Chapter 8:

JJ continued to ask Emily questions about herself and the team. Emily told her about their Unit Chief, Aron Hotchner, the man with the stone face, but a heart of gold, SSA David Rossi, one of the original profilers, recently rejoined the BAU, SSA Derek Morgan the big, strong, scary man, but cute as a teddybear, SSA Dr. Spencer Reid, the boy genius with 4 Ph.D.'s and technician, or tech goddess as Emily referred her as Penelope Garcia.

She also learned how they worked as a family. Morgan was the protective big brother, Reid the geeky little brother, Garcia the perky big sister and also best friend and Hotch and Rossi as some kind of parents, making sure they all stayed out of trouble.

"Well, that's the team" Emily said with a smile.

JJ shock her head and said softly: "Nope. What about you? The only thing I know is that your name is Emily and that you're obviously my friend."

"What do you want to know?" the brunette asked, smiling.

"Ehmm... Everything!" the blonde exclaimed, witch caused both women to laugh at the statement.

"Everything would take some time and I don't know how interesting it would be. But you can ask me anything and I'll try to answer"

"Hmm..." The blond tok a moment to think. "Let's start easy. Full name, age and position in the team? You're part of the team, right?"

"Yes. I'm like Hotch, Rossi, Morgan and Reid; a profiler. My full name is Emily Elisabeth Prentiss and I'm 37."

"And what are you to me?"

"What do you mean?"

"In our weird work family, who are you?" JJ looked curious at Emily.

"Oh, I haven't really thought about that. I guess I'm the geeky, weird big sister, kind of a loner." Emily shrugged her shoulders and JJ looked surprised.

"Why the look?" Emily questioned.

"You are so kind and loving, no way you are a loner!"

"Besides the team, I don't have anyone close, and I don't make friends easy." Emily shrugged her shoulders again.

"Oh... Well, lucky for me then! I get you all to myself!" the blond smiled and winked.

JJ was getting tired and she tried to hide it, but Emily being one of the best profilers in the world and her friend caught on.

"JJ, maybe you should take a nap?" Emily lifted her hand and stroked her cheek.

"Yeah, maybe I should. But will you be here when I wake up again?" Emily could hear the fear in her voice.

"Of course I'll be here! But if I'm not, I'm probably just around the corner. I need to speak to the team about you and talk to your parents. If that's alright by you?"

"Yes", JJ mumbled sleepy, "but promise you'll come back?"

"Always! Now sleep, beautiful!" Emily leaned over and kissed her cheek softly. JJ let out a content sigh, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Emily stood looking at JJ for five minutes before slowly standing up and walked out of the room. She went back to the waiting area where Morgan, Rossi and Reid were sitting.

"Emily! How is she?" Morgan was at his feet when he saw his friend.

"She's lost her memory. When we entered her room earlier she was frightened by him because she didn't remember him." The agents looked at her with disbelief.

"But other than that she is fine. It tok some time to calm her down after Will was arrested, but she is sleeping now. Somehow, someway it seams that she remembers me. Not who I am to her though, but she remembers me rescuing her," Emily continued, and gave the other men a small smile. The four agents sat in silence, all of them thinking about what they could have done differently. Neither of them liked feeling this useless.

"Derek I think I need to eat something. I don't want to leave JJ. Do you know where I could get some deasent food around here?" Emily looked at her best friend. She really needed something to eat.

"Yeah. I spotted a deli nearby. Let's go princess! You guys want anything?" Morgan looked at Rossi and Reid, who both nodded.

Once the pair where out of earshot of the others Morgan tok his time to really look at his best friend.

"How are you holding up, Emily?"

"I don't know Derek. I am so glad that we found her, but seeing her so fragile and not herself, it breaks my heart." Morgan enveloped the brunette in a hug and held her close.

"I know, I know!" Morgan whispered into her hair.

"But it'll all work out in the end, Emily. You know JJ is strong, and even though she may not remember, we will help her every step of the way. And she is so lucky to have you." He smiled as the walked out of the hospital and over to a nearby deli.

Morgan opened his phone and reads a text while they wait in line.

"The Jareau's and Garcia are on their way from the airport." He informs her.

"Oh, we should pick up something for them too. And we need to hurry, I want to speak to Nathan and Cindy before JJ wakes up!" Morgan can see that Emily is starting to freak out a little and grabs her shoulders.

"Emily! Calm down. It's going to be okay. You know JJ's parents and JJ won't wake up until we're back." Emily takes some deep breath and smiles at him.

"Thank you Morgan."

The workers of the deli are a good team and soon they walk out of the little coffee shop with 8 cups of coffee and some sandwiches.
