Chapter 20

It has now been five days since I found Emily upon the rooftop her heartbreaking for so many reasons; I have not really allowed her out of my sight. I guess I am being the Mom again looking after the family, but with Emily it is different I look after her without her noticing or maybe she does and just keeps it to herself. I am just glad she does not fight me on it; it is the only thing that I feel needed and wanted for. To tame the beast better known as Emily Prentiss.

I watch threw the glass of the waiting room as Emily seems to be having a deep and frustrating conversation with the doctor, I watch had her hands flex one indicator that she is becoming annoyed, she is not the best person to annoy. I even see Reid back away from the window slightly as though the image of Emily's hand movements worried him.

Okay maybe they should be, I mean the last time Emily got really annoyed Morgan took her down to the gym to work through it. Only to return twenty minutes later with a black eye and busted nose. Yes, no one wanted to get in the way of an annoyed Emily.

The gentle hand, which rested on my shoulder, caused me to jump slightly. "You might want to go and save them before Emily gives him a black eye." He said softly. I think we had all just seen Emily's body change from slightly tense into I want to kill you. Her body screamed her mood and yet the doctor and nurses did not even seem fazed by it.

Emily could be the softest and caring person but if you crossed that line she changed there was darkness around her, that seemed to have no shame, no remorse, it was as though that side of her was primal.

I could hear the annoyed tone in her voice as soon as I had stepped out of the waiting room, I could not help the sigh that escaped my lips as I carefully made my way over "Give me one good reason why he cannot be moved?" I heard Emily ask, though I could also tell it was not really a question.

"We are unable to fund the transfer and his insurance does not cover it" the doctor seems to glare at her as he spoke.

I was unsure if I should intervene, though I knew better. Emily was one of the most stubborn people I knew and it was also the reason why she and Morgan got along so well, they seemed to keep each other at bay so neither of them stepped over the mark. However, right now Morgan was in the burns unit and we had been given the order to return. We all knew Emily would not leave her partner behind not just for her sake but also for Garcia's sake as well.

"And if someone was willing to pay to have him transferred would you then allow it" Emily's voice seemed slightly softer now, though the sarcasm which lay behind each word seemed to ooze out without them noticing.

The doctor had an amused look on his face and Emily had noticed it "Do you happen to know someone with a lot of money"

Emily couldn't help the chuckle that escaped her lips as she spoke "You give me a price and I will pay it" I couldn't help my jaw slightly dropping as she spoke. Everyone knew Emily came from money and had money. However, money to throw away like this. I know she would not see it as wasting her money but still.

The doctor raised his eyebrow and I knew it was in slight disbelief "Ma'am with all due respect" I winced at the tone let alone the use of the word Ma'am I watched as Emily tensed again and this time instead of watching I made myself known

"Everything okay Emily?" I asked as I made my way into her view, her face softened before she spoke

"It would be even better if the nice doctor would allow me to transfer Morgan back home" she said as I gave a soft smile

"Is there a problem in allowing him to transfer?" I asked looking at the doctor. I knew that siding with Emily and not questioning her decision was the best course of action.

The doctor seemed to give me a sceptical look before he spoke "We cannot transfer him under his insurance it does not cover it" the doctor said again. I nodded because I looked at Emily I could see the pleading in her eyes and I knew that no matter what the cost she would pay or she would just go right above everyone's head.

"And if someone was to pay for his transfer?"

The bemused look on his face told me he thought neither of us was serious "I could give you a price, but without you taking offence even I couldn't offer to pay the price it will cost" he said looking straight at Emily.

The smug grin that crossed Emily's face before she spoke was enough to set me off laughing but I needed to keep a straight face "Well that is you but I can pay and if you would rather I will do a direct transfer right now." I watched as she tilted her head the slight cockiness showing off.

The doctor swallowed audibly "Very well, the nurse will take you through and I will make arrangements once everything has gone through" he said as Emily just nodded

"Thank you," I said kindly.

I couldn't help the relief wave off my body once they had all gone, the emotional roll-a-coaster of Emily's emotions right now was enough to test anyone, but I had seen the vulnerable side of her, the side where she feels this is all her fault the stress that her body was under was more immense than a train colliding with a reinforced wall.

I think everyone knew once Morgan was home he would be able to heal better, he was in pain but it was managed and I also knew Emily was going to do everything she could to make sure the scars were as minimal as possible, she had stayed with him as they brought him back around they had, had time to talk with each other and for the first time in days Emily seemed more relaxed. We all just wanted to get home and heal and I wanted to help Emily heal as I made my way back into the waiting room without her, everyone's eyes landed on me.

"I will let Emily tell you" was all I said, as it really was not my place to say anything.

An hour later a more relaxed Emily walked back into the room and my reaction was automatic as I made my way towards her, she gave me a soft smile as I rested my hand on her arm, though when I went to move I did not expect to be held back by arms wrapping around my waist pulling me backwards her chest rested against my back, a warmth settled inside me as I waited for her to either speak or someone remark on the way she had hold of me, she whispered into my ear telling me to relax that one action caused me to blush slightly before she addressed the rest of the team.

"I have just spoken to Morgan we will all be heading back later tonight, Morgan will be airlifted to the local hospital in a few hours and once the jet is ready we can leave as well," she said almost with as much authority as Hotch.

I turned my head, which was resting against her shoulder so I could look at her, the light that had seemed to come back to her eyes causing them to sparkle more told me she needed away from here, and move away from all the drama and accidents, which had progressed since the plane, crashed. That one thought sent my stomach into a tailspin we had to get on a plane
