A/N: *waves nervously* Hi :)

So I know that I said I'd have this up at the latest (last) Sunday, but I was sick all week so I'm hoping you guys will let me off!

This one is also super short…but I'm dedicating tomorrow to write a longer one which I will have up tomorrow or Monday I PROMISE.

Hopefully the plot line in this will make up for the wait seems as it's what you guys have been asking for!

JJ took her seat once again by Emily's side. Having sent Reid home over an hour ago to get some sleep – which she knew she could do with too, but she couldn't sleep knowing Emily was all alone in the hospital every night – she was getting to work on her third cup of coffee that morning… at least this one was decaf, right?

She pushed some stray hair out of Emily's eyes before sighing, and beginning her usual might-as-well-be-talking-to-myself routine.

'Hey Em. It's me, JJ, again… I don't need to tell you the same things do I? All you need to know is that Taylor's hanging in there, and we all need you to wake up…'

She leant back, picked up the newspaper left by Spencer and began to read, keeping a firm grip of Emily's left hand in hers.

'Let's see what's going on outside this hospital shall we?' she whispered more to herself than to Emily.

A few minutes later she was distracted by a tightening grip around her hand, just to look up expectedly to see Emily hadn't stirred. Shaking it off as her imagination, JJ turned her attention back to the newspaper, just to feel another small squeeze a few minutes later.

'Em?' JJ leaned towards her friend, noting the slight furrowing of Emily's forehead and the way her eyes were beginning to squint under the bright hospital lights. A slight moan escaped her best friend's lips and JJ unconsciously held her breath waiting for her to finally wake up.

Then it happened. Those beautiful big brown eyes opened and JJ could've done cartwheels down the corridor if she wasn't so focused on her coming to. She watched as Emily's eyes met the bright light, and moaning, she turned her head away, her eyes squeezed tightly shut again before they flickered open, focusing in on the blonde.

'Hi' a broken whisper of a voice escaped chapped lips, and JJ let out the breath she didn't realise she was holding.

'Hi' she grinned, tears already welling up as she enveloped Emily in a tight hug until she heard a slight wince beneath her. Pulling away, she sat back on the chair – although pulled it closer to the bed – and pushed all hair off of Emily's face. 'You scared the shit out of us, you know that right?'

'S-sorry'. The voice may be broken, but it was sure as hell Emily Prentiss's, and JJ didn't fight the tears anymore.

'Don't you dare be sorry, this isn't your fault! He did this.'

She watched Emily finally comprehend where she was, and as she saw understanding register in those brown eyes, she braced herself for the question she knew was coming. That same name she was going to direct towards JJ for answers, just like she did in that god forsaken basement.

'Taylor?'

JJ took a deep breath, formulating a response that would somehow make this easier for Emily to understand.

'She's still asleep Em. Just like you where up till right now… but she'll wake up, I mean you just did! She's gonna be fine. …speaking of Taylor, why didn't you introduce her to us? She's pretty hot' JJ smiled, trying to lighten the mood before it had chance to darken further.

Ignoring JJ's question, Emily tried to work out how serious a condition her girlfriend must me in to still be asleep like she was "up till right now".

'How long was I out?' Emily's eyebrows furrowed as she looked at JJ.

'…Ten days.' JJ watched as yet again Emily's eyes showed her processing what was being said, and she witnessed the exact moment that the severity of that statement dawned on her best friend.

'I want to see her Jen' Emily's eyes were pleading, and JJ knew she couldn't prevent it from happening.

'Okay Emily, I'll make you a deal. I was supposed to get a doctor as soon as you woke up to come in and check on you. How about I do that, and once they've finished I'll talk to them about seeing Taylor?'

'Promise?' the still raspy but getting vaguely clearer voice begged.

'I promise.'

A/N: Annnddddd she's awake! I'd love to hear what you guys think, maybe to shape the next chapter, and what you guys think should be Taylor's fate.

*Runs off to start next chapter*

(I'm also going to be getting more Kennedy Curse up within the next couple days for any readers of that)
