Turning around, she was surprised when the room dipped
slightly and she caught herself on Frost’s arm.

“Hey you okay?” The roaring in her ears drowned out his
voice until she heard nothing.

“*****!”

“Emily!”

Morgan caught her as she fell.  Picking her up in his arms he walked out of
the room quickly yelling for a doctor.

“Goddammit Emily Prentiss!” JJ’s anger at Emily they knew
was JJ’s fear for her partner.

“Oh honey she’ll be okay,” Penelope pushed her back down
watching as she grabbed at her ribs from the sudden movement.

“Someone please go tell me what’s going on, Reid?” she
pleaded.

“Oh…sure…” running out he went to follow Morgan.

Watching Garcia struggle with a distraught JJ, Hotch went
over, “JJ you need to calm down.”

“I am calm” she
said grunting in pain.

“Agent Jareau, you are not going to be of any good to Emily
if you re-injure yourself.” His expression cold, he knew it was the only way to
get through to her.

“Yes sir,” Leaning back on the bed, she looked at everyone
still in the room.  “It’s over isn’t it.”

“Yes JJ, its over.”

Emily woke up in the emergency room.  Looking around, she saw Morgan napping in a
chair.

“Morgan?” her voice sounded odd, light almost. “Morgan,” she
said more forcefully.

Head snapping up, “Hey Princess…how you feeling?” Morgan sat
up straight and watched his begin to figure things out.

Moving to sit up, she hissed she tried to move her left
hand, looking down at herself she realized her arm was in a sling and her
shoulder “***** I passed out didn’t I?”

“Yeah you did…scared the hell out of us too when you did
it.”

“Sorry…wait is JJ okay? ***** I passed out in front of her,
dammit….dammit,” Morgan let her vent.

“You done?”

“Why the hell am I trussed up like this,” indicating the
bandage and sling.

“Prentiss you were shot. You lost a lot of blood on top of
it, hell I’m surprised you didn’t pass out sooner.”

“So when do I get out of here?” Emily asked. All she wanted
was to get back to JJ and find out where things stood with Jane.

“As soon as the IV comes out, I’ll let the nurse know you’re
awake.”

Waiting for him to come, she wondered how Maura was, and
Jane.

Maura and Frankie were in the waiting room when the others
arrived.  JJ was now settled in another
room on the same floor.  Rossi and Garcia
were taking turns spending time with her until Emily was done.
