The meltdown had since passed, and Emily sat on one of the hotel beds, JJ occupying the other. The blonde sat with her legs crossed at the ankles, hands picking at a lose thread on the old warn comforter, headphones covering her ears as she rocked back and forth.

"Ok, just relax, Em. This has happened before. You know how this goes. She will come back to you when she's regulated again." The brunette said to herself, resisting the urge to take a seat beside the blonde FBI agent on the other bed, but somehow, she managed to stay put.

"How could things have gone to hell so quickly? One minuteHotch is handing out room keys, and the next she's having a meltdown over me not getting to stay in the hotel room with her, throwing off her routine. Why did I think that was a good idea, having her stay with Spencer?" Emily wondered to herself, glancing over to check on her friend and remembering the events from earlier.

The team enters the hotel, all exhausted and just ready for some sleep. Just by looking at the place, Emily can see that there hasn't been much decorating happening. The wallpaper looks as if it hasn't been changed in years and jack could do a better paint job than what she is seeing. She is snapped out of her thoughts by a tug on her arm.

"What is it, sweetheart?" She whispers, speaking to JJ as gently as she can, knowing the blonde is possibly on the verge of a meltdown.

Before JJ can respond however, Hotch appears with room keys, his next words sending the blonde at Emily side spiraling head-long into the meltdown the older woman had mentally been preparing for.

"Dave you're with me, Reid you're with JJ and Prentiss you're with- "He starts but before he can finish the younger woman is screaming the word no at the top of her lungs, startling everyone in the process.

Emily, seeing the receptionists disapproving glare quickly takes charge after sharing a silent look with Hotch. She knows what is going on and what she needs to do.

"Look, if she can't stop acting like that- "The receptionist snaps, motioning to JJ who is now rocking back and forth while a fist repeatedly hits her head and Emily rolls her eyes knowing where this is going.

"Then she will have to leave." She explained but the brunette shakes her head, quickly making her way over to JJ and Spencer, the younger man attempting to stop the younger woman's destructive behavior.

Emily, seeing he was having little success quickly took charge of the situation while Hotch went to talk to the receptionist who by this point, was glaring at JJ with the intensity of an animal about to get its pray.

"Get, that, woman, out, of, here, now." She hisses and Hotch just glares, clearly not the least bit intimidated and not backing down.

This was his agent and she had every right to be here. He wasn't about to let any of his team be bullied. Seeing Emily leading JJ toward the elevators, he sighed in relief before turning back to the woman at the counter.

"I'm only going to say this once so you better listen. Agent Jarreau is a member of my team and we are here to do a job. I will not tolerate this type of behavior again." He growled before heading in the direction his team had just gone.

"Shhh, love. It's ok. You're ok. Can I help you?" Emily whispered as she guided JJ into their shared hotel room and carefully placed their items on the beds they would be occupying.

The blonde let out a whine and shook her head, pulling out her headphones and taking a seat on the bed closest to the window.

Emily sighed as she once again checked on her blonde co-worker. JJ had finally removed her headphones and had moved and sat beside her, her hand almost touching Emily's own. Taking a chance, Emily gently cleared her throat, gaining her friends attention.

"Hi, sweetheart. Are you feeling better?"

"MMM." JJ responded quietly, moving until she can rest her head on Emily's shoulder and the brunette wraps an arm around her friend, pulling her close, before picking up her ipad and turning on the sound Of Music, knowing they had a little time before dinner.

"You Know I'll always be here for you, right?" Emily whispered and in response, the blonde just nods, cuddling closer to the only person who has ever truly been there for her.
