READ ON...
When Emily walked back into the room alone JJ was relieved that they weren't all coming back but she was scared as well. Deep down JJ knew that Emily wouldn't hurt her, none of the team would but the nightmare and the words she had heard were still too fresh in her mind.
Emily sat in her seat by the bed and rested her arms next to JJ. She noticed her best friend's heart rate go up on the monitors and Emily's heart crushed.
'What the hell did he do for her to be so scared of me?' She thought looking over the bruised blonde.
They sat their in silence for what felt like hours but in reality it was only about half an hour. JJ hadn't shifted her gaze from the wall ahead of her and the only movement she made was jumping whenever Emily so much as flinched.
"Why are you so scared of me Jayje…?" Emily waited for a response but when she didn't get one she kept talking.
"What did he do to you? I want my best friend back JJ. I want to sit in my condo till 3am talking and eating buckets of ice-cream with you and Pen again." Emily scooted her chair closer and went to reach for JJ's hand but stopped when JJ pulled away and whimpered in fear "Ok…ok I'm sorry. I won't touch you." Emily put her hands on her lap "Listen to me JJ, we are not going to give up on you; we'll get you back or we'll die trying because we can't loose you again. I don't show my emotions much, I know that but I'm so scared right now, I need you Jayje, I need my best friend back" Tears were slipping down her cheeks "You can't leave it up to me and Garcia to keep all the BAU boys in check, we struggled to do it when there are three of us." Emily sat up and wiped her tears away "Right this is what's going to happen, I am going to sit her for the next 3 and a half hours talking. I'm going to remind you of all the good we have done and all the fun we've had as friends. Also I'm going to make you remember what an amazing person you are…" Emily wiggled in her seat to get comfy "where shall I start…oh I know, do you remember that case…."
3 and a half hours later Morgan silently opened the door to JJ's room to see Emily talking to JJ and JJ staring at the wall with a blank expression on her face.
Emily saw Morgan and stood up.
"I'll be back in a minute Jayje…" she would have waited for a reply but knew she wasn't going to get one so went straight to Morgan.
He saw the fear and hurt in her eyes and pulled the tired brunette into a comforting hug.
"How's she doing?" He asked.
"Physically still ok like the doctor said but mentally…." Emily's mind wondered of for a second.
"So she didn't say anything?"
"No and the only time she acknowledged I was even there was when I went to touch her and she whimpered in fear or when I moved in my seat and she flinched away from me."
Morgan sighed at what Emily told him.
"Go on, go home and get something to eat and rest, I'll stay with her for a while."
"Ok…" Emily looked a little lost. She walked over to JJ and picked up her bag and jacket "I'm going to head off now Jayje but Morgan's going to stay with you for a while, is that ok?"
Again JJ didn't reply so she just walked out the room without saying anything to Morgan.
"Hey Princess…" Morgan sat on the seat Emily was just in and saw JJ flinch away from him "Don't worry baby girl, I won't touch you, I'm just going to sit here and talk…" JJ's eyes blinking and her chest rising and falling was the only movement coming from her "C'mon Jayje, talk to me. I thought you trusted me… you know I would never hurt you none of us would; ever…" he sighed "ok well I'm going to sit here and when you're ready to talk I'll listen because I care JJ. I love you like a sister and I hate to see you hurting. No one person should have to carry this on their shoulder alone. I want to help you carry it. Ok…"
Morgan sat back in the chair not taking his eyes on the blonde. He watched her chest going up and down as reassurance that she was there and alive.
It was 8am the next day and the team had sat with JJ through out the previous day and night but there was still no change. She didn't talk to them; didn't even acknowledge that they were in the room. The only sound they got was from a nightmare she had when Reid was with her during the night.
It was Peter and Sophie's time to sit with JJ and the BAU team were all due to be there to visit JJ soon.
"Shelby, we know you're scared, hurting and you feel so alone but your not. Your family is here for you. They didn't leave when they found out about your past and their not going to now please let them in…" Sophie whispered.
"Let us in Shel. We love you so much kid, love you like you're our own daughter. You fought so hard for a normal life and you got it. Don't let it slip through your fingers now." Peter wiped his tears away as there was a knock at the door.
"Can we come in?" Garcia popped her head in the door and whispered.
"Sure."
The Whole BAU team walked in and sat round the room. Emily and Garcia sat in either side of JJ's bed.
"How are you this morning buttercup?" But Garcia got no reply. She was hoping she would but knew deep down it wasn't going to happen yet. JJ hadn't said a word to them or even acknowledged they were there other than when she showed her fear of them.
Once everyone and settled in and had coffee there was another small knock at the door.
"Daddy?" Jack waked in holding Jessica's hand.
"Hey buddy." Hotch walked over to jack and lifter the 6 year old into his arms.
Rossi looked at Hotch in wonderment. He knew that the other profiler was up to something he just wasn't sure what.
As if Hotch could read Rossi's mind he said "Since we came back from Horizon JJ has been spending a lot of time with me and Jack. He asked to see his auntie JJ yesterday and I thought it might be a good idea."
"It might work, yeah." Morgan agreed with the idea.
"We'll leave you three to it then." Rossi left the room followed by everyone else.
"Now buddy…" Hotch sat in the seat next to JJ's bed and placed Jack on his lap facing the blonde "Remember I said that auntie JJ was really sick?"
"Yes daddy but you said she was getting better."
"And she is but I thought she could do with a bit of cheering up, so I thought she could use an extra special visitor."
"Me?"
"Yes you buddy. Did you bring the picture you painted?"
"Yes." Jack jumped of Hotch's lap and picked up his back pack. He pulled out a piece of paper and before Hotch could stop him Jack climbed onto the bed and sat next to JJ.
To his surprise JJ didn't move away or whimper in fear. She kept staring at the wall ahead of her but didn't move.
"Look what I made you auntie JJ. It's a picture I panted off you, me and daddy at the zoo. Look there's the lions and the tigers and the bears." Jack pointed to each bit of the picture "I also drewed butterfly's because I remembered you love them, look see." Jack pointed to a bright blue on at the top of the page.
Hotch looked on amazed when JJ looked at the picture and he could have sworn her eyes turned a brighter shade of blue for a few seconds.
He left Jack there next to JJ for 10 minutes before deciding it was time for the little boy to go home.
"Ok buddy, I think you've worn auntie JJ out."
"Oh but I don't want to go…"
"C'mon, you can come back and visit another time ok?"
"Ok…" Jack sighed and turned to kiss JJ on the cheek. The corner of JJ's mouth twitched and Hotch breathed a sigh or relief "bye bye auntie JJ. I'll see you soon."
Jack climbed of the bed and put his jacket back on.
Hotch lent over to whisper into JJ's ear, she did flinch away but he didn't get too close "I know you're in there JJ and I know you can hear me. We haven't lost you yet and were not going to. I will find a way to get you back to us I promise."
"C'mon Daddy." Jack was stood by the closed door.
"Ok, I'm coming." Hotch took one last look at the broken blonde. This time he felt a little hope in the pit of his stomach as he closed the door behind him.
He and Jack walked over to the others who were outside the room waiting for them.
"Did I do good daddy?" Jack asked pulling on his father's trouser leg.
"You did an amazing Job, I'm so proud of you." Hotch knelt down to his son's level.
"Thanks daddy." Jack wrapped his arms round Hotch's neck.
"Ok buddy. You be good for Aunt Jessica and I will see you later."
"Love you Daddy."
"Love you Buddy." Hotch stood up and thanked Jessica for bringing Jack to the hospital.
"How did it go?" Morgan asked when they were out of ear shot.
"Brilliantly…" Hotch showed his dimples with a winning smile.
"Really?" Garcia asked with hope in her voice.
"Jack sat next to her on the bed and she even looked at the picture he drew. I'm sure I saw a small smile when Jack kissed her on the cheek."
"Oh thank god." Emily sighed in relief. 'maybe things will be ok' she thought to her self.
But the small celebration was cut short when the doctor asked to speak to them all in another room. They followed him down the hall and into an empty family room.
"What's happening?" Hotch asked.
"I'm sorry to say that if agent Jareau doesn't start making some good mental progress I'm going to have to admit her to the physic ward a few floors up."
"WHAT!" Garcia shrieked.
"I'm sorry but this is over my head, it comes from my higher up."
"But she did, just a few minutes ago Hotch and his son were in there."
The team and Peter and Sophie spent the next few minutes telling the doctor what happened in the room.
"That's brilliant but I don't think it will be enough. I'll review her tomorrow and decide then. I'm sorry." The doctor walked out of the room leaving 8 people looking slightly shocked.
"Did he just…" Garcia stumbled.
"Look lets worry about that tomorrow Morning. Now lets just spend time with her reminding her were here." Rossi sighed. In his head he was thinking of private hospitals he could take JJ too.
"Where is she?" Morgan asked as he was the first to walk in and see JJ's bed empty.
A/N... Would it be cheeky for me to ask to get over the 200 mark?
