Chapter 3,
Hello there my dear, you lookin' good today, welcome back. New chapter here (Duh), I have nothing on my mind right now to write on this intro, you may think that I would just leave this empty and start with the new chapter right away, but NO!, I'd like to say HI!, I'm still waiting on Criminal Minds to air again (SO BAD!), but in the meantime, I'm watch Criminal Minds the Korean version, and it's so good, it's like a conglomerate of a few seasons in one episode, it's a remake of the one and only, Criminal Minds.
Hospital,
''JJ!, How is Prentiss, they didn't let you stay with her?'', Derek asked, worried, Hotch had told the team to go home until necessary but none of them would, they have Emily back, they won't lose her again. They
''Uhm… yeah, the nurse was checking on her, they will do a scan on her brain, seems to be there was a head wound, they will check for any trauma, the nurse did said she must have a pretty bad concussion, I told her about Emily being dizzy in the car ride, she also told me she had parked the SUV in a different spot, she genuinely thinks she is acting like she would normally act, but we saw her, she was out of it ever since we got to her apartment this morning, the nurse found what seemed to be needle holes on her forearm, probably made from drug use, Emily was somewhere else while the nurse was checking on her, she was unresponsive, it makes me wonder, if there is still drugs in her system, or the UNSUB had broken into her mind.''
They were obviously concerned, Morgan for sure wanted to know who had done this to his friend, wanted to do anything to protect his friend, Rossi was concerned, Emily is a daughter to him, the one he never had. And it's like someone has taken her from him, from her family to do God knows what, it felt like she was still missing, Rossi had to excuse himself out just to have air and a cup of coffee. They were tired they had expend the last 3 days looking for her and she was there now.
I could feel hands pressed on my hips, a huge pressure on my thighs, hot breath on my ears, someone almost panting above me.
''Emily wake up, you don't want to miss this…''A voice I didn't recognized said with a menacing tone.
The air in the room changed to a more comfortable one and someone was stroking my hair''Emily, you fainted for a few seconds there, the doctor says they will keep overnight for observation, okay? JJ asked.
''Okay''I was in a hospital bed, long time had happened ever since we got to the hospital and I don't remember much of it too, I fell asleep when they were doing the scan on me, JJ said I fainted, I guess that happened after, ''JJ, I'm tired, I will sleep for a little bit''.
''I will be checking in every two hours Emily, rest..'' and with that JJ Left and I just fell asleep.

Hey JJ!, How is Emily? What did the doctor say?, Reid asked, driving the attention of all of the team back to her. She was still her next keen, even after the Doyle ordeal.
JJ took a big breath and began,
''It's bad, she took a big hit to her head, she has a pretty bad concussion, we just have to wait until the swell goes down, she is dehydrated, but not starved, it seems she is starting to remember things but it comes with episodes, she had fainted a few times during the scan and the way back to her room, the doctor said there was bruising everywhere…''she took a pause.
''Was there any sign of…''Rossi asked, coming back from his short break dreading the results.
''No way to tell, there wasn't any sign of sexual assault, but is hard to tell, evidence may have been eliminated, but there was bruising up to her thighs, I don't think there is many ways that could happen other than a possible assault… drugs were found in her system, but they are still analyzing most of it, so far is has come positive with LCD traces, rape date drugs…they are still strong traces, she is still on them, it's not that strong but sure enough she was drugged not that long ago, since early morning maybe, I can't…''(JJ was looking at hear team members with a pained face, Garcia was affected the most, she was crying ever since she started aching for her friend.
''Where is she right now?'' Hotch broke the silence.
''She is resting, they will keep under observation for a few days. We have to check on her every two or three hour so she doesn't slip into a coma''
''I will stay with her'' Hotch offered.
''She is down the hall''
''You can go, keep searching, this UNSUB may have known Emily, let's assume this UNSUB is male, built enough to transport Emily, find out why he let Emily go, was he intentionally trying to erase her memory, or he got what he wanted from her, track every account. Pull up footage from Emily's apartment again Garcia. I''ll keep you update, will try to do a cognitive with her when she wakes up later.'' With that everyone was gone, Garcia stood and gave Hotch a hug, told him to release the breath he was holding.
(Hotch's point of view)
Three hours later and Emily was stirring on her sleep, I thought it was a good time to wake her up.
''Emily, hey wake up'' She jumped into a sitting position and looked at me with frightened eyes, almost like she didn't recognize me. '' It's me Hotch, you're in the hospital… you don't remember?''
She kept looking at her wrists as she trembled, she looks so scared, and then it happened so quickly, she tried to run out the door, that was the moment I realized she wasn't there with me, I went after her, she was having a hard time trying to run with her dizziness but she did get advantage, she ripped the IV from her veins when she ran, I could have outrun her in the state she was, but I for some reason was slow while trying go after her, she though in her subconscious I was the bad guy and she was running from me, she had slowed down, confused with her surroundings, there was barely any people on the floor, since this was a more secluded private area, that we were keeping her due to her security, I could see Morgan talking to JJ in the far back of the hallway, they were probably coming back from the precinct to check on Prentiss and investigate further. I signaled them with hand gestures to be careful with Emily, she now stopped running when she saw them, holding her head with her hands, like her head was going to explode.
''Emily are you okay?'' JJ and Morgan ran to her, as soon as Morgan touched her arm, she crumbled to the floor.
''Go away, go away, go away! She whispered with rapid breath.
Morgan and Hotch then gave her space, they left JJ to deal with her friend to try and bring her back, and they knew that their presence as a males wasn't probably doing much for their friend.
'' Emily! Is just me JJ and the guys, Derek…'' she was interrupted by her friend's cry.
''I know JJ, I know..there was someone in my room, I ran, I don't know who he was, he had me chained to the bed, and when I woke up I didn't have anything holding my wrists so I ran, I don't know where I am''
''Emily is okay, we made sure there was no one in that room, nobody is going to hurt you now, you're in the hospital'' (She took Emily's hand, and stroked her hair while she sat next to the wall, crying, tears pooling in the floor, it was heartbreaking, this tough woman, the most fierce she is ever known, crumbled down in the hospital floor crying her eyes out.
''JJ?'' She whispered, shy almost.
''Yes?''
''I remember'' she was now sobbing on my arms.
''You are here now, let's get you up and go back to your room and you can tell me okay?''
''I was with Hotch in the room, he didn't hurt him did he?, I'm sorry I think it was just my imagination, I ran from Hotch, didn't I?''
''Yes, but it's okay, he is right here, he won't go anywhere, he is worried about you, we all are''JJ walked the brunette back to her hospital room and laid her down on her bed, they guys weren't far behind, they heard everything''
''I think I will rest for now, I'm too tired, it felt like I was running for two hours''
''Yeah? Well let me call a nurse so we can put you back on your IV, and you can get to rest all you want'' she nodded.
Hotch was aching for the strongest woman he had ever known, she was suffering, he wanted to catch the bastard so much know, and was thinking so hard on how two that he started to fill lightheaded, a nurse came in and shortly after both nurse and JJ came out.
''She is sleeping now, and is aware of what happened, she thought there was someone in her room and tried to ran'' JJ explained.
''Please fill me in, what have you found ever since you left?'' I asked, trying to go back to the pending case.
''We checked video footage, there was a man, tall Caucasian man walking with Prentiss all the way up to her apartment. The car was Emily's we missed them on the traffic, because he actually didn't leave until the next morning, he stayed with Prentiss in car 6 hours for some reason and then drove on the highway, we lost his tracks, after 3 miles into driving, that's why her car was parked in a different space. When we got to the SUV we found blood, GPS gone, traces of drugs, rope, we also found traces of semen, we think he may have a partner that may have not been involved with the actual kidnapping but close enough to be loyal to him, the dogs also found trace of drugs almost all over her apartment, like they were sprinkled all over. If I didn't know Prentiss I would say she is a frequent user of drugs and being honest she has been phlegmatic over the past few months, I don't think this is the first time the UNSUB has try this on her, he must have evolved ever since, he is gotten confident on what he was doing, Garcia is trying to get old footage, her building erases it's footage to save space every 2 to 3 weeks when there is nothing out of the normal.''
''So this man has been doing this under our noses for whoever knows for how long.'' Hotch was furious with himself the most, he had noticed Prentiss was a little bit low in the past few months but he let it pass, thinking that it was just her adjusting to the new changes after the whole Doyle thing, now this was happening, what is it about her that only attracts bad luck.
''I don't expect Emily to be quite ready for this information, I wasn't ready myself, let's go slow with her, JJ I would like you to do the cognitive with her, stay with her for now.'' JJ nodded.
''Are all of you here for Emily Prentiss?'' The doctor on Emily's case said, he knew JJ already.
''Yes we are''Morgan said.
''Blood test came back, we can discharge her tomorrow afternoon, seems like the drugs were more stimulation, and to cause her to sleep, it didn't do any damage to her or the baby, she will have to check in a …
''Wait, what?, she is pregnant?'' I asked in disbelief.
''Yes, 4 months, is safe to say that the baby seems to be healthy, the patient will have to stop using drugs, there is traces for this drug in her system for a while, there will be abstinence, I will leave with her caregiver a few tips on how to manage this…'' while the doctor was talking we all stayed there with our mouth open, in disbelief that this was really happening, what has the world come into. We stopped hearing the doctor clearly, we were shocked, until a voice from behind startled all of us…
''4 months?''Emily asked hiding behind the frame on the door, she probably heard all of it, all of what the doctor had said, maybe even heard our conversation.
''Yes, you didn't feel anything, no nausea, period never stopped?''
''I.. don't know, I got sick a few months ago, I didn't know.'' She was now ashamed of herself, you could see it in her face, a tear was rolling down her cheek silently.
''Emily none of this is your fault, we are here with you, we''ll go through every step with you, were are on with you in every decision you make.'' I said trying to reassure her that we wouldn't go anywhere and that she wasn't at fault for anything.
''Was there anything else doctor? Emily decided to ignore that she didn't believed that herself, she was still blaming whatever the hell happened on her yet. Rossi decided to show up at the moment with a bouquet of flowers.
''It's a girl''The doctor said a smile that faded, the doctor was aware of the situation she was in. I felt like I was on a Ping Pong match now, I'm pretty sure the others did too, now it was the doctor exchanging words with Emily that was still holding the frame of the door, Emily looked down to compose herself, she couldn't look at anyone to the eyes. Rossi looked like he had been hit with a baseball bat.
''Does the, does she have a heartbeat?''
''Yes, a pretty strong one, if you'd like we can do a scan on you again, you were unconscious when we checked on your baby.''
''No, I'm okay, just when can I leave?, I want to leave now!''
''I understand this must be hard for you, it would be against medical advice to leave this early, but I'm one myself I can clear you, I can manage to release you later on, as long as you continue to drink water and not stress too much, the swell has gone down enough for us to clear you, and you will also need assistance during the next following days, just to make sure.''
''Okay, then Thank you.''The doctor wen to move to shake hands but thought better and gave Emily a smile and then just left.
''Emily..''Derek started, Emily kept looking at one vacant point of the wall, and couldn't look at them, it was too hard.
''I'm okay, two of the team members can stay with me, I don't want go back to..'' Emily was interrupted by Rossi who was now sitting on one of the seats that were near the room. ''You will stay at my house, it has plenty of rooms, we can actually do our work from my house for a little while, until we find out where this bastard is..''
''Thank you... I just need to think things over, you can do a cognitive, once we get there, there is no need to rush, even though I got grand part of my memory back, I don't fucking know him, I don't know anything about this man.''
End of chapter, I was thinking a lot on how this chapter would go, I was thinking about Emily never remembering what had happened, and go by her normal life, and find out what had really happened a few months after, from her abductor himself, or finding out about pregnancy, this story could've have a million outcomes, if there any idea that pops up into your head, then please write if( if you'd like to), and let me know so I can read it. Iloveyouall.
