JJ'S P.O.V

I open my eyes and see Emily staring back at me. "How long have you been awake?" I ask.

"I don't know, but Morgan was here earlier and I think Reid was here sometime last night. I woke up to somebody closing the door.." Emily says.

I nod. "Okay has Rossi been here?" I ask.

She smiles. "I found this stuck to you earlier." She says holding up a note.

JJ, Emily,

I was here around 9;00 and you were still sleeping, I wanted to see how you're doing but I guess that's gonna have to wait until later.

-Rossi

I let out a little laugh and put the note on the table behind me. "Good morning." I say.

Smiling Emily leans forward and kisses me. Pulling back I realize something is sitting on the table. I turn my head and realize there is a tray sitting on the table. "Em, your breakfast is here." I say. She nods. "I haven't eaten anything since that Jell-o a few days ago." She says.

"Yeah I know, which is why you are going to eat something." I say, swinging my legs off of the bed. Putting my feet on the floor I realize my shoes are off. Oh well. I think.

I walk over to the table and grab the strip of paper that tells us what Emily is about to eat. "Pancakes." I say grabbing the tray.

"Pancakes?" She asks sitting up a little bit.

I nod. "Yes Emily. Pancakes." I say.

I walk over to her and put the tray down on the table beside the bed. "You eat this, I'm gonna sit here and wake up." I say.

She shakes her head. "Do you want some?" She asks opening the tray.

"No, Em, I'm not really that hungry." I say. Okay I lied but it's not a huge lie, she needs to eat. I'm fine.

Right as she picks up the fork the doctor walks into the room. "Good morning Agent Prentiss, how are you feeling?" He asks.

Emily puts her fork down and smiles. "I'll feel a lot better once I am out of this place." She says.

He smiles. "Well then your good morning is about to turn into a great morning. Your wound is healing nicely so I have decided to let you go home early. On one condition. You have to stay with somebody full time until you have been cleared for duty." He says.

I look up. "She can stay with me." I say.

The doctor looks to me and nods. "Let me go finish off the paperwork and then you can go."

"Thank you." I say as he walks out of the room.

I grab my phone out of my pocket and send a text to Hotch.

Hey, Emily is able to go home but she has to stay with somebody until she's been cleared. She needs full time care for at least a month, and I was wondering if that could be my vacation time, since she is gonna be staying with me. -JJ

I look over the text before hitting the send button. I barley have a chance to get my phone into my pocket before it starts buzzing.

Go ahead JJ, she needs you right now, I'll drop by your place later. -Hotch

Okay, thanks Hotch- JJ

I put my phone down and look at Emily. "I have a month to nurse you back to health." I say.

Her eyes go wide. A month Jen? You are gonna let me stay with you for a month?" She asks me.

I nod. "That was my plan." I say.

The doctor walks back in with some paperwork for us to sign and says we can go. Putting Emily in a wheelchair to get her to the front door is difficult but we finally manage to do you and I help her to the car.

She gets in the passenger side of my car (which Morgan brought to me) and closes the door.

I walk around and get in the other side. Placing a hand on her thigh as I start the car I smile as I feel her hand on top of mine. I turn to look at her. "I love you." I say.

She looks at me and smiles. "I love you too.

I know I promised this chapter would be longer than the last one but seeing as it's midnight and I my brain like stopped thinking properly I had to stop.

But seriously, the next chapter will be longer.
