A/N As you know every story has a beginning, middle and an end. the biginning was the abduction and finding JJ. the middle was her recovering and the end is whats coming next. Im not saying that this is almost over because i dont think it is their is still about 5 or 6 chapters left to go..

Im telling you this because this chapter is a filler if you will. It is small but i thought it was needed to tie up a few loose ends with the middle and beginning part. BUT not all of them some i made so they would stay till the end.

This fic is NOT over yet!...

With the bathroom cleared and JJ's hand and neck bandaged and taken care of the team sat round JJ sofa drinking coffee and tea.

JJ covered her mouth with the back of her hand to block a yawn but it didn't work.

"You ok cupcake?" Garcia asked seeing JJ struggle to stay awake.

"Yeah, I'm just a little tired; the doctor said the meds would do that."

"Why don't you go to bed for a little bit, we'll stay here…" Rossi gave JJ a smile but it quickly fell when he saw what he had said distressed the blonde.

"No…" JJ started to panic, her heart started beating faster and her chest tightened. She couldn't lie on her bed it felt too much like his bed "No I don't want to, please."

"Hey, hey, JJ its ok. Take some deep breaths." Emily got up and crouched down in front of JJ "you don't have to, it's ok. Why don't you stay here and get some sleep, we'll go and talk in the kitchen."

JJ still didn't look too certain.

"We won't go anywhere; we'll be here when you wake up. Ok?" Emily put her hands on JJ's knee and the blonde nodded in agreement.

Morgan and Garcia stood from the sofa and Emily helped JJ lay down and covered her with a blanket.

The others made their way into the kitchen as Emily stayed with JJ for a minute. Just as she was drifting of to a much needed sleep Emily whispered "Were not going anywhere Jayje."

Emily placed a soft kiss on JJ's head and walked into the kitchen to find the others.

Morgan, Hotch and Garcia were sat round the table and Rossi and Reid were leaning against the counter.

Emily took the last seat at the table when Rossi asked "What did I say?" He had his arms over his chest and worry on his face much like a father would worry for a daughter.

"We had a chat last night." Emily sighed "And she admitted that she was afraid of sleeping in her own bed because it felt too much like the bed he had her on." Rossi nodded in understanding.

"But she can't sleep on the couch forever…" Reid said.

"Well one step at a time, at least she's getting some sleep."

"I guess…"

"What's that Hotch?" For the first time since the team had gotten to JJ's they noticed that Hotch had a brown folder in his hands.

"It's the file the doctor gave me at the hospital with detailed description of JJ's injuries." He placed the folder on the table "I figured you wouldn't call us here if something important didn't happen and thought we might need to read it."

"Do we?" Garcia asked shaky.

"I think we do princess." Morgan put a hand on Garcia knee under the table.

"I can't I'm sorry…" Garcia stood up.

"Its ok baby girl, we didn't expect you too."

"Illgo and sit with her." Garcia didn't wait for anyone to answer and just walked out of the small kitchen.

"So who wants to start?" Emily asked.

Hotch sighed and figures considering he is their Boss that he should be the one to read the unopened file. Also he was the one who seemed to be controlling his emotions better than the rest of the team and wanted to get this over with without having to stop.

He opened it and within seconds of reading the first few lines a deep scowl crossed his face; this was going to be just as hard for him to read out loud as it would be any of the others. He pulled out the pictures from the back of the file and laid them on the table which earned a growl from Rossi and Morgan and another loud gulp from Raid, Emily just sat there silent preparing for what she was about to hear.

"Ok…" Hotch took a deep breath and started talking "JJ had numerous bruises all over her body. It says from the depth, form and shape of them some were caused by hands and fists; obviously from where he beat her." He looked through the pile of pictures and pulled out some nasty ones of the bruised on her face which took the shape of clenched fists and hands "She had deep bruising round her throat from being strangled multiply times." Another picture came out which got a sniffle from Reid. You didn't need to look at him to know he was silently crying but paying attention. The others were almost at that stage too. Hotch pulled out another picture but this time it was one of JJ stomach "And some of the bruising on her stomach forms the shape of a belt buckle."

They went on like this for the next few hours, stopping about half way through so the 5 agents could compose themselves and have a minute.

By the time Hotch gathered the pictures and closed the file Reid had ran out of tears, Emily looked paler than thought possible and Rossi and Morgan looked like they were ready to kill someone.

"Ok now what do we do?" Reid asked quietly after a few minutes of silence.

"We need to get her to talk to someone other than us. Some of the things he did to her…" Rossi clenched his fists to get the images out of his head "It's not something she's going to be able to process of her own or even with us for that matter. She is going to need to talk to someone who is trained with this type of…" He paused to try and find a word that fitted with what had happened "…Torture"

"Rossi's right. As much as I hate to say it there's not a lot else we can do for her other than what we are doing. With the roof stunt and the bathroom she is struggling a lot more than we ever thought she was." Morgan looked up with sad eyes.

"I have a few friends that would be willing to help." Rossi said.

"Ok good…"

An ear piercing scream filled the kitchen and all 5 occupants ran towards the sound.

JJ was trashing in her sleep and Garcia was whispering sweet words to try and clam JJ.

"You're ok Buttercup. You're home now back where you belong."

"Someone help me!" JJ yelled.

"I'm here Jayje. Were all here to help you sweet pea, our superheroes saved you, open your eyes for me." Garcia glanced up and saw the others making their way into the room. The boy's stayed back a little trying not to crowd JJ but Emily came and joined Garcia in trying to wake their best friend.

"Pen please help me" JJ whispered still obviously asleep but slowly waking up.

"That's it buttercup, it's me, I'm right here, why don't you open your eyes and see for yourself." Garcia brushed away the hair from JJ's face.

Slowly the blondes blue eyes opened and looked up at the red head, instantly tears filled her eyes and Garcia didn't wait a second before she scooped JJ into her arms.

"It's ok, your gonna be fine Jayje." Garcia rubbed calming circles in JJ's back and Emily did in Garcia. Comforting JJ was taking it out on the red head.

"I'm sorry." JJ whispered as she finally calmed down.

"I sewer to god JJ, if you say your sorry one more time I'm…I'm going to throw all your chettos out of the window." Emily said looking into JJ's blue eyes.

Her small statement put a small spark in JJ's eye and the blonde let out a small chuckle along with the rest of the team.

It was in that moment that they all knew that with the right help and love from her family JJ was going to be ok.
