All Things Happen For A Reason
Chapter 21
AN/ Please drop me a little review to tell me how you think the story is going. Hope you enjoy. *ALERT* There is some hinting at some sexual assualt. So if you don't want to read it or could be effected by it, stop here. But it is implied. And there is a big bomb of info in this chapter. So stop and weight the decision carefully. I don't want to hurt anyone or remind them of possible things from their past. Thanks!
"How soon do you think you can see if she's pregnant?" John asks Henry, the doctor.
"Well, we can try on about an hour. Now let's go check on the known pregnant girl. You owe me big time John." Henry says, walking to the room next to Emily's. John unlocks the door. He finds Meghan on the floor in the bathroom, unconscious.
"Meghan, wake up. What happened?" John asks, trying to wake her. Tapping her face and trying to figure out why she was out cold. "Henry, what's wrong with her?"
"Don't worry John. She's just exhausted from morning sickness. You should make sure that she eats and drinks. More so, drinks. All this vomiting can make her dehydrated. Give her food with ginger. That will help with the nausea. Help me get her to the bed. Put a bucket next to her bed. She needs rest." Henry, the doctor says.
"And that's it for now?" John asks.
"Yes. That is all I can do for now." Henry looks at John in an annoyed way/
"Ok, ok, how about some coffee? Maybe some doughnuts?" John asks, as they leave Meghan and head down stairs.
"Dave, I'm nervous about bringing Billie home. Well, to the hotel. I don't know if I can do this." JJ says, tears running down her face.
"Honey, you are just scared like any first time mother. You don't need to worry. You have a secret weapon-Me." Rossi smiles, which in turn makes JJ smile.
"Dave, you are so funny. But I'm serious. What am I going to do? I was scared when Will was going to be there to help. But now I am a single mother. You and the others have your own lives. Billie is my son. But…but what do I do if he gets colic? What do I do if he won't nurse properly?" JJ asks, bawling uncontrollably.
"JJ, calm down. I have told you before that you can count on me. If you ever need ANYTHING, you just ask and I will happily come help. There are a great many things to try with colic. And as for nursing properly, if you don't calm down, he won't nurse at all. Baby's can sense when you are upset or uneasy. So when they bring him in, stay calm and positive. Who wouldn't love to have you as a mother. You're caring, compassionate and disciplined. All very good things to raise a very happy and healthy young man." Dave says, patting her hand to reassure her.
"Hello. Lucy, is something wrong?" Henry asks as he answers his cell phone.
"Maybe Henry. Where are you?" Lucy asks.
"I'm with a friend, at his house. What's wrong?"
"Henry, which friend? You know I worry about some of the friends you associate with." Lucy says, acting more like a mother than a sister.
"I'm hanging with my friend John."
"John who?" Lucy tries to find out if it's the one the FBI are looking for.
"John Logan, he's the cop. SO no worries." Henry says trying to comfort her.
"Oh. When are you going to be home?" Lucy's panicking now.
"A couple of hours. John's fixing up an old farm. So as clumsy as he is, he needs me to patch up his injuries. I'll call when I'm leaving." Henry's about to hang up, but stops when Lucy throws out another question.
"Where is this place? I need to know how long it will take you to get home so I can have dinner about done or at least started. You know I hate burnt food or cold food."
"It's about a 30 minute drive." Henry hung up before she could ask more questions. She hung up and dialed Hotch's cell phone number.
"Agent Hotchner." Hotch answers his phone.
"Agent Hotchner, this is Lucy. You stopped by my house asking about my brother Henry."
"Yes ma'am, I remember. Can I help you with something?"
"Yes. I now have information which might help you find that man and those poor women."
"We'll be right there. Thank you." Hotch hangs up. "Turn around Reid. Head back to that farm we just left. We might have a lead." Hotch calls Morgan.
"Morgan." Morgan answers.
"Morgan, we might have a lead. Keep doing what you're doing, but I might call with info and need you to drop what you're doing." Hotch says, excitedly and with new found hope.
"You know it. Just tell me when and where and we are there." Morgan says.
"I'll call you shortly." Hotch hangs up as they turn into the driveway and pull up to the house.
Lucy's at the door, standing with it open. Antsy to give over the info she has. Hotch and Reid rush up the stairs to meet her. Holding his hand out to shake her hand.
"Agent Hotchner, may I see your list? I just talked to my brother. He told me he's with John Logan. At a farm that he is fixing up. Hurting himself enough to need my brother there. I asked my brother where it was at. The only thing he would tell me is it's 30 minutes from here. So if I see your list, I could see if I can tell you which address it would be." Lucy says, kind of as jumpy about finding the girls as Hotch. She wants them found before anything bad happens to them. Henry always seems to do things he wouldn't normally do when with bad people.
"Here." Reid says, hanging over the list. Lucy looks.
"Ok, I believe this is the one." Lucy says, pointing to one of the properties that would've been their last.
"Thank you ma'am!" Hotch yells as he and Reid turn to run to the vehicle and take off. With Emily at their finger tips. They are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Emily starts to open her eyes. She feels a little funny. Like her arms are made of lead. That's when she notices that someone is on top of her. But she can't seem to keep her eyes open or stay conscious.
The next time she is able to open her eyes, she's alone as far as she can tell. She tries to move, but notices she's tied down. In comes John and the doctor.
"John, let me go. I need to use the restroom." Emily says, still kind of groggy.
"Sorry. We have to wait a while longer. We need to give you about 15 minutes to see if my little swimmers find an egg. While you were out, Henry did many tests. Pregnancy was one of them. When you weren't pregnant, then he checked ovulation. You are at the optimal time to conceive. But Henry says that we have to wait 30 minutes after ejaculation with your hips propped up to keep it in the right direction. Then I plugged it up in case you came to and tried to expel it yourself. So in 15 minutes you may use the restroom, after Henry takes a look." John says, smiling at Emily. Emily's in shock, but doesn't let him see her reaction.
"How's Meghan?" Emily asks, expressionless. She didn't want to give John anything.
"She's fine now. She has a bad case of morning sickness. We are treating her and she's doing better."
"May I see her?" Emily wants to see for herself.
"After my swimmers find an egg. Oh did I tell you, Henry gave you a couple of shots to increase the chances to conceive. So, he says that you now have a 98% chance at conceiving." John grins even more now.
Emily's disgusted, but still remains expressionless. So john leaves to go get Meghan. He's gone a few minutes and enters with Meghan. Meghan rushes to her side.
"Em, are you ok?" Meghan asks, with concern.
"Sure sweetie. How are you? They told me about the morning sickness." Emily opens her tied hands as far as she could. Meghan slowly slides into her open arms.
AN2/ I hope that wasn't so bad for those it might have effected. Please don't forget to review. I love hearing from you all. Thanks for reading!
