Reid's Pov:

JJ and I are sitting outside of her house waiting for the ambulance.

"I'm not sure if you want to go back to the house after that, since 83% of victims of domestics don't like to go back to the place where the incident occurred. So, your welcome to come and stay with me for a while." I say.

"Are you actually offering or just being polite?" she replies

"I'm actually offering." I say

"Would we bother you? I know how much you like to read." She asks.

"Your just trying to make excuses. Someone needs to make sure that you'll actually take the meds the doctors prescribe you." I say.

"I don't need a babysitter, Spence." She says, smiling.

"You will. I'll go get Henry then, we'll go inside and get some of your things." I say. I walk over to my car and grab Henry from the backseat.

"Where's Mommy?" Henry asks after I pick him up.

"Mommy is over here." I say and we walk over to JJ. I put Henry down and he hugs JJ.

"I was scared, Mommy" Henry says to JJ.

"I'm sorry that you were scared. We are gonna stay with Uncle Spencer's for awhile." She says

"Yay! I like Uncle Spencer's house." He says, happily. We walk inside and up to JJ's room. She begins to throw some clothes in a suitcase.

"You know that you still have some clothes at my apartment from when you helped me get over my addiction." I say

"Oh yeah. Do you remember what I have over their?" She asks

"You have 3 sets of work clothes, 4 regular outfits, 2 sets of pajamas, a pair of sneakers, and 2 pairs of heels." I say

"In that case, I only need a few things" she says and walks into the bathroom. A couple of minutes later, she walks back into the room with her toiletries bag. I grab her bags and put them into my car while she packs a suitcase for Henry. I go inside and meet her at the top of the stairs and take the bags she is holding.

"Thanks" She says. we walk get outside and the ambulance is there.

"Go. You need medical attention. I'll take Henry and we'll meet you there." I say. JJ goes and sits in the back of the ambulance.

"Do you want me go see if Emily will ride with you?" I ask her and she nods. Henry and I walk over to Emily and tell her that JJ wants her to ride in the ambulance with her. We walk back over to my car and I buckle Henry in his car seat. The ambulance drives away so, I turn the car on and follow.


I get out of my car and get Henry, who has fallen asleep, from his car seat. I walk into the hospital and up to the desk.

"How may I help you sir?" The lady behind the desks says.

"Hi I'm Supervisory Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid." I say and show her my badge " I'm here for Jennifer Jareau."

"Just give me a second..." she says while typing on her computer "It'll be about 30 minutes. Can you please fill out these visitor passes for you and the kid?"

"Sure but, can I at least get an update on how she is doing" I ask.

"Sorry sir, that type of information isn't in my computer." she says and walks over to a stack of files she was sorting before. I go and sit by Emily.

"Did you get an update?" Emily asks.

"Nope I was only told that it would be a half hour wait." I say, disappointed. " I tried to show her my badge but, she still didn't have information to give. I was so disappointed it usually always works."

"I know what you mean. I guess we are so used to getting more information than most people that when we don't, it just, you know, feels weird." Emily says

"Actually, when it comes to medical records, we get the same information as regular people, just faster."

"I would ask why you know that but I think the shorter answer would be what don't you know."

"Any visitors for Jennifer Jareau can go in. She's in room 314." A nurse says.

"Thanks" I say to her and we walk in.

"Hey" I say and smile at her.

"Hey guys" JJ says.

"How are you feeling?" Emily asks and sits on the side of the bed.

"I hate all of this attention. You know all of the nurses and doctors floating in." JJ says

" Wait. Morgan told me that girls like attention." I says, truly confused.

"They like attention from the guy they like Spence, not unnecessary attention." JJ say. That makes more sense, I thought to myself. I pick up JJ's chart and read to see what her injuries are.

"Actually. you do need all of this attention. According to your chart, you have a concussion, two broken ribs, and 13 stitches on your forehead." I say.

"Uncle Spencer?" Henry says groggily. "Is Mommy okay?"

"Yeah, Mommy is okay. See, she's right there." I says and point to where JJ is.

"Hi buddy" JJ says

"Mommy!" Henry says happily and I put him on JJ's bed.

"Were you good for Uncle Spencer?" JJ asks. Henry nods.

" Do you want to sleepover Uncle Spencer's?" JJ says and Henry nods again.

"Hey JJ, I'm gonna go see when they'll discharge you." I say and go find a nurse.


Emily's Pov:

"So, JJ how long with you be staying with Reid?" I ask curiously.

"I don't know why?" she replies.

"Cause we are going to need something to talk about at girls brunch Saturday." I say.

"Why do you think that something interesting enough will happen to talk about at brunch?" She says, almost defensively.

"Because, with you and Reid's past something will happen and we will want to know." I replied, making it sound like high school gossip.

"JJ you can go. they just want you to fill out a few forms first." Reid says, handing her a clipboard.

"Mama" Henry says.

"Yes baby" JJ says.

"Can I go to girls brunch with you?" Henry asks.

"I don't know. Maybe, you can ask Uncle Spencer if he'll take you to a boys brunch." JJ says. Henry turns and looks at Reid.

"Uncle Spencer, can we go to boys brunch?" Henry asks.

"Sure" Spencer says "Where do you want to go Henry?" Spencer says.

"I'm going to change then we can go." JJ says walking into the bathroom.

"So, what do you guys talk about at girls brunch that JJ does want Henry to know about?" Reid asks.

"Now that, my friend, is classified information." I reply swiftly.

"Who do you guys talk about?" Reid asks, determined to find out something about girls brunch.

"Just drop it, Reid." I say.

"Okay. I'm ready to go" JJ says grabbing her bag and Henry.

We leave the hospital and get in Spencer's car. It was a quiet ride to my apartment but, that might have been because Henry was sleeping and it was 1 in the morning.
