JJ lay still holding back tears as the doctor moved his
hands over her abdomen.  Looking over to
her right, she could see Emily.  They had
told her to leave when they first started examining her and she had
refused.  The tone in her voice let them
know she was not to be messed with so they left her alone.  She needed to talk to her and let her know
about Jane.

“Ohh…” one particular touch elicited a moan from her.

“Jennifer?” Emily approached again and was waved off by a
nurse.  Ignoring her, she took Jennifer’s
left hand.  “Shhh baby its okay…”
brushing away her tears she kissed her cheek.

“Agent Prentiss we need to take her to x-ray.” Emily nodded
and went to move away, but JJ grabbed her hand.

“Emily, please how’s Jane?” Emily looked at her and tried to
hide her feelings from the woman she loved.
She saw when they brought Jane in; she only had to see Maura to know
that it didn’t look good. Focusing on JJ she tried to think of what to say to
her.  She promised she would never lie to
her again.

“Jayje honey, she’s not doing to well.  I haven’t checked but…”

“Please Em you need to check on her,” agitated she was
taking shallower breaths,

“Agent Prentiss, please don’t upset her.”

Glaring at the nurse, Emily ignored her.  “Jennifer, slow down honey, I will okay.”

Tears rolling down the side of her face, “she protected me
Emily, she wouldn’t let them hurt me so he…he…she was coughing up blood
Em…please…I’m fine…check on her, on Maura…”

“Okay honey I will, I’ll go check right now okay, I
promise…I called Hotch and he sent the jet to get Garcia up here.  She should be here soon Jayje, okay.  I won’t leave you till she’s here.” Emily was
not going to leave her alone.

All that talking tired her out and JJ nodded as they wheeled
her out.

Emily stood there trying to sort through her feelings.  She needed to keep a clear head, JJ needed
her, they still had to find Rodriguez, and dammit she promised, she had to go
check on Jane.

Walking down the hallway she found Maura sitting outside a
trauma room.  “Maura?” she said
tentatively.

“Oh Emily, how is JJ?” her voice was off, flat, she didn’t
sound like the Maura she had drinks with what seemed like a lifetime ago now.
