Chapter XI

"It has been our fate, among all the innumerable generations of mankind, to face the most frightful calamity that has ever befallen the world."

"The Vital Message" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

…

"I thought you were supposed to be well articulated. I mean you were the media liaison after all." JJ was still in shock. Now she remembered the room, it was her room from when she was a kid and the person standing in front of her was the person she had lost over twenty years ago.

"Rosaline?" It was so unreal she standing there; she appeared to be still 17 years old but her eyes held a sparkle JJ hadn´t seen in a long time, she seemed happy . "How?" She looked around once more. "Am I…" JJ couldn´t finish the sentence.

"Dead?" The other blond finished for her with a smile on her face. "No Jenny. You are not dead."

"Then why am I here? Why are you here?" The confusion was evident on the profiler voice.

"Hey that hurts! You haven´t see me in over twenty years and you don´t even say hello." She was messing with her, JJ missed it but right now she really needed answers.

"I´m sorry but you have to understand this…"She said waving her hands indicating the room and her sister. "Is freaking me out a bit so hello and what is going on here?"

"Yeah I know sorry." She smiled once again. JJ felt a pang in her heart she missed that smile. "I believe you are dreaming."

"Then you are a dream?" The young blond was trying to make since of all that was happening.

"Not exactly."Now she was really confused. "You see Jenny; everything here is your dream except for me. It´s kind of complicated but trust me when I say everything is going to be okay."

"Okay so you are really here, inside my dream right? Why?" She was so happy to see her sister again but she had a weird feeling not everything was okay as she told her.

"Yes I´m here. The why…I´m not sure. I guess it has something to do with what happened to you." She moved closer to her little sister.

"What happened to me? What are you talking…?" Suddenly JJ remembered. She was kidnapped by the UnSub, Jenna was with her and then the team saved them.

"Your team found you guys in time. You are in the hospital right now." JJ expression changed, she wasn´t confused anymore, she was relieved but scared at the same time.

"I…I still don´t understand why you are here." Rosaline was now inches from JJ.

"I think I´m supposed to tell you everything it´s going to be okay and to not give up."

"Give up? What do you mean?" Rosaline took JJ´s hands, the blonde profiler was surprised they were warm and she could actually feel them. Tears began to form in her eyes.

"I told you before that you weren´t dead, but it doesn´t mean you are out of danger." She tightened her hold.

"You mean… I still can die?" She began to tremble.

"It depends of you. You are the only person who can decide that." The older sister wanted to do more for her little sister but her time was limited.

"Can I ask you something?"

"You already did?" Both laughed. "Go on."

"Are you happy?" Rosaline thought she was going to ask why she killed herself so JJ´s question surprised her.

"I am."She answered honestly. "But I miss you and mom very much." The tears were rolling down her face. "I´m sorry Jenny."

"I miss you too, so does mom." JJ was still trying to hold back the tears by now it was barely impossible. "And I´m so sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry about Jenny." She caressed JJ´s face. "I love you JJ."

"I love you too." Now the tears were going down her face.

"Dad misses you and mom a lot." JJ's eyes widened.

"Dad? Wait, can I see him?" Her heart was bumping fast.

"Sorry Jenny, but you can´t." The sad expression on JJ´s face broke her heart.

"It was worth the try." Then something occurred to her, if Rosaline was here and she told her about her dad then maybe… "Hey Rosie…Is…have you seen Will?" She saw her sister smiled.

"Yeah, I have. He´s a really good man and he miss you but he also wants you to be happy."

"I miss him too and tell him I´m happy now." Her happiness what with Henry and her mother and her team, it was with her family.

"I will. Now Jenny I have to go." She let go of her little sister hands.

"So soon? Can you stay a little longer? I have so many questions." She tried to move but her legs didn´t respond.

"I´m sorry. I know you do but I can´t stay and remember you are the only one that can decide if you stay or no." She said, her figure vanishing before JJ´s eyes.

"But how? What am I suppose to do?" JJ felt lost, she was still on her room but now she was alone. The blonde went to her bed and sat there, she took the photo from the night stand.

Going back means she would have to face the pain and what happened to her and staying means she would never see her family again. ´Facing the pain and what comes after or staying in this place without killers and suffering?' JJ smiled, she knew what she had to do. Rosaline was there not only to make her feel calm and good but also to make her remember what was important to her. ´Goodbye´ She said and everything became black.

….

Reid was sitting beside JJ´s bed, reading, he has been doing the same for the past three days. The doctor kept telling them she was stable and was doing well, but she had still to wake up, he had said it would take time but they could see in his eyes he was concerned, just like them.

After the team left the first day he and Emily had stayed there with JJ. They talk about a lot of things like books, movies and even about her time in Paris, it had felt good to finally talk about that specific topic. Then the next day only two people could be with her at a time so they took turns.

JJ´s mother had arrived no long after the team left the first day; she wanted to be there with her daughter immediately, so did Garcia but Morgan and Sam told them what the doctor said about JJ´s condition and they opted to see her first thing in the morning. Both women stayed with JJ most of the morning, the team understood they wanted as much time with her as possible and because they had more time with her already they decided it was the best.

The second day passed without any complication but also without improvement. Then the third day arrived and things were pretty much the same. Reid was with Hotch but the older profiler had gone outside to make a call and that´s how he ended in the room alone with her.

Outside Hotch was talking with Cruz he, wanted to be there as well but it was impossible with his position. He had told the team to take the week off of work, they needed it and as expected no one went back home, they all stayed for JJ and for each other.

Henry had been asking for her mother since they landed, he knew something was wrong. Sandy didn´t want to tell him exactly what was wrong, he was too young for that. But Henry was a smart kid and the second day he already had an idea of what happened, because his mommy wasn´t there with him and the team and because she hadn´t even called to tell him his bed time story. Sandy and the team had decided to not tell Henry until JJ woke up and sadly that hadn´t happened yet.

Sam had been with Sandy all the time, he wanted to feel useful and being there for her helped him. He would go to the hospital and sit with JJ for some time but guilt then would attack him making him leave the room. It was too much, see her connected to a machine that helps her breath, to see her pale skin and the colors adorning her face, it was too much for him. He opted then to pass his time at the police station, his home and with Sandy and little Henry who look just like his mommy, it hurt him and he deserved it at least that´s what he thought.

It was getting dark now, Doctor Williams had informed the nurse about the special schedule the team had. They were supposed to stay a little longer but then again only two people after the visiting hours. It was Reid´s and Hotch time to be there.

"Did you like the story?" He asked her. It was obvious she wasn´t going to answer him still it felt right to talk to her. Reid thought, well actually he knew she could hear him, and maybe hearing his voice and the team and her mother even Detective Daniels ´voice would make her wake up, but nothing changed. "It´s one of my favorite but you know, I love every story of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." He smiled toying with the book he was currently holding.

Just then Hotch came back in. "Reid I have to go to the police station. Are you okay here alone?" He asked the young profiler, Hotch knew the answer of course.

"Yeah sure. Is everything alright?"

"Yes, everything is fine. They just need me to finish something concerning the case." Reid nodded and both said goodbye.

"Now it´s just you and me JJ." Spencer said taking her hand, it was cold. "You need to wake up JJ; you are making us worry." He chuckled. "You know, Henry has been asking for you a lot. We don´t want to tell him just yet and we don´t want him to see you like this." He put the book on the nightstand behind him and came closer to her. "So JJ you have to wake up. I know you´re tired but I also know you are strong. So I´m sure you will wake up." He said in a whisper. "JJ I don´t know what I would do without you. Please wake up."

Suddenly he felt her squeeze his hand. "JJ? Can you hear me? Squeeze my hand if you can?" He waited for her to do it, maybe it was his imagination, and just before he convinced himself of it she squeezed again. "That´s it! Now I just need you to open your eyes." Maybe he was asking too much but he would try it anyway.

…..

It was dark, her room was gone, her sister was gone and now she stood there alone. JJ had no idea where she was or where to go, everything was so dark. ´Am I suppose to do something?' I don´t like this place. I already made my decision. Why am I still here? ´ She sounded like a kid but the feeling of being alone and in complete darkness had a weird effect on her. ´I made my decision! Why am I still here?' She looked around trying to find something indicating a way out of the horrible place. 'I could even do with an exit signal or something. Okay now I´m being ridiculous. ´ She thought.

"Mommy!"She heard Henry said. JJ tried to search the source of the voice but there was none. "Mommy wake up you promised! You said we would play today!"Now the sound was louder and clearer then again she couldn´t find her boy.

"Henry!" She yelled while moving around the place. "Where are you?" She was about to go back when a light appeared no far from her. She ran as fast as she could towards it. When she finally reached it she saw a small TV on the floor. Henry was on it so was JJ. "What the…" She remember that moment, it was from a week ago. It was her day off so she promised Henry she would play with him and do whatever the little boy wanted to do that day.

"Mommy!" She sat down to watch her little boy. Then the scene changed and she was at their usual bar with the team. She couldn´t hear them well but they were all laughing and having a good time. It changed again but this time she was alone at the BAU, she couldn´t tell if it was late night or early morning until the rest of the team began to show up. One by one they said good morning to her and went to work, Reid gave her a cup of coffee like usual. Then Hotch called for them and they went to the conference room. The image changed one more time; she was at the park with Henry and her mother, just walking with smiles on their faces and then the screen went black.

"No no, no, no!" She shouted hitting the TV. "No! I want to see them! Let me see them!" She was crying. "I want to go back! Let me go back!" She screamed, maybe it was because of the crying or the screaming, she didn´t know but her chest began to hurt. "Shit…" Followed by her head and then her side. "I just want to go back…" was the last thing she said before collapsing on the floor.

When she opened her eyes again everything was still black but it felt different. She could hear someone talking besides her. She realized her eyes were close but she wasn´t in the same dark place like before.

"Did you like the story?" It was Spencer´s voice. She forced her eyes to open but they weren´t cooperating. She heard someone else talking but she wasn't sure of his voice. "You need to wake up JJ; you are making us worried."She tried again but nothing. She was getting desperate. JJ felt Reid´s hand on her. "You know, Henry has been asking for you a lot…" Hearing her little boy´s name gave her strength, she tried harder. "…JJ I don´t know what I would do without you. Please wake up." She heard him pleading. It occurred to her that maybe if her eyelids didn´t want to cooperate then maybe her hand would. So she squeezed with all she had. "JJ? Can you hear me? Squeeze my hand if you can?" It worked but it had taken a lot of effort, she waited a bit and then tried again. JJ heard Reid exited voice, it made her happy but then he asked her to open her eyes.

"I know you can JJ." He said again, he was sure she could do it.

He was asking a lot she thought but the blonde tried again anyway. This time a line of white light was what she saw. It bothered her eyes.

"That´s it, just a little bit more." He was encouraging her; it felt good to hear his voice. She so wanted to open her eyes and see him. After a couple of poor attempts she did it and the first thing she saw was his smiling face. "Hi. Welcome back."

JJ attempted to speak when she realized something was obstructing her ability to do it. She looked down and saw the tube, panic began to overwhelm her. Her breathing was erratic making the pain from her side even worse. The machine monitoring her heart was emitting a loud beeping sound, alerting the nurse.

"What´s going on in here?" She asked Reid not noticing JJ was awake.

"She woke up and freak out because of the tube. I´m trying to calm her. "He said without moving his eyes from the blonde. The nurse went to get the doctor. "JJ, listen to me. I need you to calm down okay. The nurse went to call the doctor, he´s going to be here any minute and if he sees you like this he won´t want to take this thing out. You understand?" She looked at him; his voice and face were calm, making her calmed a little, as she did so did the machine. "That´s it."

She was scared so she held Reid´s hand as tight as she could. He smiled putting his other hand over hers. Just when he was about to say something the doctor came in.

"Jennifer, I´m so glad you are finally awake." He told her sincerely. "Now I need you to indicate me how is the pain."

JJ thought about it, she could still feel pain on her side but now she was aware of the rest of her body. Her head was throbbing; her entire left leg hurt and her shoulders bother her. She held seven fingers without letting go of Spencer´s hand.

"Very well then, your breathing has been stable this couple of days." She looked at him and then to Reid and then back to the doctor, he noticed it. "You have been here for almost four days now." The monitor emitted a beeping again but this time it wasn´t as fast as before. "We´ll tell you everything later but now we are going to take the tube out and then I want you to tell me how you feel okay?" She nodded.

Reid was about to move to give them space but JJ stopped him, her eyes wide and her breathing fast. He looked at the doctor; he moved his head in an affirmative way. "I´m not going anywhere." He told her.

"Okay Jennifer. I´m going to count to three, on three I want you to cough as hard as you can alright? It´s going to hurt but is the only way." She nodded once again. "Alright. One, two, three." As he said, she coughed and the tube was out.

"Breath JJ." Reid told her, she hadn´t stop coughing and her face was a mask of pain.

"Jennifer you need to take deep breaths." She did causing pain to go all over her side and chest. "I know it hurts but you have to."

"You did really good JJ." Spencer said squeezing her hand.

"How is the breathing Jennifer?" Doctor Williams asked it was his bigger concern.

"Good." Her voice was raspy and more like a whisper. She was surprised to find how hard and painful it was to say a word.

"Alright. I´m still a little worry so I want you to use this." He said pointing the nasal cannula the nurse was holding. "It´s just for now. I want you to get use to breathing on your own. Then we will take them off as well so you can breathe normally. We don´t want you to use it for an extended period of time because it´s import for you to breathe properly on your own, that way your lungs can heal as they should." He explained while the nurse helped JJ with the cannula. "We are going to move you to another room so your friends can visit you within normal hours."

"Do you think it´s a good idea doctor?" Spencer asked him.

"Yes I do. My only concern was she not waking up that´s why she stayed here for so long. Now that she´s awake and seems to be well within her condition I don´t see why not. Of course someone will be watching over her constantly so don´t worry."

"Thank you doctor." He said goodbye but stopped him before he left the room. "Wait doctor. Can I call the rest of the team and her mother so they can come and see her with their own eyes?"

Doctor Williams´ considered the idea. He saw the team go in and out of this room for the past three days. No one ever left her alone, and then he saw her mother. "It´s still visit time so I don´t see why not. I´ll warned you though, she may fall asleep before they arrived; the painkillers are pretty strong."

"That´s okay, she´s suborned she would want to wait for them, but if she does falls asleep they would still want to be here just to see her." He thanked him and saw him leave the room. The nurse then approached him.

"A team will come to get her to her new room in a few minutes. Why don´t you stay here and wait for them so then you can see where she´s going to be from now on."

"Thank you. I will." She smiled and left as well, leaving him alone with JJ once more. He sat down. "Hi."

"Hi." She said with a faint smile. Her eyelids felt heavy but she didn´t want to go to sleep afraid of going to the dark room again.

"How are you feeling?" Dumb question you genius he scolded himself.

"I´ve been better." Her voice was stronger but not like Reid´s. "I´m thirsty." Her throat felt dry like her mouth. Reid stood up and poured some water; he then took a straw and held the glass close to her. She took a few seeps, her through felt much better now.

"I´m so happy you woke up JJ." His voice was full of emotion. "You had us worried."

"I´m sorry." She tried a smile again, this time it actually looked like one.

"I´m just glad you are back. The team has been here every day, so has your mom and Sam." He was still angry with the Detective but he knew JJ would want to know of him.

"Me too." She was getting tired her eyelids were giving up.

"Rest JJ. Everyone will be here with you when you wake up again." He told her caressing her hand.

"No…" she began to protest but the fatigue won.

"Everything will be okay now, I promised. I´ll be there for you." He told her once he knew she was sleeping. Reid went outside to call the team and JJ´s mother and he would ask Hotch to inform Detective Daniels of JJ´s condition. He had a permanent smile on his face by now and why shouldn't he? His friend, the most important person for him had finally woken up and he couldn´t be happier.

I know everything looks really good and without problems but just wait, JJ still has demons to face and the team still needs to hear her side of the story. Review!
