on her bullet wound, it was a clean through and through, but it was apparent that she needed to go to the hospital. It was then she saw a flurry of blonde hair and JJ was suddenly in front of her having pushed pass their boss,
"There's an ambulance here, go and get yourself to the hospital," Hotch told her, the brunette nodded, and the JJ was helping her over to the ambulance where they applied some dressing so they could go to the hospital,
"I'm going with her, I'll call you guys with an update," JJ called sticking her head out of the ambulance not waiting for a response, as the doors closed, and they headed off to the hospital.
JJ knew that Emily did not like hospitals, from their past experiences there, she was aware that she didn't have a great past relationship with them and that their job hadn't helped that in any way. The brunette had been taken into surgery as soon as they had arrived, however as the bullet had gone clean through it hadn't taken very long and so the blonde hadn't had to worry for that long, when the doctor came out to tell her that she could go see her girlfriend she had shot of a quick text to the rest of the team giving them a quick update before following the doctor into the room Emily was in. Her shoulder was all patched up and her eyes were wide, a side effect to the drugs she was on, but other than that seemed like her usual self.
"Hey Jayj!" she called out waving,
"Hey Em," she said back wandering over to the bed and taking a seat next to it before grabbing a pale hand into her own,
"Hey doc, this is my girlfriend isn't she pretty!" Emily called to the doctor, causing the blonde to flush red,
"The drugs should wear off in a couple hours, but she'll need to stay overnight, if all is well, she can be checked out first thing tomorrow," the doctor informed JJ ignoring his patients comment,
"Thanks doctor, can I stay with her?" JJ asked glancing worriedly at her girlfriend not wanting her to have to stay in a place that made her so uncomfortable overnight by herself,
"Visiting hours finish at nine, but she can have one overnight visitor, we'll set you up a cot," he told her, a kind smile on his face,
"Thanks doctor," JJ said again gratefully, and with that he left the room promising to come check on his patient later.
The two sat in mostly silence for the next hour as Emily lightly dozed, after an hour though the brunette was coming down from the drugs and spoke
"JJ why are you here," Emily said her voice croaky,
"You were shot baby, you're in the hospital and you know when you get hurt, I always come as quickly as I can." JJ told her gently,
"Oh yeah," Emily responded, "JJ, I don't like hospitals," she confessed quietly,
"I know baby, but you'll be out of here in the morning and then we can go home, and I won't leave you here," the blonde reassured her,
"Promise?" Emily's voice was little, like her smaller side was coming out,
"I promise lovebug," JJ told her,
"Thank you, mama," Emily murmured before she fell back asleep again, and JJ hoped she would sleep through the night.
However, this was unfortunately not the case, Emily woke up in the middle of the night confused as to where she was. She took a moment to try and work out where she was before memories of the hours before came flooding back and the feeling of hospital filled her senses, the light was on in the hallway outside but still it was dark enough in the room to scare the brunette, all her senses her heightened being in the scary hospital conditions. Looking around frantically she saw a mop of golden hair, lying slightly lower down than her on what she could only imagine as being the most uncomfortable cot in the world. Once it had registered in her brain that was her mama made her decision,
"Mama!" the brunette cried out. At the cry JJ opened her eyes, it took a moment for them to adjust to the darkness and when they did, she sat up rubbing them and glancing around to see what woke her,
"Mama!" the cry came again, seeing her girl in distress the blonde stumbled off the cot and over to the bed where Emily sat up in,
"Hey baby, it's alright mama's here," she quickly reassured the girl moving to crouch down in front of her, and cradling her pale face in warm, tan hands,
"Mama, shoulder hurts," the brunette whined reaching up to grab at the bandages covering her wound, reacting fast the blonde grabbed the hand before it could reach the shoulder,
"No baby, don't grab that, that's to help you feel better," the blonde told her gently, before kissing the hand in her grasp,
"But mama, I hurt," Emily cried, JJ felt her heart break,
"I know sweet girl, I'm so sorry you hurt," JJ told her, squeezing her hand tightly,
"Kisses mama?" Emily asked,
"Of course, baby," JJ responded glad she could give her girl something, in quick succession the blonde placed rapid kisses all over the brunette's face until the girl broke out into cute giggles,
"There she is," the blonde said softly, gently running her hand through dark hair.
"Is there anything else I can do baby?" the blonde questioned gently, Emily wished she could have some of her little things, but she knew that wasn't an option,
"Snuggles mama, I'm tired," the brunette said, she just wanted to be held, even if it irritated her shoulder,
"Okay pumpkin, we can do that, anything you need first, potty? Water?" the blonde asked, wanting her girl to sleep comfortably for the rest of the night, Emily thought about it for a moment,
"Potty mama," she told her caregiver,
"Come on then love bug, lets go," the blonde helped her girl up from the bed and guided her to the attached bathroom, once inside JJ closed the door and lowered her girl onto the toilet,
You've got this pumpkin, go pee," the blonde encouraged gently. Emily nodded and a look of concentration come across the brunette's face, after a moment when nothing happened the brunette spoke up quietly,
"Circles please mama," she asked gently, her face blushing red. JJ nodded and crouched down to rub soothing circles on the brunette's lower stomach, she knew Emily was anxious and that sometimes stopped her from peeing, so she applied a little more pressure than normal, after a few moments a steady stream could be heard, but JJ didn't stop until she was done,
"Amazing job baby, thank you for telling me what you needed, that was ve3ry big of you my good girl" the blonde praised. Emily instantly beamed at the praise and allowed JJ to help her up and flush for her before leading her over to the sink where they washed their hands. When they were done the two headed back over to the bed. JJ helped her in first making sure she was as comfortable as she could be, before sliding in carefully next to her, Emily immediately cuddled into her side,
"Careful pumpkin," the blonde reminded her gently, but Emily didn't seem to hear, already falling asleep. Seeing her girl was comfortable JJ closed her eyes as well and she to eventually falling asleep, both of them safe for now in each other's embraces.
And the next day if team entered the hospital and saw the two of them snuggled up together and if Derek took a sneaky picture to send to Garcia, well nobody cared.
