"It's been a half an hour, where is that helicopter? Where's Reid?" Morgan asked, he had resumed pacing as he had the last time Reid had gone into the apartment.
"The helicopter is running a little late." Hotch said hanging up his phone.
"Was that them on the phone?" Morgan asked, Hotch nodded.
"Agent Hotchner?" Jenna asked walking over to Hotch.
"Yes?" He asked.
"What will happen to Jen if the chopper doesn't get here in time?" Jenna asked tearfully.
"I don't know." Hotch said, he was about to say something else but he didn't have a chance because the sound of gunshots came from the apartment.
"My baby!" Laura screamed. Hotch, Morgan, Rossi, and Emily all ran as fast as they could into the building, some other officers on their heels. It seemed like it took an eternity for the elevator to get to the floor but they eventually got there. They ran to the apartment and opened the door.
----
"No you're not!" Carl yelled, Reid could see his finger start to pull the trigger. Three shots rang out, Reid and Carl both fell to the floor.
"Spence!" JJ screamed tearfully as she watched helplessly as he fell to the floor. Blood pooling around both men. JJ tried to get to her feet but she was so tired she just couldn't. So she crawled along the floor to Spencer.
"JJ." Reid whispered.
"Spencer, baby, stay with me." JJ said tearfully. She looked towards Reid's torso and saw one bullet wound to the chest, close to the heart.
"JJ, I'm sorry." He said with all of the strength he could muster.
"Spencer please don't go." She said tearfully, placing her hand on his wound, trying to stop the bleeding. "Please." She whispered.
"JJ, I'm sorry, I love you." He said, once he did his eyes closed, causing him to go into a sweet state of unconsciousness.
"Spence!" JJ screamed, she placed her other hand on his neck, she felt a pulse, but it was weak. "Baby wake up, please!" She screamed tearfully. She looked up when she heard the door open. There, in the doorway, stood Hotch, Morgan, Emily, and Rossi. There were a few officers that JJ didn't know. Morgan ran to Reid's side and felt his neck.
"He's got a pulse!" Morgan said. "Get the paramedics now!" He yelled franticly. Emily walked over to the other side of Reid and bent down next to JJ.
"JJ," she said placing her hand gently on JJ's back. "come on, let's get out of the way okay?" JJ looked up at Emily, her blue eyes filled with tears.
"Em." JJ chocked.
"It's okay." Emily said, JJ buried her head in Emily's shoulder. "He's going to be okay." Emily helped JJ to her feet and took her over to the couch.
"He… he killed him?" She asked.
"Who?" Emily asked.
"Spence killed Carl?" JJ asked.
"Yes." Emily said looking towards the redhead. He had a bullet wound to the neck and one right in between his eyes. She had no idea Reid was such a good shot! When Emily looked back to JJ she saw JJ resting her head on the back of the chair, she was clutching her stomach. "JJ you okay?" Emily asked reaching a hand out to JJ.
"It's early." JJ said, her blue eyes were filled with fear.
"Oh shit." Emily said. "Morgan?"
"What?" Morgan asked.
"We need to get JJ to the hospital now." Emily said.
"Why?" Hotch asked standing up from where he knelt by Reid's side to go over to the couch.
"It's too early." JJ cried.
"Oh shit." Hotch said, just then the paramedics walked into the room, two went to Carl's side, the other two went to Reid's. "Forget him." Hotch said pointing at Carl. "We need you here, now."
"What's going on?" Morgan asked, Rossi had joined Emily and JJ on the couch.
"It's going to be okay." Rossi said to JJ.
"Rossi it's too early, the baby won't make it." She said tearfully, her face lined with pain as she felt another contraction.
"How far along is she?" A paramedic asked while the other approached JJ.
"Six and a half months I think." Emily said.
"What's her name?" The other medic asked.
"JJ." Emily said.
"Hey JJ, I'm Daniel, I'm here to help you okay?" He asked kneeling down in front of JJ.
"No, no please." She begged.
"JJ it's okay, he's going to help you okay? Do you want the baby to live?" Emily asked, Morgan glared at her for being so blunt but it was the right thing to do because JJ agreed to let the medics help her.
"Emily stay with me please." JJ begged as the paramedics put her on a stretcher. Emily looked at one of the medics, who nodded.
"Okay." Emily said, Hotch and Morgan watched the two paramedics wheel JJ out of the room with Emily holding her hand. They turned their attention to Reid. The medics were getting ready to put him on a stretcher too.
"On the count of three okay?" One of the medics said, the other nodded. "One, two, three." He said lifting the young profiler onto the stretcher. Once he was settled they rushed out of the room. Rossi, Hotch, and Morgan all walked out of the room behind them. All of them silently praying for Reid, JJ, and their baby.

Jenna watched in horror as Reid and JJ both came out of the apartment building. Reid was bleeding… a LOT. JJ appeared to be in a lot of pain as well.
"Jen!" Laura yelled when she saw her daughter. "What's going on?" She asked as she watched her daughter be loaded into an ambulance.
"Mrs. Jareau it appears as though JJ has gone into premature labor." Hotch said approaching her.
"What?" She asked tearfully.
"Is she going to be okay?" Jon asked, speaking for the first time.
"I think so." Hotch said. "Now let's get to the hospital." He said walking over to the SUV, the Jareau's all pilled into the SUV that Hotch was in, while Morgan, Rossi, and Garcia pilled into the other.
"Agent Hotchner what about Spencer?" Jenna asked from where she sat in between her parents.
"He's been shot, he was unconscious when we got up there." Hotch said not taking his eyes off the road.
"Is the baby going to be okay?" She asked.
"I don't know." Hotch said, silent tears slid down Jenna's face.
"It's going to be okay." Her father said putting his arm around her.
"Yeah." Jenna chocked.
----
"Derek what happened?" Garcia asked once they fell in behind the other SUV.
"Reid took one to the chest and JJ went into labor." He said simply, glancing over at Garcia who sat in the passenger seat. Rossi sat in the back.
"W-what?" She asked.
"It's okay baby girl, they're going to be okay." He said reaching over and grabbing her hand to comfort her.
"I hope so." She said, tears spilling down her face. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed a familiar number.
"Penelope, how are you doing gorgeous?" Kevin Lynch asked answering his phone.
"Hey Kevin." Garcia said sadly.
"Uh-oh that doesn't sound good. What's the matter?" He asked.
"You haven't seen the news?" She asked
"I've been working, what's wrong?" He asked.
"T-the UnSub, he-he had JJ. H-he shot Reid, JJ w-she went into labor." Garcia told her boyfriend.
"Oh my God, are you okay?" He asked.
"I-I don't know." She said.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I don't know." Garcia said.
"As soon as you get there, call me okay? I'll be there as soon as I know where to go." He said.
"Okay, I will." She said.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too." She said hanging up the phone.

"Emily." JJ said tearfully, the medics where working the best they could. But the medicine they needed to stop the contractions were at the hospital, so right now they were monitoring the baby's heart rate and making sure that JJ was comfortable.
"It's okay JJ." Emily said squeezing her hand.
"No it's not, Spence is dieing, and if they don't stop me from having this baby it will die. I can't lose them!" JJ said tearfully.
"Everything will be okay, I promise." Emily said. Suddenly the ambulance came to a stop and the doors opened. Three more people waited outside of the doors and helped wheel her into the hospital. The paramedics informed the doctors what was going on but JJ wasn't listening.
"Ma'am I'm sorry you're going to have to wait out here." One of the medics said to Emily. She reluctantly settled into a chair in the waiting area. She had only been sitting there a few seconds when five more people came running by, a bleeding, unconscious, Reid on the stretcher. A few seconds after that the rest of the BAU team and the Jareau's came running in.
"Any word?" Morgan asked sitting down next to her.
"No, they just went in there." Emily said, she finally let the tears she had been holding back out. Morgan pulled her into his arms.
"Hey it's going to be okay." Morgan said rubbing her back soothingly.
----
"Okay that should stop the contractions, it might take a few minutes so if you feel another one don't be alarmed. I'll be back to check on you." A doctor said smiling down at JJ.
"Can I see my friends?" She asked tearfully.
"Sure." The doctor said smiling then walking out the door. A few minutes later the doctor walked back in the door with Hotch, Emily, Rossi, Garcia, Morgan, Kevin, and her family on his heels. "Here you go." The doctor said.
"How long can they stay?" JJ asked.
"An hour." The doctor said. "Which one of you is the lucky man?" The doctor asked.
"Have you heard any word?" JJ asked franticly.
"He's in surgery, that's all they'll say." Emily said.
"What did I miss?" The doctor asked, he seemed embarrassed.
"You know the gunshot patient?" Hotch asked.
"The FBI guy? I've heard that there isn't much hope for hi… oh." He said, "Uh they can stay as long as they need." He said then he turned and ran out the door. JJ felt another small contraction so she closed her eyes and took a couple deep breaths.
"Are you okay?" Morgan asked walking over to the bed and taking her hand.
"Hmm? Yeah, yeah just a contraction." JJ said.
"Which are two and a half months early." Garcia reminded her, she walked over to her side and brushed some golden hair out of JJ's face.
"Yeah, the doctor said I may have one of two more before the medicine kicks in. Luckily because there was an ambulance already at the apartment I didn't dilate any." JJ said trying to cover up her distress my quoting the doctor.
"Are you okay?" Jenna asked walking to the other side of her sister's bed and sitting down.
"Not really." JJ confessed, she felt Morgan squeeze her hand. "Did you hear what the doctor said?" She whispered tearfully.
"Oh Jayje." Garcia whispered.
"Hey baby." Laura said stepping towards her daughter's bed.
"Hey mom." JJ said, her mother pushed past Garcia to hug her daughter. "Okay can't breath." JJ said smiling a little.
"Sorry!" Her mother exclaimed, pulling back as though she had just been burned.
"It's okay mom." JJ said. "Have a seat where ever." She said gesturing towards the chairs about the room.
"Hey there." Her father said approaching the bed and kissing her forehead. "You really scared us." He said, she could see the tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry daddy, I don't know why this happened to me again." She said tears spilling down his face. He reached out his hand and used his thumb to wipe away her tears. She smiled gratefully, then she felt one last contraction, it wasn't nearly as painful as the last. But her father saw her grimace.
"I know baby girl, I know." He said he took her hand and squeezed it. Everyone else had taken up a place at the wall while father and daughter talked, though Jenna refused to leave her sister's side. Once they were done with their 'father daughter talk' everyone made lighthearted conversation until the doctor came in to check on her.
"Ms. Jareau needs her rest." The doctor said apologetically.
"I'm not leaving." Jenna insisted grabbing her sister's hand. The team seemed to be thinking the same thing.
"Well if you stay you have to be quiet." The doctor said before leaving the room.
"Well goodnight." JJ said lying her head back onto the pillows.
"Goodnight." Jenna said.
---
Meanwhile Spencer was still in surgery, and not doing quite so well as his bride to be.
"I didn't know someone so skinny could have so much blood." One doctor said. The other nodded in agreement, but he didn't get a chance to respond because the heart monitor started to flat line.
"Charge at 250!" The surgeon yelled.
"Clear!" The other yelled pressing the peddles to Reid's chest.
"Nothing." The surgeon said. "Charge at 300!"
"Clear!" The other said repeating the process again.
"Still nothing. Charge at 350."

Yes I do know I'm evil, but my brother is circling like a hawk to get the computer and it is getting kind of annoying.
Please review! Please don't kill me?
JJ and the baby are fine? Yeah I know our Spence is dieing… or dead at the moment. Muahaha? You know you all enjoy writing cliffhangers (expecially you BeccaWestlifeAddict, you still haven't updated Helpless to my knowledge, the blood… seeping… correct me if you have though!).
