-------------------------------------------------------

Emily's POV

JJ and i have been stuck at home for almost 2 months and its killing me. "You excited to be going back tomorrow" i ask her. She sighs from the opposite side of the couch we were sitting on, "dont remind me" she laughed rolling her eyes. "Oh come on, it wont be that bad, and you can finally get out of his apartment" i say tugging at her foot, motioning her to come closer to me. She scoots closer to me and lays her head on my shoulder, "but what about Henry, i dont think im ready to leave him yet" she complained. I laughed harder than i should have at her little comment, "sorry i didnt know you were moving across the counrty" i said between laughs gasping for air. She hit me in the arm just below my shoulder and right above my cut, that shut me up pretty quick. I rubbed the sore spot and looked her in the eyes, she had an evil smirk on. "Your evil, you know that?" i ask jokingly. "Yup" she smiled. She got up off my shoulder then the couch and walked into the kitchen, she walked up to the counter and opened one of the cabinets above her. As she reached up her shirt lifted off of her hips the slightest bit and her figure was perfect, i couldnt help but stare. " Take a picture itll last longer" she scoffed, i laughed and pushed myself off the couch, "i would but sadly my phones in the room" i playfully smiled. She was still trying to reach up into the cabinet to grab a cup so i walked behind her and snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her in close. She giggled and loosened my arms, turning around to face me "these stupid cabinets are to high" she pouted, "oh really" i spoke slowly and clearly. She blushed and turned around again, trying one more time for the cup. I admirred the perfection in front of me but got snapped out of my state when JJ let out a small whine, "i give up" she said walking off and jumping up onto the bar, sitting on it. I reach up, carful of my wounds, and grab the cup with ease, "you couldve just asked" i smirked, JJ was significantly shorter than me even though i was only 5'6, so i have to help her reach a lot of stuff but i dont mind. "You suck" she said hopping of the bar and grabbing the cup from my hand, we both laughed. Just then, Henry woke from his mid-day nap. "Ill get him" JJ called from the other side of the kitchen, i gave her a nod and sat down at the island in the middle of the room. Moments later JJ walks out of the nursery with little Henry in her arms, "i just remembered, you have physical theropy at 3" she said walking over to me. I rolled my eyes, i hated PT, "do-" i started but she cut me off "yes you have to go, unless you never want to go back to work again", my eyes widened and i shut my mouth taking Henry from her arms. I bobbed him up and down by squatting, "your mommy thinks i need to go to a special doctor to get stronger but i have all the training i need right here" i spoke to him in a higher voice than normal poking him in the stomach when i mentioned him. I looked back at JJ and i could tell that her heart had just melted but she also wanted to kill me. "You and duck (Henry's nick name from Emily) gonna come with me?" i asked sitting back down on the couch while she prepares a bottle, "thats what i thought, why" she answered "nothing, i just wondered" i said back setting up Henry for feeding. When JJ had Henry she opted for bottle feeding because she couldnt bare the thought of not being able to drink coffee, especially with our job and a new baby. She walked over and handed the bottle to me and i started to feed him.

JJ's POV

I sat there watching Emily feed Henry,'shes so good with him' i thought. It was 1:40 now so when Henry as done eating and got burped we would have to get on the road because Em's doctor was pretty far away. While they finished up i walked into the bedroom and threw on some black skinny jeans and one of Emily's oversized  T-shirts, they were much comfier than anyother shirt and they smelt like her. I went into the bedroom to through on light make-up and then walked out. Henry was getting burped when i started packing a bag for Emily and Henry with toys, gadgets and clothes. Emily called me over and i helped her get up with Henry, she placed him into the carrier and grabbed her keys. She was cleared to drive 2 weeks ago and ever since then she hasnt let me drive. I picked up the back pac and put it on before picking up Henry and we all walked out the door. It was about an hour drive, we sat there in comfortable silence listening to music and holding hands. We both weren't very sure what we were yet but we loved each other and thats what matters. We arrived and walked into the big building and into the elevator after signing in. We got into the room and Emily started her session. about half way through they stared to practice sitting on the floor then getting up from there on her own. Shes been trying this for about a month now but cant seem to get it. On her first try she got to her knees but lost all her strength, the second time she didnt even get to her knees. I could tell she was getting frustrated and discouraged so i called her over to me. Doctor Mars helped her up and she walked over to me, almost collapsing into me. "Listen baby i know your tired but i believe in you, you can do this" i gave her a small kiss on the forehead and sent her off. She shot me a small tired smile. She sat down on the floor and looked over to me, i held Henry up so she could see his little face. She got her legs behind her and put her hands down to steady herself, she slowly started to push herself up. She was shaking and panting trying to lift her right leg. I was amazed when she get her foot below her and planted it on the ground, i clapped and cheered, a few minutes later she had both feet planted below her and she was squatting resting her body weight on her legs. She was still shaking when she tried to push herself up further, half way through she dropped back into the low squatting position, i started cheering again and telling her she can do it. She rested there for a moment then with all her strength she pushed on the legs and stood up. I jumped up out of my seat with Henry and ran over to her. Doctor Mars helped her sit back down on the ground, she was covered in sweat and shaking but through all that she still looked beautiful. She reached out for Henry and pulled me into close, our foreheads touching, "you did it baby" i whispered. She pulled me into a kiss and i heard doctor Mars exit the room for a minute. Almost in sink with this perfect moment Henry decided to let out a very happy and very adorable laugh. "Thanks duck" Emily replied to him after we let go of our kiss. It has been a rough 2 months ever since that night when Emily got hurt but it has all been worth it. Doctor Mars entered the room again and dismissed Emily 15 minutes early because of her hard work and amazing accomplishment . Se congratulated her and walked off while i walked back to the bag i brought. I handed Emily cloth to wipe her sweat with and got a wheelchair from the corner. Emily is usually to weak to stand after PT so i wheel her out to the car and drive home. She gains most of her strength back after a meal and an hour rest in the car. We finally get home at 6 and we ended up just getting food on the road. I first bring Henry in and place him next to a baby monitor then i go back to the car and grab Em. "Thanks" she says, i roll my eyes "you dont have to keep saying thank you ya know", "yea i know, but i want to because i really am thankful". I give her a small smile before helping her into the elevator, that her apartment complex just happens to have, thankfully. We arrive in the house and i set Emily on the couch. Even though its only 6, i get Henry ready for bed. I bathe him and dress him in his pjs. by the time its all done and i put him down its 7. Hes such a good baby, he mostly sleeps through the night until about 6 in the morning. "Night duck, i love you" Emily says through the monitor while she lays on the couch. i walk out and over to the couch, i place my hands out in front of me and Em takes them "ready" i ask, she hesitantly shakes her head up and down "i guess".

Emily's POV

We slowly make our way to the shower and step inside. JJ helps me get stable while the hot water crashes down on us. Its a slow process but its getting a little faster everyday. Basically the knife split a lot of my muscle and went into my appendix, luckily it wasnt a vital organ, so using my core for anything is hard but JJ helps a lot. We finally get done in the shower and get dressed in our comfy cloths and head off to bed. We get in our respective sides and JJ carefully places her head on the joint part between my shoulder and chest, shes so gentle its almost like shes an angel, my angel. We start to fall asleep all tangled up in each other, just how it should be. My thoughts and dreams soon shift to how JJ has to go back to work in the morning, it scares me that i wont be there to see whats happening but i trust the BAU, my family, with my life. If i didnt i would probably be dead with a knife in my stomach. I eventually drift off to the sound of soft snores from JJ and thoughts of my friends.
