“Here,” reaching the fourth floor, she stepped out.  The back up generators allowed for the
hospital to continue functioning, but at a diminished capacity.  The lighting in the hallway was dimmer as a
result.  She could see the uniformed
officer at JJ’s door and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Stay here, check the rooms on either side and Frost, check
in with the nurses station, I’ll go check on JJ.”

Showing her ID to the officer again, Emily went in.

“Emily Elizabeth Prentiss!” the deliberate way her name was
spoken shocked her for just a moment.
Flashing a look at Garcia who was sitting innocently by the bed, she
swallowed and looked back at JJ.

Blue eyes flashing, Emily knew JJ was pissed about what she
had done.

Hands rose in surrender, “Jennifer honey let me explain…”

“Don’t you honey me Emily!
How could you?  You know how I
feel about narcotics…you know…” between the pains and the meds, she couldn’t
help the tears that rolled down her face at what she felt was Emily’s betrayal.

Moving quickly to her side, she picked up her uninjured hand
and kissed it. “Honey you were in so much pain, I couldn’t stand to see you
like that.”  Smiling, “you’re so
stubborn, you would’ve just kept refusing.
Your body needed a break” kissing her on the lips, “so did you” Emily
looked into her eyes and waited for the next attack.

JJ couldn’t stay mad at the beautiful profiler, who
could.  Truth be told she was just angry
she was stuck in this bed and not out finding this ***** with the rest of the
team.

Deflated, “you’re right I know, but that was dirty pool
Emily, just dirty…I will never forgive you if you do something like that
again…”

Emily saw the meaning of her words in her eyes, “fine, but
you have to promise me something
Jennifer…you will not let yourself suffer needlessly…” raising a hand to her
lips, she stopped JJ’s next words. “I’ll promise if you promise” taking her
hand away she waited.

“Fine, now kiss me properly dammit, I missed you.” Ignoring
Garcia’s look of surprise, Emily captured JJ’s lips with her own, only stopping
when they both needed to breathe.

“Wow…” JJ said breathlessly.

“I didn’t hurt you, did I?” Emily stepped back and looked at
her flushed face.

“Honey if you did anything you healed her, I don’t think
she’s feeling any pain right now” a chuckling Garcia watched as JJ touched her
lips.
