"Are you here to see Agent Hotchner and Miss Prentiss?" they asked.
"Yes," they answered getting up while Dave put his hand on Elizabeth's shoulder.
"How are they?" Dave asked.
"The bullet narrowly missed Agent Hotchner's heart and didn't cause any serious damage. Also thankfully we've managed to remove the bullet with minimal damage. He will have to stay in for a few days."
Dave nodded so thankful the bullet hadn't caused any serious damage. He'd tried his best to make sure the gunshot wouldn't give him any serious damage. He'd just had to stop him from hurting anyone else. The only damage that was serious was the damage caused by his antics under mind control.
"What about Emily?" Elizabeth asked nervously.
"She wasn't so lucky. The bullet lodged in her large intestine and we had to do some repair work. She'll have to be in a coma while she heals because it's such a delicate surgery and fed through a nutrient drip."
She nodded with a lump forming in her throat. "How long will she be out?"
"About three days."
She nodded numbly while Dave wrapped his arm around her trying to comfort her. He hoped she would forgive Aaron for what he did especially as he'd never have done it if he'd known what he was doing. Maybe he should encourage her to see a psychiatrist and encourage Emily too when she came round. He just felt sorry for her two young children as being so young wouldn't understand fully what was going on.
"May we see them?" he asked.
"Of course but it might be a bit upsetting for the children," the surgeon answered.
They nodded and she looked around unsure what to do. He was right Stella and Oliver shouldn't see their mother like this. It would only scare them as they were too young to understand. They were only four and two years old.
"I'll look after them for you," JJ said. "You should see your daughter."
She nodded and answered, "Thank you."
They all headed off to the room Aaron and Emily were sharing whilst JJ took Stella and Oliver to the park. They'd decided Jack would enough to go see his dad as he was twelve. They'd decided Aaron and Emily should share in the hope they would heal each other.
