A/N: Hey! I said that this fic is set after season 7. But there is one small exception: I love Emily, so she is still with the team. This chapter, like the previous one, is from Will's POV. Enjoy reading and don't forget to comment. :)
Scary Moment Of Our Life
Will's POV
We have been here for three hours now. They didn't tell us anything more. We have been trying to find out more about JJ's condition, but every time they repeat the same words, "All we know is that Agent Jareau is in surgery. When the doctors are free they will come and talk with you." Well, at least we know that she is not dead. Always the bad news comes quick, but for the good news, you have to wait. I hope that JJ will be fine. No, I don't just hope, I believe that she will be just fine. She has to be. But… Here is this big "but" that comes. There is a chance that she can die. And that chance is very big, why else they would operate her for… I glanced at my watch. It said 8:10 pm. So that makes almost four hours. I wonder what the others think right now, what they feel. I looked at Henry.
Henry. He is exhausted. I tried to make him take a "little nap" and promised him that we will wake him up when we can see mommy, but he refused. Penelope and Emily also tried, but without success. The last time when I asked him if he want to take a nap, he said to me, "I will wait for mommy. She promised to read me a bedtime story." And who can blame him, he only wants his mother. Just like Hotch said, he will be happy when he sees JJ. So, I leave him to continue to draw pictures. I have to say that they are very beautiful. Well, Penelope is helping him.
Penelope. Even with Henry around, her cheerfulness is gone. She is very quiet, that's unusual for her. I right now miss her cheerfulness. But I understand her. She wants her best friend. I know that when she sees JJ, she will hug her and probably will refuse to let her go.
Derek. He is next to Garcia. He seems that at any moment he will stand up and will punch the wall. I know that he thinks of JJ like her little sister that he doesn't have. Sometimes they are like the dog and cat, but they love each other. Well, he loves teasing everyone on the team.
Emily. She is very nervous. You can say that because she is biting her nails. JJ is her best friend, the sibling that she doesn't have. Their relationship is special. They always know when someone is not okay, when someone needs something. I will always be thankful that she pushed JJ back to me.
Henry interrupted my thoughts, "Daddy, I'm hungry."
Before I can answer Emily decided that she will take him to the cafeteria. Again, I'm thankful that she will do it, because I don't want to leave this seat until I know my wife is ok. Oh, how can I forget? I'm thankful to her that she saved my life.
Derek and Penelope also decided to go to the cafeteria.
"Hey, Will, do you want something to get you?" Derek asked.
"No, thank you." I really wasn't hungry or thirsty. He asked Hotch and Rossi, but both of them didn't want anything. However, Reid wanted coffee.
Spencer. He wants coffee. How this doesn't surprise me. I wonder how much coffee he drank today. Surprisingly, he didn't tell us any statistics. Well, maybe in his mind they go one after another. Does he know so much statistics? Of course, he knows. We are talking about a genius. JJ always takes care of Spencer. I remember when she was blaming herself… Blame…
Hotch. When I said blame I looked at Hotch. He is blaming himself. Even if he is calm, I know that he is blaming himself. Maybe like a boss, he always will feel guilty. But he told me what happened. He can't predict what the unsub is thinking. He couldn't do anything. I'm sure that after JJ woke up, she will make him believe that it isn't his fault.
David. He is like a father figure for JJ. But not just for JJ, for everyone on this team. He looks calm, but I know that he is worried. He loves JJ so much. That's why he organized everything for our wedding.
I saw that the others were coming from the cafeteria. Even that no one wanted coffee, except for Reid, Derek and Emily were carrying one for everyone. Penelope and Henry were chatting about something. Both of them were very excited. They continue their work with the drawings. If it wasn't Henry, perhaps we all would sit and not say a word. I noticed that a doctor was coming to us.
"Family of Agent Jareau." He asked.
"Yes." We all said in unison. I started to repeat in my head the same words, "Please, be okay. Just be okay…"
"I'm Dr. Nelson. I operated Agent Jareau…" He started.
"JJ, please call her JJ." Reid insisted.
"When JJ was brought here she was in a critical stage. We managed to stabilize her and rushed her into surgery. We didn't know how long she will be steady and that's why I didn't come to talk with you. As some of you know JJ was shot on the left of her chest. The bullet punctured her lung. She was losing a lot of blood as well she had some breathing problems. Our intention was to stitch up the rupture in the lung and to remove the bullet. Unfortunately, the bullet was near her heart. While we were operating she coded. But we brought her back. After that, we didn't have any problems. We stitched up JJ's lung and removed the bullet. JJ is going to be ok. Her recovery is going to be long and she will need a lot of help, but I'm sure that with family like you JJ is going to be fine." Dr. Nelson explained.
"When we can see her?" I asked.
"Right now they are moving her in a room. The nurse will take you to her. Probably JJ is going to sleep until tomorrow. She needs to rest a lot." Dr. Nelson answered and walked away.
JJ is going to be okay. She will need a lot of help. I will take off some time off work and will take care of my wife.
"Daddy, is mommy ok?"
"Yes, buddy. Mommy will need to sleep a lot, but she will be okay." Henry's eyes are not so sad anymore.
"Can we see her?" He asked.
"Henry, I want you to go home with Auntie Penelope, so that you can sleep. Tomorrow morning you will see mommy." I know that he didn't want to go, but I don't want him to sleep here.
"Please, daddy, I want to see mommy. I don't want to go home." And the tears run down his cheeks.
"Mommy is sleeping now. She will sleep until tomorrow. When she wakes up you will come and see her." I tried to convince him.
"Please, daddy, don't make me go home. Please." How can I say no to him?
"Okay. I will not make you go home." I lifted him in my hands and gave him a hug. I looked at the others, "Why don't you go home and rest, I and Henry will stay here. When JJ wakes up, she will be happy to see you." I suggested.
"I think Will is right. You heard the doctor, JJ will need our help. But we can't help her if we are exhausted." Rossi agreed with me.
"If you need anything, call" Derek said.
After ten minutes, the nurse came. She left us in front of JJ's room. I took a deep breath and entered the room. JJ was very pale. She was surrounded by many machines. I sat in the chair, which was near the bed, with Henry in my lap.
"Hey baby, Henry and I are here. Don't worry, we are okay, just can't wait to see your blue eyes again." I said and gave a kiss on her hand.
"Daddy, can I give mommy a kiss?" Henry asked. I leaned him over JJ, so that he can kiss her on the cheek.
I was asleep when I felt someone grab me by the hand. I opened my eyes and saw that it was morning, the sunlight was entering through the window. I looked at my watch, it was 8:30 am. Then I remembered that someone grabbed my hand. Henry was still sleeping, but JJ was awake…
"JJ, when did you wake up? Are you in pain?" I looked at her beautiful blue eyes.
"Now and no I'm not in pain." She gave me one of her smiles that makes my heart miss a beat.
"I was worried so much. When Hotch called me and said that… I'm just glad that you are okay. The doctor said that you will have a long recovery, but you are going to be okay. I will make sure of that. I was so scared that you can…" JJ interrupted me.
"Shh, you said I'm okay. Don't worry now. Love you so much and I don't plan to leave you even if you don't want me." She chuckled.
"Love you, too, Jen. I will never let you go." I kissed her on the hand.
"Mommy?" Henry asked sleepily.
"Hey, buddy. I missed you." JJ said.
"I missed you too, mommy. Can I hug you?" Henry asked now fully awake.
"Of course you can."
"Just be careful, Henry." I put him in her arms.
"Love you, mommy." He whispered.
"Love you too, little man." JJ said and kissed his head.
Now when Henry wasn't in my lap I kissed my wife on her lips. That's how the team found us.
"Oh, you are so cute." Said Penelope. I stepped away from the bed to make room for the team.
"Hey, JJ. How are you feeling?" Asked Derek.
"I'm good." She answered.
"And how is the pain? Emily asked when JJ winced.
"Right now I'm not in pain." She lied.
"Are you sure? The statistics said that…" Spenser started.
"Okay, okay. I'm in pain, but it doesn't hurt so much." JJ said.
"Why don't you give me this little guy? I will take him to breakfast." Rossi suggested. This time Henry didn't protest. Now he knows that mommy is going to be okay. JJ looked at Hotch and immediately realized that he feels guilty.
"Hotch, it wasn't your fault. You couldn't know that he will shoot me. Don't blame yourself. Please." Well, after she made the puppy dog eyes, I don't know if anyone can say no to Jen.
Hotch came closer to her and kissed her head. I watched while JJ talked with the team. Her smile told me that she really is going to be okay. I was still worried about her and probably be worried until we get home, but now I'm sure that she will be just fine.
