CHAPTER 9

She doesn't feel anything but pain. Every part of her body is numb except for the pain in her shoulder and sides. She can hear a voice but can't make out the owner. The volume and thinking makes her head pound more. She opens her eyes but only hurts herself by the intense bright lights in her face.

She immediately shut them but that was a mistake. The second her eyes closed she saw nothing but darkness, felt nothing but numbness and heard nothing but a shrill beep.

"She's coding!"

Carrie stared at the wall behind Dr. Reynolds.

"Carrie?" She looked at him. "Do you want Chris to leave?"

"No."

"Why?"

Carrie stared at the wall again. "I don't know."

"Why do you think?"

"I don't know, I really don't know."

Dr. Reynolds nodded with a deep breath. "Why don't we end for today and we'll continue tomorrow."

"Sure." Carrie said walking out of the room.

Carrie found Chris on the phone pacing while bouncing Jack on her hip while he played with an action figure.

"Ok, yes, thank you for calling Morgan, I'll tell her, we'll be on the next flight with Garcia and we'll call Haley and let her know, yes we'll hurry, Morgan I heard you, we'll be there." Chris said exasperatingly. "Bye." She hung up and sighed.

"Is everything ok?" Carrie asked as Dr. Reynolds came out.

"Yeah, hey doc, we need to cancel her Friday, Saturday and Sunday appointments." Chris said.

"Is everything alright?" Dr. Reynolds asked as Chris shook her head.

"Mom's been shot."

JJ was restless. After they concluded that all the blood on her was not hers they released her. She couldn't just sit and wait though. She was pacing. The guys tried to get her to sit and calm down but she couldn't. She tried to drink something or eat but that didn't help. She was scared. Her mind was on overdrive.

Once the shooting started and one of the five of the shooters turned and fired in their direction Emily covered her with her body and rushed them to the ground. It had been two hours since they arrived to the hospital already and JJ was trying to think of Emily and what could happen. Her mind wandered to Chris and Carrie.

"Oh god!"

"What?" Rossi asked.

"Carrie and Chris."

Morgan rubbed her shoulder. "I called them on our way here, they're coming with Jack and Garcia, they should be boarding a plane by now."

"That quick?" Reid asked.

"Knowing what Emily has told me about Chris on our nights out Chris is probably raising hell and using the family name." JJ sighed with a small smile.

She didn't know how wrong she was. Chris was raising hell however, just not with at a ticket counter at the airport.

"I don't care how old I am not! The fact of the matter is that this is my family plane and I have the license to co-pilot, what I need is for you to get me a pilot and stop telling me how old I am not!"

"Chris, your parents' will says eighteen, I can't go against that." The man in front of her was a man at least in his late thirties. His brown eyes honest and his build told them that he looked younger than he was.

"No, the will says the company is not mine till I am eighteen and shall be ran by my cousin Matt, the assets however are in my command, do you really want to test me? My god-mother is in the hospital possibly bleeding to death, so unless you want to join her in the afterlife you are going to get me my damn pilot!" Chris yelled.

Garcia was covering Jack's ears as Chris argued and Carrie watched in amusement.

"Emily's hurt?" He asked as Chris rolled her eyes.

"I kept trying to tell you but you never let me finish." Chris said as the guy grabbed a pilot's cap and jacket.

"Let's go." He walked them to the hanger and opened the door.

"You have a co-pilot's license?" Carrie asked as Chris shook her head. "Then why did you say you had one?"

"I did." Chris said. "It was for a helicopter though." Chris said as Carrie and Garcia followed her into the jet.

"Chris knows where things are and please be seated and buckle up." The pilot; Mark said.

Chris got a child's seat for Jack and buckled it down. Garcia buckled Jack in while Chris and Carrie put their bags in the compartments assigned.

"Ladies, gentleman and Chris we are taking off in ten minutes so please buckle up and enjoy the flight."

Chris rolled her eyes but sat down and buckled up anyway.

"How are we getting in the air so fast? We didn't get a flight plan or anything." Garcia said as Chris smiled sheepishly.

"I may, or rather my family may own the tarmac we're on." Chris said as Garcia and Carrie gaped at her.

"What?"

"Sloan Industries?" Chris asked as Garcia stared.

"That's the family business?" Garcia asked as Chris nodded.

"The electronics company?" Carrie asked.

"That and firewall and virus protection programs, we also make car engines, and many other electronics, like amps and sound boards, lights and even surf boards in the beach areas." Chris said.

"I didn't think there was any relation." Garcia said.

"I only told you my family was business people who passed away in an accident; I never told you who they were exactly." Chris said as the jet jerked forward and made its way across the tarmac.

When the plane landed Mark asked if he was staying or flying back alone. Chris told him he could head back and they would fly back with the rest of the BAU. They said their goodbyes and headed to the front where Morgan was waiting for them. They tossed their bags into the trunk and Chris buckled the car seat from the plane in to the middle of the backseat.

"Thanks for this Morgan." Chris said as she and Carrie buckled their seat belts.

"No problem baby girl." Morgan said driving off to the hospital.

Once they arrived Chris handed Jack off to Hotch who smiled at the sight of his son. Jack smiled and hugged his father before saying he missed him.

"How is she?" Carrie asked hugging JJ.

"They won't tell us." JJ said.

"They wouldn't?" Chris asked as JJ shook her head.

"They said family unless stated differently in her medical proxy." JJ sighed.

"Did they read the proxy?" Chris asked.

"I don't know, why?" JJ asked.

"Because after you it's me." Chris said. "Actually I take that back, she rearranged it, it's you then Aunt P." Chris said as JJ stared in confusion.

"Why me?" JJ asked.

"You were the closest she was to on the team, Aunt P because she knew about me." Chris said.

"Then why wouldn't they tell JJ anything?" Rossi asked.

"I am going to find that out right now." Chris said walking to the nurse's station. Ten minutes later a doctor came up.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, who is the daughter?" he asked.

"I am, actually I'm her god-daughter and this is her foster daughter, I'm Chris and this is Carrie." Chris pointed.

"And Ms. Jareau?"

"That's me." JJ piped up.

"And Ms. Garcia?"

"Present."

"Ok, Agent Prentiss sustained three bullet wounds, two in her right rib cage and one through her left shoulder, the two in her ribs missed anything vital but the one in her shoulder was really close to her heart."

"Is she ok?" Chris and JJ asked in unison.

"Yes, we repaired the damage and she is currently resting."

"That's good, when can she leave?" Chris asked.

"Excuse me? It is in best interest that she stays." Even the team was curious about the urgency.

"I understand that, but she hates hospitals and always has since she was fifteen." Chris said as the doctor pursed his lips.

"I understand, she should be able to leave in about three days, we want to make sure she heals properly." He said as Chris nodded and he left.

"I hate him." Garcia said bluntly as they all nodded.

An hour later a nurse walked in and said Emily was awake and asking for JJ.

JJ knocked softly on the door and Emily smiled seeing her.

"How are you feeling?" JJ asked shutting the door and taking a seat on one of the plastic chairs.

"Better, are you ok?" Emily asked as JJ nodded.

"Yeah, Chris and Carrie are here if you want to see them." JJ said pointing to the door.

"When did they get here?" Emily asked.

"An hour ago, why am I on your medical proxy?" JJ asked as Emily blushed slightly.

"You saw that?"

"No, they wouldn't tell us anything, Chris told me when she got here and learned we knew nothing about your condition."

"When can I leave, I hate hospitals." Emily grumbled as JJ giggled. It was like music to Emily's ears. "What?" She was curious.

"Chris told the doctor the same thing when she asked when you could leave." JJ said.

"Oh."

"How are you feeling really?" JJ asked.

"Honestly I feel like crap, but when it went down I was scared shitless." Emily said honestly.

"Of course you were, I was." JJ said as Emily shook her head.

"I wasn't scared for me." Emily began. "I was scared for you."

"Why?"

"Because if anything had happened to you I would never forgive myself." Emily said looking at her hands that were sitting on her lap.

Chris finished calling her two bosses telling them she wasn't going to make it to work and they told her to take her time. She looked to Carrie and sighed.

"Morgan?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I borrow the car?"

"For what?"

"Get away, Carrie looks like she could use some air." Chris said as Morgan handed her the keys. "Thanks." He nodded and Chris extended a hand to Carrie.

"Where are we going?" Carrie asked.

"Do you trust me?" Chris asked as Carrie looked between her sincere face and offered hand. She sighed and took her hand. Chris pulled her up and led her out of the hospital. "Come on." Chris said opening the passenger door for her.

"Where are we going?" Carrie repeated.

"Anywhere." Chris shrugged. "You looked like you needed some air and out of there." Chris said jabbing her thumb at the hospital before closing the door.

Carrie looked at her grateful and smiled. Her conversation with Dr. Reynolds came to mind about Chris and she was starting to figure it out a bit.

"Emily, you risked your life for me, I owe you my life." JJ said.

"You don't understand JJ." Emily groaned sagging into the stiff hospital bed.

"Then help me." JJ said as Emily took a deep breath.

"It's complicated." Emily said.

"Un-complicate it for me."

"I don't know how to say it." Emily said wiping her face with her hands.

"Then write it down."

"No words can explain it." Emily said.

"Then show me." JJ said taking Emily's hand.

Emily pulled JJ closer to her.

JJ's heart sped up and she was sure it was gonna burst out of her chest when Emily lifted her head.

They could feel each other's breath on their lips.

JJ couldn't believe this was actually happening.

Emily knew if she didn't do it now she never would.

Their lips met briefly before they jumped apart at the sound of the door swinging open.

Someone must always ruin the moment. Poor Emily and JJ.

Review Please. :-)
