A/N What may have happened in the hospital that day Emily "died." I'm sorry, I have a bit of an obsession with this episode! Oh, just wait until I get to season 7 and Em comes back hehehe. I'm on season 6 episode 24 right now... Anywho PLEASE REVIEW! Thanks Love ya'll! And sorry these have been so depressing!

Emily's eyes fluttered open, and all she could feel was pain. She moaned and heard someone say,"She's awake!"

"Can you tell us your name?" Emily heard a nurse asked her.

"Prentiss. SSA Agent Emily Prentiss," Emily choked out.

"Let me see her," Emily heard someone say.

"I can't do that, Miss, it's against policy," a nurse said.

"Agent Jennifer Jareau, I work at the Pentagon. Let me in before I press charges," the voice said.

"JJ!" Emily tried to call out.

"Em, I'm here," JJ said.

"Did you get Doyle?" Emily asked.

JJ looked away. "That's what this is about. We didn't get him. We have to put you into protection," JJ said quietly. Emily felt her heart sink.

"It's not going to help. As long as he knows I'm alive, he'll go after you guys," Emily whispered.

"I know. That's why Emily Prentiss is going to "die." You'll be given a new identity in France, a few fake passports, and plenty of cash," JJ said, a tear running down her face.

"Can...can you send everyone else in?" Emily asked.

JJ shook her head. "They can't know," she whispered.

"They're all going to think I died too?" Emily asked, horrified.

"It's the only way Doyle will buy it. Everyone but me and Hotch will think you're dead," JJ answered.

"It's the only way, isn't it?" Emily asked, tears streaming down her face. "It's the only way to keep,all,of you safe."

JJ nodded. "I'm so sorry, Emily."

"Don't... don't let them mourn too much over me... I'm going to miss you guys. Tell them it's not their fault? Please?" Emily asked her.

JJ gave her a weak smile, "I will. Don't worry."

"How are you going to get me out of here with all these nurses?" Emily asked.

"We're going to say we're transferring you and you "die" in the process. The team will know nothing about that and will think you never made it off the operating table," JJ said quietly.

Emily looked away and stared off into space. "Do you know how many times I've had to fake my own death for undercover work? This is the first time I was sad to go..." her voice trailed off and tears rolled down her face. "God, I thought that bastard was out of my life for good when we put him away."

"When we catch him, you can always come back," JJ offered.

"Yeah, but what are the odds of that happening?" Emily asked.

"Rhetorically?" JJ joked.

"Oh, don't turn into Reid on me," Emily joked back. JJ smiled, but the humor was short lived.

"We have to get this moving..." JJ said quietly, glancing away from Emily.

Emily sighed. "Yeah, I know."

"I'm going to go out to the team. Someone else will be in here in a minute," JJ said.

"Okay," Emily responded in a choked whisper.

"I'll see you tomorrow in Paris to give you everything," JJ said.

Emily smiled, "I'll miss you guys."

JJ gave a half smile, "Trust me, I think we'll miss you more."

With one last smile JJ left Emily's hospital room with a heavy heart to give the team the news of Emily's "death." When JJ made it out to he waiting room, the moat prominent thought in her mind was "I really hate my job sometimes."
