Rossi's face was stained with tears. Emily and Reid held him back as his daughter walked down the hallway. He wailed louder as she began to knock on the door but stopped mid-movement and fell to the ground in tears. "Why?" He cried. All he wanted to do was reach over to her and hold her. This wasn't right. Why couldn't he be there for her?

The woman's face looked cold as she finally made it up and found herself to knock on the door. Rossi went over to touch her shoulder, but then the door opened and she fell into Hotch's arms. Hotch held her, comforting her, telling her it would be all right. Rossi thanked his friend. He never did disappoint when you needed him most.

"This isn't fair." Joy sobbed into Hotch's shoulder. "I just got to meet him. I finally had my father. Why'd he get taken from me now?" She just sat there crying for awhile. Eventually Will gave up his seat on the couch and JJ and him helped Joy up into the couch.

The group was silent for a while, and Rossi decided that he needed to go comfort Joy. Emily showed him how to do it, and apologised to the cat again. He just purred and rubbed against their legs. Rossi felt numb in the tiny body, and it was immediately hard to steer, but after a minute he got the hang of it. Emily and Rossi left the bedroom and saw Reid just watching the others from the kitchen table. Emily fluffed his hair as the cat pounced onto the couch and found itself purring in Joy's lap.

Everyone was becoming really kinda freaked out by this cat by now, but it was really comforting to them. It was nice to feel like they were still with them in a way. Joy let out a little laugh as the cat began to lick her face. She started petting the cat and whispered into his ear, "I love you too, Dad." He smiled, and just purred as she petted the soft cat's skin. It felt nice, but it was still really wierd.

"I have to call Diana." Aaron's voice was shaky and tense. He really didn't want to do that, but he knew it was what he had to do next. How did he relay that kind of information? Did he tell her nurse, talk to her, what? She would be completely heart-broken. Spencer was all she had left.

This sudden revelation from Hotch grabbed Reids attention. He hadn't gotten his mind off of his mother-but he didn't want to think about her really being called. Tears swelled up in his eyes and he felt Emily grab his hand and hold it tight.

"You should wait until morning, Hotch. We've made enough calls tonight." JJ said as Will petted JJ's leg. It was obvious how sorry he felt for her. But he was also feeling really sorry for himself. He had loved Reid. The guy was his son's godfather for heaven's sake. Henry had dressed up as him for Halloween. What was he supposed to tell Henry? He had just lost three of his friends, Henry and JJ had lost part of thier family.

Reid breathed a sigh of relief. At least now he wouldn't have to bear witness to this. "Tomorrow I'll call Jackson as well." Now it was Emily's turn to tense. It wasn't a plesent thought for her either.

"We should get going. We have to pick up Henry before it gets dark." Will said, him and JJ standing up. They all hugged each other. The others watched in despair, longing for thier friends, wanting them not to leave. They wanted to be part of the hugging precession. They wanted to be alive with them. It seemed as if it was going to take forever for the couple to get out the door. And when they did, Emily's spirit vanished into the oblivion- or so the others thought. In all honesty, she was being pulled along with JJ and Will.

"NO!" Rossi screamed as he watched his friend dissingrate in front him. Reid just stood there in shock.

"You were brave in there." Emily could barely make out what Will was saying as she woke up in the back of Will's car. All she saw was Will taking one hand off the steering wheel and placing it on JJ's thigh. It took her a moment to relize exactly where she was and why, but as the memories started flooding back it became clear.

The first memory to come back was the accident. All she could remember was Reid flying through the windshield and then Rossi's head banging into the steering wheel. She examined her body for remnants of the accident but there were none. And as she started to piece together the other part of her day she came to the relisation. She was dead. D-E-A-D. For real this time. This was no fake. This time there was no cold, bitter darkness. There was sunshine and cars and JJ.

And as to answer all of the questions that had been burning in her mind as she woke up, she watched as a man appeared beside her. It took her a bit to process who it was. When she did, she felt her entire heart flip. "Ian?" The name was barely able to pass her lips, and did so with extreme anger.

She was peirced against the back of the van, and as Ian reached out his hand to comfort her. She bit it. He laughed, not in any pain what-so-ever. "You always have been a biter," he joked, alluding to the days that they were once a couple. He could see the anger rising within her. But he could also see the fear. "Oh, don't worry my darling. I'm not going to hurt you. I can't hurt you." He smirked. "I'm here to help you."

"I don't need your help," she growled through her teeth. But she kind of knew she needed his help. She had to make sense of all of this. She just wanted the help from anyone but him.

He just laughed. "Sure you don't." He said sarcastically. "Why don't you just go ahead and ask me what you need?" He let out a menacing smile.

"Why am I here?" She said, her entire body still pierced on the back of the van.

"You died in a car accident. For real this time." You could tell the anger in his voice because of this, and Emily found the door handle lodging in her back, but it caused her no pain. She gave him a look in his eyes, showing that he knew what she meant. "You're here to be her gaurdian angel."

"Forever?" She asked, knowing JJ couldn't live for eternity. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Ian wiped them off with his finger, actually allowing Emily to loosen up a bit. For some reason his touch felt good. Like she'd always be safe.

"Just until she dies. That's when they decide." Emily felt herself tighten.

"Heaven or Hell?" Her voice came out scratchy and disoriented. He just nodded. "Who decides?" All of the sudden, he just dissappeared into the darkness. "Who decides?" She yelled. "Who decides?!" Tears flowed freely.

After taking a minute to herself, she changed her attention to JJ and Will. The car had just stopped and Will had gotten up and was going to go get Henry. She cried as she watched her friend throw her head in her hands and weep.
