Jemily One Shots

Injury

Emily's POV

Yeah, so I'm fucked. I may or may have not gotten shot in the shoulder while detaining an unsub. I can already tell JJ is more pissed than sorry for me. Thankfully I was released from the hospital the night I was shot. I swear JJ was gonna make me stay overnight as punishment.

We pulled up to the house, JJ grabbing Henry from the backseat because apparently I'm 'impaired from the waist up'. Henry woke up from being picked up.
"Mama, I want mama to hold me" He pushes away from JJ with pleading arms towards me
"Not tonight bub, mama got a boo boo and she wouldn't want to hurt you if she picked you up" JJ says the last part while death staring at me. 100% fucked. Part of me wants Henry to refuse to go to bed so I have more time to run, hide, or just end it all myself because Jennifer gets the chance to rip my head off.

Sadly though our child is a literal angel and settled with JJ carrying him in and not me. I put all our clothes in the wash while JJ gets our boy ready for bed. Once I see JJ walk out of his room and into ours I run across the hallway, careful she doesn't see me or I might die from her death stare. I slowly open Henry's room to see him still awake, he smiles as I enter the room, his smile quickly fades as he sees my arm in a sling.
"Mama what happen, did a bad guy get you?" I pray for the day he realizes that we are not superheroes fighting the bad guys, but just normal people who hunt murderers and psychopaths.
"Yeah monkey, this time one did get me" I hate having him see me hurt, I'm supposed to make my family feel safe and protected. What good am I if I can't live up to the standard?

I kiss Henry's head and make sure he's snug under the covers before telling him goodnight and that I love him. My heart nearly shatters right before I make it out of the door.
"Mama, are you gonna die?" Well this sucks, how am I even supposed to respond to a question like that. Thank god for Jennifer coming in the room with a glass of water for Henry right as he asked me.
"Of course not monkeys, soon mama will feel better again. Just like it never happened. But that means that she needs lots of rest and you can't go climbing all over her like you normally do, ok?"
"Ok mommy"

We walk out of our son's room and my eyes dart to the floor, I dare not make eye contact or I might die... for the second time in my life. JJ takes her hands and lifts my chin so my eyes meet hers. I slowly look into her eyes, ready to meet death. I'm slightly surprised when I don't flatline right then and there.
"We will talk about this"
"Y-yeah of c-course" I stutter. We get into our bathroom and JJ takes out some rubbing alcohol. This is gonna suck. She motions for me to take my shirt off so I obey and take the sling off in the process. She hasn't gotten the chance to check me until now so her eyes grow big and a small gasp escapes her mouth. I don't blame her, my entire left side is bruised and there is a fucking hole in my shoulder from a bullet. She takes the bandage off and starts inspecting my injuries.

"Emily Prentiss you cannot live like you don't have a purpose. You have a family and most importantly, a son. A son who cries when you leave to get groceries, a son who would be crushed if she never came home again" her voice fades. We're both crying now and I want to hug her but my shoulder hurts too much to move. Of course because she is a great profiler she sees that I'm uncomfortable and grabs the pills the doctor prescribed me for the pain. She takes one out and hands it to me.
"I'm not taking that, I don't do doctor pills. Nope, not for me" She rolls her eyes and puts the pill back in the bottle. Damn, she's to the point where she doesn't even want to argue about it. JJ turns to walk out of the bathroom but I grab her belt loops before she can, I turn her towards me,
"Hey, look at me. I'm alive and breathing, I'm sorry that I scared you but it comes with the job. We both have gotten hurt worse. I'm sorry that I wasn't more careful, I will be more cautious in the future ok?" She brings her eyes up to mine, a tear escaping. I wiper her eyes gently with my hands.
"Ok, I believe you. But just remember that you have a reason to live. You can't just go risking your life every day" I smile at her and hug her with my good arm
"Yes ma'am"

JJ's POV

I go back to cleaning Em's wound. She knows not to complain because I'll make her have something to complain about. Then she will really have to take those pills. I'm proud of her though, especially because she hasn't always had the best experience with pills, addiction wise.

I finish cleaning and wrapping her wound before lightly hitting her good arm, motioning that I'm done. We brush our teeth in silence, doing silly dancing at each other to pass by time. We get into the bedroom, I quickly change into one of Em's oversized shirts and underwear, while she just puts some sweats on. She turns to me,
"Nice shirt, who'd you get it from?" Em says in an obviously sarcastic tone.
"Some weird girl with a hole in her shoulder" I shoot back sharply, not too harsh because I don't want her to think I'm actually serious.

We climb into bed, I lay my head on Em's good side, she puts her arm around my waist
"Goodnight babe" She says tiredly. Yeah these next days were gonna go by pretty slow, especially since I'm basically gonna have to deal with Henry 90% of the time.
"Goodnight love"

I wake up to Em falling on the floor, what the hell? Oh, nightmare.
"Ow! Shit" She's clutching her shoulder. I turn on the light and walk over to her, making sure her stitches didn't come out. Good, they didn't. Henry walks into the room looking scared.
"Mommy I'm scared, there was a loud noise. Can I sleep in here?" I'm too exhausted to try and get him back in his own bed.
"Its ok bub, yeah you can sleep with us tonight"
Emily never talks about her nightmares to me so I help her back into bed and big spoon her so she feels safe and secure. Henry settles between us, cuddling my chest because he 'doesn't want to touch his mama because he is afraid to hurt her'. Henry falls asleep quickly, I wish I could fall asleep as quickly as him. Em follows him and is out 15 minutes later, her light snores filling the room. I fall asleep knowing both my babies are safe and asleep.

Emily's POV

The next few days went ok....ish. If you count 'ok' as JJ wanting to rip off everyone's head because I'm not fully mobile yet with my arm and we have an energetic 4 year old who doesn't quite understand that he is driving his mommy crazy by climbing all over her.

Hotch has allowed me back to work but I'm still on desk duty. I knock on garcias layer, I need to ask her a favor, mainly for JJ sake but also for mine.
"Hi love bug, I was just about to give out my goodbyes for the day, whatcha need?"
"Hey Pen, would you mind if Henry had slept over for the night. I think JJ is going slightly insane having to run after him herself and I want to give her a break for a bit"
"Well of course my pretty prince, bring him over as soon as you can, I miss my favorite godson" I laugh knowing Henry is her only godson...that I know of at least.
"Great, I'll drop him off as soon as I pick him up from his day care.

*Time Skip*

Henry is off at Garcias and JJ falls onto the couch as soon as we get home, that girl works herself too much I swear. I convince her that the bed is more comfortable and lead her into our room.
"Take off your shirt and shoes Jareau" I intrust JJ, she looks at me confused but starts unbuttoning her shirt.
"Are you trying to seduce me Agent prentiss?" She smirks,
"Lay on the bed, i'm gonna give you a back massage" I go to the bathroom and grab the lotion.

45 minutes later I'm convinced JJ is asleep so I pull her work pants off and get her under the covers, she almost immediately puts her leg over my waist and head on my good shoulder
"Goodnight loser" she mumbles.
"Goodnight meanie" I whisper back to her before kissing her forehead and falling asleep myself.
