A/N Its the last chapter

AJ x

After hours spent trying to track down Walter Blaine and not getting very far, the team decided it was time to sleep.

They all except for Emily and JJ managed to get into their beds at around 3AM only to be woken some hours later by another one of JJ's nightmares.

"Its ok JJ, it's just a dream, wake up for me." Emily stroked JJ's damp hair off her sweaty face.

"Is she ok?" Garcia asked joining Emily by the bed.

"No. this is the second one she's had tonight. She had the first a few hours after you all went to the lodge." Emily looked over her shoulder to see everyone up and Hotch and Morgan walking over to them.

"Emily Help!" JJ yelled.

"C'mon JJ wake up, were here." Garcia grabbed JJ's hand and rubbed it as the first few droplets of blood dripped out of JJ's nose and down her cheek.

"Damit. C'mon" Emily was starting to tear up with worry "Listen to my voice Jayje. Follow my voice." JJ stopped thrashing round and was just moaning "That's it, good girl." She stopped moaning and her eyes started to flicker open.

"Hey Cupcake." Garcia smiled from ear to ear but her eyes stayed filled with worry.

JJ looked round and saw 6 sets of eyes gazing at her "I'm sorry I woke you all." She sat up and quickly regretted it when an immense amount of pain shot threw her ribs.

"Don't be, its ok." Hotch rubbed he leg.

"How are you holding up?" Morgan handed her a tissue. JJ grabbed it and gently wiped away the blood she could feel on her face.

"I just want to go home." Tears filled her eyes.

"We will as soon as the sun rises but JJ I want you to go and see a doctor when we get back." Emily said and the others all nodded in agreement.

"No, I don't need to. It's just some bruised ribs." JJ shook her head.

"That's not what the nurse said and it's not what I'm talking about." Emily gave her a stern look, one that would give Hotch a run for his money "I mean the nose bleeds JJ. It's all the stress it can't be good for your body."

"Its ok when we get home they'll stop."

"JJ" Hotch used his boss voice.

"No Hotch before you say anything else. Look at our job, it's one of the most stressful things in the world and before we came here when was the last time you saw me with a nose bleed?"

"She's got a point." Raid interjected from the other side of the room.

"Honestly as soon as we get home and I put all this behind me it'll stop."

"Fine, but if I see any sight of it again or that you can't handle the stress of the job I will personally throw you over my shoulder and take you to the hospital myself. Clear?" JJ would have tried arguing with Hotch but she knew she wouldn't win.

"As crystal." She smiled at him "You all look exhausted. Get some sleep I'm going to take a shower."

"Jayje…" Emily said looking at the blonde.

"Please, you've got…" JJ looked at her watch "5 hours till sunrise."

"Ok" Emily kissed JJ's forehead "if you need anything just come and wake me."

"Ok, I will."

6 hours later a fully dressed and packed BAU team walked into the Lodge.

"Are you all packed?" Sophie handed out the cups of coffee to the sleepy looking team.

"Yeah, we've got everything." JJ gave her a tired smile.

"All the old Cliffhangers and Peter walked into the Lodge.

"How you feeling?" Peter stepped up next to his wife and asked JJ.

"I'm in a bit of pain but other than that everything's ok." Peter raised an eyebrow at her "Really Peter."

"Hmmm ok." Peter pulled JJ into a hug "It's been good to see you kid." He whispered in her ear and pulled back "don't be a stranger anymore. Call us, come and visit if you get the chance."

"I'd like that." A warm smile crossed JJ's face.

"We'll take you bag to the car JJ." Hotch took her bag from her hand "Take your time." He winked.

The other members of the BAU said their goodbye's and thankyou's to the camp councilors and Cliffhangers and walked to the door.

"erm…Hang on." Peter and Sophie walked towards them "I would like a word."

"Ok." Hotch gave Rossi an odd look.

"What do you think that's about?" Juliette asked.

"I'm sure I could think of a few reasons." JJ turned back to her old team members "I know it's not enough but I am really sorry I abandoned you all the way I did."

"Its ok lost girl were all just glad your ok." Ezra pulled JJ into a hug.

"Yeah" once Ezra pulled away Auggi held her tight "And were so proud of you Shel."

"You made something of your self. You have an amazing job and from what we can see an amazing family." Kat hugged JJ as tears started to fill her eyes.

JJ pulled away and looked at the three people than made a massive impact on her life.

"Jules, I'm sorry for the things I called you…" JJ stopped when Juliette almost pounced on her.

"Don't be sorry. Its ok, I understand now you were scared and you never meant any of it." Juliette whispered in JJ's ear.

"You're going to make a great mum." JJ winked at her and took a step back "Scott, I did love you know."

"Really?" A flicker of hope filled his eyes.

"Yeah, other than Peter you were the first guy I ever trusted after everything that happened, you understood some of the things I was going threw. You were my first love and you will always have a special place in my heart." Scott pulled JJ close to his chest and she rested her head listening to his heart beat.

"I will always love you Shel, nothing is ever going to change that." Scott whispered and kissed the top of her head. He took a step back and JJ turned to Daisy. They locked eyes for a few seconds not saying anything just remembering how each other used to be.

"Are you still mad at me?" JJ knew the answer but she didn't know how else to start the convocation.

"Yes…" Daisy spat but upon seeing the hurt look in JJ's eyes she went "I am still mad at you…"

"Daisy!" Scott voice was heard from behind Daisy.

"Let me finish! I am still mad at you BUT I understand now why you did it and its ok. Just because you ran I never stopped seeing you as my best friend Shel. I was just hurt that you didn't think you could talk to me." She gave the beaten up blonde a sad smile.

"I didn't want to burden you with my problems; you were still dealing with the effects of your mother and father." A tear left JJ's eye.

"Oh Shelby…" Daisy held JJ tight "You were never a burden. I was always ready to listen and I always will be." Daisy pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to JJ "It's all out numbers and E-Mail addresses and if you don't keep in contact none of your friends over there will be able to stop me getting at you." Daisy gave her a big grin.

"I will, I promise." She folded the paper back up and put in the pocket of her jeans.

"We'll hold you to that." Daisy gave her one last hug.

"Right we had better get going." JJ and the old Cliffhangers all walked over to the SUV where the others were waiting for JJ.

"erm…Hang on." Peter and Sophie walked towards them "I would like a word."

"Ok." Hotch gave Rossi an odd look.

When they all reached the SUV Morgan and Hotch put the bags in and they all turned to look at Peter and Sophie.

"I just want to ask you to watch her." Peter had a concerned look on his face.

"Of course we would, you don't have to ask." Morgan was slightly offended that they were asked that.

"Why would you think we wouldn't?" Rossi asked in his defensive manor.

"Oh god, he wasn't trying to say wouldn't" Sophie said "Its just we know how this can and most likely will effect Shelby. She can do some silly things when she's hurting."

"We just wanted to make sure she was in safe hands, that's all." Peter gave them all an apologetic look.

"Their aren't any safer hands than ours." Garcia gave the older couple a warm smile.

"Good."

"The thing is she wont talk and I think you all realize that now." The BAU team nodded at Sophie's statement "So your going to have to make her talk."

"Writher it be by making her angry or locking her in a room with you until she dose."

"We understand." Hotch said.

"Their coming guys." Emily looked over her shoulder.

"Are we all set?" JJ asked her team.

"Yeah we were just waiting for you to finish." Garcia pulled JJ in to a much needed hug.

"We'll go and get in the car, Take your time JJ." Hotch gave her a kind smile and the BAU team climbed into their seats.

"Thankyou." JJ whispered looking down at the ground.

"What for Shel, we didn't do anything." Peter wrapped an arm round the blondes shoulders.

"For making everything easier than it should have been."

"Don't be daft, were all just glad to have you back." Sophie said with a resounding yes from the others.

"Well." JJ took a deep breath "I guess I had best be going."

"Come here." Peter and Sophie pulled her into a hug "Were so proud of you Shelby, we love you." Sophie whispered in JJ's ear.

JJ pulled back and wiped away the tear that had fallen "I'll call you."

"Make sure you do." Peter watch JJ climb into the can and smile at them.

"She's going to be ok isn't she Peter?" Scott asked from behind as the car drove away.

"I think so."
