A/N: Hi! I am sorry for the long wait! But to make it up to you I have two chapters for you!:)


Chapter 9:

Ten minutes after Emily and Morgan returned with the coffee, Nathan and Cindy arrived with Hotch and Garcia. When Emily spotted JJ's parents she stood from her seat and walked over to greet them.

"Mr. and Mrs. Jareau." She smiled politely and held out her hand.

"Emily, how many times have we been over this?" Nathan asked before he pulled her into a hug. Emily blushed and mumbled something like "probably too many". After Cindy had greeted her too, they sat down.

"JJ is asleep right now." Emily started, after offering the Jareau's coffee. "After we spoke the second time, I told her you were coming to see her. She asked me some questions about you and I tried to answer. When she wakes up later, I will tell her that you have arrived." Emily looked at Nathan first and then Cindy. "If that's okay with you?" she asked. "I know you want to see her, but I think maybe I should at least tell her that you are here. I don't want her to wake up alone and scared with two strangers." Emily nervously rambled while looking from Cindy to Nathan and back again. Cindy placed a hand on the nervous agent's shoulder.

"Emily, calm down. Of course it's okay for us. We only want JJ to be better. And right now the only person she recognizes is you."

"After I've told her you are here, I'm sure she would like to meet her." The parents nodded in agreement.

"We would like that very much Emily" Nathan said, holding his wife's hand tightly.

"If you'll excuse me, I need to find the doctor and tell her you have arrived. I'm sure she'll come by and tell you more about JJ's medical condition. And after that I am returning to JJ's room to be there when she wakes up. I'll have a nurse come and get you when she is ready." With a polite smile, Emily stood from her seat and walked towards JJ's room.


When she reached the nurse station outside JJ's room she asked someone to page Dr. Draper before she silently slipped into JJ's room. Inside the room she found JJ asleep and she walked over to place a kiss on her cheek before sitting down in the chair next to the bed. Emily reached out to take JJ's hand and stroke it softly.

"Hi Emily. You paged me?" Dr. Draper called softly as she entered the room.

"Yes. Thank you for coming so soon. I just wanted to tell you that JJ's parents is here."

"Oh, that's good news." The doctor smiled.

"I was also wondering if you could maybe explain to them what happened? In a medical way." Emily asked.

"Of course! How was your talk with JJ earlier?"

"It was good. She asked me about her parents and our friends. She does seamed a little sad that she don't remember anything, but I think she is dealing extremely well." The doctor nodded, and started to look at the machines JJ was hooked up to and reading over her chart.

"Everything here looks good. If there is anything else I'll go and talk to her parents now?" The brunette nodded and gave an affirmative smile.

The door was closed silently after the doctor and Emily was once again alone with her thoughts.


Suddenly JJ began to toss in her bed and silently cry. It was like she was trying to shake someone or something off.

"Please, please! Don't! Let me go! Please!" JJ pleaded softly with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Emily was on her feet instantly. Her hand stroke JJ's face and hair while she spoke to the frightened woman.

"Wake up, honey. It's only a bad dream. I am right here, open your eyes, love. I promise you no one will hurt you." Emily whispered softly and slowly JJ's eyelids fluttered.

"That's it baby. Open those eyes for me. I am right here and I will protect you!" JJ blinked rapidly and looked around.

"Hey, you are safe now, my love!" Emily pulled JJ gently into a hug, and the blonde broke down in her arms. Emily just held her and whispered sweet things of nothing in her ear.


When JJ had calmed down, Emily untangled herself from the blond and sat down on her bed. She brought her hand to JJ's cheek and lovingly dried away the last tears. JJ sniffed and occasionally hiccuped.

"What monster was hunting you, darling?" Emily softly asked, her hand carefully caressing the hurt woman's cheek.

"I...It was about a man. He wouldn't stop asking questions about who I was. I kept telling him that I was Supervisory Special Agent Jennifer Jareau of the BAU a branch of the FBI, but he got angry and hit me and kept hitting me." While JJ talked, Emily slowly started to proses what she had been told. When JJ woke up and Will was there, she didn't know who she was, so there was no way she could have told him her name and rank.

"Jen, honey? Could you try to describe the room where you were?" At Emily's question, the fear returned to JJ's eyes. "I know it's hard, bur remember that I am here! And I'll never leave you!"

"The room was dark and small." The blonde started, she closed her eyes and tok some deep breaths. Her hand reached for Emily's and when she felt the brunette give her hand a gentle squeeze she opened her eyes again. "The walls were made of concrete. And he was sitting on a chair." After she finished the sentence, she fell into Emily's arms and started to sob again.

"You are doing so good sweetie! Relax now. He can't hurt you! Not now and not ever again!" Emily just held her tight.
