Chapter 16:
Emily was having the time of her life. Yesterday had been one of the worst and best days of her life, but today was really a great day. She had finally got the chance of waking up with JJ in here arms, and they had spent the morning together, laughing, eating and sharing stories. Now they were both laughing about something really silly, and they were "Emily&JJ" again.
Emily looked over at the other woman and froze. The smile and laughter had faded from JJ's face, and she was obviously in pain. The younger woman grimaced and put her left hand up to the side of her face.
"JJ, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Emily kept asking JJ, but the other woman didn't respond. It was like she didn't hear JJ. Emily panicked, she called for the nurses and tried to get JJ to focus, but the blond was in so much pain so Emily wasn't sure if she was with her or not.
When JJ's eyes rolled upwards and to the back of her head, and her body began to shake, Emily fell to her knees and screamed.
"JENNIFER!"
A nurse came through the door and immediately called for backup and that Dr. Draper was paged.
"Ma'am, I need you to step outside so the doctors can help your friend." Emily was in shock and her mind was on autopilot. When she was told to leave the room, she stumbled her way out to the hall where she was met by Cindy, Nathan and Garcia.
"Emily? What happened?" Garcia to a hold of the other woman and tried to get through to Emily.
"I...I don't know Garcia. One moment we're laughing and the next she's in so much pain, and then she starts to shake and her eyes just falls back into her head and..." Emily broke down and started to sob, and Garcia quickly pulled her into her arms.
"Oh, kitten! Let's go to the waiting area, I'm sure they'll come update us when they know more." Slowly Garcia managed to drag the sobbing woman, with JJ's parents following closely behind.
Once Emily calmed down, she turned to Cindy and Nathan.
"I am so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Jareau! I don't know what I did wrong!" She was on the verge of tears and couldn't look them in the eyes.
"Emily," Nathan called out softly. "sweetheart, you didn't do anything wrong. You told us that you and Jenny was laughing? Well, it's good to hear that her memories were coming back to her." Emily looked shocked, how could he be so calm when they didn't know what happened to JJ?
"I know you're wondering how I can be so calm about all this, but what is there to do? Yes, I could freak out, but in the end it won't do me any good. So, I'm trying to stay calm for Jenny." Nathan walked closer to the brunette and tilted her head up, so she was looking him in the eye.
"I do not blame you for the things that happened to Jenny. Not one single thing. And I need you to remember that, Emily! You are the most important person for her and she is going to need you. So, for her sake, stop blaming yourself!" The big man carefully wrapped his arms around the brunette profiler and hugged her tightly.
"Hotch!", Morgan called on the unit chief from the conference room. Hotch looked up and walked over to Morgan.
"I just got a text from Garcia, JJ has gotten worse. Something happened to her this morning and she had a seizure or something."
"Are you done here?" The team leader asked the profiler.
"Yes." Hotch nodded and looked around. Both Reid and Rossi were done.
"Then let's go!"
The team quickly gathered their stuff and went to the hospital.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jareau, Emily, ms. Garcia" Dr. Draper greeted them.
"JJ is currently unconscious, but I believe she will be fine when she wakes up."
"What happened to her Doctor? We were laughing and then, suddenly, she was in so much pain. She couldn't even speak!"
"Emily, you didn't cause this. When JJ's memories came back through her dream, her dreams set the pace, and it was slow enough for her brain. This morning, something caused a trigger in her brain and her memories flooded back, but there was no control and it happened too fast. Her brain didn't know what to do, how to feel, so she was in pain. When she seized, her brain cut it self off and she lost all control."
"What happens when she regain consciousness?"
"Only time will tell. But I do believe that a lot of her memory will be back. When she does wake up, it's important to keep her calm. I'll be examine her as soon as that happens."
"Can I see her?" Emily whispered. She needed to see JJ, needed to know that she was really going to be okay.
"I'm allowing only two at the time in her room. And you need to keep her calm." Emily nodded in understanding. As long as she got to stay with JJ, she would do anything they ordered her to do.
"What about the discharging?" Garcia asked.
"I can't say anything about that yet. I need to talk to JJ and examine here first." The four of them nodded and they all stood looking at each other without saying anything.
"Do you have any more questions for me?" Eva hated her job sometimes. Tell these people things like this really sucked. JJ had been doing so well, and now she had a set-back.
They all shock their head, and the doctor gave them a small nod.
"Okay, then. I need to check on some of my other patients. I will be back to update you once JJ wakes up." The doctor turned around and walked away from the small group.
"Emily, sweetie? Why don't you and I go and get you some breakfast?" Garcia carefully looked at the brunette profiler. Emily just nodded. Somehow her shoes were really interesting.
"Emily? Look at me please." Cindy asked softly, and slowly Emily raised her head. "Sweetheart, you go with Garcia and get something to eat and drink. Nate and I will stay with JJ, and once you're back, you can come and sit with her. How does that sound?" Emily felt tears running down her cheek. These people she barely knew were treating her with such love and respect.
"Thank you." Emily blinked and tried to stop the tears. She turned to Garcia, and the tow of them walked down the hall and to the deli across the street.
The two of them sat down on a quiet table after ordering food and drinks.
"You never told me about your night!" Garcia said nonchalantly while studying the other woman.
"It was crazy Pen." Emily sighed and a little smiled formed on her lips. "We talked about the things she had remembered. And then she asked me what "we" were."
"What do you mean "we"?" Before the brunette could reply a waitress came by with their food and coffees.
"She and I. She said she felt this connection between us. Both from her memories and when we were together. So I told her Pen. I told her everything." Emily confessed after the waitress left the table.
"What did she say?" Garcia was a little shocked. She knew the brunette had a crush on JJ, but she thought Emily would never tell her about it. She had tried to tell Emily, over and over again, that JJ wouldn't cut her off as a friend and that either way they would find a solution.
"She told me she didn't care if I was gay and that she liked me too! Can you believe it Garcia? She likes me too!" Emily's face lit up when she talked about JJ.
"Is this were I say "I told you so"?" The blonde mocked. Her smiled matched Emily's and she was happy for her friend.
"It's so typical that something like this happens!" Emily sighed and looked down at her coffee cup.
"Something like what?"
"When I finally gather up the courage to tell her that I like her, I cause her to have seizure." Emily looked sad and shock her had. "I'm just a heap of bad luck!"
