*Okay as always I own nothing of Criminal Minds or Rizzoli & Isles just enjoying using the characters.

Emily had sit straight up in the bed after screaming. JJ slid out of the bed and opened the door knowing other team members may of heard the scream and would be coming to check everything out. She was afraid of them knocking on the door which might sound like distant gun fire to Emily. She needed to gage if it was a night mare, PTSD or a night mare that was leading into a PTSD moment so she was being very cautious.

Pen was the first to hit the door and started to turn on the light. "No Pen..." JJ whispered yelled, "...leave it out and catch anyone else." The woman understood and caught Hotch and Morgan before they entered the room. "Em...honey it's Jennifer."

"They bloody killed her. The wankers just plucked her up like a bloody trollop and wasted her like it was nothing. I knew my onions but didn't know personnel was bent as a nine bob note. Makes me feel like a damp squib. It really makes me need to honk." She said as she ran to the bathroom.

"What did she just say?" Morgan looked at JJ who shook her head. "She was talking about Kia and the the circumstances that got her killed." Pen said smiling that she knew enough British slang to explain Emily's words to the team.

"We should have known..." JJ said as she heard the first heave into the toilet that cleared the room of the rest of them. In the hall Hotch asked, "Pen what did JJ mean we should have known?"

"Maura has been worried that as the birth of Bella nears that Emily will have more PTSD symptoms and episodes."

"Hotch is it wise to have her here?" Morgan asked concerned.

"Hey Morgan she is still Emily and she can hold her own with anybody." Pen said getting protective of her friend. "Alright little mamma I'm just concerned for her is all." His said backing down.

"Pen did Maura elaborate on anything specific?"

"No sir."

He thought a moment about what to do. "Okay I need everyone to listen up. Emily goes no where without one of us with her. Is that clear? This whole case is a powder keg waiting to explode in this city and we do not need her condition possibly setting it off." He said as everyone was trying to motion him to stop because Emily had opened the door and was standing right behind him and heard every word he said. He turned and she looked at him then without saying a word slammed the door shut in everyone's face. He closed his eyes to regroup a moment and started to knock but Pen caught his hand. "Sir let JJ work on her tonight then you can talk to her in the morning. Emily isn't fun after these episodes trust me." He looked at her for a moment and nodded his head in agreement.

"You calling regular pregnant Emily fun baby girl?" Morgan asked trying to lighten the mood up some. They all looked at him for a moment and started laughing. "Let's get some sleep. Hopefully JJ can work her magic with Emily before morning." He said shaking his head and walking to his room. Rossi caught up to him at his door, "Aaron give her some room. You know how the guilt feels when you think you are responsible for the death of your wife but really you are not."

"I know Dave and that's what scares me the most for her and this team." He said looking at the man with a serious look. "Good night Dave."

"Good night Aaron." He said and looked back at Emily's door wondering if he should call Elizabeth or not.

It had taken JJ over two hours to finally get Emily back to sleep. She had suggested calling Maura but the woman refused, not wanting to upset her as well. JJ tried to reason with her about Hotch's speech with excuse after excuse as to why the man said what he said but Emily still just looked off in the distance not saying a word which scared her more than if she would have been enraged or yelled.

She finally gave up and crawled in behind the woman deciding to at least hold her giving her support that way. She pulled Emily back against her chest and when the woman's head hit the St Michael's necklace she was wearing an answer suddenly came to her mind. She pulled her phone out and looked up the Italian folk song that Carolina use to sing to Emily. She scanned YouTube until she found Jerry Lewis singing "Dormi" and played it. Eventually she started humming with her phone as the woman laying back on her began to relax and finally drift off to sleep.

JJ laid awake an hour more thinking about everything that had happened on what started out as just another day at the office. She thought about the time she spent on the mountain with Emily after reading Carolina's letter and wondered if Maura had read any of her journals that the dead woman wrote before her death. "What was it about this case that had both Em and Maura so wigged out?" She asked in her head over and over. Of course it was another child abduction case and Emily was pregnant but it seemed like so many other cases they had been on. There had to be more than what they were telling her.

She fell asleep thinking that she really needed for Emily to open up to her and talk but Hotch's comment in the hall may have shut the woman totally down from anyone being able to talk to her. He was her mentor at the B.A.U. The one she would reflect on during a case thinking, "What would Hotch do or ask," if she needed to clear her mind. Now she heard him put into question her ability to be professional at her job because of PTSD. She just knew tomorrow was going to be a burger of a day with the case alone but now with this in the mix she might need some help from her predecessor warrior mate to be what Emily needed in her. "I hope your still watching Carolina cause it's going to get ugly around here I'm afraid and I could use your help," was her final thought/prayer before dreams pulled her under to the netherworld.
