It seems as though I had another brief encounter with writers block, but hopefully that isn't evident here. If you have any suggestions for what you want to happen in the story I would appreciate them! Well, on to the chapter I guess. Enjoy :)

I do not own Criminal Minds

JJ continued to pace up and down the aisle feverishly. She could see the men glancing at her every so often, but she couldn't help herself. Eventually the plane was about to land so she sat in her seat fidgeting.

The second the plane hit the ground and the doors opened JJ already had her bag in hand and was halfway out the plane.

"JJ!" She heard someone call after her as she hurried to her car. She turned slightly, but didn't slow down. It was Morgan, "JJ wait up," He ran over with his own bag. "Let me give you a ride to the hospital," He offered.

JJ was about to immediately refuse, but then she changed her mind. She didn't feel she should be driving right now. She got into Morgan's passenger seat and could see the rest of the team was getting in their cars.

"They are also going straight to the hospital." Morgan told her.

JJ tapped her foot and the floor of the car the whole way to the hospital.

"JJ I get that your worried about Emily, we all are. But is there something else going on?" Morgan glanced over at her.

"Nothing else is going on," She said absentmindedly. As she heard herself say that she realized she sounded just like Emily. She said the same words that had agitated her for so long.

They pulled into the hospital and quickly walked in. The rest of the team was right behind them. JJ went to the front desk and they gave her Emily's room number.

As if Garcia had been sensing the arrival of the team she stood at the doorway of the private room they had brought Emily to. She saw them running down the hall and couldn't help but feel relieved. She knew it was selfish, but she just didn't know what to do. She didn't know how to comfort Emily.

"How is she?" JJ asked the second she saw Garcia.

Garcia shook her head, "She's not good. They took the baby and wouldn't even let her see her. But she has been asking for you."

When JJ heard this she sidestepped Garcia. She walked into the room and saw the brunette lying in the hospital bed. She looked so small. JJ saw makeup smeared across her face, and her eyes were still red. Hotch, Morgan, Rossi, and Reid followed. They all stood surrounding her hospital bed.

"Emily," JJ ran over and pulled Emily into a hug. Emily saw her and hugged back greedily. They pulled out of the embrace and a single tear rolled down Emily's face. "They wouldn't let me hold her," Emily whispered. Morgan took his thumb and wiped the tear off her cheek.

JJ felt her heart swell. Emily sounded like a small child, "I know Em," JJ stroked her face with her soft hand, "But everything is going to be okay," It has to be, JJ thought to herself.

JJ didn't even care that the rest of the team was here. She just wanted to be able to comfort Emily. Their gazes locked and it said more than Emily could manage to sputter out of her shaking lips.

"Let me go get you a glass of water," Rossi offered.

Emily nodded and smiled. She couldn't even get any words out. She quickly looked up with her eyes to try to prevent another tear from falling.

"It's okay Em," JJ told her. She took Emily's hand in hers and gave it a squeeze.

"I need to get up," Emily said.

"I don't know if you should," Hotch told her.

"I can't just lie here. " Emily simply said back, she had no power to fight.

She slowly sat up and pulled her legs over to the side of the bed. JJ put her hand on her back and helped her stand up. She took a shaky step and walked with JJ's help to the bathroom that was in her room.

"Will you be okay?" JJ asked.

Emily nodded, and with great reluctance she let go of JJ's hand. She walked into the bathroom and couldn't help but be shocked when she looked in the mirror. She ran her hands under the cold water and washed her face. Using soap Emily scrubbed at the makeup that was smeared across her face. Finally after she managed to get it off she combed her hair with her fingers. She still looked like hell, but she looked better. Emily then opened the door and stepped out. The rest of the team was still standing in her room. They immediately turned their attention back to her. Rossi immediately handed Emily a glass of water. Out of courtesy she took a sip, but then set it on the table.

"I need to see my baby," Emily whispered to JJ. She nodded and took Emily's hand. Morgan took the other side of Emily and wrapped his hand around her waist for support. Together they walked out of the room. The rest of the team was following them. As they stepped out they were met by Emily's doctor.

"I was just about to come talk to you," She said with an expression that even none of the profilers could read.

"What is it?" Emily asked cautiously.

"We ran some tests on your baby, and we found something out," The doctor retained the same expression.

Are you going to tell me what it is, Emily wanted to shout. But instead she took a deep breath, "What did you find?"

"We found that your daughter has Patent ductus arteriosus."

Emily felt a shock shake her body, "What is that?"

"When an infant is born, one of their blood vessels which is no longer needed closes. Hers didn't" The doctor answered.

Emily didn't know exactly what this meant but for some reason it hit her hard. She knew that this was something bad. Before Emily knew what was happening her legs went out from under her. Morgan caught her before she could fall. Emily shook her head, this couldn't be happening. Not to her baby! New tears filled her eyes. God why can't I stop crying, she criticized herself.

"Come on Princess," She heard Morgan whisper in her ear as he slowly lead her back to her hospital bed.

"No, I need to-"

"You've got a whole group of people who can do that. Right now you need to lie down." He helped her get into her bed. She pulled her knees into her chest and rested her head on them. She felt Morgan methodically rubbing her shoulder, "It's going to be okay Princess," Morgan hoped he wasn't lying to her.

"What exactly does this mean?" Hotch asked the doctor.

"It means her blood vessel, the ductus arteriosus, did not close after birth like it should have. We were able to catch it early by running tests."

"What is going to happen to her?" Hotch asked in a serious tone.

"We are going to start treating her with the medication indomethacin which should be able to help close it," She told him the treatment plan.

"What is the prognosis?"

"In the unlikely case that it doesn't close it can lead to heart problems or an infection. But if the medicine doesn't work we will perform surgery."

Hotch closed his eyes briefly and took a breath in. He gave her a curt nod saying he understood what she was saying, but didn't like it. "When can Emily see her?" He asked.

"As soon as she is ready," The Doctor answered, "The NICU is just down the hall from here." She pointed it out to Hotch.

The doctor was about to leave but JJ quickly stopped her. "Do you know why she went into premature labor?"

"Well there were a few risks in her pregnancy. The great deal of stress she was in was probably one of the biggest contributors. She told one of our ER doctors that one of her friends was shot." The doctor explained not realizing the significance of the words she spoke.

JJ instinctively reached for her chest where the vest had stopped the bullet. Suddenly the pain became worse. Her mouth dropped open and her breaths turned shallow.

"JJ you can't think that you're the reason this happened," Hotch said. But before he could say anymore JJ was briskly walking down the hall. Her shoulders were slightly hunched down and her head hung low. Before any of the men could make a move she turned the corner and was out of there sight.

I hope that you enjoyed the chapter, and as you all know I absolutely love comments :)
