Chapter 11
The Healing
"Jayje! Your responding!" Derek shouted. A nurse and a doctor quickly came in.
"Jennifer how are you feeling?" The doctor asked.
"Um better I think." JJ said confused.
"Well thats good I think," He said smiling, "I am going to check your blood pressure while the nurse pricks your finger to check your blood." He walked over closer and grabbed JJ's arm.
"NO! Don't touch me! Please don't hurt me!" JJ cried. She tried to get out of the bed, but Morgan and the nurse wouldn't let her. She started to kick and scream violently.
"Please don't hurt me! No! No, no, no!" JJ yelled. It took several minutes for JJ to calm down.
"I am going to go get a female doctor." He whispered in Morgans ear and left the room. JJ was still crying.
"Aw JJ it's okay. He is gone now. Please don't cry." Morgan said rubbing her back in circular motions while she cried into his shoulder.
"Im sorry. I didn't mean to freak out. I thought he was going to hurt me. . .I'm sorry." JJ mumbled.
"Your okay Jayje. You didn't do anything wrong." Morgan said, still trying to soothe her fears. An older female doctor walked in.
"Hello Jennifer. Are you feeling alright now?" The doctor asked. Her voice was oddly soothing. JJ nodded slightly. "Would it be alright if I checked your blood pressure?" She asked. Again JJ nodded and held out her bruised arm. She checked her blood quickly and left the room. There was silence for a long time, neither knowing what to say.
"I will let you be now." Morgan said standing up to leave the room. It killed him inside. All he wanted was to stay and be with JJ, to make sure she was okay. But he knew she needed time and space.
"No. Please stay." JJ begged trying to keep the fear out of her voice, "I don't want to be alone." She nearly whispered the last part.
"Of course." Morgan said and sat back down.
"So I guess you know what happened." JJ said, staring at her hands.
"And it doesn't even matter. We will get through this. I love you so much. You know that right?" Morgan said. JJ didn't answer.
"Look at me Jayje. I do. I love you more than I ever have. And it makes me sick to think about what those bastards did to you. I want nothing more than to kill their sorry ass. I thought I had lost you. I don't know how I would have gone on. Your the best thing in my life. I love you Jennifer Jareau." Morgan finished.
"I love you too Derek. You have no idea what it means to me to hear you say that." JJ said her eyes filling with tears, "I swear I have never cried so damn much in my life." JJ said trying to make a joke in the awful situation. Morgan smiled and leaned in to kiss her. She backed away slightly.
"Im sorry. It's just going to have to take some getting used to." JJ said disappointed. Morgan nodded.
"I understand." He said backing away.
"I didn't mean don't kiss me. I'm ready now." She said. Morgan cave a small chuckle before leaning in and kissing her porcelain lips.
Hotch walked out of Emily's room so that someone else could see her. Both Garcia and Reid went in since now two people could see her at a time. She was still asleep so Garcia and Reid took a seat next to her bed. After about 10 minutes Emily's eyes slowly fluttered open.
"I knew there was someone in my room." She said with a sleepy voice.
"You got me." Garcia joked.
"How are you?" Reid asked.
"I am alright. First time I have been stabbed. I gotta say hurts like hell. Don't try it." She joked with her coworkers.
"I am so glad you are okay." Garcia said. Tears beginning to well up in her eyes.
"Hey now, no crying here. I am fine and I will be back to work in no time." Emily said smiling. Garcia nodded. "Uh how is JJ?" Emily asked, obviously very worried.
"We haven't seen her yet. Morgan is still in there. But she did come out of her catatonic shock." Reid said.
"Good. I was so worried about her. How is her emotional state do you know?" Emily asked.
"I don't, but probably about how you'd imagine." Reid shuffled his feet.
"Poor Jayje." Garcia mumbled.
"She will be okay. She is strong." Emily said. Both of them nodded. They were silent for a long time. Emily finally fell asleep again and Reid and Garcia quietly left the room. Rossi went in next but she never woke up while he was in there. He just sat quietly and watched her even breathing. Hotch came in next and sat down. After a few minutes he started to nod off but was quickly awakened by the sound of screaming. He looked over at Emily to make sure she was alright but she was still sound asleep. The screaming was coming from another room. He walked over to the doorway and looked outside. It was coming from JJ's room. He saw Morgan get thrown out of the room and the door slam shut.
"What's going on?" Hotch asked, very concerned.
"We were both sleeping there, content, and she started to scream, I figured she was having a nightmare so I tried to gently wake her up. She began to hyperventilate then stopped breathing all together. They are in there doing CPR right now." Morgan's voice cracked. He turned his head, then out of nowhere brought up his fist and hit the wall as hard as he could. He grunted then slid to the ground putting his head in his hands and between his knees. Hotch patted him all the shoulder.
"It's alright." He said trying to help the younger agent. The doctor came out of JJ's room.
"Agent Morgan?" He asked.
"That's me." He said standing up.
"We were able to calm her down and get her breathing again. She is asking for you." The doctor said then turned and walked away. Morgan went back into JJ's room while Hotch went back to Emily's room.
"JJ, honey, what happened?" Morgan asked.
"I had a nightmare." JJ sobbed, "They were doing it again." JJ sobbed even louder.
"No sweetheart they are gone. I won't let anyone hurt you ever again. I promise." Morgan said grabbing her hand. She flinched at the touch but soon relaxed. He put his other arm around her shoulder and pulled her in close to his chest. She tensed, but again relaxed into his warm embrace.
"Will I ever be okay?" She asked.
"Of course not sweetie. Your in a relationship with me." Morgan said trying to make her laugh. He succeeded and heard a little giggle come from JJ's small mouth.
"Oh Derek Morgan you never cease to amaze me." JJ said, falling asleep in his loving arms.
Should I do more healing? Like more after math and back at home getting into the groove of things? Or end it here? Let me know! Please!(:
